Chapter 138
"This is a comparison of the blood test results between Ling Jing's blood and zombie blood," said Zhong Mingsheng, handing out one of the sheets to the two people.
"We've discovered that 75% of Ling Jing's blood components are identical to zombie blood. We speculate that the remaining 25% is likely the key factor preventing him from fully turning into a zombie." He then took out another sheet of paper.
"This is Ling Jing's brain nerve map."
"From this image, we can see that the neural structure in his brain hasn't changed, but there are significant differences in the nerve endings."
"These are likely the factors causing his previous coma, personality changes, and alterations in living habits. They're also the reason why some of his behaviors resemble those of zombies."
Zhong Mingsheng explained, pointing at the data and images on the chart.
"Will I completely turn into a zombie?" Ling Jing asked directly.
"That's unclear. It depends on whether the 75% infected blood will eventually overtake the 25% uncontaminated blood," Zhong Mingsheng said slowly.
"Of course, if we can develop a targeted vaccine from the serum extracted from your blood before that happens, we could inhibit the spread of the virus in your body in time."
"There's also a possibility that you'll maintain your current state, neither becoming a zombie nor being entirely like a normal person."
Hearing this, Ling Jing fell silent.
"Will he revert to his previous state?" Yun Xiaoxiao asked.
Zhong Mingsheng understood what she meant and replied in a deep voice.
"That's also uncertain. All of his vital signs are still extremely unstable. Reverting to his previous state is possible."
Or rather, transforming into a person with a different temperament wasn't out of the question either.
The human body is a marvelous and complex machine, filled with countless organs and cells.
They're not static, but constantly in motion.
Often, a small change in one part of the body can affect the whole.
So even he couldn't give a completely accurate answer.
"Grandpa Zhong, I'll leave this matter to you. If you need anything, just let me know directly."
"Alright."
After parting with Zhong Mingsheng and the others, Lu Chen, Ling Jing, and Xiao Feng went to help Mu Yang modify his car.
When Mu Yang learned they were heading to Xiang City, he mentioned modifying an RV to make their journey more convenient.
Yun Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, went alone to the first street.
Her earlier mention of reopening the shopping mall wasn't a joke.
She couldn't keep supporting everyone unconditionally forever.
With effort and rewards, earning money for free spending, this would motivate everyone.
She looked at the department store in front of her.
It had six floors in total.
Given the current small population in the base, just using the first floor would be enough.
But...
Who would look after it once it's open?
As Yun Xiaoxiao was pondering this, Little Di's voice sounded.
[Host, you can let Big White's twin brother help run it. He can stock goods, clean, sell, and is all-around capable.]
As soon as Little Di finished speaking, a creature that looked identical to Big White appeared in front of Yun Xiaoxiao.
Yun Xiaoxiao: !!
"Does Big White have any other brothers?" she asked excitedly.
If there were more, couldn't they handle many other tasks?
Little Di ruthlessly replied: [No, there aren't any others.]
Yun Xiaoxiao: ......
I knew you weren't reliable!
Still, having Second Bai was already quite good.
She began taking out shelves, cash registers, and goods from Yun Shaokai's supermarket.
Second Bai instinctively started bustling about, huffing and puffing as he dragged these items around.
"Second Bai, move this shelf over there."
"Yes, right against the wall."
"Second Bai, put all these cookies on one shelf."
"Second Bai, don't break the instant noodles."
"Second Bai, hang up these clothes."
"Second Bai, arrange these shoes neatly, okay?"
"Second Bai......"
Hard work pays off, and after more than two hours, the first floor was organized properly, resembling a miniature supermarket.
It had food, daily necessities, clothing - most things one would need in daily life could be found here.
It could be said to have everything one might need.
Yun Xiaoxiao clapped her hands, very satisfied.
Now all that was left was pricing.
The pricing here obviously wouldn't be in money, as money had no use now.
The base would implement a point system in the future, so the pricing would naturally be in points.
But this pricing...
Yun Xiaoxiao frowned, looking at the array of goods, suddenly feeling overwhelmed.
So many items, if she had to price them one by one, it would take forever!
Yun Xiaoxiao squatted down, her small face in her hands, looking utterly dejected.
From behind, she looked like a tiny lump.
"Second Bai, can you price things?"
Yun Xiaoxiao lazily glanced at the dazed Second Bai beside her.
She was just asking out of boredom.
Unexpectedly, Second Bai nodded.
Then he went to get price tags and a pen, and started pricing each item one by one.
At this moment, Little Di's voice sounded in Yun Xiaoxiao's mind again.
[Ding! The base population has exceeded 20 people. Rewarding one point exchange machine, ten point scanning machines, and unlimited point cards.]
[The point exchange machine is now connected to the system. All residents' point storage and inquiries can be operated on it.]
[Point cards are issued one per base resident, automatically generated when a resident enters the base. They can be obtained by face scanning at the point exchange machine. Their function is similar to pre-apocalypse cafeteria cards or campus cards.]
[Point scanning machines are similar to the machines used for swiping cafeteria or campus cards.]
After hearing this, Yun Xiaoxiao's reaction could no longer be described as mere surprise.
This system was practically her guardian angel!
And when she saw the prices Second Bai had set, she felt like hugging and kissing him.
Second Bai's pricing was exactly what she had in mind!
Having become a hands-off boss, Yun Xiaoxiao directly brought over a lounge chair and started eating fruit and cracking sunflower seeds.
The entire afternoon, Yun Xiaoxiao and Second Bai were busy.
To be precise, Second Bai was busy...
"Second Bai, keep up the good work, I have high hopes for you~"
Yun Xiaoxiao winked at Second Bai.
Second Bai: ......
Afterwards, she walked out of the building.
She drove her car down the street, planning to go for dinner.
That's when she saw Liu Yi, Tan Lili, and the others returning.
They were driving cars loaded with many items.
She could vaguely make out bed sheets, quilts, kettles, iron pots, and other daily necessities.
No wonder they had been gone for so long; it seemed they had moved everything they could.
Yun Xiaoxiao stopped her car, opened the window, and greeted them.
Liu Yi and the others looked at her in shock.
"You're... driving?"
A five-year-old child driving a car?
This was simply too incredible!
