Chapter 81 Team 2's Suspicion
Xia Guang felt embarrassed to be stared at, and expressed his thoughts: "The entrance to the base was very strict before, but the conditions were relaxed before the acid rain.
Although many people died due to the insect plague, it can be said that it was to replenish the population. But why did the base officials announce that acid rain would cause mutations only after it rained?
What a coincidence, it just happened to be revealed now that it will cause another mutation, as if someone is controlling it!"
The younger brother Xia Qi patted his brother's shoulder with satisfaction: "It's great that you can think of so much!"
Xia Guang looked at his teammates in confusion: "What does this mean? Have you thought of this a long time ago?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Qi gave him an affirmative look.
Zhang Xiaobai: "The smell of District 5, do you smell anything?"
Zhao Yunyao was the first to raise her hand: "A few days before it was about to rain, there was a faint smell of medicine!"
Xia Guang watched everyone nod in tacit understanding, especially Du Tao who said he smelled it too, which made him even more confused.
Zhang Xiaobai: “Yes, the smell is very faint, and it is hard to smell it under the stench of Area 5. Even if you smell it, you will just think it is the smell left by insecticide, or the odor blocking agent sprayed regularly at the base.
It’s not certain yet, but it’s doubtful.”
Xia Guang: "So that smell is related to this mutation?"
Liu Chuchun: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. Moreover, a large number of sensing devices were suddenly added today. Something must have happened that we don't know about."
Pu Zhi: Yes, you are right.
Of course she wouldn't say it, but she didn't expect that the people in Team 2 were more careful than she thought.
Zhang Xiaobai frowned: "The rain came strangely, as if it was deliberately controlled, or as if someone knew about it in advance."
Xia Qi crossed his legs expressionlessly, and put his hands on his legs. "If the base took in a large number of survivors for the purpose of mutation after the acid rain, then it is very likely that they are doing a gene mutation experiment. Whether it is the acid rain that caused the residents to mutate, or the people behind it secretly spread the drug among the residents in advance and used the acid rain to cover it up, it is not good news."
Pu Zhi lowered her eyes, struggling internally as to whether or not to tell others the news that someone had been reborn. She wasn't telling anyone about herself, but about the video she had saved on her phone that said she had a dream about the end of the world.
But in the end, she decided not to say it. Everything was still uncertain, and revealing more would increase the danger.
Zhang Xiaobai also agreed with Xia Qi's point of view, and reminded him worriedly: "No matter what kind of rain it is in the future, it's best not to get wet for safety reasons. The base can't be fully trusted, understand?"
The people behind this have big plans, and we won’t know anything until we are fully confident.”
This time Xia Qi understood, he knew nothing.
After a night of catching up on their sleep, everyone woke up to see the 30,000 points sent by the base officials.
As a reward for protecting the base these days.
Zhang Xiaobai used more than 10,000 points to exchange for crystal cores, which, together with the team's inventory, was enough for Zhao Yunyao and Xia Guang to upgrade.
Zhao Yunyao absorbed it first and demonstrated to everyone the changes after reaching level three.
First of all, she can carry more things, which can transform into a shadow with her, weighing about 20 kilograms, but they cannot be living things. At level 2, she can only carry a gun and a knife at most, besides clothes, and can't carry more.
Secondly, she can perform shadow jumps. At level 2, she can only move around in the shadowed area. Once she leaves the shadow range, she will turn into her original form.
But now, even if the two shadows are not connected, she can jump over them as a shadow, with a maximum distance of 5 meters. This will make her more flexible.
It was half an hour later when Xia Qi came out. He had a stern face and it was obvious that not much had changed.
As the younger brother, Xia Qi was the first to step forward to comfort him: "It's okay, our combined special moves are the most powerful!"
Unexpectedly, Xia Guang's expression changed and he burst into laughter. He rolled up his sleeves and pretended to show off his skills to everyone: "Don't underestimate me! Watch me!"
As the words fell, dozens of thumb-sized flames appeared out of thin air in the villa and floated in the air.
Xia Guang looked at so many flames and laughed more and more wildly. He was destined to be a master of murder and arson!
Everyone was very happy for him. Although it didn't have much killing power, it was much better than the small flame before. It was a good thing that he was so optimistic.
If used well on the battlefield, it might even have miraculous effects.
No zombies came in the next few days, and Team 2 went out to complete a few missions.
Taking advantage of the free time, Pu Zhi went out alone again.
I still have three little ones to upgrade, so I can't waste time.
She only brought a few bottles of odor-blocking spray symbolically. This thing has little effect on zombies above level 2 and is not as useful as her own cards of the same type.
As soon as we left the base, there was an iron fence outside. The previous spray was no longer effective, and hundreds of zombies were attracted by the human scent every day.
The base had no choice but to install a fence outside and clean it regularly every day.
Just as Pu Zhi drove out, several agile zombies rushed in. The on-duty personnel took up their laser guns and shot through their legs, making it difficult for them to move. Then they quickly dealt with them and dug out the crystal core. One fifth of this thing could belong to them. The previously boring duty began to become more motivated.
The gate duty job that everyone disliked is now almost everyone is scrambling for, and many people who have no connections have been directly replaced.
…
Outside, just as Pu Zhi was trying hard to kill the zombies, the base contacted Base No. 1, which had developed a special zombie odor-blocking spray that was effective against level two and half as effective against level three.
The matter was of great importance, so the base decided to send out an army and a hunting team. However, considering the extreme temperatures and how cold it was at night, three more hunting teams were sent for safety's sake. With ice-related abilities, they would be much safer at night.
In the past, it took about three to four days to drive to the capital and back. Now, it would take at least ten days to get back.
Five days later.
Qingyin has been digging out crystal cores every day these days, and the branches are numb.
Fortunately, we have collected the crystal cores needed for Xiaoren and Qianli to upgrade.
After entering the space, Pu Zhi and Qing Yin watched over the two beasts as they upgraded.
Qianli absorbed the energy a few minutes faster than Xiaoren. At level four, its size was several times larger than its maximum size at level three.
It is two stories high and is about the size of three elephants put together.
Even though it was so heavy, its speed did not slow down at all. It was so fast that Pu Zhi could only barely see its afterimage.
Sometimes it seemed like there was a missing section in the middle, giving Pu Zhi the illusion of teleporting or traveling through space.
But when I looked at it again, it was gone. Maybe it has potential in this area, but its strength is not enough now and it needs more practice.
