The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 862: Collective Insomnia (Three days left for the monthly ticket draw, trot in)

At around three o'clock in the morning, Xie Yanshan came to Cui Lengxuan with a tired face. He pushed open the door of the laboratory and found that the other three were there.

"You guys...can't sleep either?"

"Oh, yes, don't mention it."

"I'm so sleepy, but I just can't fall asleep."

The four of them looked at each other...

"Have the four of us been infected with some virus? What should we do if we can't sleep?"

Duan Wuhu took a puff of his cigarette, feeling very depressed.

It’s okay to feel sleepy, and it’s okay to endure it. It’s uncomfortable to endure it when you’re sleepy, but you can still persist. But now I’m obviously very sleepy, and I still have the opportunity to sleep, but I can’t fall asleep. It’s a strange way of enduring it!

It's like when you are very hungry and there is a table full of delicious food in front of you. Your stomach and intestines are moving frantically to remind your brain to eat, and then you stuff the food into your mouth and chew it vigorously. Your stomach is cheering below, but in the end you can't swallow it, which is maddening.

"No doubt, it must be related to this matter."

Xie Yanshan pointed at his eyes helplessly, then pointed at the disassembled emotional zombie corpse.

Several people looked at the scattered zombies in silence.

"As expected of a mutated zombie from the Golden Thalamus, it's extraordinary. Even its death can have such a big impact on people!"

"No, brother, is that how you look at this matter?"

Duan Wuhu looked at Fu Weijun with an exaggerated expression. Several people were affected and couldn't even sleep now, but they still had the mind to praise it!
Do we deserve this?

Fu Weijun shrugged and said seriously: "I'm sorry, my mind is a bit confused. In our current situation, the most appropriate way is to use drugs to fall asleep."

"Don't try conventional sleeping pills. I've taken them and they didn't work." Duan Wuhu showed a depressed expression.

Fu Weijun nodded: "Yes, Doctor Liu used similar medicine on me before. It was effective for pain relief, but not for sleeping."

"Then try a strong sedative. It should help us fall asleep. Who of you is willing to try it?"

Xie Yanshan looked at them tiredly.

What choice do we have at this time? Several people nodded.

In order to prevent the four people from falling asleep together and causing Cui Lengxuan to stop working, it was decided that Xie Yanshan and Zuo Fengjuan would be injected first.

After adjusting the dosage and giving the injection, Fu Weijun and Duan Wuhu looked at Xie Yanshan and Zuo Fengjuan hopefully. Under normal circumstances, they would fall asleep in just a few seconds, but after half a minute, the two were still staring with bloodshot eyes, looking very alert.

"It's over..."

Xie Yanshan shook his hands. No one understood the horror of not being able to sleep better than him.

In history, there have indeed been people who lost their ability to sleep due to accidents and could go without sleep for decades, but that was because a certain part of their brain was damaged, so they would not feel tired even without sleep...

Their current condition is not like that. They are very tired and look forward to sleeping, but they can't sleep!

It was like a tube of super-strong stimulant injected directly into the soul, making it impossible to calm down, and making it restless until the last moment of life...

"Even powerful sedatives are ineffective. Are we going to die?"

There were some dark spots under Zuo Fengjuan's eyes, and she looked obviously haggard.

"It won't be that serious, at least not yet!"

Fu Weijun comforted him, "Many years ago, someone conducted an experiment on the longest time without sleep. A college student who was physically normal took part in the experiment, and the final record was fixed at eleven days and fifteen minutes. Since you can't fall asleep, why not wake up and make yourself feel more comfortable first."

"You're quite impressive for doing the opposite. I have an idea... How about giving it a try?"

Duan Wuhu made a knocking motion. In the early days of disasters, he was often unable to kill humans, so he had knocked people unconscious many times and had gained a lot of experience.

The other three looked at Duan Wuhu with strange eyes.

"Xiao Duan, is your method...reliable?"

Xie Yanshan asked a question.

Duan Wuhu explained: "If you hit someone's jaw with moderate force, you can knock them out instantly. The back of the head can also have the same effect. I am sure of both. It depends on your choice." Jaw, back of the head...

Those are all weak spots.

Fu Weijun and Xie Yanshan smiled and shook their heads, rejecting this violent method, while Zuo Fengjuan nodded after hesitating for a moment.

"Teacher Zuo, you...you are so brave."

Fu Weijun was about to give some advice, but what came out of his mouth turned into praise.

Several people tried sleeping pills and strong sedatives without any results. They were desperate and had to try any possible means. Since they were willing to try, they decided to give it a try.

"Teacher Zuo, where do you want to be hit?"

Duan Wuhu found a round table leg and asked seriously.

Zuo Fengjuan touched her head and showed an embarrassment: "Here, even if I fail here, I won't be disfigured..."

"Okay, don't worry, I will be careful with my attack, don't be afraid."

Zuo Fengjuan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just afraid I won't be able to fall asleep. Teacher Duan, come on."

Things were very decisive up to now. After getting into position, Duan Wuhu first tested his strength in the air, and then hit Zuo Fengjuan on the back of the head with a bang.

Fu Weijun and Xie Yanshan's eyelids were twitching and they touched their heads subconsciously.

"hiss!"

Zuo Fengjuan rolled her eyes, grimaced in pain, and covered her head with a distorted expression. She showed no signs of fainting, but the pain made her more energetic.

"Alas...it doesn't seem to work."

Xie Yanshan sighed.

"I'm sorry, this... Teacher Zuo, come here, first apply some blood circulation and blood stasis oil."

Duan Wuhu was extremely embarrassed. He was hit with a stick and then put medicine on it, which made him look like a lunatic.

Chemotherapy and physical therapy were all ineffective, and the four were at a loss.

Fu Weijun and Xie Yanshan simply calmed down and started working in the laboratory, studying the organs of emotional zombies and conducting various routine tests and observations.

Duan Wuhu and Zuo Fengjuan also found something to do to distract themselves and feel a little better...

At around five o'clock, Liu Jiehui woke up and found that there was no one in the room. Her heart tightened. When she walked out of the room, she heard people talking in the laboratory next door, and she was relieved.

"Dr. Fu, Dr. Xie, good morning. You both got up really early."

Liu Jiehui stood at the door of the laboratory where two people were studying zombies. Such a restricted area was generally not allowed to be entered without permission.

Getting up really early?
Ah……

"Good morning, Dr. Liu." Fu Weijun responded out of politeness, with no enthusiasm for conversation at all, and continued to record observation data.

Xie Yanshan turned around and said helplessly: "We are in trouble, Doctor Liu, it's not that we got up early, but that we didn't sleep at all..."

Then, he told Liu Jiehui about the situation they had encountered, thinking that if everyone worked together, perhaps the other party would be able to find a solution?

"This is really a difficult problem. I can't help it."

After listening to this, Liu Jiehui gave a very forced smile. Even powerful sedatives could not make him fall into a coma. This was completely beyond the scope of her training and she could not give any useful suggestions.

In fact, it is not completely without a solution. There is a way that can make you feel less uncomfortable even if you don’t sleep.

That is to perform a craniotomy to destroy sleep-related brain tissue, but the risk is very high, especially with the poor medical conditions nowadays, it is almost suicide, so Liu Jiehui didn't say it.

Time passed by bit by bit, and the color of the sky did not change much, but everyone in the camp still maintained a normal schedule. Lights were lit one by one, and more and more people were moving around.

The first place to get busy was the restaurant, as the kitchen team began to prepare breakfast for everyone. Puffs of smoke wafted out of the chimney, but it was too dark to see.
