Chapter 32: Chapter 15: The Rampage Period of Zombie Beasts

"Dr. Lee, are there any other survivors in the base?"

Ree Shil asked.

"I... I don’t know,"

Dr. Lee shook his head.

He told them that there were password locks between each area.

When the Zombie Beast outbreak happened, the base activated its emergency system, closing all major passageways and doors.

He only knew the password for Test Area E to the Central Hall, so he could only move between Test Area E and the unguarded Entertainment District, and he couldn’t even get back to his dormitory.

"By the way, can I take a look at the USB flash drive you mentioned?"

"Maybe there’s a way I can help you."

Dr. Lee looked at Ree Shil.

According to him, this matter is best to deal with sooner rather than later.

Because he didn’t know how long the equipment in the base would continue to function.

So Ree Shil handed over the USB flash drive.

"This special key interface... It seems that only Experiment Area E’s Terminal Computer can decrypt it."

He took the USB drive, a bemused expression came over his face.

"Dr. Lee?"

"Oh, sorry, I spaced out. Please, everyone, follow me."

He stood up and led the three to the Central Hall.

"To the best of my knowledge, Dormitory Area A and Test Area C have the highest probability of survivors."

"Because the dorm rooms are well-sealed and do not leak smells."

"And the colleagues in Test Area C sometimes wear protective suits."

He pointed to the two entrances.

"Dr. Lee, how long do you think it will take to process the USB data?"

Ree Shil asked.

"It’s hard to say, but at least 1 to 2 hours."

Dr. Lee didn’t have an exact answer either.

"Then let’s split up. I’ll go with Straw Man and the dog to search for survivors, and you stay here to protect him."

Then Mossy Mushroom proposed.

The Zombie Beast Hound can scout, and Straw Man can break doors with force.

"In the movies, when this happens, the side characters usually die."

"You’re the side character! I, the mighty Mushroom Man, am the center of attention!"

"Stop talking, let’s go, Straw Man!"

Just as they were about to start arguing, Straw Man had already kicked open the main gate of Dormitory Area A.

"We should hurry, too."

Watching Straw Man and Mossy Mushroom leave, Ree Shil looked at Dr. Lee.

"Ah? Sure, then follow me."

Dr. Lee seemed to be awakened from a daze and quickly led the way.

Ree Shil felt that this man’s mental state was a bit strange, and he was still wearing an obstructing protective suit, so he couldn’t help but take another look.

But considering that he had been trapped here alone for so long, it was understandable. Maybe the protective suit provided a sense of security for him.

There weren’t many Zombie Beasts in Test Area E, and there was only one each time they encountered one.

And they were not the type that could evolve, so Ree Shil easily solved them with a single blow.

But Dr. Lee, who was walking with him, was terrified by the exploding melon scene.

They walked for about ten minutes before arriving in front of a windowless, sealed room.

The material of this door was obviously different from before, it looked heavy and dense, he felt that even if Straw Man came, he might not be able to kick it open.

After entering the 16-digit password, the door clicked from the inside.

As Dr. Lee opened the door, a computer case as large as a wall appeared before Ree Shil’s eyes.

In addition to the computer case, there was a large curved screen, at least 1 meter long.

Beneath the screen was a specially designed, dedicated control keyboard, with more than 300 keys.

"Don’t be fooled by its name as the Terminal Computer, because there are actually more than a dozen of them in the base."

"This is just one of the servers, and the real Terminal Computer consists of a dozen of them combined."

Dr. Lee explained with a smile.

The computer was already on, and with a few quick keystrokes, the screen displayed a picture.

"Let me see where the interface is."

After typing another line of instructions and pressing Enter,

Click!

A metal interface popped out from the wall, and he plugged in the USB drive.

Soon, the screen displayed all kinds of data.

"First, I need to classify this data."

Dr. Lee typed on the keyboard while explaining the process to Ree Shil.

"Then put the various classifications into different parameters, and let the terminal do the collection."

"Next, the terminal will perform a theoretical simulation of the data based on all parameters."

"Finally, the terminal will calculate a feasible plan according to the simulation results."

"Even if this plan doesn’t necessarily generate an effective vaccine, it should be of great reference to the vaccine production work."

As Dr. Lee said, in the current situation of the base where no practical experiments can be conducted, this is already the best method.

In fact, Ree Shil didn’t understand any of this, and frankly, he didn’t care at all.

At this moment, he just stood quietly by the side, observing Dr. Lee’s face through the glass mask.

People often describe someone’s appearance as not-so-good-looking by saying that every single one of their features is fine, but when combined, they look ugly.

But for the face behind this glass mask, even each of their facial features, when taken individually, was ugly.

"Indeed, becoming a survivor isn’t that easy."

Unconsciously, Ree Shil muttered in awe.

"Huh? What did you say?"

"No, nothing."

"The Military District Research Institute has some capable people."

At this time, Dr. Lee’s face showed admiration.

"If I remember correctly, it’s just a B-level Research Institute."
