Chapter 69: The Beginning of Purgatory
In the base, in the laboratory, several people in white coats and masks were waiting anxiously, even if they were wrapped tightly enough, but the restless restlessness still showed their anxiety.
The door of the laboratory opened, and a person came in, it was Murong Yue.
"Major General Murong, this is the indicator report of the zombies we have detected in the past two days." As soon as one of them in a white coat saw Murong Yue, he even omitted the basic greetings and directly said the most important thing this time.
He handed the report in his hand to Murong Yue, Murong Yue didn't look at the front, and directly flipped to the conclusion, which said that the zombie has recently increased by leaps and bounds in strength, speed and reflexes, and is close to an adult man.
At the same time, a kind of lens is slowly forming in the zombie's brain. The laboratory estimates that the increase in the strength of the zombies may be related to this lens.
In addition, the infectivity of zombies has also increased a lot with the improvement of zombie strength. It used to take almost 24 hours to get fully infected, but now it takes less than 20 hours.
Murong Yue looked at this report, even if he was not overjoyed, everyone could feel that the air pressure around him was getting lower.
The research on zombies has been following up, and everyone knows that zombies are evolving, and although the previous mutation speed was fast, it was still in a controllable range, but now, zombies have mutated in two or three days, so they have to arouse everyone's vigilance.
They don't know if the zombies are the only one anomaly or if there will be others in the future, but it's definitely not a good thing.
This month, after statistics from all parties, it is initially estimated that at least 50%~60% of people are now infected.
If the zombies continue to escalate, it will be difficult for humans to turn the tide, even if they have special abilities.
Yes, there are already some people in the base who know about the ability. It's just that the current ability is extremely weak, and it doesn't play a role. But Murong Yue had already realized the benefits of the ability, because he was a third-level lightning ability. He deliberately summoned the Adepts to train, but it was obviously difficult. Powerful people don't want to be controlled by others, Murong Yue is famous, but not everyone believes it.
And the proportion of supernatural people is very small, only one in 50 people. So far, not counting the original abilities of the army, Murong Yue has only gathered less than a thousand people.
Murong Yue has always been far-sighted, and he has a certain plan for everything he does, but this zombie mutation will disrupt his arrangement.
Murong Yue finished a cursory glance at the report, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"The work in the lab is going on as usual, by the way, study the lens, and let me know when the results are available." Murong Yue arranged.
"Yes, Major General Murong." The person in charge of the laboratory was still a little frightened, but when he saw Murong Yue so calm, he was not so frightened.
Murong Yue got out of the laboratory and went straight to Murong Heng's office.
Whether or not to tell the general public about the zombie mutation is a matter to be discussed.
Murong Yue was inclined to tell them the truth, but Murong Heng was still hesitant.
Murong Yue has been in the army for many years, and he has an iron-blooded manly spirit, thinking that he should face difficulties head-on, and he should not shrink his head. Moreover, even if the base is not announced now, it will not be long before people themselves will find out, so it is better to speak out and let everyone prepare early.
Murong Heng agreed with Murong Yue's point of view, but the reason why he hesitated was because of the stability of the base.
This month, because of the strong methods of the Murong family, the base has gradually stabilized, and although people are also terrified after experiencing the end times, they also have a certain sense of belonging to the southwest base.
It's a sensitive time now, and everything in the base is slowly getting on track, and if this news is released, it will definitely cause great waves.
People nowadays are mentally fragile, and even the slightest problem can break them.
In Murong Yue's opinion, the things that Murong Heng was worried about were not big problems, and he felt that his father's thinking was a typical politician's thinking.
If it is not broken or standing, how does he know that the new life after despair will not be stronger?
