Chapter 196 Urgency

[The natural life energy contained in the dragon crystal has the effect of purifying any gene except the original gene, and can remove the zombie genes in the host. ]

The system immediately gave an answer.

"Dragon crystal?" Luo Ren was extremely bitter. He had dragon crystal before, but later he lost it. Moreover, he remembered that high-tech instruments were needed to extract the life energy in the dragon crystal, and he didn't know where to get these things.

The system could sense Luo Ren's thoughts and immediately spoke:

[In the spirit of humanitarianism, remind the host that the base can be upgraded to level 4 to unlock the research institute, which can extract the life energy in the dragon crystal. ]

"Really?!" Luo Ren was immediately surprised and hope was rekindled in his heart. It would be easy to upgrade the base to level 4. The quasi-level 3 zombies and level 3 zombies were killed, and the problem of No. 1 shelter city was basically solved.

The problem of Yuhui City had been solved long ago. What was left was the migration of population. As long as the people of these two cities were migrated to Chiyang City, the population of Chiyang City or the population of the base would exceed 500,000 at once, meeting the conditions for upgrading to level 4.

Once the base is upgraded to level 4, the research institute can be unlocked, and the only problem left is to find the dragon crystal!

Luo Ren took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and asked: "System, how long will it take for the zombie virus I am infected to break out?"

[The host's current physique is a quasi-level 3 evolver, and his resistance to zombie gene invasion is much stronger than that of ordinary people. It is expected to delay the outbreak of zombie genes for fifteen days. 】

"Only fifteen days?"

Luo Ren frowned. It can only be delayed for fifteen days, which is far from enough. He remembered what the system said before, that dragon crystals can only be bred in famous mountains and rivers. In such places, there are fewer humans and naturally fewer zombies.

However, there are many animals there, and they are all wild animals. Even if they have not evolved, they are extremely dangerous, let alone after evolution.

Therefore, if you want to find dragon crystals in such a place, fifteen days is definitely not enough.

Suddenly, he opened his palm again, saw the quasi-level 3 evolution crystal, and asked: "System, if I take this evolution crystal and become a level 3 evolver, will the time to suppress the virus be extended?"

[Yes, the level 3 evolver has a strong physique and is expected to delay the zombie gene virus for 3 months. 】

"Fuck!"

As soon as this was said, Luo Ren was shocked. The difference between the quasi-level 3 evolver and the level 3 evolver was too big, one was fifteen days, and the other was three months, a full six times difference in the middle.

However, this also made Luo Ren relieved. Three months, that is, 90 days. Although it is not certain that the dragon pattern crystal can be found within three months, it is better than 15 days.

Without further ado, Luo Ren jumped and ran into the city. He came to the inner city and walked into the exclusive military tent. He picked up the kettle casually, poured out the clean water, washed the impurities on the quasi-level 3 evolution crystal, and then swallowed it without hesitation.

The feeling of being bitten by millions of ants immediately swept over his body, but Luo Ren's expression only changed slightly, and he did not howl in pain.

Because he had taken three quasi-level 3 evolution crystals, his physical condition had greatly improved. At the same time, he also felt the pain of evolution twice, and he was able to accept it.

In layman's terms, he got used to it.

Time passed by seconds, about a minute and a half later.

Crack!

Luo Ren seemed to hear a crisp sound, as if something broke, and suddenly felt relaxed all over. The physical strength he had just consumed was instantly replenished at this moment.

He slowly opened his eyes and raised his hand to see that his arm was covered with a layer of translucent, white skin, which made him complain: "Does it shed every time it evolves?"

He quickly tore off the dead skin on his body and changed into a set of clean clothes. While changing clothes, he touched his skin. Unlike before, it felt like polished granite, but it felt soft and elastic like normal skin.

Such a change did not make him happy at first, but worried. He drew out his saber and stabbed his arm. His skin was not cut, and there was no mark left. Such strength was already higher than that of a Level 2 Evolver.

In this way, he breathed a sigh of relief and became excited. However, the excitement did not last long. It was soon dispelled by the urgency of being infected with the zombie virus and finding the dragon crystal within three months.

After changing his clothes, he rushed to East City.

The zombies without a leader were in chaos. They fought with guns and artillery, and their bodies were broken and splashed in the explosion of shells. They were scattered everywhere, and even the roof of a tank had pieces of body parts.

And the three Level 2 power zombies were directly blown into pieces by the tank's armor-piercing shells without the need for Luo Shan, Luo Hai, and Luo Ji, the three Level 2 Evolvers, to take action.

Seeing that the zombies at the city gate were piling up more and more, almost blocking the city gate, Luo Ren immediately ordered: "Luo Ji Luo Li, you lead a thousand people, climb the city wall, and annihilate the zombies."

Only tank shells, heavy machine guns, and light machine guns were used to block the gate, and thousands of people were not used and could only stand behind and watch.

At this time, Luo Ren spoke, and Luo Ji Luo Li immediately picked out a thousand idle guard soldiers, quickly climbed the city wall, and annihilated the zombies.

Unlike in Chiyang City, there were still level 2 speed zombies summoning retreat. At this time, the level 3 zombies and quasi-level 3 zombies, as well as four level 2 zombies, were already dead. Among the remaining zombies, except for the quasi-level 2 speed zombies that retreated on their own, the rest of the zombies only had an extreme desire for flesh and blood.

Therefore, these zombies will not retreat, but attack until the last zombie is killed.

Thousands of guardsmen climbed onto the city wall, and various firearms were set up. In an instant, the gunfire was several times denser, and the zombies were killed several times faster.

Lao Song, who wore gold-rimmed glasses and was the chief of staff of the Royal Army, saw this situation and said with emotion: "The combat effectiveness of the Guards is really powerful."

Immediately afterwards, he was about to reach Luo Ren and asked curiously: "Sir Luo Ren, where did you go just now?"

When Luo Ren fought with the zombies, ordinary people like Lao Song could only see two shadows flashing back and forth and couldn't see the details at all. As for Luo Ren being injured by the zombies, he didn't even notice.

All I know is that the last particularly powerful zombie was pecked to death by the goshawk circling in the sky.

"The zombies' blood was splattered all over me, so I went to change my clothes."

Luo Ren made an excuse at random. It would be best if only he knew about being infected with the zombie virus.

Hearing this, Lao Song looked at Luo Ren. Although the clothes were of the same style, they were much cleaner now, so he didn't have too many doubts.

Time flew by. About half an hour later, the gunfire gradually died down and the battle ended. Luo Ren climbed onto the city wall and glanced over, only to see zombie corpses scattered all over the place. The scene was very spectacular.
