#1828 - Return to headquarters and study the slices

It was freezing cold with ice and snow all over the place.

On the vast icy sea, a convoy is heading towards the Philippine Islands.

Everyone was chatting idly in the car.

"We should be able to reach the Philippine Islands today, right?"

"Almost. Judging from the current speed, we should be able to arrive before dark."

"This trip was really thrilling. There were such huge zombie sea beasts. It was so scary."

"I actually want to get back to the headquarters base as soon as possible so that I can study those silver zombies in the utility room on the first floor earlier. The skin of those silver zombies is so hard, they are really worth studying!"

As the sun was setting, they could see the outline of the coastline ahead from inside the car.

They took the safer route of returning the same way.

After arriving near the city of Mati, they turned around and headed north.

As the sky darkened, they turned on the ultraviolet lights and searchlights in their car and drove north along the coastline.

It took a total of six days to travel from the Dazhangshu base to the Palau waters.

I guess it will be the same if I go back.

It was a dark night, and He Feng, who was driving the car, kept his eyes on the front with great attention.

Suddenly, the speed of the tram slowed down, and even when He Feng stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, the speed was still decreasing.

Then, the vehicle suddenly stopped.

The four cars behind also stopped.

"???"

Just when He Feng didn't know what to do, the lights in the car suddenly went out and the heating supply stopped.

Click!

After the lights in the car were turned off for a few seconds, the backup power supply started immediately and the lights and heating in the car returned to normal.

Even the dashboard in the front cab lit up again.

"What's going on?" The judge, who was eating, hurried to the cockpit.

The red light in the battery system column on the dashboard is on, indicating a fault.

"Commander, it seems there is a problem with the battery system. It automatically switched to backup power mode." He Feng said, pointing to the dashboard on the front of the car.

"Well, don't start it yet. I'll find someone to see what's going on."

The judge picked up the intercom and contacted car No. 3 and car No. 4, asking vehicle maintenance engineer Jiuge and power system expert Zhang San to get off the car and carry out maintenance on the Big Mac.

Getting off the vehicle at dark was something that had never happened before in this mission.

In order to avoid being spotted by approaching zombies in the dark, they turned on all the high beams, and suddenly, the area was as bright as day.

At the same time, in order to protect the people getting off the car, cars No. 2 and No. 5 are respectively distributed in front and behind the Behemoth.

Cars 3 and 4 drove to the sides of the Big Mac, close to it, so that Zhang San and his companions did not have to walk a few steps to get into the Big Mac after getting off the cars.

soon.

Jiuge, Zhang San, Song Ziming and Liu Tianyi came into the giant car.

Zhang San participated in the design of the Big Mac, so he knew the car best. As soon as he saw the red light displayed on the dashboard, he roughly knew where the problem was.

"How is it? Is it a big problem?" the judge asked anxiously.

"If it's a battery or motor problem, it will be more troublesome. We can only switch to the backup motor battery, but the backup can't drive such a large amount of power, and the driving speed may be reduced to 10 kilometers per hour."

"If it's a wire problem, it's easier to fix. We have spare wires ready to replace."

After listening to this, the judge thought for a moment and asked, "Can we continue to move forward now?"

Zhang San nodded: "No conflict, but we need to turn off the main power switch first. We are using the backup power supply anyway."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Zhang San turned off the main power switch, and then took Liu Tianyi and others down to the first floor of the Big Mac.

The entire first floor of the behemoth is uninhabited. The bottom is the battery, and above it are the zombie generators, water tanks, and utility rooms.

Zhang San unscrewed a layer of floor with a screwdriver and gradually checked the problem of the Big Mac.

Two hours later, Zhang San breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no problem with the battery and the motor.

If there is no problem with these two things, then there is a problem with the wire connection. This is a small problem. Although it takes some time to find the problem, as long as it is a wire problem, it is easy to solve.

So, Zhang San and his team began to test the wires to find out which section had the problem.

At the same time, the behemoth used an independent backup system to continue moving forward.

In a blink of an eye, four hours passed.

The floor of the first floor of the Big Mac was torn into pieces, revealing the complex circuits at the bottom. Zhang San and others were testing them section by section with instruments.

The judge went downstairs to take a look and asked, "Can it be repaired?"

Zhang San wiped the sweat off his face, raised his head and said, "It's not a big problem. It should be a problem with the wires. We have checked half of it now. It is estimated that it will be fixed before tomorrow morning."

"That's good. Thank you for your hard work."

"Commander, the headquarters sent us here just to deal with this situation," Zhang San replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the judge glanced at Zhang San and said nothing more, then returned to the second-floor lounge to rest.

In a blink of an eye, it was five o'clock in the morning of the next day.

The judge heard footsteps and discussions outside in a daze.

"Fixed?"

"Well, you can turn on the main switch and test it out."

"Where's the commander?"

"He rested."

After hearing this, the judge instantly woke up, got up and walked out the door.

"Then give it a try."

Zheng Shiwu looked at the judge and asked in surprise, "Commander, are you awake?"

"Um."

"Go and try it and see if it's fixed."

Zhang San walked to the power room and pushed up the main switch that had tripped.

The vehicle shook noticeably twice, which was caused by the delay in switching the system.

After a few seconds, the behemoth resumed its stable driving.

Zhang San said nothing, and hurried to the dashboard to check, then ran back to the battery display screen on the first floor to check. After confirming that there were no problems, he ran up and said to the judge: "It's fixed, no problem."

"That's good."

It was daybreak at this time, and the blue sky looked a little psychedelic.

Five vehicles crushed the snow and drove north along the coastline.

Time flies, and six days have passed in the blink of an eye.

When the Judge and his companions passed the Philippine Island, they did not meet the group of Chinese people they had rescued. After the vehicle had a problem with the electrical wiring, there were no more problems afterwards.

The journey back was smoother than they had imagined.

Gan City.

Even though the mountain is covered with snow, its original shape can still be seen.

Looking at the familiar terrain in front of him, Lao Qin smoked in the car and finally returned.

According to the electronic beacon distance comparison, they are less than 30 kilometers away from the headquarters base and can arrive in an hour.

At the Dazhangshu base, Li Tie led the assault team members to the buffer city, ready for battle.

At the same time, experts from the Zombie Research Institute, led by Bai Jie Madi, were all waiting together in the city wall.

"I heard from Zhao Ke that the zombies captured this time are extraordinary. They are the most powerful zombies we have ever seen!" Bai Jie turned her head and said to Madi next to her.

Madi nodded. "Well, according to their description, it should be the strongest. But I'm curious about how this zombie mutated. I have to see the real thing to find out."

With expectant eyes, they waited for the arrival of the judge and others.

Two kilometers away from the headquarters base, Judge and his team saw the big camphor tree base.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

White steam was floating in the sky above the large camphor tree base not far away. It was coming from the chimney of the boiler room.

To them, this heat was full of vitality.

The presence of smoke means the presence of humans. During the half month that they were on this mission, they had not encountered any other humans except those on the Philippine Island.

This feeling of loneliness is even stronger when they are sailing on the endless frozen ocean.

Now that they had finally returned to the headquarters base, they couldn't help but feel excited when they thought of the delicious food, the warm and soft beds, and the lively atmosphere at the headquarters base.

Soon, the convoy arrived outside the city wall of the Dazhangshu base.

The snow inside the city wall has been cleared.

Not only that, even an area outside the buffer city gate was cleared of snow.

During the time when the judge and his companions were away, the snow became more compact, and as the temperature rose, the snow gradually turned into ice chips under the sunlight.

The thickness of the snow has dropped by nearly half, to less than eight meters.

They used a bulldozer to shovel out a ramp outside the buffer city and compacted it with a bulldozer.

Boom boom boom!

The giant jumped out from the snow and crushed the slope. The snow on the slope crackled and sank nearly one meter.

The newly compacted ramp was completely deformed after being crushed by the giant monster weighing hundreds of tons.

However, with the ramp, the behemoth can drive down more smoothly.

Otherwise, with a height difference of eight meters, the behemoth would easily overturn if it drove down directly.

The gate of the city wall was open.

The behemoth slowly drove into the city.

Li Yu took Li Tie and others to greet them. This time the mission cycle was very long and the risk was high, so as the city lord, Li Yu wanted to personally welcome them back.

Crunch!

The behemoth stopped in the center of the city.

The judge got out of the car.

"City Lord, I failed to find the meteorite and failed to complete the task you assigned me."

Li Yu shook his head and said:

"Uncle Judge, I understand the situation. You have done a great job. Moreover, you have already found out the location where the giant meteorite fell. You have completed one of the most important tasks this time."

"Everyone has worked hard along the way. Let them handle the rest. After you finish the inspection, go back and rest."

The judge and others had been working non-stop for half a month and were indeed a little tired, so they handed over the videos and pictures they had taken along the way, as well as the records they had made, to their second uncle and returned to the inner and outer cities to rest.

As for experts such as Zhao Ke and Wang Yin, they strongly requested to stay.

They were looking forward to it all the way back, thinking that they could study the silver zombies they brought back after returning to the headquarters base.

After finally arriving at the headquarters base, they were eager to start research immediately.

Now comes the highlight.

Li Tie led the commandos and opened the utility room on the first floor of the Big Mac.

According to the Judge's advice, they were all equipped with stainless steel nets. Once the zombies in the utility room got loose, they would immediately shoot out the nets to imprison the zombies.

Li Tie breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the silver zombie inside was still welded to death by the steel plates.

After cutting the steel plate, the zombies underneath were revealed, and the fine steel net still bound these zombies tightly.

They carried these silver zombies into five iron cages that had been built in the past few days.

These iron cages are extremely sturdy. Each steel pipe in the cage is solid and almost as thick as an arm.

Unless these zombies are all Hulks, it is impossible for them to escape from the iron cage.

They didn't untie the net, but directly threw the zombies into the iron cage.

Then it was transported by truck to the basement of the Zombie Research Institute.

They sent the five zombies into different test rooms.

Seeing Madi and Bai Jie approaching with curiosity, Zhao Ke quickly stopped them and said:

"Minister Bai, Lao Ma, these zombies cannot be underestimated. You must be careful later. They are extremely strong and very fast. We have to find a way to weld their limbs to the wall before we can start studying them."

Tap tap tap

A group of people ran in from outside the door.

"What are you doing?" Bai Jie asked curiously.

Zhao Ke said: "I just applied to Captain Li Tie and asked him to go to the factory to help find a few cutting machines and electric drills."

"I'm not lying to you. Take a look at the video I just gave you. It shows how strong this zombie is."

Bai Jie got the video footage, but her attention had just been on the zombies that were wrapped like dumplings, so she hadn't had time to watch it.

Madi found a computer and clicked on the video.

In the video, they witnessed the zombies' climbing ability, running speed, and most importantly, their ability to withstand bullets. Their surface skin is extremely hard and bullets cannot penetrate it.

Although I have heard Zhao Ke say this, the visual impact is always stronger.

Bai Jie and Madi were shocked by the power of this zombie. Facing such a powerful zombie, it was never too cautious.

Afterwards, they dealt with these zombies carefully and cautiously.

They directly imprisoned three of them on the second floor underground and sealed them with a steel coffin, leaving them alone for the time being.

Of the remaining two, one was dismembered using a fine steel cutting machine and divided into several parts for full-body research.

On the other side, he used an electric drill to pierce the zombie's limbs, locked the zombie's limbs with iron chains, and welded a steel helmet on its head to prevent it from biting people.

The skin of this zombie is extremely hard, and when the cutting machine cuts it, it feels like cutting steel plates.

In the laboratory.

After Bai Jie observed the skin of this King Kong zombie through a microscope,

Found an animal with skin very similar to this zombie!

It was a kind of snail, the scaly-footed snail.

This snail has a hard shell that covers its entire body and can withstand damage from ordinary bullets.

Just one word: hard!

Compared with ordinary snails, the scaly-horned gastropod snail also has significant differences in its living environment.

They choose to live near hydrothermal vents deep under the sea, where the temperature can reach hundreds of degrees Celsius and is extremely harsh.

It just so happened that the meteorite from outer space fell on the bottom of the sea and reacted with the sea water, generating a large amount of heat.

Bai Jie looked at this section of King Kong zombie's finger and couldn't help but think:

Could it be that the zombies have mutated after devouring a large number of scaly-horned gastropod snails?
