"Now, for the sake of the base and survival, the only way is to release the restrictions and give more benefits and cooperation to the power users below." A man sitting in the middle said and concluded, he looked around for a week, although the people in the house were They were still dissatisfied, but in the face of the large-scale loss of their respective troops, they still had to agree with this point of view. But in his heart, he silently planned other things—for example, how to let the power users in his subordinate forces take this opportunity to gain greater benefits as soon as possible.
This meeting was held temporarily in the early morning of the day after the zombie rat attacked. After everyone identified the zombie rat problem, they began to redefine various matters in the base. After the meeting was over, a soldier suddenly rushed to the door: "Report!"
"Come in, what's the matter?"
The man walked in quickly, holding a box in his hand: "Report to the chief, this is what the soldiers who were out cleaning the zombie rat's body found in the head of the zombie rat."
A slap-sized box containing something like a crystal, but the size of a mung bean, looked particularly bright under the light.
"This is... from the mouse's head?"
"Yes!" Zombie crystal cores have appeared since the beginning of the apocalypse, but because that thing grows in the brains of zombies, it is generally difficult to be found. Those zombies who were directly burned and buried were originally white because the ashes were originally white, and it was difficult for people to find out after a layer of "ash" on the core. Except for some people who transported the ashes accidentally, there was no who noticed.
But these zombie rats, I don't know if it was because of the temperature of the flamethrower, most of the burned zombie rats turned black. These soldiers went to clean the battlefield in the middle of the night, and with a flashlight, they could find the exposed crystal nucleus. The flashing light reflected light, and it was discovered all at once.
"This...Isn't the laboratory also found in the zombie's head not long ago? Is this the thing?" Someone recognized the crystal nucleus, and the people in the laboratory found it in the newly transported zombie body a few days ago. The crystal nucleus, I haven't researched the function of this thing, is it an exception, and now it has been found in the head of the zombie mouse
"Call their person in charge to come over." Someone immediately ordered and asked the relevant personnel to come over to confirm.
It didn't take long for the laboratory staff to arrive, check the crystal core in the box and confirm: "It should be this thing, the same as the crystal core in the zombie's head!"
"Then why didn't you know there was such a thing before?"
"In the beginning, the laboratory researched some of the earliest zombies sent. After we developed a method to identify zombie viruses, in order to ensure that the zombie virus did not undergo secondary mutation, we sent some of the latest zombie corpses. Found this thing in a zombie head."
"Oh? What about the result?"
"This is the report we just concluded today... yesterday, and we haven't had time to report it yet." The man said and handed over a report, "The latest zombie corpses basically contain this kind of thing, but it seems that the zombie head is long overdue. No. We suspect that this thing takes a certain amount of time to appear in the zombies, and it is very likely - this is the root cause of the evolution of zombies!"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and there was a "buzz" sound in the conference room, and many people were whispering and not knowing what to say.
"Let them study this thing with all their strength, and they must understand their principles!" Although they don't know what the use of this thing is, everyone knows at this time that this thing is very likely to be concerned about the future of mankind!
After the meeting was over, the sky had already lit up, and everyone walked back to their villas. After there was no one else around, some people communicated in a low voice.
"Let them speed up the research on the crystal nucleus, and now this matter can't be hidden."
"Don't worry, our people discovered this thing on the third day of the apocalypse. If we haven't figured out how to use it, they won't be ahead of us."
"Don't take it lightly, now it's not that others are comparing the speed with us in private, but the above already knows... They have more equipment and talents than ours, so we must get ahead of them!"
…
"Did they discuss and come to a conclusion? Can this kind of crystal core make the ability advance?"
"I haven't found a way yet, but this thing contains energy, there is no doubt about it... It's just that, according to the old man's statement, let them try to eat this thing... Those test items have directly turned into zombies. already."
"It's really whimsical! I've read too many novels that are purely messy!"
"Cough, I can't say the same. If it wasn't for the young master who likes to read books, we wouldn't have guessed that there might be something in the zombie's brain so early... Don't worry, we will come to a conclusion soon... "
The conjecture that there might be something special in the zombie's brain was put forward in the early days of the apocalypse, but there are very few people who can really verify it. In the beginning, everyone was busy running for their lives, and even if they had an idea, they didn’t dare to try it themselves.
When people's force value rises and they can kill a zombie alone, not everyone has the courage to open the zombie's skull and open the brain to find the crystal nucleus. Therefore, there are very few people who have a way to verify the inference of whether there is a crystal nucleus in the zombie's head.
Now, in a defensive battle, the crystal nucleus was finally exposed in front of everyone, and after that, there was a long wait, waiting for someone to discover how to use the crystal nucleus, and waiting for someone to announce this method to the public.
But in any case, the fact that there are crystal cores in the heads of zombies quietly spread to the base after this meeting. In particular, several teams with some backgrounds, most of them got the news.
He Zizhong and Fang Hao didn't get the news that the base was attacked by zombie rats last night until the next morning - no way, who let them get into the space as soon as they got home last night? It is also normal not to hear the siren in the base.
The water, electricity and other things in the base have long been replaced by the internal supply of the base, and the water and electricity costs are several times higher than before the end of the world. The two had bought some symbolically before, but they mainly used the water and electricity produced in their own space.
Water is good to say, the water in the space well and waterfall is freely used by them. Electricity is provided by a backup power source filled with solar panels in the space. The outside world can hardly see the sun and it is foggy all day long, but the sun is just right in the space almost every day, and it is extremely simple to collect solar energy.
The solar panels were placed on the open space in the courtyard by He Zizhong, and the rest of the open space was organized by Fang Hao for drying some things, such as the dried fruits and vegetables that he had been drying the previous two days. of rice and corn.
"I don't know if the zombie mice entered the base last night?" Fang Hao turned on the radio and started to tune the station - it is difficult to receive wireless signals outside the base, but the problem inside the base is not big.
"It shouldn't be, otherwise it would be impossible to be so calm outside now." Although there were still people coming and going on the street outside the villa, there was no nervousness and it seemed that it was not a big problem. Combined with the memory of the previous life, this zombie rat attack should not cause much loss to the base.
The two listened to the radio while eating breakfast. The dumplings, who were forbidden to eat human food, squatted at the table with their backs at the two unscrupulous "parents", silently exuding a little resentment - they didn't give me any food!
After the two came out of the space early in the morning, they found from the video of the monitor that the alarm had sounded once last night, and only then did they know that there was danger last night.
"How about not sleeping in the space at night?" The air outside is not good and the environment is not comfortable in the space. To be honest, both of them prefer to live in the space. It's just that the unexpected situation is uncertain, which makes people feel uneasy living in the space.
He Zizhong thought for a while, then shook his head: "There's no need to worry too much, after all, what happened last night was an emergency. But you can go to sleep after taking a shower." What do you do when you take a shower? The two knew it well. He Zizhong's words didn't seem to be a problem, but they actually contained some careful thoughts, which made Fang Hao's face slightly red and couldn't help but glance at him.
The two were eating and there was the sound of bicycles outside. Looking out the window, they saw a delivery man put some things into his mailbox and rode to the next house.
"I'll go get it." Fang Hao got up quickly, and the dumpling on the side wanted to follow when he saw it, but was caught by a big hand: "What are you following for fun?" It will definitely be seen.
There was only one thick letter in the mailbox. Fang Hao saw that "Base Management Association" was printed on it. He guessed that it had something to do with the zombie rat last night, and quickly turned around and walked quickly into the room.
"Boss?" One person asked suspiciously to the person in front of him, following his gaze to the villa by the roadside, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Allen shook his head and looked at the villa again with interest. The child just now... really made his eyes shine. Especially in today's world, even I can't guarantee the perfect appearance every day as before the end of the world, but that child... That villa, could it be the young master of someone's family
"Look back and see who lives in this villa?" Such a beautiful boy would definitely be sought after even before the end of the world, not to mention now? I just don't know if there is any background behind him, if not, it's easy for me to start.
Today is not the same as it was before the end of the world, and the concept of "background" is not the same as it was before the end of the world. Perhaps the vast majority of people still think that the so-called background is "military, political, and money", but in fact, in the conceivable future, as long as the zombies in the outside world do not die, then only the ones who can dominate the base will be. Two kinds of people - first, the leader who holds the military power or most of the powers. Second, the ability user who is powerful in itself.
I am now regarded as a power user with powerful abilities, occupying the second point, and is developing towards the first point. Today, I have fewer scruples than before the end of the world, and what I can get will be better than before the end of the world. More!
