Chapter 189
Due to various factors, much of the data about Zombie Vaccines held by the Parents is stored in the Real World.
While the team responsible for developing the Zombie Vaccine was comparing data from Comic World they had brought with them, which showed similar Zombie conditions, Qin Su returned to the comic Real World Comic World with capture equipment that could prevent the spread of the Zombie Virus.
Although the Comic World is more advanced than the Apocalypse World in terms of its setting.
However, in the Apocalypse World where my parents live, Zombies have existed for a very long time and are almost an eternal presence in the Apocalypse World. Therefore, they have more experience in dealing with Zombies than in the Comic World.
The equipment and supplies designed to combat Zombies, such as containers for containing Zombie and Vaccines, are naturally more advanced than in the Comic World.
Before returning to the Real World, Qin Su did not use the equipment from the Comic World for capture, fearing that the containers obtained from the Comic World might have developed specific methods to target similar Zombie Virus, potentially leading to his infection during the Zombie capture process.
Based on the Life Points bug, he won't die after being infected, but who knows if he'll contract the characteristics of the Zombie Virus while still alive, resulting in terrifying states like 'although he's still alive, his brain won't think, he'll start biting people indiscriminately, become a source of Zombie Virus transmission, and lose his aesthetic sense...'
Once his persona is out of character (OOC), his popularity plummets, and his Life Points can't possibly increase; in the end, he's doomed anyway.
Furthermore, everything he did was based on his personal speculation about the state of humans after being infected with the Virus, according to data he obtained from the Comic World. So far, there is no conclusive evidence that the Virus released by the Empire is the same as the Apocalypse World where his Parents lived.
Even with the same Virus, many terms used in the two worlds differ from those in the Real World.
He needs to capture a Zombie from the Comic World so that the staff in the Real World can compare it with actual data.
If it is indeed the same type of Virus, we need to determine the current stage of the Virus in the Comic World before we can use a targeted Vaccine.
Without concrete data to support it, and unsure whether the Virus in the Comic World is the same as the one in his Parents' world, Qin Su carried only the highest level of equipment to ensure his safety.
With a large enough team and a clear division of labor, and a thorough understanding of the different stages of the Zombie Virus, by the time Qin Su returned to the Real World, thanks to the efforts of countless people, a detailed comparison of the Virus's descriptions in both worlds had been clearly laid out.
During the comparison period, the researchers in charge of the project also gained a certain understanding of the Virus data brought back from the Comic World, and quickly and skillfully carried out a series of tasks on the Virus- infected individuals brought back by Qin Su.
Having completed the tasks he could, Qin Su remained inside the Comic World while awaiting the release of the actual data on Virus infections. He waited anxiously behind the transparent wall.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Su saw someone emerge from inside, still heading in his direction. He turned away from the other side of the wall and said, "Dean Li."
There were still many things to do inside, so Li Jia cut to the chase. "I didn't see any records about the Doom473 Virus Vaccine in the data you brought back. Is it that there weren't any, or that you couldn't get them?"
Doom473 is the name the Virus developers used to name the Virus, as seen in the data they brought back from Qin Su.
With the support of specific data on the bodies of Virus individuals, many of the terms and data discrepancies in the Virus data that Qin Su brought back earlier that they couldn't understand at first are now basically clear on what they mean.
However, the physical data of this Virus corpse showed that it was stronger than the various stages of Zombie Virus infected individuals that had been brought back as samples before.
This means that even if they match the data and understand Doom473, they will still need to make some adjustments to the Vaccine, which will take some time.
If Qin Su has records of Vaccine development, the timeframe will be significantly shortened.
Qin Su immediately denied it with certainty. "No, what I brought back are all the records of Doom473 from its research and development to its deployment."
Based on the data he stole from the Empire, this was the first time the Empire had used this virus, which might be similar to a Zombie Virus. In fact, before its release, he had not seen any records of human experiments conducted by the Empire, only animal experiments.
Each animal used in the Virus experiment would become infected with the Virus and spread it to other animals placed in the same container. After obtaining the data, the staff in charge of the experiment would perform aerosolization of the bones and flesh of all Virus infected animals.
This was the first time the Empire had used this method on Prisoners who were also human, and then sent them to the Leichakan Planet, which was under the jurisdiction of the Federation.
This was the first time they had used such Virus in a war between humans, and there was no record of them developing Vaccine. Perhaps the Empire didn't have time to develop one? Or perhaps they didn't want Federation spies to see news about Vaccine development when they stole information about Doom 473, which prompted the Federation to accelerate Vaccine development?
A fleeting look of disappointment crossed Li Jia's face, but she quickly said to Qin Su, "I understand."
Meanwhile, Li Jia told Qin Su, "It will take about another 6 hours for Vaccine that is effective for Doom473 Virus patients when injected within two hours of infection, with a probability of over 70%."
This is the fastest production speed possible, given that the Doom473 Virus is similar to Zombie Virus they have encountered before, and that Vaccine for this stage already exists.
"Okay, I understand." Qin Su nodded. "I will come back to retrieve it for actual experiments later."
The result was good, and Qin Su felt a great weight lifted from his heart. He immediately returned to the Comic World.
It hasn't been long since the Virus- carrying Prisoners were deployed to the Leichakan battlefield. The deployment site was initially ignored, and only in the last day or two have planets started arriving in Leichakan under the Federation's dispatch.
So far, the research is still in the stage of capturing and studying Zombies, and the progress of Vaccine development is far behind that of the Parents' apocalyptic Virus research team in the Real World, which has past experience as a foundation.
He needs to gain a deeper understanding of the Zombie Virus Virus the Comic World, to end it all before the infected humans evolve into high-level infected individuals known as 'Zombie Kings' and he discovers a serum similar to K-110 in these high-level infected individuals.
Unfortunately, he couldn't offer to go to Leichakan, as it would easily lead others to believe that he cared a lot about the 'Doom473 Virus'.
In the eyes of the original inhabitants of the Comic World, he shouldn't care so much about these things.
Therefore, he could only have the Fourth Military Academy draw lots to select the class, and then have the Class of 26 (Class 6 selected, so that they could naturally take the Vaccine to Leichakan.
Who were the participants in the Fourth Military Academy's lottery this time, and where were they held?
In his dormitory, Qin Su turned on his Optical Brain and began checking recent news.
The students are a diverse group of talented individuals, and many of them love to gossip. Not only within the school, but even the slightest news from other Military Academies on other planets spreads rapidly through the internet.
The internal lottery for Military Academies in Leichakan was not a secret; information about it could be found online and even on the StarNet Forum keywords.
Soon, Qin Su saw the name 'Aiseboer'.
Thinking that Aiseboer's luck was about the same as his own, Qin Su went to the lottery location, waiting for his chance to act.
If Aiseboer gets selected for the Fourth Military Academy by luck, then consider his trip a waste.
After two hours of Hyperspace Jump, nearly an hour of pleasantries and waiting, and more than three hours later, it was finally Aiseboer's turn to represent the Fourth Military Academy.
All Military Academies on each planet will gather at the same venue, and each Military Academy will send a representative to draw lots. Military Academy that is drawn the most times on that planet will be the one dispatched to the battle.
Afterwards, the Military Academy's leadership randomly selected students from each of the Military Academy four graduating classes, and the selected students from each graduating class formed a team to travel to Leichakan.
When it was Aiseboer's turn, Aiseboer looked at 'Fourth Military Academy x8', which was the Military Academy on the Saint Parknia Planet to which the Fourth Military Academy Military Academy, and silently prayed, 'Don't draw me, don't draw me--', and pressed the robot button.
The words 'Fourth Military Academy' changed the original 'x8' number of times to 'x9'.
Other Military Academies. "..."
'Puhaha--'
"Having participated in so many lotteries, this is the first time they've seen someone draw themselves, artificially increasing the difficulty for their own school."
Based on the number of Military Academies participating in the lottery on Saint Parknia Planet, the Fourth Military Academy maintained a streak of x8, tying with another Military Academy that also had a streak of 8.
Because Qin Su was chosen by Aiseboer, who was the "last one" to be drawn against him or by another Military Academy, the Fourth Military Academy would be safe.
Now, with Aiseboer's intervention, the Fourth Military Academy has 'stood out'.
This time, if the Fourth Military Academy wants to minimize the number of deaths, the only way is...
The name 'Qin Su' flashed through the minds of the other Military Academy representatives.
As is well known, Qin Su disliked his team suffering losses when he was at the Fourth Military Academy Zerg Fourth Military Academy, and this habit is very likely to continue there.
' The Fourth Military Academy's predicament can be resolved simply by randomly selecting (Class 6 from the 189 classes of the Class of 26 class.'
Seeing the suppressed laughter on the faces of the other Military Academy representatives, Aiseboer: "..."
'9 what 9?' Shouldn't he be the one shouting 'Help!'
Aiseboer forced an awkward but polite smile, appearing calm on the surface, but inwardly cursing and praying that when Xu Zhen and the students of the Fourth Military Academy found out about this news, they could curse him in private, but not openly; he was too sensitive.
Qin Su: "..."
As expected of Aiseboer, he didn't give him any room to maneuver.
After confirming that the Fourth Military Academy had won the draw with '9', Aiseboer stayed in his draw position, waiting for the data in the drawing device to change from the data of the various Military Academies on Saint Parknia Planet to the data of the various classes of the Fourth Military Academy.
The machine quickly alerted Aiseboer to continue drawing.
'Class of 27)'
As it was almost the turn of the Class of 26, the other Military Academy representatives, who had been secretly laughing at Aiseboer's hands for being likened to those in the sewers, stopped their hushed discussions and held their breath, staring at the blank area on the suspended screen.
The words 'Class of 26 Class 6' quickly appeared before everyone's eyes as Aiseboer pressed the button.
Aiseboer: "..."
'Oh, this...'
Even Aiseboer himself was at a loss when faced with this outcome.
Other Military Academies in Saint Parknia: "..."
'Truly... Aiseboer's rise and fall both Aiseboer.'
That luck was just indescribable.
Qin Su: "..."
Was it He Muzhi exerted his strength, or did he exert his strength himself?
Since He Muzhi were in Class 6), based on the principle of fair resonance, Qin Su had to assume that both he and He Muzhi had exerted their efforts, each contributing half of their efforts.
Plans couldn't keep up with Aiseboer's luck, and realizing he'd come for nothing, Qin Su stopped watching and silently left.
--
Not long after returning to the Fourth Military Academy, the lottery results from Saint Parknia Planet had already been sent back to the Fourth Military Academy.
Seeing Class 6) among them, He Muzhi couldn't help but recall the look Qin Su gave him when he first heard the news of Leichakan.
In the past, He Muzhi would have firmly believed that this was purely a coincidence, plus the fact that he, the unlucky guy, had secretly exerted his strength in Class 6).
Now, He Muzhi couldn't help but wonder in his heart if this result was related to Qin Su.
If my guess is correct, is Qin Su... going there for the people of Leichakan Planet, who are suffering from the dangers of this strange Virus? Or... does he see this as another opportunity for Class 6 to gain experience?
However, as students who haven't graduated from the Military Academy yet, they won't appear on the front lines like the students from the local Military Academy in Leichakan. They generally only do things like Transport supplies and carrying the wounded. For the Zerg Fourth Military Academy students who have never seen a real war between humans before, this is indeed a worthwhile experience.
Or perhaps...
What other deeper meanings did he not yet consider?
As he pondered, the voices of his classmates kept coming, interrupting He Muzhi's thoughts, and he looked at his classmates.
"Who could be more unlucky than us? Out of so many classes, why did they have to pick on us and cause trouble?"
"I don't think so. According to past practice, the classes selected to participate in the war early can skip one training trip, which is quite fair. Other classes from other years were also selected, so we're all in the same boat."
"You misunderstood. What I meant by bad luck wasn't that. It's that the wars we've encountered in our previous training are completely different from this one. Before, it was between people; now we are people, and the enemy is a monster infected with some kind of Virus. They are fearless and won't die, but we are different. Even if we aren't assigned to the front lines to carry the wounded or infected corpses, the level of danger is still no less than being on the front lines."
"Don't say it, it's creepy."
The people in Class 6 originally wanted to say something like, "With the Class Monitor here, they won't get into trouble," but they immediately thought of such a thing, which was tantamount to forcibly morally kidnapping Qin Su and making him responsible for their lives. This violated their basic principles as Military Academy students and was quite shameless, so they kept quiet in time.
Some people quickly noticed that the original (Class 6 was unusually quiet this time, even Raymond was always pushing his luck even when he was wrong, was not saying a word, which made them feel strange.
Are you all mute?
"Exactly, this isn't like you guys at all. It's really strange. Do you also think this matter is so serious that you don't want to say anything?"
"No, not at all," Raymond said seriously. "We've just been trying to become more mature and composed lately, to be a bit more like the Class Monitor, and being less talkative is the first step."
"Heh, I believe what He Muzhi says, but you Raymond, should just go to bed early."
"Why is this dragging in comparisons?" Raymond wasn't happy about it.
"What's all the fuss about? Why don't we guess which class Class Monitor will be the team leader for our four classes going out this time? Of course, traditionally, the Class Monitor of the highest-ranking class is usually the team leader for missions, but this time our Class Monitor is one of them."
"You guys still don't understand our Class Monitor. He definitely doesn't care who's the team Class Monitor; it's not important to him."
"Honestly, the captain is responsible for liaising with the people in charge of the school in Leichakan, and then making arrangements for us. That means he's responsible for everyone who goes out. If there are only a few people, it's fine, but if there are too many and something goes wrong, the captain will be in big trouble. This situation is more dangerous than before. Who would want to be the captain?"
"Wait a minute, nobody wants to be the captain, and Qin Su doesn't seem to care. Wouldn't it be easy for the responsibility of being the captain to fall on Qin Su?"
(Class 6: "..."
'That's right!'
"Hey, aren't you guys guessing a little too soon?" Jim chimed in, "At first we just thought the Class Monitor had taken the morning off, but now Class Monitor's taken the afternoon off too. We wonder how long he'll keep this up. Is he really coming with us to Leichakan?"
With just one simple sentence, the sense of crisis suddenly rose in Class 6), who had been chatting enthusiastically, and they all rushed to ask their Class Advisor, Zhang Minglang.
At the same time, the other three classes of the Fourth Military Academy, especially the newly enrolled Class of 27 (153), heard the news that Qin Su had asked for leave and were anxious to find out when Qin Su would return. The school's internal Forum was full of posts searching for Qin Su's whereabouts and asking for inside information.
[928L: Will we ever meet again, Su (tears)]
[929L: My Yan... cough cough, Su, how can I live without you! (tears)]
[930L: Listen to me, be good, we're not going to live anymore (smiling bravely through tears. jpg)]
[931L: Su, take me with you, Su (tears)]
[932L: @Qin Su, please be kind to me!]
[933L: I was laughing when I realized I was also in the squad that was going to fight, and I burst into tears.]
[934L: Don't worry, I'm not leaving (doge) Anyway, I'm not Qin Su]
[935L: Don't worry, I'm back, because I'm not Qin Su anymore (hehe)]
[936L: Where no one was watching, Aiseboer, who had pinned us down with a single blow, has beautifully disappeared.]
[937L: Aiseboer (screaming):? You're being long-winded!]
[938L: Is Qin Su some kind of magic pill? Why is the whole world looking for him?]
[939L: What else? Our Qin Su can cure all ills, okay? In other words, if something really bad happens and Qin Su can't handle it, then who in the other classes who went out with us has the ability to handle it?]
[940L: This floor number '9' is bad. Our Fourth Military Academy was chosen by it. Quickly remove it from the list.]
[941L: It's not like Qin Su can control that terrifying Virus that we still don't know what it is. Let's just pray that the corpses don't explode and bite us when we're moving them. Anyway, with Qin Su's strength, the infected can't touch Qin Su, but you might not be able to.]
[942L: It was impossible before, but now there's Virus, including zombies coming back to life. I really don't understand. At this point, can't they stop moving those corpses and wounded soldiers back from Leichakan? Just disintegrate anyone who's injured and cut off all possibilities of infection, wouldn't that be better?]
[943L:... Upstairs, are you genuinely ignorant or just pretending? Don't you understand the historical situation in Leichakan? Are you even speaking human language? Every soldier who died in battle is a hero, and should be buried in their local Sacred Grounds, to be worshipped by future generations, so that people will remember the pain of war and pray for an early end to all wars. You are truly cold-blooded and heartless. How do you know whether every corpse or wounded person was killed or injured by an enemy infected with the Virus, or by weapons?]
[944L: Actually, what 942 said makes sense. Special cases should be analyzed in special ways. Keep moving potentially infected people or corpses back is not a good thing. It doesn't change anything and only increases the danger.]
[945L: What's the point of arguing about this? We should be urging the Federation Vaccine researchers who went to Leichakan to speed up Vaccine development.]
[946L: According to reliable internal sources, we are currently in the stage of extracting blood from Virus- infected individuals. Even if Qin Su goes, if he wants to, what else can he do besides violently crush them?]
[947L: Hey, have you guys forgotten that Qin Su and his family's technological capabilities far surpass those of the Federation? The Federation will need some time to develop Vaccine. Is it possible that Qin Su could arrive at a location, take one look, and immediately produce Vaccine?]
[948L:? Making a wish here? Although Qin Su is very strong, this is too outrageous. Do you guys think Qin Su is a real god or a turtle in a wishing well? (covers face and smiles bitterly)]
[949L: Suking is definitely right (shrug) (except for changing Wangba to Wugui)]
[950L! But is there a difference between changing a turtle to a tortoise? (scratching head) By the way, didn't you guys notice that the students in Class 6 of the Class of 26 are unusually quiet this time?]
Three more hours passed. During this time, Qin Su, who had been secretly observing in Leichakan, returned to the present world, retrieved Vaccine with a modified dosage based on the physique of the original inhabitants of the Comic World, and remotely anesthetized the target whose infection time was no more than two hours in a secluded place before injecting the Vaccine.
The injection was successful. After cleaning up all traces of his existence, Qin Su, who had been jumping back and forth between the two worlds for several hours and expending countless Life Points, finally got a brief respite from his distant, secret observation. He even had time to glance at what the netizens were talking about in the live chat.
Through the bullet comments, Qin Su followed the clues to a recent hot post that had already accumulated 999+ comments.
After browsing through Qin Su's profile, he asked, "?"
How do students manage to get the conclusion right 80-90% of the time even when the process is completely wrong?
--------!!--------
The reason I didn't update yesterday was because I ate too much pomelo and then super spicy snail rice noodles. When it got a little spicy, I ate frozen durian to cool it down. Afterwards, I felt dizzy, had diarrhea, and aches. The doctor said it's because pomelo is a cold food, and nobody would eat something so cold, spicy, sweet, and icy all at once [crying emoji]. This time, not only my mouth knows the full spectrum of flavors, but my body does too!
