Chapter 576 The End
Just as Ling Ran was getting addicted to palace intrigue games, the weather was getting colder day by day.
However, the game was ultimately simple; Ling Ran spent a little money and cleared it.
The programmers who saw this in the backend were dumbfounded.
They originally created this top-up service to help adults pass levels more easily, but because they didn't want adults to spend money, they set the amount a bit high, and as a result, adults still topped up anyway.
Others play this game, but very few spend money on it, and only one person, an adult, has actually completed it by spending money.
Alright, let's just finish developing the game we have on hand.
If we make a good game, they can make a living by writing code in the post-apocalyptic world.
On the other side.
Without the zombie king, Ling Ran had looted all the supplies in the capital.
Therefore, whether they were residents of the Beijing base or the provincial capital base, they all went to neighboring cities and other places to search for supplies.
Winters in the north are too long and too cold. When it gets really cold, it's impossible to go out and look for supplies. They have to prepare the supplies for the winter before the cold winter arrives.
Seeing that Ling Ran seemed to be staying at the capital base for quite some time, Pei Xiu and the others would occasionally go out to take on some simple tasks to earn some points.
Firstly, I want to improve myself, and secondly, I want to earn more points so I can use them to watch live streams and play games.
You can't keep using crystal cores to exchange for crystal cores every day, no matter how many crystal cores you have.
It has to be said that the software developed by the Beijing base was originally intended to please Ling Ran, but the residents have become completely obsessed with it.
Those who didn't have money worked hard to earn it, and some residents without special abilities could also showcase their talents through live streaming and earn some income.
This is a good thing for everyone.
Wei Songbai makes it a point to travel to the grassroots level every month to conduct inspections. Only by going to the grassroots can one truly understand what the grassroots really need.
I used to think the residents were apathetic, hopeless about the future, and just getting by day by day, but now they are much more lively.
That day, after returning from another inspection of the grassroots level, he couldn't help but say to Luo Zhenguo, who had accompanied him, "Sir, she really is divinely inspired."
"That's right. The base's economy has been revitalized by these software programs, and the residents' enthusiasm has also greatly increased."
Wei Songbai sighed as he spoke: "How's the game progress?"
"It's estimated that the internal testing will begin in the next few days."
"I wonder how long you will stay, sir." Wei Songbai said, his eyes filled with reluctance: "Judging from the time, you have been here for more than three months. The New Year is coming soon, and we need to start preparing for the gala."
"Yes, adults like these exciting things."
"You take care of this."
As the two were talking, the car arrived at the office building of the Beijing base. As soon as they got out of the car, Wei Songbai's assistant rushed over.
Wei Songbai was startled and quickly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Manager, I just received a call. There's been a major breakthrough in the lab."
"A breakthrough? Go check it out."
The group of people, who had been walking forward, immediately turned around and quickly walked towards the building across the street.
The experimental building will be located opposite the office building.
The area is heavily guarded.
Even Wei Songbai and his team had to undergo a series of checks, including facial recognition, finger mosquito scanning, and iris scanning, before they could enter.
A short while later, the three of them went upstairs to the seventh floor.
This is the laboratory's office.
When Wei Songbai arrived, he saw a group of lab researchers in white coats huddled together talking.
"Elder Hua, has there been any progress in the research on the Zombie King?"
Upon hearing Wei Songbai's voice, everyone turned around, and the elderly man in the middle, who was over seventy years old and also known as Old Hua, nodded: "That's right."
Luo Zhenguo asked anxiously, "Is it a vaccine?"
"no."
Old Hua shook his head: "The conditions for becoming the Zombie King have been determined."
Upon hearing that it wasn't a vaccine, Wei Songbai was somewhat disappointed, but he also knew that it was unlikely that a vaccine could be developed in such a short time.
"What are the conditions for becoming the Zombie King?"
"Through our research, we discovered that this zombie king can not only increase its ability level by eating humans, but also by eating its own kind, or even by eating crystal cores," Elder Hua said solemnly.
"What? Can eat its own kind? And it can even eat crystal cores?"
"That's terrifying."
Luo Zhenguo frowned slightly: "You know, this zombie king can control tens of millions of zombies. If it were to eat all of these zombies..."
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.
How terrifying would it be if it ate tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of zombies?
Wei Songbai had also thought of this, and quickly asked, "Does the Zombie King have a threshold?"
Humans have a threshold, also known as the maximum level.
"Not really."
Hua Lao explained, "Theoretically speaking, it can keep eating and its level can become very high. However, it needs time to digest and upgrade after eating. The higher the level, the longer it takes to digest. But their body structure is different from ours, so the threshold is useless to them."
"That's terrifying too. You have to understand that these zombie kings are intelligent. If they secretly develop and reach a level that humans can't reach, what can humans do to fight them? Deploy nuclear weapons?"
Old Hua nodded: "Theoretically, it's possible. But if it tries to develop secretly and we don't find it and nip it in the bud, then..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone's mood became somewhat heavy.
Wei Songbai suddenly remembered something: "When Luo Han was on a mission before, he saw a zombie that ate its own kind. Is it possible that the zombie could become the zombie king?"
"Hmm." Elder Hua nodded: "Now it seems that zombies that can eat their own kind or can be enhanced by eating crystal cores are all qualified to become zombie kings."
Wei Songbai breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Luo Han killed that zombie. He was on a mission in another province at the time and couldn't bring it back. Otherwise, we would have brought it back. It's a pity we haven't encountered this kind of zombie since then, otherwise we would have figured it out long ago."
"There are probably very few zombies that can possess the qualifications of a zombie king."
Hua Lao comforted him, saying, "There's no need to worry too much about management."
Wei Songbai nodded and said to his assistant, "Send out the research results in tomorrow's weekly report and tell everyone to pay attention when they go on missions. If you encounter these zombies, try to bring them back. If you can't bring them back, kill them as much as possible to prevent them from growing."
"Good management."
Wei Songbai then looked at Elder Hua: "How is the Zombie King now?"
"Still alive, continue the research."
"Okay." Wei Songbai nodded: "If Elder Hua needs anything, please just tell Xiao Chen."
I came down from the laboratory building.
Looking at the blue sky, Wei Songbai sighed, "Old Luo, when do you think this apocalypse will end?"
Luo Zhenguo sighed as well: "It will all end eventually."
Yes, it will end someday.
I just don't know if they'll ever see that day.
