Chapter 743 Mutant 2

Not long after Cai Wenjie solved the mutant problem, he received official news.

"Colonel Cai Wenjie, I am Li Lian, and I was the one who asked you to take the meteorite. According to our detection, there is a special energy inside the meteorite. This energy will not have any effect on the living human body, but this energy can change the gene of the virus, causing zombies or mutant zombies to undergo special mutations.

Attention! These special mutants are very powerful. Ordinary firearms can no longer cause any harm to them. Only large-caliber anti-material sniper rifles and heavy machine guns can cause certain damage to them. So if you encounter this kind of secondary mutation, you must use heavy weapons to eliminate them as soon as possible. Please be informed..."

This news was conveyed to Cai Wenjie via email. It seems that this major named Li Lian was attacked by mutants like the Xinguang gathering place, otherwise he would not be able to understand the situation of mutants so well.

…

In a national research institute hundreds of kilometers away from the Xinguang gathering place, a group of mutants are wantonly slaughtering the staff inside the institute.

This national research institute is about the size of 20 football fields. There are 2,000 ordinary scientific researchers alone, and if other staff are included, there are almost 5,000 people.

At the same time, there are also a large number of living zombies here, and its scale is completely incomparable to the Xinguang gathering place research institute. There are all kinds of mutant zombies and mutant animals, even nuclear mutant zombies caused by nuclear pollution are collected for research.

Then, there is nothing else.

Under the influence of the meteorite, these zombies began to mutate twice and turned into troublesome mutants.

For a time, a large number of mutants broke free from their shackles and instinctively began to hunt the people in the institute. The security forces responsible for protecting the institute were not the opponents of the mutants at all. The weapons in their hands could not cause effective damage to the mutants, while these mutants could easily kill the security forces.

For a while, the entire institute became a living hell. Every moment, a large number of staff members died because of the mutants' attacks, and those who survived could only hide in the safe house and wait for rescue.

This safe house is actually a 30-square-meter room made of reinforced materials. The strength of the room is very high. Ordinary firearms can't penetrate the wall at all. Even tank guns can withstand a few rounds, so even mutants can't break through the safe house in a short time. The safe house is full of various food and medicines. If you use them sparingly, it can last at least three months. Of course, this is the case of one person.

The current safe house is already densely packed with people. Basically, you can throw a persimmon at random and hit three or five people.

Among them, Major Li Lian was also trapped here.

"Major, when will our rescue team arrive? It's so crowded."

"Alas, I haven't developed the technology for controlled nuclear fusion yet. I really don't want to die like this."

"Who said it wasn't? My aerospace battleship plan has just started. I still hope to win the Nobel Prize with this technology. It seems impossible in this life."

Listening to the sighs of others who were about to give up their beliefs, although Li Lian didn't show it on his face, he was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot. These people are the main guides for future technology. If these people give up hope, then the country will be completely finished.

"There is no need for everyone to sigh. Although the security forces here can't deal with these mutants, there is a military base 15 kilometers away from here. The soldiers there are enough to deal with these mutants. When the mutants first appeared, I had already contacted the military base over there. The reinforcements should arrive soon, and then we will be saved."

In order to boost the morale of these people, or the hope of life, Li Lian said this.

But the fact is that he has no means to contact the military base at all, and what he said just now is all false. He lied.

Although this is just a lie, it does encourage people. They no longer sigh and groan, but just stand silently waiting for rescue.

Li Lian took advantage of others' inattention and pressed a red button. As the button was pressed, a violent explosion occurred on the rooftop of the institute. Flames and smoke filled the entire rooftop, and billowing smoke rose into the sky, just like the ancient wolf smoke. The smoke should be visible at a distance of fifteen kilometers.

Li Lian sent a distress message to the military base in this way. Now it depends on how the military base responds.

It must be said that Li Lian's method is indeed good, but the reason why the military base can notice the institute is not only this. As early as half an hour ago, the person in charge of the military base discovered that they had lost contact with the security team of the institute.

In order to confirm whether there was any accident in the institute, a small team of scouts has been sent from the military base to see what happened.

But for some reason, the scouts sent out did not send any news back. Logically, even if they did not find anything unusual, they should have sent some signal at this time.

After almost an hour, the person in charge of the military base could only judge that all the scouts were killed. Since all the scouts were killed, something must have happened at the institute.

Without hesitation, the person in charge of the military base immediately sent an armored company to the institute to find the lost scout team while solving the problem.

But in fact, the scout team was not completely killed, but there were still surviving members. However, although this member still had vital signs, he was not far from death.

His current condition is very bad. There is no intact bone in his body, and all his internal organs are severely damaged. Basically, except for the heart, which is still beating, other organs are at the end of their strength. A little bit of stimulation can cause these organs to collapse directly.

As for why it has fallen to this point, it has to start from the beginning.

After receiving the order from the superior, this scout team immediately set out from the military base and walked to the institute. In fact, the nearby area had been swept away by them a long time ago. It cannot be said that there is no infected body, but at least almost 99% of the zombies have been eliminated.

Originally, there was no need to worry about being attacked by anything, but since the mutant outbreak, many mutants rushed out of the research center and came to this area. Unfortunately, their team encountered those mutants and a battle broke out.
