Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 2241 The Laboratory

CAUMP was a management and supervision organization. It was a collective term for the organization of traditional and conventional doctors in Cathay.

The board of seniors was the highest decision-making governance of CAUMP. Except for top-level management, almost no one knew the members.

Dragon In Slumber Underground Laboratory was the most significant territory of the entire CAUMP. Its jurisdiction included developing new drugs, both traditional and conventional, and treating some difficult diseases like cancer.

Recently, almost every experimental personnel and physician put a hold on their projects to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the newly discovered terrifying infectious disease.

"How's the research progress?" Rhett asked directly when he saw Alvin.

Alvin, who was put in a difficult position by the question, shook his head. "We've conducted every examination. This kind of mutation originates from the brain, and we have eliminated our deductions one by one. The virus mainly affects the brain."

Before Alvin could continue, Rhett raised his hand. "Keep them in the loop first. Perhaps, they have more ideas than we do."

Alvin was extremely surprised by that because only the top medical experts and researchers in Cathay are gathered at Dragon In Slumber. What was the point of talking to these young fellows when even the board of seniors was at their wits' ends in that face of the Zombie Virus? It would be a waste of time.

Not only Alvin, but several researchers, practitioners and doctors nearby also cast looks of surprise and disdain.

Obviously, they were looking down upon Matthew and the group. It was partly because it was Rhett's arrangement too.

Bringing such young people here to help was a proof of lack of trust in their abilities, and Rhett knew what was going on in their heads.

He had his reasons.

It was not that the abilities of the Dragon In Slumber members were inferior to those of the youngsters. He merely wanted to test if they could bring different perspectives to the project. After all, young people are more nimble, and they might bring surprises.

"Enough. Consider it as training for them. Let's show them what the real world is like." His words put them at ease.

Alvin added immediately, "The mutation was first discovered in Highsea! It is mainly caused by a virus. We have tried various drugs to eliminate the virus, but the results are not as satisfactory as expected." He motioned for his assistant to bring over files with detailed information and explained further. When Matthew and the others opened the files, their expressions fell.

Coupled with Alvin's explanation, they finally comprehended how dangerous the mutation could be.

According to the information, Zombie Virus was highly contagious. It was not airborne, but one would be 100% infected if scratched or bitten.

After being infected with this virus, the human body would undergo a mutation within an extremely short period.

The first outcome would be turning into a soulless walking corpse. Such victims would lose all five senses and not react to any changes in their surroundings.

The second outcome was similar to the first one but with extremely aggressive puppets. They would frantically attack any living organism that approached them. The similarity between the two was their lack of consciousness.

The fascinating fact was that the infected would have their physical strength greatly enhanced despite losing their consciousness.
