Ch. 65
After arranging the members of Xin Xin's team into Lin Ze's superpower team, Lou Ai received a notice from the laboratory as she wished and became an assistant in Qin Chengtai's laboratory. All she had to do every day was to record various data in a notebook and report any abnormal situations to Professor Qin Chengtai.
Qin Chengtai is a kind person and is willing to help the younger generation.
On the day Lou Ai first arrived, Qin Chengtai gave Lou Ai some pointers on various aspects of chemistry. After asking the questions, he stared at Lou Ai with expectant eyes.
Lou Ai looked at the old professor as if she was listening to a heavenly book. Not to mention these profound and complicated things, she had almost forgotten even the high school chemistry.
After confirming that Lou Ai knew nothing, Qin Chengtai regretfully assigned Lou Ai the simplest and most brainless recording job.
Everyone else in the lab was so busy that they had no time to pay attention to a new little recorder.
Lou Ai was free and kept a close eye on Qicheng's various actions.
Qicheng's full name is Guo Qicheng, and he is about the same age as Qin Chengtai. He is one of the scientists that Professor Qin Chengtai applied for from the Capital Base. The other professor is the second-level zombie whose zombie crystal core she absorbed. These two scientists are the only ones who came from the Capital Base. According to the information she got, the team sent at that time had a hundred people and was attacked on the way. The hundred-person escort team and Guo Qicheng were unharmed, and only the other scientist was captured.
Everyone in the escort team said there was nothing unusual, and the matter was left unresolved.
Professor Qin Chengtai coveted the data from an experiment conducted by the scientist, and with a glimmer of hope, he posted a reward.
It happened to be seen by Xiao Zi, which led to the previous events.
"Professor Guo, you went out to make tea again. Shall I go and help you?" The machine next to her happened to have stopped. Lou Ai wrote down the last data, and seeing Guo Qicheng walking outside, she hurriedly followed him and said with a smile.
When Guo Qicheng is not busy, he likes to go to the outer room of the laboratory to make a pot of wolfberry tea and taste it. When Qin Chengtai is there, he will also go there to drink a pot.
"No need. I can make a pot of tea myself. After you finish recording the data, go and learn something by yourself. Didn't you tell Lao Qin that you wanted to do this kind of work in the future? For our scientific research work, we must thoroughly understand the huge knowledge system and dabble in a little bit of every aspect. If we master one, we will know everything." After Guo Qicheng finished speaking, he picked up the thermos cup by the door and walked into the room outside with a smile.
Lou Ai narrowed her eyes as she watched Guo Qicheng walk. Guo Qicheng was not a person with special powers, but she always felt that Guo Qicheng's postures did not seem like that of a middle-aged or elderly man in his fifties. His movements were very agile and he was familiar with all kinds of firearms. Once, when a test tube in the laboratory was knocked down by her, Guo Qicheng picked it up very quickly.
"Are you done here too?"
"Yes, the data should be out by midnight the day after tomorrow. Success or failure depends on this one move." The two assistant researchers in the laboratory breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "If it succeeds, our Maple City base will have a weapon to increase survival."
Lou Ai paused, as the night after tomorrow would be the night Qin Chengtai was murdered.
The power amplifier, so the purpose of killing Qin Chengtai is to prevent the power amplifier from coming out?
Lou Ai could only guess this for now, but except for Qin Chengtai.
Since entering the laboratory, Lou Ai has no time to go back to Xin Xin's team dormitory at night. She can only rest during the free time of experiments. In the laboratory, she has established an image for herself as a newcomer who is stupid and knows nothing but is very studious. She likes to do any errands or data-watching work, and often takes her chemistry textbook to ask various professors to teach her some basic knowledge.
This gave Lou Ai a good space for development. When she took her chemistry books and went to see Qin Chengtai openly, she was often greeted with kind smiles in the laboratory.
"Lou Ai, are you going to ask the professor questions again?" the long-haired lab lady asked with a smile.
"Yes, the experimental data will be out tonight, so we don't have time." Lou Ai touched her head and smiled embarrassedly, "I still have some simple questions here, or Sister Qi, can you teach me? Then I don't have to go to the professor."
"No, no, no, you should go find the professor. I have something else to do here." The young lady shook her head hastily and refused. "Go quickly. When our reagents are successful tonight, we still need to adjust the instrument test values. We will be even busier then."
Lou Ai smiled: "Okay." Almost all the people with good tempers in the laboratory had been harassed by her. She only learned basic knowledge and always remembered some basic reactions incorrectly. After everyone taught her a few times, they were unwilling to teach her again. Even Qin Chengtai had tactfully reminded her that she might not be suitable for scientific research.
Lou Ai knocked on the room where Qin Chengtai and Guo Qicheng were making tea.
"Come in." As soon as the door was opened, one could smell the aroma of tea in the room. It was Lou Ai's first time entering the tea room here. As a zombie, she didn't think the smell was bad. She even thought it smelled a bit nice. After she became a zombie, it was the first time she smelled a food that was so to her liking.
"Professor Qin, I have a question that I don't understand..." Lou Ai saw Qin Chengtai and Guo Qicheng sitting on the sofa in the room and smiled.
Qin Chengtai saw Lou Ai coming in, his hands trembled, and he took the chemistry textbook from Lou Ai and put it aside with a smile, interrupting Lou Ai's question: "Lou Ai, come and sit down, how have you been in the laboratory these days? Can you apply it?"
"It's pretty good. My colleagues are all nice to me." Lou Ai sat on the sofa, "It's just that I feel like I don't know anything and can't help them."
"You've done a great job. Before you came, people in our lab were quite resistant to spending a lot of time recording repetitive data. You've helped us a lot since you came." Qin Chengtai kindly handed a cup of tea to Lou Ai, "Try it. This is Professor Guo's private collection of tea. I just happened to find it today. You're in for a treat."
Guo Qicheng hesitated for a while before saying, "Yes, you are in luck. You have sharp eyes. You found it even though I hid it so deeply."
Lou Ai took the disposable paper cup and took a sip of tea. The fragrant aroma filled her mouth. It was so delicious that it made her want to cry.
"Professor Qin, did you know each other before the end of the world?" Lou Ai calmly asked about the relationship between the two people.
"How could I know him? No, but Professor Guo and I both graduated from S University. Xiao Guo graduated three years later than me, so he was my junior. I have never met him, but my friend who was a teaching assistant at school once told me about Xiao Guo. He told me a lot of gossip about Xiao Guo, such as that he skipped classes and was caught by a senior tutor who made him organize lab records for an entire afternoon. There was a microwave in the lab of the department next door, so he sneaked over to heat up a pancake there and was caught by the tutor... By the way, the girl he liked was Chen Mian, who was in the same class as us." Qin Chengtai recalled, "Chen Mian was from the Department of Art, and she was really pretty. Most of the students in our school liked her at that time."
"Senior, please don't tease me with such trivial matters." Guo Qicheng took a sip of water and said with a smile.
"Ah, no one thought that Chen Mian was actually coaxed away by you. I even went to the wedding when you two got married." Qin Chengtai said, and sighed, "It's a pity that Chen Mian didn't make it through this apocalypse."
"It's better that she's gone. Mianmian is kind-hearted and can't bear to see others suffer. How miserable she would be if she were still alive!" Guo Qicheng said.
Lou Ai took a sip of tea and watched Professor Guo speaking with his fingers tightly gripping the thermos cup, his fingertips turning white.
"It's just words to comfort myself." Professor Qin Chengtai took a sip of tea and said bluntly, "Who doesn't want to keep their family alive? I chose this experiment because it is quick and easy to promote. I want to save more people, so I came to study it."
"Yeah, I know." Guo Qicheng nodded, his eyes clearing his mind through the wisps of white smoke rising from the teapot, as if he was missing someone.
After Lou Ai finished a cup of tea, she felt warm all over her body. The warmth, which she rarely felt after becoming a zombie, spread through her stomach and spread to every part of her body.
Only…
Lou Ai looked at Qin Chengtai's cup. If zombies feel good after drinking the tea, will humans feel good too?
When Guo Qicheng made tea before, she had also smelled the scent of tea leaves, but the deep fragrance of the tea leaves was tinged with a smell of dust, which was not pleasant.
"Professor Guo. Why don't you drink tea?" Lou Ai seemed curious.
"Lou Ai, are you going to ask the professor questions again?" the long-haired lab lady asked with a smile.
"Yes, the experimental data will be out tonight, so we don't have time." Lou Ai touched her head and smiled embarrassedly, "I still have some simple questions here, or Sister Qi, can you teach me? Then I don't have to go to the professor."
"No, no, no, you should go find the professor. I have something else to do here." The young lady shook her head hastily and refused. "Go quickly. When our reagents are successful tonight, we still need to adjust the instrument test values. We will be even busier then."
