Like the zombies, the human brain had a nucleus, it could provide the energy required for cultivation, but for some reason, the energy of a human nuclei was not as pure as a zombie's, absorbing one could detonate the body. So, unless it's necessary, no one will snatch the nucleus of another human.
But a King level nucleus was different, even if the energy was impure, there was enough energy in there to support a whole legion of Warriors, and perhaps it's also possible to create another King.
The top brass of B-Base received the news and stirred in a greedy commotion.
But how could Zhou Yun Sheng not consider this? He'd already used 007 to hack into the medical equipment and tamper with his brain's CT scan results. When the top brass hurried in, they saw the sighing medical staff.
"Chief, Dr. Bai's crystal nucleus has been shattered, look." The doctor pointed to a mist of shadows within the skull and said.
"Shattered?" The top brass were disappointed.
After the crystal nucleus shatters it will naturally be absorbed by the human body, rendering the Warrior an ordinary person without the slightest ability. Even if they dug Dr. Bai's brain now, they'll only get a pile of waste, the huge amount of energy from before had been scattered into the air.
"You must try your best to cure Dr. Bai, he is our base and even mankind's hope." They said some high-sounding words then turned to leave. Pretending to be unconscious, Zhou Yun Sheng leisurely woke up after they left.
His eyesight blurred, like he was looking through a layer of mist, there was a feeling of distortion. Zhou Yun Sheng waved his palm in front of his face to determine when 007 would heal his myopia. Abilities could improve the constitution, but to achieve a degree of rebirth, they needed to be level 6 or more. Dr. Bai was level 5, so his myopia couldn't be improved, he usually wore a pair of thick glasses.
Zhou Yun Sheng's vision returned to normal after a while. Although his nucleus hadn't shattered, there was a lot of cracks, repairing it will take a lot of time and energy. But the world's consciousness was confronting him every second, he didn't even have the ability to protect himself, where would he find such leisure time to repair it?
So the vaccine must be developed as soon as possible, otherwise, his soul power would run dry. Thinking of this, he hurried back to the institute in spite of the doctor's discouragement.
The damage caused by the energy collision had been repaired by some Warriors, and the new technician was cleaning Lei Chuan's body. Because of his almost self-destruct, his body was almost broken, even if the Healing Warriors repaired him constantly, he still had a lot of internal bleeding.
"Doctor, why are you here? Is your body okay?" The Guard Captain was staring at Lei Chuan when he heard footsteps and looked back, he revealed a surprised expression.
"There's nothing wrong with my body." Zhou Yun Sheng said while putting on his glasses and white coat. He went to Lei Chuan's side and drew a few milliliters of blood from his carotid artery. In Bai Mo Han's memory, Lei Chuan's blood was the key to conquering the zombie virus, his white blood cells had a very strong phagocytosis, it could even swallow the zombie virus whole.
If he could break the molecular formula of his cells' mutation, humanity could be saved.
Zhou Yun Sheng did not have much time, he was carrying the fate of the whole world on his shoulder, even if he'd never conducted medical research before he had to bite the bullet. Fortunately, he had all of Dr. Bai's memories, and he also had his own high IQ and 007 as assistance, he just needed to spend a little time to organize himself then he could continue his research.
He put the blood into the cell segregation instrument and sat down. He opened Dr. Bai's computer and quickly browsed his research data. The situation wasn't as bad as he'd imagined, Dr. Bai had already come up with the correct combination of formula, and now the only thing left to do was wait for the computer to calculate the results.
There were countless combinations of serum protein molecules, finding out the correct combination was no different than searching for a needle in a haystack. Even if Dr. Bai developed the formula, the computer would take several years or even decades to produce the correct result. Fortunately, Zhou Yun Sheng was a hacker, his brain's computing power was as good as this era's most advanced computer, and with 007's help, six months should suffice.
After reading all the data, he relaxed a little.
He didn't know that in a fourth dimension, Lei Chuan was punching at his face. His masculine and handsome face was completely distorted by resentment, he didn't look human, but like a crazy beast. From the moment he saw Dr. Bai's arrival, he'd reflexively raised his hand to rain lightning on him, but found that his ghost form had no power, so he could only use this way to vent.
"You animal!" He spat on Dr. Bai's face, his bloodshot eyes filled with enough hatred to destroy the world. If there was an afterlife, he would definitely let all the Institute people go to hell.
Zhou Yun Sheng suddenly felt a cold breeze on his face, he couldn't help but touch it.
At that moment, a female researcher pushed a freezer in and asked, "Doctor, the vaccine has been cultivated, do you want to try it?"
This vaccine was developed by Bai Mo Han according to his own calculations, it might be successful, but it might fail. Before it's cultivated, Lei Chuan had self-destructed and blown away the Institute, so he didn't know if it worked. If it's effective, Zhou Yun Sheng could immediately exit this dead world.
"Go to the safety lab." He locked the computer and hurried out the door.
Lei Chuan tried to follow them and was surprised to find that the energy barrier that had prevented him from leaving was gone. As long as he stayed within a 10 meter range of Bai he could move freely. Bai Mo Han seemed to have chained him to himself, this thought caused his hatred to grow deeper. He was at the mercy of this man when he was flesh and blood, and now even his soul was trapped. God, why do you have to torture good men? Why not just let them die peacefully?
If this was his return for selflessly helping people, then he would rather become a cold-blooded, ruthless man.
They arrived at the safety lab. A meteorite refined tempered glass isolated 10 square meters of space, the space detained a human being facing mutation from the zombie virus infection. His eyelids were green, his complexion was pale and he drooled thick yellow saliva. If you ignored the trace clarity emitting from his pupils, he looked exactly like a zombie.
"How long has it been from infection?" Zhou Yun Sheng pushed the glasses frame up the bridge of his nose.
"He's been infected for four hours, it's estimated that he can hold on for two more hours." A technician looked down at the record.
"Give him an injection." Zhou Yun Sheng waved. Immediately an Ice Warrior removed the vaccine from the freezer, wrapped his body in a thick layer of ice and entered to give the man the injection, then he immediately exited.
The man constantly kept swallowing, as if he was hungry, after a few minutes his skin began to crack, black and red blood gushed out, sprinkling onto the floor. He wailed, screamed, and kept tearing at himself. After a few minutes, his screams finally stopped, only leaving behind a puddle of black-red rotting flesh.
The tragic death made everyone shudder. Some people even wondered: Is this really an anti-zombie virus vaccine? Something that's more frightening than the zombie virus? What is Dr. Bai researching?
They glanced at Dr. Bai's face with suspicious eyes.
Lei Chuan aimed at the man's face and fiercely punched and cursed, "You animal, you will face retribution!"
The former Bai Mo Han didn't care what other people thought of him, but Zhou Yun Sheng couldn't ignore it. His power was being used to fight the world's consciousness, he had no power to spare for self-protection. If the people around him doubted, more people like Guo Zerui who wanted to kill him for justice would attack, then his task would come to naught and his soul force would've been wasted in vain.
He had to make sure that the people around him were faithful to him, so some brainwashing was necessary.
He looked into the Guard Captain's eyes and asked "Do you think I'm cruel?"
The Guard Captain was silent. He had never felt that Dr. Bai was a good man, and if the Chief hadn't assigned him here, he absolutely wouldn't want to stay at his side. He even regretted today's assassination failure.
Zhou Yun Sheng didn't need his answer, he pushed up his glasses and continued, "Do you remember how the earth was like before? Remember the aroma of fresh food? Remember the clear waters and blue sky? Remember the carefree smiles of children? Everything I've done is to get back all the good things we've lost. This life before you, and the hundreds of millions of living beings still on earth, which is more important?"
The Guard Captain opened his mouth but didn't speak in the end. But everyone knew his answer.
Zhou Yun Sheng turned around to leave and slowly said, "In exchange for a few lives, hundreds of millions will live, in my opinion, it's worth it. I believe I'm walking on the right path, and I'll bear whatever price it costs. Many years later, when the flowers become fragrant, the sky becomes blue, the rivers become clear, and mankind becomes healthy….my exploits will be remembered by the future generations."
His footsteps were very regular, he stepped calmly on the smooth floor, issuing a distinct thumping sound. The sound was so steady, so assured, as if he really were walking on the path of truth and hope. At that moment, his thin back unexpectedly appeared tall and strong.
The Guard Captain was stunned for a long time before he asked, "Doctor, you really can develop a vaccine?"
Zhou Yun Sheng waved, his tone still had its usual insipidness, "You should choose to believe me, because I firmly believe in myself."
If someone didn't have a lot of perseverance, they simply couldn't practice enough to become a King level. Dr. Bai was really strong, both physically and mentally. If he said he could do it, then it must be true.
The Guard Captain let out a puff of air, and watched the retreating back with a relaxed smile. The technicians' eyes burned in flames of struggle, they wanted to believe.
Lei Chuan no longer hit the man's head, he just silently followed him. After a few minutes, his handsome face again distorted in resentment, he sneered, "You almost had me fooled you animal. Don't cover your perverted desires with such a great excuse! Your research will only kill off the human race faster, you're an outright anti-humanity madman! "
