Chapter 767 - 728: Mummy Preservatives
After hearing Zhao Rong’s analysis, the three women couldn’t help but bite their lips. They looked at Zhao Rong and said, "Big Brother Zhao Rong, whether it’s good or bad, terrifying or safe, we’ll listen to you..."
Miss Lili stepped forward, grabbed the hem of Zhao Rong’s clothes, and said, "Big Brother Zhao Rong, whatever you decide, we won’t hesitate, even if it means climbing a mountain of knives or plunging into a sea of fire."
Yu Lan hugged Zhao Rong from behind, resting her face on his back. "Big Brother Zhao Rong, as long as you’re with me when I sleep tonight... then I won’t be scared anymore."
Xuelian rushed forward as well, wrapping her arms around Zhao Rong’s waist and cuddling up to his side. She said coquettishly, "Big Brother Zhao Rong, you have to hold me while I sleep tonight, no matter what. I’m scared of ghosts, and I’m even more terrified these dead bodies will come back to life."
As he led the three women into the mortuary, Zhao Rong tried to dispel their fears. "Miss Lili, Yu Lan, Xuelian, don’t worry. With me here, I guarantee your safety, one hundred percent."
With Zhao Rong’s reassurance, the three women immediately felt at ease.
When Zhao Rong led them into the mortuary, they were immediately shocked by the scene before them. Zhao Rong stared at the room, which was even larger than a basketball court, and said in amazement, "I never imagined the mortuary in this hospital would be bigger than a basketball court. If this place were filled with bodies, just how many would that be?"
Yu Lan looked at the white sheets covering the beds and asked curiously, "Does that mean there’s a dead body under every one of these sheets?"
She then noticed that the temperature inside the mortuary was surprisingly comfortable and remarked in surprise, "Generally, places that hold dead bodies are supposed to be kept below zero degrees. That’s the only way to keep the corpses from decomposing. How come I feel that the temperature in here is at least twenty-six degrees? It’s so warm, comfortable, and even humid..."
Hearing Yu Lan’s words, the wasp patient stepped forward and explained with a smile, "You might not know this, miss, but before I came to this mortuary, the temperature really was below zero. It was freezing. However, I realized that if I wanted to stay here long-term, I had to adjust the temperature to something more suitable. So, I moved the hospital’s biggest air conditioner in here, and I also brought in a lot of heaters. That’s how I managed to raise the temperature in this enormous mortuary from zero degrees to twenty-six degrees Celsius."
Before the wasp patient could finish, Xuelian interrupted him, asking in utter amazement, "But you’ve set the temperature to twenty-six degrees Celsius. Sure, it’s comfortable and warm for you, suitable for human habitation... but aren’t you worried that these corpses will decompose and start to stink within a few days?"
At that, the wasp patient took a packet from his pocket that looked very much like instant noodle seasoning. He showed it to Xuelian and said, "With this stuff, there’s no need to fear the corpses rotting, deteriorating, or even stinking."
Looking at the packet in the wasp patient’s hand, Miss Lili asked, puzzled, "Wait a minute, wasp patient, that thing in your hand looks just like an instant noodle seasoning packet. How can you say it will keep these bodies from decomposing, rotting, spoiling, or smelling bad?"
The wasp patient explained to Miss Lili, "The thing is, this isn’t an instant noodle seasoning packet. It’s a mummy preservative."
Hearing the words "mummy preservative," Yu Lan immediately thought of the millennia-old mummies in the Egyptian pyramids that never decayed. She asked in amazement, "Wasp patient, does that packet in your hand really prevent these corpses from decomposing, even in high heat and humidity, without letting them give off any smell?"
Tearing open the packet, the wasp patient told Yu Lan, "You guessed right, pretty lady. As long as I have this mummy preservative, these bodies won’t decompose, no matter how hot or humid it gets."
As he spoke, the wasp patient sprinkled the powder from the packet onto a nearby corpse.
Xuelian was very interested in where the wasp patient had gotten the so-called mummy preservative. She asked, "Where did you get this amazing stuff?"
This guy... he couldn’t have bought this amazing stuff from the Paradise Shopping Cart like Big Brother Zhao Rong, could he?
The wasp patient pointed to a laboratory not far from the door and told Xuelian, "This packet of mummy preservative? I got it from the hospital’s lab right over there."
At that moment, the assistant stepped forward to ask the wasp patient for some of the preservative. "Bro, that mummy preservative of yours is great stuff! Can you spare a packet for me?"
When the three women heard the assistant asking for it, they questioned him, puzzled, "Assistant, you aren’t planning to stay in the mortuary long-term, so what do you need that for? Are you planning to become a tomb raider?"
The assistant chuckled mischievously. "With this mummy preservative, I can turn Thousand-Year-Old Zombie Meat into fresh meat and sell it to make a fortune!"
When the three women heard that the assistant was planning to become an unscrupulous businessman and make a fortune, they immediately swarmed him, gave him a beating, and warned, "You poser! I didn’t realize you were such a scumbag! Are you really planning to pass off zombie meat as fresh meat and sell it, endangering public health? We three beauties are going to teach you a lesson! You need to learn that even if you’re a businessman trying to make money, you have to have some integrity!"
After the three beauties gave the assistant a thorough beating, he immediately gave up on the idea of getting any mummy preservative.
At that moment, the wasp patient suddenly yawned and said, "It’s getting late. We should get to sleep."
With that, he turned off the light and lay down on the floor to sleep.
When the three beauties saw the wasp patient turn off the light to sleep in the pitch-black mortuary, they all felt utterly terrified.
