Chapter 707 The Effects of Blue Liquid
Unbeknownst to them, only five days remained before the arrival of the zombie king's army of the dead.
The people in the ice city have officially entered a state of combat readiness.
These past five days have been filled with anxiety and trepidation; it hasn't been an easy time for anyone...
...
Inside the ice villa, Fatty was feeling a bit irritable, so he dragged Lao Wu to find Qingfa and Jinfa.
He had to do something to distract himself.
If he continues to be immersed in this tense atmosphere, he will really go crazy during these last five days!
...
As usual, Xiao Zhao went out early in the morning to continue training the new recruits.
He wouldn't let any possibility of victory slip by; the more qualified soldiers he trained, the longer he could hold out in this icy city...
Cheng Shenghong and Lao Wu's group also went to the training ground to spar.
These individuals had just completed their last evolution a few days prior and needed to quickly familiarize themselves with and master the new abilities that came with the evolutionary advancement!
...
At noon, Han Shuo returned from Feng's side and saw that Li Shurou had just returned to pick up her things. After thinking for a moment, he pushed open her door.
"Huh? Han Shuo, is there something you need?"
When Li Shurou saw Han Shuo come in, she turned her head and casually asked him a question. She then picked up a document from the table and prepared to return to her workplace.
Before Han Shuo could reply, she quickly added, "If you're alright, I'll be going now. Dr. Lin is waiting to see this document."
...
"Shurou, wait a moment."
At this moment, Han Shuo called Li Shurou to a stop from behind.
Li Shurou looked puzzled, but Han Shuo had a very serious expression on his face. His next words made her expression change instantly.
"Shurou, give me the blue liquid!"
"What!"
Li Shurou gasped in surprise, almost not reacting at all.
She cautiously stepped aside and asked tentatively.
"What are you trying to do? Didn't I already tell you? Feng can't inject blue liquid. Even if he wants it, you can't bring it to him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shuo's serious expression remained unchanged, but he did not reply.
This scene made Li Shurou instantly realize what was happening. She stared wide-eyed and exclaimed in disbelief.
"It wasn't the wind that wanted it?"
"Could it be... that you intend to use it yourself!?"
...
"call--!"
Han Shuo let out a deep breath and nodded.
As soon as he responded, Li Shurou roared angrily.
She shouted loudly, but fortunately, the fat man and the others from the Ice Villa were not there at that moment.
"No! Absolutely not!"
"The fat guy told me a long time ago that you would undergo the mutation of the 10th evolution."
"Your body is already at its limit at level 9.5! Last time it almost killed you. Without reaching the top evolution, injecting blue liquid is just courting death, isn't it?"
Han Shuo waved his hand, signaling Li Shurou to calm down.
He walked forward with a smile, placed his hands on the other person's shoulders, and said with a laugh.
“Shurou, I once saw the director inject the blue liquid and he didn’t die on the spot. I know that the blue liquid can temporarily enhance the combat power of highly evolved genetic humans.”
"Although the price was incredibly high..."
"But we can't let such a good thing go to waste, can we?"
"Now, apart from the wind, I am the strongest person in Ice City. I need this blue liquid as my ultimate trump card against the Zombie King!"
Unfortunately, no matter how much he tried to persuade her, Li Shurou did not change her mind.
She shook off Han Shuo's arm and continued to shout anxiously.
"That won't do! Your trump card doesn't have to come at the cost of your life!"
"Did you know? During this time, Dr. Lin and I have roughly estimated the effects of the blue liquid!"
"This blue liquid is inherently an extremely unstable substance!"
"It can grant people superhuman regenerative abilities, completely unleashing their brains. Once injected, the brain controls accelerated cell division, continuously generating new cells, thus giving the body a continuous stream of immense power! It can even be said that this enhancement completely surpasses the limits that the human body can withstand!"
Upon hearing this, Han Shuo's face instantly lit up with ecstasy.
He was about to interrupt when Li Shurou waved her hand to stop him!
"What I just mentioned were the benefits of the blue liquid! These benefits are indeed enormous for genetically advanced humans who have achieved top-level evolution!"
"But you haven't met the prerequisites for using it!"
"With your level 9.5 evolved body, your brain hasn't reached its full potential. If you use the blue liquid, there will be irreversible consequences!"
...
"What's going on?" Han Shuo frowned and asked.
Before she knew it, Li Shurou had also become a little excited.
She wanted Han Shuo to back down, so she continued to persuade him.
"To put it simply, after reaching the highest level of evolution, the brain is essentially given a switch! After injecting the blue liquid, one can freely control whether the cells in the body undergo accelerated division!"
"After you inject the blue liquid, because there is no switch, you will not be able to control your cells to stop accelerating division through your brain. At that time, everything will be completely out of your control!"
"You should know that the rapid division of new cells also means that weakened cells will die faster! Once your body's functions are exhausted and the two cannot be kept in balance, your death is not far away!"
"With your level 9.5 physique, you can certainly last longer than the previous director, but you still can't escape death in the end!"
...
Upon hearing Li Shurou's words, Han Shuo smiled.
Because he had already prepared himself for this outcome, and he had long anticipated it.
He placed his hands back on Li Shurou's shoulders, and his mood suddenly turned melancholy as he spoke.
"Shurou, I know, I know everything you're saying..."
"However, with my current combat strength, I really have no confidence at all when facing the Zombie King."
"I don't want to be a burden. This blue liquid can give me some confidence!"
"Besides... whether I use this blue liquid or not, if we lose this battle, won't we all still die?"
"So, just hand over the blue liquid to me. Don't worry, I promise you, I will never use it rashly until the very last moment."
"After all... I value my life quite a bit, don't I?"
...
"you--!"
Li Shurou pointed at Han Shuo, so angry that she didn't know what to say.
He also understood that Han Shuo was stubborn and once he made up his mind, no amount of persuasion from others could change his mind.
The next moment, she was too lazy to argue with Han Shuo any longer. She threw the well-preserved blue liquid syringe at him, left a sentence, and angrily left the room.
"Here you go! Hmph! Whether you live or die is none of our business."
Han Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the blue liquid syringe in his hand, and suddenly remembered something, so he quickly added a sentence from the back.
"Shurou, remember to keep this a secret for me, and whatever you do, don't tell Fatty and the others!"
