Chapter 361
The base is very lively during the day, because everyone watches the explanations of the exercises playing on the big screen, and exchanges their thoughts and experiences with each other. There is constant news that someone has cultivated internal strength, which further motivates everyone to practice the exercises.
When the sun was about to set, the broadcast in the base sounded and everyone immediately went home, not daring to delay outside. Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing were quite authoritative in the base, and their words were rarely questioned. Now that the skills had been announced, it was believed that even if someone questioned them, they would be drowned in the saliva of others. Even those students and teachers who initially wanted to fight for their rights were now very well behaved.
Not only are they well-behaved, many people have become fans of Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing because they can fulfill their dreams of becoming heroes.
While there is all this commotion going on, you should practice more martial arts. If you develop inner strength, your treatment in the base will also improve.
It was completely dark. I opened the curtains and found an evil blood-red moon rising in the sky outside, casting an ominous shadow over the earth. The people in the house were so scared that they quickly drew down the curtains and went back inside, not daring to look anymore.
Yuan Jing and Ling Shaoyang stood at the highest point of the mountain where the strange beasts were. They looked at the strange blood moon in the sky and felt that both the viruses and energy in the air around them were extremely active. They could hear the roars of zombies and strange beasts from far and near. Even in this mountain, they could hear rustling sounds, which were the rapid growth of plants in the mountain because of the energy.
With the three tails of intimidation, the strange beasts in the mountains did not roar loudly, but they all crawled on the ground. They would also undergo a transformation that night.
Although the virus in the air was more active, it could not affect Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing.
Yuan Jing said: "I now believe that this is the earth trying to restart, which is why the end of the world is coming."
Ling Shaoyang said thoughtfully: "Maybe this world wants to evolve. It may be the end of the world for humans, but it may be evolution for the world. If humans cannot adapt to this evolutionary process, they will be eliminated."
"How ruthless." Yuan Jing sighed, but at the same time he had a deeper understanding of the way of heaven and the laws of the world.
At this moment, the trace of the origin of the world that he integrated into his soul was quickly refined by him and became his true power. Even his soul was undergoing a transformation at this moment.
The entire Hope Base fell into complete darkness. The original electrical appliances were no longer functioning. The patrol teams on the streets were still performing their duties. Yuan Jing and Ling Shaoyang began to walk around. If they found anyone who could not hold on and showed signs of turning into a zombie, they would send them out immediately.
No one wants to hide it, because there is a chance of recovery if it is sent out, because the antidote is in the base.
In the original world trajectory, there was once a base that was caught off guard by the blood moon, resulting in chaos within the base. The blood moon caused the survivors to experience another wave of purges, and the number of surviving humans was even smaller.
The extremely long night for everyone was finally over, and those who had endured the night could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The most serious thing that happened at night was that a psychic suddenly fell to the ground, and black lines appeared on his exposed skin, a very obvious zombie phenomenon, which shocked everyone.
Fortunately, Yuan Jing and Ling Shaoyang appeared in time, gave the mutant who was about to turn into a zombie an antidote, and watched the black lines on his body fade away before leaving.
This also made everyone very scared. If they were not prepared, a zombie transformed from a mutant suddenly appeared in the base, and they didn't know how much damage it would cause to the base. The zombie transformed from a mutant would definitely be an evolved zombie with stronger strength, and the superpower would also become the zombie's superpower.
When the sun rises again, the world has become very different. There are evolved zombies and mutated plants and animals everywhere. The surviving humans not only have to fight against the evolved zombies, but also face the threat of alien beasts and plants. The human living space is further compressed.
The soil and water sources that were not contaminated before have also changed, and the presence of zombie viruses has been detected in them. If the virus is not eliminated, food cannot be grown and drinking water has become a problem.
At this time, the importance of water-based mutants is highlighted. Even if they don't have much combat power, they can get corresponding points by supplying water to the base.
As for the issue of grain cultivation, because the foresighted psychic had predicted it in advance, all bases after the end of the world have paid attention to the issue of soilless cultivation. Now that the foresighted psychic has confirmed what the foresighted psychic had predicted, the research and cultivation of soilless cultivation has received the greatest attention.
I hope the base is the same, so it was not caught off guard by the soil contamination. Everything is developing in an orderly manner. Yuan Jing also entered the laboratory again. Other teams also have heavy tasks. How to purify water and soil are problems that need to be solved, and the interrupted communications and electricity also urgently need to be restored.
Ling Shaoyang led his men to clean up the evolved zombies that were rushing towards the base, and collected various mutated animal, plant and mineral resources and sent them to the laboratory for screening.
"Success! We finally found a substitute. This way, the antidote can be mass-produced." There was cheering in the laboratory.
Yuan Jing was also very happy. The spiritual plants in the space could not be planted. Even if they were planted alive, they would mutate and change their performance due to the energy from the outside. Therefore, finding substitutes was a must. All things in the world are interdependent and mutually exclusive. Sure enough, a mutated plant that could solve the virus was found in nature.
As soon as the new antidote formula came out, the base officially issued a task to search for the alien plant required in the formula and describe the specific characteristics of the alien plant. Many teams came to take up the task because one of the rewards for the task was the antidote.
"I have the latest news. These exotic plants are the materials needed to make the antidote, so they are particularly important. This antidote was developed by the team led by Leader Yuan."
"Is the leader so powerful?"
"Of course it's amazing. Look at those bases outside, including the one in the imperial capital, none of them can come up with an antidote. Only our Hope Base can do it."
"Yes, that night many people were about to turn into zombies, and they were saved only by the antidote. Fortunately, we came to Hope Base. If we had gone to other bases, we would not have had such good luck."
"I also heard that after we find these alien plant materials this time, the supply of antidotes will not be a problem. When you go out of the base to kill zombies in the future, just bring one or two bottles of antidotes with you. You won't have to worry about being caught by zombies anymore."
These messages were specially released by the base. Even if there were spies, there was no way to send the messages out in time. After seeing the reward for this task, almost all the teams accepted it without hesitation and left the base one after another to find the materials needed in the laboratory as soon as possible. It didn't matter even if the car couldn't start, they could just take Route 11 to get out.
Each team is very motivated and hopes to get the antidote before other teams.
The number of mercenaries registered at the base now has increased several times compared to before the Blood Moon. Not only has a group of people with special abilities been inspired by the Blood Moon, but the number of people who have cultivated internal strength has also increased. Their increased strength has allowed these people to dare to leave the base and join the battle.
So boxes of designated materials were delivered to Yuan Jing, and he led his men to produce bottle of antidote and put it into the base. The antidote No. 2 produced now can eliminate the second-level zombie virus, and even the third-level zombie virus can be alleviated to a certain extent.
Under Yuan Jing's leadership, other laboratories dared not slack off and produced results one after another. Soon, the power supply in the base was restored, the research on water purification equipment made great progress, the communication within the base was restored, and covered some surrounding areas. It was only a matter of time before contacts with other bases were restored in the future.
The population of the base has also increased greatly, from more than 20,000 people to more than 100,000 people. The population growth has put the expansion of the base on the agenda, so the construction of the second city wall began.
Even though the outside world is so dangerous nowadays, there are still some people who are willing to take risks to make a profit. They bring the antidote from Hope Base to other bases and see with their own eyes that the antidote works. The other bases are shocked, believing that Hope Base really has the antidote.
"We need to send someone to Hope Base to negotiate with their leader. If we can get the formula, that would be the best. If not, we need to trade for a batch of antidotes."
"Yes, we need an antidote. If we had known that they had really developed an effective antidote, we should have united various bases to put pressure on them before the blood moon. I don't believe that they would not make the formula public."
"Forget it, it's too late to talk about this now. The key is to get the antidote successfully."
The nearby bases have already sent teams of psychics to the Hope Base, and the bases far away will receive the news at night, but the measures they will take will probably be nothing more than negotiations and deals. If the Hope Base is weaker than their base, they may use direct force to deter it, but it is obvious that the Hope Base, which has two cultivation methods and strange beasts to keep it at bay, is not weaker than them.
The news from Shouxing Base was delayed because the base was originally relatively weak and had a small number of psychics. Even after experiencing the blood moon, it was still far inferior to other bases.
Moreover, the Shouxing base was facing a trouble. After the blood moon, the number of zombies and strange beasts appearing outside the Shouxing base increased day by day. Even though Zou Haiyang sent people out to clear them out every day, they still couldn't stop the zombies from pouring in.
“Brother Zou, what should we do? Level 3 zombies have appeared. We can’t stop them.”
The psychics in the base now have been promoted to level two as the strongest ones, because they have practiced the skills passed down from the Hope Base and with the stimulation of the Blood Moon. They are also among the strongest in other bases. However, zombies are better adapted to this apocalyptic world than humans. Shouxing Base is increasingly unable to stop the zombies, not to mention the appearance of strange beasts. They are not as well-behaved as they were in Yuan Jing's hands, and the strange beasts have begun to compete with humans for land.
"We can't keep the level three zombie alive, otherwise if it gets close to the base, it will bring us a great disaster. We can't let it go on like this. This time I will lead the team myself and find a way to get rid of that level three zombie." Zou Haiyang knew the seriousness of the situation and gave the order.
"Brother Zou, that would be very dangerous!"
"No matter how dangerous it is, someone has to do it, otherwise more people will die."
Zou Haiyang made up his mind and was prepared to never come back, so before taking people out to hunt the third-level zombie, he transferred the power of the base to Xia Wenhai.
In this battle with the third-level zombie, the people in Shouxing base fought very hard and ran out of bullets. In the end, Zou Haiyang personally killed the zombie at the cost of exchanging injuries. Zou Haiyang himself almost died at the hands of the zombie and was finally carried back to the base.
The atmosphere in the base was very depressing, because most of the people who went out did not come back alive, and the rest might turn into zombies, which made the managers of the base feel very heavy.
Zou Haiyang recalled what Yuan Jing and Ling Shaoyang had said to him before they left. Now that he thought about it, maybe they had anticipated the current situation and the future of Shouxing Base. This time, only one level 3 zombie almost wiped out their team. What if there were two next time? Don't say it's impossible. At first, they thought that the evolved zombies were the most serious.
It seems too difficult for Zou Haiyang to protect this home. The Shouxing base is too weak. If something goes wrong, the entire base will be destroyed. It is time to take action.
"I propose that we lead all the survivors in the base to join a larger base. We cannot delay any longer. The longer we delay, the more serious the situation will become."
"But with so many people, it's going to be difficult to transfer them all. Not everyone may be willing to listen to us."
"We will mobilize everyone. If they really don't want to go, we will take away those who are willing to go with us." Zou Haiyang said with a determined heart, "Think about it, the land is seriously polluted and the water is not drinkable. Our base is too weak and we don't even have the most basic scientific research capabilities. If the existing food is consumed, we won't even be able to feed the population of the base."
These words made the others no longer hesitate. Yes, if it was before the blood moon, their Shouxing base could still be maintained and they could enjoy the comfort here, but now the danger they are facing is getting more and more serious. It is time to make a decision, otherwise it will kill everyone.
"Okay, we'll listen to Brother Zou and mobilize all our people to move to other bases as soon as possible."
