Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 264 - 231 Biochemical Research Layer_2

KIKI quickly operated the mobile terminal, and the research lab’s access control was unlocked. Lin Xian rushed inside and began scanning with the Mechanical Heart.

Only after scanning could he understand the overall system of the life-saving surgical medical cabin. If the equipment was in good condition, he could directly take it back, as it wouldn’t be difficult to transport it with the building and KIKI’s help, saving him the trouble of manufacturing it.

"I might need about 30 minutes."

Lin Xian turned to the others, "Search other areas, stay safe; there may be Abnormal Bodies here."

"Got it."

KIKI clapped her hands, "Speaking of which, there are quite a few good things here. If you can’t take them, you can devour them instead."

Lin Xian nodded, "That’s what I thought too, but first we need to ensure there’s no trouble. With the lake water flooding in, we should only take what we can safely carry."

"Then we need to go to other floors." KIKI frowned at the mobile terminal, "Look, there’s a specialized weapons equipment area on the 5th floor, and the 9th floor, which we’ve been to before, seems to be the main floor. There’s such a large research hall; there might be many good things there."

Lin Xian knew KIKI was keen on getting a mecha back, so he said to Shu Qin and Daluo, "Alright, the three of you go together to the 9th floor. Director Ding will stay here. Let’s not spread out too much. If we confirm the life-saving surgical medical cabin is fine in about 30 minutes, we’ll take it first, avoiding abandoning the main goal."

"You’re being too cautious now." KIKI squinted and smiled, "I haven’t seen any Monsters in the surveillance; I reckon even if there are any, they’d be in the water below."

Lin Xian gave her a hard look, "Hurry up and go, less chatter, stay safe."

As for scavenging resources, Lin Xian now had a very clear guideline: the main goal must be secured first before addressing secondary ones. Delving into unknown areas could lead to many changes, and greed often leads to big trouble.

This life-saving surgical medical cabin had been on Lin Xian’s mind for a long time. Previously, they relied on bandages for major and minor injuries. Fortunately, except for KIKI’s incident, there hadn’t been any severely injured members in the team, but this issue had been hanging over Lin Xian.

He knew many convoy members were injured, besides considering the issue of dark invasion, which posed a significant burden on the convoy’s operations and treatment. It’s not a trivial problem.

If they got this on board, Teacher Chen and Miao Lu wouldn’t have to rush around bandaging the injured.

"Alright, be careful yourself~"

Lin Xian nodded and saw the three preparing to leave, suddenly called out to Daluo.

"Daluo."

"Hey, Brother Xian, what’s up?" Daluo turned back.

Lin Xian said, "There should be Hua Xiaoling’s office on the 9th floor; see if you can find some tea to take back for Brother Huo."

"Oh, alright." Daluo nodded.

After they left, Lin Xian focused on using the Mechanical Heart to start scanning.

[Scanning target, progress 15%]

Left behind, Ding Junyi began to get busy, seemingly unspoken, with a somber expression, continuously picking up scattered research materials and started flipping through them.

She seemed interested in the pieces scattered across the hall, the corridors, and even those that entered the shredder.

Before long, she had stacked a pile of various materials, and her face became increasingly solemn.

Observing Ding Junyi’s expression, Lin Xian noticed something. Director Ding seldom showed overly exaggerated expressions; even when surrounded by zombies and Abnormal Bodies on the train, she remained calm. The gravity on her face was entirely different this time.

"What’s wrong, Director Ding, did you find something?"

Lin Xian asked, seeing her pacing around.

He brought Ding Junyi here for this purpose because Lin Xian suspected the station’s bait marker might have been Hua Xiaoling’s work, so he wanted to investigate the institute to see if the Foundation had research in this area.

Ding Junyi didn’t speak. Her speed of flipping through the documents increased, her chest heaving, eyes flickering. After a while, she looked at Lin Xian with astonished eyes.

"Strangely enough, I wasn’t surprised they used live subjects for experiments, but why was the GH tumor cell catalysis project initiated 10 years ago?"

Lin Xian was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"GH tumor cells are a common human tissue extracted from zombies and Superpower Users by the Federation after the apocalyptic event. It’s currently one of the directions of research on the biological tissue mutation during dark invasion. In our night experiments, we catalyze the living experimental body in a specific way to obtain validation data. But the problem is..."

Ding Junyi raised a piece of shredded paper: "This report mentioning GH tumor cells is from 2059."

Lin Xian’s eyes narrowed: "You mean the Foundation started night research 10 years ago?"

Ding Junyi shook her head, "I’m not certain about that." She looked at the shredded and pieced-together documents in her hand, her eyes showing a rational shock.

"The full picture of this document isn’t visible; it might just be a printing error with the date..."

Lin Xian felt a huge shock internally.

Printing error with the date? Perhaps.

But Ding Junyi also mentioned that many projects in the institution were far ahead, even beyond the Federation and the Phoenix Society, which inevitably raised doubts.

How can a Foundation Organization possess scientific prowess stronger than the last rescue organization assembled by the world’s surviving nations?

It’s really incredible.

But the appearance of that bait marker made Lin Xian very suspicious. If considered from this perspective, could someone have anticipated the apocalyptic event ahead of time?

Thinking of this, Lin Xian felt a chill down his spine. He looked up, exchanging gazes with Ding Junyi.

Both saw a hint of disbelief in each other’s eyes.

He knew Ding Junyi was also trying to use her emotions to suppress her rational thinking, even though she didn’t possess an emotional gene...

"One thing can be affirmed."

Ding Junyi raised her glasses and looked at the biochemical research level where they were, speaking, "The Foundation’s scientific prowess is no worse than the Federation and Phoenix Society, or maybe they chose the correct research direction from the start and poured in resources."

Lin Xian looked at her, "Do you believe what you just said?"

Although Lin Xian was only at college level, he was certainly no match for Ding Junyi in terms of knowledge. But he also knew that no scientific research is correct from the start, from theory to experiment, from experiment to application, none of which hasn’t faced countless barriers.

Modern scientific development has reached the boundary. A new human learning from 0 to 1 inevitably takes about 40 years or so, and the occasional genius might push this boundary outward a little, but the remaining 99% of scientific researchers continue to seek truth through countless experiments.

Deciding on a research direction from the start and investing heavily only has two possibilities.

Gambler or conman.

Ding Junyi didn’t answer him, lowered her head at the research documents in her hand, saying, "I have to take these back, oh, and these..."

Saying so, she started frantically collecting various scattered documents from the ground, extracting potentially useful information from them and carefully gathering them.

[Scan successful, obtained the design of Weichuang No. 1 life-saving surgical medical cabin]

[Body scanned successfully, no malfunction detected.]

Seeing the screen ahead, Lin Xian refocused attention, relaxing slightly.

He pressed down on the communicator: "KIKI, Daluo, Shu Qin, I’m done here. How’s your side?"

"Lin Xian!"

At that time, KIKI’s urgent voice came through the communicator: "Quick! Come to the 9th floor!"

"We found something good!"
