Volume 6: The Twelve Wallfacers Chapter 30: Zombies Open the Second Time Lock
The first year of the apocalypse, June 30th.
Today is the day when zombies around the world will open the next level of time lock. All the people in Home No. 1 have returned to the base and have been assigned to defend the city walls of the four districts.
Zombies evolved on this day, but... whether they evolved into first-level evolved zombies, or whether other higher-level zombies would evolve further, and what they would evolve into, was all unknown.
Humans only know that they will become stronger today, and certain abilities in their genes will awaken. It is speculated that like last time, all zombies will be promoted to the first level, but it cannot be completely certain.
Therefore, on this day, the global alert was raised to the highest level. In major biological laboratories around the world, countless scientists held their breath and observed the changes in the captured zombies...
At all times, they wanted to thoroughly study the zombie virus, which was a very unreasonable thing.
In China's biological laboratory, Yang Tianyao and Liu Shicai stood together, discussing the next evolutionary direction of the zombie virus. Behind them, there were two people standing. They were the second and third wallfacers who had just come out of seclusion in the past few days. They came to observe the opening of the zombie time lock this time, because... they discovered something in their research, and it is very likely that they can get the answer from the changes in the zombies this time.
12 noon.
Shen Jin sat on the city wall of Jinzhou City, looking at the few ordinary evolved zombies wandering below, pounding the city wall made of [Compressed Cobblestones]. Their fists were all bloody, but the wall was still strong. It was not something they could shake. Ordinary evolved zombies, no matter in which direction they were strengthened, were only about twice as strong as normal humans. Pseudo-superhumans could easily kill them, and well-trained soldiers could also kill them using military crossbows or multiple people in close combat.
So since the zombies underwent their first time-lock evolution, life for humans has not been too hard. During the past six months, China's Tianluodiwang has vigorously developed extraordinary powers to clear out zombies across the country. According to the latest data from Tianluodiwang yesterday, they have killed a total of 600 million zombies!
The bases in various cities have become stable. The most difficult thing to deal with now is the large number of zombies gathering from all over the place. Individual zombies will only appear in large numbers in areas where the dragnet has not established branch bases.
According to satellite monitoring by Tianluodiwang, there are still about 600 million zombies and about 50 million humans in China.
In other words, over the past year, the dragnet has cleared out half of the zombies.
According to the report of the zombie observation team of Tianluodiwang, if humans do not intervene, the number of zombies will remain at a stable level, that is, the number of zombie deaths and the number of new zombies born every day are basically the same.
Mutated zombies attack their fellow zombies and eat their zombie flesh and zombie viruses to grow, while reproductive zombies reproduce little zombies to add to the zombie team. Although there are also various strange and deformed zombies to devour or produce,... their main consumption and replenishment are these two types, and they are basically balanced.
Although the human population is still declining, the rate of decline has already hit rock bottom. They kill a large number of zombies every day, constantly narrowing the ratio of zombies to humans. One day, when the human population is reduced to a certain number, the zombies will completely disappear!
According to the current trend, theoretically speaking, in one year, the dragnet will completely liberate China!
Of course, these are just theoretical numbers.
"There is still strength in numbers. Among these 600 million zombies, the extraordinary people of Homeland No. 1 have fought for so long and have only contributed more than 10 million, accounting for 1/60 of the country's total. However... it's pretty good that we can do this!"
Shen Jin looked at the zombies below and marveled at the achievements of Home No. 1 over the past year.
Although he was not able to directly lead his men to kill a large number of zombies, but... his equipment was sold well in all the Tianluodiwang bases across the country. If it weren't for these craftsman soul equipment and [energy serum] to strengthen the Tianluodiwang warriors, they would have suffered great losses and would not have been able to kill so quickly.
Yang Ao sat next to Shen Jin, "Brother Jin, our speed will get faster and faster. Now, our zombie-killing team will deal with the zombie tide, and then the civilian supernaturals will carry out the locust plan to wipe out the remaining zombies. The cooperation is very good. If we continue with this tactic, we can make the snowball bigger and bigger. With the large triangle No. 1 home base we built as the center, we will radiate to the surrounding areas and gradually eliminate the zombies in North China and Northeast China, and then cooperate with the dragnet to take over the whole country! I hope their strength can catch up with us by then!"
"Well... Tianluodiwang should not be underestimated. Their strength is also steadily increasing, only a little slower than our Home No. 1. Currently, there are also large-scale outbreaks of . As long as we maintain this state, after the next stage of the zombie time lock is opened, their overall strength will be suppressed by us. Moreover, with Tianluodiwang's meridian cultivation method, the combat effectiveness of our Transcendents of the same level can be doubled, and we can kill zombies even faster!"
A golden light emerged from Yang Ao's body. With the help of the energy atomizer on his head, he began to absorb the energy in the crystal core crazily. "This set of cultivation techniques is really powerful. It is also very effective for gene-locked extraordinary people like me. Steady practice can not only increase physical strength, but also stimulate the degree of opening of my gene lock. As long as all extraordinary people continue to practice this technique, the progress of extraordinary people will be faster in the next year! I really don't know who invented this technique. It's a natural talent! If humans were still fighting wild beasts before this kind of practice, then this technique is a stone weapon, leading us into the Stone Age! It's like an overall evolution!"
Shen Jin nodded in agreement. Now all the extraordinary people in Home No. 1 are practicing this technique , and their strength is improving rapidly.
"This is an evolutionary war between humans and zombies. This technique increases the speed of human evolution, allowing us to be one step ahead of zombies! If nothing unexpected happens today and the zombies only evolve to the first stage, then... we will definitely win!"
"Um!"
The two ended their conversation and waited quietly for that moment to come. Behind them, in Jinzhou District, the construction team and the people from the Power Bureau were working to expand the city walls, repair the city, and build power lines.
Perfecting this city that is in need of reconstruction.
In the past few days, Shen Jin has produced another 400,000 ordinary [solar generators] and assigned them to Jia Taolong, who is responsible for installing them in various districts. These machines need to cover an area of 400,000 square meters, and there must be no obstructions on them. They must be able to get sunlight all day long, and they must be connected together with wires and gathered in Shen Jin's several large studios.
It is a big project. Currently, Jia Taolong and his team of 2,000 people are busy with the installation. After the installation of these 400,000 [solar generators], they will bring 40 million kWh of electricity to Shen Jin every day.
Together with the wind power and hydropower installed in Jinzhou City, the total amount can reach 76 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.
During this week, in addition to making quantum armor, Shen Jin also made a [Quantum Solar Generator], which brought in 10 million kWh of electricity per day. Combined with the original 370 million kWh of electricity at the total base, the total daily power generation reached 456 million kWh.
Very objective!
The power generation of the entire base is gradually increasing!
At this time, 51 small black dots appeared in the air and flew towards them.
Shen Jin stood up. A moment later, Sun Li returned with all 50 members of the superhero team and landed on the city wall. Sun Li bowed and said, "I have accomplished my mission!"
Then someone behind put down a pile of [steel storage boxes] and built a metal Optimus Prime on the city wall.
Shen Jin's eyes lit up: "Inside... are all of them?"
"That's right, Jin-ge, these are all [diamonds]! A total of 882,352!"
"What the hell? So many? 880,000?"
"Yes! We searched the factories and warehouses according to the locations given by Professor Kong and found a large number of industrial diamonds. They are all artificially synthesized powders, but they are extremely pure. Many of them were used for export before the end of the world. There are about 600 tons in total!"
"Good fellow! What a good fellow!"
Shen Jin instantly replenished the [diamond] reserves in the warehouse. The [diamonds] should be enough for a short period of time.
At present, [diamonds] are mainly used to make [MFSU power storage boxes] and [quantum solar generators]. If the [molecular recombinator] is not required to consume electricity to make [diamonds], with his current total power generation, he can make a [quantum solar generator] in two days!
But... in the long run, these [diamonds] are still not enough. The future development of [advanced solar energy] requires a steady supply of [diamonds]. The [advanced mining machine] deployed by Shen Jin has been scanning for a while. It has currently scanned to a location 90 kilometers underground. Now, only some sporadic [diamonds] and [iridium ores] have been harvested, and no large amount of mineral deposits have been found. Fortunately, in another week, the "craton" geological layer will be scanned, and it may be possible to find the huge amount of diamonds predicted by Kong Long...
"Good! You did a great job, go and have a rest!"
"It's okay, we're not tired. Today is the time for the zombies to open the next level of time lock. Let's watch it here too!"
The other 50 young team members followed Sun Li and wanted to talk to Shen Jin, but they were a little timid.
They have been cultivated from having nothing to where they are now thanks to Shen Jin. This man is too mysterious and powerful. He is the great lord they worship!
Shen Jin laughed, "Okay, then let's watch here together to see what the zombies will evolve into. Come, Xiaobai, come to my place!"
Among them, Bai Hang, who is fair and tender, walked towards Shen Jin with a blushing face. He has big eyes, double eyelids, a pretty nose, and natural red lips. If he is willing to dress like a woman, he might be able to turn many people gay...
And he looks so weak that people can't help but want to bully him.
Shen Jin pulled him to his side and patted his head. "Xiaobai is always a favorite wherever he goes. Do you think this is due to his supernatural powers or his personal charm?"
The others also laughed. They often touched Xiaobai like this. Sometimes after class, a group of people would take turns to line up and touch Xiaobai's head. It felt good and was beneficial, and they could also see him pouting pitifully.
The brave Huo Zhenqiu said: "Brother Jin, touching Xiaobai's head is so addictive. I feel uncomfortable if I don't touch it for a day!"
Everyone laughed and Xiaobai's face turned red, but he didn't dare to move under Shen Jin's big hand and could only blush in shame.
After Shen Jin touched it twice more, he directly called up the system and spent 1,000 [World Coins] to exchange for two bottles of [Random Potion], [Obtained: 1 Level 3 Supernatural Power Advancement Potion, which can advance a Level 2 Advanced Supernatural Power user to a Level 3 Primary Supernatural Power user after taking it]
[Obtain: Cell Activity Development Agent × 1, after taking it, it can slightly increase the cell activity of the extraordinary person, increase their own repair ability and ability recovery speed (each person can only use it once)]
"Fuck! Awesome! I love you so much, Xiaobai!"
Shen Jin rubbed Xiaobai's head hard several times before letting him leave.
This is the best thing he has ever drawn from the store!
This [Random Potion] is completely random. In order to improve his abilities, Shen Jin would try his luck occasionally, but he never got anything good. He spent 500 [World Coins] to draw a bottle of [Primary Superpower Awakening Potion], which almost made Shen Jin cut off his hand that day. He shouted that he would never touch this money-cheating thing again!
I finally got to hold my head high today, and even won two good things in one go!
[Third-level Supernatural Advanced Potion] Needless to say, this is the top-level potion that the store originally had, which allows people to be promoted directly from a second-level advanced level to a third-level transcendent!
This step has stumped most of the second-level advanced transcendents. It is not just like being promoted from the first level to the second level. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will be able to get there one day.
The upgrade from the second stage to the third stage is an upgrade of the spirit and a qualitative change in human evolution!
Just look at the number of third-order extraordinary people in Home No. 1. Currently, only Shen Jin, Li Moxiao and Yang Ao have been promoted through their own abilities. Shang Qian achieved this by taking potions. Otherwise, with her mediocre combat talent, she would probably be stuck at the level of a second-order extraordinary person for her entire life.
I only spent 500 [World Coins] to get a bottle of potion like this, it’s really a huge profit!
Another bottle of [Cell Activity Development Agent]. Although it was the first time Shen Jin saw it, the limited-edition stuff must be good!
This potion can increase the activity of his cells. Now, with the help of meridian practice and energy atomizer, the speed of his supernatural power recovery has increased by 2 times. If the basic recovery of his body is improved a little, it will be amplified a lot!
He would make more supernatural food every day. On a small scale, it would be an improvement for him personally. On a big scale, it would be an improvement in the strength of the entire No. 1 Home!
"Too strong, worthy of being Xiaobai!"
However, Shen Jin stopped after drawing twice, because he had tested Xiaobai's ability and found it was not permanent. It would take some time to replenish it after it was consumed, so he had to be careful to avoid drawing a bunch of garbage and chopping off his hands in anger.
"I've saved up a lot of [World Coins] recently. Next time... I'll draw another module!"
Shen Jin thought so.
As time passed, at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, there was a loud thunder in the sky!
“Boom boom—”
The zombies below...all raised their heads and looked at the sky, as if there was something there attracting them!
Their DNA...moved.
Shen Jin suddenly remembered what the Second Wallfacer had said to him last night, "The zombies' ability to evolve may not belong to Earth at all. They have genes that resonate with a certain existence outside..."
