Chapter 27: Chapter 12 Revealing the Zombie Beast_3
"Now that you mention the appearance of a strengthened Zombie Beast, it confirms my suspicion that this form of material-energy may have the potential to evolve,"
"So, the problem is getting more and more serious."
She expressed her concern.
"Is there no way to solve this, like creating some vaccine or a counter virus against the Zombie Beasts?"
Mr. Liu asked.
"Unfortunately, with my current knowledge and the resources available at the Research Institute, the possibility is 0%."
Director Loan shook her head, but her tone changed: "However, in the suburbs of West City, there might be a place that possesses such technology."
"H International Group Experimental Base, dedicated to the research of biology and potions."
"Would you guys be willing to go there?"
She looked at Ree Shil and his friends.
[Accept Hidden Mission: Explore H International Group Experimental Base-0/1]
A new mission popped up.
"Of course, no problem."
Ree Shil agreed on behalf of everyone.
"Then I wonât be going with you since I wonât be of much help and might slow you down."
Mr. Liu showed self-awareness.
"The H International Group Experimental Base is in a secluded location and has its own security, so there is a higher possibility that it has not been occupied."
"If there are still researchers there, please pass this to them."
"This contains all the data collected by our institute in the past three weeks, which should be of some help to them."
"If the place is occupied, weâll discuss it again when you come back."
Director Loan handed Ree Shil a USB flash drive.
"Also, I can provide you with some assistance."
As she spoke, she dialed an internal phone number.
[Woo-ah...!]
After a while, Ree Shil heard a Zombie Beast-like growling sound outside the office door.
"Zombie Beast?"
He immediately drew out his iron stick.
"Donât worry, thatâs our Zombie Beast."
He didnât expect Director Loan to say such a thing.
As the office door was opened, a large dog tethered by a soldier appeared in front of them.
This dog was huge, about the same size as Mossy Mushroom.
The main thing was its skin, which was devoid of fur, and it was the same withered greyish-brown color as the Zombie Beasts on the streets.
"Isnât this a genuine Zombie Beast?"
Ree Shil looked at the other party.
"I believe youâve noticed that the Zombie Beast Virus doesnât infect animals other than humans."
"This dog was artificially infected by us."
"And then we discovered that the Zombie Beast Virus does not affect an animalâs rationality, but actually makes them smarter and more communicative."
Originally, this dog was already dying from a serious illness, so Director Loan simply conducted an experiment, which yielded a very good result.
"There is such a magical thing? Whatâs its name?"
Mossy Mushroom looked at the tame dog, sticking its tongue out, finding it fascinating.
Director Loan: "It didnât have a name. When it was sent here, it was already on its last breath."
Ree Shil: "Does this dog bite?"
Director Loan: "Donât worry, itâs very obedient. It usually doesnât bite unless it canât help it."
Ree Shil: "...., thatâs a redundant statement."
Mossy Mushroom: "Ahhhh! Why didnât you say it earlier! Cute Mushroom! Let go! You damn dog!!"
Director Loan: "Itâs fine. We have theoretically calculated that the animal Zombie Beasts cannot infect humans."
Director Loan: "However, you should have had a rabies vaccine, right?"
Mossy Mushroom: "?!?!?!?!"
