Chapter 50: A New War Zone
Qin Ge had picked up a total of hundreds of that unknown crystal, and the preliminary judgment was that it should have been dropped by those virus ghosts that he had killed with the power of qi and blood just now.
However, after he absorbed and fused all these crystals, the percentage of qi and blood he recovered was only five percent.
"Isn't this the disadvantage of the Gray Layer Transformation? I consumed fifteen percent of my qi and blood to kill those virus ghosts, and after absorbing the fallen crystals, I only replenished five percent, and I lost ten percent, which is not a very cost-effective thing. β
By analogy, whether the virus invades reality through the gray layer, or the reality counterattacks the virus through the gray layer, it is actually a war that must be lost, depending on which side's consumption can be delayed to the end. β
"Of course, there is also a possibility that the crystal level dropped by a low-level virus is also low, for example, if I can replenish a law crystal of the kind last time in the testing center at this moment, then I can easily replenish a full fifteen percent of my qi and blood, but there will be a fallacy here, can I drop that kind of high-level law crystal virus, can I deal with it now? I'm afraid I don't have to give up all my qi and blood to get it, or even not at all. β
Qin Ge pondered and felt that many mysteries already knew the answers, but there were even bigger mysteries behind the mysteries.
"In short, the power of qi and blood is a natural power, so use it as little as possible. β
Thinking of this, Qin Ge was vigilant in his heart, but at the same time, he also ignited another fire, he probably understood what the annual resource mission that the government and military had to launch every winter meant, it should be to enter this place, or even go deeper, and even the real gray layer to hunt the virus, and then obtain the law crystal, this resource is the law crystal is unmistakable.
In previous years, because of its low strength, the anti-virus department could only be responsible for breaking through the outer obstacles, that is, the fortresses built by those gray demons, which were actually leftovers from charity.
The real big heads are here, maybe some of the core elites of the Second Anti-Virus Division can be qualified to come in and get a piece of the pie, but it is estimated that the main force is still the military and the anti-virus hunters of Longjiang Province.
And now, he is fortunate enough to be a part of it, and it would be a huge waste if he still cringes and wants to live.
At this time, Qin Ge was holding a short sword, and his steps were light and searched forward.
ββ
Late at night, twenty kilometers outside the city of Amur, after just one day, it had turned into a huge military camp.
More than 100 tanks, dozens of self-propelled heavy artillery vehicles, as well as five helicopters, hundreds of transport vehicles, and engineering vehicles gathered here, and the land was leveled overnight, and it seemed that a field airfield was to be built here.
The 135th Regiment, which arrived in the early stage, was only the first vanguard to arrive recently because of the distance.
At this moment, the total number of soldiers stationed in this temporary barracks has exceeded 5,000, not counting the anti-virus hunters of the government and virus defense departments.
"Lao Wang, see it, this is the regular army, our second anti-poison department and your anti-poison one are just stragglers. β
In front of a tent far away from the barracks, Wang Zilin stood there with a haggard face, still stained with blood on his body.
Next to him, there stood a burly man, wearing a set of black heavy armor, and an introverted man, but he was Wang Zilin's old opponent, who had squeezed out and suppressed his anti-virus department in less than a year, and finally wiped out Jiang Rui, the director of the anti-virus department that collapsed today!
But in all fairness, Wang Zilin also had to be convinced, this man who was his high school classmate fifteen years ago, who had fought side by side to create a brilliant anti-virus in Gale City, did have the charm, ability, and most importantly potential that he did not have.
Back then, he had great strength, awesome power, lived in a comfortable villa, had a beautiful wife, and formed a warm family, which was simply the pinnacle of life.
But this old classmate of his chose another more bumpy and dangerous path, and finally fought to what he wanted the most.
That's the Silver Antivirus Hunter!
"Yes, we are all stragglers, and you are not!" said the prince with a wry smile.
"Haha! Lao Wang, I know what you are thinking, I am sorry to hide a lot from you, but please believe that I did not fight with you when I returned to Gale City, I was ordered to come back to investigate one thing, and now that the matter is over, the anti-virus operation department in Gale City is naturally still yours." Jiang Rui patted Wang Zilin's shoulder and said meaningfully.
The prince smiled bitterly, he was a defeated general, where did he have any prestige to lead the anti-drug operation again, not to mention that after this battle, he had even lost his last ambition.
Jiang Rui smiled slightly, and after pulling Wang Zilin forward a few steps, he pointed to the lively military camp and the field airport that had been started overnight and said in a low voice, "Old Wang, what is our relationship, with your always careful thinking, will you not see that this year's annual resource task is very different from the past? Tell you a secret, although this secret will be made public soon." β
"That is, in Longjiang Province, right in front of our eyes, a war zone will be set up!"
"War zone?" Wang Zilin still didn't quite understand, even if it was a war zone, it wasn't a secret!
"Hehe, this war zone is different, it's really different, but I can't say how it is different, I can only tell you, old man, don't be discouraged, the future is promising!"
Wang Zilin's expression moved, but he said, "What else can I do here, let's make do with it!"
Jiang Rui laughed, he didn't discuss this topic anymore, no one knew this former high school classmate better than him, and he said no, but he was actually moved.
"The matter I came back to investigate this time is actually not too directly related to the establishment of this war zone here, although I have advanced to the silver level anti-virus hunter, but in this matter I am just a little minion standing aside, so what I really investigated is a person, a code name, or a mysterious organization, Lao Wang, do you remember the first lesson we learned when we were admitted to high school? At that time, our textbook was still the first version. β
Wang Zilin looked at Jiang Rui with some surprise, not understanding why he mentioned this, but he still spoke.
"Remember, the content of the first lesson is "The First Doomsday of 2018", looking at it now, the invasion of the apocalyptic virus is really a piece of cake, but it is a sign of the last prosperous era, well, I still remember the high school biology teacher called Muyan Wang, it was his post, right?"
"Yes, his screen name is 'Crab is so delicious', haha, I was thinking at the time, how could someone have such a name, or is it that the thinking patterns of people in the last era are something that we can't capture at all?"
Jiang Rui also smiled, but then spoke in a serious tone, "The person I was ordered to investigate this time is this 'crab is delicious', because my boss has been wondering if there was any special aura at the end of the last era, he looked for a lot of information, and then he got two words - crab!"
"Did you know? Since the last era, going back more than 1,100 years, the frequency of the word crab has been increasing almost explosively at a very terrifying number. Especially after the first apocalypse in 2018, there were always various virus invasion cases with the word 'crab', such as 'crab three knives', 'steamed king crab' and so on. β
"At the time, it might have been considered a coincidence, but now it seems more like someone or some mysterious organization is warning the government of the virus invasion in this way. Of course, this could also be another conspiracy of the virus. β
"Waitβyou shouldn't tell me these secrets!"
The prince suddenly became alert.
"Hehe, Lao Wang, do you want to join us? If you don't want to join, you can forget what I just said, and go straight back to Gale City to be the boss of your anti-virus operation department, if you want to join, then you are your own person." β
"Why me?"
"There's no way, our department is the same as this mysterious war zone, it is newly created, and it is in urgent need of manpower, but this can't be indiscriminately filled, it must be a person with a clean net worth and outstanding ability, Lao Wang, you are a friend of mine who grew up, you know the roots, and although you lack courage in the overall decision, but your analysis of events and accurate vision of people are quite powerful, so you are qualified to join. β
"Well, if you come, I can grant you a place as a future silver-level anti-virus hunter!"
"You guys, what kind of department is that?" Wang Zilin finally moved.
"Hey, it's not a nice name, but it's new, we're called the cleaner. β
