Although it was a longer route, it wouldn't take the two of them long.
When the two arrived around the military survivor base, they found that the people inside were quite busy.
Armored vehicles carrying large quantities of ammunition headed in one direction.
They were heading towards the city center. Gu Lingchuan and Gu Lingxiao exchanged a glance, both having a bad feeling: "Could it be that they really intend to hunt down that alien?"
Gu Lingxiao ignored Gu Lingchuan's mutterings and said, "Let's go take a look."
The two bypassed the military survivor base. Gu Lingchuan had originally intended to greet the military and then trade with them after gathering information.
Let's see what these armored vehicles are going to do first.
The two followed the armored convoy for several hours until they arrived at the edge of the city, where a clearing had been created.
Many armored vehicles had their missile launchers raised, pointing towards the city.
"If no other targets are detected during this time, it's highly likely that these missiles are aimed at that giant alien," Gu Lingchuan rubbed his temples. They had only wanted to get some basic information about the monster, but now it seemed they wouldn't have the chance.
Missile bombardment is something neither he nor Gu Lingxiao can withstand; they absolutely cannot take the risk.
"We need to find out what happened in between. Let's go back and find Hua Zhiyuan first," Gu Lingchuan finally decided.
The two eventually returned to the military survivor base. The guard at the entrance recognized Gu Lingxiao, and after a short wait, he was led to a room to wait.
They waited for an hour, during which time people kept coming to refill their tea. It was almost two hours before Hua Zhiyuan finally arrived.
"I'm so sorry to have kept you both waiting. I've been very busy lately," Hua Zhiyuan said as he sat down opposite the two men, with only Zhong Jiahao following behind him.
Gu Lingchuan exchanged a few polite words with him before getting straight to the point: "When I arrived just now, I saw quite a few armored vehicles carrying missiles heading towards the city. I wonder what happened?"
Hua Zhiyuan sighed. It wasn't a big deal if the Gu brothers saw it, since he hadn't intended to hide it at all. "It seems we were discovered a few days ago when we were investigating that giant alien."
"You should also understand that the continued existence of this thing is a danger to us, and we must have a countermeasure. Originally, our plan was to have President Gu investigate, but since there might be risks, we sent someone to check it out first."
"This is where the unexpected happened. That giant alien has been consuming the corrupting power, and its size is rapidly increasing. Moreover, once its detection is detected, a large head pattern covered in tentacles will appear on its body if you make eye contact with it."
"This pattern emits a corrupting power; it won't be long before it mutates and turns into something like that monster, covered in tentacles."
"Moreover, infected people will gradually lose their minds, and ordinary creatures that are pierced by its tentacles will directly turn into aliens. Even evolved beings will find it difficult to resist, but evolved beings will turn into zombies." Hua Zhiyuan told Gu Lingchuan all the information because Gu Lingchuan's superpower was really useful.
We currently know far too little about that monster.
Gu Lingchuan remained skeptical of Hua Zhiyuan's account, but said nothing. Instead, he thought for a moment and then spoke.
"According to the information I gave you before, the Xenomorphs originated from absorbing only the power of corruption, while the zombies originated from absorbing more corruption than super energy. Therefore, it can be confirmed that being pierced by those tentacles will inject corruption into your body."
"Ordinary people don't have super energy in their bodies, so they directly turn into aliens. Evolved creatures, on the other hand, have super energy in their bodies. If the injected pollution power exceeds the super energy, they turn into zombies." But if that's the case, why did Ling Xiao start to mutate after absorbing only a little pollution power, skipping the possibility of turning into a zombie?
Could it be that Ling Xiao was already close to becoming a zombie at the very beginning? Or could there be an exception?
And then there's Lü Ming, he's also an evolved being, but he also turned directly into an alien. Another possibility is that the concentration of pollution power was too high and directly canceled out the super energy.
After listening to Gu Lingchuan's explanation, Hua Zhiyuan clapped his hands and said, "That's right, that's most likely the reason."
"Super crystals have a chance to turn mutated people back to normal," Gu Lingxiao suddenly said.
This is the result of his experiment on Lü Ming. Gu Lingxiao had previously experimented on zombies.
But zombies can't turn back; they seem to be a product of the fusion of super energy and pollution.
It's like the forces of pollution and aliens are one force, and super energy and evolved creatures are another; the two forces erode and transform into each other.
When these two lineups clashed, they were compatible with each other, resulting in the mutation of a new species called zombies.
These are just inferences made by Gu Lingxiao based on the information he currently has.
"What, is this true?" Hua Zhiyuan stood up, because his father, Professor Hua Yansong, had been mutated into a monster.
Originally, I wanted to try killing that giant alien to see if I could recover, but I didn't expect to get a solution so quickly. The Gu brothers are truly my lucky stars.
"No matter how much super energy you have to turn into a zombie, it's useless. Only those who mutate into aliens have a chance, and it has to be a super energy crystal, not a zombie crystal," Gu Lingxiao added. He felt that this person was quite good.
"Thank you very much, you've been a great help. If you have any needs, please feel free to ask." Hua Zhiyuan didn't hold back, putting on a nonchalant attitude to reduce the amount of payment.
"Jiahao, hurry up!"
Zhong Jiahao hesitated. Although obeying orders was a soldier's duty, protecting Hua Zhiyuan was also his duty. He wasn't even confident that he could take down all the Gu brothers, so he was a little worried about leaving the general alone here.
"General Hua, if you have something to attend to, please go ahead. My brother and I will look around. Just send someone to introduce us to some things," Gu Lingchuan said tactfully.
"I'm sorry, I'll have to go take care of things now and then I'll entertain you properly tonight," Hua Zhiyuan said, first sending someone to greet the two of them before leaving.
The person who greeted him was a girl who looked to be around twenty years old, just like Gu Lingxiao.
"Hello, your name is Yu Xin. You can tell me anything, and the general says he can do whatever he wants," the girl said with a smile.
If you can get everything you want, then just listen and that's enough.
"I want a sniper rifle, a high-powered Barrett S-11," Gu Lingxiao said, immediately silencing the girl.
How could she possibly answer that he was asking for the most powerful single-shot sniper weapon right off the bat? It had a maximum range of 8,000 meters, an effective range of 5,000 meters, and could be loaded with various special bullets, such as armor-piercing rounds, high-explosive rounds, and high-explosive armor-piercing incendiary rounds.
This is the newest and most powerful single-shot sniper rifle developed by the Great Xia Kingdom. Its power and shells are almost on par. How did they know we had one here? Did someone tell them?
