Biomedical Science

"Eat."

Li Mu Chuan handed her a bowl of noodles, then began eating with relish.

Li Qingxiao glanced at Li Mu Chuan before lowering her head and eating carefully.

"Hey, you said before that you were a biomedical researcher. Have you invented any particularly amazing medicines or something?"

Seeing her start to eat, Li Mu Chuan began probing for information.

Li Qingxiao did not think much of it. After giving it some careful thought, she said, "Yes, but what kind are you referring to?"

Biomedical science encompassed far too much: biomedical information, gene chips, nanotechnology, new materials, and many other fields.

"Things like biopharmaceuticals. Do you have any?"

Li Mu Chuan thought about it. Medicine was certainly very profitable, and unlike certain advanced technologies, it was less likely to face technical barriers.

Just like the Future World Li Mu Chuan had visited last time, the technology there had been far too advanced. Even storage devices were no longer things like U disks.

Li Qingxiao gathered the hair before her forehead with her slender fingers. "The most famous one would probably be the Gene Immunity Serum. You should know about it, right?"

"This serum can effectively strengthen the human immune system. It was originally used to treat AIDS. AIDS destroys the human immune system, while this serum can effectively reinforce it."

"When I was tackling that problem, I developed this serum. Later, after testing it, I discovered that it was also extremely useful for ordinary people."

"The serum is equivalent to a temporary immune system Enhancement Injection. It can reduce the chance of getting sick for several years. Once the effects wear off, the serum needs to be injected again."

"The only drawback is that this serum can only be injected around ten times before it gradually loses its effectiveness, so it is generally recommended to take the injections in stages."

Li Mu Chuan listened at the side, dumbfounded. There was actually such an incredible serum?

"Besides that, I have conducted relatively in-depth research into genetic engineering, biomedical engineering, bioelectronics, neural engineering, and similar fields."

This woman was absolutely a top-tier expert!

Li Mu Chuan could not stop himself from being astonished as he looked at Li Qingxiao's utterly calm expression.

Li Qingxiao, however, did not think much about it and simply kept her head lowered as she quietly ate her noodles.

A moment later, Li Qingxiao suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Mu Chuan.

"Oh, right. Could you help me get a computer? I need one to assist with biological analysis. As long as I can develop the corresponding software and mathematical models on a computer, I should be able to develop the appropriate serum."

As she said this, Li Qingxiao looked a little embarrassed. Her legs were somewhat inconvenient, so she could only ask Li Mu Chuan for help.

Li Mu Chuan was completely convinced now. The person before him was a true giant in her field.

But as for a computer...

"There's no electricity right now. If you need a computer, you'll have to use backup power batteries, but batteries like that generally won't last very long."

Li Mu Chuan found himself in a difficult spot. Having no electricity was the worst.

"My small workbench has a backup power supply. It's enough to support a computer."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingxiao immediately spoke up.

Her workbench had a power supply, but she had never used it before. For one thing, she had been afraid that the light would attract the zombies' attention; for another, she had wanted to save it for emergencies.

Hearing that, Li Mu Chuan was immediately relieved.

"Alright. I'll help you get a computer tomorrow."

Li Mu Chuan agreed. When he had gone looking for food earlier, he had noticed a Computer City by the roadside.

As a man, when he saw digital products like those while searching for supplies, he naturally paid a little extra attention.

A brilliant smile appeared on Li Qingxiao's face, and what seemed like a glimmer of light flickered in her eyes. "Thank you!"

Li Mu Chuan waved a hand. After finishing his noodles, he chatted with her for a while longer.

Li Mu Chuan definitely could not join in when discussing professional knowledge with her, nor could he understand it, so he merely asked about some things that had happened to her before.

From Li Qingxiao's explanations, Li Mu Chuan also learned more information.

For instance, Li Qingxiao had come out this time specifically for the workbench in her hands.

Others did not recognize the workbench, and they were also unfamiliar with the biomedical Research Institute.

That was why Li Qingxiao had come out with the group. Previously, she had followed the group out several times to search for things she needed.

During those previous trips, they had not encountered much danger.

It was only this time that Li Qingxiao had been set up.

Li Mu Chuan could not help sighing as he listened. The commander of Blackstone Base had truly gone mad, actually scheming against someone like her.

But he probably felt that more than a year had passed, there were fewer and fewer people left, and less and less food to eat.

Under such oppressive circumstances, he had begun entertaining thoughts of monopolizing power.

The two chatted until late into the night. Li Mu Chuan checked once more that the door was securely shut before finally going to sleep in peace.

The next day.

After waking up, Li Mu Chuan used Mineral Water to wash up.

They had brought back quite a lot of Mineral Water, so using some to wash up was not too wasteful.

After casually eating a little, Li Mu Chuan got up and prepared to bring back a computer.

According to Li Qingxiao, the computer's components had to meet certain requirements, or it likely would not be able to run her software.

Li Qingxiao stood at the doorway, watching Li Mu Chuan prepare to leave. Her pearly teeth lightly bit her red lips.

"You have to come back alive."

She had many things she wanted to remind him of, but in the end, all she said was that he had to come back alive.

Li Mu Chuan nodded lightly, then walked out carrying his homemade weapon.

Li Qingxiao had not given Li Mu Chuan the gun. Using it would practically mean certain death.

Such a loud noise would only draw all the nearby zombies over.

Li Qingxiao had faced zombies before and knew full well that firing a gun when facing them was an extremely unwise choice.

Li Mu Chuan turned and left. Li Qingxiao watched him for a long time, only returning to her workbench and resuming her serious research after he had completely disappeared from sight.

After leaving the gold shop, Li Mu Chuan carefully headed forward. Based on the route he had scouted yesterday, there should not have been any zombies inside the Computer City.

If he could help her develop the serum, Li Mu Chuan felt that this trip through worlds would definitely earn him quite a few Interference Points.

That was also why Li Mu Chuan had agreed.

The streets were as they had always been. Aside from some rotting corpses, nearly everything in sight was cars that had crashed haphazardly into one another.

Inside some of the cars, bloodstains and corpses could even be seen.

It seemed that someone passing through here in the past had dealt with those zombies.

Li Mu Chuan walked along the street for a while before arriving beneath a sign that read Computer City.

By then, the sky was fully bright. Inside the brightly lit Computer City, there seemed to be no zombies in sight.
