In an instant, the white clouds outside the window were replaced by cloudy radioactive fallout, the smooth walls climbed with cobweb-like cracks, and the wooden doors and windows "began to wither"

It's as if the style of painting has suddenly changed.

The soft touch behind it 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 the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.

Not a single bit of dust. Although I don't know if it's Yao Yao or Sun Jiao, it's obvious that someone here has come to take care of it every day.

Picking up the leaning PK2000 from the corner of the wall, Jiang Chen gestured in his hand for a long time. In the room, only this 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 squeaky sound in the corner of the door, and he quietly walked towards Sun Jiao's room, in order to give the person he hadn't seen for a long time a surprise kiss.

Exclaimed happily and hugged the reunion after a long absence, feeling the pounding heartbeat, Jiang Chen smiled evilly and hugged the coquettish Sun Jiao, and then went to the expanding outer circle with her.

Stepping on the bluestone road in front of the main building of the villa, he always felt an indescribable happiness in his heart.

Just like the feudal lord in the Middle Ages, the villa is his castle, and it is his people who are "working" diligently outside the castle, and Sun Jiao, who is standing next to him, is the mistress of the castle, and Yao Yao in the villa, Yao Yao's affairs will be discussed later.

Standing here, he could only smell the oppressive smell in the air, but now it was 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 the lack of relevant equipment, he would really want to get a set of slave chips to use in the present world.

It's just that when he pushed open the door of the villa, 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 were piled up in the open space, and the expansion of the base came to a complete standstill.

"The zombies out there have been a bit of a weird lately. Sun Jiao's eyes were a little solemn, and she took Jiang Chen to climb the cement tower by the wall.

Jiang Chen looked in the direction Sun Jiao was pointing, and a look of shock gradually appeared on his face.

"These zombies—"

"That's right, every day is like a pill. Sun Jiao picked up a stone and threw it outside.

The stone "duang!" slammed into the roof of a car, and the zombies nearby immediately screamed and pounced on the car as if they had been drugged. The doors were deformed under the squeeze of the corpses, and dirty hands chiseled through the windows and flipped the hood

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

It's daytime!

"Can this Nima still go out?" Jiang Chen looked at those madmen with a wry smile.

At this moment, these zombies have a little bit of the feeling of the movie "Resident Evil". The sharp, bloody eyes seemed to tell that if a living creature dared to appear in front of them, they would swarm it and tear it apart.

Or is it more than that?

"The number of unknown bacteria in the air has risen, and perhaps it is this unknown bacteria that has caused the zombies to go berserk. Blocked from ultraviolet rays? No, the nearby vegetation has not been affected. Sun Jiao frowned and snatched the terminal from the sentry on the side, and then showed it in front of Jiang Chen.

[Density index of unknown bacteria: 13]

"What is this?" Jiang Chen asked confusedly.

"The tablet terminal connected to the air detection tower was bought from the Zhao Group. A similar situation happened in the sixth block, and Zhao Chenwu estimated that we would use this thing, so he sold it to us. These unidentified bacteria are suspended in the surrounding air, and the pathogenic mechanism is similar to that of primitive zombie bacteria, which can be eliminated by the immune system of people who have been injected with immune boosters or genetic drugs. However, if the bacterial density exceeds the threshold, the only way to deal with it is to wear protective clothing, so I purchased 150 protective suits 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 private house outside the base. The pale green fluorescent film between the two prongs slowly rotated with the base.

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

"That's right, that's where I'm confused. Because zombies also need to replenish energy, the mutant bacteria on the back of their necks will respond to ultraviolet rays, causing most of the zombies' body functions to go into hibernation and enter a state of photosynthesis at the same time. Sun Jiao repeated this common sense that everyone in the last days knows.

"Could it be that this bacterium can charge zombies?" Jiang Chen thought for a moment before suddenly speaking.

Sun Jiao was stunned when she heard this.

"Recharged?

"The bacteria floating in the air complete photosynthesis in a special way instead of zombies, and then enter the zombies through special channels to be 'digested'. In this way, zombies whose energy is always in a 'full state' naturally do not need to carry out any light synthesis. ”

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

"Possibly, although there is no scientific basis for it, there is some truth to what you say. ”

"Has the entire Wanghai City become like this?"

"It's just a part of the area, and according to the Sixth Block, the bacteria seem to have spread outward from some 'source'. Fortunately, these bacteria do not divide themselves, and should only be produced by a certain 'mother'. According to the micro-element density distribution of the strains, the three-line positioning method was carried out on the map, and it was roughly determined that there was one area near us that belonged to the high-density area of the strains. Maybe the source is there. ”

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

"What's the nearest survivor base nearby? Jiang Chen thought for a moment and asked with a solemn gaze.

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 here, and we should be considered the largest at the moment, so there is no movement at the moment. ”

"It's dangerous to continue to let these things grow, and we have to think about taking the initiative to eliminate the source of these germs. But right now, it doesn't look like it's possible to get out. Jiang Chen looked at the zombies on the street and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"That's right, this germ seems to be consciously pulling zombies in the direction of human habitation. The zombies on the streets have tried to storm our doors six times in 15 days, and now our dealings with other survivor groups have been suspended. Thankfully, there are no zombies in the sewers, and the connection to the Sixth Block is maintained. A touch of sadness appeared on Sun Jiao's face, obviously she had no choice but to deal with these zombies.

"Thinking about it, Zhao Chenwu's guy should also have a headache, the entrance of the sewer over there is still a few hundred meters away from the sixth block," Jiang Chen couldn't help but be a little lucky, fortunately, he had wisely ordered a corridor to be carved out of cement, and the sewer entrance outside was directly incorporated into the base.

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

"At the beginning of September, the trade surplus with the Zhao Group was 10,102 subcrystals. The trade volume reached 110,000 Yajing, and it is said that those canned food are selling very well in the sixth block, and Zhao Chenwu intends to greatly increase the trade volume, but I refused on the grounds that you went back to buy the goods and could not call the shots. Because the expansion of the base has stopped, the building materials have been full, and the Zhao Group cannot take out so much subcrystalline spot payment for the time being, so it has put forward a proposal to sell the population to us. The transaction was sold at a price of 50 subcrystals per person, a total of 100 people, making up the remaining amount of 5,000 crystals. The population of the base has already reached 130. Of course, this does not include Sun Jiao, Yao Yao and Jiang Chen.

"Has the price 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 clean up the two sources of bacteria in its vicinity. So the demand for population in the sixth block has rebounded quite a bit. ”

"How is the training of soldiers progressing?"

"There have already been 41 people who have received a qualified evaluation in the virtual reality device, and all of them have been injected with D-class genetic drugs that can become quasi-combat forces. Sun Jiao manipulated the tablet to call up the data and reported to Jiang Chen.

"The source of bacteria must be removed. Jiang Chen looked into the distance with a somewhat gloomy gaze, "I have a hunch that there will be more and more of these things in the air." When the time comes, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to get close to its source. ”

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

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

"No, I can't. Sun Jiao flatly refused.

"Listen to me. ”

"Just your marksmanship?"

"I'm pretty good at fighting right now. Moreover, I can get out of the battlefield with special abilities. The most important thing is that I am also not at ease with letting you lead the team alone. Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, then stared into Sun Jiao's eyes and said seriously.

There was a more important reason he didn't say, he planned to take the opportunity to stop by and negotiate with survivor groups along the way. If Sun Jiao was allowed to come forward, he always felt that the final negotiations would develop in the direction of a rush.

What's more, if you stay in a safe place all the time, your combat effectiveness will never be improved.

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

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

"Okay. I promise you. ”

Jiang Chen smiled and cast a grateful look at Sun Jiao's recognition.

"Ahem, besides, the food in the base is about to bottom out, you can go get some more" Sun Jiao coughed embarrassedly and diverted the topic.

"Food? Jiang Chen grinned and disappeared in an instant.

Sun Jiao was stunned, looked at the place where Jiang Chen disappeared, and then showed a wry smile.

If you have this convenient ability, you can easily get out of it even in the face of great danger.

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

This is the first time I have felt this way.

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