There was nothing unusual in the morgue.
Then why did the power suddenly go out?
Was it because of his sudden intrusion?
Fang Heng turned on the survival radio to contact Hao Zhou.
Fang Heng: “I suddenly lost power here. What’s the situation over there?”
Hao Zhou: “Everything is normal. Kun Ta learned electronic equipment manufacturing skills. He just tried to remove some useful props from the generator set. After he removed them, the generator set stopped working.”
“It was a false alarm. The power was cut off on their side.”
Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief and gestured at the iron door with his chin.
“I’ll go and see what’s inside that door. You’ll support me from behind.”
“Okay.”
Kun Ba nodded to show that he understood.
Fang Heng walked in front and carefully walked to the iron door.
“Who cares what’s inside? When the time comes, I’ll directly blast it out with a shotgun!” Fang Heng thought.
Due to the power failure, the original electronic lock on the iron door had lost its effect.
Fang Heng twisted the door handle and the door was easily pushed open.
So cold!
A gust of cold air hit Fang Heng and he couldn’t help but shiver.
The temperature of the air conditioner here was so low?
Fang Heng felt as if he had entered into cold storage.
The room was pitch black and Fang Heng shone his flashlight into the room.
The light that illuminated from the flashlight was blocked by the green plants in front of him, which made it impossible for Fang Heng to see the entire room.
Fang Heng could feel that the room was very large, and at first glance, it looked like a large laboratory.
But what was going on with these green plants?
Their growth was too good. The lush leaves almost blocked the path ahead.
“Fang Heng, these plants aren’t right. Be careful.”
Kun Ba stood guard at the door. He used a flashlight to light up the room.
“Okay.”
Fang Heng nodded and walked two steps into the room.
He also sensed it.
He sensed danger from these plants.
Fang Heng didn’t dare to get too close. He stopped more than ten meters away from the plants and started searching on the experiment table.
There was a notebook on the experiment table.
[Experiment team’s notebook — team leader: Xue Zhibin.]
Found it!
Fang Heng immediately picked up the notebook and began to read it.
[12.12]
The impact of the government’s intervention was greater than expected.
On the surface, the company was heavily fined, and all research projects on the T-virus were completely stalled.
The government seized and emptied all relevant research data.
But in fact, they had no real data at all.
We had collected a lot of raw data from the biochemical crisis virus outbreak in City S three years ago.
Our research on the T-virus was much deeper than they had imagined.
The supervisor told me clearly that the experiment would continue.
[2.10]
I was assigned by the company to lead the team to Hope Town Community Hospital to continue the research on the new mutation virus.
The dean of the Community Hospital was one of our sponsors, he had been secretly supporting our research.
As early as three years ago when the virus project began, Hope Town Community Hospital had been set up as one of the company’s secret research points.
The dean would do his best to support our team accordingly.

The laboratory environment was a little worse than I expected.
We had to buy a lot of equipment, and some special equipment had to be customized from the company and shipped over.
The hospital morgue was very good, and there was an endless supply of corpses for us to do physical research.
The dean would help us get rid of all the trouble, and we just needed to focus on the research.
We appreciate the dean’s support of our company.
[3.13]
1. Using the T-virus to infect normal plants, resulting in mutated life forms. In our research, we found that the T-virus and the corpse vine had the best combination. We named the infected plant corpse vine.
2. Corpse vines were different from ordinary plants. They had strong vitality and showed extremely strong offensive ability.
3. Corpse vines could not move. It seemed to have some basic hypersensitivity. The vines could shrink a distance in a very short time.
[3.17]
1. It was impossible to determine whether the corpse vines can think, feel pain and remember.
2. The research on the corpse vines was temporarily interrupted. The company ordered us to enter the next phase immediately.
3. In the next step, we would try to combine the corpse vine with the corpse, it was said that there was such a phenomenon in the biochemical crisis that broke out in City S three years ago.
[3.29]
1. The experiment had a breakthrough and the replication was successful. We obtained a life form from the abnormal combination of a mutated plant body and the corpse. (The specific operation would be recorded in the experiment notebook).
2. After the corpse was resurrected, it formed a life form that was similar to a zombie. This kind of mutation was different from the intense mutation of animals. It was very difficult to control and their ability to move was extremely slow.
3. A new life form that was half human and half plant? Or did the plant use the corpse as a carrier?
[4.5]
1. It was parasitism. We discovered that the corpse vine had completely invaded the brain of the corpse, and within seven days, it had completely ‘digested’ the host’s head. After that, the corpse vine ‘occupied the magpie’s nest’, and controlled the corpse to move.
(The process was very bloody. The head of the corpse would explode on its own, and a plant-like tentacle would grow out of the neck.).
2. We needed more samples for testing.
3. To be able to focus on the experiment, the dean agreed to temporarily close the morgue.
[4.30]
1. We temporarily called the zombies that were infected by the corpse vine, the corpse vine parasites.
2. The corpse vines were sensitive to temperature and light. They did not like being exposed to strong sunlight. However, after observing for a long time, we concluded that even after being exposed to sunlight for a long time, the corpse vines were only dehydrated.
3. When the temperature was below 15 degrees Celsius, the activity of the vine zombies was greatly reduced.
4. When the temperature was below 5 degrees Celsius, the corpse vines would enter a dormant state.
There were still a few more pages at the back of the log, and it was not completely over yet.
But when he read until this point, Fang Heng suddenly felt a chill on his back.
He immediately understood.
Oh no!
It’s the temperature!
Everything was related to the temperature!
The drop in temperature could cause the corpse vine parasite to enter a dormant state temporarily!
No wonder the temperature in the morgue was so low!
No wonder the hospital’s backup generator set guaranteed the power in the basement first!
Fang Heng immediately thought of the corpses lying on the ground in the morgue with their heads blown off.
They were not dead.
They were just corpse vine parasites that had fallen into hibernation!
Now that they had lost the backup power supply, the air-conditioning in the morgue was no longer working…
In that case, the corpses hidden in the morgue would come back to life!
It was dangerous!
“Quick! Let’s leave this place first!”
Fang Heng shouted and put away the notebook. Then, he turned around and left the room with Kun Ba.
As soon as the two of them returned to the morgue, two zombies slowly got up from the ground and blocked the entrance of the morgue.
The temperature at the entrance was the highest! They were the first to exit hibernation!
The zombies stuck out a strange, wriggling vine from their broken necks.
They intertwined with each other to form a twisted mass.
