Volume 5: The Destruction of the Gods Chapter 31: The Great Corpse Tide Crisis
Yang Tianyao looked at the 10 bottles of milky white [Energy Serum] placed in the metal box, his eyes flashing with fanaticism, "I have a hunch that in here... we can find the answer to Ye Fan's promotion!"
The deputy deans and research group leaders of the laboratory all gathered around. The "power-enhancing potion" was developed by them together. If the side effects could be overcome, they would have done it long ago. It is precisely because they are currently unable to overcome the side effects that they finally made it like this. After ordinary soldiers take their "gene potion" and "power-enhancing potion" continuously, they can become first-order peak extraordinary people and mass-produce high-intensity warriors!
When they were doing the research, they left a way out, that is, the problem that cannot be solved at present. In the future, as the research on energetics becomes more and more in-depth, when human beings' research on crystal core energy reaches a new stage, it will definitely be able to solve the side effects of previous medicines, and then solve this dilemma. This is a helpless move, because the zombies' time lock will not wait for humans to slowly develop powerful energy potions. At that time, geneticists predicted... It can be said that all ordinary evolved zombies will become first-order evolved zombies in half a year. Time waits for no one!
So they started production ahead of time, killed the zombies ahead of time, and left the problems to be solved later. However... the research time to solve the side effects was earlier than all the laboratory personnel had predicted. They expected it to be at least half a year later, and by that time the zombies would have already started the next stage of the time lock.
Ye Fan brought variables!
If we can understand what happened to Ye Fan, it will have an immeasurable impact on China's more than 300,000 first-level peak transcendents!
Everyone held their breath and watched Yang Tianyao... He opened a bottle of milky white [Energy Serum] with great effort and pulled out the wooden stopper, "Wait a minute!"
A young female researcher suddenly said, and everyone looked at her in confusion. She leaned over and gently fanned the air on the test tube with her hand to let the smell reach her nostrils. This was a very standard laboratory action. In this way, if the gas is poisonous, it will not cause serious consequences if the nose is pressed against it and inhale too much at once. Everyone looked at the female researcher: "Xiao Li is very rigorous! What if these medicines have some hypnotic gas? We are all so close, there may not even be anyone to report it. We will all be hypnotized!"
The old researchers all smiled and nodded, "We are obsessed with it. We care too much about it and ignore the most basic safety inspection!"
"I suggest bringing an air detector over to prevent any unexpected events from happening. You should know that some toxic gases are colorless and odorless!"
Yang Tianyao didn't say anything. The things Shen Jin brought were still reliable, unless they were replaced on the way...
However, this time, a third-level extraordinary person is accompanying us, so it can be basically guaranteed that everything will be safe. "Just be cautious, it won't go wrong!"
While others were busy, the female researcher Xiaoli had already smelled the [Energy Serum], and a moment later, when everyone was waiting for her conclusion.
Xiao Li nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm... it doesn't smell like heather, so it shouldn't be that weird stuff. The main thing is that the color and viscosity of the stain are too similar to Brother Li's semen... Ahem, it's okay, let's continue!"
Everyone: \(“▔□▔)/\(“▔□▔)/\(“▔□▔)/
Research continues...
Kong Long had already said goodbye. After all, he was not a scientific researcher and could not help much inside. He could just leave these things to the researchers. He was going to receive his own things. After walking a few steps, he happened to meet Liu Jiannan, the head of the equipment department, who came out of the office next door. "Chief Liu, what good news is this with such a red face?"
"Haha! Isn't this Colonel Shen from Home No. 1 sending over another batch of standard equipment? I'll go receive it and then I can equip a few new combat teams. Professor Kong also has good news? Is there any progress in the research lab?"
"It should be coming..."
However, Kong Long was not happy about this, but Shen Jin promised to give him a private dose of medicine. If it has the same good effect as the last time, it would be fine. Kong Long's requirements are not high. He has drunk the [Energy Serum] and knows that this thing is effective in improving the physical fitness and supernatural power of extraordinary people. Whether it can solve the mystery of Ye Fan's advancement depends on what the laboratory says. The two of them came to the airport together. Two transport helicopters opened their doors and built a simple sliding cargo channel. The soldiers were moving armor and weapons down from above. The third-level middle-aged extraordinary who led the team saw Kong Long and walked over: "Old Kong, you are getting old again. If you don't exercise every day , you will die of old age sooner or later!"
Kong Long, who was already an old man, smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, please don't laugh at me. If had your talent, I would also go to the battlefield to fight. It's not useless. It's good enough that this old bone can do something for the country!"
Liu Jiannan was a little surprised: "Professor Kong, you call him... Senior Brother? This..."
It doesn’t look like it!
An elderly man who looked to be in his 60s called a middle-aged man who looked to be at most 40 years old "senior brother", "Although it is said that people learn things in different levels and specialize in different fields, but... the gap between you two is too big!"
Kong Long explained with a smile: "This is my senior Yang Wei, who is two years older than me. He taught me when we were doing geological experiments and served as a teaching assistant for our class, so he is my real senior. Don't look at his young age now, he is over 70! He is three years older than me!"
Yang Wei waved his hand: "Let's not talk about those old things. Everyone knows that extraordinary people can increase their lifespan and regain youth. There is a qualitative change when they reach the third level. Old Kong, you should put aside the things in your hands and go out with me to kill more zombies and hone yourself in battle. You are only 70 years old, why are you like an old man? Lying in the base on a recliner and listening to music every day?"
Only 70 years old?
Liu Jiannan wiped the sweat off his forehead… At this age, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a happy funeral.
But after taking a look at Yang Wei, he does not look like he is in his 70s. He now has strong muscles, a sculpted square face, and a murderous aura. He is a veteran strong man of Tianluodiwang. He has an extraordinary gene lock. At the beginning, he relied on his willpower to open the gene lock, and ate the zombie's crystal core in a daze. He did not die from the backlash of the gene, but his body regained his youth and he looked like a 60-year-old. This made him feel very magical!
Because according to the technological level before the end of the world, even if he took good care of himself, he would reach the end of his life in 10~20 years. Now the end of the world has given him another chance to live, he wants to become the highest extraordinary person and fight for his own lifespan!
Later on, he became obsessed with killing zombies as if he was possessed by a cheat code, and joined the Big Net to become an official person.
At the plateau base, I also met my former schoolmate, Kong Long.
At this time, seeing Kong Long's look of "I am a fighting waste, how can you beat me?", Yang Wei pointed at his nose and said, "You are still young and don't work hard. When you are old and dead, you will know that what I am doing is the right way... By the way! Here, Shen Jin asked me to bring this back for you. Hehe, this kid is really nice. He made a roasted whole lamb for us to eat, and we also drank the authentic Guojiao 1573. The taste... Tsk tsk!"
Kong Long caught the bottle of blue potion thrown to him with both hands. It was the consulting fee given to him by Shen Jin.
[Primary supernatural power advanced potion].
Lao Yang complained about Lao Kong's lack of ambition and then returned to the Dragnet Combat Team to report on the factory he had cleaned up...
Kong Long happily took the medicine back. "At present, Tianluodiwang has many energy projects, but... there are few finished medicines. After studying the Susanoo Eye of Chuibing Country, I found that it can indeed help people advance to the third-level extraordinary ability, but... several of the microorganisms have not been studied thoroughly, and I dare not study them rashly. According to what Dean Yang said, Xiao Ri... Chuibing Country must have no good intentions. It's better here in Shen Jin. The medicines are one after another. This time it's not [Energy Serum], but... it feels stronger!"
Even though Kong Long didn't have any fighting talent, he would not take the "power-enhancing potion" produced by Tianluodiwang. Even if it upgraded him to the advanced first level, it would have no effect on his lifespan, so it would be of no use to him.
Kong Long returned to his bedroom and took the blue potion. A powerful energy exploded in his body!
The total amount of energy is even greater than what he has in his own body!
Although this energy is strong, it does not cause any pain. It only makes him feel that pure supernatural powers are integrating into every cell of his body. His own physique is changing, his supernatural powers are increasing, and his body is getting stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Five minutes later, when the dust settled, Kong Long looked at his hands in shock and said in disbelief: "I am... Advanced Level 1!?"
A bottle of potion doubles his total superpowers!
Directly promoted to first-level senior.
Although it is not as good as Tianluodiwang's "Superpower Amplification Potion", this bottle of medicine has no side effects. It not only makes him stronger, but also allows him to better touch the threshold of the next stage. "I feel... I can reach the peak of the first level with a little effort, and..."
Kong Long is the most common power-type extraordinary person. He activated his supernatural power, and a layer of light golden light appeared outside his skin. "This is it! My supernatural power... has mutated?"
…
At the same time, Yang Wei routinely reported what he had seen and heard during his trip, as well as the battles he had fought along the way. In the command room of the dragnet, several team leaders were observing the zombie situation across the country. Yang Wei asked with interest, "How is it going? We are working so hard to kill zombies, so it won't take many days for the whole country to be liberated, right?"
During these three months, Tianluodiwang relied on the peak first-order warriors to carry out large-scale cleanup operations across the country. Among them, Shen Jin became the equipment warehouse of Tianluodiwang and equipped more than 300,000 soldiers with a full set of craftsman soul equipment, which greatly reduced the death rate of the soldiers. Moreover, the number of extraordinary people is still increasing continuously, because all provincial capitals across the country have obtained Tianluodiwang's genetic medicine formula and are working hard to produce it. Shen Jin's craftsman soul equipment is also being exported to all parts of the country in a continuous manner, with unlimited supply!
On the strategic map in front, green represents humans and red represents zombies. The large green areas represent the safe zones for humans, where there are no zombies at all. The dense red areas are the tide of zombies. The number of zombies can be roughly estimated based on the range of red.
After hearing Yang Wei's question, the head of the zombie observation team thought for a moment and formally replied: "Colonel Yang, our progress in killing zombies in the past two months is indeed very fast, which is a qualitative change compared to before, but... there is still a long way to go before we can liberate the whole country. In fact,... we are currently in a dilemma!"
"Dilemma? Isn't the situation very good now? On your map, the green area has obviously expanded several times since the last time I came here, and the area occupied by zombies has also shrunk by nearly half. Isn't it almost liberated?"
The team leader smiled bitterly and replied, "Yes, within our country, we have already eliminated nearly 400 million zombies. The outbreak has spread all over the country. For the estimated initial 1 billion zombies in the country, 40% have been eliminated. But in fact, we have not cleared 40% of the zombies!"
Yang Wei has been on the front line for many years, so he naturally understood what he meant: "I know, it's because of the reproductive zombies, right? They will breed small zombies, thus increasing the number of zombies, but...the number of those things is not large, right? Can they give birth to hundreds of millions of zombies in these few months?"
"I don't know the exact number, but there are indeed more than 700 million zombies at present. We have a long way to go, and the dilemma I mentioned does not refer to these 700 million zombies. After all, at our current speed, the country can eliminate millions of zombies every day. After we obtained the equipment of Home No. 1, the loss of soldiers was very small. Logically, we should be able to eliminate another 400 million zombies before the next zombie opens the time lock, but... this situation will soon disappear. The number of zombies we can eliminate every day will become fewer and fewer, and a national crisis will come..."
Yang Wei frowned. "Just say it if you have something to say. What crisis can't we, the third-level extraordinary people, solve? Except for some places in City B that we dare not go to, haven't we defeated the third-level zombies in other areas?"
The head of the zombie observation team sighed and said, "Colonel Yang, this is not a problem that can be solved by individual force. We have many high-end extraordinary people in China, so we can go to various places to deal with high-level zombies, but... the nationwide zombie outbreak is about to come, you see!"
He made some adjustments, and the red area on the strategic map representing the zombie tide became brighter and very eye-catching.
I saw that except for Province X and the plateau, where there were fewer big red circles, all other cities in the country were surrounded by red circles. There were also many green circles on the map, several times more than in previous months!
This proves that all the extraordinary people in the country have stood up and formed countless settlements of varying sizes. They spontaneously cleared the zombies around them. If three months ago, the map was still filled with sporadic green dots and a large number of red dots, and the land of China was full of zombies and humans surviving in the cracks, then now, the territories of zombies and humans are clearly divided!
Humans have completely united, and the zombies... are about to completely unite!
"The zombie tide will attract the zombies around. As more and more Z zombies appear, more and more zombie tides will appear. They absorb the zombies wandering around and continue to grow. They are about to turn the Chinese territory we have cleared into a mass of zombie tides. Once these zombie tides start moving... they will destroy everything we have conquered at an extremely fast speed !"
Shi Lai, the leader of the human observation team, watched as another green area disappeared from the map, and whispered, "A large number of zombies... have already begun their attack. We are about to lose the conditions to push forward the scattered zombies. I predict that in a month, our opponents will no longer be evolving zombies one by one, but only... zombies! Our dilemma is... Weapons of mass destruction have not yet been developed, and they are coming!"
Big zombie crisis!
