Home/ Stopping the Handsome and Tragic Male Lead After 404/ Chapter 41 (Part 1)
The research that Fu Xuzhou wants to do is actually similar to that of Dr. Tang and his team, both of which involve taking a small amount of samples for testing and experimentation.
Soon there will be nothing to do with Shi Qin. Instead, Cheng Yu was tirelessly concerned with this research, trying to find a way to restore Shi Qin.
Unfortunately, Shi Qin’s body is really nothing special except for the different virus activity, and it’s not even as valuable as mutated corpses when it comes to research purposes.
Of course, Fu Xuzhou won’t give up easily, and he firmly continued to dig for clues.
The three of them stayed in the laboratory for one day. On the second day, the situation continued. Fu Miao got angry at Fu Xuzhou again, but Fu Xuzhou remained silent and didn’t say anything to her.
On the bottom floor, Cheng Yu came out of the weapon warehouse and picked out some suitable self-defense weapons for Shi Qin. Seeing him sitting in front of Shao Yan in a daze, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I always feel that…he seems to be much quieter than ordinary zombies, and…the breath on his body is also different.”
Shao Yan was a young man in his twenties. As a former firefighter, his figure was absolutely indescribable, he looked very eye-catching with imposing eyebrows. If he was still a normal person, he would be a regular sunny man with a cropped head and exquisite facial features. All in all, he looked very masculine, who could provide people a sense of security.
Although his eyes were already those of a zombie, one could imagine those eyes full of sunshine when he smiled.
Cheng Yu looked at Shao Yan and furrowed his brows slightly. After taking a closer look, he also felt that it was a bit different.
“What does he really eat? If he doesn’t eat all the time, he will be in a state of extreme hunger, and he won’t be so quiet.” Even if he can’t smell human breath through the diving equipment, he won’t be so quiet.
Fu Xuzhou raised his head from the research and said, “I haven’t given him anything to eat, except for the blood transfusion.”
Both Cheng Yu and Shi Qin looked at Fu Xuzhou in surprise.
Fu Xuzhou explained that he would collect the blood of the awakened people who come to ask him for help. In fact, it was somewhat similar to the experiment at the Huofeng Base, but he was against that method at that time. However, that changed when he met two strange people a year ago.
About a year ago, an ordinary human and an awakened person came to him. They already knew that Fu Xuzhou had a masking agent in his hand, and they wanted to use it on the awakened person.
At that time, after many ups and downs and much research, there were only the last two bottles of the masking agent left, and Fu Xuzhou was actually not willing to give it to them.
That Awakened person was very strange, both of his eyes were always bright red, which seems to be his normal state, but this kind of situation only appears in the dead Awakened or Awakened Tyrant, and that man didn’t belong to either of those categories.
Fu Xuzhou wanted to study him, but the other party disagreed, so Fu Xuzhou wanted to force the other party to submit like he tried this time, but history tends to repeat itself. Who made Fu Xuzhou not have any strong guards around him?
However, the other party still didn’t make things difficult for Fu Xuzhou, but kindly provided him with better information in exchange for the masking agent, and they didn’t even have the idea of robbing him by force, so they got along very harmoniously afterwards.
It’s just that when Fu Xuzhou talked about “getting along harmoniously”, his expression was a little strange, and his brows twitched unconsciously, as if recalling some unbearable past events.
One of the information the man provided was the way to deal with the mutated corpses. At that time, a mutated corpse already appeared in this city and it was very difficult to kill. Although Fu Xuzhou stayed in a safe place, due to the presence of that corpse, he couldn’t go out and others couldn’t come in, which was very troublesome.
The man told him that as long as the crystal nucleus is removed while the corpse is seriously injured, it could be completely destroyed. The man also asked his companion to demonstrate it once, and the crystal nucleus was collected by them.
Fu Xuzhou knew about the existence of mutated corpses, but he was completely unaware of the existence of crystal nuclei. He had tried to study them, but his abilities and equipment were limited, so he gave up.
After that, he would collect those crystal nuclei whenever he encountered them for emergency use.
The second thing that the man told him is that the mutated corpse is a combination of human and animal genes, so it will mutate in an unstable way and become a monster afterwards. He once researched that if a zombie is continuously fed with the blood of the same type, it will not become a mutated corpse, but a higher level of existence that can gradually lose his instinct of zombie. Even if it won’t turn into an Awakened, you can still try to train and control it, but it all depends on luck.
Although it sounds unreliable, Fu Xuzhou chose to believe it.
“Did you give him a blood transfusion? You are so bold, aren’t you afraid that he will turn into a monster like a mutated corpse?” Shi Qin exclaimed in surprise.
“At that time, I was at the end of my rope and had no other choice. That man should also be a researcher, much better than me in this area. He and his companion stayed with me to transfuse blood into Shao Yan’s body. But after a few months, except for Shao Yan becoming a little quieter, his other attributes were still like the other zombies. When they saw that there was no result, they left.”
“Isn’t it like using Shao Yan as an experimental product.” Shi Qin said speechlessly.
Fu Xuzhou nodded. In fact, he is not stupid, but he was just confused because he cared too much. He was fooled into believing that this kind of wild theory was really feasible.
“He said that he had tried several times before, but had no results, so he didn’t have the patience to try anymore. However, it left me with a bit of trouble.”
Shi Qin really held his breath when he heard this. This research idea is very powerful. There are indeed such zombies in the original text, but I don’t know if they were created in this way. They are called high-level zombies, also known as humanoid mutated zombies, and it is very difficult to create them.
These kinds of high-level zombies have some intelligence, they can also recognize a master, and pronounce some monosyllabic words. In the future, the male lead will also have one under his command. It would be super skilled at fighting and will be able to tear apart other corpses with its bare hands.
Although Shi Qin didn’t read how the male protagonist subdued that corpse, or anything else about it’s origin, he had seen the related fan art.
It was a male figure with a size three to four times that of a normal man, with only one eye and a human skeleton inlaid behind its body for decoration. Holding a bloody human head in one hand and a beating heart in the other, it looked like a brutal scene of someone carrying a white human skeleton that has just been slaughtered. This high-level zombie was given the title of “Bone Corpse”.
Although it looked very scary, it was very much in line with the identity of the male protagonist at that time. After all, the villainous male protagonist can’t always be surrounded by good-looking guys.
I don’t know if this bone corpse has been cultivated yet, huh?
Wait……
If we follow the general routine of the novel world… Shi Qin gaze swept towards Shao Yan, it wouldn’t be such a coincidence, right? Has Heavenly Dao come again to give the male lead a golden finger?
No, no, no, this Shao Yan is a handsome guy, which is very inconsistent with the description in the picture. Moreover, Fu Xuzhou keeps such a strict eye on him, so how could he…
Just as he was thinking wildly, he heard Fu Xuzhou say to Cheng Yu: “Try to control him.”
Shi Qin: …..
Cheng Yu also wanted to give it a try, so he tried to give Shao Yan an order. His eyes were already red, but Shao Yan didn’t respond at all.
Cheng Yu frowned slightly.
Shi Qin asked suspiciously: “Is it not working again?”
Suddenly, Cheng Yu looked at Shi Qin, and Shi Qin froze. He directly walked towards Cheng Yu and hugged him.
Fu Xuzhou was dumbfounded as he watched from the side.
In the next second, Shi Qin regained his freedom and quickly let go, taking a step back, “What are you doing?”
“Trying to see if it works, it just doesn’t work on him.”
Shi Qin: …Then why do you want to hug?
Fu Xuzhou coughed and said, “It’s not that it doesn’t work. You and Yang Ping can only make him quiet. This is what I discovered after those two people left. Before the blood transfusion, although Shao Yan was noisy, generally when the awakened people who could control the zombies came, they could control him and make him obedient. However, after the blood transfusion, even a skilled awakened person like Yang Ping could only make him quiet, but cannot control what he does, so I can only keep him tied up.”
“The research didn’t succeed, on the contrary, it got stuck.” Shi Qin complained.
“I can feel the presence of a barrier in his mind, which is probably the reason.”
“So I don’t have a barrier?”
Cheng Yu smiled slightly, “Free entry and exit, without any obstruction.”
Shi Qin twitched his lips, “Do I also need blood transfusions to build a barrier? I don’t want to be controlled all the time.”
Seeing Cheng Yu looking over, Shi Qin added: “You can control it, but others can’t.”
Cheng Yu raised the corner of his mouth. “I also don’t want you to be controlled by others.”
Fu Xuzhou coughed again, and gave the two of them a strange look.
Shi Qin looked over and asked, “Is it possible?”
“You… probably can’t.” Fu Xuzhou said.
“Ah?”
“Is it because of a special blood type?” Cheng Yu asked.
Fu Xuzhou nodded.
