Volume 5: The Destruction of the Gods Chapter 42 Energy Atomizer
The people from Shenji did not pursue, but rushed back and tried to contact the 10 search teams, but... they could not contact any of them.
When the researchers in the laboratory heard the news, they became anxious!
"How can we do research without people? I haven't finished researching the human-powered aircraft yet. This won't do. I need to go to the headquarters to ask!"
"Tomorrow they should provide me with at least five first-level gene-locked extraordinary people. I have just made some progress in my human and zombie gene fusion technology!"
"My research will also be forced to stop. Let's go together!"
A group of elderly researchers in white coats blocked the entrance to Shenji.
Inside the Shen Ji headquarters, there was also chaos, with angry shouts from big shots constantly heard. An hour later, all the top executives of Shen Ji came to the conference room and looked at the materials provided by the Intelligence Department. They were groups of satellite photos and videos, and more information could be seen from the photos. "This is an extraordinary army of no less than 1,000 people. Their armor all comes from the same organization... Tianluodiwang! I saw this kind of armor some time ago. It is very hard, far beyond our armor manufacturing technology. The extraordinary army of Tianluodiwang all wear this kind of armor, exactly the same!"
In the photos taken by the satellite, we can see that the army was beaten to a pulp by the suspected dragnet, with no ability to resist. "Have all the elite troops of China been dispatched!?"
Murata, a middle-aged man with facial paralysis sitting very close to the front, coughed, and everyone at the scene fell silent. "Today's escape of the intelligent zombies and this attack happened at the same time, and I can basically confirm that they are a group of people, all masters of the dragnet. Come on, zoom in on the sixth picture!"
He pointed a laser pointer at the picture, which showed 100 people flying in the air with their backs to the satellite, holding mining laser guns and aiming at the energy ship below.
"You can see from this picture that the people of Tianluodiwang already have two top technologies. One is a single-person flying vehicle with ultra-long endurance, and the other is a powerful energy weapon. These two things are the basis for them to dare to challenge Shenji. When our search team was floating on the sea, we did not deliberately guard against the air and were ambushed by them. This is the main reason for the annihilation of the search team!"
"New equipment of the Dragnet!"
All the top leaders of Shenji were shocked. This was too sci-fi!
The virus outbreak has only been going on for more than nine months. Excluding the initial month of chaos and integration, humans have only been formally studying "energetics" for eight months!
Moreover, most of the previous energy has been spent on researching various brands of "genetic drugs" on how to make humans evolve into extraordinary people. How is it possible to develop a super-long-distance single-person aircraft in such a short time?
How could they develop an energy gun that is more powerful than thermal weapons?
"The Chinese... could it be that they are the creators of the zombie virus? Have they already studied energetics in advance? Is that why they have such sophisticated equipment at this time?"
"It's unlikely, right? China is also full of zombies. If it was the United States, I would believe it. After all, compared to them, the Chinese are too soft-hearted..."
"No, my wife went to study in China for a while before the end of the world. She said that Chinese people are very strong!"
Everyone: ...
"Now that it has become a foregone conclusion that China's dragnet has produced this new type of equipment, let's think about how to deal with it?"
President Murata's words silenced everyone.
Yes, what should we do?
After a moment of silence at the meeting, an old man who had been keeping his head down spoke up: "Since we have been surpassed by China in terms of equipment, why don't we take their equipment and manufacturing technology and solve the problem?"
"Well, that's easy for you to say! China is a vast country with a large population. The number of their extraordinary people will only be more than ours, not less. Now that they have this new type of equipment, why would you go and rob it? I think you want to die!"
He stood up by the well, his hunched body seemed frail, but a strong bloody aura lingered on his body. One could smell a disgusting smell of blood when sitting next to him. No one dared to underestimate him. He was the third best master of Shen Ji, a third-level extraordinary master with even more terrifying supernatural powers, which allowed him to exert a stronger power than his level, far stronger than the extraordinary masters of the same level. It was said that his actual combat power was not worse than that of the number one boss of Shen Ji.
At this time, he laughed grimly: "Hahaha... When will you improve? Dimensions, patterns, do you understand? If I become a fourth-order extraordinary person, no matter what new equipment he has, it will only be a passing cloud. By then, as long as I am alive, the whole world will crawl at the feet of Shen Ji!"
The boss, who had been wearing a hood, said, "Oh? Jingbian-kun is going to start your 'seed plan'?"
"That's right! Boss, in another month, my 'seeds' will mature. By then, as long as I harvest 10 seeds, I can take this step! The fourth stage... is not out of reach! Therefore, we can't move now. Suspend the search team and lie dormant for this month. By then... I will also create a world! A world that truly belongs to us! Take all the land that our ancestors didn't get!"
By the way...take over the position of Shenji's boss as well.
The old man by the well thought so in his heart, but his face was still respectful to the boss hidden in the hood, as if he was a diligent old general serving the emperor.
"Does anyone else have any objections? If not, then we should follow Jingbian-kun's advice. All the gods will lie dormant for a month and wait for the seeds to mature! By then... the Heavenly Net will bear the wrath of the gods!"
"But... those old researchers outside are starting to make trouble. They don't want to stop the experiment and want more extraordinary test subjects..."
The boss sitting at the head of the group had an expressionless face, and a chuckle came from his hood. "Tell them that the experimental subjects will be supplied as scheduled tomorrow. The research cannot stop, especially the one with the genes of the extraordinary and the zombies!"
The person asking the question was a little confused at this time: "But... our search team has been wiped out. Even if we want to replace a group of new people, it will take some time to build the energy ship. How can this be possible...?"
The boss of Shen Ji looked up at the street outside the window. A group of people were queuing up to receive relief from the government. "We still have a lot of first-level extraordinary potions... right?"
Everyone: “This…”
…
“A-choo—”
"A-choo——"
"A-choo——"
In the meeting room of Tianluodiwang, people kept sneezing. "Hey! That's weird. Why are they all catching a cold?"
"Is there someone plotting against us behind our backs?"
"You're overthinking! We've been clearing out zombies from our country, how could anyone care about us? If anyone cares about us, they're just complimenting us on how good our Dragnet fighters are, they definitely won't curse us!"
"That's true..."
The people in the dragnet continued to do their work.
The proportion of stragglers and roving zombies across the country has been decreasing. A large number of zombie tides have formed and are wandering among the cities in China. Today, two cities were attacked by medium-sized zombie tides of 300,000 and 500,000 respectively. The base that had been painstakingly built for half a year was breached, and more than 100,000 survivors were forced to flee the base. Now, with the support of the dragnet, one led the survivors into the mountains, and the other fled into the old military base.
The supplies in these two cities will soon be running out. It is now the 10th month since the zombie virus attack. There are fewer and fewer clean edible supplies outside. If there is no food... everyone will starve to death. All the survivors in a city will starve to death!
The dragnet cannot be ignored; they are responsible for every city and every compatriot in China!
On their shoulders, they carry the entire Chinese nation...
All departments were busy and used all available resources, and finally temporarily solved the problems of the two cities.
Kong Long from the Resources Department touched his hairline and said, "Ah... If this happens a few more times, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my white hair. Liu Jiannan, are the people in your Equipment Department all useless? Can't they make anything? Are we just going to let the zombies keep attacking like this? Can't we come up with some powerful counterattacks?"
As soon as the meeting ended, Kong Long pointed at Liu Jiannan and scolded him. He smiled bitterly and said, "The crystal core implosion mines were produced by our department, and the individual equipment for Home No. 1 was also purchased and distributed by us. We previously invested a lot of energy in researching cold weapons and armor to deal with zombies, but in the end... they were not as useful as Home No. 1. Then we devoted ourselves to researching energy equipment... But how can it be so fast? Give us some time, Old Kong!"
"Bullshit! It's all bullshit! The implosion mine has been developed for several months, and you can't come up with a new product? All the equipment is supplied by others. What if Shen Jin stops supplying in the future? Will all the soldiers in the country go to kill zombies naked???"
Liu Jiannan muttered quietly, "Other people's equipment can absorb zombies' blood to recover...theoretically, it can be used for a long time!"
Kong Long pointed at Liu Jiannan, shaking with anger. "You...you, you! Go and urge those scientists in your backyard who are bombing the base every day. The bombing makes the loudest noise. If you have the ability, why don't you just bomb the zombies? If you can't come up with weapons of mass destruction, and let the zombie tide mess up the good situation in the country, you will be the sinner of China! The kind that will be nailed to the pillar of shame!"
After saying that, Kong Long left angrily.
Liu Jiannan touched his hair, looking like he had a toothache. "How can we research a new weapon so quickly? How many weapons in the world can use energy scientifically? This thing is not simpler than controlled nuclear fusion!"
But after thinking about it, Liu Jiannan also felt that if he couldn't make any efforts now, the local governments would be too difficult to deal with. "Not all bases are called No. 1 Home..."
Even if there are 2000+ extraordinary people, they are still stretched to the limit when facing a tide of zombies numbering hundreds of thousands. In a battle between cold weapons and facing zombies that are not afraid of life and death, it is difficult for humans to defeat a tide of zombies that is more than a hundred times their number.
Zombies can use their own flesh to pile up and wear out the defending extraordinary people.
"I hope... the Wallfacers can find the key to using thermal weapons. Even if the zombies evolve to the first stage in two months, they will be defeated by the powerful firepower!"
Firepower is truth!
Liu Jiannan walked to the experimental site of the Equipment Department in the backyard. Most of the venues here are outdoor. After all, the experimental equipment is not the same as the research on chemical biology. It requires a sterile operating environment and meticulous observation. Weapons and protective gear are all used outdoors and are too powerful. At this time, two scientists wearing craftsman soul armor ran out quickly. It can be seen that they have exerted the speed of the first-level power-type extraordinary to the extreme. Liu Jiannan's face changed, and he turned around and ran. He knew too well what would happen next.
"Are you already doing experiments wearing the Craftsman's Soul equipment?"
A huge impact force came from behind, "Boom!"
The experimental site behind the two scientists had exploded, with pebbles and dust all over the sky. "Ahem...what are you doing again, big brother?!"
The two scientists glanced at Liu Jiannan, wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths, and walked back calmly, "Make weapons of mass destruction!"
Liu Jiannan asked in surprise, "How is it? Is that the new weapon we just tested? It's quite powerful! It's already more powerful than the crystal core implosion mine. Can it be mass-produced?"
This is such a pleasant surprise!
He originally just came to see what these scientists were doing, but he didn't expect to get something good right away. He could use the new equipment to slap that old guy Kong Long in the face!
The scientist said calmly: "This thing is quite powerful, it uses energy very efficiently, and it is easy to carry, but..."
"What is it?"
"It's just... there's no way to control when it will explode!"
Liu Jiannan: “…”
So they made a bomb that exploded randomly?
Liu Jiannan's good mood disappeared in an instant. These people are still so unreliable!
My head hurts!
Liu Jiannan felt that it would be difficult for him to stand up again in this tight net. Look, the biological laboratory has recently developed energy healing potions and muscle improvement potions to enhance physical fitness. The experiments have been completed and they will be mass-produced and distributed to the soldiers below.
What about your own department?
Being mocked by colleagues every day for being a gigolo of Shen Jin, and being supported by No. 1 Home!
"Fuck! I'm leaving now. Hurry up and fix this random bomb. The zombies from all over are coming. We can't hold on without weapons of mass destruction!"
He put pressure on these scientists, hoping that they would be more reliable.
At this time, a tall and thin scientist wearing the Artisan Soul Armor emerged from another empty mountain. Liu Jiannan couldn't help but complain: "Is your current scientific research... so dangerous? Artisan Soul Armor per person?"
The two scientists nodded affirmatively.
Above the tall and thin scientist's head, a disc-like device followed his movements, continuously spraying white spray from it. His face was surrounded by white mist, as if... he was about to ascend to heaven.
"Fuck... Brothers , please stop messing with me! What the hell is this??? An upside-down incense stick that emits smoke is lit on the head?"
"No, no! This thing is the latest research result of our fellow brothers. I call it... Energy Atomizer!"
Liu Jiannan: "Uh...???"
