174 Research Progress
“Master, why did you return so soon this time?

“Isn’t it fun to be undercover?”

Lin Momo came up to him.

“I ended up as a camp leader without even doing anything. It was too much hassle.

“Help me take these to the warehouse,” Wang Ran said, as he moved the gold bags and boxes out of the car.

“Wow! Master, you’re amazing!

“You got so much gold back in a day!

“By the way, is gold starting to be valuable now?”

Lin Momo carried the bag and followed Wang Ran to the warehouse.

“At the camp, gold has already become a hard currency.

“The Awakened Ones in the camp are also using gold to stimulate their own advancement.

“I guess most places have realized the value of gold.

“I think it’s time to find a suitable opportunity to use gold to exchange for some supplies,” Wang Ran muttered.

However, in the current world, without the internet and electricity, it was difficult to communicate with others.

If he wanted to establish a large-scale trading market, he had to at least find a way to gather people.

Was he going to fly a helicopter and hang out in the city?

Forget it, I’ll let my underlings think of a solution later.

“Momo, help me move… Five boxes of wine into the car.

“I’m having dinner at the housing area tonight,” Wang Ran ordered her.

“Yes, Master!

“Master, there’s no one in the warehouse. Can I ask for some pocket change?”

Lin Momo undid a button on her chest.

Wang Ran lowered his head and saw an unfathomably deep trench.

“Alright, let’s do this quickly.”

Wang Ran grabbed Lin Momo’s waist with both hands and easily lifted her onto the platform…

Half an hour later, Wang Ran left the warehouse.

Momo would take a few more minutes before she could regain the sue of her legs.

Wang Ran took the box of medicine that Henry had given him and went to Liu Shiyao’s laboratory.

As soon as he entered, Wang Ran could sense a great change.

The house had been renovated by Liu Shiyao again.

All the water in the pool had been drained, and it had turned into a greenhouse.

Liu Shiyao was fiddling with fruit seedlings inside, her legs bare.

“Hey, you’re here.”

Liu Shiyao wiped the sweat off her face, but the dirt on her hands made a mess of her face.

Wang Ran put his hands under her armpits and directly lifted her up.

“Wait, I’ll go wash up first,” Liu Shiyao said, as she jogged into the bathroom.

Wang Ran felt that she had misunderstood the situation again.

Not long after, Liu Shiyao changed into a clean set of clothes and came out.

Ah, it was just a bath.

Wang Ran heaved a sigh of relief.

If it was another case of Lin Momo, he might not make it for dinner.

“You’re a busy man. Why are you here?” Liu Shiyao asked, as she pushed up her glasses.

“I’m here to see how your research is going,” Wang Ran said, with a smile.

“Speaking of which, I’ve really made some progress.

“Didn’t I say before that the virus is only effective on certain mammals?

“In theory, plants shouldn’t be infected and mutated by these strains.

“During my research, I discovered that the virus would mutate after it combines with a living creature, and it would become easier for other lifeforms to absorb it.

“I remember you saying that this batch of vegetables was watered with zombie blood, right? That’s why vegetables would mutate so easily,” Liu Shiyao explained.

“F*ck, are you saying that not just mammals, but other animals can also zombify?”

Wang Ran was stunned.

It was an uncomfortable thought, especially regarding insects. It would be disgusting if they turned into zombies.

“In theory, yes.

“But it still depends on the environment and the specific situation.”

Liu Shiyao added.

“In the invasion you just fended off, so many zombies were thrown into the sea…

“Would it cause the sea creatures to mutate…”

Wang Ran had a bad feeling about this.

At that moment, Liu Shiyao saw the box in Wang Ran’s hand.

“This!

“This is the logo of the company that our government was working with!

“They found you?”

Liu Shiyao’s face was filled with shock.

“A guy named Henry gave me money and asked me to help capture test subject One.

Wang Ran shrugged his shoulders.

“You… Don’t tell me you’ve made a deal with them!

“You’re a monster!

“Ada is so… Would you really hand her over?”

Liu Shiyao frowned.

“I scammed them, simple.

“In any case, they’ll be looking for someone called Derek Zhang or something like that. What does it have to do with me, Wang Ran?”

Wang Ran spread his hands.

Liu Shiyao was stunned. Wang Ran tricked Henry?

Henry was the person in charge of the company’s field operations. He had always been smart and cautious, but he was actually tricked by Wang Ran?

Of course, Henry was not to be blamed.

Who would have thought that the person in charge of a camp with over a thousand people was actually the one who had sheltered Ada?

“Open it and take a look. You should be interested in what’s in this box,” Wang Ran said with a smile.

Liu Shiyao opened the box doubtfully.

Ten improved versions of the serum appeared in front of her.

“This is…

“The company’s latest formula?

“Yes, yes. It’s a little different from the previous version…”

Liu Shiyao directly took out a vial and walked to a workstation.

She ran some tests on it.

As expected, it’s far stabler!

However, for the sake of stability, there seem to be some other side effects.

“What kind of creature’s characteristics did they add in…”

Liu Shiyao was immersed in her work.

Wang Ran was left aside.

Wang Ran smiled helplessly, and walked out of the villa.

On the other side, Lin Momo had already loaded the alcohol into the car.

There was already a lot of wine in the warehouse, and after going to the airport’s duty-free shop, they had gained even more wine.

This truckload only took up one-tenth of the inventory.

“Momo, look after the base.

“I’m probably going to drink until late today.”

Wang Ran explained briefly and took a G-Wagon to the housing area.

A large bonfire had been set up in the courtyard.

Other than the security guards, everyone else in the camp was gathered here.

Today was the first large-scale gathering at the Eastlake Villa.

Wang Ran was naturally the guest of honor.

As soon as he got out of the car, he was surrounded by the crowd.

“Boss, Captain Wu is on the night shift today, so you can drink without worries.”

Zhu Ming carried two boxes of wine and said happily.

Wang Ran nodded.

He was quite at ease if Wu Jianguo was on duty.

The sky quickly darkened.

The huge bonfire lit up the night sky and also lit up the hearts of the residents.

The people who stayed behind all admired Wang Ran very much.

Hundreds of people took turns to toast Wang Ran.

This battle was much fiercer than the one back home.
