Chapter 70: Next
Zheng Rui's first reaction was that she should also be given emotional control, but then she felt that maybe Bian Na didn't need it.
Although she is not much older than Zheng Rui, Bian Na is already a "real adult" in Zheng Rui's eyes. Faced with the moral test between life and death, and the risk of developing PTSD, it was up to her to consider whether or not to accept the support of psychic abilities.
What's more, Zheng Rui didn't want Bian Na to know that she had been relying on Fang Tong's abilities to maintain emotional stability—this thing was like a drug, and as a party member, it shouldn't be like this. But she felt that if she didn't have emotional control, she would definitely lose her ability to fight, and she made this choice to ensure everyone's safety. As an individual party member, of course, we should maintain the image of party members, but if this conflicts with the protection of ourselves and the people, then we can also give up to a certain extent.
After all, it's important to be alive.
— and now she's finally won a campaign-level victory.
You can take it slowly, but then there's something to be done.
The first is to arrange the remaining five Liu Haojia's "old departments" in the opposite community, as well as the four people who are missing. Those five people also had to make sure that they had really lost their abilities, otherwise they were secretly planning a counterattack, which the four people in the commissary couldn't stand it. And the four people who disappeared, Zheng Rui felt that he should go around to look for them, knowing that the other side could not be defeated.
The second is to clean up the surrounding area. According to the law of alien reproduction, the first generation of aliens spawned on August 15, the second generation of aliens appeared on August 19, and the second generation of aliens spawned on August 20. Assuming that other aliens also follow this time, there should be a third generation as soon as today, August 24th. Although this third-generation alien will not appear in the opposite community, it will inevitably appear in other regions. If Zheng Rui's assumption that the commissary is isolated from the flow of people and forms an "island" cannot be established, the future is still very dangerous.
Therefore, Zheng Rui's idea of "cleaning up the surroundings" is not only to eliminate the aliens that may wander around, but also to remove the human corpses that may be spawned by the aliens, and even to control the other people who may exist around them to migrate in the direction of the commissary - of course, this "control" is not to eliminate the opponents of his own kind, but in order to block the flow of people who may attract aliens, it is estimated that conflicts will still inevitably occur.
According to Zheng Rui's hypothesis that energy converters can maintain normal physiological activities, there is no need for people to search for and grab food, which is meaningless internal friction. She believes that the current dominant strategy is different for large groups and small groups or individuals.
The total combat ability is enough to resist the large group of aliens, and at this time, of course, more companions should be attracted and the defense organization should be formed in a group. However, if an individual or a small group with only a single digit does not have a "blood replenishment station" similar to the immortal type, once they encounter the third-generation aliens, it is estimated that even if there are no personnel losses, there will be people who will be seriously injured and lose their combat ability, so the strategy at this time should be to stay away from the crowd settlement that attracts the aliens and block the flow of people around them, so as to avoid contact with the wandering aliens.
It's just that to face the evolved third-generation alien, she also needs more powerful power.
Zheng Rui went to the warehouse again to cut the carotid artery and bleed. Now, even if she cuts both carotid arteries, she can no longer enter a state of suspended animation, so she can only bleed now. Considering that other, more "heroic" forms of suicide are more cumbersome to clean up, she thinks that if she can find some strong poisons such as cyanide, she might be more effective if she can find them.
But cyanide may have to be obtained in a chemical plant or chemical laboratory. Thanks to the current high-speed development of human information technology, Zheng Rui has become highly dependent on satellite navigation maps before, and now she doesn't know at all that in addition to the hospital that her grandfather often goes to, there are other places around this area where toxic reagents may be obtained......
However, from the perspective of cyanide, in fact, potassium ferricyanide can also be produced by heating, and potassium ferricyanide is a common reagent for the detection of ferric ions in middle school chemistry experiments. Zheng Rui knew that there was also a full-boarding secondary school down the road — which had been built in this cheap, underdeveloped area — where there might be some chemical reagents if there were underground buildings.
Of course, this in itself is based on multiple layers of guesswork, and the probability of finding a usable toxic agent is not high. But since it has been decided to clear the surrounding area, it will definitely be okay to look for it by the way.
While bleeding, he thought that after bleeding, Zheng Rui felt thirsty.
She walked out of the warehouse with a bottle full of blood, and looked around to see that she didn't see Benna.
Fang Tong: Sister Bian went to the other side.
Zheng Rui: Oh...... Hey, I forgot you're still "online".
Fang Tong: I can feel that you were ...... just now Bloodletting? I can use my abilities to relieve pain, but ...... You didn't bring it up, I thought ......
Zheng Rui: It's okay, I'm used to it - and simple bloodletting doesn't hurt much, and it probably has something to do with the effect of my blood itself on inhibiting cell necrosis.
She shook the 2L bottle filled with blood, and Fang Tong couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when she saw the bottle full of blood.
Fang Tong: You actually let out so much blood?
Zheng Rui: Not much. Now it seems that it won't break if it is left like this, and it is good to store the medicine here as us. By the way, how long has Sister Na been on the other side?
Fang Tong: It's been almost an hour. Xiaoyou also followed, and it should be fine.
Zheng Rui felt that after confirming that Zhao Weiming and Liu Haojia were dead, they were much bolder. Probably because of the removal of the fear in my heart. But this may not be the right attitude, Zheng Rui still believes that the enemy should be despised strategically, and the enemy should be valued tactically.
Zheng Rui: I'm going up and drinking some water. The rainwater in the alien shell should be fairly clean, can you go with you?
She proposed this invitation mainly to appreciate a little bit of Fang Tong's beauty. It's a waste to stay underground in poor light and not see anything clearly.
Fang Tong: Okay. By the way, are you hungry?
Zheng Rui: I'm still doing fasting experiments.
Fang Tong: I thought that you could project the feeling of eating while you drank water, which might alleviate a little bit.
Zheng Rui: Comrade Fang Tong, if you want to eat, just eat it. Don't forget to tell Sister Na when the time comes, the consumption record of materials is not under my control.
Fang Tong: No...... If you're not hungry, forget it.
To Zheng Rui's surprise, she actually felt a little angry emotion from Fang Tong in her mind as a "server". You must know that he has been able to hide his consciousness activities very well, Zheng Rui can't help but feel that this is Fang Tong deliberately letting her know.
That's pretty unusual.
Zheng Rui found it funny and wanted to play a joke on him.
Zheng Rui: Don't mind, of course I'm hungry. But I want to feel what it's like to chew alien meat, can you cooperate?
