#354 - Chapter 354: Artificial mutant zombies! ?
Two days later.
Early morning.
The sky brightened early, before six o'clock, dispelling the darkness.
The zombies lingering around the survivor settlements within the borders of Hua began to abandon their attempts to raid those places of food, as if clocking out from work, and headed towards other buildings that could shield them from the sunlight.
No one knew where they were hiding.
Nor could anyone guess where they would emerge next.
Of course.
There were still some stubborn ones lingering outside the survivor settlements, thinking they could get a reward for working overtime.
That was impossible.
Pfft!
Outside the walls of Green Source Base, Zhang Dong skillfully controlled his long steel spear, stabbing it into the ground at a zombie who stubbornly refused to leave even after daybreak!
Right in the eye socket!
Home run!
This poor zombie, attempting to gain rewards through overtime, ultimately gained nothing and was harvested of something that might or might not be considered life by humans.
Completely at rest.
"Got it! Have someone go down later and clean it up."
Zhang Dong turned his head and called out to the other team members who were taking over the shift.
He had been transferred back from the oil base some time ago.
He was back to the rhythm of living and working with his wife and children at the main base.
Last night was another normal day of duty for the security team, and after dawn, they needed to kill and clean up the zombies who refused to leave outside the wall to facilitate the base welcoming a new day.
He was quite satisfied with his current life.
Especially after seeing the misery of those survivors outside, he cherished his current life even more.
Speaking of which, why has the weather been so hot lately?
Zhang Dong looked up at the sunlight gradually emerging in the sky, it was only a little past seven o'clock, but the sun was already so strong!
The temperature must already be close to thirty degrees!
He wiped the hot sweat that had overflowed from his head due to the exercise just now, and couldn't help complaining in his heart.
It's only May, and it's already so hot.
How will we get through June, July, and August?
Could it be that it will be much hotter?
While thinking, the team members who were taking over had already arrived, and he could finally get off work, go home to take a shower, and rest.
******
Office Building, Gym.
Qin Jin had just finished his morning exercise for the day and was in the shower room next door rinsing off.
Whirr!
Cool water slid over his granite-like muscles, until it dripped onto the floor and into the drainage ditch, entering the base's internal domestic sewage collection point.
"爽!"
Washing away the sweat and dirt, Qin Jin felt refreshed and energetic.
Sure enough, humans still feel better when they stay clean~
He couldn't imagine how he had lived those days in his previous life, only taking a few showers a year, the stench of sweat on his body so strong that it could be smelled ten meters away.
But even so.
He was still considered to be doing well.
At least he had a chance to clean himself a few times a year, and more survivors couldn't take a shower even once in a year or even several years!
It's unimaginable how thick the patina on such survivors must be...
After a while, a long-lasting drought will come.
Thanks to the heavy rain a couple of days ago.
The two ponds in the main base have now been filled with water, and the newly built reservoir in the branch base has also been filled with most of the water. Theoretically, Green Source Base will not be too short of water this summer.
Finished cleaning.
He didn't go back to the office, but went to another place.
The base laboratory.
He had just received a message from Zhou Qihang.
Lin Runwei's blood research had made progress!
This was something he was very concerned about, and of course he couldn't help but go over to find out when there was progress.
Soon.
He came to the laboratory and saw Zhou Qihang, whose hair was even more messy and his eyes were bloodshot.
"......"
"Are you going to drop dead in the next second?"
Seeing his own scientist, even Qin Jin couldn't help but complain.
Old Zhou's current appearance was a bit scary.
He looked like some perverted scientist in a movie.
No, he is indeed now....
"Boss! Don't worry about these small things! I have more important things to tell you! I've finally discovered something about the secret of Miss Lin's body!"
"A great treasure! Absolutely amazing discovery!"
Old Zhou grabbed Qin Jin's hand like a madman, leading him to a room in the laboratory.
Of course, this was Qin Jin letting him do it, otherwise, with his current strength, ordinary people would not be able to shake him at all.
After walking around a few corners, they appeared in front of a large tempered glass wall, and Zhou Qihang excitedly pointed to the things inside for the leader to see!
Seeing the scene inside, even Qin Jin, who was already prepared, couldn't help but shrink his pupils!
What's in here!?
Entering the eye, inside was a room with a considerable area, under the light, boxes placed separately were placed in the glass containers in the room.
And there were some small animals in those boxes.
These were not what surprised Qin Jin.
What surprised him most was that in a large tempered glass container in the corner, a zombie whose whole body was naked and restrained in a chair, even with a muzzle on its mouth, was shaking its body frantically!
Under his powerful vision, he could clearly see that some abnormalities had already appeared on this zombie's body!
Its whole body's muscles had gotten rid of the emaciated state of ordinary zombies, and had actually recovered some muscles, and its two ears had deviated from the normal human state, reaching a size of nearly seven or eight centimeters!
Ears that could hear the wind!?
Qin Jin immediately recognized that this zombie fixed in the chair looked very much like the mutated zombie he had seen a few times in his previous life, 'Wind Ears'!
A strange mutated zombie that could hear sounds from kilometers away!
Although its strength was a little stronger than ordinary zombies, it was not as fast as Swift or Leapers, nor did it have other bizarre and powerful abilities like Spitters or Chargers.
But it was still a headache for ordinary survivors!
Because you never know, when you think you're hiding well, a certain Wind Ear has already touched your side...
However, this zombie tied to the chair seemed to be a little distance away from the Wind Ears he had seen before.
It seems, weaker?
"Where did this mutated zombie come from?"
Although Qin Jin had a vague guess in his heart, he still opened his mouth to ask Zhou Qihang.
Because he needed a more accurate answer!
Zhou Qihang had seen the surprised look on the boss's face just now, and he was a little proud, feeling that the research results of his exploding liver overnight finally had someone to appreciate.
In addition, he himself was also in urgent need of someone to confide in, so he couldn't wait to answer Qin Jin's question.
He looked at the zombie with fanatic eyes, grinned and said:
"Boss! This zombie was randomly selected and captured from outside by the combat department yesterday! It was not a mutated zombie before!"
"It's what I separated from something in Miss Lin's blood last night, and what appeared after the injection!"
"That's what we've been looking for!!"
!!!
Sure enough!
Qin Jin had been prepared in his heart, but when he heard this answer, his heart still trembled!
Man-made mutated zombies!
