"Chief, Professor Yang from the laboratory is already waiting for you in the office."
Commander Xia had just stood up and given a few instructions when soldiers immediately came running over.
"Okay, let's go back now."
Chief Xia and his men immediately returned to the office. Professor Yang, who had been waiting for a long time, had a document in his hand. When he saw Chief Xia come in, he immediately handed the document to him.
"Captain, we've figured it out. The reason the world has changed so dramatically is because a new element has suddenly appeared in the air. This element can alter our bodies and help us evolve, but if some people can't handle it, this special element can also damage human DNA. The zombies and mutant animals we see today are all the result of this destruction, creating another species."
"An An, I've also studied their fur, but I still haven't figured out what the differences are."
Chief Xia flipped through the experimental report in his hand. "So those of us who didn't turn into zombies are considered the lucky ones in this evolution?"
Professor Yang nodded. "That's understandable. It's just not as fantastical as in novels, like developing supernatural powers or something like that. But if you can survive in air containing this kind of material for a long time, the special substances in your body will accumulate. Even if you don't develop supernatural powers, your strength will grow. We'll need to study the specific benefits, as we don't have enough experimental data right now."
Chief Xia put down the materials in his hand and pointed to the stool next to him, motioning for Professor Yang to sit down. "The experiment needs to continue. You can try the ancient martial arts mentioned in the ancient books to see if this can increase the accumulation of special substances in the body."
After Professor Yang sat down, he asked in confusion, "What does the chief mean?"
"According to the news from below, some of the young men in our army who have practiced ancient martial arts have also increased their strength to varying degrees, and the speed at which their strength increases far exceeds that of ordinary soldiers. So I suspect it has something to do with the kung fu they practice."
"That's very possible. I'll give it a try when I get back." They were completely confused about this special substance and could only study it slowly by feeling their way forward.
…
After An Jingzhi left, Captain Lu led his soldiers and began to use firepower to clean out the worker bees. Without the queen bee, all the worker bees were blown into ashes by the artillery fire.
"Captain, this is good, our Shudu is completely safe!"
Captain Lu was delighted to hear this, but his expression remained serious. "Safe? There are still many zombies in the surrounding provinces. Our province is safe, but zombies from other provinces will come over. If we want to be completely safe, we have to kill all the other zombies. These zombies can evolve."
Captain Lu's words extinguished the joy in the soldiers' hearts.
They have forgotten that these zombies can evolve, and those mutated animals can also evolve, except themselves.
The reason he said that was because he was afraid that these soldiers would underestimate the enemy, become lax in their hearts, and only want to defend their small piece of land.
Seeing the soldiers' expressions, Captain Lu offered comfort. "Don't lose heart. Our industry is slowly being rebuilt, bit by bit. Since we've reclaimed a lot of land, food isn't as scarce at the base as it was before. I believe that as long as we work hard, sooner or later, we'll be able to wipe out all these zombies."
After listening to his advice, the soldiers felt somewhat comforted.
Compared with people in other bases, the people in Shudu are already lucky enough.
…
Another half month passed.
"Old Wu, why are you running so fast? I've been calling you from behind for a long time."
"How am I supposed to grab the missions if I don't run quickly? Don't hold me back, or all the missions will be gone if you're any later!"
Old Wu said as he anxiously pulled his friend away.
"Okay, okay, let's run together. What mission is there at the base? Do you have to rob like this?"
"Help maintain order! There's no danger, just help lead people, like a tour guide. You'll earn a lot of points!"
The two talked as they ran.
"What? Why don't I know this?"
Old Wu looked very proud. "I just heard my kid talking about it a while ago. We need to run faster, otherwise all the missions will be snatched up by then."
"Your boy is really lucky. He just happened to catch up with the recruitment. After he enters, your family will never have to worry about food and drink. It's a pity that my son is not old enough and I am too old."
"Hehe, just luck. Our base needs to carry out large-scale construction and maintain order. He is just a handyman, following others to clean out the remaining zombies in the house every day."
"When the vacant houses are vacated, our housing situation won't be so tight. My family of three is huddled in a 20-square-meter space, and it's inconvenient to do anything."
The two talked as they ran and soon arrived at the mission square.
"I sign up to be the guide!"
"I'm signing up too! My mom is from Jiang City, and I can speak their dialect! I have a language advantage!"
"What advantage do you have? Who doesn't speak Mandarin these days? I used to be in sales, so I have a communication advantage!"
When Old Wu and the other man saw that the line had already started to form, they quickly ran to the end of the line and joined the queue.
In front of me was a soldier in military uniform sitting on a stool with a computer in front of him. He was registering people one by one and screening out those who were unqualified on the spot.
These people have all registered some information in the base. After he enters the other party's name and base identity, the computer can clearly display the other party's identity information.
You can probably tell who is suitable and who is not.
The guide they were looking for this time was to bring the residents of Jiang City over. The situation there was truly dire; most of the population had already vanished, many places were uninhabitable, and many had been struck by missiles. Since it was so close, Commander Xia decided to relocate these people to their own capital, Shu.
They now have to engage in industrial production, agricultural production, and they also need a lot of soldiers to maintain public order.
We can only publish the task and ask everyone to help.
The soldiers cleared the way at the outermost edge and were responsible for dealing with the zombies, while they, the guides, were responsible for comforting the civilians inside.
The aim is to help these people adapt to life at their base more quickly and join production as soon as possible.
The work of these guides is not dangerous at all and the rewards are generous, which is why they are sought after by the entire base.
They didn't have to go to Jiang City in person. They just had to pick up the people fleeing from Jiang City along the path cleared by the soldiers.
