Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1981 Great progress in zombie vaccine!
Big camphor tree base.

The second outer city.

Zombie Research Institute.

After Li Yu returned to the headquarters of the Dazhangshu base, he came here as soon as possible.

The development of the zombie vaccine is of vital importance, as it affects the future development plans of the big camphor tree forces and even the entire doomsday situation.

He hurried into the Zombie Research Institute.

As soon as he came in, he ran into Du Ruchen, and Li Yu asked:

"Xiao Du, where are Minister Bai and Director Ma?"

Du Ruchen was a little surprised by Li Yu's sudden appearance, but he quickly replied:

"They are in the lab on the first basement level."

"Yeah." Li Yu nodded, and walked towards the basement without paying any attention to Du Ruchen.

Du Ruchen watched the city lord leave, thinking to himself: Didn't they say that the city lord is still in Oil City? The city lord is really elusive.

Basement level, laboratory.

Li Yu came here after passing through two fingerprint doors.

In the laboratory, a dozen scientific researchers in white sterile suits were busy working.

Li Yu pushed open the door and walked in.

Madi, who was arguing with Zhao Ke, was the first to notice Li Yu coming in.

"City Lord."

"The city lord is here."

The researchers in the laboratory all noticed Li Yu coming in, and immediately stopped their work and walked towards Li Yu.

"City Lord, you are back."

"Hello, mayor."

Li Yu nodded at them and asked:

"How is the zombie vaccine research going?"

Bai Jie's eyes flickered, and after a moment of silence, she said:

"Vaccine development is not as simple as we thought, and it will probably take some time. But after we got the meteorite, we found that researching the antidote would be much simpler, so we started testing the zombie antidote first."

“We have now conducted animal tests. If rabbits and mice bitten by zombies are injected with the antidote within six hours, there is a greater than 80 percent chance that they will not mutate into zombies.

We are currently improving the success rate and conducting human tests. Once the human tests are successful, I think we can start mass production.”

"Antidote?" Li Yu frowned when he heard this: "What's the difference between an antidote and a vaccine?"

Bai Jie felt relieved when she heard that Li Yu did not blame them for the problems with the vaccine progress.

After all, their research institute had vowed in front of Li Yu that as long as they could get the meteorite from outer space, they would be able to develop a zombie vaccine quickly.

But the zombie vaccine has not been developed yet, and they encountered some technical problems.

Bai Jie explained:
"The antidote is that if you inject the antidote within six hours after being bitten by a zombie, it can kill the virus in the victim's body, and there is a certain probability that the victim will be restored to human form."

"After research, we found that after a person is bitten by a zombie, the zombie virus does not cause organ tissues to mutate, but only cells to mutate. It takes six hours for the zombie virus to infect each cell in the body and mutate."

"So, the injection will only be effective if it is given within six hours after being bitten, otherwise it will be ineffective."

"As for the vaccine, it is a drug that is injected before being bitten by zombies. It can make humans immune to the virus. After being injected with the vaccine, you don't have to worry about being bitten by zombies. Even if you are bitten, you will not turn into a zombie."

"But at present, the development of vaccines is more difficult, while the development of antidotes is less difficult, so we will first study the antidote, and then continue to deepen the research on vaccines."

After Bai Jie's explanation, Li Yu understood.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is similar to cancer, which has no vaccine to prevent, but if you have cancer, you can use some methods in the early and middle stages to cure it with a certain success rate.

One is prevention, the other is treatment.

In some ways, prevention is more difficult than cure.

Li Yu pondered for a moment and asked:
"You just said that the success rate is 80%. What will happen if it fails? Also, are there any sequelae after success?"

"Will it be possible that after it succeeds, it will mutate into a zombie again after a while?"

Bai Jie replied:
"If they fail, they will naturally turn into zombies. As for the test subjects who have successfully cleared the virus, we have also been observing them in the past half month, and they have not mutated again."

"We are also monitoring the conditions of the experimental subjects on a daily basis and have not found any reappearance of the virus in the experimental subjects. Logically speaking, it should not mutate again."

Hearing Bai Jie say this, Li Yu nodded slightly:

"When will human testing begin? When will a usable antidote be available in bulk?"

Bai Jie pointed to the next room and said:

“When you came here today, the test was already done.”

She looked at her watch and continued:

"It is still in the experimental stage and no accurate conclusion can be drawn for the time being."

"Take me to see it." Li Yu said with a little excitement.

"Yes, please come this way, City Lord." Bai Jie took off her gloves and took Li Yu to the experimental chamber next door.

Madi, Xiaolan and others behind also followed.

Experimental warehouse.

There were seven beds in each of the seven glass rooms, and there was a person lying on each bed.

These people were the stubborn elements captured at the Northwest Base before.

Among them was the boss’s younger brother Zhao Mingzhong.

Now they are caught and used as experimental subjects.

Each glass house is numbered from 1 to 7.

In glass room No. 3, two people wearing white coats and masks were injecting the antidote into subject No. 3.

Bai Jie explained:

"City Lord, we tested these seven test subjects at the same time. We let ordinary zombies bite them at the same time. In a few minutes, they all mutated into zombies."

"After they turned into zombies, we injected the antidote into these test subjects one hour and two hours later. The test results show that it is effective for the human body."

"For test subjects No. 1 and No. 2, the antidote took effect in about 10 minutes and 20 minutes respectively and they returned to normal. The test results showed that all the zombie viruses in their bodies were killed."

"Currently, Zhao Ke and his team are injecting the antidote into Subject No. 3."

"We mainly want to find out whether the human body is the same as the animal test subjects by injecting the antidote at different time periods after the zombies mutate. The antidote must be injected within six hours to be effective."

"Oh?" Li Yu walked to the outside of the glass room of experimental subjects No. 1 and No. 2, and looked at the two people inside through the glass.

The two men have come to their senses and are glaring at the people outside the glass house.

But their hands, feet, necks, waists, elbows and other parts were tied up with iron shackles, making them unable to move at all. Their mouths were also sealed with tape, so they could only kill people with their eyes.

Bai Jie stepped forward and said:

"It has been verified that the antidote is effective for the human body, but it still needs to go through several phases of clinical trials before it can be officially put into mass production."

Li Yu frowned and asked:
"how long it takes?"

Bai Jie did not answer immediately, but turned sideways and discussed with Madi in a low voice for a while before giving Li Yu the answer:

"If nothing unexpected happens, we can start mass production in half a month."

"During this half month, we will observe whether the virus in these people's bodies has been cleared. In addition, we will conduct a second round of tests to see if these people can still be injected with drugs after they recover from the first injection of drugs and are bitten a second time and infected with the zombie virus again."

“In addition, we need to conduct longitudinal comparisons.”

"Through our current tests, we've found that the sooner you inject the drug after being bitten by a zombie, the better the effect, and the faster you'll recover to normal, and vice versa."

Half a month.
The third Dazhangshu high-level meeting will be held in a week, and it is estimated that the meeting will last for more than a week. The antidote can be mass-produced almost at the end of the meeting.

Li Yu nodded and said:
"Okay, it would be better to develop the antidote first, but..."

"But how many antidotes can be produced?"

This question is critical.

Bai Jie replied:
"Whether it is the antidote or the vaccine, the core is the DI element, which we can obtain directly from this meteorite. This is also the fastest way to produce the antidote. The antidote samples we have developed so far were all obtained from that meteorite.

However, we can still extract DI elements from zombie bodies, but the extraction process is more complicated."

"According to the general plan, we can produce a batch first to try it out. If the test results are good, we can find a way to increase production."

"The exact amount that can be produced depends on the speed of decomposing and refining the DI elements."

Li Yu looked at the experimental samples in the glass room, squinted his eyes, and began to think.

Although the vaccine was not developed in one go, having the antidote for zombies would have a huge impact on the Dazhangshu forces.

This means that being bitten by a zombie is not hopeless.

In the past seven or eight years of the apocalypse, everyone is worried about being bitten by zombies. Once bitten by a zombie, even just one bite, it basically means death.

Now, it's completely different.

After being bitten by a zombie, people can be saved!

Snapped!
clap clap clap!
Li Yu turned around and looked at Bai Jie, Madi and others. He moved his hands from slow to fast, with a more obvious smile on his face, and applauded them.

"Thank you. You have made great contributions to the Great Camphor Tree Force and to humanity. When the day comes for mass production, I will commend you in front of the entire base! Thank you for your efforts and contributions!"

Hearing Li Yu's words, Madi, Bai Jie and others were stunned.

But soon, extremely complicated expressions appeared on their faces.

Especially Bai Jie, who established a zombie research institute in the second year after the establishment of the Dazhangshu base, with the goal of developing a zombie vaccine.

After so many years, we finally see the dawn of victory.

During the past six or seven years, they have been under tremendous pressure. The base has invested a huge amount of resources and material resources in them, but there have not been many results.

But now, they can finally stand up straight and speak with confidence.

Although the vaccine has not yet been developed, the antidote is basically ready and only needs to go through a few rounds of experimental testing before it can enter planned mass production.

At that time, the forces of Big Camphor Tree would no longer have to fear being bitten by zombies.

Because even if you're bitten, you can still survive.

Bai Jie, Madi and others also followed suit and clapped. As they clapped, Bai Jie's eyes slowly turned red.

It's not easy.

Li Yu left the research institute in a very happy mood.

In the years since the Zombie Research Institute was established, there have been some bad comments from people in the base.

Too many materials were invested, and in order to find a piece of equipment needed for scientific research, even commandos or combat teams were sent out to search.

When it comes to scientific research needs, Li Yu does his best to satisfy them without hesitation.

Even if they said they needed meteorites from outer space, Li Yu would find a way to cooperate with the Northwest, which was not a very strong force at the time, to try to get the meteorites from outer space.

Looking back on the road I have traveled, it is like a passing cloud of smoke. I have done so many things without realizing it.

Before I knew it, so many years had passed.

Seven years.

In a few days, it will be the eighth year since the apocalypse broke out.

Li Yuhuang staggered back to the inner city.

After not seeing him for a month, Li Ping'an felt a little strange to him, but after Li Yu carried him on his shoulders, Li Ping'an happily called him "Dad".

Yutong looked at Li Yu quietly from the side. This scene, without words, was very beautiful.

Li Ping'an is two years old, and is at his most mischievous age. After sitting on Li Yu's shoulders for a while, he started to make a fuss about getting down and running to play with Li Keai.

Li Yu smiled as he watched Li Ping'an running with his little butt twisted.

After running a few steps, he tripped over the sofa.

He fell flat on his face, but he didn't care at all. He got up quickly and continued running downstairs.

While shouting, "Sister, sister, where are you?"

Li Yu shook his head helplessly with a smile on his face.

This kid.

Tough enough.

This is also one of Li Yu’s educational philosophies. A child must never be spoiled. Once he is spoiled, it will be ruined when he grows up.

In the future, if the entire camphor tree is handed over to a weak person, it would be tantamount to self-destruction.

"What are you looking at?" Li Yu turned his head and looked at Yutong.

Yutong blushed and said with a smile: "Look at you."

"You've become bad." Li Yu laughed, then took Yutong's hand and went upstairs.

It has to be said that women who have given birth are more mature and charming than girls.

In the room, a conversation between two people was heard.

"Hiss, what are you doing?"

"Are the curtains drawn?"

"Is the door locked?"

"Don't worry, they're all locked."

"My Lord City Lord, you are so powerful~"

"No, why did you leave?"

"Wait, I got two sets of clothes at the clothing store, do you want to see them?"

"You want what you want."

"Then go take a shower. You stink when you just came back."

ten minutes later.

When Li Yu walked out of the bathroom, she looked at the bunny girl suit, black stockings and long legs.

She has a slender waist, plump thighs, thin calves, and a plump chest, and is extremely generous.

Yutong is more attractive now than when she was a little girl.

"what!"

Li Yu rushed forward like a hungry wolf, his eyes gleaming with brilliance.

"What are you doing~~ Lord City Lord~"

"I want to stand up and kick!"

"You goblin!"

Stand up and kick, what a tiger and wolf word.

He had always been in good physical condition, and today he felt even better after learning that an antidote had been developed.

Crunch, crunch, crunch——

The mattress began to shake rhythmically.
