Chapter 226 Dawn or Nightmare?
Han Shuo did not question Li Shurou's analysis, because he had asked Qingyu about the differences in human genes at each stage of evolution before.
However, it wasn't as detailed as Li Shurou's account.
He thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Hmm... Shurou, if that's the case, then the enhancement from level 2 evolution should be more focused on support effects."
"Yes, simply put, if there is a Level 3 evolved human in the team, the improvement brought by it is definitely greater than that of three Level 2 evolved human beings."
After Li Shurou finished speaking, she remained silent, because she knew that although she had made a suggestion, the final decision still rested with Han Shuo.
"I agree with Shurou's decision." This time, the fat man didn't fool around and said seriously.
"Yes, I think Sister Shurou is right. If there is a Level 3 evolved human in the team, we should be able to fight back even if we face the arrogant King again."
Han Shuo nodded and made a decision immediately.
"Okay, Shurou, we'll do as you say. Let us know when the turbid liquid you need is purified."
Li Shurou's face lit up with joy, and she quickly agreed.
"Okay, if all goes well, it will be purified by this afternoon, or at the latest by tomorrow."
That concludes the matter.
Han Shuo did not continue to discuss the next steps with the others, because he knew that the opportunity for level 3 evolution would definitely fall to him.
He did not refuse, because it seemed that he was indeed the strongest in the team when he was holding the Tang sword.
Xiao Zhao was no less capable, but as a sniper in the team, he had fewer opportunities to confront zombies head-on.
And so, that evening, the purification of the turbid liquid was completed, and Han Shuo led Wai Di into the gene modification department.
Unsurprisingly, Wai Di became the fourth genetically engineered human in the team, while Han Shuo evolved directly to level 3.
At this time, Han Shuo's condition was not very good.
While his vision and sense of smell improved by more than double, the improvement in his hearing actually brought him some trouble.
He could hear it from further away, and the chaotic, noisy sounds also reached his ears.
For a moment, the noise actually annoyed him.
"Sigh, it seems that improved hearing isn't all that great. I'm afraid I'll be having trouble sleeping for the next few days."
However, the improvement in his reaction speed delighted Han Shuo. As he walked out, he glanced into the distance.
"After I get used to it for a few days, I'm afraid Brother Qingyu won't be a match for me."
"Also, next time I see Wang Bahu from up there, I should be able to put up a fight!"
...
In the following days, Han Shuo spent his time adapting to his enhanced body and reviewing the documents that Li Shurou had brought back.
The information was quite varied, but it was all useful.
For example, Han Shuo was engrossed in reading the heterogeneous data.
However, he always felt something was off, as this document contained information about various alien species.
Among them was the giant zombie made of withered tree bark that they had encountered at the military base last time.
However, no matter how hard Han Shuo searched, he couldn't find any information about this alien species being able to talk.
"Strange, strange. Fatty clearly said last time that this giant zombie can talk, so why wasn't it recorded?"
"Even if the fat man is being unreasonable, he knows his limits and shouldn't be lying."
"Could it be that the one we encountered last time was somewhat special?"
Han Shuo is currently unable to figure out this problem.
However, he didn't dwell on it any longer, because he wanted to memorize as many of the characteristics of all the different species in the data as possible.
Only in this way can we formulate the most prudent battle plan based on the enemy's weaknesses when we encounter them again on our next mission...
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."
Before we knew it, another month had passed.
On this day, in a room filled with a variety of instruments.
Yue Zongyang stood in front of the screen with a solemn expression.
His right hand was touching a red button.
"Director, there are only five minutes left until the agreed time with other countries!"
The voice of Steward Wang came from behind.
"Yes, I know. After so much preparation, this day has finally come!"
Yue Zongyang continued.
"Wang Zhen, has the problem at the nuclear explosion center been resolved?"
"Director, it's resolved. The source of nuclear contamination has been completely buried."
"Good! The source has been identified, so only the nuclear radiation in the air remains!"
"yes!"
"Also, Director, countless zombies have been discovered in that territory, including a huge number of mutant species!"
"Hmph! This is an inevitable consequence of the nuclear explosion; he... he'll definitely go!"
After the sound faded, Steward Wang remained silent.
His expression was also very solemn, because Chief Steward Wang knew very well what the "he" the director was referring to meant.
Silence fell over the room.
The countdown on the screen kept ticking.
4 minutes, 3 minutes, 2 minutes...
The moment the timer reset to zero, Yue Zongyang's expression changed, and he decisively pressed the red button in his hand.
The moment Yue Zongyang pressed the red button.
Above the underground research institute, launch ports were opened one after another.
Subsequently, one device after another filled with trace elements rose into the air from the launch port.
If you could stand on a cloud and look down right now, you would find:
Not only in the underground research institute, but also in other corners of the world, similar devices are constantly being launched and lifted into the air...
When these devices reach a certain height.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."
All the devices exploded simultaneously within seconds of each other, releasing all the trace elements inside into the air.
These are the results of joint research and development by dozens of countries, and are also the necessary conditions for resolving this nuclear radiation issue!
Inside the underground research institute, it was still the same room as before.
At this moment, Yue Zongyang and Manager Wang stared intently at the large screen in front of them, neither of them saying a word.
After an unknown amount of time, Manager Wang shouted excitedly.
"It's gone down! It's gone down! Director, Director! The radiation levels have dropped!"
Yue Zongyang's face grew even more excited.
He collapsed onto the chair behind him, completely exhausted.
He knew he had succeeded. After 11 months, he had finally collaborated with other countries to successfully produce all the trace elements that could neutralize nuclear radiation.
Even more successfully, it accelerated the decline of nuclear radiation...
"Good! Good! Good! Wang Zhen, pass on the word: the underground research institute will be reopened in one month, and we will see the dawn again!"
"yes!"
...
Meanwhile, in a dimly lit corner not far from the epicenter of the nuclear explosion.
A pair of pure white eyes opened again!
He looked up at the sky, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Oh? It's even faster than I expected."
"That's unexpected..."
"However, Yue Zongyang! You must understand that for you humans, this is not the beginning of hope, but the arrival of a nightmare!"
The Zombie King slowly emerged from the corner, this time heading straight for the underground research institute.
Behind him, an endless stream of zombies followed closely...
