Volume 6: The Twelve Wallfacers Chapter 33 Murata? Zero?
Shen Jin put a [Second-order Energy Crystal Core] into the [Molecular Recombination Instrument], and the electricity from Home No. 1 poured in crazily. Thanks to the power grid system established by Jia Taolong, the civilian electricity and the electricity used by Shen Jin's machines were separated and connected together through the [Fiberglass Wire] in the industrial module, which can achieve ultra-low loss power transmission.
This allows Shen Jin to still use the headquarters' electricity in Jinzhou District.
"It will take a while to finish the [Star of the Netherworld], so I'll take some medicine first!"
Shen Jin took out the potion he had just drawn - [Cell Activity Development Potion], a bottle of glowing white liquid, "Ton ton ton ton~!"
After drinking it, a strange power merged into every cell in Shen Jin's body, continuously enhancing his cell activity. After the transformation was completed, a continuous sense of power surged up from his body. As a third-level transcendent, Shen Jin was very familiar with his physical condition. He immediately knew that this was because his cell activity was enhanced, thereby increasing his recovery ability, allowing him to quickly recover from injuries, strength, and superpowers.
Although there is no visible improvement in combat effectiveness, the recovery ability has been greatly enhanced!
"My recovery ability has increased by almost 50%. So strong! And this is only my basic cellular recovery ability. If I practice the meridian method with the energy atomizer, my daily ability to recover will be 4.5 times that of an ordinary third-level extraordinary person!"
Shen Jin made a maximum energy supernatural food that lasted for 40 minutes, then turned on the energy atomizer. The light golden energy factor diffused, and Shen Jin began to practice the meridian method, "Hu——"
His body was like an energy black hole, drawing the surrounding energy factors into his body. In just a few minutes, Shen Jin's supernatural powers were fully restored!
However, the four [first-order energy crystal cores] on the energy atomizer exploded and turned into a ball of powder. The absorption just now was too rapid, and all the energy in the crystal cores was sucked away. "For the energy in my body now, it should be more appropriate to absorb the second-order crystal cores, but... there are too few second-order ones. I'd better use the first-order ones. At most, I can change them a few more times!"
The total amount of superpowers that Shen Jin's body can accommodate is about the same as 4 [Second-level Energy Crystal Cores]. In other words, if he uses the energy atomizer to continuously restore his superpowers every day, he will have to consume at least 4 [Second-level Energy Crystal Cores]. It's too extravagant!
With so many crystal cores, Shen Jin can create four second-level primary transcendents!
Now his [Second-level Energy Crystal Core] is in urgent need of storage and its warehouse is empty, so it definitely cannot be used to restore his superpowers.
Moreover, the total energy factor of one [Second-level Energy Crystal Core] and 10 [First-level Energy Crystal Cores] are almost the same. There is no difference when it comes to using the energy atomizer to restore superpowers, so it is better for Shen Jin to use 40 [First-level Energy Crystal Cores] every day to restore his superpowers.
Anyway, the zombies outside are all first-level evolved zombies, so there will be no shortage of first-level crystal cores.
"At this recovery rate, I can make 240 supernatural foods that last for 10 minutes every day. Wow! This should be able to meet the needs of the supernatural team!"
A week ago, Shen Jin recruited 1,000 people from the No. 1 Academy to supplement the various extraordinary teams. Now the overall extraordinary strength of the base is as follows:
The city defense army led by Liu Jin: 1,000 people, the corpse-killing team led by various captains: 2,000 people, the self-defense force led by Yang Ao: 500 people, the superhero team led by Sun Li: 50 people, and the death squad led by Meng San and managed by the supervision team: 2,120 people.
The current official total number of extraordinary people at Home Base No. 1 is 5,670, mainly managed by Yang Ao.
There are also a large number of pseudo-superhumans who are responsible for the logistics work, and their number is countless, at least more than 10,000 people.
Shang Qian is in charge of the administrative department of the entire base. She arranges the logistics and ensures the orderly development of the four bases. The subordinate departments include: Power Bureau, Commerce Bureau, Construction Bureau, Human Resources Bureau...
Among them, people from the Power Bureau and the Construction Bureau were often dispatched by Shen Jin to assist him in completing various strategic layouts.
Shen Jin’s current task is to develop the technology tree and provide the base with stronger machines, equipment and food.
While everyone else was keeping their feet on the ground, Shen Jin was looking up at the stars!
Today, driven by the efforts of everyone, No. 1 Home is bursting with infinite vitality!
"According to the current situation, the elite troops strategy is still correct. My supernatural food can't satisfy the continuous expansion... and on the surface, my people are all second-level extraordinary people, but everyone can burst out the power of the primary third-level. In addition to the death squad, the other 3,550 people are actually potential third-level extraordinary people! The terrifying strength should be unique in the world, right? I can now make 240 third-level supernatural foods that last for 10 minutes every day. It takes 15 days to equip them for one round, and there are always losses in daily tasks. If we encounter a large wave of zombies, we need to use a lot of supernatural food... Then according to the current daily use The depreciation rate is estimated to take 20 days for each person to increase the reserve of one supernatural food. Now, everyone only has one battle food that lasts for 5 minutes, and the Senzu beans made before, so next I will give each of them two 10-minute battle foods and one 10-minute medicinal bean!"
This time will take 60 days!
Two full months.
"So... according to my current capabilities, 3,550 people is enough. If there are more, the overall combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed. In the future, we will have to equip them with quantum armor and zombie ability balls of the same level, which will consume too many resources. From now on, everyone in my zombie-killing team will become a special soldier among the extraordinary people! If we add more people later... we will not give such good treatment. Even if we are ordinary soldiers, everyone will have: three-piece set of craftsman soul + alloy equipment + laser gun + crossbow, that's it!"
The number of 3,550 official team members is the number that Shen Jin has calculated, and it is the maximum number that can be mobilized at this stage.
If the end of the world is a game, he is the overlord of the territory called "Home No. 1". With the highest command value, he can lead so many elite soldiers, and the rest can only be militia.
"Oh yeah, there's also the Suicide Squad... I don't know what their situation is like lately!"
Shen Jin called Meng San over through the [Quantum Helmet]. Now that the captains have all changed into quantum suits, communication is very convenient and they can be called at any time.
Meng San, who had just sat cross-legged and was about to practice the meridian method, heard Shen Jin's call and quickly came to Shen Jin at twice the speed of sound, like a ray of light, and arrived in a flash.
If it weren't for the advanced strength of the second order, it would be difficult to react at such a high speed. Of course, you can choose the intelligent operation of the quantum armor, and it will fly over by itself at the next command, but... in actual combat, you still have to rely on your own reaction ability. The intelligence of the quantum suit is limited, just like a rigid machine. It is still too difficult to expect it to help take over the battle.
Meng San asked, "What's wrong, boss?"
"Tell me about the current situation of the Suicide Squad!"
Meng San thought for a moment and said seriously: "The death squad originally had 3,102 people, and currently there are 2,120 people left, with 982 casualties, of which 559 were killed by the supervisory team and 423 died at the hands of zombies.
Among those who were beheaded, some had retreated from the battle, and some had rebellious thoughts. The rest had passed Ms. Lu Daizhen's lie detector test and had no thoughts of rebellion for the time being.
Most of the people who died at the hands of zombies did so because of their lack of experience in fighting zombies. These people used to be the National Self-Defense Force of Shenji, and most of them had never fought zombies. They had great strength but zero experience in fighting zombies, so the death toll was relatively high.
Now, after a month of high-intensity zombie clearing operations, they have become familiar with the battle with zombies, and the casualty rate has dropped significantly. Most of the 423 deaths occurred in the past two weeks.
Among the remaining 2120 people, there are 560 second-level extraordinary people and 1560 first-level extraordinary people. Now that they have stabilized and adapted to the rhythm here, their combat effectiveness is still very high and can help our Corpse Killing Team do a lot of things.
Moreover, because the Shenji headquarters has been destroyed and our psychological counselors have moved in, most people have given up any illusions about returning to their country, have accepted the fact that they will have to live here in the future, and are actively integrating into the life of our Home No. 1.
During this period, according to the rules you set, those who performed well have been given some freedom. They no longer need to live in collective dormitories , but can purchase houses in designated areas, live their own lives, and better integrate into Home No. 1. These people who moved out have aroused the passion of most members of the Death Squad. Now they have a subtle distinction between the upper class and the lower class based on whether they own a house.
Besides... there is another thing I am about to report to you, about their special abilities..."
At this moment, Meng San showed a strange look on his face, as if he had seen a ghost. "Oh? Don't they need to constantly take blood to suppress their abilities? What method did you use later? How are they doing now? Tell me in detail!"
These people need to drink blood to maintain their superpowers, but after being captured, there is naturally no such supply. Shen Jin also does not allow them to drink such things as it goes against the will of heaven.
Unless they are willing to drink zombie blood...
But he was "kindly" rejected by the members of the Suicide Squad, who said they could endure it.
Meng San continued, "Oh! They don't need to drink blood now. I applied to you for a batch of [Energy Serum], which is used to suppress their superpowers. The side effects of their superpowers are actually a defect, and [Energy Serum] can just repair this defect, just like repairing the sergeants whose potential was overdrawn by the Tianluodiwang superpower amplification potion, it can also repair their superpowers. They are now the same as normal extraordinary people. Even if they don't take blood, they will not have emotions such as violence, bloodthirstiness, and hallucinations. Moreover, the strength of their superpowers is very high, all at the B-level level. Because when using superpowers, the body will burst out with blood-red energy waves. I call their superpowers-blood fighting spirit! I thought this matter had been perfectly resolved, but... a very strange thing happened today. There was suddenly a hooded man in the death squad..."
Shen Jin stood up in an instant!
The quantum armor quickly floated out from the energy source in the chest and covered the entire body!
"Murata is back!?"
Shen Jin still can't forget the super strong man Murata who fought against everyone in Home No. 1 alone.
Although they won in the end, Murata, who was supposed to be dead, disappeared, leaving only a torn hood. This has always been a concern for Shen Jin, because they analyzed... the Murata who was killed might be the body of some clone technique, and the real body was not dead yet. Shen Jin had the Corpse Killing Team conduct a carpet search on Omotesai Island several times, but they did not find anyone who might be Murata's real body.
As time went by, nothing happened and I forgot about it, but I didn’t expect Murata to come back again!
How could Shen Jin not be nervous!
Meng San smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, don't worry. That person is not Murata, and his strength is only at the peak of the second level. I talked to him today and got a general understanding of him!"
Shen Jin said cautiously: "Could it be a clone of Murata?"
"No, no... After talking to him, I found out that the real Murata should be dead. Maybe he is Murata No. 2 , but... Hey! It's too complicated. Boss, come with me. I'll take you to see it!"
Shen Jin was a little hesitant, but thinking that Meng San was the most cautious in doing things, and that he now had the strength of a third-level advanced person, after eating his special food, although he could not kill Murata, he would definitely have no problem escaping. So he followed Meng San to the collective dormitory area of the suicide squad.
This is a separate area built for them by the construction team. It is open on all sides, with a large yard and dormitory in the middle, just like the Sona Prison in the third season of "Prison Break".
Among them, more than 100 people were awarded the right to live outside because of their good performance and perfect passing of psychological tests. They bought houses outside with the spoils they had accumulated from many battles.
But today, they were all kept by Meng San.
Shen Jin walked into the middle of their yard, and one of the hooded men was particularly conspicuous!
Although he was dressed the same as Murata, but... Shen Jin knew it was not Murata at first sight. All the analyses of the quantum helmet did not match. The body shape and energy intensity were different. Moreover, he was indeed only a peak-level second-order transcendent, far from having the suppressive power of Murata, a peak-level third-order transcendent.
These are all secondary. The most important thing is... his temperament is completely different from Murata's. If Murata gives people the feeling of endless darkness and pain, this hooded man is peaceful and warm.
Shen Jin breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them came to the hooded man, and Meng San patted him: "Boy, come here, this is our boss - Shen Jin!"
The hooded man was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at Shen Jin. A ball of white light was faintly visible under the hood.
Shen Jin squinted and couldn't see through his face. The hooded man stretched out his hand: "Hello, I'm their boss, you can call me by my name - Zero!"
"Number Zero?" Shen Jin looked at Meng San with some doubt, and Meng San said he didn't know either.
"This is the name I just gave myself. I have forgotten a lot of things in the past, but... I seem to have seen you before!"
The hooded man looked at Shen Jin and seemed to remember something...
