#889 - Chapter 889: Has the source been found?
Inside the Green Source Zone.
On the snow-white road, a line of seven or eight snowmobiles was parked between the large residential area and the small residential area.
Qin Jin, fully armed, wearing airtight cold-resistant clothing and bulletproof gear, sat on one of the motorcycles, carefully surveying the surroundings.
They were outside trying to find the moth's potential, unknown source.
"Mr. Qin, the number of moths coming from the east is relatively high. Let's search over there!"
A member of the combat unit said, looking at the special equipment in his hand.
It turned out that the base had prepared something strange at some point.
It was a jar with ventilation holes around it, and a heating base underneath, constantly heating a small amount of thick blood placed on top.
After laboratory analysis, these moths, like zombies, liked flesh and blood, so Qin Jin ordered the preparation of several devices specifically to attract them.
The fresh human blood inside was steamed to produce a scent, and the direction from which the most moths came could roughly determine where these little things were coming from.
Qin Jin wasn't sure if it would be effective, but it was the simplest and fastest method he could come up with.
In addition to raising the alert level to the highest level, the base also sent hundreds of team members out to find the source of the moths.
Preliminary indications were that this moth crisis didn't seem to be man-made.
If it were, they would have already faced a more violent impact and wouldn't have been allowed to deal with it so "leisurely."
"Send a group of people to check over there! Take personal protection measures. Most moths need to bite people to spread the virus, but a small number can spread it through powder! Don't let these things stick to you, and use respirators at all times!"
After giving the on-site team members instructions, Qin Jin pulled down his transparent visor.
The team members who came out had naturally taken protective measures in advance, and they all responded before heading east.
The Green Source leader rarely came out to fight with them, which surprised and excited everyone. Many people even told themselves to do their best and perform well. If they left a good impression on this figure, promotion and wealth in the future would no longer be a dream!
Qin Jin's decision was naturally due to the base entering a period of stability, with his girlfriend Zhao Ling taking over various annoying affairs. Furthermore, he would soon have to travel frequently to extend his life, so he broke the previous state of always staying in the lair and switched to a more proactive and aggressive mode.
Moreover, he was also a little curious about what was causing this moth crisis.
A creature that could survive at minus forty degrees was definitely amazing.
If there really was a moth queen, he would naturally capture it and let the laboratory study it carefully.
Leaving aside the follow-up, multiple teams of combat members were searching throughout the Green Source Zone.
At two o'clock in the afternoon.
The search had been going on for three hours.
Unfortunately, they still hadn't found the so-called moth queen, and there wasn't even any trace of a possible enemy.
At noon, Qin Jin returned to the base, had a simple lunch, learned that his cousin's condition was temporarily stable, and then continued to go out with the combat team members to conduct the search.
The regeneration fluid was definitely a life-saving treasure to some extent. After his cousin Zhang Jingchu, who had originally entered the acute outbreak period in the morning, used it, her condition remained stable. The medicinal power of the regeneration fluid seemed to remain in her body, continuing to maintain her vital signs.
It should be noted that during this period from morning to afternoon, more infected people entered the acute outbreak period and died one after another!
This moth virus was temporarily incurable. Except for some people with strong physiques or high resistance to this virus who had not yet developed symptoms, those with average physiques had already entered the outbreak period and died!
More than a hundred more deaths were added again in just half a day!
It was incredibly terrifying.
All the infected people were full of despair because the base currently had no clear treatment methods.
They could only use some traditional medical techniques to delay the outbreak time.
Fortunately, no other important personnel were infected besides his cousin Zhang Jingchu, who was worth Qin Jin using the precious regeneration fluid on.
Due to the concentrated firepower on producing D-serum some time ago, there wasn't much regeneration fluid, a treasure that wasn't used very often, in stock for the time being. Moreover, the self-healing cells produced by that tank were limited, resulting in the base not having much stock.
Qin Jin naturally planned to save the rest for emergencies, and he would need to find time to capture more mutated zombies to produce this good stuff in the future.
The mutated zombies that the survivors outside feared like tigers were loved by Qin Jin, it was simply two different lives.
Fortunately, the cerebrospinal fluid and bone marrow fluid of mutated zombies were mainly used to make life-extending fluid, while other body fluids were used to extract and manufacture D-serum and regeneration fluid, otherwise Qin Jin would have to worry about how to allocate them in the future.
They were all very useful.
The base's several captains still needed to use 1-2 more doses of D-serum, and then Qin Jin planned to give it to his parents.
Later, he estimated that he could shift resources to regeneration fluid, such a treasure.
To make a long story short.
In the afternoon, Qin Jin continued to lead the team members to search for the source of the moths.
These things should definitely not emerge from the lowlands for no reason. There must be some strange place that gave birth to them.
The outdoor temperature of minus forty degrees could not stop these team members who had complete protection.
Super cold-resistant clothing, internal heating equipment, and the ability to call for helicopter support back to the base to rest if they felt uncomfortable, allowed everyone to do their best to complete the search.
Just as the time came to about 3 pm.
A message that excited Qin Jin came!
"Mr. Qin! We found an anomaly 5 kilometers outside the Green Source Zone! The moth density here is many times higher than the surrounding area! The suspected source is here!!"
Liu Wenhao's voice shouted from the team channel!
It was actually outside the Green Source Zone!
The place where Team Liu went had already left Mentang Town!
After receiving the message, Qin Jin naturally didn't continue to stay in place. The snowmobile turned its direction and twisted the throttle to rush over there.
About twenty minutes later, he appeared near the mentioned location with a group of team members and saw Team Liu and others who had been waiting for a long time.
"Boss! It's in that direction! We can see with our naked eyes that the number of moths is terrifying!"
Team Liu pointed in a certain direction, and everyone looked over.
The outdoor snow had already stopped at noon, but the people who rushed over could still see many white "snowflakes" faintly floating in the air!
Qin Jin had the best eyesight, and he instantly saw the specific appearance of those snowflakes.
That wasn't snowflakes at all!?
It was clearly a terrifying number of white moths!!
