I failed again

"Although the information is incomplete, it is already very useful to us." Feng Linxi said, "At least we know that there is a high-level zombie lurking in the base, so we don't have to be kept in the dark any longer."

"Knowing it is one thing, but incomplete information is another." Tang Yuxuan said, "There are so many people in the base. It is time-consuming and laborious to check them one by one. If we are not careful, we may easily alert the enemy."

Tang Yuxuan was a little annoyed at this time. Why didn't he ask who that person was when he was dealing with the zombies?

Killing zombies doesn’t interfere with chatting.

He didn't even ask. Now, he only got half of the information. Tang Yuxuan was so angry that his teeth were itching.

Bai Ci didn't say anything. He was still thinking about what reason he could use to tell everyone he knew.

Now that Chu Yunze is not here, it is a good opportunity to talk. If I miss it, I don’t know when the next time will be.

Bai Ci finally thought of a reason that made sense. Just as he was about to speak, he heard 965 in his mind say, "Host, Xiao Ran is here."

Bai Ci silently closed his mouth as he was about to speak.

"dong dong dong"

Hearing the knock on the door, Feng Linxi and the other two shut up.

It’s better not to let others know that there are zombies in the base for now, as it may cause panic.

"Please come in." Feng Linxi said.

The next moment, the door was pushed open from the outside and Xiao Ran walked in.

Xiao Ran looked at Tang Yuxuan, who was covered in blood, and said in surprise, "He lost so much blood, and was bitten by a zombie? He didn't turn into a zombie yet? It's a miracle. He is a good candidate for the research institute."

Feng Linxi and the other two: ………………

"It's the blood of zombies." Tang Yuxuan explained speechlessly as he looked at Xiao Ran's eager eyes, which seemed to show him ready to capture him and take him to the research institute for Liang Rui to study.

"Well, I thought the institute would have one more research subject." Xiao Ran said.

"What are you doing here?" Tang Yuxuan asked, "Don't you usually stay in the institute and don't come out unless there is a mission? Why are you coming out today?"

"Obviously, there is another mission." Xiao Ran said with a smile.

Feng Linxi and the other two were silent.

I just went on a mission yesterday, and not only did I capture a level seven zombie, but I also encountered a zombie tide; tonight I experienced another zombie tide.

Before they even have time to rest, you tell them there’s another mission?

After a long while, Tang Yuxuan spoke first, "I have exhausted my superpowers today, and it will take at least three days to recover. The fourth team also suffered heavy losses today, and they need some time to recover."

What this means is that he and the Fourth Team will not be able to go out on missions in the short term.

"So, I'm here to bring you warmth." Xiao Ran said, taking out a potion and handing it to Tang Yuxuan.

Tang Yuxuan reached out to take it, with some confusion in his eyes, and asked, "What is this?"

"Power recovery agent." Xiao Ran explained, "Liang Rui's latest research result, after drinking it, can restore people with exhausted power to their peak state in a short period of time."

"Is it true?" Feng Linxi asked in disbelief.

If this is true, then when they go out on missions in the future and encounter zombie sieges, they won't have to worry about running out of superpowers!

"You'll know if you try it," Xiao Ran said.

Under the gazes of Feng Linxi and Bai Ci, Tang Yuxuan drank the potion in his hand.

Feeling the supernatural power filling up his body, Tang Yuxuan nodded towards Feng Linxi and said, "It's true."

"Of course it's real." Xiao Ran said, "How can something from the research institute be fake?"

"How many are there in the Pharmaceutical Research Institute?" Feng Linxi looked at Xiao Ran and asked.

"No more." Xiao Ran said, "There are only two medicines in total, one for the experiment, and one just given to Yuxuan."

Hearing this, Feng Linxi was not too disappointed and only asked, "How long will it take to achieve mass production?"

"At least one month." Xiao Ran said according to Liang Rui's estimation.

"One month..." Feng Linxi pondered. He knew that this was indeed the fastest speed at the research institute, but it still felt like a long time.

"Well, let's produce a batch first and give priority to the first four teams." Feng Linxi said, "How many days will it take?"

"If we follow the original number of people in the four teams, it will take at least seven days." Xiao Ran said.

"There are currently seven people in the first team, six people in the second team, and eight people in the third team." Feng Linxi said in a heavy tone.

Yesterday's zombie tide wiped out almost half of the three teams. Now, except for a few of them, the others who survived are basically level-four psychics.

As for the fourth team...

Feng Linxi looked at Tang Yuxuan. The fourth team suffered the least casualties yesterday, which was why they still had enough energy to go out on the mission today.

However, after the recent zombie wave, there probably aren't many people left in the fourth team.

Feng Linxi felt heavy in his heart when he thought of the members of the Fourth Team who had just been helped into the base.

In just three days, the strongest teams in their base lost half of their people. This was unprecedented.

Feng Linxi has begun to worry about how the base will survive the next zombie wave.

"...There are five people left in the fourth team." Tang Yuxuan felt his eyes a little sore, and the sadness in his heart was like a stone pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

When they heard that there were only five people left in the fourth team, Feng Linxi and the other two lowered their heads. Uncontrollable sadness swept through their hearts like a cold wind.

"...three days." Xiao Ran said.

"Okay." Feng Linxi nodded, and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked something else, "What was the mission you just mentioned?"

"Liang Rui wants us to capture another level seven zombie." Xiao Ran said.

"Why?" Tang Yuxuan asked, "Didn't we catch one yesterday? Isn't one enough for research?"

Tang Yuxuan's tone was a little aggressive. After all, they had spent a lot of effort to capture a level seven zombie yesterday, and they also encountered a zombie tide as a result.

As a result, only one day had passed and they had barely had a good rest when they were asked to capture another level seven zombie.

It’s not that Tang Yuxuan didn’t want to, but he didn’t understand. It’s only been a day, and the zombies they just captured probably haven’t been figured out yet, and now they want them to capture another one?

He didn't understand why Liang Rui did this.

Feng Linxi patted Tang Yuxuan on the shoulder, signaling him not to get too excited, then turned to look at Xiao Ran and asked, "Did Academician Liang say why we need to capture another level 7 zombie?"

Liang Rui is not the kind of person who would leave the captured zombies alone and not study them, but would insist that they catch another one for him to study.

Feng Linxi believed that Liang Rui had his reasons for doing this.

And Feng Linxi also wanted to know what the reason was.

"After I brought the zombie back to the institute last night, Liang Rui spent almost the entire night dissecting the zombie for research." Xiao Ran explained, "After careful study, he found that this level 7 zombie was no different from a primary zombie except for its higher level. It was not even as good as a mid-level zombie."

"He feels that's not right. According to previous speculation, even if a high-level zombie doesn't have much consciousness, it should at least be at a mid-level or higher. It's impossible for it to be inferior to a mid-level zombie."

"So, he asked us to capture another level 7 zombie so that he could study it again. He wanted to see if this zombie was an isolated case or if all high-level zombies were like this."

After listening to Xiao Ran's explanation, Feng Linxi and the other two looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.

According to Han Dan's information, the consciousness of high-level zombies is no different from that of humans. How could they be inferior to that of a low-level zombie?

No wonder Liang Rui asked them to capture a level seven zombie for research. Not to mention Liang Rui, even they didn't believe the results of this research.

"Liang Rui has made many guesses about the situation of the zombie, but we still need to catch another level seven zombie for research before we can draw a conclusion." Xiao Ran said.

In fact, Liang Rui wanted them to capture a few more for research, but remembering that the strongest psychic in their base was only level six, they had no choice but to give up this idea. As a second choice, they asked them to capture a level seven zombie.

Of course, he wouldn't mind if they had the energy to catch a few more.

After all, no one would complain about having too much research material.

After Xiao Ran told Liang Rui about his thoughts, Feng Linxi and the other two fell silent.
