Chapter 155 The First Ally
More than ten days have passed.
The serious injuries suffered by Qiao Lan and others in the encounter with "Wang" and his gang have basically healed.
This is due to their sharper physical fitness than ordinary psychics, the professional and meticulous care of the base's medical center, and of course, the uninterrupted nurturing of the mutant crystal cores provided by Qiao Lan 24 hours a day.
She had a lot of crystal cores in stock. She easily dug out dozens of them from the zombie pile that day. Later, when her injuries had just recovered a little, she returned to the human laboratory to collect another wave, and the harvest was rich.
Aunt He used the underground space of the Sixth Municipal Hospital to build a human laboratory, but most of the living bodies were destroyed by "Wang", and the survivors were quickly transferred away.
Qiao Lan and others were all seriously injured at the time and were rescued by plane. Later, Xiao's detachment and Ye Qi's men formed a search team, blew up the ruins with live ammunition, and searched the laboratory deep underground. They only found many bodies of people and animals who had died, as well as the horrific experimental materials that the enemy had disposed of before leaving.
No trace of the main culprit, Aunt He, was found, and there were no clues in subsequent investigations. It seemed that Aunt He and her group had disappeared out of thin air.
"We must find them and completely eliminate them!"
After waking up, Captain Xiao was furious. The crimes in the laboratory touched his bottom line.
Ye Qi said: "We must pursue and eliminate them. Otherwise, with their ability to create powerful people like the Crown, more dangerous enemies will be created in the future, which will bring disaster to the base and even the entire city. On the other hand--"
He stressed: "We must also strengthen our own capabilities."
If the situation of being suppressed and beaten by the crown and having life and death in its hands happens again, I wonder if we will be lucky enough to survive again.
If you don't become stronger, maybe the next time you die will be the last.
So the forces in Ye Qi Base and Xiao Detachment were integrated.
Xiao's detachment has more than 300 men under his command, mainly well-trained soldiers, as well as guns, ammunition, vehicles, some clothing and supplies, and even a few fighter planes left in the military camp warehouse.
Ye Qi's side has a base of two to three thousand people, with complete medical, logistical, and infrastructure support. Several teams that go out every day can bring back water and various daily necessities. Although the quantity is not large, it can basically maintain operations.
By now, the base has cleared an area spanning an entire city block. The growing construction team has flattened all the dilapidated and dangerous buildings here, renovated and reinforced those that can be occupied, and partitioned off rooms for members to live in.
So, now, the living conditions at the Bloody Dawn base were quite good for the apocalypse. Everyone had a room, a bed, and a blanket. The roads outside the building were clean and tidy, without any piles of debris. There were also many flattened open spaces that could be used for walking, training, and storing supplies. The appearance was neat and tidy, making people feel comfortable.
"Let's join forces. You will be mainly responsible for life support, and I will be mainly responsible for basic security personnel training. As for advanced awakening combat training, you have experience, so you will be the main one and I will be the auxiliary." After discussion, Captain Xiao made this decision.
Very reasonable.
Ye Qi naturally agreed.
So several hundred people from Xiao's detachment moved from the ruins of the military camp in the suburbs to the base, occupied a renovated three-story building and became the base's first ally.
All living necessities such as food, drink, defecation and urination are provided by the base, while they devote all their energy to basic combat training.
Not only did he train himself, but he also brought in strong people from the base to train together, and they became the unified security force of the base.
Those who have already awakened, or have a very good chance of awakening, and those who are willing to endure hardship in exchange for the opportunity to awaken, all participate in the extreme and stimulating training at the base.
By the time Qiao Lan's injuries had almost recovered and he left the base, this stimulating training had successfully stimulated more than ten awakeners.
Including those who were suddenly awakened by luck, the new members, and the original few, there are now a total of 31 awakened people in the base.
Although they are basically all novices, Ye Qi has set up a set of combat + ability training processes for them, and takes them out for actual combat every two days, so everyone's combat effectiveness is steadily improving.
"The speed is still too slow." Ye Qi sent Qiao Lan out of the base. The two walked side by side, chatting as they walked.
As soon as his injury healed a little, he started getting out of bed and busy himself, and he was busy all day long. Although the two of them were nominally a couple, the total time they spent together during this period did not exceed two hours, and there were always other people around them.
So this farewell at this moment was actually the first time I was alone after the war.
But there was no sweet talk about love, they just talked about business.
Ye Qi was dissatisfied with the speed at which the base produced awakened people.
The base has expanded to more than 3,000 people, but the awakened ones are only in their early 30s, which is equivalent to a ratio of one percent.
Outside the clean base and the newly built thick walls, there is a completely different scene - it is still a messy ruined city, and the sight is devastated.
Qiao Lan pointed at the ruins near and far and said, "Be content. It's already great that the base has so many awakened people. Although the ratio is not high, most of them are not useless. You have more than 30 people who can be used."
You know, during the initial outbreak of mutations, although there were many mutated people, in some places there might be only one awakened person among dozens of people, or even one among ten people. The ratio seemed very good, but there were too many useless abilities.
For example, the ability to solidify snot, the ability to suddenly die in sleep, the ability to eat a hundred bowls of rice a day... These boring and absurd abilities have no other effect except to make the awakened person die faster.
There are also those who have no awakened abilities, but suddenly grow extra organs and limbs on their bodies, and they are not necessarily mutants of human organs. They are also useless. Not only can they not reproduce, most of them are beaten to death as monsters.
These are all junk mutations that will gradually be eliminated.
The awakened ones in the Scarlet Dawn base are all normal, and their superpowers can be used for fighting or assisting, so if you calculate carefully, the effective awakening rate is quite high.
Ye Qi said: "The stimulation training process will continue to be optimized. We will make timely adjustments to the problems exposed in the early stage and strive to increase the probability of stimulation awakening and speed up the process. However..."
He exhaled, looked at the overcast and gray sky and said, "I just don't know if our speed can catch up with the enemy's laboratory."
Qiao Lan patted his shoulder and consoled him, "Of course they can't catch up. Don't worry, they're producing mutants and beasts very quickly, and the potent potions are more effective than natural stimulants. Plus, they don't have to worry about the death toll. They can just keep producing as many as they want, no matter how many die. So you can give up on chasing Saint Yes."
Success made Ye Qi's already depressed mood even more depressed.
He stopped, looked at Qiao Lan helplessly for a few seconds, then reached out and pulled her into his arms.
