I may have ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and Chip's gonna die

[FrenchestBaguette]

So, I started the quest to get Chip's Spleen in San-Francisco, and have to go to the Flying Dragon 8 and talk to Lao Chou to move forward in the quest.
So I went there and realised that I killed him earlier in my playthrough.

The reason I did kill him was to get better gear "earlier" in the game, (by putting plastic explosive C4 on him, going out of the town and then come back a few hours later, and he is dead when you come back, no one is hostile, you have access to all his stuff including power armour, etc) and I didn't realise that I would need him for this quest.
Is there a way to move this quest along to get the spleen from Dr.Wong Yi Tze, or even revive Lao Chou?
If not, that's okay, I'll just let Chip die and continue on my playthrough :/

Chip is doomed. Best to just save the girl at the bottom of the ships hull to get access to the captain.
