Chapter 388 So he's the top seller
Ryan showed Xavier around the base a few times, took him to the central display area to see the mission acceptance process, and then took him to his newly assigned suite.
Because of the base expansion, the housing within the base was re-divided, and their residences are much more spacious than before. The interior of the base was even simply painted, all done using supernatural abilities, making it non-toxic and harmless, and ready for immediate occupancy.
If you have a lot of universal currency, you can also find the corresponding superhumans to do the renovation. There are also ordinary people in the base who did design before the apocalypse and have provided a lot of renovation design plans after surveying, and they have also made a lot of money.
Those with less comfortable living conditions can move into this simply furnished house, which is also livable and actually quite nice, although it's all painted white and has simple furniture.
Because Ryan was not short of money, he decorated his house very nicely. He was allocated a detached two-story villa, which was very comfortable for him to live in alone.
He led Xavier to the base store, "I'm buying some new furniture. The old furniture doesn't feel right for my new house. I plan to give the old furniture to my parents."
"They've also moved to a new place. Before, they lived in a small one-bedroom apartment with a bathroom. Now it's a bit bigger, with a kitchen and a small living room partitioned off. It's much more comfortable than before."
Xavier followed Renn to the base's shop and watched as Renn selected a lot of wooden furniture. Renn smiled and explained to him, "These woods were made by plant-type ability users or by alien plants. The quality is exceptionally good, even better than the jasmine and mahogany from before the apocalypse."
"It's fireproof, waterproof, and not easily damaged. Plus, the workmanship is good. The factory in the base that specializes in making furniture mostly uses supernatural abilities for cutting and other tasks."
"Are there many ordinary people at your base?" Xavier asked.
Quinn shook his head. "Not many, after all, it's hard for ordinary people to survive in the apocalypse. But if they turn into zombies, it will be very troublesome in the early stages. However, I heard from my brother that the medical team has produced a testing agent, which is currently in the experimental stage. After a while, it may be used in large quantities."
"At that time, we can test the genes of ordinary people to see whether they will awaken into zombies or superhumans. If they are detected as zombies, it seems that a removal agent has already been developed to prevent zombies from becoming dehumanized."
Xavier was intrigued by what he heard. "No wonder I saw many low-level zombies in your base that looked almost indistinguishable from humans."
"Yes, the medical team opened up registration slots before, and some zombies of level three and above came to volunteer as test subjects. After finding that the effect was good, they used it on low-level zombies in small batches. After finding that the elimination drug could restore their sanity, they began to follow up regularly to keep records."
"It is estimated that after a while, most of the zombies will regain their senses."
The reason why the zombies are obedient now is because they are suppressed by Lu Yize's mental power and controlled by Xie Hongyang, the zombie king. However, there will always be some changes from time to time. In order to eliminate hidden dangers, it is still necessary to solve this problem at its root.
After wandering around for so long, Xavier found Chen Mingzhang after parting ways with Quinn and discussed with him the purchase of the gene testing reagent and the elimination drug that could restore the sanity of zombies.
When he arrived at Chen Mingzhang's door, he also saw the leaders of the other two major bases who had also come to find him. Xavier was quick-witted; there was nothing he couldn't understand.
Chen Mingzhang clearly had Quinn deliberately lead him around and say those things, with the ultimate goal of selling the products produced in their base, since other bases could also use these products.
He remarked that Quinn was being overly enthusiastic today, implying that Quinn wasn't an enthusiastic fellow villager, but rather an enthusiastic salesperson.
Seeing that they had all come to inquire about testing and removal drugs, Chen Mingzhang led them into the medical team's laboratory, where a third-tier zombie who had come to register was undergoing removal procedures.
At the third stage, although zombies don't have many brains, they can still think in a basic way. After slow thinking, they will make choices with their brains, which is why he came here to receive the injection.
Before the injection, several high-level zombies secured the third-level zombie to the bed and bound him. There was no other way; the nerves were too painful during the injection, and most zombies would strongly resist.
He was bound hand and foot, and about five fourth and fifth-tier zombies were guarding him to prevent him from suddenly attacking. The moment the injection was injected into his body, black blood vessels appeared on the zombie's pale face.
Then they began to struggle violently. Xavier and the others were worried that the straps binding the zombies might break. Compared to them, the medical team, whether researchers or the zombies guarding them, seemed extremely calm.
Chen Mingzhang smiled and explained to them, "Don't be nervous. This restraint is specially designed and made of special materials. Not to mention a third-level zombie, even a fifth-level zombie would need some time to break free."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Mingzhang subtly promoted the product, saying, "The price is cheap. If you are interested in buying it, we will sell it to you as well."
Their base had injected this cleansing agent into many people, but fifth-tier zombies wouldn't struggle so violently; by the fifth tier, they basically had the ability to control themselves.
From the moment the injection began, the third-tier zombie struggled violently, then gradually calmed down, and a purplish-black liquid kept seeping from its pores. After this impurity was expelled, the zombie-like markings on the zombie's body gradually faded.
His bluish-green skin gradually returned to human color, his overly long black nails were retracted, his previously exposed fangs were concealed, and the eyes he struggled to open no longer had completely black pupils.
His eyes, now back to normal, still held a trace of bewilderment at his current situation, as if he had just woken up from a long dream.
Seeing that he had finished clearing the area, the security zombie stepped forward to untie the ropes binding him. But for some reason, the moment he was released, he stood up and gagged with his fingers.
The others in the lab were used to this, but Chen Mingzhang smiled and explained to his customers, "Don't worry, this is not a side effect of the drug. It's just that they suddenly regained their senses, but they haven't forgotten what they did during the zombie era, so it's inevitable that they feel a little nauseous."
Almost every one of them who became zombies was like this; their perceptions and their actions during this period were in conflict. However, they are now gradually adapting to their identity as zombies.
