The Apothecary Lab in the Apocalypse

These doubts couldn't be answered before meeting the rescue team.

"One step at a time. My development in this doomsday world isn't slow."

"According to the current plan, the over three hundred survivors from Modu (Shanghai) University will soon possess combat power on par with M-level individuals."

"Compared to the rescue team's engagement with the giant Zombie I witnessed earlier, the strength of the Magic University survivor settlement might even surpass the city's official forces."

In the doomsday world, the most crucial elements are power and armament.

Lin Qi is ensuring the forces under his command acquire these.

The technology of Cyber World will experience a rapid boom in the doomsday world.

He looked up at the scarlet moon hanging high in the sky, a flicker of an inexplicable light in his eyes.

If that planet-sized extraordinary creature were to die, would it leave behind an extremely high-level Extraordinary Item?

"If I continue to develop step by step, I'll eventually reach the cap for the Wizard profession in this doomsday world."

Lin Qi's vision for the future didn't last long. Facing the troubles upon returning to Cyber World was what Lin Qi needed to consider now.

He piloted the mecha, aiming the carriage at the second floor.

Entering the building from the second floor would minimize trouble caused by Zombie.

Lifting a centrifuge, Lin Qi said to the two unfortunate survivors, "The survivor settlement is on the sixth floor. Hold on a bit longer, and follow me upstairs."

The two unfortunate souls were quite weak, and Lin Qi didn't expect them to help carry the equipment.

"Okay."

The two survivors' will to live was quite strong, and they followed Lin Qi all the way to the sixth floor.

As soon as Lin Qi arrived, Wang Ziru came up to him, "Boss, did you go to move equipment?"

Lin Qi nodded slightly. There was no need to hide his research in pharmacology in this doomsday world.

"Is there more equipment? Do you need me to arrange some people to help? The first batch of Exoskeleton has been manufactured. Due to material limitations within the building, there aren't many batteries. Currently, only five sets are usable."

Wang Ziru was very enthusiastic and eager to share Lin Qi's burdens.

"Already manufactured? That's quite efficient."

Lin Qi praised Wang Ziru's efficiency.

Although the design blueprints were complete, and the production equipment had been modified while Lin Qi was building the mecha, being able to complete the first batch of Exoskeleton in half a day indicated that Wang Ziru had allocated tasks reasonably, and the Magic University students were capable.

"The equipment is on the second floor. Help me move it to the room next to the experimental carriage."

"Also, these two are a bit weak, so take good care of them."

After giving instructions, Lin Qi carried the centrifuge back to his private room.

Inside the room, Xia Chu had placed a blanket on the floor and was resting with her eyes closed.

Hearing the sound of the Door, she immediately woke up, " Lin Qi, you're back."

Seeing that it was Lin Qi, Xia Chu finally relaxed.

"This is... a centrifuge?"

Recognizing the equipment Lin Qi brought back, Xia Chu curiously asked, "Why do you need a centrifuge for mechanical research?"

Lin Qi replied, "Machinery is too simple, lacking challenge. I want to try biology."

Lin Qi's expression was confident, but Xia Chu rolled her eyes and didn't say anything further.

"As long as you're happy."

After saying this, Xia Chu sat down in a chair.

Tilting her head, Xia Chu gazed at Lin Qi's face for a long time.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Lin Qi asked.

Xia Chu shook her head and looked out the window again, " Lin Qi, are we safe now?"

Lin Qi replied without hesitation, "With the current strength of the Zombie, as long as we don't encounter monsters capable of wiping out rescue teams, we are temporarily out of danger."

Hearing this, Xia Chu suddenly showed sadness, " Lin Qi, I miss home."

Homesickness was an emotion that no one far from home could escape.

When the apocalypse first broke out, individuals were in danger and had no time to think about their distant hometowns and families.

But after the surrounding environment became safe, the longing would erupt uncontrollably.

Lin Qi remained silent for a moment.

The Lin Qi of the parallel world was not an orphan; like Xia Chu, he had parents waiting for him in a faraway homeland.

Lin Qi couldn't empathize.

Lin Qi also cared about his family, but his family was in Cyber World, not here.

Watching Xia Chu shed tears, Xia Chu at this moment logically needed a hug, a harbor for refuge.

But...

The door was knocked, and a voice came from outside: "Boss, we've brought the equipment for you."

Wang Ziru's voice came in, which helped Lin Qi out of his predicament.

Xia Chu wiped away her tears and went to open the door herself.

"Just arrange the equipment in order."

Although the room was small, it was designed as a laboratory, and there were enough power outlets.

Even if there was a power outage in the future, Lin Qi could modify the circuits to use a reactor for power.

Several survivors wearing brand-new exoskeletons walked into the room one after another and placed the equipment.

"Boss, there are a few more in the carriage, we'll make another trip."

After Wang Ziru stated what he was about to do, he immediately left the room, appearing decisive.

The room was once again left with only Lin Qi and Xia Chu.

Xia Chu seemed to have returned to her usual state: "Can I help?"

Lin Qi nodded. It wasn't that Lin Qi was comforting Xia Chu; she could genuinely help.

Even in the Cyber World, M-level pharmacology research was infinitely close to brute-force enumeration, requiring many tasks.

With Xia Chu's help, Lin Qi's work efficiency would be much higher.

Lin Qi even needed a few college students familiar with laboratory operations to assist him.

He briefly explained the experimental steps and objectives to Xia Chu.

"The equipment this time is mainly for pharmacological research."

"It's not medicine in the traditional sense, but medicine made with extraordinary materials."

"I found that Crimson Crystal has an upper limit on human enhancement. After reaching the limit, the effect will drastically decrease."

"The medicine is to improve..."

He didn't explain too many detailed technicalities.

Even if Lin Qi brought out those basic pharmacology books from the Cyber World, others wouldn't be able to understand them in a short time.

Not everyone had the smart brain of a Wizard profession.

No, it wasn't that the Wizard profession's brain was smart, but that Lin Qi's first Wizard ability, Psychic Vision, had an exaggerated effect on brain development.

"To summarize, we need to find suitable materials for making medicine through brute-force enumeration in a short period and achieve the effect of the medicine on humans above First Rank strength."

After the research outline was explained, Wang Ziru also brought people to move all the equipment.

Lin Qi once again instructed Wang Ziru, requiring him to lead people in rescue operations today while collecting specified medicines and supplies, and also asked Wang Ziru to arrange for several assistants to come to the laboratory.

With all arrangements completed, the sky had already begun to brighten.

"Try to improve your physical fitness a bit more before returning to the Cyber World. Even a tiny improvement might become a lifesaver in a crisis."
