Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1424: There is only one step between a madman and a genius

northwest.

Inside the ancient city wall in the west of Jiayu City.

The boss poured a cup of hand-brewed coffee and picked up a book to read.

But I can't seem to calm down.

It has been almost a week since Xu Zhi set out for the Northern Border. Since contacting them three nights ago, he has not heard from them since.

At that time, Xu Zhi and the others reported that their location was in Yuan City, and they planned to go to the northern border tomorrow.

But after that night, there was no news.

Thinking about this again, the boss dropped his hand on the stool next to him.

He rubbed his brows and asked, "What the hell is going on!"

Could it be that he was really detained by those people from the North?
Looking back now, it seems a bit reckless to send Xu Zhi over there.

But if you think about it carefully, you can wait a little longer.

If there is no more news later, it means that something must have happened to Xu Zhi and the others.

If those people in the North really dare to detain him
The boss's eyes suddenly turned cold. If you don't accept my toast, don't blame me for not giving you a chance.

He didn't care whether Xu Zhi lived or died, but after all, Xu Zhi had followed him for many years, and the entire northwest knew that Xu Zhi was his confidant.

If Beijing killed or detained Xu Zhi, then Beijing would undoubtedly be slapping itself in the face. The boss could not accept such an attitude of Beijing.

Being able to kill Xu Zhi is also a warning from the North to the big guys.

Attitude is very important, and bosses care a lot about attitude.

I was feeling restless and angry, and couldn't even read the book.

"Let Yin Jipeng come over." The boss suddenly shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, a subordinate who was waiting at the door rushed in.

"Okay, boss."

After Xu Zhi led the team to the northern border, the boss still needed someone by his side. Being able to serve him was a good opportunity for many people.

The boss has no shortage of people around him. For a man like him, he would not be sad even if Xu Zhi died.

ten minutes later.

Yin Jipeng hurried to the door, adjusted his breathing slightly, and took a deep breath.

He knocked on the door and walked in after getting permission.

"Boss, you are looking for me."

"Ah."

The boss nodded slightly and calmly put down the book in his hand.

"You prepare yourself and select dozens of people with good eyesight and quick minds from the team to carry out a secret mission in a few days."

Yin Jipeng thought for a moment and asked, "What is the mission?"

"I'll tell you later. You should prepare first and choose the right person. Oh, by the way."

"There is another condition for selecting these people. They must have family members or relatives here."

Hearing this familiar request, Yin Jipeng's eyes flickered.

He guessed that it might be related to the North and the Oil City.

The last time the boss asked me to find a suitable person to go to the North, he also made a similar request.

Xu Zhi took those people out and has not returned until now.

I'm afraid the boss asked me to find someone this time probably for this matter.

"Okay, boss." Yin Jipeng did not continue asking. If he continued asking and the boss got angry, it would be difficult for him.

"Go down." The boss didn't look at him again and waved his hand.

"it is good."

Yin Jipeng turned and left.

In the northwest center building, the meteorite is placed on the second underground floor.

This meteorite is placed in a room made entirely of metal, and entry and exit requires a combination lock.

On the front are two layers of transparent protective covers, in vacuum mode.

If no oxygen is injected, people staying inside will suffocate to death.

On a platform in the middle of the two layers of protective shields, there is an irregular oval-shaped meteorite. The meteorite emits a faint halo and appears a colorful black.

This metal-structured room stands in the center of the second underground floor.

The second underground floor was empty. Apart from a dozen or so guards who were on guard here 24 hours a day, there was no one else.

On the underground floor is the research institute established by Northwest.

This research institute does not research anything other than zombie vaccines.

There are seven or eight people busy in the research institute. Surrounded by iron railings and transparent glass, there are all kinds of zombies, including the newly discovered wall-climbing zombies.

There was even a shelf with many dismembered zombies, and all their parts were soaked in transparent jars filled with formalin.

There was a whole row of shelves, neatly filled and organized into categories, with the type of zombie's organ written below.

"Alas, without the original parameters, we have to rely on repeated experiments to determine it. There are tens of millions of possibilities, which is lower than the chance of winning the lottery." A younger man looked up, pushed the microscope forward, and was a little discouraged.

A gray-haired old man next to him raised his old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses.

"Xiao Hu, we need to be patient when doing research. Don't be impatient and don't be discouraged. When we come up with the answer, all the energy, sweat and time we put in will be worth it."

Xiao Hu is in his early thirties, with a fair face and no beard, and very thin lips, giving people a very sharp feeling.

"Professor Wang, if we do this kind of experiment, it will take us forever. If we all test the sample parameters ten times a day, there will be 3650 million possibilities. In a year, we can only rule out 36500 possibilities, and in ten years, that's possibilities. And that's if we don't eat, drink, or rest."

"In ten years, we can only expel one thousandth of the total. It's too slow."

His words resonated with other people in the research institute.

On the road of research, I always fall into the situation of doubting myself.

This was often encountered in many biochemical fields before the end of the world.

Professor Wang felt that the atmosphere in the research institute was a little subtle, so he said:

“Back then, I studied the human body.”

Xiao Hu was a little annoyed. He had heard this story from Professor Wang countless times.

at this time.

I heard Professor Wang again talk about a major problem in human kidney and bone marrow transplantation that he had spent half his life researching and overcoming.

He frowned in annoyance, but he didn't dare to contradict Professor Wang.

Professor Wang is the dean of this research institute, but he has a good temper and is very patient.

He is a real scientific research expert.

But it's a bit pedantic.

"Professor Wang, I still think we can use the method I mentioned before."

Xiao Hu couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he interrupted:

"Since there are tens of millions of parameter tests, we may never be able to find that parameter in our lifetime. Why don't we take the traditional research route?"

"We will use the most matched immature vaccine we developed, circle a certain city, and release the vaccine liquid to a large number of zombies, so that these zombies can transform and mutate on their own." "With so many zombies, there will definitely be a lot of variants. Obtaining so many different types of variant samples will provide us with a lot of references. At that time, we can use these variants to reverse the parameters and then conduct human experiments.

Even human experiments could be conducted on a large scale.”

Xiao Hu became more and more excited as he spoke, completely unaware that Professor Wang's expression became increasingly uglier as he continued to talk.

The voice just fell.

Boom!
Professor Wang, who had been calm just now, now looked furious and threw the white gloves in his hands heavily on the laboratory table.

"You know what you're talking about!?"

"There are so many zombie variants in a city. The zombies themselves have the law of the jungle. You put so many immature vaccines there. No one knows what kind of zombies will be born. Can we control them?"

Once these zombies get out, do you know what will happen? They are likely to spread and infect other zombies!

Your idea is terrible!"

"Besides, the zombie mutation rate is already quite fast. Don't you think it's not fast enough? You insist on seeking death. If we follow your idea, the consequences may make our situation even more dangerous!"

"They also conducted large-scale experiments on human bodies. I don't even bother to say anything about Huang Shiyong. He captured so many innocent survivors for experiments. What a crooked way!"

bristle.

Everyone in the research institute was silent as they had never seen Professor Wang lose his temper so badly.

Xiao Hu lowered his head and said nothing.

But his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

Scientific research is a very energy-consuming thing, especially for those who are eager for quick success. They keep wasting time and time again, and sometimes they take detours.

Like a madman, never considering the consequences.

"Xiao Hu, don't mention this matter again." Professor Wang warned again.

Professor Wang was very worried about Xiao Hu's approach.

Once the experiment is tested according to Xiao Hu's method, it may indeed speed up the research on the vaccine.

However, his method was too risky.

The outbreak of the apocalypse was caused by the scientific research team that violated regulations to extract trace elements from meteorites from outer space and made an anti-cancer vaccine.

It does not follow the prescribed clinical standards at all. Generally speaking, vaccine clinical trials usually take 3-5 years and also need to go through multiple stages.

But the anti-cancer vaccine was driven by capital, and the trial was compressed to a few months.

On the one hand, a large amount of capital has been invested and it is necessary to recover the cost and get compensation as soon as possible.

On the other hand, there are patients who have cancer and are undergoing chemotherapy, with only a few months left to live.

Moreover, some cancer patients are high-ranking officials who hold tremendous power.

One wants to sell as quickly as possible to recover funds, the other wants to buy as quickly as possible to survive.

For those cancer patients who are in the countdown of their life, they are unwilling to give up any straw and will try every possible means, even if it does not go through compliant clinical trials.

You're going to die anyway, so why not give it a try?

So, in that case, vaccines were brought to the market without undergoing compliant clinical testing.

Launch it openly and honorably.

It doesn't meet clinical criteria, it's OK
Driven by pharmaceutical companies and the powerful people with the disease, the non-conformity becomes conformity.

Non-compliance becomes compliance.

In this world, the standards are set by them. Talking to them about standards is just a joke.

Just like that, something that was clearly not in compliance was launched without restraint.

Unexpectedly, the drug for treating cancer was so effective.

In just a few weeks, a large number of cancer cells disappeared, and some people even recovered.

One month later, the cure rate reached a terrifying 80 percent!
A storm arose.

You should know that before the end of the world, there were tens of millions of new cancer patients each year, and these are new cases!
The anti-cancer vaccine costs millions of dollars per shot, but the poor cannot afford it.

But it's just a drop in the bucket for the rich.

It’s worth spending millions to buy a life.

There are many rich people in this world. As the vaccine spreads
Some poor people even started to pool their money to buy a bottle of medicine, and then shared it among a dozen people. It actually worked, but the effect was much worse.

Soon, after a heavy rain
Everything has changed.

Professor Wang is worried that something similar will happen again.

The lessons learned before are still being suffered.

If we follow Xiao Hu's method, it may lead to the appearance of more terrifying zombies. At that time, human beings will fall into a completely desperate environment.

"Dean Wang, please calm down. Xiao Hu also wants to develop a vaccine as soon as possible. Young people are eager for quick success. You should not argue with him." A middle-aged woman came over to smooth things over.

Pulling on Xiao Hu's clothes, he said, "Xiao Hu, you have to promise Dean Wang that you won't think like this again. I know you have good intentions, but it's too scary."

Professor Wang looked at Xiao Hu and began to consider whether to let Xiao Hu leave the research institute temporarily. After all, he was afraid that Xiao Hu would be too stubborn.
Xiao Hu lowered his head and thought for a long time.

He didn't expect Professor Wang to be so angry. If he didn't admit his mistake and make a guarantee now, Professor Wang had the right to kick him out of the research institute.

The welfare benefits of the research institute are the best among all jobs in the entire Northwest.

If Dean Wang kicks me out, I will never be able to enjoy this kind of benefits again, and I may have to do some very hard work in the future.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hu raised his head and bowed to Professor Wang sincerely and earnestly.

"Dean Wang, I was wrong, I thought it was too simple.

You are right. We who do scientific research must be able to endure loneliness and hardship.

Just like when you were researching human kidney and bone marrow transplantation, you studied like an ascetic for forty years and finally succeeded.

"When the clouds clear, the sun will shine. All the previous efforts will not be in vain."

"Thank you for warning me and preventing me from falling into the abyss of my own self. I promise you that I will completely eliminate that idea from my mind and will never mention it to you again."

"From now on, I will learn from you to focus on the task at hand and not be impatient!"

Xiao Hu's tone, attitude, and even expression were all very appropriate.

In addition, Xiao Hu inadvertently flattered Professor Wang, which made Professor Wang calm down a lot. He temporarily put the idea of ​​letting Xiao Hu leave the institute on hold.

"Well, Xiao Hu, you are very smart and eager to learn. I understand that young people are eager for quick success."

"It's okay. This matter has passed. I see the shadow of my past in you. You are a good seedling. Take your time. When we develop a vaccine, you will look back and realize that everything will be worth it!"

"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Dean Wang." Xiao Hu said very seriously.

Professor Wang smiled and said with emotion:

"The long pass through Xiongguan is really like iron, but now we are crossing it from the beginning."

"Come on, let's move on to the next experiment."

Xiao Hu nodded, returned to the position where he had just sat, put on gloves, and put his eyes close to the microscope to observe.

The moment the eyes are placed under the microscope,
His eyes suddenly changed, filled with reluctance, even with a hint of madness.

He hid the thought deep inside.

There's no chance now.

But one day he would find a chance to test his great idea.
