Chapter Ninety-Three: Demonstrations
When Zhang Bo reported, he was naturally asked who the owner of the white crystal nucleus was, and he only said that the other party did not want to disclose his identity and name, and the crystal nucleus had been consumed by that person, and he had seen it once before that, but he didn't expect that after the person showed it to him, he swallowed and absorbed it that night.
Minister Wang and Head Sun both showed great regret and regret, especially Minister Wang.
Because there is no physical object, just a few words, no research can be done on it at all, and a real white crystal nucleus must be obtained, so that it can be sent to the Shaoyang base for those scientists to study in order to know what is the difference between this white crystal nucleus and those transparent crystal nuclei.
However, this major discovery still needs to be notified to the other two major Vault bases, perhaps they have already obtained this rare white crystal nucleus, and it is possible that they are studying it.
After the heads of the three bases got in touch through the special line and had a conversation, the result was that this time it was the white crystal nucleus that was first discovered in the Gaotu base.
In this way, if you want to further study the crystal nucleus, and then use the crystal nucleus to study how to deal with the enemy's huge zombies, you must first find at least one white crystal nucleus.
So after discussion, the three base leaders decided to gather all the first-order abilities and mutants in the base under their jurisdiction, plus the primary abilities and mutants with strong attack and defense power, that is, those who have not yet entered the first order, to form a special team and go deep into the surrounding major cities to find the zombies that produce white crystal nuclei.
This task is extremely dangerous, and going deep into the city first means that it is very likely to be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of zombies, and no matter how powerful you are, it is impossible to kill such a huge group of zombies.
And in order to be able to get the crystal nucleus, you can't use the army's weapons of mass destruction, so that when you destroy the zombies, the crystal nuclei in their heads will also be eliminated.
Therefore, it can only rely on the strength of each member of the team to investigate one by one. Of course, this investigation one by one, it can't be said that when you see a zombie, you have to shoot it in the head to see if there is a crystal nucleus in the head. After all, there are still a few zombies that can produce crystal nuclei, although they have been attacked by high-level zombies more and more frequently during the food search mission, but compared to the number of ordinary zombies. It's still a drop in the bucket.
The high-level zombies I encountered before are obviously different from ordinary zombies, they move faster than ordinary zombies and can run, but they don't reach the speed of ordinary people. The movements are also much smoother. Not as stiff and clumsy as normal zombies.
However, for the description of the zombies that produce white crystal nuclei only have a larger body size than ordinary zombies, and it is not known whether all high-level zombies that produce white crystal nuclei are larger.
However, it can be inferred that they should also move like high-level zombies, more easily than ordinary zombies.
Therefore, the goal of the team is to search for all possible high-level zombies and tall and prominent zombies one by one.
In addition to the danger of this task, another difficulty is how to assemble a team that can complete the task.
In addition to the supernatural abilities and mutants in the army who can absolutely obey the arrangements of their superiors, many of the supernatural and mutants outside are more capable than those in the army, but they want to recruit them to participate in this special squad and go deep into the city. I'm afraid there will be enough rewards to attract them.
Power and money are the most advantageous temptations in any era.
However, the Adepts and Mutants who did not join the Al Qaeda when they offered lucrative recruits were probably of little interest. Especially in the last days, when money is still in circulation and prices are soaring, a lot of money is needed to buy the things you need. But it is precisely because the prices are so high that the attractiveness of money is weakened, because no matter how much money you have, you can only buy very few items. And the most important reason is that you may not be able to buy what you want to buy even if you have money, because there is no market for it. That's all the vendors can come up with. So much.
As for power, the government cannot arbitrarily delegate power for the sake of recruiting troops, in case unscrupulous villains gain power, the base will be severely damaged to establish and maintain order.
After the two things that the government had best to take that were the most attractive to ordinary people were denied, the upper echelons of the government began to rack their brains to come up with various countermeasures.
After a vote at a meeting, it was finally decided to start with life, a place from which no one could escape.
Previously, the government of the base issued a grain search task on the grounds of the consumption of base construction and food shortage, and made it mandatory for all the people in the base to participate. Right now. Use the housing provided by the base as a bargaining chip to pay rent to all those who live in the base.
Although this policy is bound to cause dissatisfaction among everyone, there is also a good reason why the government is still unable to support everyone. Those who can work harder. There is a lot to be done.
Before, everyone suddenly came to the base, of course, the government had to take care of it, but it has been more than three months since they settled, and they can no longer think about waiting for government relief.
Although everyone had to do the task of searching for grain before, the collected grain would also be distributed month by month. It's kind of earning food for yourself.
Now that we are about to start paying rent, the rent cannot be measured in money, and it is difficult for people to buy the necessities of life, let alone pay the rent.
Then the rent will be calculated in crystal nuclei, so that the government can not only collect crystal nuclei to improve the strength of the army, but also pay more attention to the task of participating in special squads and going deep into the city to strangle high-level zombies. After all, there are so many zombies, but only high-level zombies can produce crystal nuclei.
As for ordinary people, it is difficult for them to get crystal verification, but there is no way.
The government has worked very hard to help everyone, and you can't just because you are an ordinary person and don't have superpowers, so for the supernatural and mutant, their abilities will become a burden, and it is better to be an ordinary person and rely on the government for everything.
Fortunately, there will be mutant beasts at the foot of the mountain around the base from time to time, and almost all of the heads of those mutant beasts contain crystal nuclei, and some mutated insects contain crystal nuclei because of their size or other unknown reasons, and the crystal nuclei contained in the head are not normal size and angular, but a small transparent bead, which is named crystal bead by the base.
Although these insects are also aggressive, and if bitten by them, they can become infected and become zombies, but it is much easier to deal with a mutant insect than against a high-level zombie.
Be agile, two ordinary people can deal with a mutant insect.
Those beads have been studied and have the same effect as crystal nuclei, but they contain much less energy than crystal nuclei.
Twenty beads are equivalent to one crystal nucleus.
In an era full of dangers, we must learn to survive in the midst of dangers, and the fact that the government provides a temporary safe place does not mean that the danger is isolated.
The survival of the fittest is an eternal truth.
When the first breeze of autumn was still carrying the summer heat, blowing through every corner of the base. It is the government of the base that has promulgated the policy of paying crystal nuclei as rent for housing.
Districts 1 and 2 are certainly not as good as paying rent, they are part of the government in their own right.
Although the third and fourth districts also have complaints, they are actually okay, after all, most of them are supernatural and mutants, and they have the ability to collect crystal nuclei to pay the rent.
But in the fifth district, the pot exploded as soon as the notice was posted.
Residents walked out of the community one after another, and no one took the lead, and spontaneously walked to the door of the government office compound of the first district, asking the government for an explanation, whether they were despising them and not taking the lives of ordinary people seriously.
It is unacceptable that within a few days of stable life after escaping from the zombie den, he will be driven out to fight the mutant beasts.
The doors of the government were closed, and no one came out to answer them. They sat on the ground in front of the government, and there was a great tendency that they would not leave without giving an explanation.
When Zhen Yu came to find Ye Ziyu, it was already the second day of the demonstration of residents in District 5.
Ye Ziyu and the others also learned from her that the new policy of the base had caused such a big reaction. But it's reasonable to think about it, let ordinary people face those strange mutant insects, and the danger of being taken away by mutant beasts that emerge at any time, they are not afraid or opposed.
"My brother hasn't been back for two days!" Zhen Yu felt a red little mouth, and complained with a crying face.
"Li Xing didn't come back for two days, I thought it was because the government introduced a new policy, and they didn't have time to come back because they were too busy, so they couldn't get out because they were blocked in a district."
"Sister Meiren'er, can you accompany me to see what's going on in District 1? I've heard from others, but I haven't seen what a demonstration is like. ”
Although Zhen Yu was still pouting, and there was still a look of dissatisfaction on her face that her brother couldn't come back, Ye Ziyu had already heard it from her tone, she was actually not worried about what would happen to Zhen Jingwen, but wanted to have more fun.
Ye Ziyu nodded Zhen Yu's forehead amusedly, and said with a smile: "Let's go, I guess I won't accompany you, you will have to run away by yourself." There are a lot of people there, and it's not good if you cause something wrong. ”
"How can I cause trouble, I'm just curious, just take a look and come back!" Zhen Yu said dissatisfiedly, his face no longer had the previous worry and dissatisfaction, and was completely replaced by excitement and curiosity.
Escaping the scorching sun at noon, Ye Ziyu and Zhen Yu came to the vicinity of District 1 with a sun umbrella. If it weren't for Zhen Yu not being able to sit still, she just wanted to wait until the sun was about to set in the evening before going, and it was estimated that those people would not leave anyway.
"Wow! It turns out that there are so many people in the fifth district! The community doesn't look big, and there aren't too many buildings! ”
They stopped in the middle of the two separate neighborhoods in the second arrondissement and stopped moving forward, enough to see the crowd ahead. Zhen Yu suddenly saw so many people excitedly pulling Ye Ziyu's sleeve and said loudly. The time she saw the most people was when the base was distributing food in front of the warehouse, but they received the food in the morning and went back after receiving it, and they didn't see the grand occasion of ordinary people in the fifth district receiving food in the afternoon.
If ordinary people are killed or injured while collecting crystal beads, the government can only give the family of the deceased an extra bag of rice to show comfort. (To be continued.) )
