In the end, Daiyu, Hu Xiaoguo and a few timid girls stayed.
But Liu Yining, who had always been timid in the past, insisted on going to the laboratory.
"There is a special rest room on the first floor of the experimental building. Why not let these girls go there to have a rest."
Yuan Shaohua suggested.
Hu Xingguo also said.
"Yes, there are also some tea and desserts there, which the little girl's family should like."
When Hu Xiaoguo heard that there was something delicious, his eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
Daiyu is not as greedy as Hu Xiaoguo, but as long as she is not allowed to see any zombie monsters, of course anything will do.
After Zhang Fan settled the people, he gave Daiyu instructions.
"If anything happens, contact me immediately!"
Daiyu nodded.
Zhang Fancai followed Hu Xingguo and others upstairs.
When you get to the second floor, you need fingerprint verification to enter.
Yuan Shaohua placed his right hand on the door identifier, and the thick glass door was slowly opened!
Unlike the quiet first floor, the moment the glass door opened, Zhang Fan had already heard all kinds of weird sounds!
Although Liu Yining said she was very interested and wanted to follow, she was actually still a little scared inside.
His body trembled slightly, and he unconsciously moved closer to Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan noticed Liu Yining's fear and naturally took Liu Yining's hand.
Liu Yining stiffened, as if she didn't expect it.
Soon, those horrifying sounds gradually faded away in Liu Yining's ears, and in the end, only the "thumping" sound of her own heart was left.
Liu Yining's little hands were a little cold, but her face was hot.
Even the tips of the ears were slightly red.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Zhang Fan said softly and led Liu Yining forward.
Liu Yining was no longer afraid the moment Zhang Fan held her hand.
Not only was she not afraid, she was even in a trance, not knowing where she was...
"Don't be afraid."
Yuan Shaohua said with a smile.
"Although the sound is a bit scary, these monsters are actually well controlled."
Zhang Fan smiled and said nothing. When he looked on both sides of the corridor, he found that there were many people wearing full-body isolation suits and busy in every room.
Hu Xingguo and Yuan Shaohua first took a few people to the locker room.
Yuan Shaohua introduced.
"Although there is currently almost no risk of infecting people, for safety reasons, you should put on your isolation gown before entering the laboratory."
Zhang Fan naturally wouldn't shirk it, so everyone put on isolation gowns again.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Yuan Shaohua led Zhang Fan and others to the entrance of a large laboratory.
When he reached the door, Hu Xingguo stopped again and lowered his voice.
"Lord Barbarian King, although everyone in the laboratory is considered to be Professor Yuan's, your identity may be revealed. We'll just call you by your first name later. I hope you don't mind."
Zhang Fan smiled indifferently.
"No problem, it's not a big deal."
After the agreement was reached, Yuan Shaohua raised his hand and opened another door in the laboratory that required identity verification.
Hu Xingguo and Yuan Shaohua entered the laboratory.
Everyone who was busy stopped what they were doing one by one and nodded to greet the two.
"Hello, Captain! Hello, Professor Yuan!"
Hu Xingguo raised his hand and said, "It's okay, you all can go and do your own business!"
Everyone dispersed again.
Yuan Shaohua began to take Zhang Fan from observation room to observation room.
In the first glass room, what Zhang Fan saw was a giant insect as tall as a person!
There are several staff members in the glass room, using weapons to cut the giant insect in two!
Although Liu Yining was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help feeling sick after seeing the giant insect broken into two pieces!
The insect split into two but did not die immediately.
The staff in the glass room quickly picked up the container and collected the thick white juice flowing out of the insect's fracture.
Yuan Shaohua was quite proud and pointed inside.
"This giant bug is the only one I have successfully cultivated among many bugs. After countless experiments, I have discovered the value of this bug."
Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows.
Yuan Shaohua continued, "Look carefully!"
Zhang Fan looked again and found that the two parts of the insect that had been broken were reunited at an extremely slow speed.
Zhang Fan looked carefully and discovered that the broken part of the insect body was originally flowing with a thick white liquid, which was in the shape of a thread, constantly pulling the two parts of the body back together!
And the staff inside are collecting this white juice!
"What is this white thing?"
Zhang Fan asked.
Yuan Shaohua smiled.
"This is a really good thing. It has miraculous effects on repairing broken limbs and healing wounds!"
Zhang Fan noticed that in just a short while, the two people inside had collected a dozen bottles of this juice.
Yuan Shaohua spoke again at this time.
"Brother Zhang Fan, do you think we can get such things too easily?"
Zhang Fan smiled and said nothing, waiting for Yuan Shaohua to continue.
Sure enough, Yuan Shaohua explained again.
"Actually, it was just a coincidence for you. Today is the right time to get the giant worm liquid!"
Zhang Fan asked, "What?"
Yuan Shaohua explains.
"Although the speed at which this giant insect repairs itself is visible to the naked eye, it can usually completely repair itself in one or two hours. However, the repair fluid in its body cannot be secreted all the time!"
"We did a lot of experiments and sacrificed a lot of worms before we finally came up with the optimal plan. That is to collect the original solution every two days! If the frequency is higher than this, the worms can't stand it, and they will
No excess repair fluid can be secreted.”
"The obtained raw liquid must be extracted and reprocessed before it can be converted into substances that the human body can absorb and utilize."
As he spoke, he reached out with his hand and took out a bottle of pills.
"The last thing I got is this! New insect pills!"
Yuan Shaohua opened the lid of the medicine bottle and poured out a pill.
Zhang Fan was surprised to find that this pill actually exuded a milky fragrance! In addition, the pill was milky white and looked like a delicious milk candy!
Yuan Shaohua said again.
"The original solution taken each time can actually only make two pills. Of course, the milk smell you smell is specially prepared by us later."
Zhang Fan smiled and praised.
“Professor Yuan is so ingenious!”
Yuan Shaohua said with a smile.
"Although we, Arknights, are one of the five major forces, we still have a large number of people, especially ordinary survivors. Therefore, even though Captain Hu has tried his best to support us, the funds that can be used for research are still insufficient..."
Yuan Shaohua couldn't help but sigh as he spoke. He looked at Zhang Fandao intentionally.
"But if more funds and manpower can be invested in experiments, I believe that experiments can create huge value for the team!"
Zhang Fan smiled and nodded.
"Of course!"
Then he said again.
"To be honest, we do have shortcomings in this aspect, mainly in high-level talents like Professor Yuan. If the two parties cooperate in the future, Professor Yuan will definitely be able to do something else!"
Hu Xingguo and Yuan Shaohua looked at each other, smiled and nodded.
Next, the two took Zhang Fan to see other laboratories one by one.
Without exception, they are all animal experiments.
Indeed, as Yuan Shaohua said before, although there are no major discoveries, there are some small results.
Most of them are medicinal materials with various effects that have been developed.
And these medicinal materials can be sold on the market!
Zhang Fan had a basic understanding of Yuan Shaohua's experiment.
At this time, Hu Xingguo and Yuan Shaohua took Zhang Fan and others to an observation room again.
This place is obviously different from other rooms.
The glass is all double-thickened.
Yuan Shaohua spoke again at this time, and his expression was obviously different from before!
"Zhang Fan, in fact, the reason why I insist on bringing you here this time is not to show you the results just now. The most important thing is to let you see this..."
Zhang Fan was suspicious and looked into the observation room. The chickens, insects, sheep, and mice he saw in other rooms were different!
What Zhang Fan saw inside was a living person sitting with his back to them!
Zhang Fan opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Did they actually use people for experiments? Zhang Fan couldn't accept it for a moment! He asked angrily.
"Captain Hu! Professor Yuan! What's going on with you?"
Professor Yuan said nothing, but knocked on the glass with a sad expression.
When the people inside heard the noise, they suddenly turned around and rushed towards where Zhang Fan and others were at a very fast speed!
The speed was so fast that even Zhang Fan was startled by the strange face that was suddenly magnified on the glass in front of him!
Liu Yining screamed and threw herself into Zhang Fan's arms.
Zhang Fan frowned tightly and looked at the face on the glass...
That's not really a human face!
It's more like the face of some kind of beast crawling out of hell!
Two broken corners protrude from the forehead hidden by the messy hair!
The brow bones are also high and protruding, but the eye sockets are deeply sunken.
As for those scarlet eyes, Zhang Fan could tell that they were not human eyes! They were goat-like eyes with horizontal pupils!
There is almost no nose visible on the entire face, the corners of the mouth are cleft directly to the ears, and the fangs are exposed!
It makes people tremble when they see it!
The humanoid monster roared at the glass! It was like a roar coming from the soul!
Zhang Fan held the frightened Liu Yining in his arms, frowning, and looked at the monster in the room!
The monster kept slapping its hands on the glass!
One! Two! Three!
Until Zhang Fan even saw the bloody marks on his hands!
Zhang Fan turned to look at Professor Yuan and asked word by word!
"Professor Yuan! What on earth is going on!!!"
Professor Yuan looked at the monster in the glass room with pain on his face! Tears actually slipped from the corners of his eyes!
He did not answer Zhang Fan's question, but slowly raised his hand, placed it on the spot where the glass room monster's hands were, closed his eyes, and let the old man burst into tears!
Hu Xingguo sighed and patted Yuan Shaohua on the shoulder.
Then he turned to Zhang Fan and said.
"Don't get me wrong, we didn't use human bodies for experiments. In fact, the children locked inside are Professor Yuan's children..."
Zhang Fan looked at the monster roaring in pain in the glass room, and then looked at Yuan Shaohua outside the glass room crying in pain...
The monster inside...
It’s actually his child?!
Zhang Fan was so shocked that he didn't know what to say...
Just murmured...
"how come……"
In fact, Zhang Fan has never seen humans attacked by zombies.
Without special medical treatment, without exception, people who have been injured or bitten by zombies will eventually turn into zombies!
The body rots and stinks! Even the blood turns green!
Obviously, the monster in the glass room is not a zombie!
Except for having a monster face, it is just like an ordinary person!
Even the blood that flows out after injury is normal red blood!
Hu Xingguo sighed deeply.
"That child, originally, was a very outstanding superpower..."
"But before he could grow up, he encountered a monster we had never seen before..."
"Finally, our people rescued him when he was still breathing."
"Professor Yuan spent all his life energy to barely save his life. He never thought that as time went by, the child gradually changed. In the end, he had no choice but to lock him in here..."
Hu Xingguo was probably afraid of arousing Yuan Shaohua's sadness again, so he only briefly explained the matter to Zhang Fan and others.
Zhang Fan is very puzzled!
I have only heard that zombie viruses can infect people. If the monster Hu Xingguo just mentioned is a mutant beast, theoretically, people who have been injured and bitten by mutant beasts will not be infected and mutated!
"Isn't it true that what Professor Yuan's child encountered was a mutant beast?"
Zhang Fan asked.
Hu Xingguo shook his head.
"Everyone who came back said it was a monster they had never seen before!"
After a pause, he said again.
"It is said that... it is more like a combination of giant zombies and mutant beasts..."
Zhang Fan was even more surprised!
Zombies and mutated beasts can be said to live in separate territories!
They can’t coexist with each other!
How can there be such a thing as a combination of giant zombies and mutant beasts?!!
After Hu Xingguo finished speaking, he shook his head.
"Of course, the people who rushed to the rescue only saw a vague figure, so we have never announced this information to the outside world."
"But the fact that Professor Yuan's son was infected is absolutely true! You must also know that only zombie viruses can infect people. Even if mutant beasts hurt people, they will not be infected!"
Zhang Fan nodded, of course he knew!
But looking at the furious people in the glass room, he still felt shocked!
As if he couldn't hear the conversation, Yuan Shaohua put his hand outside the glass and gently touched the fingerprints of the monster inside.
The monster gradually became quiet, then slowly turned around, dragged its exhausted pace, walked to the very beginning, and sat down with its back to everyone.
That back figure looks extremely lonely...
Liu Yining didn't know when she had let go of Zhang Fan. She stared at the somewhat depressed figure in the glass room. She didn't know why, but infinite sadness filled her heart...
It was as if... she just for a moment... had an emotional connection... with the figure in the glass room...
Yuan Shaohua wiped away the tears on his face and smiled bitterly.
"Sorry for making everyone laugh!"
Then he looked at Zhang Fan.
"Lord Barbarian King, the main purpose of bringing you here is to see your true reaction!"
"The reason why I am so obsessed with doing biological experiments is not because I want to make great contributions to mankind!"
