Bai Xiaowen couldn't help but be stunned. After the zombies left the manhole cover, they immediately pounced on the Zombie Doctor.
Bai Xiaowen drew his Desert Eagle and killed the first zombie with a headshot. Then, a large number of summoned creatures went up to meet the zombies.
These zombies looked terrifying, but their true strength was ordinary. They were just ordinary residents of Maple City, so most of them were just ordinary templates. After coming into contact with the zombies, they fell to the ground one after another.
It was worth mentioning that these zombies didn't have any vital points. Li Shuyi's sword pierced the heart, and the damage was definitely more than one-third, but it still didn't trigger the instant kill effect.
Li Shuyi had no choice but to use two more sword strokes to empty the first zombie's HP bar. However, this zombie's HP bar was reduced to 1/130. It fell to the ground and twitched. Its HP bar was slowly recovering, and it looked like it would recover in a few minutes.
"Let's try cutting off its head." Bai Xiaowen recalled the zombie he killed with a headshot.
Li Shuyi swung [Red Leaf Overlord's Glory Sword] and chopped off the head of the fallen zombie. This time, its HP bar finally dropped to 0/130. It was completely dead.
After gaining experience, it was much easier to deal with these zombies. All they had to do was attack their heads.
Seeing Li Shuyi, with two swords in hand, killing these zombies like cutting vegetables, the Zombie Doctor heaved a sigh of relief.
"This … Let's wait first. Try to capture a few alive. These are all precious samples …"
"Didn't you say that these are all by-products?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"Accidental products are also valuable. Many great scientific discoveries are just insignificant accidents …" The Zombie Doctor said with conviction.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. He controlled the summoned creatures to not attack the zombies' heads. They only emptied their HP bars, and when they fell to the ground to recover, he tied them up with iron chains.
In the end, they captured five zombies and brought them back to the underground research institute, where they were firmly tied to the pillars with iron chains.
"Can you tell me now? What happened? "Bai Xiaowen pressed.
Bai Xiaowen was a little angry that this happened.
He was about to return to White Stone Town, and he did not want his backyard to be on fire. This time it was a zombie, but what about next time? What about next time? If Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi weren't around, the bandits might not be able to clean up Dr. Zombie's mess.
Zombie Doctor knew that he was in the wrong, so he coughed and said, "Well, I've been researching the antidote all this time, and I've already completed most of it. I'm only missing one supplementary substance … According to what you can understand, it's a 'guiding drug'."
"Are you experimenting with auxiliary substances now?"
"Yes, that's right. With the help of the instruments in the research institute, I conducted a brief analysis of my own form of existence and found that I was a special energy substance. Extracting this special energy substance would cause me to weaken for a short period of time. I named this substance 'WD-A' … I believe that WD-A is the main substance that allows me to maintain my soul and thoughts in my zombie form … "
"Speak human language," Bai Xiaowen said curtly.
"… Ahem, I just extracted something from myself and added it as a guiding drug into the antidote, then injected it into the experimental subjects." Zombie Doctor laughed awkwardly. "But the results seem to be a little off. These guys didn't become undead in the usual sense, but a different kind of undead creature …"
The difference was not small. One was a ghoul from an ancient European fantasy world, while the other was a zombie from a modern version of Raccoon City's Resident Evil.
Bai Xiaowen glared at Zombie Doctor. "What I want you to do is research the antidote, not randomly research yourself … Once the antidote is completed, you'll have plenty of time to study your own body structure! Don't forget, the time I gave you was only five days, and now it's already the fourth day! "
"Layman …"
Zombie Doctor muttered.
"Hmm?" Bai Xiaowen's eyes swept over.
Zombie Doctor held his head high and puffed out his chest. "Boss, although this incident was an accident, it opened a new door for me, and it preliminarily verified that my idea is feasible. Next, as long as we change to a suitable guiding drug, we'll definitely be able to develop an antidote to the Undead Plague! "
"What kind of guiding drug should we use?" Bai Xiaowen was a little worried.
"I've decided to start with the undead creatures that died in battle …"
Bai Xiaowen: "… What nonsense are you up to now?"
Zombie Doctor: "Please respect a great scientist! My hypothesis is based on sufficient theoretical basis! Those undead creatures that were killed by the Undead Plague and successfully transformed must have 'antibodies' to the Undead Plague in their bodies! As long as I can extract these antibodies and add them into the antidote, I'll definitely be able to create a drug to suppress the Undead Plague. "
Li Shuyi nodded. "That sounds reasonable."
Bai Xiaowen thought for a second. "Today is the fourth day. Extract the antibodies first and create a new antidote. However, before I return to Maple City, you're forbidden from conducting a second experiment! If you dare to disobey, no matter what the result is, I'll send you back to the soul stone to undergo Delifa re-education. "
Zombie Doctor shrank back. "Alright, you're the boss. You have the final say. But what if you don't return tomorrow? We only have five days to meet. "
"When I return to Maple City, we'll begin the second experiment. As long as the antidote is successfully produced, you'll be considered to have completed the agreed upon time. Because the number of days you have to wait while I'm away from Maple City won't be counted in the five-day agreement, understood? "
In fact, Bai Xiaowen hadn't expected Zombie Doctor to be able to come up with an idea for the antidote and enter the actual production stage in just four days. The five-day deadline he'd set at the beginning was just a kind of spur.
Of course, Zombie Doctor's academic and research abilities were strong. It was a pleasant surprise that he could produce results so quickly.
Bai Xiaowen then called Kitts and the other captains of the bandit guards over and gave them some instructions.
"Boss Lord, you're going back? Aren't you going to take our brothers with you? "Kitts grinned widely." I still want to take a look at my fief. "
"What's there to see?" Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "Maple City is so big. There are tens of thousands of people in the city who are infected. There are only a few hundred of you. It's not enough for me to keep all of you here … Hurry up and clean up some empty houses near the Lord's Manor."
Kitts nodded. "No problem. Right now, at least half of the houses in Maple City are empty …"
