Chapter 26: Injections
The four tough military Humvees have been severely deformed by the powerful force of the zombie horde, and the food in the cars has been eaten cleanly, but the zombies are still reluctant to leave.
Jiang Sen, who was running upstream of the river, his heartbeat was intensifying, and the intensified heartbeat was not due to the violent running, his entire mental consciousness was occupied by fanaticism and excitement, and his palms were full of cold sweat in the hot summer.
This is an unknown opportunity for him, in the future, because of the loss of Reagent Zero, no one knows what it does, it may have no effect on the human body, or it may be infected into zombies by vaccination, all of this is unknown, but Jiang Sen chose to take the risk.
"Poof!" In the upper reaches of the river two kilometers away where Reagent Zero fell into the water, Jiang Sen jumped off without hesitation, and the sweat all over his body immediately melted into the warm river water. Jiang Sen held his breath and swam quickly downstream.
In order to survive for a long time, in the early days of the disaster, the zombies began to constantly ooze water from the body, trying to keep the zombie body dry and minimize the appearance of corruption, so in the early stage of the disaster, the zombies hated water very much, and they could always instinctively avoid it when they encountered water, unless it rained, of course.
In the beginning, many bases had moats, thinking that the moat would permanently resist the attack of zombies, but the zombies' aversion to water would gradually become ineffective with the mutation of zombies and viruses. By the time they evolve into "2" or higher, their bodies have already undergone the primary stage of dehydration, and with the addition of their evolved bodies, they are already resistant enough to water.
Although Jiang Sen's body has been strengthened, in a certain sense, he has only completed the most basic physical strengthening of stones, and he is not a real strengthener, but this is enough for him to have the ability to dive and swim to the place where Reagent Zero fell into the water in one breath.
After groping for the No. 0 reagent in the bottom of the water, Jiang Sen swam downstream as quickly as a fish excitedly.
For about an hour, Jiang Sen had moved away from the corpses, peeking out of the river and breathing heavily.
The surrounding zombies had already joined the corpse group, so the surroundings were very quiet, Jiang Sen jumped into the residential building on the side of the road, chose a door to cover, made sure that there were no zombies, and the owner did not know where to go, and walked in.
The house was messy, and there was a musty smell that hadn't been cleaned in a long time. Jiang Sen walked straight through the living room, he pushed the sofa in the living room to the door, firmly sealing the entrance to the room.
Through the window, the street outside was quiet, only the sun scorched the asphalt road, and the water trail left by Jiang Sen all the way had evaporated.
He took off his wet shirt and sat down on the bed in his bedroom, breathing in order to calm his fast-beating heart.
It wasn't until everything regained composure that he took out the tattered briefcase from his bosom and placed it on the bed. Tear open the zipper, take a heavy metal box from the bag, and open it.
In the center of the shockproof partition filled with foam, a spiral hose with an injection needle lies quietly. It contained about thirty milliliters of liquid, which shimmered in a dazzling blue glow in the sunlight shining through the window.
"This is Reagent Zero?"
Jiang Sen silently looked at this tube of blue liquid, and suddenly an indescribable throbbing surged in his heart. Even he couldn't tell why, was it fear? Or anticipation? Or maybe it takes too much effort to end up getting it, but it doesn't produce the bland that it deserves joy?
Without a trace of hesitation, he pulled out the syringe with the closed sleeve and inserted it directly into the blood vessels in his arm, calmly watching the whole process of the blue liquid being pushed into his body.
There was no expected scene of intense cell movement, and everything was uneventful. Perhaps because the bones and nerve centers were strengthened, Jiang Sen did not feel pain or stimulation. It's like injecting a bottle of the most ordinary saline, quietly blending in, being quickly absorbed, and immediately transformed into a part of the body.
Jiang Sen showed a puzzled look on his face - in the future world, he had seen a lot of injections of genetic drugs, and the reason why the body had to be strengthened by stones before injecting genetic enhancement drugs was because the process of evolving from an ordinary person to a first-level strengthening person was very painful, and the stimulation of foreign hormones would first stimulate the secretion of blood, the number of red blood cells would increase exponentially, and the blood vessels and muscle fibers would expand by 30% within half an hour. The sudden intensification of the blood surge made the whole person suddenly increase in height, the physique became larger, and the skin instantly cracked, revealing muscles and new skin mucous membranes. There are even people who cannot withstand the intense stimulation, and the nerve center collapses on the spot and dies.
Raising his left hand, the skin was still smooth, and pale cyan blood vessels appeared near his wrist, as if nothing had happened.
I didn't feel the strengthening of my body, nor did I feel the symbol of mutation towards zombies in my body.
The muscles in his cheeks began to twitch, and dense sweat oozed from his forehead. Jiang Sen's face became extremely ugly. He was very hesitant, this fucking reagent zero won't be mixed with water, right, now Meng Po soup is popular with water, which makes people travel with memories, is it possible that the zero reagent is also mixed with water?
Jiang Sen does not feel any change in strength, and the muscles of each strengthened person will expand exponentially, which is the most significant manifestation of the rapid division of body cells, and it is also the most obvious difference in appearance between the strengthened person and ordinary people. Now, his body is very calm, and the injection of the blue potion is like a pebble thrown into a deep pool, and there is no splash.
At this moment, a deafening roar of engines was heard in the sky outside the window.
Jiang Sen's eyes froze, he knew that it was the military's helicopter, it seemed that the military's advance rescue team had arrived, and no one would let Reagent Zero be lost.
Not only the Western Bloc of the United States, which is improving its strength, will not stop pursuing it, but even the entire North American Central Bloc will certainly trace the cause and effect of the entire incident.
According to future records, investigators searched the vicinity of the intersection for several months. The military intelligence department tried to restore the scene at that time, but it had to be stopped due to the large number of traces destroyed, as well as time and conditions constraints.
The shrill roar of the engine instantly skipped over the residential area where Jiang Sen was. The wind and waves from the high-speed rotating helicopter propellers blew the curtains around the windows.
In the end, the helicopter hovered over the zombie group at the crossroads, and the layers of circular dust waves caused by the propeller continued to expand outward, and the powerful wind and waves blew away the mosquitoes shrouded in the zombie group, attracting the corpses below, and the zombies raised their heads one after another, stretched out their hands to the sky, and gathered to the vertical area closest to the plane.
On the plane sat a young man neatly dressed in the uniform of a lieutenant general, his smooth and fair face, revealing an angular coldness; dark and deep eyes, glowing with anger; The thick eyebrows, slightly squeezed together, showed the anger in his heart.
On either side of the back row, machine guns were mounted on either side of the open hatches, and a heavily armed guard was yelling at the zombies with angry faces. Another guard held a camera, and the camera slowly swept over the corpses. This irritated the dense zombies in the square more and more, and their howls became louder and more excited. In order to shorten the distance between them and the helicopter, the zombies began to use various objects on the ground. They climbed into the Humvee and even crowded each other on top of each other. A pair of cracked, rotten gray palms stretched straight out, but they still couldn't touch the landing gear at the bottom of the plane.
