Chapter 65: A Global Crisis
Drinking tea was a common way for Zhang Yan to communicate with strange elders in the past.
She doesn't have a sweet mouth, she doesn't like to laugh, she doesn't talk to her elders about it, and whenever an elderly guest comes to the house, she always makes her parents feel embarrassed.
Later, her parents found a master and taught her the tea ceremony.
There are often some elderly guests who like to drink tea at home, and Zhang Yan found that as long as she simply showed off her tea-making skills, those older guests would praise her a few words.
Moreover, she can also gag their mouths when drinking tea, and she can also talk to them about tea if she can't stop her mouth, which can naturally relieve the awkward atmosphere.
She didn't like it at all, though.
In the hall, the illuminated orbs made by the Light Adepts hung in the hall, illuminating every crevice in the hall.
Zhang Yan boiled a pot of hot water with an alcohol lamp, sat on the sofa, and had an extra can of beautifully packaged tea in her hand:
"The best tea in my hand is Ming Qian Longjing, don't dislike it?"
The middle-aged man smiled, still looking peaceful:
"It's good to have tea to drink, but before the rain before tomorrow, in fact, I can't drink any difference."
Zhang Yan nodded, took out another set of tea sets, lined them up on the table, cooked hot cups, washed tea, and brewed tea......
In this process, her "spatial ability" did not shy away from the other party, because Zhang Yan felt that the middle-aged man in front of her must know herself very well.
You can see it in his eyes.
Sure enough.
After the middle-aged man took Zhang Yanjing's tea with a smile, he took a sip lightly, nodded and said:
"Zhang Yan, I only know your identity and abilities, as well as your performance in the safe zone, I don't know you as well as Yan Zhuo."
Zhang Yan calmly raised her glass to her chin, and took a sip of tea with a dignified demeanor:
"That's why he doesn't want to be a leader, because he's too dazzling."
The middle-aged man nodded:
"Zhang Yan, I know that your family is not short of money, and there should be enough access in Jinghua City, I can't help you with my connections, and I probably can't tempt you. Food, you probably have a lot of food in your space, you won't need it. Tell me, what do you want me to exchange for the lab report? ”
Zhang Yan replied decisively:
"Of course, it's a crystal nucleus, and normal people will want a crystal nucleus."
The middle-aged man smiled:
"Sure enough, it's still a crystal nucleus...... I was expecting you to offer a slightly more unusual condition. ”
Zhang Yan stared at each other expressionlessly:
"I'm just a layman. In my opinion, the crystal nucleus is better than anything else. 5,000 crystal nuclei, I'll exchange the experiment report with you. ”
The middle-aged man nodded:
"Five thousand...... That's exactly the highest number I can accept, yes. ”
After speaking, the middle-aged man also conjured five bags out of thin air and piled them on the table.
The middle-aged man opened the bag and showed Zhang Yan that the bag was full of colorful crystal nuclei, and in terms of quantity, there were indeed as many as five thousand.
Zhang Yan called Yan Zhuo and handed the copy to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man simply flipped through it, nodded with satisfaction, and whispered to the door:
"Maverick, come over and see if there is anything wrong with this document."
A young man in a military uniform walked in, he looked at Yan Zhuo coldly, and didn't say a word.
Under his gaze, the smile on the corner of Yan Zhuo's mouth quickly stiffened.
Only in the eyes of the spiritual supernatural can we see what happened between these two people.
This soldier is also a psychic force field powerhouse!
The soldier's mental power is obviously much stronger than Yan Zhuo!
At this time, his spiritual power turned into a huge net, covering Yan Zhuo's spiritual power into a form!
Yan Zhuo's second-level spiritual force field was like a young child, vulnerable, and suppressed in all aspects without any suspense.
Yan Zhuo knew that the opponent's spiritual force field was a third-level spiritual force field, and he couldn't fight back at all.
Fortunately, the other party didn't mean to harm him at all, but just controlled Yan Zhuo's spirit and searched for some memory materials he needed.
Three seconds later, the young soldier let go of Yan Zhuo and nodded towards the middle-aged man just now:
"Report the chief, there are no problems with the document. But...... This Psychic Force Field Capable is not primary, but second-level. ”
The middle-aged man took the document and glanced at Yan Zhuo with interest:
"Oh? It is not easy to reach the second-level spiritual force field in such a difficult environment outside. Are you interested in following me? ”
Yan Zhuo smiled and declined:
"You already have such a powerful spiritual force field ability around you. The icing on the cake is better than sending charcoal in the snow. ”
The middle-aged man smiled and got up to leave.
When he stepped into the car, the middle-aged man stopped and glanced at Zhang Yan:
"Oh, yes. Your friend named Bai Lan seems to have been plotting to bring down his uncle lately...... Since our deal is so enjoyable, I'll help her. ”
With that, the doors closed, and the two cars sped away.
Zhang Yan glanced back at the five bags of crystal nuclei on the table.
The people in the security zone once calculated that the permanent population of Bohai City is 9.5 million, and the proportion of second-level zombies is about one-tenth, and the proportion of second-level zombies with crystal nuclei is about one-third.
Roughly calculated, the total number of crystal nuclei in the entire Bohai City is only about 300,000.
Some of the abilities were consumed, some of the leaders who controlled the resources of the safe zone squandered some of them at the beginning, and the second-level zombie subordinates of the green ghosts who had not been taken out of the crystal nucleus...... The number of crystal nuclei that the military can grasp is probably reduced to less than 150,000.
In addition, the army also has to cultivate supernatural people, this number is even lower, and the longer it passes, the less crystal nuclei in your hands.
Five thousand crystal nuclei are probably the most crystal nuclei that can be taken out in Guanyin Pond now.
Obviously, the other party must know some secrets related to the outside, so he will be so generous to give up the crystal nucleus.
More important than the crystal nucleus is health and peace.
Everyone gathered around those crystal nuclei, looking at them greedily, and no one dared to touch them.
Lin Zongheng couldn't help but jump out to refute Zhang Yan again.
He frowned and questioned:
"Zhang Yan, I think it's definitely a problem that they can come up with so many crystal nuclei in a hurry. At the beginning, we had fifty crystal nuclei in the security zone, which was already a lot of money, no matter how much the materials were circulated, no matter how desperately we tried to kill the second-level zombies, the most people could only have a hundred, which was the upper limit. That's why Qin Yingwei fought hard with you before, because fifty is indeed a large number. Not to mention five thousand ......"
"There will be no problem. Rest assured. ”
Zhang Yan lightly blocked Lin Zongheng's words.
Her self-confidence stems from her sense of danger that doesn't seem reliable, but is actually reliable.
This time, she didn't have any premonition of danger, so the crystal nucleus certainly wouldn't cause trouble.
Zhang Yan picked up a bag of crystal nuclei and handed it to Lin Zongheng:
"The experiment report is what we all obtained, and these crystal nuclei should be evenly distributed. There are 30 of us in total, 150 pieces per person, and the extra 500 pieces are temporarily deposited with me, do you have no opinion? ”
The crowd didn't expect it to be evenly distributed, and most of them were in favor of the idea.
Lin Zongheng was holding a bag of crystal nuclei, and he was a little at a loss for a while, he didn't expect Zhang Yan to actually gag him with emitting crystal nuclei.
Liu Mang and Ning Meng even felt that Zhang Yan had taken less.
Ning Meng suggested:
"It's better to have a hundred pieces per person, captain, you contribute the most, I think you should take another thousand more! The remaining 1,000 are here for you in case you need them. ”
Several others chimed in, but it was clear that some did not want their interests to be touched, and were reluctant.
Zhang Yan shook her head expressionlessly:
"It's as much as you can say, one hundred and five for one person. This is regarded as a windfall for winning the lottery, and there is no saying that you will get more for more work, so don't compare. ”
After speaking, Zhang Yan handed Zheng Ziye, Liu Mang, Ning Meng, and Meng Hanbing a bag of crystal nuclei each, and asked them to be responsible for sending them to others.
Most people were pleasantly surprised by this windfall and gladly accepted it.
But a few people will be a little uncomfortable.
For example, Zhou Ran, and Miao orchids.
Zhou Ran and Miao Lanhua do not have abilities, and in this team with a majority of abilities, those who do not have abilities will of course pay less.
There are six people in the team who have no special abilities, and the four people except Zhou Ran and Miao Lanhua are also working hard, collecting firewood, digging tunnels, setting up sentry, and investigating the situation in the outside village...... There's a lot of work to do.
Zhou Ran and Miao Lanhua both have a relatively low degree of contribution, Zhou Ran is negative and inferior, and Miao Lanhua is lazy.
Even if Zhang Yan emphasized that this distribution was not based on the amount of labor, Zhou Ran and Miao Lanhua were also panicked.
When connecting the crystal nucleus, both of them were a little awkward, wanting to refuse, but reluctant to refuse.
Zhang Yan saw the reaction of these two people, and added lightly:
"If you are weak, you can rely on these 150 crystal nuclei to take the opportunity to improve your strength, those who don't have abilities can eat their abilities quickly, and those who have abilities can strive to eat second-level abilities."
In this way, Zhou Ran and Miao Lanhua felt a lot less guilty.
Everyone put away their crystal nuclei, and after chatting and laughing for a while, those who had no abilities also began to craze the crystal nuclei wildly, striving to get their abilities.
This batch of crystal nuclei seems to be relatively high-quality mid-stage crystal nuclei, and the activation rate is much higher than that of late-stage crystal nuclei, and they are very lucky, and those who have no abilities have eaten their abilities!
The six new abilities are probably physique-related, and the abilities they inspire are all the most common, all of which are earth, wood, and water.
Although I was a little disappointed with the ability I got, I was able to help more in the future, and several people straightened their waists.
Before going to bed, Zhang Yan adjusted the vigil and doubled the number of vigils.
These days, it probably won't be very peaceful, so it's better to be more vigilant.
……
Gyeonghwa City, Office of the President of the National Government Office.
The president of Huaxia sat in his office chair with a frown, wearing gloves, and carefully flipped through the pile of sterilized documents in his hand.
This pile of documents is the draft report of the M560 virus experiment, which has been tested by experts and professors several times before it was sent to the president, and now the report in the president's hand has been revised countless times and is close to perfection.
The president carefully looked at the various annotations, and compared the handwriting at the beginning, and roughly understood how much effort it took to revise it.
After reading it, the president smiled with satisfaction, with a hint of tiredness in his smile:
"This thing came at a really good time. If it's any later, it's going to be a big problem......"
This sentence was addressed to the old man in front of him.
The old man standing in front of the president smiled slightly and nodded:
"Yes, this report was able to quickly save the situation. First of all, we need to put some purification agent, which can reduce the activity of zombies, and this is relatively easy to make, and it can be put into use within forty-eight hours. Vaccines, on the other hand, will take some time to develop. ”
The president is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a good appearance and full of righteousness.
It's just that he is still in the prime of life, but between his eyebrows is like a centenarian, and with a touch of sorrow:
"Wu Linguo, you tell me the truth, even if a purifying agent is used, will the infected person never be saved?"
The old man named Wu Linguo explained seriously:
“…… Yes. Even if all the viruses in the body are purified, it is impossible for zombies to return to normal people, because their body functions have been destroyed, and many normal cells will be damaged in the process of killing the virus. When the virus in the body is killed, the zombies will die naturally after a few days, and we predict that this process will be more painful, because they are similar to vegetative people at this stage, their basic physiological needs are still there, and their physiological feelings are also there, but they can neither digest the food of zombies nor healthy people, and in the end they are basically starved to death. ”
The president nodded and continued to ask:
“…… What about serum? What about vaccines? Where's the progress? ”
Wu Linguo sighed:
"The vaccine can be manufactured in 10 days and put into use in large quantities. The development of the serum has encountered problems, and the human test report of the M560 virus has not helped, and we are still working on it. However, even if the serum is developed after a few months, the patient will have to use it every day to maintain normalcy, and if the patient who uses the serum does not continue to use the serum for 24 to 48 hours, he will revert to the state of a zombie again, and he will never be able to save it. ”
The president rubbed his eyebrows and sighed faintly:
"It's a little troublesome, but as long as there is help. Go ahead and execute it now. ”
Wu Linguo nodded and walked quickly out of the president's office.
The president turned on the television in his office and watched the news on the internal channel of national politics with a solemn expression.
On the news, the female anchor has a serious expression and speaks at a slightly faster speed to broadcast the situation across the country today.
In the whole of China, M560 infections have been found in 25 cities, and despite timely control, the number of infected people continues to rise.
Today, the total number of M560 infections in the country has exceeded 200,000.
This does not include those infected in the "Bohai City Lockdown Zone".
Bohai City was the first and most dangerous location for the M560 outbreak, and when the infection was learned, the state immediately locked down the area, which was a very wise decision.
But even if the infected people in Bohai City can't escape, the entire Huaxia Kingdom can't escape the shadow of M560.
In the accident of Bohai City decades ago, all the citizens became hidden carriers.
At the beginning, people either stayed in Bohai City or left Bohai City, and under the flow of people, people who once carried the M560 virus in their blood traveled all over China and even around the world.
These infected people are less contagious than those in the lockdown area of Bohai City, but they are no less deadly.
It's not just Huaxia that is facing this disaster, but now, the whole world is threatened.
President Huaxia watched TV silently and thought about a lot of things.
Half an hour later, he stood up, looked at the blue sky outside the window, sighed, and said to himself:
"How difficult it is to prosper the country. This may be a test for Huaxia. After all this has passed, this account must be settled with the initiator. ”
Even he needs to encourage himself with such words.
I can only hope that the experimental report can really stop the loss in time and everything goes well.
