Chapter Seventy-Three: News from Dr. Max
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon of the next day when we arrived at New Sunset City.
The road was not smooth, in addition to the rest time, as well as the occasional roadblocks, road damage and other problems, there are also sudden zombie attacks from time to time.
Along the way, there were more than a dozen large and small battles, encountering three high-level mutants and dozens of primary mutants, and the battle was not difficult, but it greatly increased the time they spent on the road.
The car slowly drove into the new sunset market against the orange sunset, and the speed was not fast, and it did not attract the zombies wandering sporadically on the road.
Along the way, everyone looked at the dilapidated and desolate scene of the city, and their hearts were quite touched.
"Still haven't heard any response?" Zhou Ming observed the shops on both sides of the street and suddenly asked.
"Nope." Qin Wumeng beside him was constantly debugging a box-like machine placed on his lap.
"I've been sending broadcasts on all channels, and Dr. Max shouldn't be unresponsive if he had the signal receiving equipment in New Sunset City."
Along the way, Qin Wumeng showed a surprising level of skill, using some electronic parts scavenged along the way to assemble a signal generator, and conducted an all-channel broadcast to find Dr. Max.
Such an act is a bit risky, and it may attract the attention of people with ulterior motives, after all, it is not only natural disasters that are dangerous in the last days, but also people's hearts.
But they don't have a better way at the moment, and they're willing to try any way.
"Maybe it's because the airtime is so short that Dr. Max hasn't noticed it yet." Zhou Ming comforted.
"Let's find a place to rest first, the night is not conducive to our actions, the broadcast continues, maybe we can get a response tonight."
"If there's no response tomorrow, we'll make a big move."
It is clear to everyone (except that Xiang Zenan may except) that the greatest limitation is that there is no time limit for the tasks issued by the Lord God, because it means that there are more hidden conditions that force them to complete the task in as short a time as possible.
For example, Dr. Max had an accident before they could find him, causing the mission to fail.
Therefore, everyone in the team (except for Xiang Zenan) hopes to find Dr. Max in the shortest possible time, because in the process of their search, all kinds of accidents may occur.
"There is a hotel in front, it looks like the grade is not low, do you want to go over and have a look?" Congratulatory in the front row asked.
Several people had no opinion, and the car drove that way.
A few minutes later, five people checked into the hotel (zero yuan check-in).
The sky grew dark until the sun sank to the horizon, but the world was not completely dark, the moon was sparse, and the cold light was shining on the earth.
"The same Earth-Moon system, the same 24-hour alternation of day and night, species, civilization, language, and writing are almost exactly the same as the Earth, almost like a gift from the Creator."
Standing in front of the window, looking at the quiet city that fell into darkness, and the bright galaxy above the city, Qin Wumeng's voice was cold and melodious.
Also in the living room, the whale shark, who was sitting on the sofa and cultivating electric current propulsion, looked up at her in a little surprise when she heard this.
"You haven't even spoken a few words for the past two days, and you don't look like a sentimental person, let alone a foolish person who will pray to God."
"Does Mr. Whale Shark think it's stupid to pray to God?" Qin Wumeng turned around and asked calmly.
The whale shark's tone was sonorous and cold: "There has never been a savior, and there has never been an immortal emperor, who entrusts his heart to the gods, how can he be the strongest in the world, how to go...... Beyond the gods! ”
"There may be gods in this world, but they are never worthy of my worship, even the Lord God, because I always believe that I will one day be stronger than them."
"Even if their power you can't comprehend, imagine, or speculate?" Qin Wumeng's voice was a little puzzled, as if he couldn't understand the whale shark's thoughts.
"Unthinkable?" The whale shark chuckled, "Didn't you notice a problem?" ”
"What?"
"As you said, the power of the Lord God is unpredictable, penetrating all worlds, creating things out of thin air, playing with time and space, and giving birth to and destroying all things."
"Then, the heavens and all the worlds are endless time and space, hundreds of millions of races and infinite beings, and they are better than us human beings, I'm afraid that even if the sky is not full of stars, it is also a carp crossing the river."
"Why are all the earthlings you see in the main god space?"
"Maybe we come from different Earths, parallel time and space, different time periods, heterotopic isotopes of the Earth, but in the end, we are all human beings, and we are all from Earth."
"Why doesn't the Lord God choose a stronger race, a more powerful existence, and prefer humans?"
"Why?" Qin Wumeng followed the whale shark's words and muttered softly.
"I don't know, but there's always a reason, and I'll find that one eventually." The whale shark's tone was unwavering, confident to the point of pride.
"But what does this have to do with what we just talked about?" Qin Wumeng was puzzled.
"You don't understand?" The corners of the whale shark's mouth hooked up an insolent smile: "No matter what the reason, it shows one thing, that is, we earth humans definitely have a unique and irreplaceable hidden talent. ”
"I firmly believe in that, and I believe that I can tap into that hidden potential, and I, after all, will stand above the stars, looking down on everything I ever needed to look up to!"
Is this the unique brain circuit of the magnetic field madman?
Qin Wumeng was not only amazed by the whale shark's unusual thoughts, but also infected by the whale shark's unusually firm belief, and his heart gradually surged.
At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly sounded.
The eyes of the two shifted instantly, staring in the direction from which the voice came.
It was the device that Qin Wumeng had assembled on the table.
Gong He, who was meditating cross-legged, and Xiang Zenan, who had just fallen asleep, also opened their eyes at the same time, and the hearts of the four of them instantly became tense.
With a rustling sound, a calm male voice sounded from it.
"Snort...... I'm Michael Joe Max, who are you? Why are you looking for me? ”
"Dr. Max!" Gong Congratulations almost jumped in surprise, "Finally found you!" ”
"What about Zhou Ming?"
"He said he was out for a while."
"Quick, get him back!"
……
On the silent street, a figure slowly walked forward, and one figure after another behind him was heavy, jumping and jumping, neatly aligned, at least hundreds.
Walking through the shadows cast by a building, the moonlight shone again on the face of the figure in front, revealing a delicate and young face.
It was Zhou Ming.
Behind him, naturally, there were groups of white zombies, all of whom were recruited by Zhou Ming from this city tonight.
Although the sound of the zombies jumping is very small, the hundreds of zombies still produce some movements, constantly attracting nearby zombies.
Then, they were shot by the black light of the Refining Zombie Gu that flew out from time to time in Zhou Ming's hand, and joined the increasingly large zombie team behind Zhou Ming.
"Time waits for no one." Zhou Ming sighed while repeating the work at hand.
The population of New Sunset City is nearly one million, and the outbreak of the zombie crisis has turned nearly seventy percent of the population into zombies.
Nowadays, there is a question mark over whether there are 200,000 zombies in this city.
Of course, 200,000 is still not a small number, and it is impossible for Zhou Ming to refine 200,000 zombies, so time does not allow it.
Fortunately, he doesn't need much cannon fodder.
If Dr. Max can't be found tomorrow, Zhou Ming can only think of other methods, including some more drastic methods.
It only takes a few thousand zombies to set off a large riot in the city, and if it is well operated, it can even attract zombies in half the city, and it can be ......
At this moment, the communicator hanging on Zhou Ming's ears rang.
This small machine like a Bluetooth headset is also provided by Qin Wumeng, with a maximum communication range of 50 kilometers and an effective communication range of 30 kilometers.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Ming connected the call.
"We've got in touch with Dr. Max!" Xiang Zenan's excited shouts were immediately heard inside.
The sudden news lifted Zhou Ming's spirits and said, "I'll go back immediately!" ”
"It's really smooth......" Hanging up the communication, Zhou Ming exhaled lightly.
Turning around to look at the dense zombies behind him, Zhou Ming raised his hand and waved it gently, and the zombies scattered and jumped towards the buildings on both sides.
"It's just going too well." Zhou Ming's eyes flashed, and instead of feeling relaxed, his heart added a bit of heaviness.
Sometimes, things go too well and not necessarily well.
Because this often means that there is an invisible pit waiting ahead, and the possibility of falling into the pit is much greater if you are paralyzed and carelessly let your guard down.
Commanding all the zombie brothers to hide, Zhou Ming was about to go back, when suddenly his ears moved, and his footsteps stopped.
"Hehe, that's really...... The big one is coming! ”
Accompanied by Zhou Ming's laughter, a huge figure fell from the sky, carrying a huge kinetic energy like a meteor falling, and under the action of gravitational acceleration, it smashed into the place where Zhou Ming was standing.
Thundered......
The solid asphalt pavement was violent, and huge cracks spread in all directions in the shape of cobwebs, and the loud sound shattered some of the glass that was still intact on the buildings on both sides of the street.
Gravel flew everywhere with the sound of breaking wind, broken glass reflected in the moonlight, roar still echoed in the ears, and smoke and dust billowed to obscure half of the street.
A large pit appeared in the ground, and a five-meter-tall giant stood up from the pit and let out a roar of decibel excess.
It was a gray-white granite-like monster, sleek from head to tail without a single hair, with strong limbs and hideous muscles, full of violent evil and wildness.
Compared with those strange mutants, this monster's body can be regarded as normal, there is no extraordinarily abnormal distortion, and some are just extremely terrifying body strength.
The power is enough to tear through a tank, the speed is comparable to that of a sports car, and the strength of the body is enough to block bullets!
"It's violent."
Zhou Ming stood on a half-collapsed balcony on the third floor of the building next to the street, condescendingly, and pulled out the Edelman alloy knife, the blade reflecting the moonlight in the sky, cold and quiet.
