Chapter 80 Zombie Mutation

As if in an instant, the white clouds outside the window were replaced by turbid radioactive dust, the smooth walls were crawled with cobweb-like cracks, and the wooden doors and windows "began to wither"...

It was like a sudden change of style.

The soft touch on the back is still the same, but it is already "the other side".

And this is his room in the villa in the last days.

Sitting up from the bed, Jiang Chen glanced at the clean and tidy bed under him, and a smile could not help raising his lips.

Not a bit of dust. Although I don't know if it's Yao Yao or Sun Jiao, it's obvious that someone takes care of it every day.

Picking up the leaning PK2000 from the corner, Jiang Chen gestured with it in his hand after a long absence. In the room, only the gun was covered with a little dust. Picking up a rag and wiping it down, he threw it into the storage space.

Pushing open the door, there was a creaking sound from the corner. He quietly walked to Sun Jiao's room, in order to give a surprise kiss to the person he hadn't seen for a long time.

Exclamation of joy and hug of reunion after a long absence, feeling the pounding heartbeat, Jiang Chen grinned wickedly and hugged Sun Jiao, who was embarrassed, and then went with her to the outer circle that was being expanded.

Walking on the bluestone road in front of the main building of the villa, he always felt an unspeakable joy in his heart.

Just like a feudal lord in the Middle Ages, the villa was his castle, and the people outside the castle were his people working diligently. Sun Jiao standing beside him was the mistress of the castle, and Yao Yao in the villa. ...Uh, let's talk about Yao Yao later.

Standing here before, he could only smell the oppressive smell in the air, but now he is relaxed.

There is no conspiracy, and there is no need to speculate on people's hearts. After all, everyone's heart rate is marked on his EP. If it weren't for the troublesome implantation operation, and there was no related equipment, he really wanted to get a slave chip to use in this world.

But when he pushed open the villa door, he was stunned.

"Uh, why did the expansion project stop?" Jiang Chen looked at Sun Jiao beside him and asked with a wry smile.

Building materials piled up in the open space, and the expansion of the base came to a complete standstill.

"The zombies outside are a bit strange recently." Sun Jiao's eyes were a little dignified, and she led Jiang Chen up the concrete tower by the wall.

Jiang Chen looked in the direction Sun Jiao pointed, and a shocked expression gradually appeared on his face.

"These zombies—"

"Yes, every day is like taking medicine." Sun Jiao picked up a stone and threw it out.

The stone slammed on the roof of a car with a sound of "duang!", and the zombies nearby immediately rushed towards the car as if they had taken medicine. The car door was deformed under the squeezing of the corpses, and the dirty hands smashed through the car window indiscriminately, overturning the hood...

After a while, the zombies realized that there was no living thing here, so they gradually dispersed.

It's daytime!

"This Nima, can you still go out?" Jiang Chen looked at those lunatics with a wry smile.

At this moment, these zombies have a little bit of the feeling in the movie "Resident Evil". Those sharp and bloody eyes seemed to be telling: as long as living creatures dare to appear in front of them, they will swarm up and shred them.

Or, more than that?

"The level of unidentified bacteria in the air has risen. Perhaps it is this unidentified bacteria that caused the zombies to become violent. The ultraviolet rays are isolated? It's not like the nearby vegetation has not been affected." Sun Jiao frowned and watched from the side. The sentinel grabbed the terminal and showed it in front of Jiang Chen.

【Unknown bacterial density index: 13】

"What is this?" Jiang Chen asked in confusion.

"The tablet terminal connected to the air detection tower was bought from the Zhao Group. A similar situation happened in the sixth block. Zhao Chenwu estimated that we would use this thing, so he sold it to us. These are unknown. The bacteria will be suspended in the surrounding air, and the pathogenic mechanism is similar to the original zombie bacteria, which can be eliminated by the immune system of people who have been injected with immune enhancers or genetic medicine. However, if the bacterial density exceeds the threshold, it can only be eliminated by Wearing protective clothing to deal with it, so I bought 150 protective clothing, just in case."

Following the direction of Sun Jiao's finger, Jiang Chen noticed that there was a tuning-fork-shaped detector about one meter high on the roof of a house outside the base. The light green fluorescent film between the two prongs slowly rotates with the base.

"Well done. But I have a question, wouldn't the zombies be weakened by ultraviolet radiation?" Jiang Chen frowned.

"That's right, this is where I am confused. Because zombies also need to replenish energy, the mutant bacteria on the back of their necks will respond to ultraviolet light, making most of the zombie's body functions go dormant and enter a state of photosynthesis." Sun Jiao repeated the common sense that everyone knows in this apocalypse.

"Could it be... this kind of bacteria can recharge zombies?" Jiang Chen thought for a while, then suddenly said.

Sun Jiao was stunned when she heard the words.

"Recharge? In what way?"

"Bacteria floating in the air complete photosynthesis instead of zombies in a special way, and then enter the zombies through special channels to be 'digested'. In this way, zombies whose energy is always in a 'full state' naturally does not need What about photosynthesis?"

Sun Jiao was stunned for a while, then pinched her chin and lowered her head, frowning slightly.

"It is possible, although there is no scientific basis, but there is some truth to what you say."

"Has the entire Wanghai City become like this?"

"Only a part of the area, according to the information in the sixth block, these bacteria seem to spread from a certain 'source'. Fortunately, these bacteria do not divide themselves, they should only be produced by a certain 'mother'. According to the bacteria The micro-element density distribution of the species, and the three-line positioning method on the map roughly determined that there is an area near us that belongs to the high-density area of ​​this species. The source may be there."

Sun Jiao took out the pen-shaped holographic computer from her waist, opened the three-dimensional image, and a triangular area was marked on the map.

"What's the nearest survivor base nearby? Did they respond?" Jiang Chen thought for a while, then asked solemnly.

She was stunned, and then a wry smile appeared on her face.

"We are the nearest survivor base. There are mostly community-level survivor groups, and we should be the largest... There is no action at the moment."

"It's very dangerous to let these things continue to grow. We have to consider taking the initiative to remove the source of these germs. But now, it doesn't look like it's possible to go outside." Jiang Chen looked at the zombies all over the street and couldn't help revealing wry smile.

"Yes, this germ seems to be consciously pulling zombies in the direction of human habitation. These zombies on the street have tried to storm our gate six times in 15 days, and now our transactions with other survivor groups have been interrupted. Fortunately, there are no zombies in the sewers, and the connection with the sixth block is still maintained." There was a trace of sadness on Sun Jiao's face, obviously she had nothing to do with these zombies.

"That guy Zhao Chenwu should have a headache too. The entrance to the sewer over there is still a few hundred meters away from the sixth block." Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little fortunate. Fortunately, he wisely ordered a corridor to be opened with cement. , and directly merged the sewer entrance outside into the base.

"By the way, let's not talk about this first, tell me how the base has developed recently." Jiang Chen was still more concerned about this issue.

"At the beginning of September, the trade surplus with the Zhao Group was 10102 sub-crystals. The trade volume reached 110,000 sub-crystals. It is said that the sales of those cans in the sixth block are very good. Zhao Chenwu intends to greatly increase the trade volume. The reason was rejected. Because the expansion of the base was stopped, the building materials were already full, and the Zhao Group could not pay for so many sub-crystals in stock, so they put forward a proposal to sell the population to us. The price was 50 sub-crystals per person. There are 100 people in total, making up for the remaining 5,000 Yajing. The population of the base has reached 130." Of course, Sun Jiao, Yao Yao and Jiang Chen were not included in this.

"The price has gone up?" Jiang Chen frowned.

"The cost of population has risen a lot, but the price of chips has not changed." Sun Jiao smiled bitterly, "Because the external environment has suddenly become dangerous, I heard that the sixth block is planning to eliminate two nearby bacterial sources. Therefore, the sixth block The demand for the population has picked up quite a bit.”

"How's the soldier training going?"

"Forty-one people have been evaluated as qualified in the virtual reality device. All of them have been injected with D-level genetic medicine and can become a quasi-combat force." Sun Jiao manipulated the tablet to retrieve the data and reported to Jiang Chenhui.

"The source of the bacteria must be removed." Jiang Chen looked into the distance with a gloomy gaze, "I have a hunch that there will be more and more of these things peeking in the air. At that time, I'm afraid that if I want to get close to its source, Difficult."

"Then I'll prepare. I'll make a battle plan today, and I'll lead the team tomorrow." Sun Jiao nodded.

"I'll go too." Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.

"No." Sun Jiao categorically refused.

"listen to me."

"Just your marksmanship?"

"...My combat effectiveness is pretty good now. Moreover, I can leave the battlefield through special abilities. The most important thing is that I am also worried about letting you lead the team alone." Jiang Chen was silent for a moment. Afterwards, she stared into Sun Jiao's eyes and said seriously.

There was a more important reason he didn't say. He planned to take this opportunity to negotiate with the survivor groups along the way. If Sun Jiao were to come forward, he always felt that the final negotiation would develop towards a fiery direction.

What's more, staying in a safe place all the time, the combat power can never be improved.

Hearing that sentence, Sun Jiao's cheeks were slightly red, but she quickly recovered.

Her eyes struggled for a moment, but she finally gave up and sighed.

"Okay. I promise you."

Jiang Chen smiled and cast a grateful glance at Sun Jiao's approval.

"Cough, in addition, the food in the base is about to run out, you can get a little more..." Sun Jiao coughed embarrassedly and changed the topic.

"Food? Little meaning." Jiang Chen grinned and disappeared instantly.

Sun Jiao was stunned for a while, looking at the place where Jiang Chen had disappeared, then she smiled bitterly.

That's right... If you have this handy ability, you can easily escape even in the face of a big danger.

Thinking of this, Sun Jiao couldn't help but feel relieved.

This feeling is the first time.

Well, maybe the one in the sewers was the first time. The feeling of valuing another person's life more than your own.
