Chapter 182: Virus strikes back

Views:

Neither the pretender nor the woman who attacked Wang Daniu disappeared after that night.

This was expected by Hou Ying. The other party's actions were planned, and he was obviously a repeat offender, so it was not so easy to catch him. And the other party chose Wang Daniu of the King's team to attack. This was the only clue they left that could continue to be traced.

The King's team has a very shallow foundation in the Yellow River base, and apart from the Changbai team, it has no conflict of interest with other teams or individuals.

If the opponent really came after the King's team, then the suspicion could not be separated from the Changbai team.

But the other party didn't know the details of the King's team, and immediately absconded after finding out something was wrong, and did not take advantage of the King's team's trust in Wang Daniu to severely injure Qin Youchun and others. It can be seen that there is a personal enmity with the king team, so the possibility of revenge is not high.

In this way, the people they really wanted to target could only be Li Hou's team, which was very close to the King's team, or the Xuanyuan family behind Li Hou's team.

Li Hou's team doesn't have many enemies, but Xuanyuan's family is different.

The most motivated and able to do it, except for the Chang family and the Shen family in the Yangtze River base, the suspicion of others is not enough. The Chang family and the Shen family also have two big families with profound backgrounds in the Yellow River base. Even if they are kicked out of the Yellow River base by the Xuanyuan family and the Duan family, it is easy to plant a few mines and eyeliner here, but it is very difficult to investigate.

While the Yellow River base raised its vigilance for this, the clearing of the zombies in the safe area was progressing very smoothly, so Li Han sent teams below the B level back to the base to assist in the city construction, and the establishment army also allocated one-third of its personnel to return to take over the base and Policing and defense of places reintegrated into secure areas.

During this period, Xuanyuan Yu approached Xuanyuan Hui twice.

The first time was to request to leave the city, but the team returned to the city the next day, and Xuanyuan Yu's C-level team naturally didn't need to leave the city.

The second time, he came to discuss an errand with Xuanyuan Hui.

He was not satisfied with participating in the urban construction work, and the speed of accumulating team contribution points was too slow. Xuanyuanhui persuaded him to go back patiently, and the urban construction department has a special person to manage and dispatch the team members in a unified manner. He, the captain who has lost his supernatural glands and cannot directly participate in the labor, is useless, so he simply pestered Xuanyuanhui and said that he would learn from his aunt experience. Xuanyuanhui is so busy every day that he has no time to take care of him, and Xuanyuanyu is not willing to learn from others, so he stays at Xuanyuan's house with the cheek to say that he wants to learn from Hou Ying.

Hou Ying didn't bother to pay attention to him. The private training of crystal nucleus energy release had made some progress, but it could only be suspended.

Because the energy released by Hou Ying was wasted without receiving someone, so he spent every day experimenting on Li Xuanyuan with great enjoyment. In this way, without using the ability, his own energy consumption is very low, and the energy output to supplement the team is also limited, and there is no need to rush to absorb the energy stored in his body. Originally, the base defense work he was in charge of was also taken over by the establishment army. Now he has nothing to do all day except to enlighten Li Hou. It happened that Xuanyuan Yu came to him to relieve his boredom, and Hou Ying was willing to accompany him.

The time progress bar moved forward in an orderly manner, and after another half a month, the originally delineated safe area once again returned to tranquility.

Everyone in the Yellow River base heaved a sigh of relief, and a large force went into urban construction.

But the joy has not faded away. There is a big problem that pushes the Yellow River base into more panic and haze.

It was night, Li Hou had a high fever without warning.

Gongsun Jing's treatment for him was ineffective, and even Hou Ying's use of level nine healing powers failed to improve his condition. It was like suffering from cancer. Li Hou had a problem with his own immune system. Just after the pain was dispelled, it soon came back. Gongsun Jing was startled and anxious, and after half the night she suddenly said, "Brother Hou, do you think Li Hou's condition is similar to the symptoms of A Zhan's awakening ability, right?"

Hou Ying was very anxious, but she still frowned tightly when she heard the words, "How can there be a second awakening, there is no triggering condition, isn't it?"

But the problem was quickly explained.

After Li Hou, the elderly, children, infants and pregnant women in the Yellow River base, and those with first-level supernatural powers, successively developed high fever symptoms within two days. On the third night, something even more terrifying happened.

The patient with high fever was urgently arranged at the medical ambulance station. At night, the medical staff who had been busy all day were tired. The eyelids of the second-level superhuman standing in front of the monitor were fighting. He didn't dare to fall asleep. When he turned around to fetch hot water to refresh himself, he was startled by a shrill cry and poured hot water onto the back of his hand. .

He clutched his hands in pain, and got up as if he was going to the ward where the sound came from, remembering that he had released the monitoring of the nearby ward to see what was wrong.

Then, he saw a scene he will never forget.

The one who screamed was a pregnant woman who was seven months pregnant and far from the expected date of delivery. But at this time, her belly was ripped open, and a small hand mixed with blood stretched out from her belly as if groping for something. The second-level power user stared wide-eyed, watching the painful pregnant woman struggling with her hands and feet screaming, and finally pulled out a small, wet, blood-stained baby from her stomach in pain.

The baby's eyes couldn't be opened yet, but his actions were much more vigorous than ordinary babies, and his teeth were even sharper. He pinched his mother's hand as if smelling delicious food in the world, and bit down——

The medical staff rushed in, only to see the weak and moaning mother, and the baby with its head back in its stomach, happily eating blood and flesh.

"... Zombies!"

I don't know who gave a low cry of fear.

This is a baby zombie!

After the baby zombie, patients with high fever woke up from their sleep one after another. Except for less than one percent of ordinary people who awakened their abilities due to a blessing in disguise, the others became zombies. And the symptoms of this high fever are still spreading, and even a young and middle-aged second-level power user was also infected. As a last resort, the Yellow River base took emergency isolation and protective measures, and all supernatural beings below the third level and ordinary people who had not been infected were all sent to the observation room.

The scene that seemed to be the arrival of the pattern reappeared, and the Yellow River Base was plunged into dire straits instantly.

Hou Ying was also devastated by Li Hou's high fever symptoms. After the high fever patient became a zombie, Hou Ying took the risk of transmitting supernatural energy to Li Hou. Fortunately, Li Hou could still accept it.

It wasn't until Li Hou became a sixth-level low-level lightning power user that his high fever symptoms abated, and he finally regained consciousness after a few hours.

But he was still very sick, light-headed and in pain, far more than a child can bear.

He cried and lost his temper, and accidentally blew up Xuanyuan's house into ruins.

Hou Ying hurriedly borrowed Gongsun Jing's ability to heal him, which made him better.

Seeing this, Xuanyuanhui ordered the opening of the crystal core pool so that the ability users below the second level could break through the third level so that they could improve their resistance. Thirty to forty million first-level crystal nuclei have been hunted back in the safe area, so there is no need to worry about no crystal nuclei available.

When the zombie baby appeared, the Yellow River Base realized that something was wrong, and immediately notified the Pearl River Base and the Chuanyuan Base. Even the Yangtze River Base did not hide this matter related to human survivors due to personal hatred. But it is strange that until now, except for a few ordinary people who have a cold and fever due to the weather, there has not been a single such case in the other three major bases.

This made the managers of the Yellow River base feel uneasy, and the cause of the disease predicted by the experts made them even more horrified.

Researcher: "The two homeowners, from the analysis of various factors, the lesion this time is very likely to be due to the disappearance of the container of the zombie virus. Generally speaking, the zombies in the previous safe area, whether alive or dead, They should all be able to consume the zombie virus, but now tens of millions of zombies have been completely burned, and the zombie virus on their bodies has leaked or no one has consumed the zombie virus that was originally in the environment, thus causing the second end of the world in this range produce."

The researchers used carbon dioxide as an example. The disappearance of green area and forest area in the process of urbanization has caused a sharp decline in the carriers that absorb and consume these carbon dioxide, and the direct victims are humans.

In the same way, if the zombie virus still exists quantitatively in the environment, the variable produced is only the carrier of the zombie virus—the sharp reduction of zombies.

And the other three bases just proved this argument. Although the zombies have increased to a certain extent, they are not as good as the other three bases with a deep foundation in the Yellow River base. They have not cleared such a large range of safe areas. Even if the Pearl River base has one, It is also because of the immeasurable number of zombie creatures sharing this part of the pressure.

The Xuanyuan couple and Patriarch Duan looked at each other.

Hou Ying said: "Anyway, this is also a breakthrough. Parents, Uncle Duan, I suggest using crystal nuclei as bait to lure zombies over. It would be best if this disaster can be resolved smoothly. If not... I can also guarantee the safety of the Yellow River base." Safety."

Right now, there is only one way.

The crystal nuclei scattered all over the ground really caused a commotion and influx of zombies. A speed user who was responsible for spreading the zombie crystal nuclei cursed: "Bitch, that's a second-level crystal nucleus! Who told you to sprinkle it?" Find a first-class one! A first-class one, bastard!"

He went to pick up the second-level orange crystal distressedly, thinking about it, and wanted to keep it for himself, but before he got up, the speed zombies had thrown him to the ground. He set off to escape, only to find that his speed power had failed.

"Ah! Help!"

He frightened the people around him for help, but at the end of his consciousness, he only saw a second-level crystal nucleus thrown by his ear, and the person who lost the second-level zombie turned around and left happily.

That, is a woman whose face cannot be seen clearly.
