With Xu Xiafeng's order, nearly a quarter of the soldiers in the square team on the field raised their legs and walked out of the team, while the rest were disbanded on the spot and continued to do their previous work.

"Tell me the number......"

Xu Xiafeng's eyes narrowed slightly, scanning the remaining soldiers, his eyes were full of pride, like a wolf king, scanning the wolf cubs below.

After a short and simple report, Xu Xiafeng got the number of forty-seven.

"Forty-seven Enhancers...... Very good! Those with first-order abilities are listed! ”

As early as 10 days ago, not long after the outbreak of the catastrophe, the Ninth Military Region restored communications, got in touch with the capital, and learned the general situation of the situation.

Similar to what Xu Xiafeng thought, this catastrophe was a premeditated biochemical attack, by throwing a secondary virus into the water source, to achieve the purpose of defeating the old order.

But the news that came later made the military commander a little confused.

As a biological weapon, the secondary virus seems to be not only a powerful infectious virus, but from another point of view, it is not even a virus, but a catalyst.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that a virus is a non-cellular organism with a tiny, simple structure, containing only one kind of nucleic acid DNA or RNA, and can only parasitize and proliferate in replication in living cells.

Generally speaking, viruses can only achieve the purpose of self-reproduction through parasitic hosts.

Once there is no host to parasitize, it cannot survive on its own.

It stands to reason that viruses that rely on the host to survive should not kill the host in a hurry after infecting the host, but should reach a delicate balance with the host and live in harmony.

Because only in this way can we continuously expand the number of populations and achieve the goal of continuous reproduction of organisms.

But viruses in nature have a very mentally retarded characteristic, that is, once the host cannot kill the virus, then the virus will kill the host and then return to the West with the host.

Thinkers

There is no such thing as harmonious coexistence.

However, the secondary virus is like the wise man in the virus, and with all the characteristics of the virus, it also eradicates the original mental retardation characteristic of "having to kill the host".

The secondary virus is still fighting with the host for control of the body, but this time, whether the virus wins or loses, the host's body will undergo drastic changes.

However, all organisms infected by secondary viruses will not fail their organs at all, on the contrary, they will be more powerful than before the infection, and the force of muscle contraction, the oxygen carrying capacity of hemoglobin, and even the activity of germ cells will be greatly improved.

It's like giving the host a whole body health care and rejuvenating the second spring of life.

So now there are two situations.

In the first case, the secondary virus occupies the high ground and successfully gains control of the body, and in order to obtain more nutrients and reproductive conditions, the host will become a blood-drinking and flesh-eating zombie, forever hungry and thirsty, ferocious and brutal.

The second is that the immune system defeats the secondary virus, at this time, the virus will be transformed into a harmless enhancer to the human body, and it is still dedicated to performing the duties of great health care, but it no longer fights for control of the human body, and lives in harmony with the host.

In this case, another kind of existence is born—the Enhancer.

As you can tell from the name, the Enhancer is an evolutionary human who is stronger than ordinary humans, and can maintain his sanity while possessing a powerful power equivalent to that of a zombie.

And according to the news from above, the Enhancer can continue to evolve and become a more powerful existence.

The first-order ability is the first threshold that ordinary people encounter after becoming an enhancer.

I succeed in immunizing against the infection of the secondary virus in the body and become a booster

After that, the secondary virus will have a certain impact on the genome in the human body, loosening the originally unbreakable helix chain.

For example, if a human heart fails, the only way to do it is to find a suitable human heart for organ transplantation.

Because if the model does not match, the receptor of the heart is likely to have a violent rejection reaction, using its own immune system to kill the newly transplanted heart.

However, the body successfully immune to the secondary virus is different, the gene chain changes allow their bodies to accommodate a wider range of external heresy, and the heart that would otherwise be rejected in the body of ordinary people will be transplanted into their chest cavity will beat extremely powerfully.

Even more extreme, transplanting a pig's heart for the enhancer, the enhancer's body will not only not produce rejection, but can live alive for a long time.

However, as the gene chain accepts more heretics, it will also be altered by these heretics.

For example, if a person is exposed to a dog's foreign genes, once the fusion is successful, his sense of smell is likely to be greatly improved.

This type of trait is called gene assimilation.

And the key to becoming a capable person is to contact foreign genes after the secondary virus strengthens the body.

And there are two ways of gene assimilation.

One is direct contact with unpurified foreign genes and direct contamination of external gene fragments, which is simple and crude, but the consequences are incalculable.

People may have been genetically contaminated by mosquitoes after becoming enhancers, and acquired certain mosquito attributes and abilities.

It is also possible that due to its own tolerance, it is delayed in being contaminated and assimilated by other genes.

In short, the outcome of genetic contamination is unpredictable and full of uncertainty.

The counterpart to genetic contamination is gene grafting.

Screening and purifying high-quality gene fragments, directly introducing them into the human body through surgery, and completing assimilation under the action of secondary viruses.

This method is demanding and requires complex surgical conditions, and according to the current information available to the military, it is simply not enough to reproduce the surgical conditions for gene grafting.

Therefore, the first-order ability people in the Ninth Military Region are all like Ma Long and Zhang Jike, who have been genetically contaminated, so they have become first-order ability people by mistake.

Looking at the five first-order abilities standing in front of him, Xu Xiafeng raised his eyebrows lightly and nodded imperceptibly.

"You guys, come with me, I have something to discuss with you, and the remaining enhancers will be disbanded on the spot, continue to be vigilant, and once a mutated zombie appears, kill them on the spot."

Xu Xiafeng, who has always called himself Lao Tzu, actually changed his mantra and used a relatively polite tone when facing a first-order ability.

However, although the tone was polite, it was not humble, after all, Xu Xiafeng himself was also an enhancer who had passed the infection period, but due to his own tolerance, he was not genetically contaminated and became a first-order ability.

With five first-order abilities, Xu Xiafeng entered the lounge next to the training ground, which had been cleaned up, except for the blood stains of zombies remaining on the walls, everything else was the same as before the catastrophe.

"Sit down, comrades-in-arms."

After saying this, Xu Xiafeng took the lead and sat on the nearby small stool, his slightly bloated body cooperating with the falling action, making the surrounding soldiers sweat for the small stool in their hearts.

I was afraid that the military commander would accidentally collapse the stool.

"Team Xu, is there anything important to say about calling us here?"

The first to speak was a young man with a round face, with a neat hair, who looked to be in his early twenties.

The young man's name is Chen Xiao, and he doesn't know what to say about him

Good or bad luck, after surviving the initial infection period, these two goods hurriedly joined the cleanup team, thinking about cleaning up the zombies in the military area as soon as possible.

As a result, during the cleanup process, a mutant military dog infected by the virus sprang out of the corner and pounced on Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao, on the other hand, had not yet adapted to the strengthened body, causing his dodge to be sluggish for a moment.

Although there was no humiliating death dog mouth in the end, but the forearm was still bitten by the ferocious military dog, coincidentally, Chen Xiao's body did not seem to reject the exogenous genes of such creatures as military dogs, and after a day and a night of coma, this young man with a round face and a small head inexplicably became a first-order ability.

"Ahem, sit down first, I'm afraid that you won't be able to accept it for a while, so sit on the ground."

Swinging his thick palms at will, Xu Xiafeng's words had a hint of black humor.

Hearing the commander of the military district say this, the rest of the people became more and more confused, so they had to find a seat nearby and wait for the next step.

Seeing that the five of them had already taken their seats, Xu Xiafeng cleared his throat and spoke.

"New instructions have come from above, the whole military region has entered a state of war, the original military rank system has been abolished, and everyone has started equally and accepted the evaluation of the new military ranks."

"What?!"

Xiao is five people were mentally prepared, and when they heard Xu Xiafeng say the news, they still stood up from their chairs in surprise and looked at each other in disbelief.

"The original military rank system is invalid? This ......"

Chen Xiao, a round-faced young man, was the first to speak, his personality is a more cheerful type, and if he has any questions, he will ask them as soon as possible, and he will not hold them in his heart.

"Isn't this a good thing, disrupt the original establishment, rearrange according to strength, you boys, maybe you will be my top boss in the future."

Xu Xiafeng dug his nostrils nonchalantly and put his thick calves on the table opposite.

"But if the original establishment is disrupted, isn't the capital afraid of chaos within our military region?"

The question was asked by a dark-skinned young man, whose height of 1.8 meters should make him look oppressive, but his thin figure weakened this oppressive force, and with a slightly honest face, it was easy to think that he was a hard-working farmer in a rural field.

But if you really think of him as an honest and honest young man, it will suffer a lot of losses.

The name of the thin black young man is Xu Kai, and there is a logical heart hidden under his inconspicuous appearance.

Especially after becoming a capable person, this young man's style of acting has become more and more cautious, and several times he has detected the threat lurking in the shadows in advance, and saved his unwitting teammates in time.

"Breaking it into pieces, maybe the capital side just wants to give up the previous set of things and start over."

Without answering Xu Kai's question directly, Xu Xiafeng pulled his fingers out of his nostrils, found a fairly clean place on his clothes, and wiped them without hesitation.

"Hmm......"

Seeing Xu Xiafeng's indifferent appearance, Xu Kai's mouth opened and closed again.

"Cubs, the world is not the same as before, although the job of those of us as soldiers is to fight, but this time the situation is not the same as the previous conventional war."

"Lao Tzu, I relied on the previous commander of you, and then I had the courage to say a few more words."

"Several of you are first-order ability, as the forerunner of the Ninth Military Region, Lao Tzu is not qualified to ask you to do something for the Military Region, but you are all brought out by Lao Tzu, no matter how the situation changes in the future, Lao Tzu hopes that your original intention will not change!"

Speaking of this, Xu Xiafeng stood up from the small stool, his eyes swept over the five first-order abilities present.

"The original intention has changed, no matter how strong the strong are, they are all worthless garbage!"
