Chapter 134 - 134 Awakened Vegetables
They filled the long dining table with all kinds of sumptuous food.
Steak, lamb chop, roast chicken, beef brisket with potato, Spain paella, cheese lobster…
Is this the standard of food in the apocalypse?
!!
Why did it seem better than what she usually ate?
Liu Shiyao was a little suspicious. Did the order of this world really collapse as Wang Ran said…
“What are you doing? Eat.”
Wang Ran directly threw an entire roast chicken onto Liu Shiyao’s plate.
Liu Shiyao swallowed her saliva. She hadn’t eaten well for two days, and she was indeed hungry…
‘Forget it, let’s just eat first.’
Liu Shiyao directly held the roast chicken and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
It was so fragrant!
After dinner, Liu Shiyao went to find Wang Ran.
“…I realized that the cell phone line and internet are gone.
“Do you have a satellite phone? Let me use it. ”
Liu Shiyao said, as she touched her round belly.
“Well, you could.
“But, I saved you and even let you use my facilities.
“Shouldn’t the country do something about the compensation?”
Wang Ran asked with a smile.
“Ah, don’t worry!
“As long as I can contact the organization, we will definitely give you a suitable reward.”
Liu Shiyao hiccuped.
She had eaten a little too much.
Wang Ran gestured to the girls, and someone quickly brought over a satellite phone.
Liu Shiyao nodded gratefully and took her phone to the side to make a call.
After a while, Liu Shiyao walked to Wang Ran’s side with a frown.
“No good?”
Wang Ran touched his chin.
If Liu Shiyao could not get to her people, he would have another mouth to feed.
“I got through…
“In China, there are two major biological research institutes in the north and south.
“The one in the south has fallen…
“The northern one is still hanging on.
“However, the government has been focusing on recovering their lost territory. They plan to raie a city-level survival base.
“They don’t have any manpower to take me there…
“The south has probably fallen because of the high temperature. The virus flourishes in that temperature and spreads faster, so the situation quickly grew out of control there.
“Some troops and local departments still have their hands full…
“It looks like… I’ll have to stay here for a while…”
Liu Shiyao was a little embarrassed.
Wang Ran sighed. As expected.
It seemed like he truly had to cope with another freeloader.
It was fine to let Liu Shiyao stay, but she had to play a role.
She was a biological researcher…
Biology!
“Ah! Oh, that’s right!
“Do you know anything about botany?”
Wang Ran’s eyes lit up.
He was planning to meddle with these Mutated Vegetables.
Perhaps Liu Shiyao was the most suitable candidate.
She was a researcher, after all.
“Plants? I understand a little…
“I worked with plants for two years.”
Liu Shiyao replied.
She faintly felt that Wang Ran was going to turn her into another labor force.
“That works.
“Come with me.”
Wang Ran brought Liu Shiyao to his Mutant Vegetable garden.
As soon as she got close, Liu Shiyao was so shocked that she couldn’t close her mouth.
They were unlike any other…
They were both abnormal in size and shape.
A tomato the size of a watermelon…
A cucumber as thick as an arm…
A pumpkin that was as flat as a wheel…
These vegetables were divided according to the degree of mutation according to the region, forming a very sharp contrast.
“Did you cultivate all of these?”
Liu Shiyao’s interest was piqued.
As a biology researcher, she had been studying the effects of viruses on living things.
However, she was not specialized in botany.
Now that she saw these vegetables, Liu Shiyao’s hunger as a scientist was immediately aroused.
“I watered the vegetables here with different concentrations of zombie blood.
“They have been divided by the concentration of blood.
“The fruits that grow here should be able to increase the strength of Awakened Ones if they eat them.
“However, I don’t dare to feed anyone with them yet. I’m still observing the situation.
“You see, if you’re staying here, you can’t just eat for free, right?
I’ll leave the task of researching and cultivating these vegetables to you. How about it? ”
Wang Ran said.
If these vegetables could be cultivated by a professional, they would be treasures in the apocalypse!
These vegetables would not only be mere food, they could be a currency…
He was definitely the richest man in an apocalyptic world!
“No problem!
“I can do this much!”
Liu Shiyao nodded.
This was her area of expertise.
Moreover, she disliked the idea of being a freeloader.
“I will need some equipment.
“The most basic ones are petri dishes, microscopes, test tubes, glass needles, and so on.
“Also, it’s best to get some centrifuge and specific reagents.
“I don’t know if the University has all these things, but a biotech company or laboratory should have them.
“Argh! Oh, that’s right!
“The southern laboratory is in J-city.
“200 kilometers.
“It may have fallen, but I’m sure it’s still salvageable.
“Do you think it’s convenient for you to make a trip there and bring back everything that you can use?”
Liu Shiyao suggested.
“That’s not a problem,”
“Now that we have the Mi-26, we can probably bring everything back in one trip.
“How about this, you come with me to J-city tomorrow. Just tell me what you need, and we’ll empty the laboratory.
Wang Ran smiled.
This was how a Vegetable Officer came to being.
It seemed that his mutant fruit and vegetable planting plan could be pushed forward smoothly.
After visiting the vegetable garden, Wang Ran asked Lin Momo to arrange a villa for Liu Shiyao.
“Sister Shiyao, remember to close your room door when you sleep at night.
“Otherwise, there might be some noise that will affect your sleep.”
Lin Momo reminded her.
“Alright…”
Liu Shiyao nodded.
The people here lived like royalty…
If it wasn’t for the fact that she had a mission to complete for the country, she really wanted to stay here.
She would settle in here for the time being. When the government could spare the manpower, she could continue her mission.
Liu Shiyao suddenly thought of the USB drive and the box that contained the formula.
She had to get this thing back quickly.
The research data was all in the USB drive!
Inside the box was the initial version of the antiviral vaccine that she had risked getting from the Institute, which was the key to researching the vaccine…
