MTLNOVEL Chapter 784: Serum Successfully Developed_2
Although the victory was hard-fought, a win is a win. If they encounter a Level 5 Monster Lord in the wild in the future, they don't have to run away anymore.
"Everyone did a great job, go back and have a good rest."
Wang Tao smiled and then let the Golden Eagle fly back to Changhe Base.
As soon as he landed, he saw someone waiting at his doorstep.
"Hmm? Is there something you need?"
The person was wearing a badge from the Hope Research Institute, clearly someone from the institute.
Seeing Wang Tao return, he quickly spoke respectfully:
"Mr. Wang, Professor Qu asked me to wait here for you. If you have time, please make sure to come to the institute."
"Qu Shilin is looking for me? When did you get here?"
Wang Tao raised an eyebrow. Ever since Qu Shilin arrived at Changhe Base, she mostly stayed in the lab and only called him for good news!
"I just got here less than five minutes ago..."
The person quickly replied.
It was quite a coincidence too. He found no one home and was about to leave a message in the mailbox when Wang Tao returned.
"Alright, I'm heading over now."
Wang Tao nodded, he turned to tell Han Rui and the others to rest well. He himself flew directly to the Hope Research Institute.
"Shilin, you were looking for me?"
Seeing Wang Tao arrive, Qu Shilin immediately broke into a smile. And when she smiled, Wang Tao also smiled. Clearly, more good news was on the way.
"I have good news, can you guess what it is?"
Qu Shilin ran over and naturally hugged Wang Tao's arm.
Seeing Qu Shilin's radiant smile, Wang Tao raised his eyebrow and said:
"Could it be that you've developed the serum?"
"Congratulations, you guessed right!"
The smile on Qu Shilin's face became even more brilliant.
"It's actually been developed!"
Wang Tao knew this day would come, but when it did, he was still very excited.
After all, this was a serum capable of eradicating the Zombie Virus!
With this serum, mankind no longer fears the Zombie Virus!
Wang Tao instinctively hugged Qu Shilin back, then lowered his head and gave her a hard kiss on the forehead.
Qu Shilin instantly turned beet red.
Although she believed Wang Tao was her husband in a past life and she still calls him husband, in this life they weren't very familiar, and she didn't have many memories of Wang Tao in her mind. Such an intimate gesture naturally made her a bit embarrassed. However, she wasn't against it.
"People are watching!"
Qu Shilin, a bit embarrassed, buried her head in Wang Tao's chest.
"Kissing one's own wife is perfectly justified!"
Though Wang Tao said that, he did let go of Qu Shilin.
"Come, I'll show you the serum! As soon as we developed it, I had someone notify you. We haven't had a chance to test it yet..."
Qu Shilin held Wang Tao's hand and led him to a room.
At that moment, the room was filled with people gathered around a display case, excitedly discussing something.
In the display case were ten bottles of golden potion. Seeing this familiar potion, Wang Tao started to smile again.
It looked exactly like the Zombie Virus Potion he had seen in his previous life!
"Mr. Wang, you're here!"
Someone noticed Wang Tao's arrival and quickly greeted him.
Upon hearing, the others also hurriedly spoke up, all of them showing great respect towards Wang Tao.
The respect others had for Wang Tao might have been due to his formidable strength, but for this group of researchers, it was different. They respected his character, wisdom, and foresight.
As for the reason, it was simple. When Qu Shilin gathered them to research the Zombie Virus serum, she told them that Wang Tao provided critical information for this research and supported them fully.
If it weren't for Wang Tao, they wouldn't even be able to create the Zombie Virus Vaccine, let alone the serum.
Thus, the successful development of the Zombie Virus serum was a contribution from both Wang Tao and Qu Shilin! Without them, there would be no serum!
Wang Tao was unaware of these details, so he was momentarily puzzled by their looks until Qu Shilin whispered an explanation in his ear.
Wang Tao had not intended to claim credit. He no longer needed nor cared for such recognition. But since Qu Shilin had chosen Wang Tao as her husband, she naturally didn't want to enjoy the glory alone. She wanted the world to remember Wang Tao's name and for those using the serum to know whom to thank. Therefore, she emphasized that without Wang Tao, both the vaccine and the serum could not have been made.
"Thank you!"
Wang Tao thanked Qu Shilin. Whether he needed the recognition or not, Qu Shilin was acting in his best interest, and he appreciated it.
"Hehe, no need to be polite among ourselves!"
Qu Shilin giggled, then hurriedly pulled Wang Tao to the golden serum to briefly explain.
"We've only made ten doses of serum so far, but once we ensure there are no major issues, mass production can begin immediately! We've had the raw materials prepared for a while, and the production line is ready to go!"
Hearing this, everyone else became very excited.
Prior inhibitors or vaccines were merely temporary measures and didn't truly resolve the Zombie Virus. But the serum was different. Even if a human had turned into a zombie, as long as it wasn't for too long, the serum could still save them!
Only with the serum could they truly say they weren't afraid of the Zombie Virus!
The thought of mass-producing this, and air-dropping it across the country, filled their hearts with excitement. They had been working tirelessly day and night for this very day!
"Let's proceed with the tests now."
Wang Tao said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Qu Shilin immediately nodded.
As Wang Tao and the team stepped out the lab's door, they saw Gu Yun arriving hurriedly with a group. Among them were City Hall officials, Military Generals, and Cheng Yiyi.
"Is the serum really developed?!"
Gu Yun had clearly come at the first sign of the news.
However, since Qu Shilin first informed Wang Tao, and only dispatched someone to notify City Hall after he arrived, Gu Yun and the others were a bit later.
"Yes, it's developed. We were just about to find you. You're just in time, please prepare some volunteers."
Wang Tao said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Gu Yun acted quickly. Upon hearing the news, he immediately sent people to find volunteers. With high rewards, brave volunteers were sure to step forward. By the time Wang Tao and the others arrived at City Hall, the volunteers were already there waiting.
"Having flying mounts certainly speeds things up!"
Gu Yun marveled, noting how these mounts were more effective than airplanes. As soon as they identified volunteers within the city, they sent people on flying mounts to bring them over.
There were only five volunteers here, and the testing was quite straightforward and direct—zombie virus was prepared, and they were injected with it in succession before administering the serum.
As for the remaining five bottles of serum, Wang Tao planned to use them on some zombies outside the city. The Zombie Virus serum could not only save those infected by the virus, but it could also turn zombies back into humans! However, this was only effective for those who had been turned into zombies for less than seven days.
Every day, many people ventured out from Changhe Base. Even with vaccines available, some still got infected and eventually became zombies.
Some people couldn't bear to kill their companions, so they left the infected to fend for themselves outside. Thus, finding a few zombies who had been turned for less than seven days wasn't difficult.
By now, the volunteers had already been injected with the Zombie Virus,
one person was unlucky. Just two minutes later, many zombie traits appeared on his body, and he was about to turn into a zombie.
But once the golden serum was injected into his body, in less than ten seconds, the zombie traits gradually disappeared, and he returned to normal, falling into unconsciousness.
"It's a success!"
Seeing this, everyone applauded.
Wang Tao also let out a sigh of relief.
In this life, just two months or so after the Apocalypse began, the Zombie Virus serum had already been developed!
