#353 - Chapter 353 Experiment
"My name is Li Shenglin, are you new here?"
On the shuttle bus back to residential area 1, Xiao Ming looked at the smiling and naturally familiar man, unsure how to respond for a moment.
He had been in the apocalypse for so long, and it had been a long time since he had encountered someone like this.
Usually, it was either you avoiding me or me avoiding you. Survivors simply wouldn't proactively chat with others like this.
But.
This feeling was actually quite nice.
"Hello, my name is Xiao Ming, and these are my companions. We are indeed new here."
After a moment of thought, he responded to the man and began to introduce them.
Soon, not only Li Shenglin, but also Xiao Cong, A Zhen, and others occasionally chimed in, making the atmosphere lively.
......
Xiao Ming felt a strange surge of emotion in his heart.
These people...
Seem kind of good...
The shuttle bus heading to residential area 1 didn't stop for long, departing as soon as it was full.
Carrying a group of people full of hope.
******
Night fell.
Shenzhen border.
That extraordinary building-style base.
In the spacious business hall on the top floor, several people were standing in front of a man in a suit enjoying a massage from a beauty behind him, reporting something.
"Boss, it's confirmed. Sun Wei and the others have been killed. Their remaining corpses have been found in the industrial park where the debt collection took place!"
"After Mr. Ma's examination, they were shot to death before being eaten by zombies, so someone or some force has moved against our people!"
A square-faced man wearing a shirt and dressed neatly bowed his head respectfully, reporting to the boss.
Without a doubt.
These were all people from the Tian Hong Group.
They had discovered that Brother Pao and Brother Wei, who had gone out to collect debts today, had not returned, and then sent people out to find unidentified objects that had been almost gnawed into bone fragments.
Naturally, they needed to report this to the highest leader.
After all, someone moving against their people was a provocation against them!
"Investigate!"
The leader, named Tian Hong, sitting behind a luxurious desk in the corner of the magnificent hall, didn't even bat an eyelid upon hearing his subordinate's report.
He took a deep drag of his cigar, enjoying the neck massage from the woman behind him, and slowly uttered a word.
Subordinates were just that; their deaths were just deaths.
Such things were too common in the apocalypse.
What he was more concerned about was whether someone or some force was causing trouble behind the scenes.
To be able to name a force after himself, one could imagine how great his power was here!
He ruled here with absolute deterrence!
"Understood! We will find out who did it! Moreover, Director Tang's younger brother also died there this time."
After speaking, the square-faced man glanced sideways at the man next to him, who was suppressing his anger and grief.
This man, who looked to be in his thirties, with shoulder-length hair and handsome features, was a cadre in the Tian Hong Group.
In peacetime terms, he was the former manager of the Tian Hong Security Group.
Also someone with some real power.
His younger brother, whose death seemed well-deserved in the eyes of others, was now truly dead.
"Oh?"
"Then let Tang Yan participate in this matter as well."
Tian Hong's heart stirred slightly, and then he spoke, arranging it.
Just giving a subordinate a chance for revenge, it didn't matter.
"Thank you, Boss!"
The handsome man next to him nodded, replying with a similarly respectful tone.
Having completed the report of today's work, everyone except the woman still massaging the leader tactfully retreated.
"Boss, shall I arrange a meal?"
The woman behind Tian Hong had a beautiful face, a exquisite figure, and a temperament that was no less than that of an ordinary internet celebrity star. Even in peacetime, she would have been a rare beauty.
At this time, she was serving the uncrowned king of the surrounding area in a coquettish voice.
Tian Hong didn't answer her, but stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window on one side of the office, gazing at the dark earth outside.
This once glorious city, having lost its popularity and power supply, was not only desolate, but also full of darkness at night.
His gaze turned to the downstairs.
He could see many lights shining from his building, illuminating the dense zombies below!
Dense and numerous!
The estimated number just by visual inspection was two thousand!
One had to know that it wasn't a fog of corpses today, just a simple ordinary night!
The reason for attracting so many zombies was, of course, only one: the extremely large number of survivors here!
More than a thousand people, and this was still within the territory of Shenzhen, where the zombie density was terrifying!
The rich human scent stimulated the zombies traveling at night to surround them.
Tian Hong wasn't worried at all.
At this time, the corpse tower gathered below was only four or five meters high, only reaching the second floor of this building-style base!
Compared to their concrete pouring up to the tenth floor, it was certainly not a threat.
"Prepare the meal."
After watching the zombies below rage in vain for a while, Tian Hong withdrew his gaze and said to the woman.
The latter agreed.
He had gotten used to looking at the bloody scene outside every night before dinner, as if it would stimulate his appetite.
The current life was all brought by them.
These little cuties below.
Soon.
The woman led a few people who looked like chefs, pushing a trolley in.
One by one, the delicacies elaborately arranged on delicate dinner plates were placed on the exquisite dining table on one side of the office.
Whirr.
The woman poured Tian Hong a glass of unknown red wine, then stood quietly aside, waiting for instructions.
Then, the leader picked up his knife and fork and began to eat leisurely.
The woman next to him trembled slightly.
She was afraid.
Because.
She knew that some of the seemingly exquisite and delicious food on the table.
Used human beings as ingredients!
******
Green Source Main Base.
The laboratory building that Qin Jin built specifically for the biochemical department.
Inside one of the rooms.
Zhou Qihang, with his hair disheveled, looked like a homeless man who hadn't showered or slept in a long time, was concentrating on a drop of pink liquid under the lights in front of him.
His bloodshot eyes were full of piety, as if he were looking at a god!
"Finally found you!"
He uttered excited words from his mouth.
That's right.
After this period of tireless research, he finally found that magical substance in Lin Runwei's blood!
The aggregate of that magical substance was the drop of pink liquid separated out in front of him!
"So beautiful!"
Like looking at his most beloved lover, Old Zhou muttered fanatically.
"Next is all kinds of tests!"
"I will unlock all your secrets!"
Old Zhou grinned, revealing a pathological researcher's smile.
Inside this laboratory, there were many samples placed, for him to test and verify the effects and functions of what he had discovered.
There were white mice, rabbits, poultry and other animals.
The experimental materials were more than just these!
"Roar!"
Inside a glass-separated cage, there was even a zombie frantically charging!
