Chapter 367 Changing the Route
Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.
During these five days, Han Shuo and his group did not travel at a very fast pace.
After all, they had a tanker truck at the very back of their convoy.
If this tanker truck were to have an accident on the road, it would not only destroy all their hard work, but could also cause unnecessary casualties.
After all, the explosion of an entire tank of fuel is no joke.
However, although their speed was much slower, given the number of days they had to travel, Han Shuo and his group still managed to reach the central and western regions of this territory from the south in just a few days.
During this time, apart from the zombie Han Shuo, he didn't see a single living person.
This shows just how bad the situation is here.
Of course, the zombie hordes they encountered on the road did not pose a significant threat to them at this moment.
And so, they managed to get through the five days safely.
Oh right, just last night, Li Shurou painstakingly purified all the turbid liquid again.
Cheng Shenghong naturally gave it to the five brothers first, and kept the rest for the time being.
Meanwhile, Han Shuo, at the fat man's repeated requests, finally completed his third genetic modification.
Li Shurou originally intended to let him postpone it a little longer, since only a week had passed since the fat man's last injection of the turbid fluid.
Then, the fat man resorted to crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide, saying that he could never be weaker than Xiao Zhao.
Throughout his life, aside from listening to Han Shuo the most, Xiao Zhao had always followed Fatty's lead.
According to the fat guy, his underlings are all level 3 evolved genetically modified humans, while he, the second eldest brother, is still only level 2...
He felt that this would definitely damage his image.
In short, he didn't want to do it; he wanted to become stronger and couldn't be outdone by Xiao Zhao.
That fat guy is such a clever little devil, acting like he could beat Xiao Zhao just because he's on the same level as him...
In the end, Li Shurou couldn't resist his persistent pleading, and this morning, before everyone set off, she injected the fat man with the turbid fluid needed for the third gene modification.
No adverse reactions occurred during this period.
And so, Han Shuo's small team of 16 people all became genetically modified humans, and the number of Level 3 evolved combatants in the team increased from one to two.
This is a small team with extremely strong overall capabilities. They are protected by the super-powerful Feng, led by the high-level combatant Han Shuo, and each of the rest of them has the ability to protect themselves.
Most importantly, all 16 of them were united, with no one harboring ill intentions, and the atmosphere within the team was very harmonious.
This is extremely rare in the complex and chaotic world of the end times...
...
That evening, Han Shuo led everyone to a temporary encampment, just like he always did.
Before dinner, he planned to help Fatty get used to his Level 3 evolved body and practice his ability to withstand blows.
Before he could begin his careful instruction, he saw Li Shurou walking quickly over.
"Waaaaah, Rou-mei, please save me!"
The fat man was in a bad mood, and he pleaded for help with a mournful face.
Li Shurou rolled her eyes at him, ignored him, and spoke directly.
"You two can continue later. I have something to tell you."
"Oh? What is it?"
Han Shuo asked in confusion and temporarily disengaged from his fighting stance.
Li Shurou didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.
"It's about the blue liquid."
“In the past few days, I have been taking time to do some research every day, but I haven’t had any good results yet.”
"Han Shuo, compared to ordinary turbid liquid, the internal structure of this blue liquid is obviously much more complex. I need a better environment and better equipment to conduct a deeper analysis."
After hearing this, Han Shuo immediately understood.
He frowned, and the image of Qingyu unconsciously came to mind.
After a moment of silence, he shook his head with a wry smile and muttered to himself helplessly.
"Sigh, I wasn't planning on going to join Brother Qingyu's group, but now it seems I have no choice but to go..."
As expected, the instrument in Li Shurou's hand was still too rudimentary.
He knew that if he wanted to fully understand the Blue Liquid, he would definitely have to go to Qingyu's place.
After all, when they evacuated that day, all the important equipment and data inside the underground research institute were taken out by people arranged in advance by Chief Steward Wang.
These things should all be with the main force now.
At Qingyu's place, there are not only researchers with more advanced skills like Dr. Lin, but also some large-scale instruments with complete functions.
Han Shuo couldn't refuse the request made by Li Shurou.
He was determined to find out the specifics of the blue liquid.
Because this was the last thing Director Yue Zongyang handed him, and this blue liquid was far more important than that black identity card.
If we could thoroughly analyze this blue liquid with Qingyu.
So now they have another path to choose from, and a crucial trump card...
...
At this moment, while Han Shuo was pondering this matter, he no longer had the mind to help the fat man practice his ability to withstand blows.
He left a message, turned around, and walked into the room.
"Hmm... okay, Shurou, I understand. I'll go discuss our next route with Brother Yaonan right away."
The fat man watched Han Shuo's departing figure, and tears almost welled up in his eyes as he laughed.
How did he manage to dodge that beating?
Li Shurou's unintentional action unexpectedly helped her a lot.
Thinking of this, the fat man winked and flirted with Li Shurou.
When Li Shurou saw this, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she covered her mouth and laughed non-stop.
These two people probably reached some kind of agreement without even realizing it.
The two of them were probably going to... stay up all night until dawn...
After all, genetically engineered humans should have excellent physical qualities in all aspects.
...
In this way, Han Shuo and Cheng Shenghong quickly reached a consensus.
That very evening at dinner, the two announced to everyone their decision to temporarily change their route.
No one voiced any objection; they all knew how important this matter was.
The happiest of them all was Xiao Zhao, who had thought that because they were heading in different directions, he would hardly see Captain Qingyu again.
This last-minute decision to change the route greatly excited him.
That night, he felt like he would wake up laughing from his dreams...
...
The next day, the group set off again.
Following the markings on the map, Han Shuo led the group forward at the front of the convoy.
This mark was the last place Qingyu drew for him, a place they might go.
Han Shuo couldn't afford to miss this opportunity again. He didn't know if he would run into Qing Yu there, but he had to give it a try.
Because, going further down the line, once they leave this territory and arrive abroad, trying to gather the Qingyu group again would truly be like finding a needle in a haystack.
And just like that, two more days passed in the blink of an eye.
However, just as they were about to reach their destination, a mutation occurred!
