Chapter 84 Humanoid Weapon of the End of the World 21

But soon, Song Xiuping was no longer happy.

His face was full of shock, and his reaction was the same as everyone else present: "How could the person behind the Ninth Institute be Dr. Xiao Bai!?"

The names of ordinary scientific researchers would definitely not be known to everyone, but Xiao Bai's name has been well-known to everyone since before the end of the world.

After the end of the world, Xiao Bai even served as the director of the Central Base Research Institute.

The instrument that can detect whether a person is carrying the zombie virus before entering the city was developed by the team led by Xiao Bai.

Yao Rong said in a positive tone: "It is precisely because of this reputation that he was able to establish the Ninth Institute in such a short time."

It would be difficult to replace someone who is not famous enough.

That night, except for Yao Rong and Lu Fei who were able to sleep well, the other four people tossed and turned.

There is no doubt that even if Yao Rong and Lu Fei were not taken into consideration, the Southwest Base was still on the opposite side of the Ninth Institute. So Fang Weijue attached great importance to what Yao Rong said, that the teams from other bases might have infiltrated the senior management of the Ninth Institute.

He personally took action and investigated the matter secretly.

As time passed, the joint competition soon began.

Lu Fei and Song Xiuping did not join in the excitement.

Firstly, they had seen this kind of fighting many times. Secondly

, and most importantly, their residence fell into the eyes of someone with ulterior motives. For safety reasons, they were allowed to move into the institute to help Yao Rong test the effect of the artificial game bracelet.

During the competition, many people asked Fang Weijue why the most famous psychic "Feng Kui" in their base did not participate in the competition.

Fang Weijue's explanation to the outside world was always "Feng Kui was injured and is currently recuperating."

Regardless of whether others believed it or not, Fang Weijue sent people to keep a close eye on those bases that had inquired about Feng Kui.

Soon, Fang Weijue's people found clues.

"The cleaner noticed while cleaning that there was an office in the Northwest Base that did not allow anyone to enter or leave."

"We checked the list, and there was a person named Hu Yan in the Northwest Base who never showed up from beginning to end. To the outside, the Northwest Base said that he was infected with the cold, but our people checked the domestic garbage and confirmed that there was no trace of any cold medicine used..."

The adjutant sent by Fang Weijue said to Yao Rong.

After a moment's silence, Yao Rong looked at Lu Fei and smiled: "Lu Fei, follow them. Once they leave the Southwest Base, arrest them immediately."

***

After five days of competition, the joint competition finally came to an end.

The major bases left one after another.

The Azure Base was the first to leave .

In the competition, Lei Tingxuan only got 26th place and did not even enter the finals. On the way back, he had a gloomy face and became more and more irritable. He would beat and scold his subordinates at any time. The subordinates secretly complained and could only try not to get in front of him. As

everyone shirked the responsibility, the driver responsible for driving Lei Tingxuan was replaced by the most weak and honest person in the team.

Shortly after the military truck left the southwest base's sphere of influence, it suddenly braked sharply

. Lei Tingxuan was awakened from his sleep and angrily scolded, "What's the matter? If you can't drive

, just get out of here." The driver smiled and said, "Young Master, the road ahead is blocked by several abandoned cars. We have to move them away before we can continue."

Lei Tingxuan was impatient and yelled at the other two subordinates in the car, "Go down and help. Clear the road quickly. Don't waste time."

The driver shrank aside, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.

Lei Tingxuan took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He pressed the lighter, but found that the lighter would not light.

The driver said attentively, "Master, I'll light it for you."

Lei Tingxuan sneered, holding the cigarette in his mouth and slurring his teeth, "At least you have some sense."

The driver held the lighter and moved it to Lei Tingxuan's neck .

At the moment the lighter was lit, the game bracelet on the driver's wrist also emitted a faint red light.

The red light and the flame of the lighter fell into Lei Tingxuan's eyes together. At the moment the cigarette was lit, a fire blade went straight to Lei Tingxuan's neck and nailed him to death on the spot.

Before the blood spurted out, it was burned clean by the flames.

The driver took out the cigarette from Lei Tingxuan's mouth, put it out casually, and put Lei Tingxuan in a sleeping position. Then he turned the ventilation in the car to the maximum to dispel the bloody smell in the car.

After doing all this, he pretended to be submissive and opened the door to get out of the car.

Someone saw him and asked him why he got out. The driver smiled bitterly and said, "The young master was impatient and thought I was blocking his eyes in the car, so he rushed me down to check the situation."

This is what Lei Tingxuan can do, and no one suspected it at all.

After pretending to walk around for a while, the driver held his stomach and cried, "No, my stomach hurts so much, I'll be back soon."

Five minutes later, the cars blocking the road were cleared, and then someone discovered the news of Lei Tingxuan's death.

The yellow-haired man, as Lei Tingxuan's top confidant, had bloodshot eyes and said, "I don't need to tell you what the base commander's temper is like. If we go back like this, we will definitely die." He ordered everyone to look for the driver separately.

The space-based esper who had the entire team's supplies in his hands also chose a direction to chase.

Just as he turned a corner, a strong thunder suddenly fell from the sky.

The space-based esper fainted on the spot.

"The base commander's illegitimate son died tragically. The murderer was a driver who had secretly joined the legitimate son's faction. The space-based psychic was worried that he would be held accountable by the base commander, so he fled with a lot of supplies out of greed."

"This time, Azure Base really lost both its wife and its soldiers."

Several people walked out slowly, and their military boots made a rhythmic sound on the ground.

The leader was wearing a windbreaker, with a hood covering his face, and he smiled and spoke. It was Fang Shaoyuan.

"The operation ended successfully, we are withdrawing."

...

The order of departure of the Northwest Base was neither front nor back, and it was not eye-catching at all.

Some distance away from the main city of the Southwest Base, the person in charge of the Northwest Base came to see Dr. Chen quietly: "Doctor, have you found the person you are looking for?"

Dr. Chen frowned and felt slightly irritated.

Although he was 90% sure that "Feng Kui is No. 9", Dr. Chen knew that Dr. Xiao Bai wanted to hear a completely affirmative answer.

Dr. Xiao Bai would not listen to his difficulties and explanations.

All explanations were excuses.

"It is better to kill by mistake than to let him go. Whether he is the person I am looking for or not, we will know if he is the person I am looking for after catching him." A hint of madness flashed in Dr. Chen's eyes.

Dr. Chen discussed with the person in charge for a whole night and decided to rush back to the Northwest Base first.

Soon, they left the Southwest Base and entered the sphere of influence of the Northwest Base.

As they got closer and closer to home, everyone's tense spirits relaxed a little. Dr. Chen drank a few sips of wine and went into his own tent to rest.

In the second half of the night, except for the two psychics who were on duty, everyone else fell into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from the north.

It was gentle at first, but later it turned into a strong gale.

The burning fire was dimmed by the wind.

"Add firewood quickly, if the fire goes out, there will be no light." One of the psychics brought a lot of firewood and threw it into the fire.

"The wind is so strong, I wonder if it will rain in the morning." Another psychic also fiddled with the fire.

In the blind spot of their vision, a black figure blended into the wind, flashed by, and entered the tent where Dr. Chen was.

Half asleep and half awake, Dr. Chen suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, and then he completely lost consciousness.

Lu Fei stood in front of Dr. Chen, looking down at him.

After a long while, Lu Fei slowly squatted down, carried Dr. Chen on his shoulders, and patiently waited for the moment when the fire was completely extinguished. He fled the camp at his fastest speed like a gust of wind.

After turning several corners, Lu Fei finally joined Song Xiuping and others.

"We retreat?" Fang Shaoyuan said.

"Wait."

Facing Dr. Chen's old face, being able to resist not taking action in the camp was already the limit of Lu Fei.

He put Dr. Chen down, and first plundered all the stuff on Dr. Chen's body, then rolled up his sleeves, punched and kicked Dr. Chen in the most painful places, and beat him until he woke up and fainted again.

"Come and cast a healing spell."

Lu Fei shouted to the healing psychic in the team.

The healing psychic immediately cast a healing spell on Dr. Chen.

Lu Fei continued to punch and kick.

After three times in a row, he felt a little relieved.

"Don't you want to see me? I will let you see enough in the future!"

...

Dr. Chen thought he might be having a nightmare.

Otherwise, why did he have the illusion that he was beaten back and forth twenty or thirty times.

Otherwise, why did Yao Rong, that jerk, and No. 9 appear in front of him.

At this moment, a glass of cold water was poured over his head, making Dr. Chen shudder.

"Are you awake now, Dr. Chen?" Yao Rong put down the glass in his hand.

Dr. Chen shook his head vigorously, and then he could see the surrounding environment clearly.

It was damp, dark, and the smell of decay was pungent.

This was a prison.

He was tied to a cross.

Yao Rong, No. 9, and Fang Weijue, the director of the Southwest Base, were all sitting on the chairs in front of him.

"You... why am I here..." Dr. Chen couldn't believe it.

Yao Rong smiled very gently, as if he had met an old friend whom he had not seen for a long time: "Dr. Chen came all the way to the Southwest Base, just to see me and my son. I don't want Dr. Chen to return with regret, so I asked my son to bring you back to show my courtesy."

Dr. Chen subconsciously struggled and brought up the Northwest Base as a threat: "You arrested me, aren't you afraid that the Northwest Base and the Southwest Base will become enemies from now on?"

Yao Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, not taking his threat to heart at all: "Dr. Chen, do you think too highly of your status? With your weight, you dare to talk about affecting the relationship between the Northwest Base and the Southwest Base."

"Besides, is there any evidence to prove that we arrested you?"

Dr. Chen almost bit his tongue until it bled, and said nothing in hatred.

Yao Rong clapped her hands: "Okay, I won't talk about those idle words anymore, let's talk about business."

"Dr. Chen, you should know the reason why we captured you. In order to avoid any physical pain, you should take the initiative to tell us what you know."

Dr. Chen sneered, with a look of disobedience on his face: "Since you and No. 9 escaped, Dr. Xiao Bai no longer trusts me. What can I know?"

"Yes, Xiao Bai no longer trusts you, so why should you keep secrets for him?" Yao Rong said while looking at Dr. Chen's expression, "Unless, Xiao Bai uses some means to control you."

Dr. Chen's expression was so cold that he was almost numb.

This expression fell into Yao Rong's eyes, which meant that he tacitly agreed with what she said.

Yao Rong lowered her eyes, picked up a pair of plastic gloves from the tray, put them on slowly, and then picked up a tightly wrapped syringe.

The syringe was half filled with medicine, emitting a strange pink color.

"Dr. Chen should recognize this medicine."

She walked towards Dr. Chen step by step: "Yes, this thing was searched from you. Didn't you plan to use it against my son before?"

"Tell me, if Lu Fei really picked up the cat that day, what would he encounter."

Yao Rong bent down slightly, ignoring Dr. Chen's struggle, and pushed the syringe very carefully and gently.

Dr. Chen's eyes showed horror, and he struggled even harder, his voice shrill: "No, you can't inject me with this damn stuff."

Yao Rong was not affected at all, and his hand pushing the syringe was very steady.

Seeing that the drug was about to drip onto the back of his hand, Dr. Chen shouted, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything! Don't use this on me!" He was a man who made a living by using his brain. If he really got this stuff on him, he would be finished.

Yao Rong raised the corner of her lips slightly and moved the syringe away.

However, she moved it too slowly, and a small drop of the drug still splashed onto the back of Dr. Chen's hand and quickly sank into Dr. Chen's skin.

Dr. Chen cursed, "I was already planning to confess, how could you! Yao Rong, how could you do this!"

After making sure that Dr. Chen's psychological defenses had completely collapsed, Yao Rong put the syringe back into the tray: "So it was only a small drop that fell on you, not all of it."

Dr. Chen choked with anger.

Yao Rong took off her plastic gloves and winked at Lu Fei.

Lu Fei quickly brought the lie detector.

Yao Rong tied it to Dr. Chen himself: "I hope Dr. Chen is sincere in cooperating with us this time. If the lie detector shows that you lied, I will use the medicine in the syringe. Anyway, I can always ask what I want to ask."

Dr. Chen was scared and broke out in a cold sweat. He said dully: "Ask."

Yao Rong sat back in the chair: "Very good. The first question is the detailed effect of this medicine."

Dr. Chen lowered his head.

The medicine that fell on him was taking effect

. He opened his mouth to answer, not daring to hide a word, half of which was sincere cooperation and half of which was due to the effect of the medicine.

"This drug destroys the central nervous system and part of the mind to make people obedient."

Lu Fei was shocked. The twenty-odd beatings were not enough.

Destroy part of the mind?

Don't think he doesn't understand. If he is really hit by this drug, he will become mentally retarded.

After attacking his body, they even want to attack his brain. What a vicious mind.

Over there, Dr. Chen continued to answer Yao Rong's questions.

Dr. Chen has become a marginal figure in the Ninth Institute, but he is the head of the institute anyway. He knows a lot of secrets of the Ninth Institute.

For example, from Dr. Chen, Yao Rong and others know that the Ninth Institute has not only reached cooperation with the Northwest Base, but also has many close contacts with the Hope, Southeast, and Flame Bases.

"Of course, after you escaped, I don't know whether the Ninth Research Institute has cooperated with other bases."

After hearing this news, even Fang Weijue couldn't sit still.

A year ago, the Ninth Research Institute had already reached a cooperation with the four major bases. How powerful will it be now?

Two hours later, Dr. Chen looked tired: "I have answered all your questions. Are you satisfied?"

Yao Rong said: "I have one last question. How does Xiao Bai control you?"

Dr. Chen closed his eyes: "...It is a drug that is several times more addictive than drugs."

"How often does it occur?"

"Half a month."

Yao Rong nodded and looked around at everyone: "Then let's stop here tonight?"

Fang Weijue and Fang Shaoyuan stood up and left at the same time, leaving this place to Yao Rong and Lu Fei.

Lu Fei blew air into his fist, approached Dr. Chen step by step, and beat Dr. Chen until he was fatter.

He took two steps back, admired his performance art, turned around and asked Yao Rong: "Does it look like dough puffing up?"

"It does look like it."

"Then let's go back." Lu Fei turned around and left first.

Yao Rong fell behind a few steps and said to Dr. Chen: "Don't worry, I will do my best to save your life."

Hearing Yao Rong's assurance, Dr. Chen not only did not feel any joy, but also a little more fear on his face.

***

Today is the 16th day of the lunar calendar, the moon is particularly round, and it clearly illuminates the way home.

Yao Rong and Lu Fei walked one after the other.

Lu Fei suddenly took two quick steps and caught up with Yao Rong: "Dr. Yao, why do you think those bases want to cooperate with the Ninth Institute?"

"Some people have already possessed power and prestige that few people can match, but they are still greedy."

"You mean, they want too much, right?"

Yao Rong smiled. This explanation was really easy to understand: "You can understand it that way."

Lu Fei said: "Then I want a lot too."

Yao Rong reached out to catch a handful of watery moonlight: "What do you want."

Lu Fei scratched his head and said shyly: "I want to go back to the life before the end of the world. If I wake up and find that everything is a dream, and no one has experienced these pains, how great it would be."

Yao Rong smiled at his innocent heart.

"What about you? Dr. Yao, what do you want?"

The villa was just in front of him.

Yao Rong did not answer this question immediately.

She pushed open the door of the villa, walked straight to the corner, pointed at the sunflowers that were at the end of their blooming period, and looked back at Lu Fei.

Before, she didn't set a particularly high goal all at once, but just told him that she wanted to plant sunflowers all over the base.

But now, this small goal has been achieved.

So -

"I hope that one day, sunflowers can bloom from the rotten soil and spread all over the fallen cities where zombies are rampant."

***

After that night, Yao Rong continued to devote herself to the experiment.

During the trip, Dr. Chen's illness relapsed, and someone hurried over to report to Yao Rong. Yao Rong finished the task at hand and then went to the prison to visit him.

His arms, neck, and all the exposed skin were covered with scratches. Although he had passed out, his body was still convulsing, and his face was pale.

"Don't let him commit suicide. Try to save his life."

After leaving these two sentences, Yao Rong left the prison.

The production of the supernatural bracelet has come to an end. After repeated tests and experiments, Yao Rong and her research team finally succeeded in mastering this technology.

However, this artificially made game bracelet has a fatal flaw -

perhaps because of the material problem, or perhaps because of the rules of this big world, the level limit of the God-given game bracelet is 100, and the level limit of the artificial game bracelet is only 50.

In addition, the materials used to make the game bracelet are very rare, and the process is extremely difficult. All of this will limit the mass production of the game bracelet.

But these defects are not worth mentioning in front of the research results.

"Compared to the perfect human plan, this one is the real miracle."

Lu Fei stood in front of the glass cabinet, looking at the artificial game bracelets emitting different colors, and exclaimed.

In the evening, Fang Weijue hurried to the research institute after hearing the good news.

After listening to Yao Rong's report, he was delighted: "How long will it take to produce 1,000?"

Yao Rong gave a number: "Three months if there are enough materials."

Fang Weijue made a promise: "I will gather these materials at all costs."

With the entire base as a backing, a steady stream of materials were sent to the research institute like water.

Three months later, the research institute successfully mass-produced a thousand game bracelets. In order to obtain these one thousand game bracelets, the materials stockpiled in the southwest base were almost exhausted.

Fang Weijue selected a thousand soldiers from the army who were absolutely loyal to the base and had outstanding physical qualities, intending to use them to build a 50-level superpower army.

The position of the commander of this army is temporarily vacant.

The deputy generals were Lu Fei, Song Xiuping and Zheng Shuiqing.

At first, when he learned about the appointment, Lu Fei quarreled and struggled, and told Yao Rong that he couldn't do it. Yao Rong made a bet with him, asking him to try for three months. If he still felt that he was not competent after three months, he would be allowed to withdraw from the army.

"You can't tell me that you can't do it without trying hard."

"I don't approve of such behavior, nor do I accept such reasons."

Lu Fei knew that his approach was unreasonable, so he reluctantly agreed.

Well, it's better to suffer for three months than for three years. Anyway, he is definitely not competent.

However, when Lu Fei really joined the army's daily training and listened to Fang Shaoyuan, Zheng Shuiqing and others giving him lessons, he found that all this did not seem unbearable.

Half a month later, these soldiers who had just received the game bracelets had basically adapted to their superpowers. After discussing with each other, Lu Fei, Song Xiuping and Zheng Shuiqing decided to take them out of the city to kill zombies.

With three people leading the formation and these soldiers' strong fighting qualities, they were safe all the way.

On the way back, Lu Fei asked Song Xiuping: "Brother Song, didn't I buy a few sacks of raw melon seeds and leave them with you?"

He took a small bag from Song Xiuping. Carrying the melon seeds, Lu Fei easily jumped to the top of the hillside, and with a wave of his hand, the melon seeds scattered everywhere. When he returned to the base, he had already spread a whole bag.

Time passed in one mission after another.

When the three-month deadline came, Lu Fei and his team hurried back to the base along the way they had taken back to the city.

"Huh? Look what that is!"

"It's a sunflower!"

"Are all the flowers in our base blooming here?"

"No, someone must have planted them on purpose."

"Planting sunflowers in this place, what a romantic idea." Inside

the military truck, everyone exclaimed as they admired the sunflowers.

Song Xiuping was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look for Lu Fei.

Lu Fei sat on top of the military truck, looking at the sea of ​​sunflowers in the distance, his legs hanging in the air, his hands resting behind him, sitting comfortably, his eyes beaming.

He wore a cool blue military uniform with the buttons undone. His boyish immaturity was diluted, and he was more vigorous and capable.
