#1829 - Liu Baijie, zombie crystal core?

It has been two days since the Judge and his men returned, and the Zombie Research Institute is still conducting research on the captured sea zombies.

On this day, Li Yu found the judge, Lao Qin and others.

They were taken to a room on the third floor of the First Outer City Administrative Building.

As soon as he entered the room, the judge was attracted by the sand table in the center.

"This is, the Northwest Base?"

Hearing the judge's question, Dongtai stepped forward and introduced:

"Not only the Northwest Headquarters Base, but also several sub-bases of the Northwest forces: Yumen Oilfield, the military base at the foot of Qilian Mountain, the garrison in Jinta County, Jiuquan, the garrison in Weiwu City, the farms and ranches in Zhang City, and the eastern barrier of Wuyuan Mountain!"

"There are seven places in total. These sand tables are based on the confessions of Xu Zhi and others we captured during interrogation, as well as the information collected by the exploration team sent to the northwest."

Lao Qin walked forward, looked at the sand table and exclaimed:

"This is well done, the degree of restoration is very high."

Li Yu walked to the front and said to the judge and others:

"Once this icy disaster is over, we will immediately dispatch troops to the Northwest Base and try to take down the Northwest forces in one fell swoop! Please come here, I want you to help me with the plan to attack the Northwest forces."

"We have reached an agreement with Ma Laoliu from Wuyuan Mountain before, but we have been unable to contact Ma Laoliu recently. Something must have happened in Wuyuan Mountain."

The judge looked at the small flags stuck on it. There were some notes next to them, which showed roughly how many troops were stationed in each place and what equipment they had.

"City Lord, the Northwest Base is quite powerful. From east to west, there are at least four passes. If we launch a large-scale attack, we will definitely be discovered by their branch bases. By the time we arrive at the Northwest Headquarters Base, they may have already made defensive preparations."

Li Yu nodded and said:

"What you said is what I am worried about, so intelligence is very important. Before the army sets out, we must send an elite team to conduct reconnaissance. In addition."

Li Yu paused for a few seconds.

"Let me first talk about the current plan."

“Before I talk about the plan, let me introduce two weapons:

There is a potion in the Camphor Tree Base that can attract zombies, called the Zombie Attracting Potion."

"At the same time, we successfully developed a sonic weapon from a screaming zombie you captured in BY City last time. It can imitate the sound of a screaming zombie and attract zombies to come closer."

"We plan to use these two weapons to lure away a large number of zombies in the east, at least more than two million zombies, the more the better, to Wuyuan Mountain, break through the first line of defense of Wuyuan Mountain, and head all the way west!"

"With zombies clearing the way, even if we can't directly sweep them away, we can consume their ammunition. On the other hand, we can also put pressure on them! If they can't stand the pressure and voluntarily hand over the meteorite and surrender, then we can lead the zombies to the northern desert."

"To defeat the enemy without fighting?" asked the judge.

Li Yu nodded: "That's about it. We are already familiar with the zombie attracting potion. We used it often before."

Previously, whether it was attacking the north or heading south to Southeast Asia, the zombie-attracting potion played a huge role.

Thanks to the zombie potion, their combat forces suffered minimal losses.

It can be said that the enemy was killed at the lowest cost.

The judge had also witnessed the great effect of the zombie potion in the previous thunderstorm disaster, so he naturally believed what Li Yu said.

The judge hesitated and asked, "City Lord, there is nothing wrong with your plan. I think we can follow this plan."

"No."

Li Yu shook his head and said:

"I'm just afraid that they will run away like Yuan Zhi did. If the big boss runs away with the meteorite, then all our efforts will be in vain."

"So what I want to do is to outflank them, and then I will send a team."

Li Yu walked to the national map, pointed to the northern part of Yinchuan and said:

"From northern Ningxia all the way west, through Inner Mongolia, and then south to Gua County near Yumen, to prevent them from fleeing west to the new province."

"This is my rough idea. The specific details of the operation still need to be improved. You all have more experience. Next, you can work together to improve the plan. If you have any better plans, you can also bring them out."

"Awesome." The judge exclaimed in amazement. Just one potion should be able to attract millions of zombies. In some medium and large cities, it can definitely attract millions of zombies.

He couldn't help but think, if he had taken this thing to Palau, maybe he could have gotten closer to the sea?

But it doesn’t make much sense, after all, I still can’t reach the Palau Islands.

The entire Palau archipelago is surrounded by sea water and is not frozen.

After Li Yu spoke a few words to the judge and others, he left the sand table room.

There is a larger room next door, which contains sand tables of the camphor tree base, the oil city, and even the northern border.

However, the sand table of the northern border is still under production. There are an old man and a child in it, who are holding the data map and doing manual work bit by bit to improve the sand table.

After Li Yu left the sandbox room, he walked towards the Zombie Research Institute.

On the way, I was also thinking about the northwestern forces.

Over the years, in the early days of the Dazhangshu base, ammunition was in short supply and demand, and each time ammunition was seized, it would be consumed quickly.

But since the zombie-attracting potion was developed, and the headquarters base achieved independent production of ammunition, more ammunition is produced than consumed.

Moreover, the amount of ammunition seized from several large military bases discovered was even more astonishing.

Therefore, the northwestern forces have no shortage of ammunition. Instead, they can take advantage of this battle to clear out their ammunition stockpiles.

When I came out of the administrative building, the temperature outside had risen a lot, but it was still around minus 50 to 60 degrees Celsius, and the wind was biting.

Li Yu got on the Unimog and said, "Let's go to the Zombie Research Institute."

"Okay." Cannon nodded and drove the Unimog towards the research institute.

There has been no interrogation work recently, so Dapao has become Li Yu's full-time driver. Wherever Li Yu goes, he goes.

After entering the Zombie Research Institute, there was no one in the hall.

Li Yu looked at the time and it was time for dinner.

How come there is no one here?

With doubts, he walked towards the basement research center.

On the way, he encountered a pupil recognition door. Li Yu walked forward and opened the door through pupil recognition.

"City Lord." As soon as he came in, he met Xiaolan. When Xiaolan saw Li Yu, she quickly stopped and lowered her head in fear.

Xiaolan has joined the Big Camphor Tree Base for many years, but her personality has not changed. She is extremely socially anxious and seems like a nobody.

He either stays in the laboratory or in the dormitory and doesn't go anywhere.

However, she was familiar with Bai Jie, and with Bai Jie's care, she had no worries in the base.

"Where are Minister Bai and the others?" Li Yu asked.

Xiaolan was pushing a cart with a glass jar on it. Inside the jar was a zombie head soaked in formalin.

Xiaolan raised her head and quickly lowered it again, "Sister Bai, Sister Bai and Dean Ma are in the B203 laboratory."

"Well, go ahead and get busy."

"Okay."

Xiaolan quickly pushed the cart away.

Li Yu looked at Xiaolan's hasty escape and said helplessly to the cannon behind him:

"Do I look scary?"

"Well, Xiaolan has always been like this. City Lord, you are used to it, right?"

Li Yu touched his nose and walked straight to the second underground floor.

The corridor on the second underground floor of the research institute was empty. The walls on both sides were white and the incandescent lights were flickering, making the entire corridor look a bit creepy.

Li Yu walked to the large B203 laboratory. When he opened the door, he found that most of the zombie researchers including Bai Jie, Madi, Zhao Ke, and Wang Yin were here.

They gathered around a table, studying an object placed in the center.

It seemed that they were so engrossed in their research that they didn't even notice Li Yu coming in.

Li Yu walked over, got behind Bai Jie, and looked at the thing placed in the center.

The table is a huge glass table with lights underneath.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In the center of the table was a glass container with a light blue, diamond-like crystal on top.

"What is this?" Li Yu asked suddenly.

Everyone immediately looked up and saw Li Yu.

Bai Jie was even more frightened by Li Yu's voice behind her. She trembled all over and took two steps back, revealing her buttocks wrapped in a white coat.

It hit Li Yu's rough pistol.

Bai Jie subconsciously twisted left and right.

Then he took two steps forward awkwardly, turned around and said to Li Yu:

"City Lord, we found a crystal core in the zombie's head. Are we studying it now?"

"Crystal core? What is that?" Li Yu was shocked when he heard that.

Haven’t you ever eaten pork but seen a pig run?

It's not like he had never read apocalyptic novels before the end of the world. Generally, those with crystal cores meant that the zombies had superpowers! Then humans would obtain crystal cores from the zombies' heads, fight monsters and level up, become superhumans, and then start cultivating immortals, ascending to heaven, and conquering the universe.

He thought he was facing the end of the world without superpowers, but seven years later, zombie crystal cores have emerged! ?

"Yes, a crystal core! According to our research, this crystal core is an aggregate of zombie viruses. Because there are so many viruses in the body of this King Kong zombie, the quantitative change leads to a qualitative change, so a crystal is produced, which is the zombie crystal core." Bai Jie explained.

Li Yu asked with some concern:

"So the crystal core is a collection of zombie viruses. Will there be zombies with special powers? Can we humans absorb the crystal core to evolve?"

Bai Jie gave Li Yu a strange look.

"Ahem, City Lord, you said that this crystal core is the crystallization of the zombie virus. If humans absorb it, they can only become zombies. As for mutant zombies, we were just talking about it. It's unlikely."

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Fortunately, it is still a world he can accept.

"Then, what is the use of this crystal core?"

Maddy explained:

"So far, this crystal core is rich in DI elements, which may become one of the new energy sources. Deputy Minister He Bing has mentioned the idea of ​​DI element energy before, such as in aircraft and vehicles, but we are still studying how to utilize DI elements."

"No more?"

“No more.”

Li Yu rolled his eyes. At present, the crystal core is of no use.

"Can't we develop a zombie vaccine based on this crystal core?"

"no."

Madi shook his head and said, "We tested it yesterday and it failed. We need a meteorite from outer space."

"DI material elements are now circulating in nature with the water cycle, but these DI elements have been polluted during the water cycle, and we have no way to extract the purest DI elements."

"This crystal core is not okay either?" Li Yu asked, pointing at the light blue crystal in the middle.

"No, the purity is not enough. With the current refining technology, it is impossible to refine it to such a pure level!"

"Okay, so this crystal is useless at the moment?"

"almost."

"What about the King Kong zombie? Why is its surface skin so hard?"

Bai Jie replied:

"We figured this out the day before yesterday. This zombie devoured a large number of horned gastropod snails on the seabed, causing mutations in its skin. The shells of horned gastropod snails are extremely hard.

In addition, this zombie has a lot of DI elements in its body, so it absorbed the advantages of this snail and mutated into its current appearance."

"At the same time, the reason why the King Kong zombies can run so fast and have such long endurance is also because of this crystal core."

Li Yu's mood was up and down. He hoped that this was a crystal that could make humans mutate and become stronger, but he was also afraid that this crystal could make people mutate.

Once you have superpowers, the current order system will be destroyed.

Once an individual's power becomes greater than that of a powerful group, his current advantage will be reduced.

Now that he knew that this crystal was not of much use, he felt relieved.

"Well, continue your research. Once you find any use for this crystal, contact me immediately."

"Yes, City Lord." Bai Jie nodded to Li Yu, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

The city lord hasn't taken her out for several days.

Li Yu's face remained calm. He glanced at Bai Jie, and only Bai Jie could understand the meaning in his eyes.

When I reached the door of the laboratory.

Boom boom boom!

In an iron cage near the laboratory door, a zombie sheep inside suddenly crashed into the iron bars with such force that the bars made a loud bang.

Hear some noise.

Madi trotted over and explained, "City Lord, this zombie sheep was mutated by the King Kong zombie crystal. It is more fierce than ordinary zombie animals."

Li Yu looked at the back of the zombie lamb. There was a gap on it. It seemed that they put the crystal on the lamb's back.

“Well, you deal with zombies every day, so you must be careful not to get infected,” Li Yu reminded.

"Don't worry, City Lord"

Li Yu glanced at the zombie lamb, turned around and left laboratory B203.

When they returned to the ground floor, they met Xiaolan again.

When Xiaolan saw Li Yu, she called out "City Lord" in a low voice and ran away in a hurry.

Li Yu listened to Xiaolan's footsteps and inexplicably remembered a time when he was playing games in Bai Jie's office. He seemed to hear footsteps outside the door, and those footsteps were somewhat similar to Xiaolan's footsteps.

No wonder Xiaolan feels embarrassed and quickly turns away every time she sees him.

It turned out that when he was walking Bai Jie, the sound Bai Jie made might have been heard by Xiaolan.
