Chapter Twenty-Seven: Zombie Advancement
After everything was settled, Murong and the others also returned home, ready to stay at home for a few days.
Three days later, Bai Wendong finally became a third-order awakened person with the help of the spiritual enhancement liquid, and Mu Rong planned to take Gu He'an to the exchange to find out the situation.
"You made that bottle of aura?" Gu He'an had been in retreat for almost the past three days, and he hadn't even eaten a meal, and he startled Su Mu and the others at first, until Mu Rong vaguely said his cultivation exercises, and everyone accepted it.
"What's the difference from the ichor you've drunk before?" Mu Rong asked him with a smile and didn't answer the previous question.
"Well, when the same amount is in it, I feel that the energy contained in it is much more than what I drank before, I only thought that it could accelerate my refining of spiritual energy, but now as soon as I drink it, I actually feel that my spiritual power has increased slightly." Although Gu He'an's previous sect was considered an ally with the Heavenly Spirit Sect, the spiritual liquid that could be distributed each time was only the original liquid, and only the sect master and the elder could get one or two lamps when it was distributed every month, so how could they be willing to let the alchemists in the sect use it to spoil and practice.
"Oh, if you like it." Mu Rong heard Gu He'an say this, and he was a little disappointed in the spiritual liquid in his mouth, is the effect not as good as the spiritual spring water? So what is she going to do? Is it that the spiritual liquid has a different effect elsewhere, or is there something special about the elixir formula for creating the spiritual root?
Seeing Mu Rong's frown, Gu He'an only thought about this spiritual liquid, and swallowed the idea of asking her for another bottle. After all, this spiritual liquid is not like the elixir that will produce poison in the body, nor will it produce dependence on cultivation, it is a rare good thing.
The two of them walked quietly to the door of the exchange.
The exchange is as "lively" as ever, but this excitement is not the crowd of people taking tasks inside the exchange, but the miserable cry outside the door.
"My son is really just freezing! He didn't have an infection, it was such a cold day, and it was snowing, he just had a cold! I beg you not to burn him! I beg you! "A slumberfully dressed old woman knelt on the ground and begged the soldiers at the door of the exchange.
"My husband is a stranger! There's no way he's infected with the zombie virus! Give him back! Give it back to me! "A young woman who was fairly well-dressed approached the door, as if she wanted to break through the cordon, but she was afraid of the guns in the hands of the soldiers and could not get close, so she could only cry at the door.
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't just let us live in a tent, my dad wouldn't have gone out in the snow to pick up some firewood! A half-grown teenager cursed the base's system.
Parents who beg for their children, couples who have lost their lovers, many cries and cries are mixed together, it is simply hell on earth!
"What's going on...," Murong muttered to himself.
"Murong?" It was Zheng Wu who walked towards them, and Mu Rong had never met him once in the more than a month he had lived in the base.
"Zheng Wu, what is the front?"
"Hey...... Didn't it snow heavily four days ago? It was that snow that actually infected many people again. Zheng Wu knew that the crowd gathered at the gate of the exchange had lost their relatives after the snow, and although he felt pity for them in his heart, he couldn't do anything about it, "You are here, should you?" ”
"No, no!" Mu Rong hurriedly denied it, listening to the cry in front and Zheng Wu's expression, Mu Rong could also guess what Zheng Wu was thinking.
"That's good, it's better not to go out for the next two days, although the snow is not falling, I don't know what other problems will happen!" If Zheng Wu wasn't a soldier, he wouldn't have gone out when people were panicking like this.
"Are all those people infected by snow?"
"It should be, after the snow, they all had a high fever, exactly the same as the people who were infected before the end of the world, which attracted the attention of the base, and after the inquiry, they did go out on the day of the snow." In fact, it would be nice if the base could analyze the composition of the snow, Zheng Wu thought to himself, but the base researchers only initially suspected that it had a certain connection with the zombies that day, and as a result, the next morning, the remaining collected samples disappeared like the snow outside. But this is a secret inside the base, and I can't tell it to the outside world.
So, what happens to those people ......? Mu Rong couldn't ask this, how would a normal ruler treat his people infected by the plague? It is really not uncommon to lock down cities in history.
"Hmm...... Yesterday there was already a situation of mutating into zombies, so this morning the base decided to gather them in the western suburbs, but I don't know who spread the news. "Zheng Wu's task today is to go door to door to search for the infected who have been hidden, and then gather them.
The topic was too heavy, and neither of them knew what to say, so they were silent for a while, but Mu Rong opened his mouth first: "Then have the zombies also become powerful?" ”
"I've been on a mission in the base for the past two days, but listening to the group of guys outside, the zombies' movements seem to have become much faster than before, and they are not much different from ordinary people, so I don't dare to go deep into the enemy camp recently."
"Then you should be careful when you go out in the future."
"Well, I will, by the way, it seems that someone picked up some shiny things outside the day before yesterday, and it is said that they found it in the head of the deaf and lost people!" Zheng Wu suddenly remembered this, but even if it was the same as the crystal nucleus in the novel, it would be useless for him if he didn't have any powers. However, Mu Rong, as an aderic, may need these things.
Crystal nucleus! Has it already appeared? This news is too important for Mu Rong, the crystal nucleus is much better than the elixir, she has so many families, the crystal nucleus is just needed for her!
"Thank you for telling me the news! If only it were really as it is written in the novel. If you have the chance, collect a few more, and maybe one day it will become the common currency of the base! Mu Rong was grateful to Zheng Wu for selling her favor, so naturally he didn't care about reminding him more.
"It makes sense, if there really is such a day, wouldn't it be a good time to pick up money for nothing." Zheng Wu then made a joke about the topic, and the atmosphere between the two was finally a lot more lively.
"Then you go and get busy, my house is now at No. 23 Tianyou Community, if you have a chance, you can go to me." Mu Rong's eyes were sharp, and when he saw an officer walking towards Zheng Wu in the distance, he was a little worried about whether Zheng Wu would be punished for chatting with his old classmates, as if he had ended the topic in a hurry.
"God bless the community?" Zheng Wu was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, Mu Rong was already a well-known powerhouse, and it was suitable to live in such a high-rise community, "If I have the opportunity, I will disturb." Zheng Wu didn't think much about it, as soon as the topic was over, he turned around and returned to the army, and when he saw the arrival of the commander after going back, he secretly whispered that it was dangerous.
