The first wave of recruiting was successfully completed after two weeks. A total of 111 new recruits were recruited, including 23 people with supernatural powers and 88 people without supernatural powers. In addition, a total of 34 family members temporarily settled in with the new personnel. , According to the personal director, I have arranged jobs, such as helping in the kitchen, or registering in the warehouse, or in charge of managing the sanitation situation. Even the land next to the artificial lake that was originally reserved as arable land has been reclaimed and full of plants. Vegetables, melons and fruits are growing gratifyingly.
The sharp edge base suddenly became lively, people could be seen everywhere, the shouts of the training ground continued all day long, and the newly built dormitory building and cafeteria also gathered more and more fireworks.
The sweltering heat of October passed away quietly, and the time moved to mid-November in a blink of an eye.
It was as if the equator and the poles had suddenly shifted, and the weather suddenly turned cold.
On November 10th, the mission center released another group mission: go to the emergency storage warehouse for catastrophic disasters in province E and transfer supplies to Beijing.
Sharpen signed up to participate and was successfully selected.
The members sat around in the conference room on the second floor of the villa, discussing who would participate in this group task.
"Tang Song and Lin Ruan will definitely not be able to go," Shen Shi'an crossed his hands on the table: "You two continue to carry out research, and the vaccine is the top priority at present, and you don't have to worry about other things."
Lin and Ruan nodded.
"Tao Yuan doesn't need to go either, you need to stay and continue training the newcomers." The assessment period was only halfway through, and the suspension was not worth the candle.
He then turned his gaze to Xu Ge, who immediately said, "I'm with you!"
Shen Shi'an shook his head: "Tongtong needs your company, and Tang Song and the others are busy with their own affairs, and the family needs someone who can manage, coordinate and preside over the overall situation."
Xu Ge thought for a while and nodded.
"Then it's decided. Those who will go include me, Xun Xun, Chen Nan, Fang Zhou, and Lu Xiuyuan."
Xiong Manshan immediately raised his hand: "Captain, what about me!"
Chen Nan turned to look at him: "Brother Xiong, we are going to move supplies."
"So? I am strong enough to move my old nose!"
“… the most important of which are food supplies.”
Liu Fangzhou couldn't help adding: "Take you there together. In case your metaphysical physique flares up again, and you go to the warehouse to see if there is anything to eat, wouldn't our trip be in vain?"
Xiong Manshan retracted his hand cowardly, but quickly held it up again: "Then I don't need to kill the zombies on the way! Or turn the zombie's head off and give it to you to kill, as long as I don't kill the zombies, it doesn't matter , Wasn’t it the time we were in the research center, the zombies were all dealt with by Major Tang and Lin Ruan, and there was no shortage of food in the cafeteria.”
Shen Shi'an seemed to be moved.
Xiong Manshan continued to work hard: "I run fast and have great strength. Even if I don't kill zombies, it can play an important role, such as spreading news, or running ahead to find the way for you. I also encountered a mutation... "
"Shut up!!"
Several shouts sounded at the same time, and Tao Yuan covered his mouth tightly with his eyes, causing everyone at the table to break out in a cold sweat.
Liu Fangzhou's calf trembled a little: "...Brother, they are born from the same root, why are we so anxious to meet each other?"
Xiong Manshan raised his hands obediently, and after Tao Yuan let go of him, he said cautiously: "I promise I won't talk nonsense again, Boss, just take me with you..."
Shen Shi'an thought for a moment, and finally nodded.
Xiong Manshan is right, his ability can indeed play an important role, even if he can't kill zombies on the way there, the return trip can also play an important role.
After thinking about it, I was still a little uneasy, and asked Shen Xun in my heart: "You can always know what Man Shan thinks, right?"
"Ok."
"Once you find that he has a crow's mouth, immediately silence him."
"okay."
So the number of people participating in the task increased to six.
Xu Ge was a little worried: "I think the number of people is still too small. Province E is hundreds of kilometers away from the capital base."
Shen Shi'an tapped on the table with his fingers, and looked at Tao Yuan: "A few days ago, you told me that several of the newly joined supernatural beings have good abilities, right?"
Tao Yuan nodded, "One water element, one earth element, and two fire elements. These four have outstanding abilities." If they can pass the assessment period, they will definitely stay.
"Then bring these four with you, and use this task as part of the assessment." There are some things that cannot be seen from training alone, and only in actual combat can one be sure whether the opponent is a partner worth entrusting his back to.
"This is just right," Tao Yuan said, "I originally planned to take them to do small missions around the base from next week."
Shen Shi'an looked at Xu Ge, Lin Ruan and the others again: "The mission location this time is relatively far away, and there are many cities we passed through. It is estimated that we will take at least nearly a month to come back. The supplies I left for two months are in the warehouse. If it’s not enough, buy it from Brother Miao. I’ve also said hello to Mr. Gu. If you really encounter something that can’t be solved, go to Gu’s family for help. Are the points enough?”
Xu Ge nodded: "That's enough, Captain, you don't have to worry about this."
Tang Song said: "Be careful all the way, I'm afraid this journey will not be easy."
Be careful not only of zombies and mutated animals, but also of zombified mutated animals.
Viruses have different effects on humans and other animals, which Tang Song knew from the beginning. The original virus in the human body will screen humans, and those with immunity will be transformed into supernatural viruses, and those without immunity will be transformed into zombie viruses. The zombie virus takes human dna to complete evolution as its top priority, so it will only attack humans and completely ignore animals.
The effect of viruses on animals is much simpler. According to the currently known information, all animals seem to be immune to the original virus, and the original virus in the animal body will not change, and will always exist in its original structure. Most of the animals did not respond to the virus, and a small number of animals that responded either became larger or shrunk, but otherwise remained unchanged.
The original virus in the body will not become a zombie virus, and the transformed zombie virus has no interest in them, so theoretically, zombie animals do not exist.
But what if animals actively ingest zombie viruses
From Fan Xintong's experience, we can know that once the zombie virus is ingested, even animals will mutate into zombies. From this point of view, it is estimated that the man-eating ant colony they encountered outside the Yangcheng base had long since turned into a zombie ant colony. This means they not only have to watch out for zombies, but also the scavengers that feed on them.
It is winter now, and the outside food has been greatly reduced. Even those who do not eat scavenger may be forced to try it.
