Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 81 Who knows more about zombies than me?

"Using dictamnus glycosides to proliferate specific T cells is very fast, and the antibody magnetic bead separation step also only takes a short time. However, we need to prepare some materials. It takes about a day to prepare enough specific T cells."

"one day?"

Murphy was somewhat surprised; if it only took a day, perhaps Selica could really be saved.

As the last line of defense for the human immune system, and a super immune arsenal with unlimited countermeasures, once the human immune system activates specific immunity, there is basically no enemy that cannot be defeated.

He originally thought that Selica had already been infected and that if the infection continued for a few more days, she might die. That's why he told Alex in advance so that he could be mentally prepared.

But now it seems there might still be hope for her.

Since we've already decided to go to the village to get the Seed of the Heart, we should save Selica if we can.

This T-cell immune enhancement therapy requires the collection of the subject's immune cells, so Murphy had a large tube of blood drawn.

These blood cells are then centrifuged to obtain peripheral blood mononuclear cells, which are then activated by antigen induction and magnetic bead sorting before entering the clonal proliferation stage.

Murphy no longer needed to get involved in these matters. After leaving the Baiyao R&D Center, he made a phone call to the Chemical Risk Group through a special channel provided by the security team, requesting some equipment. Since many of these items were prohibited from being privately owned, Murphy had to pay a considerable sum of money.

But Murphy didn't care at all; he hadn't even spent all the cash he'd robbed from Yzak.

……

Two days later, in Calfilly Town.

Murphy took out a map, looked at it, and then looked up at the forest in front of him. "This is it."

Following the clues left on Celica's paper crane, the two found the stone pillars at the edge of the forest. After activating them one by one with magic, their vision seemed to suddenly widen, and the trees moved on their own to the sides, revealing a narrow path just wide enough for one person to pass through.

"Remember, just wait here. Don't go inside. I need you to provide backup outside. If anything happens, I'll contact you via paper crane. Just do as I say. Understand?"

Murphy gave Alex his final words of advice.

"Understood. Boss, be careful." Alex said, handing a briefcase to Murphy.

The latter took the seamless extendable suitcase, opened it, first took out an M40 gas mask and put it on, then took out a Class A chemical protective suit and wrapped himself up completely, then took out a tactical belt and tied it on, with four wands, a baton, a tactical knife, a Glock, and an MP5K submachine gun inserted on it.

After checking all the equipment, Murphy walked straight into the forest under the dumbfounded gaze of Alex.

The trees kept parting in front of him and closing in behind him. After walking for more than ten minutes, Murphy arrived in front of a stone wall.

"Um?"

Serica didn't mention any stone walls.

He was preparing to blast a hole with a thunderous explosion, but after thinking about it, he took another step forward, and his gloved hand reached out and disappeared directly into the wall.

"I see."

This wall is similar to the one on Platform 9¾; it's a hidden passageway.

He stepped inside, walked through a dark passage, and then stepped out, arriving at a small bridge.

A small river flows around the village under the bridge. On the opposite bank are several brick and stone buildings with thatched roofs. The white paint on the walls has almost completely peeled off, revealing the broken red bricks underneath, making them look very old.

It's already November, the autumn wind is biting, the sky is exceptionally high and the visibility is excellent.

Murphy could clearly see the orchards and livestock sheds enclosed by low fences in the village. Further away, some farmland was scattered under the dense ash and beech trees, and several people dressed as farmers were driving livestock in the fields, seemingly cultivating the land.

The entire village is planted with beech trees, and everywhere is covered with red and yellow fallen leaves, making it look quiet and peaceful in the sunlight.

This place has beautiful scenery.

"Woof! Woof!" A few barks drew Murphy's attention back.

Turning his head, he saw a dark brown Welsh Terrier barking wildly at him from the steps of a small house not far away.

Murphy glanced at it, not paying any attention. Just as he was thinking about how to find Selica, he suddenly felt something was wrong and looked at the dog again.

The dog was extremely thin, and its black and gray fur was covered with something stuck together in clumps, as if it had just crawled out of a garbage dump.

However, it wasn't these things that caught Murphy's attention. He carefully examined the dog's right cheek and, sure enough, found a dark object hanging on its face, swaying back and forth with its barking.

On that black thing was a rope-like strap that connected to the dog's sunken right eye socket.

"..."

Sure enough, it was an eye.

An eye that had long since dried up.

Looking at the dog again, there were clearly several rotten spots on its body and face, and its fur had fallen off. It was covered with dirt or some other kind of filth, which was not very noticeable.

The dog is probably dead.

Murphy thought for a moment, then drew an old wand. "Avada Kedavra!"

"Bang!" The dog was struck by the spell, sent flying, and crashed into the door of the small house.

However, after a short while, the dog stood up shakily again. Apart from a hole in its chest where it had been struck by the curse, the death curse, which was feared by everyone in the wizarding world, seemed to have no effect on it.

He was indeed dead.

It can move even after it's dead, what is that? A zombie dog? A shadowy dog?

However, he still noticed something different: what appeared to be a bluish, translucent substance was visible through the hole in the dog's chest.

Could this be...?

Murphy was preparing to unleash a blazing fire to see how fire-resistant the zombie dog was when the door of the small house suddenly opened.

An elderly hunchbacked woman with a scarf wrapped around her head came out. She was clearly stunned for a moment when she saw Murphy's appearance, but she still slowly walked down the steps. Behind her was a young man who kicked the dog, and the dog stopped barking.

"You must be a new guest." The old woman had a kind face and was holding a notebook. "Outsiders don't often come to this village, so you need to register first."

"Register?"

Murphy glanced at the exposed bone on the old man's outstretched left arm, shook his head, and said, "No need. I'm here to find someone. I'll leave as soon as I find them."

"No! There's the Black Death outside! No registration, no entry!" The young man glared fiercely at Murphy. "What if you bring the plague in? And what are you wearing? Take it off! Show your face!"

Murphy rolled his eyes as he looked at the fist-sized hole next to the latter's neck below his collar.

Take off the protective suit?

Do you want to get sprayed in the face with your vomit?

You think I've never played Resident Evil?

Do you even know that I'm the boss of Umbrella Corporation?

Who knows more about zombies than me!

However, he also felt a bit curious.

These guys are obviously dead, but why are they still talking here and worrying about the plague?

Zombies and corpses alike are devoid of consciousness, aren't they?

"Have you been handling registrations here all this time?" Murphy asked. "Have you seen a girl named Selica?"
