Chapter 73: The great sound is silent, the mother source is annihilated!
Increase information?
Cheng Ye had an idea and quickly entered the room with Haixing in his arms and kicked the door shut.
Liu Bi mentioned before that the reason why this starfish was named "Substitute Starfish" was that during the outbreak, human consciousness would be sealed into the tumor, and the body would be controlled by the source of infection, performing instinctive hunting actions.
Now that the body is gone, the source of infection has returned to this container, expelling the human consciousness inside. The consciousness has nowhere to go, so it can be absorbed by the collector?
"absorb!"
[Absorbing, this time successfully supplemented information degree: 0.37]
[Do you want to enable automatic absorption? ]
[Note: After activation, there is no need to touch it. Simply stay near the scattered consciousness for two seconds to absorb it.]
Is there really 0.37?
Cheng Ye was shocked. This was almost as much as the reward he got when he found the prototype of dragon power!
"Open."
【Open successfully! 】
This is really an unexpected gain.
Looking at the lines of prompts that popped up on the panel, Cheng Ye went back to his personal page to confirm again.
The numbers are definitely rising, and the information level has reached 7.47.
According to the remaining gap, if each infection source can provide this value, only .
"Exactly two hundred and fifty infected bodies!"
“It’s not difficult!”
The killing power was suddenly dissipated by the huge harvest provided by the source of infection.
Cheng Ye took a deep breath and slammed his palm hard on the ground. The murderous intent that had been pent up in his chest completely dissipated with this palm.
It’s strange to say, I was a little nervous before doing this, but now I just feel extremely happy in my heart.
If he really let this boss run away with the two young men, he would never be able to sleep well every night from now on.
"Sure enough, I've also started to become a wastelander to some extent."
Cheng Ye stood up, tore open two more bags of nutrient solution and drank them, and at the same time unloaded the iron body to recharge.
I thought it would take several months, or even half a year, to gather enough information for the internship period, but I didn't expect that this substitute starfish would become an unexpected turn of events.
If you can take this opportunity to pass the apprenticeship, not only will you be able to unlock the search permissions for Lv3 skills, but the search conditions for Lv2 skills will also be greatly reduced.
Apart from other things, the difficulty of gathering the four powers will be greatly reduced.
"Before, I was still considering whether to go out and kill a wave, but now that I can accumulate information, it seems that I can no longer hesitate."
Thoughts arise.
Boom.
The floor shook violently, and no one knew where the explosion occurred.
Through the window, you can see thick smoke rising from the direction of the huge wall in the distance, but it is quickly extinguished by the increasingly heavy rain.
"This area that Brother B chose for me may look shabby at first glance, but it actually has hidden secrets. It should be one of the most stable areas in the area."
Cheng Ye stood quietly in front of the window, and saw crowds of people in the several blocks within his sight.
Most of them were running away, with only a few groups of people shooting at each other after encountering each other. It seemed that they had accumulated hatred in their daily lives, and now they took advantage of the wave of infection to unleash it.
The most "lively" place is the flea market two streets away, which is the old pedestrian street next to Tianyuan Shopping Mall.
The pedestrian street is about 700 meters long.
On both sides are old bungalows left over from the past, and many people have illegally added three or four floors on top of them.
In the winding alleys inside, muzzle flashes could be heard in the darkness, and there were at least hundreds of people engaged in a fierce gunfight.
I think it's not just revenge, but also to eliminate the threat of an outbreak of infected bodies in advance.
Boom, boom, boom.
Come again?
Cheng Ye frowned, thinking that he would have to install a sign at the door later.
If you have something to say, just shout. If you keep knocking on the door, the image of those three people will instantly flash through your mind, and you can't help but want to take action.
"Friend, can you give me a defense contact number so we can keep an eye on each other?"
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and shouted outside the door.
After just finishing mopping the floor, the three of them returned to the room to discuss it, and suddenly felt that Cheng Ye was a ruthless man who didn't talk much.
If such a decisive killer could be brought into the fifth-floor watch team, he would undoubtedly be the strongest guarantee of combat power.
"No."
This time, Cheng Ye didn't pretend to be an expert by not replying. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "When the infection wave comes, I will clear the threat from this building and then go outside."
"ah?"
The middle-aged man was startled and quickly took two steps back. "Okay, okay, just pretend I never said anything!"
However.
Two minutes later.
Boom, boom, boom.
When the knock on the door sounded again, the middle-aged man had already prepared his speech and was about to speak.
But no matter how much he planned, he didn't expect the security door to be suddenly opened, and a huge black shadow appeared in front of him.
"ah?"
Subconsciously, he took a few steps back.
If Cheng Ye hadn't pulled him back, he would have fallen through the broken window, causing more damage to the residents on the first floor.
"What's up?"
Being looked down upon by someone from a high position, the middle-aged man's Adam's apple rolled twice. "If you want to go out, can the three of us follow you?"
"Follow me?"
Cheng Ye turned his head and saw several doors not far away cracking open, and several eyes peeked out.
Seeing his gaze sweep over, two middle-aged men pushed the door open with a wry smile.
They are all neighbors who I meet in the bathroom on weekdays.
However, the environment had changed drastically at this moment, and the three of them did not dare to associate the usually weak Cheng Ye with the huge figure wrapped in armor in front of them.
Cheng Ye also somewhat connected the three people with the past, because at this moment, the excitement and excitement on their faces did not seem like they were going to deal with the infected body, but rather like they were running towards a belated dream.
"You three."
Cheng Ye was a little stunned, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"What are you afraid of? If we don't kill all the infected, how are we going to go to work tomorrow?"
The middle-aged man who was still being held by Cheng Ye said anxiously, "My name is Huang Sheng. I used to be a member of our Xingfu City Pioneer Corps. Later, the corps was disbanded, so I joined the Public Works Department."
"Don't worry, I won't hold you back, and I've also prepared protective gear and weapons."
"Where's the stuff?"
Cheng Ye reached out and put the man down, and suddenly realized that his strength was so much greater than that of ordinary people?
Not only strength and skills, but also courage and mentality have been transformed.
Even he himself did not realize that he had become so calm when facing danger.
"I'll get it!"
Huang Sheng's room was separated from his by four single rooms.
He rushed in and in the blink of an eye, he brought out a set of acrylic protective gear.
As for the helmet, it is not a protective helmet like his, but a football helmet, which is sufficient to prevent contact with infected bodies.
"What about you?"
Cheng Ye nodded slightly and looked at the other two.
The two middle-aged men suddenly came to their senses, rushed into the room with joy on their faces, and quickly took out their simple equipment.
"Thirteen years ago, I was tricked into selling crappy medicine for two months. I still regret it now. If I had dared to get angry back then, I would have been promoted to management!"
Another person quickly agreed: "We only have small pistols. If you don't mind, the three of us will help you guard. Afterwards, you can just take care of the contribution points."
this.
Cheng Ye was silent for a moment.
The people in this happy city seem to have some mental problems.
But then he thought of what Old Song said, it is difficult for a group to have a leader, there must be someone following to form combat effectiveness.
If he wasn't there, these three people would have to mentally prepare themselves before even stepping out of the room to clean up the fifth floor, let alone rushing out of the community to fight the infected bodies.
But now with him leading the way, the three of them suddenly became bolder and dared to follow him and charge out.
Seeing that he was silent.
Huang Sheng and the other two suddenly felt a little uneasy, and their excited mood calmed down again.
However, they did not say anything to interrupt Cheng Ye's thoughts, but stood there quietly waiting.
"How did you get through 13 years ago?"
"Me?" Huang Sheng smiled bitterly when Cheng Ye looked at him. "At that time, I was driving a cart with the pioneering corps to help build the Hongye Bay port. I just happened to avoid the nightmare fluke."
"Zhu Xiang."
Another person spoke up, "I was selling medicine. Um, I sold that sleeping pill. The people from the Medical Department tricked me into thinking I could contribute to the buffer zone. I sold it for free for two months, but in the end, I was mistaken for a drug dealer and locked up for a month and a half. I was beaten every day in there."
This was so tragic that Cheng Ye couldn't help but smack his lips in amazement.
"Wu Zhihong," the last remaining man followed up, "I'm from the Rehabilitation faction. I targeted those bastards who were secretly spreading nightmare flukes. It's a shame, they slipped away so quickly, and I didn't kill any of them. It's been a shame for years."
"You don't have any family?"
Cheng Ye asked again, and the three of them shook their heads at the same time, with complicated expressions on their faces, hiding more or less stories.
"Well, if you want to follow me out, you must obey my orders completely."
"No problem, as long as you don't let us die, we'll do whatever you say."
I don’t know why I trust Cheng Ye so much. Maybe it’s because this young man has injected new vitality into the lifeless electronics factory community since he moved in?
Anyway, there was no ruthless person in this tube-shaped building who could blow people’s heads off and throw them out of the window.
Huang Sheng seemed a little excited.
"You create a team. With team supervision, we dare not violate the rules."
"Um."
Cheng Ye took out the badge from his pocket and swiped it across the defense channel. This so-called team module is a bit like the face-to-face group function on WeChat.
After selecting Create, a string of identification codes will pop up on the interface, and others can join the team by entering them.
"Identification code 175107."
The three of them immediately took out their defense passes.
This was their first time doing something like this. Wu Zhihong and Zhu Xiang huddled in front of the screen and clicked several times, but couldn't find the entrance to join. Instead, Huang Sheng quickly entered the code and then quickly instructed the two:
“Hey, right here, click here”
"Yes, add it in. The one with the title of prosecutor is it."
After giving a few words of instruction, Huang Sheng was stunned.
Wu Zhihong and Zhu Xiang were unable to react, but when they entered the identification code and saw the three big words "Prosecutor" clearly visible, they were also stunned.
All three of them froze in place.
He glanced at the defense communication and then at Cheng Ye, his face a little bewildered.
"You, you are the prosecutor?"
"Don't you think so?"
Cheng Ye couldn't help but shook his head, "Nothing, just go back and rest first."
"Sixteen minutes left."
The security door slammed shut, and the bloody smell it carried made the three of them shudder at the same time.
After a few seconds, three pairs of eyes suddenly met, and all expressions were instantly overwhelmed by unbelievable ecstasy:
"Prosecutor, this Cheng Ye, Prosecutor Cheng?"
"It's incredible that there's an inspector living here. He's so young."
"What's wrong with being young? Being young is good!"
Huang Sheng slapped his thigh excitedly and lowered his voice, "Young people only want to make great achievements. None of the people who got promoted in our pioneer corps in the past few years were over 35 years old."
"But isn't the Pioneer Corps' recruitment standard for people under 35?"
"roll!"
The three of them couldn't help but remain calm.
It is true that an inspector lived in this shabby tube-shaped building of the electronics factory more than ten years ago, but I have never heard of anyone coming here to "suffer" since then.
As the highest-ranking person in the buffer zone, the powers that the prosecutor can exercise are unimaginable.
For example.
A drone flew up, and the camera below scanned the three people.
Defense News then reported:
"Inspector Cheng Ye has established a team, and Huang Sheng, Zhu Xiang, and Wu Zhihong have been included in the team."
"Inspector Cheng Ye has activated the contribution assessment mechanism. All personal actions will be recorded by drones, submitted to the supercomputer, and rewards will be distributed according to contribution points!"
This is one of the benefits of joining the prosecutor team.
There is no need to compete for heads. After the meeting, the drone will upload the records to the supercomputer and automatically determine the contribution value.
Any action, such as shooting, cleaning up the battlefield, or providing rear-end support, will be given meaning!
"As an Inspector, I feel like there's still a lot of potential for development."
Looking at the ecstasy on the faces of the three people in the video, Cheng Ye realized the advantages of this mechanism.
Under the influence of special rewards and linkage mechanisms, the efficiency of unity is exaggerated.
There is absolutely no need for any coercive means to unite strangers and form a fighting force.
And because there is no infection, they are naturally in the same camp and there is no competition for interests.
Coupled with drones for harvesting and rule judgment, when a wave of infection comes, inspectors can always assemble a team of hundreds or thousands of people as long as they have the idea.
"What is the purpose of this? Why give prosecutors such great power?"
Cheng Ye frowned and thought, and could only associate it with an idealistic institutional experiment.
But no matter what the original intention was, this power is undoubtedly a timely help to his current situation.
bite.
The alarm clock rang again, and the screen showed 11:40, with only one minute left before the outbreak.
He looked up at the hygrometer on the wall. The pointer was pointing at 99%, and a layer of fine water droplets condensed on the glass surface.
"Is it coming?"
The sound of gunfire had now completely swept the entire buffer zone.
To the wastelanders, this is a death warrant.
But when Cheng Ye heard it, it inexplicably brought back a sense of trance as if he was going back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year and the sound of firecrackers on New Year's Eve.
Suddenly, the numbers on the screen jumped forward again.
Cheng Ye originally thought that apart from the intermittent thunder, there would be no more noisy sounds.
But he was wrong. When 11:41 arrived, a shrill scream suddenly tore through the air, rushed into the sky, and instantly drowned out all the noise.
Great sound and sound.
Cheng Ye felt dizzy and his eardrums were torn by invisible pressure, as if he had been punched hard on the head, and a fishy and sweet taste surged in his throat.
Amid the tinnitus, he vaguely heard low sounds of breaking through the air outside the window, and more than twenty fire meteors with tails flew out from the direction of the inner city.
What is that?
boom!
The fireball hit an open space in the southern suburbs, causing a dazzling ball of light but without generating any shock wave.
Almost at the same time, the screaming stopped abruptly, as if someone had strangled the throat.
[Emergency report, the fusion-stage mother source codenamed 'Substitute Starfish' has been completely annihilated!]
[Humidity has reached the standard, the mother source suppression has failed, and the infected body is about to enter the outbreak period. All residents please prepare! ]
