Furthermore, during this period, with the reinforcement of the defensive wall, although zombies still attacked every day, the remote monitoring system ensured that the zombies were eliminated before they could climb the wall.
Air traffic was also reopened. Although the zombies had left the oil field area, a large number of mutated animals were waiting for them outside the oil field!
Therefore, everyone must not let their guard down. The supplies in the base will eventually run out. The food is currently managed by Dr. Wang. With the heating resources, although the sunlight is not strong, it can still simulate sunlight for plant growth. The plants grow slowly, but it can still supply the food in the base.
The only problem is that there aren't many building materials inside the base, so they have to be sourced from outside the oil field. Although the zombies are dangerous, they also provide a natural protective barrier for the base. After several days of observation, it seems that the mutated animals won't launch surprise attacks, so the security issues within the base can be somewhat alleviated.
"We need to organize manpower to go out and search for resources. The first problem to solve is still the issue of metal materials. We will continue to use the scavenging team policy within the base. All the vehicles needed for going out have been released within the safe house area. The scavenger teams will first take a helicopter from the base to the safe house, and then take cars from the safe house to go out and carry out search missions." Xiao Lin was assigning tasks in the base's high command.
“The construction within the base requires a large amount of metal materials, but the metal materials that were previously stockpiled have been almost used up when building the defensive walls. Therefore, the primary task of the scavenger teams going out is to collect metal materials.”
"If you encounter survivors, first ask them if they want to join the base. Bring back all those who want to join. Natural disasters are merciless, but people are compassionate. The base needs to expand, and humanity needs to unite so that we can jointly resist disasters!"
After hearing Xiao Lin's arrangements, everyone nodded in agreement. In this zombie-infested world, unity was key to their survival. The scavenger team members quickly prepared, their equipment neatly assembled in the center of the base.
Xia He stood at the front of the line, watching each scavenger with a deep sense of responsibility. Her two little ones watched quietly from the side; their trust and reliance on Xia He strengthened her resolve to continue.
"Let's go!" Xia He waved her hand, the helicopter started up, and the scavenger team embarked on their journey to the safe house.
Inside the base, the cycle of life and battle continues, with everyone striving to survive in this cruel and challenging new world.
Meanwhile, the associate professor's research on zombies has made new progress. Xiao Lin and Xia He arrived at Professor Fu's laboratory, where they saw a zombie constantly ramming against the glass walls in a glass house. Professor Fu stood outside the glass, carefully observing the zombie.
"Xiao Lin, you've arrived. I was just about to send you to find me." Professor Fu looked at Xiao Lin with a very serious expression.
"Any new developments?" Xiao Lin asked.
"Based on my research over this period, I've discovered that zombies have no sense of pain. The cells in their bodies have long since died. They can only move by relying on the support of their muscles and nerves. Furthermore, zombies possess a primal desire: to eat! This desire drives them to constantly search for food." Dr. Fu said with a serious expression.
"Although the cells inside a zombie are already dead, there is a virus in their genes. This virus can be transmitted through blood. Anyone scratched or bitten by a zombie will come into contact with the virus, causing the infected person to lose normal physiological and mental functions and become a terrifying zombie."
Xia He and Xiao Lin both wore serious expressions upon hearing Dr. Fu's explanation. The existence of the zombie virus poses a far more serious threat to the entire world; it is an extremely dangerous biological weapon.
Dr. Fu continued, "More importantly, I discovered that this zombie virus is highly variable. Different individuals may exhibit different characteristics after infection, and they can evolve autonomously."
After hearing this, Xiao Lin and Xia He took a deep breath. Dr. Fu continued, "There is very little I can research at the moment. There is not much that can be extracted from the zombie virus. I heard you say that you saw the influence of the previous researchers in that abandoned research institute. I have a favor to ask."
Xiao Lin said to Dr. Fu, "Do you want us to go back to that abandoned research institute again to see if there is any usable research data inside?"
Dr. Fu lowered his head, nodded after a long while, and then fell silent again.
Xiao Lin said, "Professor Fu, rest assured, leave it to us."
Xia He nodded in agreement, "Yes, Professor Fu, we will do our best to find clues about the zombie virus, and at the same time check whether there is any data that can be used for research in the abandoned research institute."
Professor Fu looked up at Xia He and Xiao Lin, his eyes filled with expectation and trust. He knew this mission was fraught with danger, but he also understood that it was for a deeper understanding of the zombie virus, providing more clues to combat future threats.
"Thank you. This mission is very important and very dangerous. But if we can obtain useful information, it will be a huge help to our research on the zombie virus," Professor Fu said earnestly.
After Xiao Lin and Xia He left Professor Fu's laboratory, Xiao Lin said, "Xia He, the zombies are extremely powerful now. We can't guarantee our absolute safety on this trip. So, would you like to stay at the base?"
Xia He looked at Xiao Lin's serious gaze and shook her head. "I can't stay at the base. This mission is crucial to the future of all humanity, and the zombies are so dangerous. I'm worried about you going alone."
