Chapter 252: A Strange Phenomenon

In the first two or three years of the last days, the alien species is indeed mixed like the sky. Dominate with the ability to control zombies and strong physical fitness. It's just that as time goes by, humans become stronger, all kinds of monsters appear, zombies fight back, and their unique advantage is gone.

Zhang Chen's layout in the magic capital should take this into account. Mu Tian has a very high opinion of himself, and with Mu Qiu here, he must plan something.

It is good to occupy the surrounding area at the foot of the mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But in this open-air plaza-like environment, it is still far from enough.

The retreat of everyone at the Pearl Base, the empty university town is the best base. As long as the aliens are competitive, they can also establish bases for development.

In addition, it is close to the city of the magic capital, so it is more convenient to collect supplies and rescue survivors. Wandering outside can also give the survivors some assistance.

The most important thing is that the location is excellent, as long as you hold the Lover's Bridge, there is basically not much danger, and the layers of defense have become stronger.

Zhang Chen not only discussed with Liu Hengyu with great interest about arranging defenses after occupying the position, but also decided to go there in person to guide him when he had time in the future.

When the two finished talking, most of the hour passed.

And Wang Qiang, who was constantly rolling on the ground, gradually stopped pricking and lay softly. It's just about being exhausted by the heart-rending pain.

Sure enough, as Zhang Chen expected, the effect of Liu Hengyu's test potion was much worse. The sarcoma and black blood vessels on Wang Qiang's face still exist, but they have shrunk a lot, and the skin has become shiny and not so hideous and white.

Originally, a pair of white pupils became black and white, slightly reddish. The skin around the eye sockets is ruddy, basically no different from ordinary people.

That's the biggest change!

It shows that the genetic potion provided by the mysterious merchant really has an effect. It's just that the effect of the drug is not very strong, and it needs to endure unimaginable pain.

The other three hooded men watched the scene from beginning to end, with mixed feelings.

"Hey, this hasn't changed much!"

"Okay, it means that the potion really works wonders!"

"It's just, you didn't hear it was a test potion."

"Maybe if you keep going, you'll be able to change back to your original self."

……

Zhang Chen ignored the exchange of words from a few guys, and ordered Jiang Hua to take a bottle of recovery potion and feed it to Wang Qiang, who recovered in a short time.

"Hey, hey, my face has changed, my eyes have really recovered! Thank you, Commander. After Wang Qiang saw his changes, he laughed strangely.

I still didn't have pupils before, and I looked scary when I looked at it, but now my eyes are bright and flashing, and my eyebrows have grown, which is much more pleasing to the eye.

Even if it is still far from being restored, hope is good. The fact that his personal experience confirmed it gave him the goal and motivation to strive for.

Zhang Chen got up and looked at this grinning xenomorph, and his expression became serious: "It shows that my guess is correct, you must insist on eating wild beasts to obtain antibody substances." Then it will be more effective when combined with magic potions. You must remember not to make mistakes, otherwise there is really no way back. ”

"Yes, yes, Commander, we know this! Be sure to take your words to heart. Wang Qiang, Liu Mang and others shuddered, and even claimed that it was.

One is that he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to change back to his original appearance, and the other is that he doesn't want to be killed. A base capable of containing hundreds of xenomorphs is enough to show that it is powerful. The xenomorph re-humanization also leads to heaven with the means to confirm this leader.

Zhang Chen's envy and application of the furnace was perfect, and after the warning, it was a sweet date: "It's good to know, I will always contact the mysterious businessman, as long as you make great contributions." No matter how expensive the magic potion is, I'll get it for you. Thanks to your efforts, you can hand out potions and get rid of this appearance sooner. ”

"Commander, at this time, Chief Mu sent me here, and there is a major situation to inform." Liu Hengyu put on a new windbreaker and stepped forward and said solemnly.

"Say!" Zhang Chen's smile retracted and motioned for the other party to continue.

Liu Hengyu's expression became serious, and the more he said later, there was some worry on his face: "There are more and more xenomorphs who are willing to change, although the breeding is initially on the right track, but the beast meat is in short supply, and the heart containing energy is even more stretched." Fortunately, the xenomorphs are strong at this stage and there will be no problems. But in the long run, if we advance slowly, there will be disaster. ”

"That's a problem!" Zhang Chen thought that the strength of the evolutionary would become stronger and stronger, and the latecomer would prevail, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and quickly responded to it.

"The fifth order is a bottleneck, and qi and blood need to be precipitated and accumulated before it can break through to the sixth order. Don't worry if you're stuck at the peak of the fifth order, just let it be. Of course, if you are lucky enough to meet the opportunity, you will be able to break through faster. ”

Jiang Hua was stunned when he heard Zhang Chen's words, and he didn't think of his strength until this time. After feeling it carefully, I found that there was a blood-colored power surging in my body. He directly broke through from the original fourth-order peak to the sixth-order.

The whole body is full of warmth, as if a punch can burst the void, as if the captain of the Shadow Clan** is also stuck in the bottleneck and has not broken through. Thinking of his latecomers surpassing him, he can't help but feel a burst of joy.

However, he was full of gratitude to Zhang Chen when he thought that his own leader had stuffed some beads into his mouth, which had made such a big change now.

"By the way, Captain Jiang, hey, Captain Jiang, Captain Jiang......" Zhang Chen turned to look at Jiang Hua after speaking. Seeing that the other party's eyes were wandering in the sky, he waved his hand in front of his eyes and shouted several times in a row without responding and pushed him.

"Your subordinates are here, Commander!" Jiang Hua hurriedly came back to his senses and stood upright.

Zhang Chen didn't care about the other party's absent-mindedness, pointed at Liu Hengyu and said, "Well, you are responsible for taking Captain Liu to **." Allocate a thousand Wild Beast Hearts to them, and bring back a hundred third- and fourth-order porcupinal pigs. ”

"Yes, understood!" Jiang Hua responded with his head held high.

"Thank you, thank you, Commander." Liu Hengyu was overjoyed! This time, I didn't want to get the heart of the beast, but I didn't expect there to be so many allocations. More than 100 porcupines of more than 1,000 catties are enough to support a period of time.

"Captain Liu, this kind of treatment is only a symptom but not a root cause, you should think of a way." Zhang Chen saw the joy in the other party's heart, and his expression was serious again.

A look of helplessness flashed on Liu Hengyu's pale face: "Commander, you don't know, we have thought about it, there are not many wild beasts captured in the city, even if they go to the forest to capture the number." If it weren't for the support you handed over to Leader Mu, it would have been even more difficult. ”

"If you don't have it on land, why don't you go to the beach?" Zhang Chen glanced at him obliquely. I feel that the other party occupies a treasure trove but does not know how to excavate and develop. There are endless sea beasts in the vast ocean, and they can also be eaten. Maybe the feral creatures of the ocean will have a stronger effect.

"By the sea?" Liu Hengyu muttered to himself, then shuddered and hurriedly said, "Commander, the next thing is related to the sea area." ”

Zhang Chen didn't speak, but listened quietly.

After Liu Hengyu pondered for a moment, he said a very shocking news: "We once accidentally discovered that there are many more zombie evolution and mutated zombies near the seashore tomorrow. Later, I actually witnessed many evolutionary zombies crawling out of the sea until they entered the Demon Capital City. Among them, there are even fifth-order peak zombies, which are mighty like an army. ”

"What? Is there such a thing? Zhang Chen looked startled, and couldn't help but increase his tone, I really didn't know that such a strange thing would happen.

Even if we knew that many zombies had arrived across the ocean, it would be a year or two later. Even the vast majority of them will be eaten by mutated monsters in the sea.

"Yes, this group of zombies is difficult to control, and even our squad has been counterattacked. Fortunately, the leader of Mu Tian led the army to arrive and strangled these zombies. Liu Hengyu said as he took out several wooden boxes from the space ring.

Jiang Hua hurriedly opened it without commanding, and it was either evolutionary energy or zombie crystal nuclei, especially crystal nuclei, which were large in number and high in quality, at least above the third order, the fourth order accounted for the majority, and there were more than ten in the fifth order.

There are more than two hundred black crystal nuclei, which means that more than 100 mutant zombies are hanging. Especially the dozen or so fifth-order crystal nuclei, circles of black light shone brightly.

The quality is excellent, it can be called the best!

"Commander, this is mostly the result of our day's battle, all the zombies that crawled out of the sea were killed, the leader of Mutian asked me to bring things back, and report the situation, and specially explained that the matter was not normal." Liu Hengyu frowned as he spoke, and a solemn look appeared on his face.

Uncontrolled zombies still dare to attack them, which is bad news.

"I see." Zhang Chen listened quietly without speaking, looked at the large number of crystal nuclei in the box, and thought about the legend of the Demon Capital in the previous life. After carefully scrutinizing for a long time, his thoughts gradually became clearer and he sighed.

"Commander, what's going on here?" Liu Hengyu asked puzzled. Even Jiang Hua and Wang Qiang next to him didn't dare to speak, and listened quietly.

"It's complicated to explain! According to my inference, it is probably ...... like this," Zhang Chen rubbed his chin and put away a few boxes and said seriously. Talk based on what you have seen and understood with your own eyes.

Jiang Hua, Liu Hengyu and others next to them were puzzled, and their inquiries would also be answered. Zhang Chen talked about the habits of zombies, and the characteristics made these guys sigh and praise.

Unexpectedly, there are people who know zombies better than them!

Zombies are mutated monsters that are not dead creatures, do not need to breathe, and can also survive in the sea. Although the craving for human blood is crazy, and it swells with the breath of the living, the attraction of mutant beasts is also great.

Just like the zombies besieging mutant beasts seen in Wujia Village and Yelong Machinery Company in Xicheng, the mad beast is attracted by the evolutionary energy in its body.

The magic capital is located on the seaside, and many zombies are attracted by a large number of crazy and mutated sea beasts in the sea, and they are crazy to devour the sea beasts to evolve and mutate. Eat the small fish first, then the big fish, and even the giant sea beasts.

Of course, there are many zombies that are also eaten, but the ones that survive quickly evolve and become stronger.

This is the scene where a large number of evolutionary zombies climb ashore from the sea. And it's possible that there were quite a few of them before, and the huge scratches on the beach were either left by evolutionary zombies or the footprints of giant sea beasts.

This also explains the reason why there are so many evolved zombies in the Demon Capital. Even the zombie king led an army of evolved zombies.

The reason why xenos are difficult to control is because of the high level of zombies, and secondly, it is estimated that there is a powerful zombie at the bottom of the sea, so that these zombies dare not surrender.

Maybe it's a super zombie, or maybe it's a zombie king!

Compared to the alien creatures, the order of the zombie king is supreme!

All of this is just Zhang Chen's summary and inference based on what he knows. Although it has not been confirmed with certainty, this credibility is extremely high.

The reason why the magic capital is called the dead city is because there are too many mutated monsters. It's not just evolved zombies, but also terrifying sea beasts.

There may be a large number of mutated sea beasts pouring ashore, most of which has something to do with this. It was because the zombies devoured a large number of sea beasts and attracted the revenge of the sea beasts.

The survivors who were trying to survive in the slits were unjustifiably affected! After all, those sea beasts with insufficient intelligence are not humans, whether they are hateful zombies.

Zhang Chen finished his point of view in one breath, and everyone present was a little stunned. They had thought about marine life, but they had never thought so carefully.

"Commander, could it be floating from somewhere else?" Jiang Hua asked curiously.

"It's not very likely, it takes time, and it's only been a little over a month since the end of the world broke out. Zombies from other countries beyond the borders will not spread prematurely. According to the information he knew, Zhang Chen decisively shook his head in denial.

He looked at the open sea on the map again, and looked at Liu Hengyu with Cheng Zhu in his chest: "My inference is like this, and you still need to confirm it personally." In addition, as long as you know that zombies can quickly become stronger by devouring sea beasts in the sea, you and the zombies you control can do the same. Since the stronger the zombies are and the more difficult to control, try to cultivate as little as possible and choose the elite route.

"Oh, Commander, you mean to let us capture a large number of mutant beasts in the sea?" When it came to this, Liu Hongyu suddenly realized.

"Madness, mutated sea beasts also have an effect, maybe you will recover faster. In addition, there will be a lot of giant ships on the seaside, so collect as much as you can. Zhang Chen patted him on the shoulder and commanded softly.

"Yes, Commander, I will bring what you say." Liu Hengyu was ambitious, thinking that there were countless mutated sea beasts in the boundless ocean, and taking advantage of the current strength to capture, the chance of returning to his original appearance was even greater.

"Well, is there anything else?" Zhang Chen asked with a smile.

"Leader Mutian still has something to say, that is, the team has recently ......been in a big mountain," Liu Hengyu hurriedly patted his head and reported in a low voice.

Zhang Chen's face couldn't help but show joy, and he felt that the secret layout was right. The magic capital is an international metropolis, and it has a huge amount of all kinds of materials. There are even a lot of medicines and so on on the freighters adrift at several docks.

"Captain Liu, when you go back, tell Mu Tian to pay as much attention as possible to the seaside and hunt zombies. lest there are too many uncontrolled zombies and pose a threat to you......"

After receiving a detailed report on the situation, Zhang Chen decisively issued various instructions. Hunt zombies to obtain crystal nuclei and collect various raw materials. To do this, hand over a batch of crystal bottles and utensils purchased from the mysterious merchant.

In addition, they were repeatedly ordered to collect evolutionary energy.

Let them try not to hunt zombies, but also control digging out their chests. This method will not kill zombies, but will only reduce the chance of mutation. After the next two stages, you can hunt again to obtain crystal nuclei.

……

After a series of instructions, Zhang Chen picked up the notebook and asked them how they felt after taking the magic medicine, and recorded them clearly. Don't miss any clues, and try to perfect the magic potion as much as possible.

After summarizing the whole process, he added the basis and insights of his own practice, perhaps adding the essence blood of powerful demonic beasts when refining would have a better effect.

Eventually, he summoned a pocket watch to input the recorded information into it one by one. Try to let the mysterious merchant on the other side know the effects of the potion.

This scene made Jiang Hua, Liu Hengyu and others have mixed feelings.

Death for a confidant!

A certain belief was born in their hearts!
