Chapter 785: The Rift Suddenly Appears
The Zombie Virus Serum gradually took effect on the other four people, and eventually, the zombie virus in all five infected individuals disappeared. Aside from some weakness and falling into a comatose state, there were no other side effects.
It's basically safe to announce that the Zombie Virus Serum is a success!
Although they still need to find five people who have recently turned into zombies, within the last seven days, to further test and ensure the serum is 100% problem-free, large-scale production can begin now.
"Production of the vaccine and inhibitor can be reduced appropriately, while all focus should be on the serum."
Even though Wang Tao didn't need to say more, he still mentioned this to everyone. The raw materials for making the serum aren't much more expensive than those for the vaccine, so the focus should definitely be on serum production now.
Gu Yun nodded in understanding, then left in a rush; he needed to personally supervise the production of the serum to ensure there are no mistakes.
The others looked at Wang Tao and Qu Shilin with full respect in their eyes.
This Zombie Virus Serum, on a small scale, could save their lives in critical moments. On a larger scale, it could save the lives of all survivors worldwide!
Wang Tao and Qu Shilin being able to develop this serum makes them nothing less than benefactors of all humanity!
At this moment, Qu Shilin tugged at Wang Tao's sleeve, seeming to have something to discuss with him in private.
"Alright, everyone go get busy then."
Wang Tao said to everyone with a smile.
"Yes!"
After everyone left, Wang Tao looked at Qu Shilin beside him.
"What's going on?"
"During the research on the serum, I discovered there's still room for improvement..."
Qu Shilin said softly.
"Hmm? Room for improvement?"
Wang Tao was a bit surprised.
He thought that the current serum was already very impressive, so how could it be improved?
"Theoretically, this Zombie Virus Serum could not only eliminate the zombie virus in the human body but also eliminate the zombie virus in zombies, no matter how long they've existed!"
Qu Shilin looked at Wang Tao with shining eyes.
"You mean... all the zombies in the world could be recovered by the serum?"
Wang Tao felt this seemed a bit exaggerated.
"Impossible, those zombies and humans are no longer the same species."
However, fortunately, Qu Shilin shook her head, but her next words made Wang Tao's jaw drop.
"What I meant by 'eliminate the virus in zombies' is that the serum can not only save humans but also directly kill zombies!"
"..."
"No matter how strong the zombie, even a Ninth-Stage Zombie, it would die upon contact with the serum!"
"..."
"Of course, I mean theoretically, there's this possibility. The current serum can only save people and can't kill zombies. This kind of serum I call 'Super Serum', which can't be produced now..."
After hearing Qu Shilin's words, Wang Tao finally spoke.
"What are your thoughts?"
Qu Shilin responded without hesitation:
"I want to continue researching the serum! What if I manage to come up with the Super Serum?"
Then she looked eagerly at Wang Tao.
"But I need some things, like more talent, more zombie virus data, zombie samples..."
Research comes at a cost. Now that the serum has been successfully developed, the Hope Research Institute will shift its focus to other areas, such as Crystal Energy and Powered Armor.
Qu Shilin can certainly continue researching the serum, but she won't receive the same level of support as before. After all, she can't guarantee the Super Serum can be developed; it's merely a theoretical possibility in her mind. And most importantly, the serum formula Wang Tao gave her won't apply.
If the Super Serum is truly researched, it might take a long time and a lot of costs. Qu Shilin alone cannot carry out this research.
She's not even sure whether to continue the research, considering the current serum is already very good. So she wanted to hear Wang Tao's thoughts.
She only told Wang Tao about the "Super Serum" matter, and no one else knew. If Wang Tao supported her, she would continue researching. If he didn't, she would just have to get busy with other things...
After thinking for a moment, Wang Tao looked at Qu Shilin and said:
"You want to continue researching the serum?"
"Of course!"
Qu Shilin nodded eagerly like a pecking chick.
Wang Tao smiled and tucked a stray lock of Qu Shilin's hair behind her ear.
"Then continue with your research. Make a list of what you need and give it to me later; I'll help you get them."
"Great! I knew you would definitely support me!"
Qu Shilin's face was very excited, and then she tiptoed, hugged Wang Tao's neck, and gave him a hard kiss on the cheek.
"Of course, I would support you; if I don't support my own wife, who would I support? Plus, you're professional and I trust your expertise. It would be even better if you could create the Super Serum, but if not, it's no big deal; the current serum is already great!"
Wang Tao smiled and pinched Qu Shilin's cheek gently.
"Hehe, as expected of the man I chose in my past life!"
After clarifying her idea of the Super Serum with Wang Tao, Qu Shilin immediately returned to the Hope Research Institute and drafted a list for Wang Tao. It contained all the things and talents she needed for the Super Serum research.
She did not expect to find everything, only hoping to find as much as possible. The more she found, the higher her chances of success.
Looking at the densely written words on the list, Wang Tao felt a bit of a headache. But since he promised Qu Shilin, he would naturally keep his word.
