Chapter 692: Meet Next
"Let's make another fire, I don't want to talk in a dark place." Renee said.
Wu Qi silently added some firewood to the fire, and the fire that was about to be extinguished suddenly had the motivation to continue burning.
Just as Renee was thinking about saying something better, Wu Qi suddenly said, "Why did you come to me so late?" What is the purpose? ”
"Say hello to your new neighbors and see how you ate and stayed on your first night." Renee said.
"That's as you can see." Wu Qi spread his hands and said.
Where he lived, Wu Qi asked for the life of the giant beast that lived in this cave, put the bones of the original owner at the entrance of the cave as a danger marker, and even skinned it to make a warm blanket. Those who eat are rich in prey, wood and fire, and drink the water from the spring of the mountain from the leaves.
Survival in the wild is like finding things for Wu Qi, he can solve the problem of food and shelter in half a day, and he can solve the problem of clothes and tools tomorrow. Today, the environment within a radius of 2 kilometers has been explored by Wu Qi, and with a little review, he can almost perfectly memorize the terrain and plant growth areas.
The conversation was cut off by Wu Qi again, Renee thought about what to continue to say, and subconsciously popped out a sentence, "You have always maintained atavistic scales, I thought you had clothes ......"
The air suddenly became remarkably quiet, except for the crackling of the fire.
Wu Qi was speechless. It is impossible for him to directly lift the atavism at this time. The scale armor still has to be maintained, and it is indispensable to retreat 10,000 steps to prevent people, and it can indeed be used as "clothes".
"If you lifted the atavism, wouldn't you stop being so ruthless?" Renee knew that Wu Qi would definitely not borrow words, so she could only continue by herself.
"I'm not going to lift it." Wu Qi replied directly.
"Wouldn't it be tiring to keep it up for that long?"
"Adapting to long-term atavism can improve the survival rate of a single person in the wasteland." Wu Qi used this sentence instead of a positive answer.
Renee nodded understandingly. Wu Qi's atavistic power is indeed above her, and Wu Qi is also more skilled in controlling atavism.
Wu Qi didn't ask Renee again about the purpose of her coming to her. The answer is in the self-evident and melts into the atmosphere of the moment.
"Wu Qi, do you have any plans next?" Renee's blue eyes reflected the blazing flames on the fire, she said.
"I don't have any plans, just survive."
"Yes......" Renee said softly.
He didn't say anything about Wu Qi's teammates, and Renee didn't ask carefully. In the current atmosphere, if Renee is asked to guess, the answer Renee guesses is that Wu Qi's teammates should not be there.
Renee's knowledge of Wu Qi was limited to brief meetings and electronic materials, and she did not think that she knew Wu Qi as a person. If you just pay attention to the consequentialism, you can see a lot of things about Wu Qi from his record and experience.
She once thought that in order to achieve the goal of survival, Wu Qi would become strong enough to defeat all the enemies who came to attack, and he lived a very dazzling life. But now that Wu Qi's teammates to protect have all died, in the case that he doesn't need to protect anything, just "survival" seems to be muddy.
"My plan is simple. In the near future, my team will leave the mountains to continue their mission of tracking down the Gray Queen and investigating the corpse virus. ”
Wu Qi said: "Your team suffered a lot of trauma during the investigation, so you have to choose this mountain range to recuperate." ”
Renee glanced at Wu Qi and said unhappily, "Yes, you were right to the point." ”
"The enemy who has hit your team hard is the third-order overlord named 'Gray Queen' and the plague legion under her command." Wu Qi continued.
"Hmm." Renee replied.
"Then I'll be able to draw conclusions here. Your investigation mission will not succeed, and the next time you encounter the Grey Queen's legion will most likely be the end of your army. I suggest you go back the way you came before that. Wu Qi said plainly.
Renee was angry after hearing this: "How can you arbitrarily draw conclusions. The Grey Queen is strong, but she has already been killed by us on the battlefield, and I am the one who completed the decapitation operation. If it weren't for her resurrection from the dead and her ability to regenerate in spite of her, she would have been killed by us. ”
"But the truth is that the Grey Queen is not only immortal, but also infinitely regenerates injuries in her body. You can't even weaken her. If the Grey Queen only has an 'oversized' size, there are still many ways to defeat her. She has other abilities that make it very tricky for you. ”
Wu Qi's words were very powerful. He only had bits and pieces of information, but the information he put out was all right, which made Renee unable to refute it.
Sharing the information of the investigation target with Wu Qi is not a leak, and it may be possible to get some information from Wu Qi that can be referenced. Based on this consideration, Renee told Wu Qi the information about the Gray Queen.
"Yes. The Gray Queen also has a sonic ability called 'Insect Flap Wings', which can resonate with item resonance organs, which is extremely threatening. And the Grey Queen has a huge nest of eggs growing on her tail, which can spray eggs to assimilate the plague species of the wasteland and turn them into her people. We call her people 'Predators', and they are brutal monsters that are equivalent to the pinnacle of second-order life from birth, extremely good at fighting, and able to evolve in battle. ”
"Originally, even if the Gray Queen was strong, she could still be killed, but when she had the ability to die, her strength directly changed qualitatively."
When Renee talks about the Gray Queen, she unconsciously thinks of the sacrifices caused by the battle that their investigation team has caught up with the Gray Queen, and the deputy captain Nerro, who is seriously injured and has no cure to protect the soldiers from retreating. She felt very uncomfortable.
Wu Qi's mind was racing and he found that this was an opportunity.
Wu Qi said: "The 'corpse virus' is a kind of abnormal virus that invades the body of an organism and spreads explosively throughout the body when the creature dies, so that the dead creature can be resurrected. The Grey Queen, who is dominated by the 'corpse virus', is not immortal, it is precisely because she is dead that she cannot 'kill' her with conventional methods. ”
Renee raised her head and looked at Wu Qi in surprise, only to hear Wu Qi continue: "Corpse beasts will inherit the wisdom and abilities of their predecessors, as well as their strengthened flesh, and the only weakness is that because they are corpses that can move, their metabolism is fixed, so their limbs cannot be recovered from injuries. And the Gray Queen's 'super-speed regeneration' perfectly fills this weakness. This is what makes you invincible in your eyes. ”
"Wait," Renee said, holding up her right palm in surprise, "how did you know such details?" ”
The information on the corpse virus mentioned by Wu Qi is not much different from the conclusion reached by the field research institute of the Northern Legion.
"With the 'revelation of the gods of the wilderness'. As long as you touch it, you can detect the gene chain information of the target organism, and you can know the change stage of life information clearly. I've encountered quite a few corpse beasts along the way. Wu Qi replaced the results of the Dawn Base Laboratory with the "Revelation of the Wilderness Gods" as a reason to tell Renee. And it's actually operational.
Renee showed an even more surprised expression, and Wu Qi was slightly stunned. He said incredulously, "Renee, your atavism hasn't evolved to this extent?" No way. ”
Renee's combat power is on par with herself, and it is true that there is a gap in the power of atavism, but it is not so good that she has not even reached the ability to probe the biological gene chain. The revelation of the Wilderness God was directly told to me through the "road", which means that Renee has not yet discovered that the Revelation of the Wilderness God has subsequent advanced abilities.
Renee was even more confused. Wu Qi had no choice but to say, "You can find a random tree to try later." ”
Renee realized her gaffe and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, you can continue." ”
If it is normal to say the follow-up, Wu Qi will have to say the biggest weakness of the corpse beast in the next step - "anti-abnormal chemical weapons using abnormal virus antibodies as raw materials". But Wu Qi couldn't have given the answer directly to Renee anyway.
This is an introduction, and with this opportunity to cut in, he may be able to use the positioning technology that Renee's team's military vehicles may have to search for the location of the Midnight base. At most, he explained the reason why the Grey Queen was so hard to defeat, and left the question to Renee to think about for herself.
Moreover, the weakness of the super-large corpse beast was originally discovered by the researchers in the human base laboratory, and the restraint weapon was also developed by them; The samples of the corpse virus are transmitted to Xinjing and to the Academia Sinica, and similar or identical restraint weapons will definitely be developed eventually. Even if Renee can come up with a way to crack it, her investigation team will never be able to master this chemical weapon without returning to the border, and she will definitely not be able to win against the Gray Queen alone.
Wu Qi changed his words: "Now that you know the true face of the 'corpse virus', there is no need to investigate the Gray Queen anymore." Even if you cut off the Grey Queen's limbs, and you use the 'Revelation of the Wilderness Gods' to find out, it will take time and effort to end up with the same answer I gave you. Withdraw. ”
Renee's expression froze. She decisively refused: "It's impossible. This level of intelligence field research has also come to the conclusion. Our mission is to track down the Grey Queen and thoroughly investigate everything about the Necroviral, and if we don't find out what the lab can't find, the mission will be a failure. ”
Wu Qi did not continue to fill the firewood, the fire burned weaker and weaker, and the light of the fire became smaller and smaller.
Wu Qi said lightly: "Then what else do you want to investigate?" ”
Renee blurted out: "The source of the transmission of the corpse virus!" Just now you said that you encountered a lot of corpse beasts along the way in the wasteland, and the direction you came from is diametrically opposite to the direction where the Gray Queen is, so the Gray Queen is most likely not the real source of the corpse virus. With the passage of time, there must be other third-order overlords in the occupied area who have been infected with the corpse virus, and this state of affairs must not be allowed to develop. Our team must find ......"
"The body of the corpse virus." The two said in unison.
