Zhou Qiang felt a little regretful.

I originally thought that with this much, I would be able to have two portions of the original solution.

There is a huge difference between this life essence and genetic fluid, which can be seen at a glance.

After the rich red color was extracted, it turned into a light pink, mixed with some tiny flashes, full of a dreamy feeling.

But other than that there's nothing special.

After putting this thing away and hesitating for a moment, Zhou Qiang also put away the lifeless little red tree.

Of course, it took some effort to pull this thing off the python's head.

Maybe I'll have the chance to use this thing in the future?

What remains are other spoils of war.

Unfortunately, because the range of the explosion was too large and the damage could not be controlled, only three portions of the zombies' genetic fluid could be used.

One of them came from the eight-eyed python with its head intact, and two came from the last Abyss Dweller he killed.

Moreover, the system's final prompt also gave him two sixth-order special zombie fragments. Together with the one given by the death butcher he killed last time, he now has three special sixth-order zombie fragments.

However, the remaining ones are not enough to create a new special zombie, so they can only be accumulated slowly.

Apart from this, there is actually no other gain.

It's somewhat regrettable.

However, a lot of manufacturing points were given, after all, the levels of these guys are not low.

Some gene points were also given.

Now that Peach Blossom Valley has been cleaned up, there is nothing left to stay here.

However, the three women from the collection team finally expressed their desire to go and take a look, hoping they could find something useful.

The clearing operation lasted for two days, and they returned to the camp that afternoon.

As soon as Zhou Qiang landed, he discovered that the atmosphere in the entire camp was particularly wrong.

Restless.

Most people had a look of panic on their faces.

Soon, the women from the collection team came over, and Zhou Qiang learned what had happened from their mouths.

You have to know that because of Zhou Qiang's existence, this camp city has always been immersed in happiness and peace.

Because they were sure Zhou Qiang could protect him.

There is no shortage of food and water.

So what makes them feel that Zhou Qiang can no longer protect them?

As the woman from the collection team slowly told the story, Zhou Qiang finally knew what had happened during the two days he was away.

Plant-type zombies are attacking the area surrounding the camp in large numbers.

Starting two days ago, which was the night they left, the collection team discovered some zombies behaving very abnormally.

These zombies generally have parts of their bodies transformed into plants, and they have become extremely courageous, even daring to directly invade the territory of Tianwei City.

It might be because Zhou Qiang had been hunting the zombies in Tianwei City. After the number of zombies in Tianwei City decreased, there was no zombie frenzy that could impact the camp.

But the zombies that have appeared now have completely overturned people's understanding.

The semi-vegetative and zombie-like form is horrifying.

This abnormal behavior quickly attracted the attention of the sentry tower, and the captured videos were sent back to the camp.

It was only after receiving the video that panic occurred.

Under the management of Ark, the camp is no longer just a simple camp.

In addition to the spread of sentry towers, more small camps were set up to facilitate work as nearby zombies were constantly being cleared.

These small camps are mostly used to facilitate the work of survivors and for rest of the supply search teams.

When the plant-type zombies appear now, these small camps will naturally be the first to be hit.

But these people also knew that they would only be safe if they returned to the base camp, so the survivors in the small camp kept returning to the camp.

Normally, zombies cannot break through these defense lines, but they appeared today. Does that mean that the camp is in danger?

The population of the surrounding camps is quite large, and there are at least 500 people in the base in the south. If they don’t even have time to send the information over, does it mean that more unknown zombies have appeared?

Can Zhou Qiang stop it?

Especially when Zhou Qiang is not around at all.

After all, many people saw how loud Zhou Qiang left.

If there were no unexpected situations, no one would think anything was wrong. After all, everyone knew that every time Zhou Qiang set out, it was to clean up the surrounding environment.

But if there are unexpected situations, who wouldn’t want this guardian angel to protect them in the city?

However, I believe that many people already know that he is back, but he still needs to show up.

Let these people feel at ease.

After a brief tidying up, he asked Mu Xiaoyue to pass the message down and have everyone gather.

Soon the entire somewhat lifeless camp came alive again, and everyone's face was filled with hope again.

This expression reached its peak the moment they saw Zhou Qiang coming out.

"Boss! Some people say there might be a wave of zombies coming this time. Are you sure you can protect everyone?"

"Boss, can you make me stronger?"

"Can you please stop running around at this critical moment? Protect everyone!"

"That's right. We are the only spark of life. You are so powerful, you should protect us!"

“…”

All kinds of words kept coming out.

Although everyone in the camp has always been deeply blessed by Zhou Qiang, you still cannot guarantee that everyone is grateful.

Especially in a world where order has long since collapsed, the dark side of people's hearts will always be infinitely magnified.

Mu Xiaoyue and her group, as well as some members of the collection team sent by the Ark to maintain order, all glared at them.

These people are so ungrateful!

Besides, even if Zhou Qiang is powerful, why would he protect these people? !

However, seeing Zhou Qiang's calm appearance, they still didn't speak.

When the parties involved did not respond, accusations of this level stopped.

After all, one person can't perform a solo show.

After everyone fell silent, Zhou Qiang raised his hand and summoned the flying dragon zombie!

"Anghoo!"

A deafening roar sounded, and many timid people were frightened to the point of sitting down on the ground.

The huge flying dragon zombie slowly retracted its wings and stood beside Zhou Qiang, full of extremely powerful deterrent power.

"Things like zombie tidal waves are inevitable because there will always be more dead humans than living ones. I can't be your lifelong babysitter, and I don't have the responsibility to protect you all the time."

Zhou Qiang's expression was very cold, an expression that no one had ever seen before.

At this time, even Mu Xiaoyue and the others were a little panicked.

But no one dared to speak at this moment. After all, under the gaze of a sixth-level flying dragon zombie, few ordinary people could withstand such pressure.

Looking at the group of people below whose faces had become confused and even desperate, Zhou Qiang spoke again.

"The guard team will now open up the first and second level gene fluid enhancements. Everyone can try it. You can rely on your own strength to protect this base."

Although genetic enhancement has certain risks, the risks are actually proportional to the benefits.

It just depends on whether a person's will is strong.

Mu Xiaoyue and the others looked over in surprise. Before the genetic fluid was strengthened, it had always been controlled by their own people.

Do we really want to give it to these people who don't have much sense of belonging to this base?

However, looking at Zhou Qiang's expression, they also knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.

Mu Xiaoyue pursed her lips, looking a little worried and ugly.

The crowd below was in an uproar and began to discuss in low voices in twos and threes. When they saw that the flying dragon zombies did not stop this, their voices gradually became louder.

Some of these survivors have never killed any zombies and live completely under the protection of others.

The three years of the apocalypse had not made them accustomed to this kind of thing, but now under the pressure of Zhou Qiang they had no choice.

The final result was quite surprising, 85% of the people chose to undergo genetic fluid enhancement, while the results of the rest were somewhat mixed.

"I will go to the base in the south to take a look and clear out some zombies that are nearby. Starting from tomorrow at noon, everyone in the entire base will form a team. Except for the elderly, children, and pregnant women, everyone will go to clear out the zombies!"

After Zhou Qiang finally issued this order, he turned over and jumped onto the back of the flying dragon zombie, rushing towards the south.

Maybe he could be lucky enough to find the materials to upgrade to level seven?

The flying dragon zombie was flying at a low altitude, and it saw that the number of zombies on the ground had indeed increased a lot compared to before.

Moreover, most of these guys had some abnormal behaviors, just like the uncoordinated body of the eight-eyed python he had seen before.

He released several Death Storm Butterflies, and killed a lot of zombies along the way just like shooting at targets.

Then, he saw the southern base in the distance.

Of course he had been to the base here before, but overall he was not particularly familiar with it.

But now this base has been completely destroyed.

The city walls had been completely destroyed by something unknown, and there was black smoke coming out of the center of the base. Zombies were everywhere, and there was no trace of human presence at all.

The most eye-catching thing is that a plant that is ten meters long appeared in the ruins.

The plant is dark red all over, with shiny branches and some thorns. At the top is a huge flower head that spreads outwards. In fact, you can see some tiny seed-like things slowly floating down inside.

If you shrink the size of this guy a few hundred times, you will get the image of an ordinary dandelion.

Those fallen seeds took root as soon as they hit the ground. When they landed on the zombies' heads, they grew straight down and began to parasitize.

In the distance, there were still many zombies rushing towards this direction. The air was filled with a faint sound, as if they were calling or crying.

Looking down from the sky, you can easily see the location under the white seeds.

There were no ordinary flower receptacles there, but human faces one after another, struggling in pain.

That somewhat ethereal voice came from these human faces.

[Zombie Ghost Bush]: The more people it eats, the stronger it becomes. The dead will be assimilated. Its bewitching voice can attract lost beings. When it matures, seeds will appear. Once the seeds pierce the skin and drill into the body, ordinary people will begin to lose their nature and be controlled by the Ghost Bush, while zombies will be directly affected in their habits and become more crazy.

Level 3 plant zombie.

Zhou Qiang was a little disappointed.

The third level has no value at all. That kind of seed probably can't even break his defense.

However, when looking at the zombies gathered around this plant, a strong murderous intent flashed in Zhou Qiang's eyes.

"Death Storm!"

A strong fan-shaped flame fell from the sky. The huge plant shook wildly and even pulled out two roots and began to move on the ground.

It is conceivable that this guy's original posture should not have been like this.

It was only after it ate many people in this base that it became this huge in size.

Imagine that a living plant suddenly crawled onto your body and was brought into the base without you noticing. How terrifying would that be?

The range of his attack was very clear, he was attacking directly at the roots of the plant.

Although its utilization value is not great, its research value still exists.

He could give the original liquid of this thing to the people in Tianwei City for research, and perhaps they could figure out something.

As a level 6 zombie, he was able to gain an overwhelming victory by bullying this level 3 zombie. Soon, the magic cattail stopped moving.

This time he casually used a syringe to poke a hole next to the guy's body, and sure enough, he extracted the original vital fluid.

It was still that familiar light pink color, as if the blood had been diluted.

After putting away the life essence, he began to clean up the zombies around him.

He had just observed that there were no living people in this base.

The area around the base was cleaned up, and after Mopu died, the zombies returned to their previous nature and began to move away from this area.

After making sure there were no omissions, Zhou Qiang searched the base for some useful things and then rode back on his flying dragon.

Of course when he left, he did not forget to ask Feilong to capture the body of the plant zombie and bring it back.

The people in Tianwei City were shocked when they saw the appearance of this plant, because it was the first time for everyone to see a zombie in this posture.

Even if Zhou Qiang hadn't said it himself, these people probably wouldn't know what this thing was.

It is clearly a plant-like body, but it still has the characteristics of a zombie.

After throwing this thing to the researchers and asking them to observe it, Zhou Qiang began to patrol the territory on his flying dragon.

He even released all the zombies under his command to clean up the surrounding area.

However, in order to prevent sneak attacks from these unpredictable plant zombies, he assigned two zombies to each team.

As long as one of them has a problem, the other will be able to pass the information to him quickly, and he will rush over as soon as possible.

At this time, he already had a lot of sixth-level zombie fragments in his hands, six Abyss Dweller fragments, and four Death Butcher fragments. With a little more effort, he could create them.

He clicked on the message from the Abyss Man and his brows suddenly frowned.

[Due to the unlocking of the branch quest, the conditions for manufacturing the sixth-level zombies have changed. Each manufacturing requires 100 kilograms of special metal]

Compared with the previous conditions, one hundred kilograms of special metal was added.
