#742 - Chapter 742: Difficult to Capture
Besides Li Bowen's hunting squad, other idle combat units were also engaged in hunting and collecting mutated zombies in other locations.
This situation persisted for several days.
Level 2 zombies warranted the deployment of team leaders, while ordinary level 1 zombies could be handled by regular combat personnel.
Even Level 2 zombies, with their considerable overall strength, couldn't withstand the onslaught of firearms. Level 1 zombies, possessing only a single outstanding ability and overall strength not much greater than ordinary zombies, were dealt with as easily as chopping vegetables.
Level 1 zombies had an even weaker sense of danger, almost imperceptible. Often, they were only alerted to the presence of hunting team members when a gun was pointed at them at close range, prompting them to try and escape for their lives.
But it was too late.
In just a few days, most of the mutated zombie location information provided by those trading branches had been visited!
Many of the targets were already gone, their lairs empty.
The mutated zombie remains collected back at the base numbered over thirty!
Eleven of them were Level 2 zombies!
Twenty-five were Level 1 zombies!
And there were even six 'living' Level 1 mutated zombies!
"President Qin, after these few days of hunting, we've found that Level 2 zombies are extremely difficult to capture! These monsters are just too vigilant. Often, when we try to capture them, they'll struggle violently or try to escape, even if we break their arms and legs! It's still difficult to capture them!"
"Only Level 1 zombies are not very vigilant and can be captured with specially customized nets."
Inside the leader's office, Zhong Yu explained dejectedly to Qin Jin, who was sitting in the boss's chair.
He had participated in the hunting of mutated zombies during this time, so he had become quite familiar with the habits and conditions of those monsters.
As he said, those monsters were indeed extremely difficult to capture.
Mainly because they possessed varying degrees of sensitivity to danger. Whenever Green Source combat team members prepared to attack or launch a capture net, those monsters would begin to dodge and flee.
Only in very rare cases, such as when there was a terrain advantage, was there a chance to catch them.
"Also, we've confirmed that those of us injected with D-serum do have a special attraction to those mutated zombies!"
Zhong Yu revealed another startling discovery!
The few team leaders who had evolved after being injected with D-serum had noticed during the recent hunting of mutated zombies that they invariably caused those monsters to become agitated!
Completely ignoring the other Green Source members, they focused solely on these few team leaders.
At first, they weren't sure, but they reported the matter to Qin Jin. After receiving the leader's instructions to continue hunting, they finally completely confirmed this startling discovery yesterday!
"It doesn't matter. It's possible that because D-serum originally extracted certain substances from mutated zombies, it has a special attraction to those monsters. I've already asked the laboratory to conduct targeted research in this area to see if we can find a solution."
Qin Jin was much more open-minded about this.
Humans who evolved after being injected with D-serum would become targets of mutated zombies, but from another perspective, it could also attract them out.
If this situation was used well, it might be a good ability.
At the same time, he also somewhat guessed the reason for this problem.
It was highly likely that D-serum was originally created using the D-protein in Lin Runwei's blood, and that certain pheromone that inexplicably attracted zombies was also carried into the D-serum.
Consider it another side effect of D-serum.
Fortunately, the base's team leaders didn't rely on their bodies to directly confront mutated zombies. They could let those monsters direct their hatred toward the team leaders and then use thermal weapons to eliminate them.
There were also several team leaders who remained at the base in the office.
Except for Zhang Tiankai, who had run back to the Zhushi oil base to hold down the fort, the other team leaders were temporarily staying at the base to rest.
They had all completed the injection of the first D-serum, and each of them had gained an amazing increase in strength.
Among them, Zhong Yu had completed the second injection in the past two days, and his strength had soared again!
At this time, don't look at the group of men in the office who look ordinary, but any one of them placed outside could take on ten people empty-handed!
Not to mention Qin Jin, a monster who could withstand a hundred!
After chatting with the team leaders, understanding their respective evolution experiences, and giving them some answers, he let them leave after there was nothing else to do.
The external trading branches were still occasionally obtaining new mutated zombie location information, and Level 2 zombies would be handled by team leaders leading the team.
Ordinary Level 1 elite monsters could be handled by squad leader-level members.
The collection of supplies and management of the territory still needed to continue.
Alone in the office, Qin Jin looked at the scenery outside the window.
Unknowingly, the time was almost coming to mid-to-late November.
If he remembered correctly, there would be a corpse fog day around the last day or two of November!
This terrible disaster that would occasionally occur every year in the apocalypse would trigger zombie riots and a surge in strength.
But.
Green Source at this time was not afraid of them!
Now the entire Mentang Town had been transformed by Green Source into an iron barrel, and the usual scale of the zombie tide was not enough to see.
After all, the last three million-level zombie tide was mainly caused by Miss Lin, whom Qin Jin both loved and hated.
During this period, he ordered the people in the laboratory to strictly monitor and check Lin Runwei.
Confirming that she showed no signs of falling unconscious.
In this way, even if it was just an ordinary corpse fog day, even if there were millions of zombies, they would not be afraid!
The life belt has now been excavated to more than ten meters deep and wide!
This degree of life belt can completely accommodate nearly a million zombies!
And with the efforts of the development department, some sound-emitting devices and oil-spraying pipes were installed on the side of the life belt close to the base.
After operating inside the base, it can directly emit sound and spray fuel to burn the zombies that fall into the life belt!
No need to constantly fly drones back and forth to spray like before, which is so troublesome.
There are also many kinds of effective small techniques that have been re-arranged.
Not to mention Qin Jin, even the personnel in the entire Green Source base are full of confidence in their homes!
Mere zombies, one dies for every one that comes.
Recently, what is also worth mentioning is the matter about Qin Jin and Zhao Ling.
In some public occasions, the two did not hide their relationship as lovers, which led to the Green Source cadres knowing that their leader had finally escaped from being single!
Congratulations.
The head of the family is finally no longer single every day.
Many cadres repeatedly sent congratulations to the two.
Qin Jin did not let them hide this news, so soon this explosive gossip quickly spread throughout many places in Green Source!
A woman was lucky enough to get the favor of the Green Source leader!
I don't know how many women who have been secretly dreaming have their dreams broken, and they only dare to secretly envy, jealous, and hate Zhao Ling, the lucky one who won the throne.
Of course, many people are not discouraged.
Who says that modern men can only have one woman?
As long as Chief Qin is willing, he can still beckon and a large group of mad bees and waves will rush up.
