Chapter 262 The Abandoned Cannon Fodder Beauty in the Apocalypse (51)
Lin Yu just stared blankly, then stopped breathing.
"Brother..."
Lin Yuan looked at Lin Yu, his eyes reddening, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and the veins on his arms bulged slightly.
The moment Lin Yu died, Lin Yuan regained his senses completely.
He recalled everything that had happened before, realizing that he had been controlled by a monster that had taken over his brother's body for so long, and that it had even hurt so many innocent people.
Most importantly, this monster killed his beloved brother.
He stared at Lin Yu's corpse, and tears finally welled up in his eyes, silently sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the dusty ground, leaving small wet streaks.
The mission "Kill Zombie King Lin Yuan" is complete.
Shen Chumo only breathed a sigh of relief after Tuanzi reminded him that the mission was complete; the zombie king was indeed him.
Shen Chumo added the spiritual spring water to the X-01 reagent and directly synthesized the X-02 reagent.
Logically, Lin Yu is now a zombie, and after being injected with the X-02 reagent, his body should revert to human form. However, Lin Yu's body is different from other zombies; it has already been riddled with holes by blood stings.
In addition, the damage left by Shen Chumo's three Heavenly Thunder Talismans was still in his body.
Lin Yu's body couldn't withstand such a drastic change, which led to his death.
With Lin Yu's death, everyone felt a sense of emptiness. One of the culprits behind the apocalypse had vanished, but they did not feel the relief and liberation they had expected.
Because he died too easily.
But the millions of people and families who died because of him will never come back.
Lin Yuan looked up at Shen Chumo and sobbed, "Sister, I know my brother did something wrong, but could you let me cremate him myself? I want to take his ashes to my parents."
Shen Chumo sighed and reached out to rub Lin Yuan's head.
"Of course, Xiaoyuan. Your brother was also a victim. His dream was to develop a medicine that would benefit everyone in the world, but something invaded his body."
Your brother didn't do anything after that, so you don't need to feel guilty.
Shen Chumo originally intended to burn Lin Yu's corpse. His body contained too many strange things; if she just left it there, it might be eaten by other zombies or wild animals.
There's always the possibility of a secondary change, so since Lin Yuan made the request, she figured she might as well go along with it.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan couldn't stop the tears from flowing. He choked out, "Thank you, sister. If brother hadn't been controlled, he definitely wouldn't have done those things. He always told me that he wanted to eliminate illness from the world and help everyone live a good life..."
Shen Chumo gently patted his shoulder and comforted him, "I know. Let's find a suitable place now and give him a proper send-off."
Although everyone was still shaken by Lin Yu's previous actions, seeing Lin Yuan's grief and considering that Lin Yu was also being controlled by external forces, they were all willing to help.
So they began looking for a suitable place in the surrounding area to carry out the cremation.
After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan chose the riverbank.
Upon arriving at the riverbank, the group helped collect some dry branches, hay, and other flammable materials, piled them on a relatively flat area, and then carefully placed Lin Yu's body on it.
The flames first slowly licked the dry grass, then quickly spread, and soon a raging fire engulfed Lin Yu's body.
As the fire gradually subsided, Lin Yu's body slowly turned to ashes, leaving only some unburnt remnants.
After the fire was completely extinguished, Lin Yuan slowly squatted down, gently gathered his brother's ashes with a clean cloth, carefully wrapped them, and held them in his arms as if they were an invaluable treasure.
"Brother, let's go home. I'll take you to find Mom and Dad..." Lin Yuan murmured softly.
With Lin Yu's matter resolved, everyone returned to the storage warehouse. The underground space contained a large amount of laboratory data, including the most important X-01 reagent.
Bai Nuannuan spoke somewhat shyly, "Chu Mo, although I know I'm not qualified to say these things, I still want to ask you to hand over these materials to our Dawn Base."
When Dawn Base was first established, my father set up a research institute there to study the zombie virus, but there was no progress for a long time.
But now that we have data on the X-01 reagent, perhaps we can further research and develop a drug that can turn zombies back into humans.
Shen Chumo frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
It wasn't that she was reluctant to part with the data; she trusted Bai Nuannuan. Besides, the Dawn Base had the money to allow them to produce the potions in large quantities.
This is a good thing for humanity; Shen Chumo was just thinking about X-02.
Now that the Spirit Spring Space is in her hands, only she can make the X-02 reagent, but she doesn't want to reveal the existence of the Spirit Spring Water, so there's only one way left...
“Nuan Nuan, these materials do not belong to me. They are the result of Professor Zeng’s and his former researchers’ hard work. Naturally, I hope they can play their greatest role and contribute to the fight against zombies for all mankind.”
Shen Chumo looked at Bai Nuannuan and said seriously, "However, I have another request."
"Chu Mo, just say what you want to say. You don't need to be so polite with us."
Bai Nuannuan responded sincerely. She knew that Shen Chumo was always cautious in his actions, and the request he made at this moment must have been carefully considered.
Shen Chumo pursed her lips slightly, "I hope I can join the research institute of your Dawn Base, and that I can lead the research on the X-01 reagent, or at least be deeply involved in it."
Lin Haoran and Bai Nuannuan exchanged a glance, their faces filled with surprise, as if to say, "There's such a good thing?"
"Really? Chu Mo, I originally wanted to invite you to the Dawn Base, but I was afraid of bothering you."
I'm so glad you could come. As for leading this research, although I still need to go back and discuss it thoroughly with my dad and the other heads of the research institute...
But with your abilities, my father and the other uncles will definitely grant your request once they see it.
Lin Haoran added, "Miss Shen, don't worry, the base chief is a very open-minded person. He always values any suggestions or talents that are beneficial to the base's development and the fight against zombies."
Shen Chumo smiled slightly, "Then thank you in advance."
"In addition, there are supplies in this warehouse. I hope you can help me distribute my share to the survivors who are struggling financially."
They had agreed with Lin Haoran to split the supplies 50/50. The reserves were very large, and even if some of them were given to Ying Chu and the others, Shen Chumo wouldn't need much of the remaining supplies in her lifetime.
In this post-apocalyptic world, with a shortage of supplies, it would be better to donate these supplies to those in need and accumulate merit points.
