Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 937: 937: Temporarily Confidential

Chapter 937: Chapter 937: Temporarily Confidential

“I need more petals.”

Neither of them expected that the first thing Lian Ze would say would be this.

“Is it effective?”

Lu Hao asked.

Lian Ze nodded: “There’s an organic compound in it that can inhibit the zombie virus, but the material is too limited; I’ve only discovered these.”

Most importantly, because Lian Jiyue had been infected by the zombie virus, he found that the organic compound in the tiny white flower could miraculously inhibit the cell division in Lian Jiyue’s body!

So he needs more, a lot of tiny white flowers.

“It’s actually true.”

Su Jin felt this was the best news she had ever heard!

“Lian Ze! You’re simply incredible!”

Tang Xue and Chang Xuan were constantly flipping through Lian Ze’s experimental data. Though it was all handwritten drafts, both could understand it.

It must be said that Lian Ze is truly a genius with ideas.

They have likely found an inhibitor for the zombie virus!

“So, if someone is bitten by a zombie, using this flower afterward, there’s a possibility they won’t turn into zombies anymore?!”

Shi Ran asked incredulously, and for a moment, excited discussions filled the laboratory.

“This can’t be confirmed yet. With just one petal, I can only find that it temporarily inhibits the spread of zombie virus cells. Whether it can maintain inhibition with increased dosage requires additional research to confirm.”

When Lian Ze said this, he wavered slightly, and Lian Jiyue, who had been quiet, promptly stepped forward to steady him.

“Lian Ze, you’ve hardly eaten for almost two days!”

Moli said with concern, since this location was in a high-altitude area, Lian Ze’s body hadn’t been well adapted. Now, striving for a result and barely eating for two days, it’s no wonder his body was faltering.

“Cough, cough, it’s okay…”

Lian Ze said weakly.

“We will have someone bring some nutritious food later, and make sure Lian Ze rests and eats more.”

Lu Hao spoke.

Although they couldn’t provide a lot of materials right now, they at least had a target for their next step.

“Alright, thank you.”

Moli thanked them, as the food here was almost entirely provided by the Heart Talk Team.

After Lian Ze’s research results came out, Tang Xue also convened everyone for a meeting with the Heart Talk Team that lasted two hours.

“I agree with your idea, temporarily returning to S City base with you, and researching the value of the Snow Spirit Flower with more people.”

Tang Xue said excitedly.

They hadn’t been idle these few days, constantly testing the samples Su Jin and Lu Hao brought back from the peak of Mount M. It was basically confirmed that the zombie virus at the peak of Mount M was one of the origins of this zombie virus outbreak.

The reason being considered as one of the origins is that they suspected there were other origins; otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for the zombie virus to erupt globally and simultaneously just because of Mount M.

“The temperature here is dropping every day, I suggest everyone return immediately.”

Fang Zhengyang also said, worrying daily about the arrival of the apocalyptic winter.

“We can leave at any time.”

Su Jin said, but before departing, there might need to be a greeting with the practitioners in the resting area.

After the two sides discussed this matter, they decided to set off for the S City base early in the morning on the third day.

Su Jin brought out two RVs they had collected on the road earlier, one for Tang Xue and Lian Ze, and the other for Liao Yifan and Guo Yang to ride in.

Guo Yang was happy to hear the sudden news about the return journey, even spending the whole night searching through space for things, just to make Liao Yifan more comfortable on the road.

“I’m not that fragile, the RV is already very comfortable, aren’t these cushions unnecessary?”

Liao Yifan protested. Was he treating her like a baby?

“Aunt Lin says the first three months should be extra careful, don’t worry, leave these to me, nobody will say anything.”

Guo Yang affectionately rubbed Liao Yifan’s long hair that had been growing.

This was what he had dreamed of, although the reason for Liao Yifan’s long hair was simply because there was no hairdresser here.

“Alright.”

Liao Yifan blushed slightly. It must be said, when Guo Yang showed care, he was really quite manly…

The various practitioner teams in the resting area were greatly disappointed upon receiving the news that the Heart Talk Team was going back, but Su Jin promised them that she would trade with them once more before leaving.

“Everyone’s practice has almost come to an end. We also suggest everyone return as soon as possible if possible.”

Su Jin said.

“Why?”

Cui Ya questioned, puzzled.

“Our expert group predicts that winter might be approaching here, and possibly nationwide or even globally, like last time’s winter.”

Su Jin replied.

The crowd immediately started buzzing again, with discussions about the post-apocalyptic winter?

Having experienced it once, everyone knew the harshness of the post-apocalyptic winter. Even if this was just a prediction, they couldn’t afford to take that risk again.

“We understand, thank you for sharing the information.”

Ren Feiyang expressed gratitude.

…

Ever since discovering Lian Ze’s preliminary conclusions, the Heart Talk Team had been paying special attention to the Snow Spirit Flower. Su Jin divided the second germinated Snow Spirit Flower to Yin Chengtian, letting him continue to cultivate it.

“Rest assured, I will protect it well!”

Yin Chengtian cherished it, knowing the significance this plant represented.

“Take it slow.”

Su Jin encouraged.

“Isn’t it truly amazing, growing an antidote in the most severe place of the zombie virus?”

Liao Yifan said, looking at the otherwise unremarkable Snow Spirit Flower.

“You don’t understand it, do you?”

Nie Qing explained with a mysterious air:

“Actually, this aligns with the principles of mutual generation and restraint in all things from the Book of Changes, the idea that yin and yang can’t exist alone. Everything has something around it that can restrain it; there’s this saying in traditional Chinese medicine.”

“Hmm, sounds quite reasonable.”

Guo Yang nodded, half-understanding.

“I hope everyone can keep this matter confidential for now, and make a public announcement only when we have evidence.”

Lu Hao reminded.

“Relax, we understand the importance.”

Xue Wanyi said, knowing that only the Heart Talk Team and those researchers were aware of this matter.

“Xiao Hao, does this mean we also have to keep it secret when passing by those bases?”

Lin Cheng asked.

“Keep it secret.”

Lu Hao replied, as this research was jointly participated by both the B City base and the S City base, and they needed to discuss with Liang Jiuhui before making further decisions.

Su Jin took Lu Xi and Lu Wang back into the space to start cultivating the Snow Spirit Flower. Her special ability had mostly recovered by the afternoon, and with the supplement from the Man-eating Flower in H City, she could now cultivate for a few more hours.

“Mom.”

Lu Xi also stretched out a small hand, showing a faint green wood element ability.

“Does Xixi want to help?”

Su Jin asked with a smile.

“Help~ Help, help.”

Lu Xi laughed while waving her chubby little hands, wanting to make flowers like her mom~

“Then we’ll do it together, but you can only help for ten minutes, okay?”

Su Jin worried that Lu Xi, being so young, might not know how to control the depletion of her ability, so she laid down the rule.
