Respect The Strong (35)
“You guys ran into those two zombies? Then how did you escape unharmed?” A researcher asked suspiciously.
Xiao Ai snorted lightly, “Just those two alone aren’t capable of hurting us. The human population is already small and it’s hard enough to survive as it is, but you’re still researching blindly to strengthen those monsters. Aren’t you guys quite noble? If you’re so free, why don’t you study how to destroy them?”
The researchers looked at each other, and finally spat out, “That’s not in our field of research. We’re specialized in genetic optimization. Besides, we can’t hold on any longer ……”
These people look like they don’t have much combat power, so staying here would be to wait for their deaths. They were either persistent or stupid to continue the research to pass the remaining time, and somehow ended up strengthening two level 5 zombies.
Xiao Ai said with a cold face, “Luckily they bumped into our squad, otherwise your two level 5 zombies would have killed god knows how many people, then you would have sinned.”
Xiao Ai looked around. The complete research equipment made her eyes shine, “Ms. Xiang, am I dreaming? This is too good to be true, right?”
“You’re not dreaming.” Chu Xiang smiled and came over to take her by the shoulders and said to the researchers, “Now, there is a good place to take you to. You can assist Xiao Ai to research the method of eliminating zombies in peace. How about it? Are you coming?”
Some of the researchers were willing, but some were hesitant.
“These equipment are not that easy to move. If there is an accident on the way, then it will be difficult to repair or reassemble them. How can we go to another place to study?”
“You do not have to worry about this.” With a wave of Chu Xiang’s hand, several large instruments disappeared before their eyes.
They had never seen such a thing as “inventory space” before, and their eyes and mouths were wide open in shock.
“How did this happen?”
“Are the people outside all so powerful now?”
“Is this also a kind of genetic optimization?”
Everyone immediately swarmed around Chu Xiang and questioned her. Xiao Ai said proudly, “Of course not, our captain’s skills can’t be learned by others. You don’t need to think about this. First, research the method of eliminating zombies. Or maybe you can start by studying how not to get infected by the zombie virus and save the lives of ordinary people. How about that? Now you can come with us, right? There are too few researchers, so we can’t be missing any one. Let’s work together to research the antidote for this world, okay?”
“Yes!!!” The researchers never lacked curiosity. Chu Xiang’s skill had evoked their strong desire to explore this world, . They must not die here as they still have many, many things to learn.
These researchers are very enthusiastic about the research. It was the only thing in their mind. After they agreed, they immediately scattered to organize and pack up everything in the whole institute, and placed it neatly to ask Chu Xiang to put it into her inventory space. No matter how many times they watch it, they still marvel when the things disappear.
Chu Xiang had also worked as a researcher, so she understood their mentality very well. This was why she suddenly decided to send them to the base. Sometimes, these adorable ones were the people who’d make great contribution.
When Xiao Jin and the others came looking for them after killing the two zombies, they saw an empty institute and a group of “well-behaved” researchers. These researchers were completely convinced by Xiao Ai’s intelligence after chatting with her for a while. They were willing to follow her wherever she went to do research.
To some extent, every field hailed the genius. These genius were always highly admired, and Xiao Cheng could not help but smile proudly as he saw Xiao Ai stand out in the crowd.
Chu Xiang took out a car from space that could accommodate more than a dozen people and let Xiao Cheng drive. Xiao Ai followed them so that she could talk to the researchers about her research ideas all the way.
They returned to the base in two cars. Along the way, they encountered many more high-level zombies and enemies. Their team’s success made the researchers feel more reassured and confident about the future.
Hope Base had been expanding since they annexed Aurora Base, and Chu Xiang and the others had also left for several months. Now, Hope Base had expanded to twice its size before, so they had extra space that could be used as research center.
Zhou Zhen warmly welcomed their return and also valued the researchers. He personally helped to arrange everything.
When Zhou Yuxin saw the gray hair at Zhou Zhen’s temples, she suddenly felt saddened, “Dad, are you especially tired? It’s hard to manage such a big base in such a world, isn’t it?”
Zhou Zhen stroked her head with gratification, “Someone has to do these things. You have grown up and know how to care for your father now.”
Zhou Yuxin smiled and said, “Yes, I have grown up. Dad, let me help you in the future.”
Zhou Zhen was very surprised, “You? You don’t want to go out and explore with Chu Xiang and the others anymore?”
Zhou Yuxin winked mischievously, “How about I recruit them as helpers to manage the base together? Exploration is one thing, but this place can be the home base.”
