Chapter 73

But treating someone's granddaughter as a hot weapon shouldn't be said casually.

Lao Zhao seemed to have read through Lu Cheng's thoughts and changed the subject:
"Hahaha, it's just that I'm old-fashioned. What kind of world is this? How can there be a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend?

Anyway, if you like me as a brother, even if I die one day, I will just follow you so that I can have food to eat. "

Lu Cheng could see Lao Zhao's worry and assured:
"Old Zhao, you don't have to worry about this. After all, we have been together for so long. For the development of our villa base, you can be said to have worked hard and achieved great results.

Obviously even if I don't inherit your skills in the future, I won't treat her badly. "

The righteous words Lu Cheng said were not deceiving Lao Zhao, but what he said was indeed the truth.

Lu Cheng was not happy with Zhao Mingming, a beautiful girl like her, who wanted to be a mechanic, but her hands were covered with calluses.

Only with tender hands can you shoot the pistol faster.

Lao Zhao nodded, and then asked again:

"By the way, Brother Cheng, how about the Central Medical College you mentioned before? Is there any progress on Professor Jiang's vaccine?"

Lu Cheng knew what Lao Zhao was thinking. He was a survivor, so he naturally hoped to develop a vaccine.

After all, ordinary people think that as long as a vaccine can be developed, this apocalypse can be ended and the world can return to normal.

But it's not that easy.

Lu Cheng hesitated for a moment and said:

"This is still very difficult, and the equipment is not complete. Even if Professor Jiang wants to carry out research, there is nothing he can do.

Various things have been dragging on in the past few days, and the medical school didn't have time to go over and clean it up. I'm afraid it will have to be delayed.

In fact, even if there is really hope for a vaccine, it may not be developed in the short term. It is too difficult to develop a vaccine for viruses.

Even if it is done, I am afraid it will take seven or eight years, or even more than ten years. By then, who can say for sure what the world will look like. "

Lao Zhao nodded in agreement. Lu Cheng just pointed out these words. In fact, everyone understood in their hearts.

Even if a vaccine is available now, the world will never go back to what it was before.

"Grandpa, what are you telling Brother Cheng?"

Zhao Mingming opened the door and walked out with a plate of skewered skewers.

Old Zhao laughed naively and said:

"It's nothing to just chat."

On the other side, Shen Xue also came back carrying various barbecue items.

Lu Cheng thought about the Central Medical College. He would need elite alien crystal cores for future upgrades. He would definitely encounter many elite zombies when he went to the Central Medical College.

When Kong takes action, find an opportunity to go over and clean it up.

Under the night sky, peaceful days are short but beautiful.

------

Early the next morning.

Lu Cheng covered his head and raised his head. Looking at Zhang Xiaoyun, Shen Xue and Jiang Shuyao who were all around him, he knew that there was another big battle last night.

Yesterday, I drank a lot of wine in a happy mood, and several people ate the lamb until it was clean.

Because he drank too much, Lu Chengdu couldn't remember what they talked about later.

It seems that I have planned the follow-up development of the base with Lao Zhao, but the amount of this project is not small. It is a bit difficult to completely build the base with the current manpower.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, we are not planning to become bigger and stronger and create greater glory.

Besides, if you don't have the strength, even if you build the base like the Skeleton Gang's base, what's the use if you can't block other people's attacks.

Unless there is a professional construction team that can come over to help build a shelter that can withstand a nuclear bomb attack during wartime, then Lu Cheng will definitely hire him with a high salary.

With thoughts in his head, Lu Cheng stood up and made himself a cup of coffee. He picked up his phone and saw a series of messages from Xu Jingqiu.

[Xu Jingqiu: Lu Cheng, have you really destroyed the Skeleton Gang? 】

[Xu Jingqiu: Lu Cheng, are you not injured?I'm really worried about you. You didn't answer my phone calls. Are you okay? 】

There were several missed calls later.

Lu Cheng set the sound to mute, so it was normal that he didn't receive the call. He checked the time and saw that it was past ten in the morning, at which time Xu Jingqiu must have woken up.

Lu Cheng simply called back.

Fortunately, the phone call can still be connected and there is still signal.

Lu Cheng knew that these communication equipment relied on signal base stations, and signal base stations required power.

However, the power of these base stations is set up independently, and in order to avoid unexpected situations caused by natural disasters, they will be equipped with additional power supplies.

Even if there is a power outage in the city, the extra power supply can last for a month or two.

This is also the reason why the city suffered a major power outage a month ago, but can still use the Internet and make phone calls.

I guess it won't be long. In another month at most, I'm afraid the Internet and phone signals will be cut off.

Not long after the call was connected, the other party answered the call, and Xu Jingqiu asked nervously:
"Hello? Is it Lu Cheng? Are you okay?"

"Officer Xu, it's okay to worry you. By the way, how did you know that I was killed by the Skeleton Gang? It happened suddenly and I didn't even have time to inform you."

After Lu Cheng finished speaking, the other end of the phone replied:
“I saw the picture posted by your account on Weiyin, and then I read other people’s discussions, saying that the Skeleton Gang was really wiped out.

I haven't heard from you, and I'm still worried about whether you will be injured. I'll be relieved if you call me back. "

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

After Lu Cheng finished speaking and was about to hang up the phone, Xu Jingqiu said immediately:
"Lu Cheng, can I come here today? I have collected all the two alienation orbs you gave me, and I would like to come over to exchange some supplies."

Lu Cheng thought for a while and said:

"Okay, let's meet in the park then."

"No, no, no, I mean, can I go find you directly?" Xu Jingqiu on the other side of the phone said cautiously:

"Don't worry, I know you're worried that there will be moles in my place because of the many people here. I'm the only one driving here, and I won't bring anyone else with me."

Lu Cheng laughed dumbly. He didn't have such worries. People around the city center wouldn't come casually if they had nothing to do.

What's more, the Skeleton Gang has been wiped out, so even if a mole is installed, it will be useless now.

But after thinking about it, Xu Jingqiu's method is not bad. After all, the base still has no defensive measures. It would be quite annoying if someone sneaks up to cause trouble. Xu Jingqiu comes alone, which can save a lot of unnecessary worries.

"Okay, then I'll send you the address. When will you come?"

"I'm leaving now!"

Xu Jingqiu sounded very excited on the other end of the phone.

Lu Cheng hung up the phone and sent the address to Xu Jingqiu. It didn't take long for him to receive a reply from Xu Jingqiu.

[Xu Jingqiu: Come over here as a guest. Lu Cheng is waiting for me. 】

Good guy, you seem to be in a really good mood.

Lu Cheng put away the phone, remembered what happened at the Central Medical College, and went next door to look for Jiang Lei.

As soon as I went out, I saw Du Zi holding a petrol pump on the road, manually pumping petrol from the cars.Seeing Lu Cheng coming out, Du Zi immediately raised his hand to say hello:

"Brother Cheng, are you looking for Director Jiang?"

"Yeah, didn't I give you gasoline yesterday? Is it used up?"

Lu Cheng looked at Du Zi strangely, and Du Zi chuckled and said:

"Didn't all that gasoline refuel the generator? The power was just turned on last night. I thought I would go out and collect some gasoline this morning to avoid the embarrassment when the generator runs out of power."

Lu Cheng nodded and said:
"Yes, with so many cars on the road, gasoline is wasted."

"Brother Cheng, that generator is really easy to use. Yesterday, Director Jiang had a lot of scientific research equipment powered on, and he is currently analyzing the specific components of the virus."

Lu Cheng was stunned. He didn't understand these things. Jiang Lei was a professional anyway.

"Okay, then you can continue pumping oil, I'll go over there."

When they arrived at the nursing home, Jiang Lei was in the laboratory.

Lu Cheng walked all the way up and saw several old people and several children sitting in the room watching TV.

What was playing on the TV was obviously a disc. Ultraman finally turned on the power, and they were watching it with gusto.

The laboratory is another room that has been vacated. In the past, only microscopes and other things could be used, but now it is brightly lit from the outside.

Through the door and window, you can hear the hum of the machines inside.

Lu Cheng was already familiar with this place and knocked on the door directly:
"Uncle Jiang, can I, Lu Cheng, come in conveniently?"

After a while, the door opened from the inside. Jiang Lei had dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept well in the past two days, but he was still very energetic.

"Come on, Lu Cheng, come in and sit down. Let me tell you, you sent this generator at the right time."

Jiang Lei was wearing a white coat, goggles, and gloves on his hands.

The room is filled with all kinds of metal equipment and instruments.

On the stainless steel experimental table, there are sample petri dishes and observation instruments, as well as aluminum alloy brackets and glass reactors.

On the rows of water pipes, glass bottles are inserted. There are many medicine bottles and labels, and liquids of various colors and concentrations are stored in them.

These reagent substances have complex symbols and equations attached to their labels.

Lu Cheng couldn't understand it anyway, so the chemistry and medicine content was basically returned to the teacher.

White fluorescent lights cast a bright, even light on the ceiling, and safety cabinets, emergency eyewash stations and fire extinguishers hang along the walls.

Just Jiang Lei's outfit and the environment in the laboratory gave off a professional feel.

Lu Cheng even doubted whether he should wear a pair of shoe covers to come in.

"Uncle Jiang, are you doing research? I heard Du Zi said there are results?"

After Lu Cheng asked, Jiang Lei smiled and shook his head, saying:

"There are no results to speak of. They are just some small instruments that have been picked up and missed. They can't even detect the genetic sequence.

Some experiments have been done, but unfortunately there are still too few experimental subjects, and there is no way to directly conduct experiments on human bodies.

But this virus does have a lot of things beyond my expectation. Lu Cheng, do you know that it turns out that the cells mutated by survivors and the cells mutated by zombies are both infected by the same virus. "

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"It means that the infection of the same virus can cause two directions of alienation, human alienation and zombie alienation.

I don't know exactly why this alienation occurs in different directions. There is too little experimental data and there are no experimental subjects. I can only wait until conditions are more sufficient in the future. "

In just a few words, Lu Cheng heard several times that there were too few experimental subjects, and Jiang Lei probably had the intention of directly conducting experiments on living people.

After all, no matter how much research is done on this thing, it still needs to be in the experimental stage before we can see anything. It is impossible to keep immersed in the laboratory to look at the data without experimental specimens.

However, Lu Chengcheng couldn't be of much help with the subject of the experiment. He could only say:
"The survivors are a bit difficult to deal with, but the zombies can still help you catch a few."

"Really?"

Lu Cheng just talked casually, but Jiang Lei's eyes lit up and he said:

"That would be great. It would be great if I could capture a few zombies alive so that I could experiment on them."

Seeing Jiang Lei's excitement, Lu Cheng thought of the word Frankenstein for no reason.

Could the experiment be too much and create some kind of monster?

"Hey, let's not talk about this. Even if we really capture them, I can't contain the zombies in this place. They aren't very big to begin with."

Jiang Lei thought about the actual situation and sighed:
"The venue at the Central Medical College is big enough. It would be great to get some detention equipment and use zombies for in vivo experiments."

"Uncle Jiang, I am here to discuss this matter with you." Lu Cheng continued:
"Some time ago, the weapons arsenal I mentioned has been taken down. I have enough weapons on hand. I plan to go to the Central Medical College and, if possible, give him a thorough cleanup.

At that time, the experimental area there can be used directly. Your laboratory here is still a bit small, which may not be conducive to your experiments. "

When Jiang Lei heard this, his eyes lit up again, he took off his goggles, pulled Lu Cheng out, and said as he walked:
"Really? I've actually been studying the terrain these past few days and even drew a map."

Jiang Lei took Lu Cheng to the office, took out a large recovered map, spread it on the table, and said:

"Although there is monitoring equipment, there is often no way to remind you immediately, so I specially drew a map for you so that you will not get lost in the laboratory after entering. Come on, come on, I will explain it to you. .”

Jiang Lei then pulled Lu Cheng to explain.

In fact, the roads in the laboratory are not complicated. The most important thing is that there are several places where people are particularly dense and there are many zombies. Those places need to be paid special attention to.

After talking about the map, Lu Chengcheng made an appointment with Jiang Lei and let everyone rest for a day tomorrow. They would gather together early the day after tomorrow and set off for another trip to the Central Medical College.

Jiang Lei naturally wanted to follow. When he heard Lu Cheng's arrangement, he immediately rubbed his face and said:
"Okay, okay, then I'll have a good rest tonight so I don't feel sluggish the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Lei said, staggered to the bed in the office, fell down and fell asleep on the bed.

However, Lu Cheng, who was still in the office, was a little confused.

My goodness, are all scientific researchers with high IQs so weird?

He walked out of the office. The people watching outside were still wondering why Director Jiang didn't come out. Lu Cheng stretched out his finger and said:

"Shh, Uncle Jiang is too tired and has fallen asleep now. Let him sleep."

The man nodded quickly.

Lu Cheng made an appointment with the Central Medical College and walked towards the villa area.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw a strange car parked at the door.

Then he saw Xu Jingqiu getting out of the driver's seat and waving to Lu Cheng.

"Lu Cheng!"

Xu Jingqiu was wearing a completely different style of dress than usual.

Her figure is well-proportioned and graceful, with uneven curves, especially the size of her chest, which is extremely proud.

The shoulders are gentle and slender, the slender waist gradually expands into perfect hips, and the whole body seems to be a sculpture, flawless.

No matter how many times he watched it, Lu Cheng still wanted to say it.

The headlights are so big.
