I'm building Gundams in America

As the two were talking, Alex helped push out several portable beds, and together with Mike David and the others, they carried the body bags full of stuff out of the Toyota.

Upon seeing the six corpses, Alex couldn't help but whistle and say:

"What a bumper harvest!"

Wayne nodded:

"Yes, winter is a harvest season."

As they spoke, the two of them pushed all the bodies into the St. Mary Biotechnology Company building and smoothly made their way into the morgue.

Surprisingly, this spacious and huge morgue was now decorated with some simple decorations, and even had a liquor cabinet, making it look like a buffet.

Charlotte, the head of the St. Mary Biotechnology Corps's mortuary project whom they had met last time, was also present.

In front of the morgue cabinet on the wall, there were now many high-backed chairs with openwork patterns.

Seeing Wayne and the others pushing the corpses in, Charlotte couldn't help but smile, as if a store manager had seen delivery personnel.

He quickly greeted them:

"Mr. Wayne, you've come at the perfect time. Today is a fine day. Let me see what good things you've brought."

Charlotte wore exquisite makeup today, a stark contrast to her haggard appearance when Wayne brought the corpse over that night, clearly showing how much she valued today's event.

Wayne nodded as a greeting and made a gesture; Mike and David beside him had already opened all the body bags.

"The bodies were relatively fresh, and the time of death was one to two days ago. The cause of death was mass drug overdose at a booster party. There were about eight to nine kinds of drugs at the scene. In addition, all of them were homeless people—according to the police, there is no information about their families."

As he spoke, Wayne picked up another plastic bag, which was filled with syringes and medicine:

"These are all the drug samples collected on site."

Upon hearing this, Charlotte's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly walked to the mortuary bed, saying with a joyful expression:

"Excellent! Several of these drugs have only recently been released to the market, and these corpses can provide the most up-to-date data on human responses..."

Seeing the state of the corpses, Charlotte frowned and said:

"Damn it, are the seagulls having a buffet with these corpses?"

David muttered:

"Yes, ma'am, you should really see this. It's like a fucking Puff Daddy party, you know, they like to make a mess of things."

Charlotte pondered for a few seconds, then smiled and said:

"Fortunately, our clients this time have a high demand for this type of OD cadaver; appearance isn't their primary concern... Alright, let's begin. Mr. Wayne, you'll need to wait a moment."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.

A staff member behind him immediately came out of the morgue.

In no time, a dozen men and women in suits, wearing masks and goggles, entered the morgue under the guidance of the staff member.

They sat in those chairs.

They appeared very relaxed, and the medical terms they used were quite professional.

There were also several service staff members holding tablets nearby, who were thoughtfully serving hot drinks or occasionally handing them the content on their tablets.

Charlotte stood before the crowd, several morgue beds containing corpses beside her, a professional smile on her face, and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the mortuary care project of St. Mary Biotechnology. I am Charlotte, the project manager."

"Winter is a harvest season, and this winter's harvest is even more abundant than usual due to the winter storms caused by the Arctic cold wave."

Upon hearing this, many people present burst out laughing, clearly agreeing with Charlotte's joke.

Charlotte continued:

"Everyone here is an old friend of ours. I think we can get to the point as soon as possible. First, let me introduce the items for this auction. There are a total of 36 bodies, of which 17 are fresh bodies that were kept within 72 hours."

"Eight bodies were voluntarily donated, and eighteen bodies had no identification information. Before each auction, I will provide detailed information about the body, and the information terminals used by staff will also display the relevant information..."

Charlotte spoke quickly, while Wayne and the others had already found some empty chairs in the back and sat down. Alex explained the scene to Wayne in a low voice:

"Every winter is the time when major biopharmaceutical companies and academic research institutions purchase large quantities of cadavers, mainly because many companies and institutions need to prepare their new year's budget at the end of the year, so everyone...sigh...stocks up..."

"In addition, the supply of goods is relatively abundant in winter... especially in December before Christmas, which is the second peak of unnatural deaths each year... the peak is in June in the middle of the year."

He was speaking Chinese, and at an extremely fast pace, which ironically created an encryption effect.

Wayne nodded.

He lived on the streets and knew all too well how high the mortality rate was for the homeless during the winter.

A single flood in the sewers could cause the bodies to burst open.

Alex continued:

"Because there are so many companies and institutions that need corpses, some companies that ship them will hold several auctions at this time, with the highest bidder winning."

"Look, this is a representative from the University of Washington School of Medicine, the one in front of me is from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and there's also the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation... and that one over there is from Johns Hopkins University..."

Alex casually introduced Wayne to the men and women in suits present, most of whom were representatives from local Seattle universities and institutions, with the occasional representative from other cities.

For example, Johns Hopkins University is located in Baltimore.

Wayne frowned and said:

"Why would Johnny Hopkins' people come all the way to Seattle to bid on a corpse?"

Alex shrugged and said in a low voice:

"I heard they're working on a few projects lately that require some corpses killed with mixed enhancers, and their local Baltimore stockpile is probably almost gone. Ugh... this industry is a fucking hellish joke collection."

Wayne nodded and looked at the people in front of him, immediately seeing names appearing above their heads:

Ghoul

【vampire】

【The Painful Boy】

Bone Craftsman

Leather tailoring

……

You've stumbled upon a feast of ghosts and monsters. Leave safely to receive a reward.

Wayne nodded.

Those who work in this industry for a long time and don't develop depression are basically going to become abnormal.

Those with unique names have clearly developed other hobbies related to corpses.

Without the support of a system, one might gradually go insane.

What was that old saying of ours again?

This is a corpse-collecting operation, and I alone receive firewood.

He then asked Alex in a low voice:

"Alex, you just said someone's trying to get you, what's going on?"

"Sigh..." Alex sighed and said, "Remember when I said I used live video streaming to restore my SAN and stabilize my mental state? That's where the problem lies... I went into too much detail about my work experiences, which angered many people who wanted me to shut up..."

Wayne frowned and said:

"Is it a local gang? The U.S. government? ICE? FBI?"

Alex shook his head, gave a wry smile, and said:

"Sigh...no, they are some local Chinese and people from Run."

Wayne nodded.

They were parasitic humans and two-headed dark elves.

That's normal.

Those who convert are fanatical.

They must desperately denigrate their motherland and elevate Western University in order to prove that their choice was correct.

Otherwise, their lives would become a joke.

Their spiritual pillars have all collapsed.

Wayne then said in a deep voice:

"Alex, my brother, if you need my help, you can call me right now, or just come to that street in the South District and I'll give you any assistance you need."

Deep down, Wayne still considers himself a member of East University, and when his own people are in trouble, he will naturally do everything in his power.
