Although Li Hang is nominally in charge of the machinery maintenance factory, the specific affairs are still controlled by Lao Zhou and Lao Dong.

The academic research atmosphere in the Second Outer City is very strong, it's like their own little world, no one disturbs them.

The isolation of the wall made them almost forget that they were still in the apocalypse.

Which kind of happiness is the happiest?

That means you don’t need to think about anything, and you don’t have to worry about whether others are happy or not. You can just do your own things in your own world.

They are very happy.

In the Da Zhangshu Base, the purer people tend to be able to adapt here.

....

Research room lounge.

Bai Jie, Ma Di, Xiao Lan, Wang Yin, Kong Shuang and others were having lunch.

They, the scientific researchers, don't like to go to crowded places, so they take their lunch boxes to the canteen to get food, and then return to the lounge to eat.

"As for the zombie antidote project, although the progress is very slow, don't be discouraged. One day we will be able to develop it." Bai Jie said to everyone while eating.

Madi smiled bitterly and said: "We have not found the source of infection and we have not found the meteorite. Our research is very difficult..."

For a while, everyone's mood was a little depressed.

Bai Jie then broke the silence and said to everyone:

"In view of the characteristics of zombies, the city lord and the others have experimented before, using the flesh and blood of zombies to smear on their clothes, which can have a certain concealment effect."

"But due to the long-term natural disaster, these zombies may be too hungry and now start to eat zombies that have died of the same kind. The original method has failed."

"Everyone can put more thought into this project recently."

Everyone nodded and said, "Okay."

Keep working hard.

At this moment, hiss...

Wang Yin's face turned red, he bared his teeth and fanned his mouth with his hand.

After all, the Da Zhangshu base is located in Gan Province, so it’s spicy.

Chili pepper itself is very rich in nutritional value. It is rich in vitamin C, vitamin B, carotene, calcium, iron and other minerals.

In addition, maybe the cook is also from Ganxi, so he added some chili peppers.

Wang Yin, on the other hand, is from Guangdong and basically doesn’t eat chili peppers.

In the winter, chili peppers can keep the body warm, so we made a chili stir-fry.

Bai Jie saw Wang Yin being so hot and said with a smile: "Drink some water, you..."

As she spoke, she put a mouthful of chili pepper into her mouth.

She is originally from Xiangtan, and eating spicy food is as easy as drinking water for her.

Wang Yin's mouth was slightly swollen. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water. He said with a sad face: "I knew I wouldn't want this dish. How did you manage to eat it when it's so spicy?"

"Is it spicy? I think it's okay! This is not Chaotian pepper..." Xiaolan said nonchalantly.

Wang Yin was drinking water, and suddenly he had an idea.

The hand holding the tea cup also paused in mid-air, as if suspended by a time pauser.

Kong Shuang, who was sitting next to him, glanced at him suspiciously, "Are you okay?"

"Are you OK?"

Kong Shuang asked twice in a row.

Wang Yin's eyes became brighter and brighter. He put down the water glass with excitement and said to everyone:

"Wrong, our thinking is wrong!"

"To shield zombies, our previous idea was to extract something from zombie corpses and carry it to make the zombies ignore humans. Essentially, it makes the zombies think that we are the same kind.

But zombies will eat dead zombies, so our idea doesn’t work.”

"Since there is no way, why not think about it the other way around, instead of thinking about what zombies like, think about what zombies hate!"

"I hate chili peppers, so I will never touch chili peppers again. Zombies hate something. Wouldn't that be enough to avoid zombies?"

As soon as he saw it, everyone's eyes lit up.

"It makes sense, but what do zombies hate?" Bai Jie asked.

"Um... Do you hate chili peppers?" Wang Yin said with some uncertainty.

He was just joking.

Unexpectedly, Ma Di's eyes lit up and he said: "The sense of smell of zombies is many times more sensitive than that of humans. Chili has a very strong smell and may be able to mask the smell of people! You can give it a try!"

Whoosh!

Everyone stood up and looked at each other.

It seems interesting.

Bai Jie glanced at the chili peppers in her rice bowl, and then said to Wang Yin: "Anyway, you don't eat chili peppers, so try it with yours."

Everyone rushed to the scientific research room.

In the scientific research room, a door was opened, and then a glass door was opened. Finally, through the iron railing, Bai Jie and others looked at the zombies inside.

There were iron chains tied to the zombie's body, but the iron chains did not hang the zombie up.

Bai Jie used a slender iron clip to hold the peppers and put them in front of the zombies.

The zombie knocked the pepper on the iron clamp to the ground.

"Pull the zombies up!" Bai Jie said.

Ma Di and Wang Yin pressed the button next to them.

beep--

The chains were slowly retracted, and the zombie was hoisted into the air.

Bai Jie stuffed the chili peppers on the ground directly into the zombie's mouth.

The zombie seemed a little disgusted and struggled desperately.

Hoho!

A mouth.

The peppers were thrown in directly.

The next second, the zombies roared.

There's drama!

Bai Jie immediately picked up chili peppers and tested a zombie, but the zombie didn't seem to have much reaction.

No one was discouraged. Scientific experiments are like this. There will be constant failures, and it may take a month or ten years. When a certain experiment succeeds, the joy at the moment of success is unparalleled.

After a round of testing, it was found that most zombies had a resistant reaction to chili peppers.

Ma Di said to Bai Jie: "Zombies have a more sensitive sense of smell. Maybe they can condense the essence of chili peppers and amplify the taste of chili peppers..."

"You can try it."

After a meal, I found a new idea, which made everyone in the scientific research room very happy.

Bai Jie happily said to Wang Yin: "That's right, you have an active mind and can think of these things even if you eat chili pepper. I will take credit for you when the city lord comes back!"

Wang Yin coughed twice and said modestly: "Let's wait until we develop a potion that allows us to walk freely among zombies."

"Hahaha." Madi laughed.
