Chapter 797 - 599: Is There Meat? (Two in One)

Tap tap tap~

With the sound of Li Yu’s footsteps, his figure appeared at the entrance of the duty office.

"I think we can give it a try," Li Yu said as he walked in.

Everyone in the duty office greeted him.

Li Yu looked at Zhou Ran standing next to Uncle Qin, sizing him up.

He then slowly addressed Zhou Ran, "If I give you the materials, how long will it take to make one?"

Zhou Ran was delighted to hear this, obviously happy that Li Yu approved of his idea.

He excitedly said, "It won’t take much time, at most two days. It’s very simple, just need to secure the zombie’s body and guide it."

Hearing how simple Zhou Ran claimed it was, Li Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I’ll have He Bing and his team assist you later, you make one first to see.

As for the zombies, there are several in the laboratory, we’ll just bring one directly for your use."

Receiving Li Yu’s support, Zhou Ran was very pleased and told him, "Thank you, Director Li. If this is successful, I believe it will definitely solve the power problem."

Hearing this, Li Yu immediately thought of the human-powered generators placed in the Second Outer City.

These generators all used cooperative personnel for human power generation, consuming manpower.

The weather had already improved, and they were definitely planning to leave soon; and once they left, these human-powered generators should not be wasted.

Thus, he addressed Zhou Ran, "Considering the current human-powered generators, think about modifying them concurrently so the zombies outside can replace them."

Zhou Ran certainly did not refuse and emphatically said, "Rest assured, Director Li, this isn’t difficult. I’ll modify them in the next two days. It’s just that I need some manpower."

Li Yu looked at Old Qin by his side and then suggested to Uncle Qin, "Uncle Qin, how about this, since you all are familiar with operating the machines, later you can assist him on the side."

"Moreover, I will have He Bing and his team come help you later."

Hearing that Li Yu had arranged manpower for him, Zhou Ran was overjoyed, continuously thanking Li Yu for the opportunity.

Having discussed the Zombie Generator with Zhou Ran, Zhou Ran and Old Qin then went down from the enclosure.

Watching their retreating figures, Li Yu felt a surge of emotions. If this project could be successful, the impact on the Big Camphor Tree Base would be extremely profound.

Being able to solve the power issue at once would greatly boost the future development of the Big Camphor Tree Base.

The essential thing was, what was most abundant outside the base?

Zombies, indeed!

An endless supply of zombies, which could be used eventually.

However, there was also a problem faced; zombies were extremely fierce, and capturing live zombies was very risky, and it was crucial to remain vigilant of these captured zombies.

Every zombie entering the base had to be processed.

First, the zombies’ teeth would be pulled out, and they’d be fitted with iron head cages so they can’t bite people.

The second step would involve using chains and ropes to tie them up, restricting them to certain areas.

Only then, these processed zombies could be placed in the laboratory.

As of now, there were only 6 zombies in the laboratory, all recently captured for research purposes.

Each zombie was kept individually in a cage and locked with iron locks.

To ensure the safety of the laboratory.

After Old Qin and Zhou Ran went down, Li Yu asked He Bing to come over, discuss Zhou Ran’s idea with him, and have him assist Zhou Ran.

He Bing immediately expressed no problem and was amazed by Zhou Ran’s proposal.

He cheerfully went down from the enclosure to find Zhou Ran.

Seeing Bai Jie was still here, Li Yu also told her, "You go back to the Research Room later to prepare a zombie to hand over to Zhou Ran and them, and be very careful with zombies involved."

Bai Jie had been waiting for Li Yu to assign her tasks, and hearing that there was nothing else besides preparing the zombie, she felt somewhat disappointed.

"Alright, then I will go first."

Li Yu thought about the dangers of handling a zombie, so he said to Third Uncle, "Third Uncle, I will go and help handle the zombie."

Third Uncle nodded slightly, pulled out a cucumber from his pocket, and started gnawing at it.

Li Yu followed Bai Jie down from the enclosure, walking side by side.

Seeing Bai Jie silent, Li Yu coughed slightly and casually asked, "Has there been any progress in the zombie research recently?"

Bai Jie saw Old Lü walking up to the enclosure from Weng City, stepped aside to let Old Lü pass.

Then she said to Li Yu, "Ever since Professor Ma Di joined, our initial main research direction was how to transform zombies back to humans, searching for the antidote.

But since the high temperatures turned the zombies’ skin white, we found that these zombies have strong adaptability and can swiftly adjust to environmental changes.

Of course, their aversion to sunlight hasn’t changed."

"..."

Li Yu listened to Bai Jie’s extensive explanations, but he discerned that an antidote to the zombie infection hadn’t been developed yet, and even the progress was minimal.
