Lu Heng put all the films into his spatial storage. He then asked the veterinarian, "Have you taken X-rays after the apocalypse began?"
"No, much of the equipment was in the hospital. When the apocalypse first started, no one thought about moving large items like these from the hospital. But once zombies gathered in the city, it became difficult to acquire such large equipment."
Surviving daily in the apocalypse, people had let go of many things from before, focusing only on how to live and see the next sunrise.
It was only after arriving at Wuming City that this veterinarian had the chance to interact with such medical equipment again.
"Control the equipment here. Do not use it for humans in the future. If anyone wants to take an X-ray, they must go to the medical clinic in the city."
Lu Heng instructed these people. He was still unsure about the bone-like object in people's brains. He didn't know if it was a mutation in the bodies of human ability users that caused an image of an extra bone in their brains.
It was better to clarify these things first to avoid causing panic among those unfamiliar with medicine, as human skeletal structures had not changed much over thousands of years.
"Oh, alright. I'll inform the staff on duty," the veterinarian nodded at Lu Heng.
"Brother Lu, are you here to see the Siberian tigers?"
At this moment, Lin Yu's voice sounded from behind him. Lu Heng turned his head towards the entrance.
Lin Yu walked to Lu Heng's side and said, "I just came to see them. The doctor said they are doing well."
"Yes, the doctor just told me. Did you need something from me?"
"Yes, but it's not urgent. Do you still want to see them first?"
"No, let's discuss the important matter first. The doctor is here, so there won't be any problems."
Lu Heng then led Lin Yu back to the room upstairs. After washing his hands, Lu Heng asked Lin Yu, who was sitting on the living room sofa, "Tell me, what did you need?"
"We are planning to arrange for the city's teams to go out and kill zombies, and also bring back resources from some areas. However, everyone's storage rings have limited space. I wanted to ask Brother Lu for some accessories with larger storage space."
"This, no problem. I showed you some styles of storage accessories last time. Which kind do you want?"
Their storage accessories couldn't store similar items, which was one of their weaknesses. Therefore, Lu Heng never dared to give Lin Yu too many of them.
"Just give me ones with larger storage capacity. The appearance doesn't matter."
"Alright." Lu Heng said, after a moment of thought, an item resembling a bracelet, with an ancient and heavy style, appeared on the coffee table in the living room.
"How about this one? It's better to have something convenient to carry."
In fact, there were even larger storage items, like necklaces, but these were not very convenient for people who needed to fight in the apocalypse. They could easily get snagged and lost in a chaotic situation.
"How many do you need?"
"Let's start with forty."
Clatter...
As Lin Yu finished speaking, a pile of bracelets appeared in a corner of the room.
"I didn't count them, but there are about forty. Let me know if you need more."
"Yes, by the way, Brother Lu, if you have time, tell Pang Hu in advance. Don't let him cause trouble when the Siberian tigers are about to give birth and the veterinarians are helping below."
"Okay, I'll tell him right away." Lu Heng was also worried that if he went out in the next few days and it coincided with the Siberian tigers giving birth, he was afraid Pang Hu would interfere with the veterinarians' delivery.
Lu Heng communicated with Pang Hu and his mate using his thoughts, and finally specifically told Pang Hu not to interfere with the veterinarians' delivery.
Pang Hu was very obedient to Lu Heng and responded cooperatively.
"I might be going to another world again soon. I won't keep the director this time. With Pang Hu and the others here, if there's anything you can't handle, contact me through them."
"Alright, everything in the city is going smoothly. Brother Lu, you can rest assured."
"Oh, let me show you this. I accidentally took an X-ray, and I discovered that there seems to be an extra bone in the human brain image. I can't cut open anyone's head to see if there are any structural changes inside."
Although he had killed some people before, it was always during combat. After killing people, they were usually discarded, and no one thought about analyzing structural changes in the human body.
"This part should be the location of the zombie crystal, right?"
After several battles, Lin Yu was familiar with the location of the crystals in the zombies' brains and could accurately retrieve them after killing a zombie.
"It is indeed this location. I have also seen the crystals in the brains of several high-level ability users, and they were all in this location, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time."
"Also, when humans mutate into ability users and upgrade by absorbing crystals, their brains experience brief pain. Could this be the reason for the changes in the human brain?"
"I'll have someone research this," Lin Yu said, frowning as he looked at the X-ray.
"We should also research the brains of mutated animals. If possible, have someone catch a few mutated animals for research."
Human live experiments were not allowed, but it was fine to use animals.
"Arrange for the medical clinic in the city as well. Don't take X-rays of people's brains for now. Let's figure out what's going on first, and then open it for public use."
"Okay."
"One more thing, I forgot to tell you. I went to Longcheng earlier and brought back some of their research materials on the zombie virus to our city."
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, "They must be going crazy."
"That's not necessarily true. They have always conducted this research behind the backs of other bases. I suspect that many bases are secretly researching these viruses. They don't want to be the first to publicize information about virus research, so they all hide it, not wanting other survivor bases to know. I've given all the materials to Chen Dong to see if there's anything useful."
"Yes, Chen Dong has his own insights into pathological research. When I was planning to hire him, I chatted with him for a long time. Although I didn't understand many of the technical terms, I didn't feel like he was a mad scientist."
"Yes, let them handle this research. However, the personnel for zombie virus research are still limited. For these scientific researchers, we can attract researchers from other places by offering our base's data and welfare benefits."
"Yes, I will discuss this with Chen Dong and see what the next steps are."
It was time to start attracting top-tier talents in various technical fields. As for combat personnel, Lu Heng could improve the combat level of all personnel. With the current number of people, it was completely sufficient. If the overall combat capability was not good, it was not necessary to increase the numbers; improving the combat level from a quality perspective would suffice.
