Chapter 78 Doomsday Humanoid Weapon 15
Yao Rong made a list of instruments and a list of experimental materials and handed them to the adjutant, and reminded him: "Please send the bill directly to Lu Fei when the time comes."
Lu Fei: "..."
The adjutant suppressed his laughter: "Okay. Next time when I go to pick up Major General Xue, I will bring the bill with me."
Lu Fei secretly glanced at the list of materials and saw that it was filled with dense handwriting. His heart suddenly lifted.
He twisted his hands and went to Yao Rong's side: "How much contribution value will these materials cost?"
"Enough to change three or four houses."
Lu Fei hissed, lowered his head and pointed his fingers, trying to calculate how many times he would have to work to pay off the money.
While Yao Rong was worried about his math skills, he also continued to give Lu Fei a heart attack: "If these materials are worn out quickly, I can only use them for about half a month."
Lu Fei was increasingly worried about his future working life.
He had endured a lot of pain that he shouldn't have to endure at his age.
Moreover, he spent three or four houses in half a month. According to this data, that is one month... one year... five years...
God.
It took two minutes to calculate the bill. Lu Fei clenched his fists, with rage burning in his eyes.
Ninth Institute, what are you going to use to pay back the house you owe me!
Leaving Lu Fei there to continue counting his fingers, the adjutant took Yao Rong to visit other laboratories in the institute.
He first took Yao Rong to the "Zombie Gene" laboratory.
A dozen researchers in lab coats surrounded the corpse of the Wind Zombie King, constantly measuring and modifying data.
The person in charge of the laboratory was whispering something to the person next to him. He noticed someone coming in from the corner of his eye. He looked up and saw a little light in front of him: "Dr. Yao Rong?"
"Dr. Chen Feng, it's been a long time since the last seminar in Jiang Province." Yao Rong thought about it for a while and remembered the other party's identity.
She and the other party had met several times at the seminar on life genetic engineering. The other party was from the southwest, so it was not surprising that he appeared here.
Chen Feng was very enthusiastic: "Someone from above came to say hello before, saying that they were going to vacate a laboratory. I was wondering if the person who came would be someone I knew. It's great that you can come. When I encounter difficulties in the future, I will have one more person to discuss with."
The backwardness of the Southwest Base is backwardness in all aspects.
In addition to supplies, weapons, scientific research, the use and research of superpowers... all of these are far behind other bases.
The kind of equipment that can detect whether a person is carrying the zombie virus when entering the city was bought from other bases at a high price.
"You're too polite." Yao Rong smiled and stepped forward. "How are you doing with the corpse of the Zombie King?"
Chen Feng pushed his glasses and explained, "We found a nucleus-shaped shadow on its head. This has never been found on other zombie heads."
"So we suspect that if it evolves completely, the shadow may become something similar to the human brain. It can command other zombies because the shadow can emit skills similar to mental control."
The two discussed the Zombie King for a while, and Yao Rong said goodbye at the right time and stopped disturbing their research.
She and her adjutant went to the laboratory that specializes in studying "game bracelets".
After visiting for a while, Yao Rong suddenly asked: "What topic is the laboratory currently researching?"
The person in charge of the laboratory said: "It is mainly about how to make the most efficient use of superpowers."
Yao Rong asked again: "Has the laboratory ever thought about studying a topic about "How to create a game bracelet independently?"
The person in charge was a little surprised. He didn't expect Yao Rong to say this: "Of course we have considered it. I believe that not only our southwest base, but also people in other bases must have thought about this."
The inalienable nature of the game bracelet, although it guarantees the safety of superpowers, has also caused many serious consequences.
First, children born after the end of the world will not have game bracelets at all.
Second, with the death of superpowers, the number of superpowers will become less and less.
No one knows when the next game bracelet will be distributed.
In the short term, the base only needs to worry about survival issues. Over time, these potential problems will surely erupt.
"It's just that..." The person in charge shook his head and said, "No matter how we study it, this game bracelet looks like an ordinary bracelet. We have no way to analyze the structure inside."
Yao Rong subconsciously thought of the game bracelet source file analyzed by the system.
She was studying the source file all the way from Rong County to the Southwest Base.
After spending so much time and energy, she was finally able to understand one-third of the content.
If she can fully understand the source file, is there a chance to...
mass-produce game bracelets?
With a plan in mind, Yao Rong remained calm, listening quietly to what the person in charge said, occasionally agreeing with him.
After gaining the person in charge's favor, Yao Rong said that she wanted to borrow laboratory instruments to make some gadgets.
"No problem." The person in charge readily agreed.
***
What Yao Rong wanted to make was indeed a gadget.
She used the game bracelet of a wind-type superpower as a template and designed a fake game bracelet that was almost identical.
Song Xiuping looked at it up and down for a long time and exclaimed: "Just looking at the appearance, you can't tell that it's a fake."
Lu Fei took it and wondered: "What's the use of making this?"
Yao Rong put it directly on Lu Fei's right wrist: "Try to use force."
Lu Fei clenched his fist.
Just as he urged the strength in his body, the bracelet on his wrist also emitted a light golden light.
Lu Fei was stunned, and loosened his fist to release the force.
The bracelet dimmed instantly.
"I will ask Major General Xue Anyi to tamper with your information. From now on, you will advertise yourself as a wind-type mutant. Anyway, you are very fast, so it should be easy to pretend to be a wind-type mutant."
Song Xiuping sighed: "Will this work?"
Yao Rong: "It's better than not pretending. Anyway, the only people who have really seen Lu Fei kill the Zombie King are those in your team."
Keep it a secret for as long as possible.
At least it can block some malicious eyes and buy more time for Lu Fei's growth.
Lu Fei stroked the surface of the bracelet with his fingers and whispered, "I will pay attention to it in the future."
It turned out that Dr. Yao had been going out early and coming back late these two days just to make this thing.
"I will make some more props for you later. You can use those props to pretend to attack like wind blades." Yao Rong rubbed her eyebrows and felt sleepy.
Lu Fei is not a patient person. He always wants to run away. These days, he has been nagging in her ear from time to time, saying that she should hurry up to complete the task to earn contribution points.
She didn't want to restrict him too much, so she had been working overtime for the past two days.
"I'm going upstairs to sleep, you take good care of Mengmeng." After giving her instructions, Yao Rong went upstairs for a nap.
Song Xiuping also moved into this villa after successfully applying for a private chef. He checked the time and stood up happily: "I'm going to the vegetable market to see if there are any fresh ingredients. The ingredients in my space are almost used up, so I have to replenish them before the next mission."
Soon, only Lu Fei and Mi Mengmeng were left in the room.
Lu Fei sat there for a few seconds, turned his head and looked at Mi Mengmeng, who was holding a picture book and reading it with relish, and said: "Mengmeng, can I take you outside to watch those soldiers picking mangoes? You must be bored reading picture books all day long."
Mi Mengmeng was very well behaved.
As long as you give her a picture book, she can sit there quietly and read for a whole day.
Lu Fei compared himself when he was a child with Mi Mengmeng, and felt more and more distressed for this child.
He has asked Fang Shaoyuan and Zheng Shuiqing to help see if there is anyone willing to adopt Mi Mengmeng. Who knows when Mi Mengmeng will have to live with a new family, so he has to take advantage of now to spend more time with Mengmeng to relax.
Mi Mengmeng put down the picture book, and stared at Lu Fei with her round eyes, who was excited when he mentioned going out to play.
In fact, she didn't want to go out to play that much.
In the past six months, she ran around with her mother every day and had no fixed place to live. Now what she likes most is to stay quietly in the room and read books.
But Brother Lu Fei looked like he really wanted to go out and play...
Mi Mengmeng nodded and said seriously: "Brother Lu Fei, let's go."
She would accompany Brother Lu Fei obediently.
Just like when she played ball with Brother Lu Fei before.
For some reason, Lu Fei felt a little embarrassed when Mi Mengmeng looked at him. He scratched his head, put the strange feeling behind him, and walked out of the villa with Mi Mengmeng.
Outside the villa is a row of tree-lined avenues, with mango trees planted on both sides of the road. Now is the mango harvest season, and the yellow mangoes are heavy on the branches.
These mangoes are all food resources belonging to the base, and many soldiers in military uniforms are picking them.
Lu Fei stared at the mangoes, drooling.
He hasn't eaten mangoes for a long time.
Needless to say, these mangoes must be very sweet.
"Mengmeng, you must be craving for mangoes."
Mi Mengmeng: "Yeah!"
"Mengmeng, I'll go ask them if they sell them. If they do, I'll buy a box and take it home, and then I'll ask Brother Song to make you a mango milkshake."
Mi Mengmeng: "Yeah yeah!"
"I remember that the street next door grows lychees. Otherwise, I'll buy you another box of lychees for you to try."
Mi Mengmeng: "Yeah yeah!"
The big and the small were chatting very enthusiastically, and suddenly a burst of friendly laughter came from not far away: "You must be Xiaolu and Mengmeng. I have lychees and small cakes at home, and I can't finish them all by myself. Do you want to come over and eat together?"
Lu Fei and Mi Mengmeng looked over together.
At the door of the villa next door, which belonged to Xue Anyi, stood a beautiful woman in her early thirties. She wore no makeup and had a faint sickly look on her face, but she was very gentle and beautiful when she smiled.
"I am Anyi's wife, my last name is Jiang, you can just call me Aunt Jiang."
Lu Fei took Mi Mengmeng over to say hello.
Jiang Qianqian touched Mi Mengmeng's head. She noticed the two of them when Lu Fei took Mi Mengmeng out of the villa just now.
When she heard the conversation between the two, she laughed again and again.
Obviously Lu Fei was the older one and Mi Mengmeng was the younger one, but Jiang Qianqian felt a sense of helplessness and indulgence from the little girl.
This feeling on a five-year-old girl is both incongruous and cute.
"Come in quickly." Hearing Lu Fei's refusal, Jiang Qianqian smiled, "I just recovered from my illness. I can't finish all those things by myself. It's a waste to leave them there."
At Jiang Qianqian's enthusiastic invitation, Lu Fei and Mi Mengmeng followed her into the yard.
Sitting on the stone bench, Jiang Qianqian kept stuffing food into Mi Mengmeng's mouth and asked the nanny to go to the kitchen to steam egg custard for Mi Mengmeng.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Qianqian added, "Steam a bowl for Xiaolu as well."
Lu Fei: "..."
Lu Fei's face was full of hesitation.
When Yao Rong woke up and followed the sound of talking next door to find him, Mi Mengmeng was eating egg custard while chatting with Jiang Qianqian.
And her stupid son was also holding a bowl of egg custard, eating with relish.
Yao Rong: "..."
"Dr. Yao, please take a seat." Jiang Qianqian had met Yao Rong before, and quickly stood up and asked her to sit down.
Yao Rong sat down opposite Jiang Qianqian, and chatted with Jiang Qianqian for a while before taking the two children home.
"Does Mengmeng like Aunt Jiang very much?"
Mi Mengmeng rarely spoke, especially when facing strangers, she was a little timid, but when she was chatting with Jiang Qianqian just now, the little girl obviously became a little more lively.
"I like it." Mi Mengmeng said obediently, Aunt Jiang's smile always reminded her of her mother.
Yao Rong knew about Xue Anyi and Jiang Qianqian's situation.
Although Xue Anyi has a pair of peach blossom eyes and seems to be a little careless, he and Jiang Qianqian are childhood sweethearts. They got married as soon as they reached the legal age and have been in love with each other for many years. However, Jiang Qianqian's health has always been poor, and the two have not had children for more than ten years after marriage.
Although I haven't heard that Xue Anyi and Jiang Qianqian have the idea of adopting a child, if Mi Mengmeng wants to go to Jiang Qianqian to play, Yao Rong will not stop her.
What happens next depends on how they get along.
The fate between people is always unclear.
On the other hand, Xue Anyi, who just returned home, was also chatting with Jiang Qianqian about Mi Mengmeng.
"I met Mengmeng today, her child is so cute. Of course, the little deer is also very fun." Jiang Qianqian described today's events vividly, "Didn't you say before that Yao Rong and others are looking for adoptive parents for Mengmeng..."
She actually took the risk of having a child before, but she accidentally miscarried when the fetus was a few months old, and even she herself almost couldn't save it.
Since then, the couple has not planned to have children again.
But now seeing that Mi Mengmeng is so cute, Jiang Qianqian has another idea -
why not, she and Anyi adopt a child?
Calculating, if the daughter of her and Anyi is born safely, she will be five or six years old now.
Anyi is busy with work and can't accompany her often. If she raises a well-behaved and smart daughter, she will be more comfortable at home to recuperate in the future.
Xue Anyi unbuttoned his windbreaker and took off his military uniform.
That day he went to Dr. Yao's house and saw Mi Mengmeng playing with a ball.
It's not bad to have such a lovely daughter.
"Since you and Mengmeng get along well, you can let her come to our house more often in the future. After spending more time together, if the child is willing to accept us, we can talk about adoption."
Jiang Qianqian rolled her eyes at him: "Don't worry, adoption is such a big thing, how can I make a decision casually."
Of course, I have to be cautious, this is responsible for myself and the child.
***
The next day, Lu Fei still ate mango milkshake.
It was Yao Rong who asked someone to buy mangoes.
After eating the box of mangoes, all the instruments and materials that Yao Rong needed arrived.
She began to devote herself to the research of version 2.0 of the gene stabilizer.
As Yao Rong's experiment reached a critical point, the amount of materials she consumed became larger and larger.
Lu Fei looked at the huge bills he received and was terrified.
Fang Shaoyuan was about to look for Lu Fei, but he didn't expect Lu Fei to come to him with the bill in his hand.
Hearing Lu Fei asking him what mission he had recently, Fang Shaoyuan said, "There is a large mission recently, which requires moving a production line to an industrial park."
"There are a lot of zombies gathered in that industrial park, and there may even be zombies at level 40 or 50. If you complete a mission as dangerous as this, the contribution value will be very large. Do you want to go with me?"
"Yes, yes."
"Then I will drive directly to pick you and Song Xiuping in two days." After
making an appointment with Fang Shaoyuan, Lu Fei went home with satisfaction.
When he got home, Yao Rong had already returned from the laboratory.
She leaned on the sofa, playing with a black prop in her hand: "This is what I said, the prop that can automatically release wind blades. After your energy is used to a certain extent, it will be released in conjunction with your attack." As she said, she threw the prop to Lu Fei in the air.
Lu Fei caught it easily and put it on the fake game bracelet.
He sat next to Yao Rong and told Yao Rong about the mission.
Yao Rong thought for a moment: "I'll go out with you too."
"You are going too?"
Yao Rong smiled and said: "Just treat it as a day off for yourself."
In fact, she deliberately went with him because Song Xiuping mentioned this operation to her. Anyway, they have been busy for so many days, it would be good to combine work and rest.
Two days later, at dawn, Yao Rong, Lu Fei, and Song Xiuping set out with Fang Shaoyuan's team.
In addition to their team, there are 19 other teams of superpowers and thousands of ordinary soldiers.
This team marched out of the city gate and headed for the industrial park in the north.
Six hours later, when they were about a kilometer away from the gate of the industrial park, Fang Shaoyuan learned from his previous experience in Rong County and ordered everyone to stay on standby.
He looked at Lu Fei: "Xiao Lu, can you go in and investigate alone?"
Lu Fei made an "ok" gesture to Fang Shaoyuan, pushed the door and got out of the car, and walked towards the park alone.
On the way, other team members ran over to Fang Shaoyuan to inquire about the news and asked him when to start the action. Fang Shaoyuan blocked them one by one and just told them to wait. He had already sent people in to investigate.
"I can assure you that the arrangements I made will definitely reduce the risk of this operation."
Most of the people in these teams are convinced by Fang Shaoyuan.
Regardless of Fang Shaoyuan's identity, Fang Shaoyuan's level 37 strength alone is already considered one of the top three masters in the Southwest Base.
Moreover, Fang Shaoyuan is a graduate of a military academy, and his military training is impeccable.
But there are always exceptions.
The captain of the Gale Team among the 19 teams is Fang Shaoze, who is Fang Shaoyuan's cousin.
For example, Fang Shaoyuan is two years older and a level 32 wind-type mutant.
The relationship between the two cousins was not very good in private. Before setting off this time, Fang Shaoze was even more angry when he learned that Fang Shaoyuan had surpassed him and became the person in charge of this operation.
Now, every time his men went to urge Fang Shaoyuan, they were directly blocked by Fang Shaoyuan, and Fang Shaoze's temper became even more uncontrollable.
Fang Shaoze sneered: "What do you mean by reducing the risk? Ha, you are so self-righteous. I think Fang Shaoyuan is just afraid that this operation will cause too much loss, and he will not be able to explain it after returning!"
Ignoring his teammates' obstruction, Fang Shaoze, dressed in military uniform and holding a cigarette in his mouth, strode towards the car at the front of the team and knocked on the window impatiently.
The car window rolled down, and Fang Shaoyuan stared at Fang Shaoze coldly: "What's the matter?"
"How long are you going to wait? It's almost dark if you wait any longer." Fang Shaoze blew a smoke ring at the co-pilot Zheng Shuiqing, and only stopped after Fang Shaoyuan warned him.
"It's almost done."
"What do you mean it's almost done?" Fang Shaoze sneered, "You don't think that you can solve the troubles in the factory by sending a random nobody in? Cousin, if you can't command, then step down as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a joke and it will be difficult to end."
Song Xiuping, who was sitting in the back row, tried to hold back, but still couldn't help but burst out laughing: "No way, no way, our captain can't command, can you??"
In his previous life, he also came to participate in this action.
He saw with his own eyes how Fang Shaoze, this idiot, brought hundreds of psychics into the factory.
In the end, all those hundreds of psychics died to protect him from getting out safely.
What was even more disgusting was that when the head of the base fell ill, Fang Shaoze and his father danced more happily than anyone else, and even sold out the interests of the base in exchange for the support of the central base.
The fake smile on Fang Shaoze's face disappeared: "Why, an ordinary member of the team dared to mock me, is your ability higher than mine, or do you rely on someone to support you from behind?"
Yao Rong closed the notebook on his knees and suddenly said: "Someone does support him."
Fang Shaoze subconsciously looked at Fang Shaoyuan.
"It's not him. It's a wind-type esper whose level is much higher than yours."
"Are you kidding me?" Fang Shaoze's dirty words were about to come out.
Seeing this, Fang Shaoyuan directly blocked him: "Aunt Yao is my father's distinguished guest, dare you curse her?"
Fang Shaoze hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to confront Fang Shaoyuan on this matter.
He swallowed those dirty words: "There is no wind-type esper whose level is higher than mine in the base. Oh, I know, the person sent by your cousin to explore the industrial park, couldn't it be the so-called wind-type esper? What a joke, even I dare not go so deep alone, let alone others."
Song Xiuping laughed again.
He didn't say anything, but this laugh was enough to express his mockery.
He has lived his life again and has hugged such a thick thigh. Even if he is not a crab, he should learn to walk sideways occasionally!
Fang Shaoze looked at Song Xiuping as if he was looking at a dead person.
At this moment, Yao Rong pointed in the direction of the gate of the industrial park: "He is back."
The people around the car looked over.
The psychics who had been waiting impatiently also looked over.
Lu Fei carried a zombie with a hideous face and a swollen body, running all the way from the gate of the industrial park to the front.
Everyone:?
Being stared at by everyone, Lu Fei blinked, and finally remembered something, and slightly exerted force on the hand holding the zombie.
A wind blade flew up into the air and completely sank into the body of the zombie.
This action was as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was a "wind-type mutant".
Everyone: ? ?
Lu Fei was about to throw the zombie to the ground when he heard Song Xiuping shouting from the car: "Xiaolu, this person said he wanted to throw Aunt Yao into the pile of zombies to feed them!"
Lu Fei's hand trembled, and he used all his strength to smash the zombie as if it were a sandbag, knocking Fang Shaoze to the ground on the spot.
Everyone: ? ? ?
Lu Fei didn't even look at Fang Shaoze, and waved to Yao Rong happily: "Come and kill the zombies."
He also did not forget to explain to Song Xiuping: "Brother Song, I will take you in to kill them in a while, and those with higher levels will be left to Dr. Yao."
