Under the gaze of everyone, the old man drank up the bottle of Wahaha Nutri-Express.
Then he let out a breath and almost collapsed in his chair.
Zhou Qiang didn't urge him either.
Chen Guoye, a senior expert engaged in naval equipment research, has dedicated his entire life to Longguo. He is definitely a national treasure.
It’s a pity that the end of the world has come, and coupled with the fact that mutated creatures in the ocean are the most rampant, humans currently have nothing but fear of the ocean.
A person who studies naval equipment naturally becomes a useless person.
After a few minutes, the bald man became a little anxious.
"You old man, are you still breathing?"
"Just make a sound when you can breathe. Who do you think you are and make the boss wait for you?"
He sneered: "If it weren't for the boss, you wouldn't survive tomorrow."
Chen Guoye raised his head with difficulty. He was old and had been hungry for a long time, so even water was a luxury.
No matter how capable you are, you can only be at the bottom in this end times where force is respected.
This is the most unfriendly era to geniuses.
"You...you ask."
Chen Guoye took a breath and said with difficulty.
Zhou Qiang sighed softly, thinking of the time when making missiles was not as good as selling tea eggs, and the sorrow of so many people.
"Finish drinking this glucose before you talk."
Zhou Qiang took out another tube of glucose and handed it to him.
Zhou Qiang has a lot of miscellaneous things like this in his storage space.
Li Ying's purchasing company has now grown to be very large, with hundreds of employees.
The entire company serves Zhou Qiang.
Countless resources are continuously purchased to the warehouse, and Zhou Qiang only needs to go there regularly to harvest them.
After accumulating for a period of time, Zhou Qiang's storage space is like a treasure box.
Chen Guoye drank the glucose and soon saw the effect.
His pale face regained some color and he said, "What do you want to ask?"
"Xiaoxue, open the national map."
Zhou Qiang issued instructions to his personal smart terminal, and the artificial intelligence Xiaoxue inside executed Zhou Qiang's instructions.
A national map was expanded to 65 inches through a virtual light screen.
"Mr. Chen, I want to know where all the possible bases for the Sea King-class submarines to rest and recuperate."
"Including possible locations for its maintenance, supplies, etc."
Before the end of the world, all of these were state secrets.
If an ordinary person were to inquire about this, he would be immediately under surveillance. Once there was any unusual movement, prison life would surely be delicious.
But now nothing matters anymore. If you ask around, you can even think of getting the Neptune-class submarine.
Even if you get it, who will pursue it?
In the end times, the country only exists in people’s hearts. Before a new order is established, there will no longer be a country.
Chen Guoye looked at Zhou Qiang indifferently and remained silent.
Zhou Qiang was not in a hurry either.
For him, regardless of whether Longguo exists or not, he still has faith and bottom line in his heart.
Everyone in the room suddenly fell silent.
About two or three minutes later, Chen Guoye showed a dejected look on his face, with a bitter smile on his face: "The country is gone. This is an end of the world that is more terrible than the chaotic world."
"The ocean is even more overrun with mutant creatures. Even if a submarine enters the ocean, it will be in great danger."
"For the nuclear bomb on the submarine?"
"Well, I'm an old man who doesn't even know when I'm going to die. What's the point of keeping all these secrets?"
"Besides, if you really want to check, you will definitely find it."
In the Internet age, the age of information exposure, nothing is really secret.
In fact, these submarine bases have been recorded and photographed in large numbers and posted on the Internet.
The difference is that it’s only the peripheral pictures.
The information inside is still confidential and difficult to be leaked.
But the young man in front of him was sincere in going there. Now it was the end of the world and there were only zombies. After he cleaned up the zombies inside, he could wander around freely.
The so-called secret is just a joke.
It was because he understood this that he no longer worried about his bottom line.
He struggled to stand up, then continued to stretch the map on the virtual light screen projected by Zhou Qiang, and then marked twenty-one locations along the coast.
"If you are looking for the Sea King-class submarines, there are only these twenty-one submarine bases."
"Because the Sea King-class submarine is so huge, it is called an underwater aircraft carrier and an underwater mobile fortress. It cannot be docked in an ordinary submarine base."
"There are only ten Dragon Kingdom ships in total. Whether you can encounter one depends on luck."
"This is the most important part of nuclear strike capability."
"Generally speaking, Sea King-class submarines will carry out silent missions in the sea, sometimes not visiting a port for several years."
A submarine, in silence, is unaware of anything happening in the outside world.
You will only know when you receive information from time to time.
But what will happen when they find themselves in the end of the world? Or will they be attacked by mutated creatures in the ocean?
It's hard to say.
Zhou Qiang touched his chin and looked at the light spot pointed out by Chen Guoye.
The nearest one is more than 400 kilometers away.
Some are even more than 10,000 kilometers away.
Don't forget, this is Blue Planet, a planet that is ten times larger than the modern Earth.
The population of Dragon Country alone has exceeded 10 billion.
If you think about it this way, twenty-one submarine bases are actually too few, and ten Poseidon-class submarines are also too few. Trying to find it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"It's not like I have to get it."
"Let it be!"
Zhou Qiang just wanted to provide some convenience to the Twelve Disciples and to strengthen them.
With only ten ships, Zhou Qiang didn't even have much hope.
Of course, I am alone now, so it is indeed a bit difficult. But when there are more people in the future, maybe I will make some discoveries?
"This is for you."
However, Zhou Qiang took out a bottle of mammoth's genetic fluid from the storage space and handed it to Chen Guoye.
Zhou Qiang has plenty of these things.
Chen Guoye was stunned. He didn't expect Zhou Qiang to give him a gene fluid.
Genetic fluid means that one can join the ranks of extraordinary people.
The most basic requirement to survive in this apocalypse is to become a transcendent.
Only after you have the strength to fight zombies can you talk about your ideals and your struggles.
"Why give it to me?"
Chen Guoye did not come to get it immediately.
Zhou Qiang said: "If I say I pay tribute to everything you have done for Dragon Country, do you believe it?"
"letter!"
Chen Guoye took the genetic fluid. He couldn't imagine any other reason except this one.
Liu Zhenning and the others looked at Zhou Qiang's behavior and were somewhat confused.
However, they would not have any reaction to a mere first-level genetic fluid.
Liu Zhenning has hundreds of them in his hands, which he mainly uses to reward survivors with good performance. He will use genetic fluid to win them over and make them his loyal subordinates.
What is truly precious is the genetic fluid after the second stage.
Becoming a first-level transcendent doesn’t mean you can kill everyone you want.
When facing a second-order mutated zombie, a first-order extraordinary person will still be in great danger.
But with one more extraordinary person, they can kill the first-level mutated zombies through cooperation or multi-person combat, thereby continuously increasing the number of survivors who become extraordinary people.
In the long run, all human beings will eventually become extraordinary beings.
Chen Guoye opened the genetic fluid and injected it directly here.
For a moment, his face was filled with pain.
The genetic evolution time of a first-level extraordinary person is very short. In less than two minutes, he recovered to normal.
His skin color was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning rosy.
He is still a little thin, but it does not prevent him from becoming an extraordinary person.
"Thanks!"
Chen Guoye said to Zhou Qiang solemnly.
Zhou Qiang gave him the genetic fluid, which was not just a matter of saving his life, but a grace of saving his life and giving him a new life.
Soldiers value loyalty, so Chen Guoye has already regarded Zhou Qiang as someone for whom he can die.
Zhou Qiang said: "Live well. An old horse still has ambitions to run a thousand miles. The fact that you have survived until now shows that your willpower is far greater than others. I believe you will definitely write your own legend."
Chen Guoye clenched his fist and said, "Thank you."
There were tears in his tiger eyes.
At this moment, he was full of hope for this end of the world.
In fact, Zhou Qiang also has a little selfish motive.
If we make friends with such a great naval equipment researcher, will we be able to get something out of him in the future?
[Intense danger is approaching! ]
【It comes from underground! 】
【Countdown 1 minute and 30 seconds.】
The sudden prompt sound completely stunned Zhou Qiang.
The person who can make the zombie manufacturing system remind him is definitely not a simple person.
Danger?
What dangers are there here?
Suddenly, Zhou Qiang's hair exploded, and a Tang sword and a shield appeared out of thin air in his hands.
The warning sounded that the danger came from underground.
This ruled out the possibility that Liu Zhenning and the others wanted to take action against him.
Besides, Zhou Qiang can easily deal with their strength, so how could they pose a danger to him?
From underground.
What could this be?
"Danger is approaching, be prepared."
Zhou Qiang threw down a sentence, rushed out, and then stepped onto the back of the lightning thorn armor.
"Walk!"
Lightning Thorns' limbs exploded, and it flew like a bolt of lightning.
Everything happened so fast, so fast that Liu Zhenning and others didn't understand why Zhou Qiang was crazy.
Even the extraordinary people stationed outside the cave did not react.
Thinking of what Zhou Qiang said, Liu Zhenning and the others all changed their expressions.
The danger that is worthy of being warned by someone as powerful as Zhou Qiang must be not simple.
"Chief, what should we do?"
The bald man was a little undecided.
Liu Zhenning gritted his teeth and said, "Start the alarm."
He believes in Zhou Qiang.
There was no need to lie to them about Zhou Qiang's identity and strength.
What's more, this Zhou Qiang is too mysterious.
Weird mount.
This terrifying evil eye.
It seems to have some kind of storage space that they don't know about?
This casts a veil of mystery over Zhou Qiang.
Liu Zhenning chose to believe Zhou Qiang based on the inexplicable intuition Zhou Qiang gave him.
"yes!"
The bald man clicked several times on his personal smart terminal.
“Woo…”
The piercing alarm sounded, startling the entire settlement.
"What happened?"
"Are there zombies attacking?"
"I haven't heard any news from the outpost."
"Run, the zombies are coming."
"It's over, it's over. I don't know how many more people will die."
“Run!”
The survivors and extraordinary people in the settlement were all in chaos.
The sudden alarm made everyone stunned for the first moment, and then they wanted to escape regardless of the consequences.
A settlement of 70,000 to 80,000 people has almost become like a headless fly.
There were more extraordinary people who picked up their weapons and put on armor quickly.
Even some of the survivors were holding guns.
The cries and shouts mixed into a clamor.
The direction Zhou Qiang ran towards was a higher place here.
Only in this way can you see more clearly.
The lightning armor was very fast and it put Zhou Qiang on the top of the mountain in a moment.
"boom!"
There was a slight sound coming from underground, very small.
If it were someone else, they might not be able to hear it.
But with Zhou Qiang’s current strength, his hearing is naturally not bad.
This slight sound was still heard.
boom!
There was another noise, louder this time.
In just ten seconds, all the extraordinary people above level three felt the vibration coming from underground.
"It's underground, it's underground!"
“Was there an earthquake?”
"Is there a monster?"
"Such a vibration, could it be that a zombie tide is coming?"
It’s a pity that no one can give an answer.
boom!
With this sound, the rumbling sound could no longer be covered up and reached everyone's ears.
All I saw was that on the mountainside, the mountain was broken into pieces and the soil was turning outward.
The next moment, a mutated rat-like creature the size of half a house appeared, then suddenly jumped out, covered in mud, and immediately pounced on several survivors who were nearby.
These survivors never dreamed that such a large mutated rat-like creature would rush out from under their feet.
In a daze, they only felt a huge shadow looming over them.
A fishy and stinky smell came and woke them up.
But this mutated rat was too fast. It opened its mouth and a long tongue appeared. The survivors were rolled up by its tongue. As the tongue contracted at lightning speed, the survivors were forced into its mouth.
The head was slightly depressed, and there was a "click" sound.
"ah……"
A scream was heard, but it was very short.
Because they were chewed up by the sharp teeth of the mutated rat creature and swallowed into its stomach in one gulp.
The mutated rat's eyes were bloodshot and cold without any expression. It was like a machine without any emotions. It had no fear of this place. When facing the survivors here, it was more like it had found food.
The few survivors were just its appetizer.
The place where it appeared was the area where the survivors lived most densely, so it didn't need to make any big movements. It opened its mouth and kept moving its tongue in and out, rolling up the terrified survivors one by one and dragging them into its mouth, then biting them with its sharp little teeth, breaking them into pieces and swallowing them.
Like a meal, sometimes one survivor is eaten, sometimes several are eaten together.
Its head kept popping out, and its tongue was as fast as lightning, accurately wrapping around the fleeing survivor each time.
To Zhou Qiang, it felt a bit like an anteater.
The small tongue kept rolling, and ants were sucked into its mouth one by one, at a fast speed and high frequency... a whole nest of ants was not enough for it to eat up in a moment.
This mutated rat-like creature in front of us is just like that.
In just a few seconds, dozens of survivors were eaten by it.
Only now did the screams of the survivors become one mixed together, and everyone was fleeing for their lives in terror.
Zhou Qiang frowned.
"Those who can give warnings of danger are definitely difficult to deal with."
This mutated rat-like creature has extremely smooth fur, long and sharp claws, and thin and sharp teeth in its open mouth.
It seems to be a combination of a mouse and an anteater?
“Bang!”
Just as Zhou Qiang was observing.
Another noise was heard from the mountainside not far away, and mud splashed. Another mutated rat-like creature crawled out of the mountain. Its long tongue spanned more than ten meters and wrapped around the two survivors who were fleeing from the path.
“Whoosh!”
Amid the terrified screams of the two survivors, it picked them up and dragged them back into its open mouth.
“Crack!”
Scarlet blood splattered and two more survivors died.
Zhou Qiang’s eyes widened.
Damn it!
One is enough of a headache, and now a second one has come.
