287 A New Research Institute

Wang Ran brought Su Xiaoyu and Tang Tang back to Eastlake Island.

In terms of comfort, no place could compare to the island.

After relaxing for a while, Wang Ran went to search for Liu Shiyao.

“You’re finally back!

“You’ve been gone for almost ten days!”

Liu Shiyao’s black stockings matched her white coat, and she exuded the charm of a mature woman.

Moreover, she especially enjoyed the feeling of her clean white coat being dirtied by mud.

Wang Ran smiled and pushed Liu Shiyao into the large shed.

“This time, I’ve brought back quite a few helpers for you,” Wang Ran said with a smile.

“Helpers?

“Don’t tell me… Did you wipe out the entire company’s laboratory?!” Liu Shiyao asked in surprise.

“You guessed it.

“I’ve brought back all the researchers and equipment.

“I plan to set up a laboratory near Ningbo‑Zhoushan.

“Everyone’s equipment and resources will be at your disposal.

“You can go ahead and check them out,” Wang Ran said, while tearing the black silk.

“Oh my God…

“I’m not dreaming, am I?!”

Liu Shiyao felt a great sense of satisfaction.

As a top researcher, nothing was more touching than giving her a laboratory like this.

Liu Shiyao threw her glasses away, tied her hair up, and pounced on Wang Ran…

It went on for an hour.

“Oh, right, what have you learned about the bugs?” Wang Ran asked as he touched Liu Shiyao’s shoulder.

“Those guys…

“They’re truly the antithesis of the zombie virus.

“When they suck in the virus, they will release a substance that will gather all the viruses at the spot they suck in.

“When this happens, the zombies that were originally propped up by the virus will start to fail and gradually die off.

“Awakened Ones will not die, but as the virus within them gets consumed, they lose all their powers.

“The most terrifying thing is that this situation is irreversible.

“Once an Awakened One is bitten by an insect, he will become an ordinary human.

“The liquid left in the human body by the insects will produce an immune system that suppresses the survival of the zombie virus.

“In other words, the person who is bitten, will never have the chance to become an Awakened One again.

“It’s even scarier for zombies. They’ll straight up die,” Liu Shiyao explained.

“F*ck, that’s not good…”

No wonder Ah Yu’s village did not have a single Awakened One.

They did not have to fear turning into zombies, but they would also lose the ability to awaken.

“This insect is bad news. If we get careless, Xiaoyu and the others would get caught up in it.

“The laboratory must be far away from the island… Let’s set it up at Ningbo‑Zhoushan.

“You can get Jiaxin or the sea monster to send you to and from work every day,” Wang Ran said, after some thought.

The zombies that had been treated by his body fluid were different from ordinary zombies, and Wang Ran did not dare to take the risk.

His zombie followers were so cute and obedient. Wang Ran could not bear to see them get hurt.

The sky gradually darkened.

Since he had to go out again tomorrow, Wang Ran decisively gathered all the girls on the island and held a pool party.

While relying on his powerful strength, Wang Ran was never defeated…

At dawn, Wang Ran and Liu Shiyao took the Black Hawk to Ningbo‑Zhoushan. Tang Tang was the pilot.

At Ningbo‑Zhoushan, after an entire night’s work of thousands of people transporting and calculating the goods, the entire port’s supplies had been sorted out.

As soon as Wang Ran landed, Wu Jianguo came up to him.

As an Awakened One, pulling all-nighters was nothing. He still looked very energetic.

“Boss, Ningbo‑Zhoushan is insane!”

There were originally tens of thousands of containers here. Although there was no food, there were quite a lot of resources.

“Clothes, sneakers, daily necessities, and so on.

“I’ve saved this pair of limited edition AJ1s for you!”

Wu Jianguo handed over a pair of sneakers.

Wang Ran took a look and laughed.

“These shoes were sent from PT-city, right?” Wang Ran asked with a smile.

“Hey, Boss, you’re really amazing.”

Wu Jianguo nodded his head.

“Oh, wait…”

Wu Jianguo had also realized the problem.

“It’s fine. Modern replicas are often better than the real thing. At least, the soles stick on.

“Nowadays, who still cares if it’s authentic or not?”

Wang Ran gladly accepted the shoes.

“The Arizona still looks pretty beat-up. I don’t think I can trust it in the ocean.

“Clean it up. We’ll use it as stationary artillery.

“Also, set up a few sniping points near the dock.

“This will be our future resource transfer station,” Wang Ran ordered him.

“Boss, don’t worry. Repairing a ship is probably the same as repairing a car. Just on a much larger, thicker scale. The amount of metal on these guys are just… Well, I’ll just do some research,” Wu Jianguo patted his chest and said.

“We could do that. Also, get me a piece of land near the port and set up a laboratory.

“Let’s use the containers to build it. No need to be fancy.”

“Where are the researchers?” Wang Ran asked.

“I got some shipping containers for them to live in as temporary dormitories.

“Boss, I’ll take you there.”

Wu Jianguo brought Wang Ran and the others to a container area.

“Uncle, a container!

“Do you still remember when we…”

Tang Tang winked at Wang Ran.

“Of course I remember. You f*cking squeezed me dry, ten times in a single night.”

Wang Ran smiled.

“What do you mean, me, squeeze you dry?

“I thought I was dreaming!”

Tang Tang’s face turned red.

“If you want to relive it later, sure. First, let’s get down to business.”

Wang Ran patted Tang Tang’s head.

“You white-coated rats, come on out!”

Wu Jianguo knocked on the container with an iron bar.

Soon, more than a hundred researchers came out, one after another.

There used to be more than two hundred of them, but when they were at sea, some of the vulnerable researchers unfortunately became food for the zombies.

The bald doctor stood at the front, and when he saw Liu Shiyao, he came up to her.

“Researcher Liu!

“Long time no see!

“Your research results at Branch One have been amazing. I’ve admired you for a long time!”

The bald doctor had a good head on his shoulders. He immediately understood the situation and immediately went up to flatter Liu Shiyao.

“From today onwards, all of you will work under me.

“The conditions here aren’t too bad. Food, accommodation, and security are included.

“If you perform well and get Shiyao’s approval, I can let you leave this place.

“If you don’t perform well…”

Wang Ran smiled.

The researchers were all shocked.

Who would dare to slack off… Isn’t it good to be alive…

“Jianguo, put a collar bomb on them.

“If I remember correctly, it will automatically explode if it’s ten kilometers away from the remote control.

“Don’t even think about running away with our secrets,” Wang Ran said with a smile.

The researchers trembled again.

Of course, they knew these collar bombs very well. They had used them on disobedient zombies.

Now, it was their turn…
