Chapter 568: The Antidote

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

He, Xiao Yunlong, Wu Chengyue, and the others didn’t continue their conversation until they returned to Wu Chengyue’s room.

“What is it? Since Zou has sent you here, I assume there is a problem,” Wu Chengyue sat on the couch as he looked at He and said. He sat on his left side while Xiao Yunlong dragged over a chair and sat down beside him as well.

“Chief Zou didn’t say anything specific. He only told me to ask for your opinion. He said that you’re here, so you must know better than he does,” said He.

“Eh? Just that? I thought he’d have something to say to Upper City base…” Wu Chengyue looked at He with surprise.

“To Upper City Base? Why?” He asked with confusion.

“Because Deputy Chief Yan, I guess. After all, she’s been yelling that we need to destroy Upper City Base since she came back,” Xiao Yunlong smilingly answered the question for Wu Chengyue.

“Chief Wu, do you think our Chief Zou would just take her words? Before finding out the truth, Chief Zou won’t make any decision,” He pushed up his glasses and said.

“You’re right! Zou isn’t that kind of man,” Wu Chengyue smilingly nodded.

“Oh… Also, about that thing, there’s an update,” Xiao Yunlong abruptly added as he suddenly thought of something. Then, he took a few pieces of paper out of his bag.

While reading the text on the papers, he said, “Huaxia Base has successfully developed the antidote for the zombie virus. We heard that the molecule is originated from a special zombie and some other mutated creatures which have special powers. The antidote needs to be burned and decomposed at a high temperature to spread in the air. According to the results of the preliminary experiments, burning ten grams of the antidote can cause a pathological change in the virus carried by all the zombies within ten meters in radius. Then, after one or two hours, those zombies will die.”

“So, the antidote… can it be counted as a success?” Wu Chengyue’s eyes glowed.

Even though the coverage of ten grams of antidote was merely ten meters in radius, it was already marvelous. If someone gathered a large number of zombies together and then released a large amount of antidote, those zombies would all die, wouldn’t they?

“Yes. The news has already spread. I think Huaxia Base might send their people to invite the leaders of all the other bases for a grand meeting in a while,” Xiao Yunlong nodded and said.

Every grand meeting took place in Huaxia City, because Huaxia Base was the most powerful base. Every shocking discovery would be discussed in a grand meeting in Huaxia City.

During the past five years, the grand meeting was only called for three times. The first meeting was called the year after the apocalypse when the human bases were built, and the rest two meetings happened in the four years after that.

This time, if the antidote was truly, successfully developed, the fourth meeting was going to happen soon.

“Did you say that the antidote is made from a special zombie? Is it made from the zombie’s blood? What kind of zombie has that power?” Wu Chengyue asked.

“I heard that it’s a very powerful zombie dominator. It was caught by a leader of Huaxia Base. As for its power, Huaxia Base people didn’t leak any information. There’re other compositions too, from a few different types of mutated plants and animals,” said Xiao Yunlong.

“So, if the antidote is made from just one zombie’s blood, how much is the success rate?” Wu Chengyue asked.

“I heard that it has been raised to 67%,” Xiao Yunlong lowered his head and browed the files, then answered the question.

“67%… That’s still too low. How many antidotes can they make until they drain that zombie?” Wu Chengyue frowned slightly.

“That’s why Huaxia Base people are not only keeping the zombie dominator, but also controlling the amount of the antidote. On the other hand, they need to figure out a way to raise the success rate further,” said Xiao Yunlong.

After talking about the antidote that Huaxia Base had developed, He and Xiao Yunlong went back to their rooms which were arranged by Xiao Yunlong.

After they left, the smile on Wu Chengyue’s face faded. He turned and walked into the bedroom. Wu Yueling was playing alone on the bed. He scooped her up and said, “Ling Ling, let’s go and find your Zombie Mom.”

Wu Yueling’s eyes glowed. She immediately put her arms around her father’s neck and nodded.

After Qiu Lili and Yun Meng left, Lin Qiao pondered shortly, then decided to talk to Yuan Tianxing about the future plans. Once she walked out of her room, she saw Wu Chengyue coming up with Wu Yueling in his arms.

“Going out? Stay for a second. I have something to say to you,” At the sight of her, Wu Chengyue said smilingly. Then, he walked to her and entered her room naturally, completely ignoring her reaction.

Seeing him walk into her room so casually as if it were his room, Lin Qiao said unhappily, “We can talk downstairs in the lobby. Why did you come up here?”

Wu Chengyue put Wu Yueling on the ground, then stood straight as he shook his head and said to her, “Oh, no, for some things, we should better talk in a room.”

‘Why didn’t you invite me to your room then? Why do you always come to my room? ‘ Lin Qiao thought.

She pulled a long face and looked at him, but didn’t say anything. Instead, she said to Duan Juan who was standing by her door, “Go downstairs and tell Yuan Tianxing to come up.”

“Yes,” Duan Juan turned and went downstairs.

Lin Qiao closed the door, then turned and held a hand of Wu Yueling who had run to her, walking to the other couch before sitting down.

“Speak. What’s it about? I have something to tell you too actually. It’s about the wind-powered attacker.” Lin Qiao put Wu Yueling on her lap, then looked at Wu Chengyue and said.

“Have you heard about the antidote that Huaxia Base developed yet?” Wu Chengyue looked at her and asked. He was still wearing a faint smile, yet the look in his eyes was serious.

“Hm… I’ve heard about it,” Lin Qiao nodded, then looked at him and asked, “What? Have you received some news about it?”

Wu Chengyue nodded, “I had sent my people to Huaxia Base to follow the development of the antidote. We do have news about it now. It’s a good thing for human beings, but might not be good for you.”

Lin Qiao frowned slightly. Her eyes were piercing as she replied, “Are you saying that they have already developed the antidote? What effect does it have? What’s it made from? Can you find out how it was developed?”

“The current success rate is 67%. The maximum activity range of ten grams of the antidote is ten meters in radius. Burning ten grams of the antidote can kill all the zombies within ten meters radius around it. That’s its effect,” Wu Chengyue paused shortly and then continued, “I heard that it’s made from a special zombie and some mutated animals and plants. That zombie is probably kept in Huaxia Base now. I think Huaxia Base people will only take a limited amount of blood from that zombie. After all, zombie bodies cannot generate new blood. If they drain that zombie, they might not be able to find another zombie-like that.”
