Chapter 1645 The sky is overcast and the temperature is dropping
Just as the Oil City and Dazhangshu Base were busy preparing for the possible global ice disaster.
To the northwest, Wuyuan Mountain.
In the scientific research institute established by Ma Laoliu.
The incandescent lights in the room are bright, and there are several huge glass fish tanks on the right side of the table. The fish tanks are filled with blue liquid.
These liquids are all potions made by Hu Tian in recent days.
When Hu Tian left the Northwest, he took away the Type I and Type II immature vaccine solutions from the Northwest Scientific Research Institute, as well as information and documents related to vaccine research.
With Ma Laoliu's full support, he would do his best to give Hu Tian anything he wanted.
In just one week, Hu Tian produced hundreds of liters of medicines, which were derived from the original solutions of immature vaccines of Type I and II.
These medicines are somewhat similar to the original vaccine solution, but also somewhat different. In order to test out the parameters he wanted as quickly as possible, Hu Tian strengthened certain elements in the ratio.
The medicines in the five glass fish tanks are all different in color, from dark to light, and have different effects.
"How is it? Can we release it on a large scale?" Ma Laoliu asked, standing next to Hu Tian and looking at a zombie inside the iron railing in front.
The zombie inside the iron railing was extremely quiet. Unlike other zombies that usually pounced on humans when they saw it, it was a little sluggish.
Hu Tian knocked on the iron railing, making a clanging sound. However, the zombie inside seemed not to hear the sound of knocking on the railing at all and remained motionless.
"Don't be in a hurry. Let's make preparations first. Have you chosen the city to launch it in?" Hu Tian asked.
Ma Laoliu nodded and said:
"We have chosen. There should be millions of zombies in BY City in the north, or there should be hundreds of thousands of zombies in Yuzhong County in the southeast."
He looked at the zombie inside the railing, motionless, as if suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and asked: "What's wrong with this zombie? We are so close, why doesn't it react at all?"
"I took a sedative." Hu Tian glanced at his watch, "The effect of the medicine is almost over."
The words just fell.
The eyes of the zombie inside the railing gradually returned to their previous red color.
Boom!
The zombie hit the railing and roared at them.
He pulled the railing with great force, causing the railing to creak.
This zombie even hit his head on the railing, so crazy.
Seeing this zombie in such a state, Ma Laoliu got used to it.
How can a zombie be so calm when it meets someone?
Ma Laoliu looked at Hu Tian next to him and asked dubiously:
"Hu Tian, can the method you mentioned work?"
Hu Tian looked at Ma Laoliu with firm eyes.
"It absolutely works!"
Ma Laoliu saw the determination and confidence in his eyes and was convinced by him again.
"When can large-scale experiments be carried out? Give me an accurate estimate. Also, as you mentioned last time, how will you observe after the potion is put in? Please tell me carefully so that I can make arrangements in advance."
Hu Tian looked at the large tanks of potions at the back, thought for a while and said:
"Give me five days."
"I'm now testing the effect of swallowing the potion. When the potion is released, we won't be able to inject the zombies one by one, so we need to let these zombies take the initiative to swallow the potion."
"So, you have to prepare more than 100 liters of blood for me, either human or animal, and stir it into the potion when the time comes."
Hu Tian proposed some things that Ma Laoliu needed to prepare to fully prepare for this large-scale experiment.
After Ma Laoliu heard what he said, he turned his head and looked at Jin Kui behind him and asked:
"Have you written it all down?"
"Write it down, boss."
"Okay, you will be responsible for preparing these things when the time comes!"
"Okay, boss." Jin Kui nodded.
Ever since Huang Shiyong returned and replaced Hu Tian, the boss often hung out with Hu Tian. When he learned about Hu Tian's plan, he once wanted to dissuade the boss.
After all, this kind of large-scale experiment is very likely to produce uncertain mutations in zombies.
Every zombie has individual differences, and no one knows what kind of mutations it will have.
If nothing else, let's just say that under the pressure of the boss, Huang Shiyong made aggressive adjustments to the vaccine and injected it into a wall-climbing zombie, causing a mutation.
The wall-climbing zombie is no longer afraid of ultraviolet light.
It is equivalent to saying that the weaknesses of wall-climbing zombies are gone.
Just imagine, wall-climbing zombies are flexible and can climb at will on a 90-degree wall and move very fast.
If you are no longer afraid of ultraviolet lights, you don't have to only come out at night. Because it is thin and flexible, you may not be able to find it when you touch it in the base, and then suddenly jump down from the ceiling and bite your neck.
Just thinking about it is scary.
However, he could not dissuade the determined boss, so he could only find ways to strengthen the wall guarding force.
Apart from Ma Laoliu and Hu Tian, the only one who knew about this plan was Jin Kui.
Because Ma Laoliu trusted him, when he sent people to Oil City for exchanges before, he also sent him there.
This time, Ma Laoliu also let him know the plan and asked him to implement it in detail.
A few years ago, Ma Laoliu saved his life.
Jin Kui is a very loyal person. Ever since he was rescued and taken in by Ma Laoliu, he has never had second thoughts and has always been loyal to An An.
Jin Kui looked at Ma Laoliu and Hu Tian and sighed in his heart.
He wanted to persuade again, but he had already tried to persuade the boss in private many times before, but to no avail.
If you continue to persuade, it will easily cause the boss's displeasure.
Naturally, it is impossible for him to tell Northwest about this matter. Once he tells Northwest, the boss will definitely target the boss.
It was impossible to tell the people in Oil City. After all, for them, Northwest and Oil City were actually outsiders.
He told outsiders that it was tantamount to betraying Ma Laoliu.
Now Jin Kui is riding a tiger and is unable to get off. He knows that it may lead to serious consequences, but he has nothing to do.
Wuyuan, more than a thousand kilometers away from Shanxi, is the northwest base.
Four or five kilometers away from the northwest base, Black Hand and Zheng Shiwu stayed here.
This is already the suburbs of Jiayu City.
There is a row of self-built houses, with a house in the middle in the cellar.
The black hand rubbed his back vigorously, removing a layer of black-gray dirt and dead skin.
He rubbed his thumb and forefinger together and formed a ball.
It was placed on a brick in front of him. There were six dirt balls of the same color on the brick.
"Alas, the Beida River has stopped flowing. It is getting more and more difficult for us to get water now."
The black hand placed the dirt ball on the brick,
"Old Zheng, we are running out of water again. If it doesn't work, let's move to the foot of Qilian Mountain. At least there is more melted water in the snowy mountains there."
"Every time we go out to fetch water, we risk being discovered. We might as well find a suitable place at the foot of the Qilian Mountains. Anyway, we can see the northwest base there."
"What do you think?"
Zheng Shiwu was looking at the map with a flashlight.
The flashlight he carries is a push-type power-generating flashlight.
When there is no power, you only need to press it continuously to generate electricity through kinetic energy.
However, every time after using it for a short time, the flashlight ran out of power, and I needed to continue pressing it to continue using it.
After Zheng Shiwu heard what Black Hand said, he put the map away.
Looking at the two briefcase-like buckets next to them, they drank all the water in the buckets today.
"Okay, let's pack up tonight and bring our things. We'll change places tomorrow morning."
Hearing Zheng Shiwu's agreement, Black Hand sat up.
"Okay, I'll pour the wine in the wine jar into the bucket first, and we'll take it over together when the time comes."
"It's up to you." Zheng Shiwu got into the sleeping bag, put on his hat, and slept with his hands on his shoulders.
In recent days, the clouds have become thicker and the temperature has dropped a lot.
At night, the outdoor temperature even reached minus five or six degrees.
It is slightly warmer in the cellar, reaching three or four degrees above zero.
The wine that Blackhand discovered before is also useful. At least in the cold weather, a few sips can warm the body occasionally.
Zheng Shiwu was lying in his sleeping bag, closing his eyes and thinking about things.
It has not rained for four or five months, and the drought is severe. The northwest base has encountered a water shortage problem, but at least they can replenish the water source through melting water from snow mountains and artificial rainfall.
I don’t know how the oil city solves the water shortage problem.
They have been here for a month and will report to Oil City on the latest developments in the northwest almost every two or three days.
There has been no major movement in the northwest for a month.
But it's not like he didn't gain anything from staying here.
He did figure out the rules of the guard posts on duty at the northwest base. He knew the number of people on duty at each point, the time of guard changes, and even some hidden posts around him.
In order to record the location of these sentries, the time of guard changing, etc., he also made special records so that he would have something to hand over to them when he returned to Oil City.
The cold wind howled.
The cellar panels above rattled in the cold wind.
A wisp of cold wind blows down from the gap between the entrance and exit above, replacing the cellar with fresh air.
Zheng Shiwu was very comfortable huddled in his sleeping bag. He was covered with a mink hat even on his head.
The wind outside was very loud, as if it was destroying the world.
A sharp contrast to the silence in the cellar.
Listening to the wind, Zheng Shiwu slowly fell asleep.
The moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, and not a trace of moonlight could reach the earth.
The whole land was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Due to lack of water, large tracts of trees have died all over the mountains and plains.
The ground is covered with withered yellow leaves.
Even at night, there is a hint of dryness and decay in the air.
In the dark night, zombies use their excellent sense of smell to capture water vapor in the air and walk in the direction where the water vapor blows.
Nam Van Lake.
The water level has dropped by 0.5 meters.
There is a sentry tower built out of shipping containers on the shore.
The entire sentry tower is about 8 meters high and is made of more than a dozen iron containers.
The containers on the ground floor are all filled with sand to stabilize the tower.
Through the thick iron railing, Luo Gui looked outside with night vision goggles on his head.
This window faces the woods on the shore.
Because the woods on the shore are close to Nam Van Lake, there is no shortage of water and they are not dry.
In the dark woods, rustling sounds came from inside.
One after another, zombies came out of the woods and jumped into the lake.
Bang bang bang!
Hearing this voice, Luo Gui took a few steps back.
He knew that there must be wall-climbing zombies climbing up the guard tower again.
Sure enough, he just took two steps back.
A hand stretched out from the railing. The arm of the wall-climbing zombie was very thin and long, like the size of a child's arm.
I saw a wall-climbing zombie hanging outside the iron railing, roaring at Luo Gui.
The body shape of the wall-climbing zombie no longer looked like a human, but more like an orangutan.
The legs became shorter and the hands became more thin and long.
Luo Gui picked up a spear from the side and aimed it at the head of the wall-climbing zombie.
He stabbed the head of the wall-climbing zombie fiercely.
Puff!
The sharp spear pierced the zombie's head.
Pulled it out.
It brought out some red and white mucus.
Wall-climbing zombie, die!
But this wall-climbing zombie kept the same action after death because its hands and feet were holding the iron railing, and did not fall down.
Luo Gui used the spear to pick apart the zombie's hands and feet, and used the spear to push the zombie's body down.
Boom!
It fell heavily on the ground below.
Roar, roar, roar!
The zombies below saw the corpse of their companion and rushed up to eat it without hesitation.
The wall-climbing zombie was torn into pieces. In less than two minutes, only a pool of black mucus was left on the ground.
An ordinary zombie was holding the arm of the wall-climbing zombie and eating it. It took only one bite before it was snatched away by other ordinary zombies that swarmed in.
The tallest and most powerful zombie was holding the head of the wall-climbing zombie and eating it.
Zombies all like to eat heads, whether they eat human heads or their own.
"Brother Luo, did you kill another wall-climbing zombie?" Behind Luo Gui, a man came with a flashlight.
Luo Gui turned his head and saw Zhang Zhisheng, nodded and said:
"Well, how is it over there?"
Zhang Zhisheng spread his hands and said: "It's the same as last night, but there are more and more zombies in Nanwan Lake recently, tut tut."
"I just saw the surface of the lake, and there were zombies rolling one after another. Brother Luo, why do these zombies like water so much? I'm worried that the water soaked by so many zombies can still be used."
Luo Gui thought for a while and said:
"I don't know, but the water soaked by zombies can still be used after treatment. Otherwise, this What is the significance of building a water plant? "
"That's right."
Zhang Zhisheng nodded and said:
"Fortunately, the main building of the water plant was built in the trading market. Otherwise, if it was built on the side of Nanwan Lake, the treated clean water source might be contaminated by zombies again before it was transported to the trading market. "
Luo Gui put the spear back to its original position, "The senior leaders must think more carefully than us. What time is it? Let Adong and others come to change shifts."
"2:30, almost, I'll call them." Zhang Zhisheng said.
"Yeah."
The long and terrifying night is torture for many people.
But after the night, there is no bright sunshine.
The sky pressed by clouds is still a little gray even at seven or eight in the morning.
The sky now is like when it is about to rain, with dark clouds.
It gives people a feeling of suffocation and suffocation, which makes people feel heavy and uncomfortable.
Trading Market North District.
Prison.
All members of the Night Faction who had been locked up for a night were released except Zheng Yi.
Murong Feng, the leader of the Night Faction, looked at the gloomy sky with dark circles under his eyes.
This gloomy sky was similar to his mood at the moment.
A night of torture!
Zheng Yi made a big mistake while drunk, but Oil City did not hold the other members of the Night Faction accountable.
However, Oil City judged that Murong Feng, the leader of the team, did not manage his subordinates well, so he punished them by deducting half of their points.
It was still contribution points!
This made Murong Feng feel distressed, because he had accumulated these points for a long time!
He was about to be promoted to level 4 if he continued to work hard, but this wave of people was directly beaten before liberation!
After seeing his dejected subordinates, Murong Feng clapped his hands to cheer them up:
"Brothers, raise your heads! It's okay to be alive. You can earn points again if you lose them, but you lose everything if you lose your life. Brothers, a new day is about to begin, and we must cheer up!"
"Boss, Zheng Yi..." a subordinate suddenly asked.
Murong Feng's face sank, and he said in a low voice:
"Alas, he will definitely not survive. He made such a serious mistake. But this is also his own fault. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have to stay in jail for a night."
"We should be satisfied that we can walk out alive."
One of the subordinates spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground: "Bah, damn Zheng Yi. Liu Lizhao, don't mention Zheng Yi"
"Let's go, go back to sleep first." Murong Feng waved his hand to stop them from arguing, and walked towards the living area.
After a sleepless night, I am so sleepy that my double eyelids are popping out.
