The primary purpose of constructing this research institute was to unravel the secrets of the zombie's body and discover a solution to the zombie problem.
Even if they couldn't completely solve the zombie issue, the secondary goal was to identify some weaknesses of the zombies through research to develop better coping methods for future encounters.
Previously, Bai Jie and Xiao Lan dissected zombie corpses and studied their composition, eventually discovering an important characteristic: the bodies of zombies are highly flammable with a very low ignition point, only two-thirds that of diesel.
This discovery proved crucial, so later during a Zombie Tide, Li Yu resorted to using gasoline which proved to be quite effective.
However, it was too costly and excessively depleted resources.
Moreover, the duration was not long, as once ignited, zombies didn't burn en masse like dry firewood.
Thus, this method had its pros and cons and was only suited for the most urgent situations.
