It was already evening when the zombies besieged the city.

By the time Pang Xuelin and the others rushed out of the encirclement of the zombie herd in Erwin Town and arrived at the gas station, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

The gas station was dark and dark, and there was no light.

Fortunately, the night did not bother Alice or Pang Xuelin, and Pang Xuelin could clearly see several black figures wandering in the gas station.

"Little Northeast, you stay in the car first, and Alice and I will go and clean up the zombies first."

Pang Xuelin took a pistol and got out of the car with Alice.

The two moved swiftly and quietly entered the gas station.

Soon, the gunshots rang out, and the zombies in the gas station were swept away by Pang Xuelin and Alice.

Among them, a few zombies looked a little familiar, and they were the black bosses and his men who were in charge of guarding the gas station that Pang Xuelin had seen two days ago.

Subsequently, Pang Xuelin found the location of the generator in the gas station, and after a while, the entire gas station was bright.

After throwing the dead zombies out of the gas station, Pang Xuelin and the others began to count the houses in the gas station.

Needless to say, the gas station has more than 5,000 gallons of gasoline and diesel in stock.

In addition, the gas station is stocked with food, as well as various weapons and ammunition.

What surprised Pang Xuelin the most was that there was an underground machine well at the gas station, which could directly draw water for bathing and car washing.

In the next two days, the three of them stayed in the gas station to rest, and during the day, Pang Xuelin and Alice went out to clean up the zombies near the gas station again.

Pang Xuelin even took some time to go back to Erwin Town to have a look.

The entire town of Elwin has been completely overrun by zombies, and there are no living people inside.

On the third night of resting at the gas station, Pang Xuelin and Alice finished eating dinner made by Xiao Dongbei and said; "Little Northeast, Alice, we're pretty much done here, it's time to go."

"Brother Pang, are you going to the base you said?"

Xiao Dongbei was curious, Pang Xuelin nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, we are going to the Kempten base in Utah." ”

Alice on the side just ate quietly and didn't make a sound.

Pang Xuelin has learned about Alice's temper in the past few days, and since she doesn't speak, it means acquiescence.

Early the next morning, the three of them loaded the supplies they needed for the long journey into the car.

Before leaving, Xiao Dongbei rinsed the Ford F550, which had been relatively clean, with tap water.

Subsequently, Pang Xuelin started the car and went to Kempten Town according to the previously planned route.

During this time, although Pang Xuelin has been wandering outside, he has been keeping in touch with Jill and Claire through satellite phones.

Therefore, Pang Xuelin has always been aware of the construction progress of Kempten Town.

At present, the town of Kempten has gathered more than 9,000 people, including more than 2,000 with military backgrounds, and more than 1,000 professional and technical personnel of various kinds, including scientists, engineers, doctors, and so on.

Most of the rest are the families of these people, and a small number are refugees from Claire and Jill.

The Umbrella Company has also complied with the agreement reached and has given strong support to the Kempten base.

They not only provided the Kempten base with a large amount of food, oil, weapons and equipment, and various building materials.

Various instruments were even provided to restart the underground laboratory at the Kempten site.

Pang Xuelin was not surprised by the behavior of the umbrella company.

In the two months since he entered the world of Resident Evil, he has realized how rebellious the tube of genetic optimizer that the system rewards him is.

With the level of research in the field of life sciences of the umbrella company, it is inevitable that it will be able to detect the abnormalities of the genes in its own body.

Therefore, with his own active cooperation, it is impossible for Spencer to turn his face with himself.

Even Pang Xuelin himself had the idea of wanting to study that genetic optimizer.

After all, this super elixir that has not observed any side effects for the time being, but has improved all aspects of the body in an all-round way, is really amazing.

……

Colorado and Utah are adjacent to each other, and the distance from Elwin Town to Kempten base is only five or six hundred kilometers in a straight line.

If you go from the highway, you can reach it in half a day.

But it's almost impossible now, not to mention the zombie hordes wandering around, those abandoned vehicles on the highway alone are enough to give Pang Xuelin and them a headache.

As a result, Pang Xuelin had to take a detour from time to time, and sometimes simply drove through the wilderness.

Fortunately, the off-road performance of the Ford F550 is quite good, and the various accessories carried by Pang Xuelin are relatively complete, so three days later, Pang Xuelin and they finally saw the Kempten base located in the plains below the ridges of Vasatra and Yuyingta.

Compared to Erwin Town, the Kempten base was heavily guarded, and Pang Xuelin and they were stopped by a team of heavily armed soldiers five kilometers away from the base.

Fortunately, Claire and Jill ran out to greet them soon after receiving the news.

The moment he saw Pang Xuelin, Jill couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Professor Pang, how did you become the way you are now?"

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "What has I become, has it changed a lot compared to before?" ”

Jill looked strange, shook his head and said, "No, not much has changed. ”

When she first met Pang Xuelin, although Pang Xuelin had strong combat effectiveness, he was polite and scholarly in temperament.

Today's Pang Xuelin feels more like the image of an iron-blooded tough guy.

Pang Xuelin smiled, didn't continue to dwell too much on this topic, and said: "Claire, Jill, let me introduce you to you, this is Alice, this is Fan Zhiyuan, they are all companions I met on the road. ”

"Hello."

Jill's gaze swept over Alice, and with the instincts of a warrior, she sensed that this woman was not as simple as it seemed.

Then, everyone introduced themselves one after another.

Alice introduced herself briefly, just by name

It's the little northeast, stumbling and talking for a long time.

After greeting each other, the group got on the bus and headed to the Kempten base.

Xiao Dongbei's gaze at Pang Xuelin was a little weird.

He originally thought that Pang Xuelin only knew someone in the Kempten base, but he didn't expect that this huge base actually belonged to Pang Xuelin personally.

Also, what does Claire mean by calling Pang Xuelin Professor Pang?

Could it be that the big brother I think is an academic boss in the industry?

Pang Xuelin didn't care about Xiao Dongdong's gaze, and along the way, he was observing the scene in the Kempten base.

The Kempten site covers a large area, more than two square kilometers.

The defensive wall around the base is still under construction, but fortunately the area around the base is sparsely populated. There are not many human settlements within a radius of 50 kilometers.

After the outbreak of the T-virus, most of the people in the nearby town of Kempten were relocated to the base.

In addition, it is located near the Rocky Mountains, and the terrain is complex, so it is difficult for zombie groups to migrate here on a large scale, so there is no need to worry about safety issues at the Kempten base in the short term.

The reason why the defensive wall was built was more for the future.

After entering the base, Pang Xuelin found that the road surface in the base had basically been hardened, and various underground pipelines had been laid.

At present, most people still live in the kind of simple prefabricated houses, and if you want to really change your new home, you must wait for the construction of the defensive wall to be completed, and then you can release the labor force to build a new home.

Of course, in the very center of the base, there is a Kempten manor.

With more than 30 rooms on the estate, the villa is currently reserved for top scholars and their families.

Even Claire Gil and they live in the kind of simple prefabricated house.

Originally, Claire was going to arrange Pang Xuelin and Alice to live in the villa, but Pang Xuelin politely refused.

Pang Xuelin and they found a vacant board house near the board house where Jill and Claire lived and moved in.

Wait until everything is settled. Pang Xuelin asked Jill and Claire to convene a meeting of the current management at the base. It's kind of a formal acquaintance with each other.

The Kempten base is mainly divided into three major systems, namely the civil system, the military system and the scientific research system.

The civil affairs system is mainly responsible for various construction activities in the base, as well as land reclamation and sowing.

Because of the support of the umbrella company, all the daily necessities of the Kempten base are transported from outside, so there is no economic activity in the base for the time being, and everyone eats a big pot of rice.

Of course, except for children under the age of 14 and the elderly over 80 years old, everyone else must participate in the old director.

The military system is responsible for the security of the entire base.

At present, the total number of base guards exceeds 2,000 people, and they are equipped with helicopters, drones, tanks, armored vehicles, rocket artillery, mortars, and various rifles, machine guns and other weapons.

According to Claire, during the T-virus outbreak, they looted a U.S. military arsenal and, with the help of Umbrella Corporation, transported most of the arms inside.

In order to ensure that the entire base is not threatened by zombies, Jill and Claire will not only deploy various guard posts within a 20-kilometer radius of the base, but also send drones every day to conduct round-the-clock reconnaissance of the nearby area.

Once a zombie horde breaks into a thirty-kilometer radius of the base, they will send an army to clean up the zombie horde.

As long as you don't encounter zombies such as creepers, ordinary zombies don't pose much of a threat to the army.

After having a general understanding of the base as a whole, Pang Xuelin, led by Jill and Claire, entered the underground laboratory through the internal elevator in the basement of the manor.

Compared to the Hive Laboratory where Pang Xuelin had stayed before and the underground laboratory in Erwin Town, the underground laboratory at the Kempten base was much smaller.

Perhaps that's why the Umbrella Company later scrapped and sealed it.

At present, the chief scientists of the laboratory are mainly led by Professor Sprus, the former deputy director of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Nobel laureate.

Although Pang Xuelin did not know much about academic research in the field of life sciences, he had also heard of the name of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, also known as the Cord Spring Laboratory, is a not-for-profit, private scientific research and education center located in Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, New York, USA.

In the field of life sciences, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is known as the world's life science mecca, the "cradle of molecular biology", and is one of the most influential research institutions in the world.

The founder of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is James Dewey Watson, one of the discoverers of the DNA double helix structure map, known as the father of DNA, a Nobel Prize winner, and an advocate and implementer of the "International Human Genome Project".

In the real world, James Watson was later stripped of various honorary titles by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory because of his frequent remarks about racial IQ differences, and the two were a complete break.

After Pang Xuelin entered the laboratory, he quickly met Sprus, who had been waiting for a long time, and several scholars who were well-known in the life science field.

Spruce was not tall, looked a little thin, was in his fifties, had gray hair, and wore a pair of glasses.

"Hello Professor Pang, I'm Spruce, thank you very much for your acceptance."

Seeing Pang Xuelin, Spruce took the lead in stepping forward to shake hands with Pang Xuelin.

Two months ago, Pang Xuelin sent Jill to contact some bigwigs in the life science industry.

Most people shrugged off Jill's warnings, with Spruce contacting Jill as soon as he sensed something was wrong.

Then he and his family were lucky enough to be taken to the Kempten base.

In the past two months, the T virus has spread and developed around the world. Spruce has been rejoicing countless times about his decision.

Pang Xuelin shook hands with Spruce and smiled, "It should be." ”

Then, Sbruce leaned slightly sideways, pointed to a man in his forties standing beside him, and introduced: "Professor Pang, this is Professor Berkeley of Hopkins University, Professor Berkeley is a virologist, and currently in our laboratory, the research work on the T virus is mainly led by Professor Berkeley. ”

"Hello, Professor Berkeley."

Pang Xuelin shook hands with Professor Berkeley again.

"Hello, Professor Pang."

Berkeley also seemed to be taciturn, and after nodding at Pang Xuelin, he didn't say anything more.

Next, Pang Xuelin met several other bigwigs under the introduction of Sprus.

Professor George Robert, a molecular biologist from Stanford University, and Professor Huang Yu, a geneticist from the University of Pennsylvania.

It is worth mentioning that Huang Yu is also Chinese, and he is the second fellow Pang Xuelin has seen in this world.

Next, Pang Xuelin, led by Spruce and Berkeley, visited the underground laboratory.

The underground laboratory has a total of five floors, presented in an inverted cone shape, the first floor has the largest area, reaching 800 square meters, the second floor is 700, the third floor is 600, almost every floor, the area is almost reduced by 100 square meters, and the last floor is only 300 square meters.
