Chapter 81 Team 2's Suspicion

Xia Guang felt embarrassed by being stared at and expressed his thoughts: "Entrance to the base was very strict before, but the conditions were relaxed before the acid rain.

Although many people died due to the insect plague, it can be said that it was to replenish the population. But why did the base officials announce that acid rain would cause mutations only after it rained?

What a coincidence, it just happened to be revealed now that it will cause another mutation, as if someone is controlling it!"

Xia Qi, his younger brother, patted his brother's shoulder with satisfaction: "It's great that you can think of so much!"

Xia Guang looked at his teammates in confusion: "What do you mean? You've already thought of this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Qi gave him an affirmative look.

Zhang Xiaobai: "The smell of District 5, do you smell anything?"

Zhao Yunyao was the first to raise her hand: "A few days before the rain, there was a faint smell of medicine!"

Xia Guang watched as everyone nodded in tacit understanding, especially Du Tao who said that he smelled it too, which made him even more confused.

Zhang Xiaobai: "Yes, the smell is very faint, and it is difficult to smell it under the stench of Area 5. Even if you smell it, you will just think it is the smell left by insecticide, or the odor-blocking agent sprayed regularly by the base.

It’s not certain yet, but it’s doubtful.”

Xia Guang: "So that smell is related to this mutation?"

Liu Chuchun: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. Moreover, a large number of sensing devices were suddenly added today. Something must have happened that we are not aware of."

Pu Zhi: Yes, you are right.

Of course she wouldn't say it, but she didn't expect that the people in Team 2 were more careful than she thought.

Zhang Xiaobai frowned: "The rain is coming strangely, as if it is being deliberately controlled, or as if someone knew about it in advance."

Xia Qi crossed his legs expressionlessly, his arms folded on his lap. "If the base is accepting so many survivors for the purpose of mutation after the acid rain, then they are most likely conducting genetic mutation experiments. Whether the acid rain caused the residents to mutate, or someone behind the scenes secretly spread the drug among the residents in advance and used the acid rain as a cover-up, it's not good news."

Pu Zhi lowered her eyes, struggling internally over whether or not to tell others the news of someone's rebirth. She wasn't talking about herself, but about the video she had saved on her phone, the one that said she had a dream about the end of the world.

But in the end, she decided not to tell anyone. Everything was still uncertain, and revealing more would increase the danger.

Zhang Xiaobai also agreed with Xia Qi's point of view and reminded him worriedly: "No matter what kind of rain it is in the future, it's best not to get wet for safety reasons. You can't completely trust the base, understand?"

The person behind this is plotting something big, and we won’t know anything until we have a firm grasp of it.”

This time Xia Qi understood, he knew nothing.

After a night of catching up on sleep, everyone woke up to see the 30,000 points sent by the base officials.

As a reward for protecting the base these days.

Zhang Xiaobai used more than 10,000 points to exchange for crystal cores, which, together with the team's inventory, was enough for Zhao Yunyao and Xia Guang to upgrade.

Zhao Yunyao absorbed it first and demonstrated to everyone the changes after reaching level three.

First, she could carry more things, and they could transform into shadows with her, weighing about 20 kilograms, but they couldn't be living things. At level two, besides clothes, she could only carry a gun and a knife at most; she couldn't carry anything more.

Secondly, she can perform shadow jumps. At level two, she can only move in the shadowed area. Once out of the shadow range, she will turn into her original form.

But now, even if the two shadows are not connected, she can jump over them as a shadow, with a maximum distance of 5 meters. This will make her more flexible.

It was half an hour later when Xia Qi came out. He had a stern face and it was obvious that not much had changed.

As the younger brother, Xia Qi was the first to step forward to comfort him: "It's okay, our combined special moves are the most powerful!"

Unexpectedly, Xia Guang's expression changed and he burst into laughter. He rolled up his sleeves and pretended to show off his skills to everyone: "Don't underestimate me! Watch me!"

As the words fell, dozens of thumb-sized flames appeared out of thin air in the villa, floating in the air.

Xia Guang looked at so many flames and laughed more and more wildly. He was destined to be a master of murder and arson!

Everyone was happy for him. Although it didn't have much killing power, it was much better than the small flame before. It was a good thing that he was so optimistic.

If used well on the battlefield, it might even have miraculous effects.

No zombies came in the next few days, and the second team went out to complete a few missions.

Taking advantage of the free time, Pu Zhi went out alone again.

I still have three little ones to upgrade, so I can't waste time.

She only brought a few bottles of odor-blocking spray symbolically. This thing has little effect on zombies above level 2 and is not as useful as her own cards of the same type.

As soon as we left the base, we saw a circle of iron fences outside. The previous spray was no longer effective, and hundreds of zombies were attracted by the human smell every day.

The base had no choice but to install a fence outside and clean it regularly every day.

Just as Pu Zhi's car drove out, several nimble zombies rushed in. The duty officer took up his laser gun and shot through their legs, making them unable to move. Then he quickly dispatched them and dug out the crystal core. This thing was worth one-fifth of it, and the previously boring duty began to become more motivated.

The doorman job that everyone disliked is now almost scrambled for, and many people who have no connections have been directly replaced.

…

Outside, just as Pu Zhi was trying hard to kill the zombies, the base contacted Base No. 1, which had developed a special-effect zombie odor-blocking spray that was effective against level two and half as effective against level three.

The matter was of great importance, so the base decided to send out an army and a hunting team. However, considering the extreme temperature and the fact that it was too cold at night, three more hunting teams were dispatched for safety reasons. With ice-related abilities, they would be much safer at night.

In my previous life, it took about three to four days to drive to the capital and back. Now, it would take at least ten days to get back.

Five days later.

Qingyin has been digging out crystal cores every day these days, and the branches are numb.

Fortunately, I have collected the crystal cores needed for Xiaoren and Qianli to upgrade.

After entering the space, Pu Zhi and Qing Yin watched over the two beasts as they upgraded.

Qianli absorbed the energy a few minutes faster than Xiaoren. At level four, its size was several times larger than its maximum size at level three.

It is two stories high and about the size of three elephants put together.

Even though it was so heavy, its speed did not slow down at all. It was so fast that Pu Zhi could only barely see its afterimage.

Sometimes it seemed like there was a missing section when it was almost in the middle, giving Pu Zhi the illusion of teleportation or space travel.

But when I looked at it again, it was gone. Maybe it has potential in this area, but its strength is not enough now and it needs more practice.
