Chapter 166 A Mushroom Cloud
Looking at the approaching zombies.
Ji Zai pointed to the row of buttons, "Listen, the red dots on the screen are zombies, and the blue dots are humans. The scanner will clearly display everything within a kilometer radius of the school."
"Follow the system's instructions and launch the bombs..."
"If the number is less than 100, small bombs are sufficient; if the number is less than 500, medium bombs will be used; and if an alarm like the one we are hearing now is sounded, large bombs will be dropped directly."
"And we will quickly activate the mustard protection."
Ji Zai explained the function of each button, teaching them how to operate the transparent display screen.
There are many things in Jinwo, but most of the truly usable items are here.
It was only set up as a temporary combat command post.
There were nearly three hundred bombs stored inside.
150 small bombs, 110 medium bombs, and 40 large bombs.
This is all the operational resources of this command post.
Compared to zombies, they are pitifully few.
However, Ning City's resources are limited and scarce.
The zombies on the big screen had blue faces and fangs, which was different from before. In the past, the faces of zombies were as white as dead people, but now they had turned bluish-purple, and they walked like real humans. Some even jumped up.
Fortunately, the mustard seed space is completely sealed, otherwise they would all have crawled in.
Upon seeing these zombies, Nan Yao couldn't help but turn pale. "My God, there must be at least several thousand of them. It's practically a sea of zombies! How can anyone in Ning City possibly survive?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud crashing sound appeared on the screen.
Everyone around fell silent.
Ouyang Yi said, "When I spotted them just now, they were still two kilometers away. We just returned to the control room from the greenhouse, and they've already arrived. They're faster than us."
No, it's not just about being faster on foot.
Instead, they've become stronger and stronger. Those little dots, stumbling and bumping, encounter a car, and then simply raise their hands, lift the car up, and throw it away.
This is a human action, but not the strength that humans should possess.
The screen was filled with zombies.
It's so despairing to watch.
Ji Zai was silent for a while, then said, “Don’t be afraid. Zombies are evolving, and so are humans. If it were four months ago, you definitely wouldn’t have been able to outrun them, but that’s not necessarily true now. They’re faster, and so are you.”
"Besides, I never said that I couldn't deal with these zombies."
Ji Zai had been thinking about building this control room since he first felt uneasy.
That's why she went to rob someone.
This is precisely to deal with such unexpected situations.
She knew it would come, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly.
As expected, the magnetic field leaves no room for complacency.
Ji Zai pointed at the zombies and said, "Since you're all here, let's kill them all. I want to see if you regenerate faster or I can kill them faster."
Upon hearing this, everyone heard a loud bang.
They hadn't quite come to their senses yet.
Then I saw a black mushroom rise up from the spot.
My ears are filled with a deafening roar, and a constant beeping sound—
Even the ground beneath our feet was trembling.
Seeing this, everyone realized for the first time how terrifying the bomb was. Without a sound, with just a gentle press, everything was reduced to ashes.
At that moment, they suddenly understood why so many people feared war.
In that instant, before you even have a chance to feel the pain, you're dead.
Dr. Cui remained silent for a long time. "Is it over?"
Ji Zai looked at the dust on the screen and nodded. "It's over, but it will take a few more days for the dust to completely dissipate."
All the dots on the screen disappeared.
Perhaps it wasn't just a point; the whole place had become a void of blackness.
Everything is gone.
That's how powerful bombs are.
Everyone was stunned by the sound.
Ji Zai turned around and said, "That's all for this lesson. You should now understand the basic function of the control room. We need two extra people to be on duty here every day, for both the day and night shifts."
Ouyang Yi, still shaken, said, "I understand."
Ji Zai nodded, and that was how this wave of zombies was dealt with.
It was also thanks to the timely arrival of those resources.
Otherwise, we can only drop small bombs to barely deal with this wave.
After dealing with this wave, they will run out of ammunition and find themselves in a very passive situation.
Ji Zai didn't say anything more, leaving them to wait quietly for their bodies to react.
She rarely had the energy to explore the area behind the mountain.
When we arrived at the back of the mountain, we were sure to see vegetables growing very well.
She went over to take a look.
The leaves are growing really well.
"Leader, those are sweet potato leaves. They're ripe and can be picked, but the sweet potatoes will have to wait a while longer."
Ji Zai turned around and saw Tian Mimi.
She was also the first to go to the back of the mountain.
Tian Mimi walked over and said, “I don’t know why, but I always think about coming here to see things. Only here can I feel at ease. When I finally saw it, my heart was at peace. At least my paradise is still here.”
Ji Zai knew her unease at that moment, "Afraid?"
Tian Mimi nodded, "Who wouldn't be scared? The zombies outside have reached the point where a nuclear explosion is needed, which means ordinary bullets are no longer effective against them. How could I not be scared?"
"Leader, why us? Why are we the only ones so unlucky? Why are we the only ones trapped in this city while everyone else outside continues living their lives as usual?"
"I'm getting more and more scared. Will we only be able to live in this kind of environment from now on, fighting zombies, hiding here and there, and then dying a pathetic death?"
At this point, Tian Mimi laughed, "No, maybe it's not dying, but becoming the next batch of zombies and then attacking others."
yes.
Their bodies are now full of viruses.
It's also possible that they could turn into zombies like that.
If no solution is found soon, will they really die?
Tian Mimi wiped away her tears. "I went to ask Dr. Cui if this virus could be eradicated, and he said he didn't know either."
"Haha, I was really scared back then."
Tian Mimi was terrified because she was one of the infected people.
Isn't that terrible?
I got infected.
They turned into zombies for no reason.
Ji Zai listened to Tian Mimi's fear and unease, and he knew how flustered she was at that moment.
She understood all too well this kind of insecure behavior.
However, she couldn't offer many guarantees.
Because of the magnetic field, everyone will die.
No one has the right to resist.
Can Ji Zai guarantee that he can save the others?
cannot.
She can barely protect herself now.
Ji Zai said, "It is powerful, but not that powerful. If we can't find a way out by waiting, then we will just destroy it."
"Destruction? That's what I'm best at."
To be honest, Ji Zai really considered wiping out Ning City and reducing the entire city to ashes.
By then, everyone was dead.
Can the zombie virus still exist?
No, it's impossible.
This is the simplest and most direct method.
Destruction can end 100% of trouble.
This has been true from ancient times to the present.
However, every time this idea popped into Ji Zai's head, he hesitated. Destruction could solve 100% of the problem, but that 100% also included the lives lost.
"I'm also confused, what should I do?"
She said, "No one in the world has ever experienced anything like this before; we are the first."
The first people to be affected by the magnetic field.
There was no precedent before this was recorded, so no one told her what to do at this moment.
What should she do in the face of this magnetic field?
Only then can it be broken.
Force?
This question only arose for a moment.
Excessive fear of the unknown is not the style of historical writing.
So she only hesitated for a short while.
And so, new gains were made.
The problem is the magnetic field, the zombies are the problem, killing the zombies is easy, but how do we solve the magnetic field problem?
The magnetic field is constantly changing and strengthening.
So when will the magnetic field weaken?
When will the energy of dark matter in a magnetic field weaken?
As if she had just pierced through a fog, Ji Zai's mind was filled with a magnetic field. She frowned and began to think about the problem.
As she began to think about this problem, her vision suddenly blurred, and her pupils suddenly dilated.
The dust in the air is slowing down.
No, it's not that the dust has slowed down.
Instead, she became faster.
Overthinking can cause Ji Zai's mind to wander, and she becomes aware of everything happening around her.
ah...
The magnetic field strengthens step by step, and the dark matter energy within the magnetic field also accumulates step by step.
What if... what if we monitored this dark matter energy from all angles, and then, after it had completely merged with real objects, we destroyed the carrier?!
Carrier...laboratory.
Ji Zai's mind was racing; yes, it was the laboratory.
She needs to monitor the entire city of Ning first.
And conduct an experiment on dark matter energy.
Ideally, the data should be sent in from outside.
Let Ji Zai confirm his own ideas. If it is confirmed that dark matter energy is indeed carried by experimental subjects, then the way to break the deadlock is in the laboratory.
But is it really possible?
If that's really the case, then it proves something very scary.
That is—the dark matter energy in the magnetic field has a certain degree of dependence.
They specifically target humans as vessels to create disasters.
But can this dark matter energy control objects other than humans?
Ji Zai suddenly had a preliminary idea in his mind.
I feel that the situation is much clearer now.
By examining the energy composition of dark matter within the magnetic field, we can determine how to escape its influence.
It's good if there's a solution.
Ji Zai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When she came to her senses, she saw a row of people standing around her.
Ji Zai was shocked, "I had no idea when you arrived."
When did these noobs become so strong?
They could enter her field silently.
Luan paused for a moment and said, "You were so engrossed in your thoughts that you didn't notice us coming. Look what you've done to the sweet potatoes!"
Ji Zai was being talked about, then looked down and exclaimed, "Good heavens!"
She had already dug out the sweet potato patch.
I saw that little sweet potato.
They even dug out the ancestors of sweet potatoes for eighteen generations, and found that each one was malnourished.
Luan was heartbroken. "Even if you crave sweet potatoes, you can't just uproot their entire family! Look, they're not even adults yet, and you're already sending them out to entertain guests. How can you be so shameless!"
Luan was heartbroken, and when he saw the sweet potato again, his eyes reddened.
This is the sweet potato she's been longing for.
She had been craving roasted sweet potatoes for a long time.
She didn't even have a chance to make a move; instead, she was harmed by Ji Zai.
Ji Zai looked at the poor little sweet potato and was shocked. Seeing the condemning looks from everyone, she was even more shocked. "I didn't, I didn't! Believe me, I really didn't harm the sweet potato! It's so small, there's not even enough to eat. How could I choose to harm it at this time!"
Hearing this, Tian Mimi felt a pang of pain in her heart. "You're lying! If you weren't so greedy, why would your hands have dug it up so honestly? I don't care, you have to give my little sweet potato an explanation!"
Under the strong condemnation of the victims.
Ji Zai has been sanctioned.
Under everyone's gaze, she buried the sweet potato back down, tears streaming down her face.
That's such a pity.
It turns out we can't take it with us.
After the burial was completed, everyone was satisfied and went to farm.
Go check your treasures immediately to see if they've been stolen.
If they do, they would be mortal enemies with thieves.
Can the cabbages on the back hill be stolen?
Ji Zai painfully buried his sweet potato back down, "It hurts so much. I've never experienced anything so painful in my entire life..."
"We've become poorer now."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yi asked, "Poor? What do you want?"
“I want the surveillance data from outside. They placed the Mustard Seed Space in Ning City early on, so they must be closely monitoring the situation in Ning City. I need that data.”
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yi thought for a moment and said, "We can squeeze the shelter a little more. Although it's a bit unethical, we can't rely on them, so it's reasonable for us to rob them."
"Besides, don't we already have a legitimate reason to fight?"
Ouyang Yi heard the whole story from Nan Yao.
Then he glanced at Luan without leaving a trace.
Resources must be used rationally.
Luan had a bad feeling. "What do you want to do?"
Ji Zai understood Ouyang Yi's plan in less than half a second. "I think it's a good idea. After all, we haven't settled accounts with the shelter for what happened last time."
"Wait a minute, what if the shelter reports that Su Ling stopped the news from spreading?"
Ji Zai raised an eyebrow. "That's their fault too. After all, it all belongs to the Su family. It's the same no matter who gets blamed."
That's true.
Everyone remained silent for a moment.
Then, just pretend you don't know.
After all, the shelter should have received news of their raid on the gold mine and the laboratory.
They're probably scared now.
After this incident, Ningmeng's reputation as the villain has become even more prominent.
It directly overshadowed the loudness of the Doomsday BOSS.
At this moment, an unexpected person arrived at the shelter.
Su Mai looked at him, surprised. "Su Ling, why are you here?"
Su Ling lowered her eyes, "Come in and atone for your sins."
Su Mai looked at him, but before she could speak, her phone received a message. Upon seeing the sender, her face turned pale, "Ning Meng!"
Upon hearing this, Su Ling glanced at it and said, "Let's see what they're up to."
Su Mai nodded, then glanced at her phone, and her expression turned horrified.
[Ningmeng Leader: Shelter, regarding my Luan's matter, don't you think you owe compensation?]
