Chapter 215
"Biological medical doctor?"
Zhang Su's eyebrows jumped. He didn't expect this person's background to be so loud. He sighed: "There's such a badass character in Qincheng. Amazing, amazing! How is the zombie research going?"
"I'm not too clear about the research side of things. You have to talk to Fu Weijun about that... But, he's not from Qincheng."
Duan Wuhu pointed to the east: "Fu Weijun is from the capital. I heard his family conditions are extremely badass. He established a laboratory himself, specializing in marine biology topics, and has a branch in Beihe, Qincheng."
Zhang Su nodded knowingly. Sure enough, the capital produces talent. There's no way around it. You can tell from the statistical data: the more economically developed a place is, the higher the proportion of high-level talent.
Thinking about it, it wasn't right. He frowned and asked: "Beihe is more than twenty kilometers away from Qincheng. His legs are inconvenient, how did he get to Qincheng? Did the Survivor Alliance go to Beihe to search for survivors?"
The distance between the three districts of Qincheng is not short. It wouldn't have been an obstacle before, but now it's hard to say. According to Zhang Su's experience of coming out of the city, they were blocked by zombies along the way, and the survivor forces along the way could make passersby suffer.
Duan Wuhu curled his lip and said: "People have lives. I heard that he encountered a bottleneck in a research topic he was studying before. Weijun and his girlfriend came to Qincheng to watch a movie and go shopping. It was late that day, so they stayed at the Junyue Hotel. The next day, they caught up with that..."
Zhang Su knew what 'that' meant. He asked as a matter of course: "What about Fu Weijun's girlfriend?"
Duan Wuhu shook his head with a strange expression and said: "According to Weijun, he has no clue..."
Duan Wuhu took a long breath and said: "Researching zombies is normal, but if you use living people for zombie research, Brother Zhang, do you think this can be understood?"
"Why wouldn't it be tested? They strip them naked to check for wounds, stricter than a prison... Some people speculate that the girl was resentful and used a weapon stained with the zombie virus to do it. But the girl was killed, and the specific method wasn't found..."
"On the surface, the public announcement says that survivors who were bitten voluntarily participated in the experiment and gave generous rewards to the survivors' friends and family. In fact, they are binding survivors who don't obey the alliance to the experimental table, trying various ways to make them infected. Isn't this bullshit? Fu Weijun couldn't accept such terrible behavior, and I also felt it was too crazy, so we put our heads together and found an opportunity to run out!"
Zhang Su was curious about this. Honestly, in terms of the current situation, unless one really has outstanding ability, it's hard for people with inconvenient legs to get care, after all, everyone is struggling to survive.
"Then according to what you said, the Survivor Alliance is quite righteous, even saving a disabled person. They shouldn't have known his identity and ability at the beginning, right?"
"Right, why did you run out of the Survivor Alliance?"
"Then where are you planning to go with that biological doctor?"
Duan Wuhu told Zhang Su the gist of the matter, his face full of anger.
After talking for a long time, Zhang Su found that they hadn't talked about business yet.
"Pfft!" Duan Wuhu spat out of the car door: "Mad scientist, my ass. I only found out yesterday why they wanted to use living people for research!
About five days ago, a few survivors joined the alliance. There was a girl with a good figure who was targeted by the alliance leader's son, and then that happened. In the end, I don't know what happened, but she turned into a zombie, so they were desperate to find a solution!"
"The process of living people turning into zombies!?" Zhang Su asked subconsciously, suddenly reacting. That means watching people who were bitten turn into zombies?
"I heard she turned into a zombie. Fu Weijun later hid in the hotel until the Survivor Alliance people found him, and that's how he was saved." Duan Wuhu didn't know much about that part of the story. Anyway, it was impossible to ask in detail, and it was all hearsay.
"Then I don't know what happened to them at the beginning." Duan Wuhu shrugged.
Zhang Su's heart skipped a beat. He felt that the Survivor Alliance seemed to be engaged in some crooked path!
"Damn... your alliance recruits survivors so casually, without checking for wounds or anything?" Zhang Su was shocked.
"Quite tragic... then did they find a way to reverse it?" Zhang Su was full of curiosity.
Zhang Su hoped for good news, but he wasn't surprised by this answer. If it were so easy to reverse, the scale of this catastrophe might not have been so large.
"Tell me the specific situation."
"At first, the Survivor Alliance's laboratory only caught zombies for various studies. But a few days ago, when I went to the bathroom, Fu Weijun told me that the alliance leader asked them to start studying the process of living people turning into zombies, trying to find a way to reverse it!"
Zhang Su and Zheng Xinyu looked at each other after hearing this. He said: "No, is your alliance leader a mad scientist? The things he's researching are too wild!"
Duan Wuhu shook his head blankly: "I don't know either. Fu Weijun is very important to the alliance. If they know he ran away, they'll probably look for him everywhere. I'll go out of the city first to find a place to settle down, and then think about the next step. There's no clear goal. Brother Zhang, um, do you live in this village?"
Zhang Su could naturally see that Duan Wuhu wanted to join his camp. If it were back when they left Shengqin Garden, he would have agreed very readily. But two months had passed, especially two months that subverted human nature and reshaped his worldview, so some things needed to be re-evaluated.
However, he was very interested in the research of that biological doctor.
"I don't live here, but I have a safety camp in the north."
"That's great!" Duan Wuhu was very happy and excitedly patted the armrest of the sofa: "Brother Zhang, can I join your camp? Killing zombies and working are no problem, including Fu Weijun's share, I can earn it!"
Due to the Survivor Alliance's system, Duan Wuhu was used to earning all resources with ability.
"There's still room in the camp, enough for you two. However..." Zhang Su paused and said: "I need to talk to Fu Weijun for a few words first!"
"Fine, no problem! His legs are inconvenient. Brother Zhang, you can go directly to the car to find him. He's twenty-seven or twenty-eight, about the same age as you, very easygoing."
Duan Wuhu thought Zhang Su didn't trust Fu Weijun, so he hurriedly arranged for the two to meet and talk.
"Let's go!"
The two got out of the car together, opened the Jinbei's car door, and sat in. Zheng Xinyu also liked to join in the fun, and because she was worried about Zhang Su being alone, she also sat in the passenger seat of the Jinbei.
Fu Weijun, who was reading a book, was startled by the sudden movement. Seeing Duan Wuhu and a man sitting in the car, he hurriedly put down the book.
"Hello, my name is Zhang Su. I just heard your story from Teacher Duan."
Zhang Su reached out very politely. Scientific research personnel were quite rare roles now. Whether they could discover anything from this new species of zombie depended entirely on this kind of talent. As for the so-called reversal, he didn't have much hope.
"Brother Zhang, hello, long time no see."
The scholarly Fu Weijun reached out and shook hands with Zhang Su, but his words made people a bit confused.
"Long time no see... Does Dr. Fu know me?"
Zhang Su looked at Duan Wuhu. This didn't seem to have any problems, it was just a common greeting, but it seemed a bit sensitive at this moment.
Duan Wuhu also looked at Fu Weijun strangely and spread his hands. The meaning was: I didn't say anything.
Fu Weijun pushed his glasses with a faint smile: "I once heard Yu Nuo mention the name Zhang Su when chatting with others. I didn't expect to see the person one day. I'm very moved."
"Damn, that shrew Yu Nuo. Brother Zhang, don't doubt it, nothing good comes out of her mouth!" Duan Wuhu clenched his fists, which creaked.
"I want to hear what Yu Nuo said about me. I don't know if Dr. Fu remembers?"
Zhang Su asked playfully. It was interesting to learn about himself through others' eyes.
"This..." Fu Weijun showed a slightly embarrassed expression: "She just said that she met you when she left Shengqin International. She didn't say anything else. A few women were chatting and idling together. I just happened to pass by and didn't listen carefully."
From Fu Weijun's expression, Zhang Su could see clues. It was indeed as Duan Wuhu said, Yu Nuo didn't say anything good about him, which was normal.
"Forget her. Dr. Fu, I want to understand your research on zombies and what achievements you have."
"Hmm..." Fu Weijun looked at Duan Wuhu. Clearly, dealing with people wasn't his strong suit.
"Speak, it's fine. We still have to join Brother Zhang's camp. He's a warlord now, haha!" Duan Wuhu joked.
Zhang Su smiled helplessly and waved his hands: "Not that exaggerated, just a few guns."
"Cough. Due to limited conditions, the research progress is very slow, but I have mastered some very key aspects. First, I think we need to redefine this matter of turning into a zombie, because in my research, I found that turning into a zombie is not caused by a virus, at least not the kind of virus we recognize."
"What the hell?"
The first sentence shocked Zhang Su and the others.
Duan Wuhu didn't know about this either. The content of his chats with Fu Weijun was mostly idle talk, and at most some secrets of the Survivor Alliance. Hearing such explosive news, he stared at Fu Weijun with wide eyes.
"It seems that you are all very skeptical about this. That's right, I also felt unbelievable at the time, but after some verification, I found it was indeed the case."
Fu Weijun spread his hands and made an expression that it was just like that.
