The words of the commander of the southeast base, together with the combat exploits achieved by the experimental army, spread all over China, and everyone was amazed by the combat effectiveness of this army.

Relying on their exploits, the test subjects paid off their previous contributions, and those who performed well were awarded the rank of major.

Many of the weaker bases sent telegrams, hoping that the test subject army could help them clean up the zombies, and all the consumption of the test subjects along the way was provided by them.

Lu Fei pointed to one of the telegrams, and said happily: "This base chief surnamed He said before that the experimental subject is not of great use, and it is a great waste to invest so much manpower and material resources on the experimental subject, but now, I don't want us to help in the past." ”

Yao Rong said: "You actually remember. ”

Isn't this memory very good, why do you never have to study?

Lu Fei hummed.

He's holding a grudge.

Not only did he remember that this Captain He had mocked the test subject, but he also remembered that the expenses of the research institute were borne by all the bases, but this Captain He was very stingy, pinching his nose at first and giving three taels of crooked melons and cracked dates, and then he simply pretended to forget about this matter, and had not sent supplies to the research institute for a long time.

"Wherever you go to kill zombies, you will kill, and our army will definitely give priority to helping those bases that are not outstanding, but have been silently supporting the research institute."

Yao Rong smiled: "That's the truth." ”

He asked them how long they would be resting at the institute.

Talking about business, Lu Fei immediately put down Erlang's legs: "Rest for a month, let them reunite with their families for a while, and then set off." ”

Yao Rong said: "The 60 version of the gene stabilizer has been developed, and they can be injected at any time. How far they can recover this time is basically what level it is. Later, I will shift my focus to other topics, so that the subject will not be staring at it all the time. ”

After all, the genetic mutation is irreversible, and all she can do is alleviate their pain and make their situation as stable as possible.

Lu Fei nodded, indicating that he understood.

He didn't want to talk about this heavy topic, so he talked to Yao Rong about the test subject's house and asked Yao Rong what he planned to study next.

Yao Rong replied: "I have communicated with them, and the next main direction of attack is zombie vaccines." ”

In the past few years, major research institutes have been researching zombie vaccines and exchanging opinions with each other from time to time.

It's a pity that until now, zombie vaccines have been just a concept.

But there is no doubt that if the zombie vaccine can really be developed, it will definitely have cross-era significance.

It is normal for Yao Rong to choose this topic as a new research direction.

At the end of the month, Lu Fei led his teammates and set off on a mission again.

And Yao Rong also threw herself into her experiments.

In the eighth year of the last days, Fang Weijue fell seriously ill, and the burden of the southwest base gradually fell on Fang Shaoyuan's head.

In the ninth year of the last days, Fang Weijue retired, and Fang Shaoyuan officially became the new base chief.

Lu Fei also relied on the accumulation of outstanding military exploits to successfully cross the threshold from the colonel level to the general level and became the youngest major general in the southwest base.

Many bases have also seen a trend of replacing the old with the new.

The leaders of the older generation survived the most devastated moments of the last days, leaving a base that was gradually recovering into the hands of their cultivated successors.

But there are also some bases where the transfer of power is not so peaceful.

The Azure Base, which is at odds with the Southwest Base, is one of them.

The wife of the head of the Azure base gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and he had several illegitimate children outside, and when he was lingering on the sickbed, these children of his fought to the death, but in the end, no one succeeded in taking the position, but the deputy base chief received the unanimous support of the people and took over the power.

As soon as the new base director took office, he brushed the children of the original base director to the end, and then threw an olive branch to the southwest base, hoping to repair the relationship with the southwest base.

Fang Shaoyuan just didn't like the original base leader, and he didn't have any ill feelings towards the new base leader and the Azure base, so he naturally accepted the other party's overtures.

In the tenth year of the apocalypse, Yao Rong and her team finally succeeded in breaking through the crucial step of the zombie vaccine.

After clinical testing on animals, clinical testing on humans also needs to be carried out.

It's just that the vaccine carries a very small amount of zombie virus, and as long as it is a test drug, there will be a certain risk, so it is not easy to find candidates for clinical testing.

However, Yao Rong already had the most suitable candidate in his heart.

She left Xiao Bai to breathe for a long time, just to use him at such a time.

After nearly four years, Yao Rong and Xiao Bai met again.

It's just that Xiao Bai at this time is shrinking in the corner of the cell, haggard, emaciated, and crazy, and he no longer has half of his original demeanor.

The effects of the potion on him were so terrible that he could no longer concentrate, could no longer concentrate, could no longer concentrate, and his memory continued to fade, and he was in a state of confusion all day long.

It is a terrible and desperate thing for a person who thinks highly of himself to be deprived of the talents that he is proud of for his life.

The sudden white banner lamp was very dazzling, Xiao Bai subconsciously raised his hand and blocked his eyes with the back of his hand.

Only when his eyes adjusted to the light did he slowly remove his arms and look up at the man standing outside the cell.

His mind did become very sluggish, and it took a while for him to recognize Yao Rong, who had basically not changed.

"Let me die."

This was the first thing Xiao Bai said to Yao Rong.

He is a conceited person who calculates the world, even if he falls to the bottom, he doesn't bother to steal his life, but even life and death are in the hands of others.

Yao Rong looked down at Xiao Bai and asked, "Why should I satisfy you." ”

"For my past exploits."

"Your past exploits have earned you fame and fortune in the first half of your life."

Xiao Bai was silent for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, what do you want to do when you come to see me?" ”

Yao Rong turned sideways slightly, carried the box carried by the assistant, and took out the vaccine from it: "I'm looking for you to try a medicine." ”

Xiao Bai frowned and stared at the vaccine: "What kind of medicine is this?" ”

"Zombie vaccines."

Xiao Bai was silent again.

She actually developed this thing.

When he was still the director of the Central Research Institute, the director of the Central Base asked him to study this vaccine many times, but unfortunately, he failed to overcome it after countless attempts.

"You want me to taste your son's pain, don't you?" Xiao Bai vaguely guessed her purpose.

Yao Rong asked Xiao Bai to be dragged out of the cell and restrained on the experimental table.

She bent down slightly, and personally injected the slightly cold vaccine that had just been taken out of the freezer into Xiao Bai's body: "You guessed right. ”

Xiao Bai didn't struggle, and he couldn't struggle: "Using the human body for experiments, taking the opportunity to announce personal vendettas, Dr. Yao, how are you better than me?" ”

Yao Rong pulled out the needle and shook frankly.

"First, you have been deprived of basic human rights by the law, and it makes sense to use you, a heinous condemned prisoner, to test the medicine, both morally and legally."

"Second, I took the opportunity to announce my personal vendetta, what can you do?"

She worked so hard to eradicate the Ninth Research Institute and expose Xiao Bai's true face, did she really think that she was completely out of justice?

No kidding.

If Lu Fei hadn't been involved in the Ninth Research Institute, she would still have reminded the base leaders to pay attention to Xiao Bai and the Ninth Research Institute, but that's all.

The matter of eradicating the evil forces is, of course, left to the leaders of the base to worry about, so why should she, a scientific researcher, participate in everything.

But Lu Fei was a victim of the Ninth Research Institute, so the starting point for all this was to vent his anger.

This starting point is not at all just, not great at all.

It is out of a mother's selfishness.

However, the data obtained from Xiao Bai is not perfect, and this concentration of vaccine is still a little higher for humans.

That afternoon, Yao Rong was busy with the work at hand, when Fang Shaoyuan's secretary knocked on the door and walked in, asking her to meet Fang Shaoyuan.

It was only when she arrived at the conference room that she found that the other leaders of the southwest base were there, and the atmosphere in the room was very solemn.

Looks like something big is wrong.

Yao Rong pursed his lips, found his place and sat down, also remaining silent.

After waiting for a while, Fang Shaoyuan spoke: "Since everyone is here, let's start today's meeting." ”

Since the beginning of the year, the struggle between humans and zombies has fallen into a kind of anxiety.

Lu Fei still led the army of experimental subjects through the zombie cities, but found that the number of zombies in these cities had decreased.

At first, they were happy, but when they noticed that there were zombies moving on a large scale, they were keenly aware that something was wrong.

Zombies don't move on a large scale.

They tend to work their own way.

Unless they receive a unified order from the Zombie Emperor.

"After receiving the news from Major General Lu Fei, I immediately sent someone to invite you over."

Fang Shaoyuan's expression was extremely solemn: "Since the Zombie Emperor besieging the Dawn Base was killed by Major General Lu Fei, the major bases have never encountered the Zombie Emperor again. This is of course a happy thing, but according to the law of zombie evolution, the number of zombie emperors should be more and more. ”

"In the past few years, there has been no Zombie Emperor, which does not mean that there has not been a Zombie Emperor in the zombie group, but it is very likely that they are consciously avoiding the human base."

"A fully evolved Zombie Emperor may even have an IQ not lower than that of a human. So I have reason to suspect that these zombie emperors cooperated. This mass movement of zombies may not be unique. ”

Within two days, Lu Fei came back with new news.

Indeed, as Fang Shaoyuan guessed, Lu Fei and they found traces of large-scale movement left by zombies in several cities.

It's just that the final destination of these zombies has not yet been discovered.

"Notify all bases."

Yao Rong made a pessimistic but very likely prediction.

"The first Armageddon between humans and zombies may be about to begin."

After receiving the news, all the bases immediately sent a large number of teams of Adepts to investigate.

But before these teams could find out the clues, they first waited for the news that the five zombie emperors led hundreds of thousands of zombies to besiege the Hope Base.

It only lasted less than two days, and it was hoped that the base would be in danger on all fronts.

One army after another threw themselves into the fight against the zombie tide, like a mantis arm as a car, a mayfly shaking a tree, and finally being swallowed up in the zombie tide that covered the sky and the sun.

Ensign, Lieutenant......

Major, Lieutenant Colonel......

And then to the general-level officer.

Finally, it is hoped that the base commander will come to the front line to command and die heroically.

The underground defenses inside the base were destroyed by zombie earthworms.

The bomb shelters used to evacuate ordinary people are precarious and could collapse at any time.

And the collapse of just one bomb shelter means the death of thousands, if not nearly 10,000 people.

In the bomb shelter, everyone did not dare to make a sound, and the crying babies were also covered by their crying parents, but the zombies still sensed their presence and frantically hit the bomb shelter, causing dust to splash.

The army responsible for guarding the bomb shelters constantly sent out signals for help.

None of the signals could be responded to by the base headquarters.

The base headquarters had fallen before them.

Under another impact, the bomb shelter was finally breached.

Smelling the breath of so many living people, the zombie attack became more and more fierce.

The cracks in the bomb shelter gradually widened, and when the people hiding in the bomb shelter looked up, they could see the huge body of the zombie earthworm constantly wriggling.

"What to do ......"

A young soldier clenched his weapon tightly, even knowing that it was futile in his end.

The people around him couldn't give him answers.

In the face of such a disaster, the power of the individual always seems extraordinarily small.

But—

In the end, it was only one person who stood in front of all of them.

A girl with elk antlers, wearing a blue military uniform at the Southwest Base, and covered in dust.

The same scene was playing out in the large and small air-raid shelters of the Hope Base.

Outside the air-raid shelter, the five zombie emperors were blocked by Lu Fei alone.

He was standing there.

It was as if a gap between life and death had been drawn, and it had become an insurmountable line for the five Zombie Emperors.

He was standing there.

It's like standing in everyone's hearts.

Throughout the night, the roar of the zombies never stopped, but the cries of humans finally stopped.

Countless people raised their heads and stared at the young backs.

When Base Hope's defenses collapsed completely, they became the last line of defense for Base Hope.

Alien, heterogeneous, high-risk...... Does it all matter?

Yes, it's not at all important anymore.

Just as Lu Fei promised to all the people on the radio, he and his teammates have always stood on the front line against the zombies, standing in front of all the people, fighting bloodily, not retreating a single step, until the zombies are completely repulsed, or they die.

They bought the most critical time for the people of the Hope Base.

Reinforcements finally arrived, and while transferring the surviving people, they cooperated with Lu Fei and sounded the horn of a counteroffensive.

In the end, the five Zombie Emperors and hundreds of thousands of zombies all remained in the land of the Hope Base.

The first Armageddon between humans and zombies ended with humans winning.

But for the sake of this victory, many people's lives are forever frozen.

Over the past few years, 331 test subjects have undergone a total of 19 military operations, large and small, without any attrition, but after this war, 96 test subjects returned to the southwest base and were buried in the deepest part of the Sunflower Sea, where they were buried on the slopes of the mountains.

Subject?

No.

No one calls them that anymore.

Rather than the name Subject, people prefer to refer to them as "New Humans".

– They are a new future for humanity.
