Chapter 540: Surviving
Zhang Qiru and the others spent a little time cleaning up the ordinary zombies, and then joined Brother Leopard outside. Zhang Qidao and Shang Ze were also there, and Shang Ze handed over the wounded to the soldiers who came to the rescue halfway, and then turned back to Zhang Qiru.
"What are you guys doing, so much of a commotion?" Zhang Qidao asked.
"How do I know! As we walked, we met those three big guys, and we couldn't beat them, we couldn't run, so we had to hide and rest for a while! Zhang Qiru said.
"Speaking of those three guys, when did a new zombie breed come out again? It's fierce enough! Zhang Qidao said.
"I don't know, we've seen the dog king, and it is estimated that the other two are similar, both of them are evolved from special species, and their defense is super strong!" Zhang Qiru said.
"The defense is super strong, and it is still broken by our heavy machine guns!" Brother Leopard said.
"Who did you break? Didn't let them run away? And, don't you see that all three guys have exoskeletons on them? It's not strong enough now, but it's basically able to defend against a single 12.7mm bullet, and if you continue to strengthen, it's estimated that you can carry a 12.7mm bullet in a short period of time! Zhang Qiru said.
"Hehe, that's what I'll say!" Brother Leopard snorted and laughed.
"Well, it's a nuisance! These guys will slowly evolve bone armor that can defend against 12.7mm bullets, and it will be even more difficult to deal with when the time comes! Zhang Qidao also said.
"Alas, there is no way, zombies are not the masters who will not fight back after being beaten! Let's talk about that later! Zhang Qiru also has no other way.
"By the way, who are these guys?" Zhang Qidao pointed at Wu Gang and asked.
"Oh, this is the special operations team of the Northwest Base, and this is their captain Wu Gang!" Zhang Qiru said.
"Hello!" Wu Gang took the lead in stretching out his hand and shook it with Zhang Qidao.
"Hello!" Zhang Qidao also responded politely.
But after the two held hands together, there was no sign of letting go, and Zhang Qiru could see that Wu Gang was testing Zhang Qidao's strength. Zhang Qiru didn't stop it, but watched from the sidelines. The resistance is holding back, but the strength is comparable, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the green tendons on the hands of the two of them bursting up, and they have already used all their strength.
"Ahem! Almost! Zhang Qiru said.
"Hehe, I'm sorry!" Wu Gang said with a smile.
"It's okay! Captain Wu is really good grip! Zhang Qidao also said with a smile.
"Each other, each other!" Wu Gang said.
"It's not good to stay here for a long time, let's go back first!" Zhang Qidao said.
"Well, good!" Wu Gang said.
So a group of people and horses rushed all the way back to the base of the villa in armored vehicles. After returning to the villa, Zhang Qiru took Wu Gang into the villa, and Li Xiaorou was operating on the wounded. After waiting for more than half an hour, the operation was completed.
"Doctor, is she alright?" Wu Gang saw Li Xiaorou come out and immediately asked.
"You are?" Li Xiaorou looked at it and asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I am the captain of the wounded inside, my name is Wu Gang, and I was brought here by Captain Zhang! Wu Gang said.
"Oh, she's fine, just a broken bone, just rest for a while! She is a strengthened person, and the recovery speed will be relatively fast, and she will be able to walk normally in about half a month! Li Xiaorou said.
"Thank you, doctor!" Wu Gang said.
"Okay, she needs time to rest now, don't bother her!" Li Xiaorou said.
"Okay, I got it!" Wu Gang glanced inside the medical room, and then returned to the hall.
"Don't worry, Li Xiaorou is a good surgeon, she will be fine!" Zhang Qiru saw Wu Gang coming down and said.
"Thank you, Captain Zhang!" Wu Gang said.
"Captain Wu, let's talk about the antivenom, shall we?" Zhang Qiru said.
"Huh? Is it here? Wu Gang asked.
"Well, don't worry, no outsiders are allowed here!" Zhang Qiru said.
"Okay!" Wu Gang said.
"Earlier you said you found a plant that boosts the effect of antivenom, what happened?" Zhang Qiru asked directly.
"It was during a rescue operation to the south, and there was an operational team that was almost completely wiped out, but it brought back a very important piece of information. In the course of their mission, they discovered that both evolutionary animals and zombies were very interested in a special plant. At first, they thought it was nothing, but then in an accident, they discovered that the plant could actually promote the evolution of zombies and evolutionary animals! They immediately reported the news to the higher-ups, but before they could collect samples, they were attacked by both evolutionary creatures and zombies, and only one soldier escaped and brought back a leaf of the plant. Wu Gang said.
"You studied that leaf and came to the conclusion that the plant enhances the antivenom?" Zhang Qiru asked.
"Hmmm! Fundamentally, it is not augmentation, but it contains substances that can activate viral genes, whether it is a virus that has fused and evolved, or a virus that mutates zombies, it can promote the further function of these viral genes. Wu Gang said.
"What about humans?" Zhang Qiru asked.
"Of course it's useless! Humans are the only species abandoned by this evolution, and viruses have no other purpose than mutations other than those of us, and this virus seems to be specifically aimed at humans! Wu Gang said.
"Then according to what you said, this substance should be able to greatly reduce the amount of evolved species serum and mutant zombie serum in the antivenom serum?" Bai Chunyu suddenly appeared in the living room.
"Who is this?" Wu Gang asked.
"The chief researcher of the Los Angeles base, Bai Chunyu! The first type of antivenom was invented by her! Zhang Qiru said.
"It turned out to be the famous Director Bai! Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! Wu Gang hurriedly got up and said.
"You're welcome! Continuing with the topic above. If this substance really has the kind of effect you said, then there should be a lot of evolutionary creatures and high-level zombies competing for it, since it can't be synthesized artificially, then you can only go to the south to find it? Bai Chunyu said.
"Director Bai is right! It is rare to look for, and botanists estimate that it requires a very special environment to grow, and it is difficult to figure out exactly what kind of environment is needed, so it is not possible to conduct cultivation experiments. In addition, due to the small number of them, I am afraid that cultivation tests are not allowed! However, although the special substance is required to make antivenom, the amount used is very, very small! Wu Gang said.
"I see! You are planning to go to the south to look for those plants, but you can't use a large number of military forces, first, for fear of leaking secrets, and second, it is unnecessary, because there are too many people and it is chaotic! Bai Chunyu said.
"Director Bai's words really hit the nail on the head!" Wu Gang said with a smile.
