Hu Xingguo smiled and stretched out his feet to kick a few times at the edge of the pool. The originally calm water surface suddenly splashed with water!

One! Two! Three!

Zhang Fan counted them and discovered that there were three such monster fish in the pond!

"There were more at first, but they cannibalized each other, and now only these three are left."

Seeing how relaxed Hu Xingguo said it, Zhang Fan couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with these people.

In Zhang Fan's opinion, studying this unknown creature is equivalent to causing trouble for himself!

Now it seems that they have not encountered any disaster because of this strange fish, but if one day the monster mutates again and their abilities cannot suppress the fish, wouldn't they dig their own grave?

Zhang Fan still thought about it and asked.

"Captain Hu, there is one thing I don't understand. What is your purpose of raising this fish?"

Hu Xingguo turned to look at another man wearing glasses with a bit of white hair on his temples, and introduced him to Zhang Fan.

"This is Professor Yuan Shaohua, a scientist who used to study biological genes. This fish was cultivated under his guidance."

When Zhang Fan heard about the scientists, he couldn't help but be in awe.

Yuan Shaohua also explained.

"What this little brother doesn't know is that although this fish looks ugly and has a ferocious personality, according to my research, this fish is not aggressive towards humans at all."

As Yuan Shaohua spoke, he actually rolled up his sleeves and reached into the pond. Then he fished out a fish directly from the pond and showed it to Zhang Fan and others.

Daiyu, Hu Xiaoguo and others screamed in fright and covered their eyes.

I don't blame them for being timid.

This fish is only a little ugly in appearance in the pond, but when it is held in front of people, it is not only a little ugly, it is simply terrifying!

Not only does its appearance make people's scalp numb, but the smell of the fish is so fishy that it makes people sick!

When Yuan Shaohua handed over the ugly and scary fish, not only did the girls scream to avoid it, but even Zhang Fan took half a step back, not wanting to take a closer look at the creature.

"You don't have to be afraid. I've already told you that this fish is harmless to humans."

Yuan Shaohua held the fish and said.

After Zhang Fan saw the fish, it looked like a normal fish out of water. It opened and closed its mouth as if it was lacking oxygen.

He quickly took the opportunity to speak.

"Professor Yuan, since it is a fish, it must not feel comfortable being out of the water. Please put it into the pond quickly."

Yuan Shaohua nodded.

"Yes, that is the flaw of this fish."

As he spoke, he threw the fish into the pond and continued.

"As I said just now, this kind of fish mutates after eating zombie meat. In fact, we did an experiment where we caught very weak zombies and threw them into the pond, but not a single zombie survived!"

Zhang Fan was a little surprised. They actually caught zombies for experiments?!

Seeing Zhang Fan's surprised expression, Hu Xingguo was still a little proud.

"You guys are doing experiments here?!!"

Daiyu covered her mouth and asked, already having a picture in her mind...

"Of course not." Yuan Shaohua smiled.

"The base has a dedicated experimental building, and all experiments are conducted there."

"Do you have many experimenters here?"

Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

Yuan Shaohua glanced at Hu Xingguo and saw that Hu Xingguo had no strange expression, so he told the truth.

"There are a lot of staff, but if you are the one responsible for the experiment, I am the only one."

"So, are you only doing experiments on this kind of fish?"

Yuan Shaohua smiled and shook his head.

"Of course not, the zombie fish experiment is just one of the small experiments. In fact, we are working on cultivating a tameable zombie natural enemy!"

Zhang Fan was a little surprised!

Yuan Shaohua explained again.

"For those with superpowers, these are naturally not of much use. However, for ordinary survivors, or people whose superpowers are not combat-based, perhaps they can find another way to protect themselves, hiding in

On these mutated animals!”

"Just like herdsmen raising dogs, the role of dogs is not only to protect people, but also to protect the sheep when encountering wolves!"

Zhang Fan naturally knew this truth. However, he had not thought about this.

"Are you planning to let ordinary people out?"

Zhang Fan asked.

Yuan Shaohua glanced at Hu Xingguo again and nodded.

"Of course, this is our ideal state in the future. After all, freedom has always been the pursuit of mankind. Unlike those with superpowers, they have the ability to protect themselves and can enter and exit the spiritual city in the sky. Ordinary survivors have no freedom.

It’s really pitiful to have to stay in a small camp for the rest of your life without the ability to protect yourself.”

All this made Zhang Fan more convinced that the reason why Arknights Team is strong is not only because of the powerful superpowers!

Rather, it is done from the top down, and the living conditions of ordinary survivors are also seriously considered.

Instead of having enough food, clothing, and a place to stay, he has even begun to consider higher-level pursuits!

free?!!

Is this something they should consider at this stage?

Zhang Fan could only put a question mark in his heart for the time being.

"Have you any breakthrough research results?"

Zhang Fan asked casually, but in fact, he already knew the answer.

Sure enough, Yuan Shaohua's smile froze.

"Any breakthrough research results require a huge amount of time and energy. Of course, we are not saying that there are no results at present."

Yuan Shaohua put his hands behind his back and raised his head slightly.

"Although we have not yet been able to cultivate mutant animals that can target zombies, from these mutant animals, we have extracted an antigen that can effectively inhibit the zombie virus!"

"This kind of antigen can be used to block the zombie virus after being bitten by a zombie, and then prevent yourself from becoming a zombie!"

Zhang Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this.

"Sounds pretty good!"

Yuan Shaohua went on to say.

"Not only that, I have also refined many injectable medicines with other effects!"

"You may have heard about it. Some have the effect of stopping bleeding and repairing, while others enhance aggression..."

Hu Xingguo looked proud again.

"These drugs developed by Professor Yuan are very popular in the market."

Zhang Fan seemed to have heard about some of them, but he just laughed and praised them and didn't dwell on these experiments any more.

Liu Yining, on the other hand, was quite interested after listening to Yuan Shaohua's speech.

He caught up and asked about the mutated animals.

"Why, did you learn this?"

Yuan Shaohua saw that Liu Yining asked extensively and listened carefully. After answering some of Liu Yining's questions, Yuan Shaohua asked again casually.

Liu Yining smiled and shook her head.

"No, I just think the concept you just talked about is great, so I want to know more about it."

Yuan Shaohua chuckled.

"Then I understand, the people you are close to are ordinary people, right?"

Liu Yining still smiled and shook her head.

"No, after the doomsday comes, I will be the only one left... I don't know what happened to my parents and brother... I don't dare to think..."

Liu Yining lowered her voice as she spoke.

Yuan Shaohua could not help but sympathize with this studious little girl and comforted her.

"It's the right thing not to think about it! Rather than thinking about those useless things, it's better to take good care of yourself as you do now. In this way, maybe one day you can reunite with your loved ones."

Liu Yining felt warm in her heart and nodded heavily!
