Doom Smuggler

We have been working hard to optimize the arrangements for newcomers, hoping to make them feel as comfortable as going home.In this way, newcomers can eliminate unfamiliar emotions faster, and integrate into the big family of Shuguang Base as quickly as possible. "

Shen Bing looked at Chen Yang stupidly, and followed Chen Yang and Ke Jie out of the lounge as if a little unconscious.

On the way to the accommodation area, Shen Bing finally came back to his senses, summoned up his courage and said to Chen Yang, "He called you the leader? Are you the leader of Shuguang Base? This Shuguang Base...was really established by you? "

"That's right, didn't I admit it to you just now? Don't worry, my purpose of setting up this Shuguang base is definitely not to pick up girls."

Chen Yang nodded with a smile.

Shen Bing blushed suddenly, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I... I thought you were teasing me... So I didn't pay much attention to what you said... Don't take it to heart..."

"What is there to take to heart, so now, are you willing to believe what I said?"

Chen Yang said.

"I... I don't know... If what you said is true, then why after passing the test, there is no big difference between those test personnel and the people in other settlements? Of course, the hardware conditions of the Shuguang base, for sure It is much stronger than ordinary settlements. From a hardware point of view, the Shuguang Base has done a perfect job."

Shen Bing bit his lip and said.

"Because I didn't expect that they would corrupt and degenerate so quickly. This was my oversight. It was not too late to discover it, and it was too late to make up for it. With this lesson, I will strengthen the internal atmosphere of the base in the future." , this point, you can always pay attention to it in the days to come."

Chen Yang said, looked at Ke Jie again, and continued to speak: "Ajie, I asked you just now, the number of newcomers in the base seems to be a bit small, not as large as before, and you haven't told me why Well. Is it because the number of survivors who came to join the base recently has decreased?"

"Uh... Chief, there are overwhelming numbers of survivors who want to join our Dawn base and become full members every day. The test site in the outer city can almost be said to be our busiest place. Compared with before, during the recent period, The number of survivors participating in the test every day has not decreased. On the contrary, as the reputation of our Dawn Base spreads farther and farther, the number of survivors participating in the test every day has shown a clear upward trend."

Ke Jie scratched his head and said.

"Huh? The number of survivors participating in the test is increasing? Then why is the base for training newcomers not full?"

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows.

Ke Jie suddenly showed hesitation, and the whole person seemed very hesitant.

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. The Shuguang Base is not owned by me alone, it was built with everyone's joint efforts, so everyone should have a sense of ownership. No matter what kind of problems occur in the Shuguang Base, after anyone discovers, Everyone should find a way to solve it.”

Chen Yang said.

"Yes, leader! Actually, the reason is very simple. Now all survivors who pass the test and are eligible to join the base will be asked for a high bribe by the testers. This bribe has become a roadblock for most survivors, although In the shantytowns outside the city, there are people who lend money specifically for this problem, but there are only a very small number of survivors who really dare to take out loans to solve the bribery problem.”

While talking, Ke Jie carefully looked at Chen Yang's face.

Without seeing anything on the face of his own leader, Ke Jie could only continue to say: "After all, the situation at our Shuguang base is just a rumor for the vast majority of survivors who came for the test. What is the specific situation? It was not as exaggerated as the rumors said, and those survivors had no idea.

The main reason is that the treatment at our base is so generous that most of the survivors find it hard to believe it. Instead, they think that there are many exaggerations in it.Therefore, under the influence of inherent cognition, they dare not solve the problem through loans, and cannot provide the necessary bribes, resulting in a considerable number of survivors, even if they pass the test, they have no choice but to leave..."

Chen Yang's face immediately darkened.

He considered that the existence of bribe money would make some qualified survivors choose to leave.

But according to Ke Jie, the qualified survivors who choose to leave seem to belong to the majority?

This is really infuriating.

Even if the talents in the wasteland world are worthless, if they are wasted for no reason, it is still wasteful.

"How long has this situation lasted? Can you estimate how many qualified new members we have lost during this period of time because of this situation?"

Chen Yang asked in a deep voice.

"Uh... If you go back to the leader, it has been going on for more than a month. As for how many qualified new members have been lost... If you compare it with the normal number before, it is estimated to be three or four thousand?"

Ke Jie said with some uncertainty.

Chen Yang couldn't help but took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily: "I see."

560.5 Chapter Sixty Rare Customers

Chen Yang was quite satisfied with the tour of the dormitory.

At least in terms of the basic construction of the base, there are not many signs of stealing and cheating.

Of course, it’s also possible that it’s not yet the time to steal, rape and play tricks. Once the personnel composition of the Shuguang base is completely stabilized, after time has passed, maybe even the tofu project may also appear in the base...

The establishment of a supervisory department is indeed imminent...

He didn't stay at the training base for too long, since Shen Bing already knew who he was, there was little point in continuing to chat with Shen Bing.

Anyway, through Shen Bing's mouth, Chen Yang has roughly figured out what the new members who joined the base have an instinctive view of the entire Shuguang base.

Therefore, Chen Yang, who had achieved his goal, simply comforted Shen Bing a few more words, told Shen Bing to rest assured that he would carry out the training, and he would settle the usury matter before returning to the inner city.

From Shen Bing's point of view, the newcomers did not have a very positive impression of the Shuguang Base before they joined the Shuguang Base, and when they just joined the Shuguang Base.

This negative impression has little to do with the Shuguang Base itself. It is purely due to the instability of the settlements after the cataclysm. As a result, the survivors have basically experienced the survival of many different settlements. Always have a strong suspicion of settlements of all kinds.

The survivors who have been living in a settlement until now only account for a very small number of the total number of survivors.

The extreme danger of the external environment and the extreme difficulty in survival of the internal survivors make the anti-risk ability of settlements quite average.

Unless it is a large or above-scale survivor force, it is possible to maintain a difficult and stable state in such a harsh environment.

As for those small and medium-sized settlements, on this piece of wasteland, they are like a flat boat in a storm, and they may capsize at any time.

Such survival experiences occur frequently, which makes the survivors instinctively distrust the settlements.

Even if the dawn base showed strong vitality, the survivors would not believe it until they truly integrated into it.

Looking left and right, there was still plenty of time, so Chen Yang came directly to He Jianian's laboratory.

Although he is the person in charge of the R&D and logistics department in name, he is one of the five giants in the Shuguang base.

But in fact, He Jianian is basically just a name, and the actual management of the R&D and logistics department is gradually being handed over to Cao Fang.

As for He Jianian himself, he basically spends all his time in the laboratory, and for his own goals, he dare not slack off at all.

When Chen Yang came to the laboratory, He Jianian was standing alone in front of the operating table, dissecting a leopard-shaped mutant with wings on its back.

Cao Fang is not in the laboratory, and the R&D and logistics departments are equally busy. Cao Fang, who needs to carry out actual management, is now busy all day without touching the ground.

Coupled with the continuous extraction and analysis of the blood of Cao Fang and Cheng Xue, He Jianian already knew the physical condition of the naturally awakened people very well.

In fact, Cao Fang and Cheng Xue's help was not really needed in the laboratory, so He Jianian gradually resumed his state of conducting various experiments alone.

"En? Why are you free to come to my place today? A rare visitor."

He Jianian heard the opening of the door, looked back, and said.

However, the movements of his hands did not stop at all, and he was still dissecting the alien species on the operating table.

"Let's see if there is any new progress in your experiment, let you say this, as if I never cared about your laboratory."

While talking, Chen Yang walked to He Jianian's side.

The scene on the operating table was bloody, but Chen Yang, who was used to killing, didn't feel uncomfortable about it.

"I really don't see any concern. Under normal circumstances, isn't your first choice when you return to the base to go to Li Lu? From ancient times to the present, there are countless stories about heroes sad and beautiful women. It's nothing. Abnormal."

He Jianian said.

"Ahem, Xiaolu... um... I have other things to do. Recently, there have been some situations that I don't like to see in the base, so I asked Xiaolu to investigate. You should be able to do it before dinner." There are results."

Chen Yang simply explained.

The movements of He Jianian's hands paused, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face. He nodded and said, "I see, then it's no wonder you have time to come to my place."

This tone, combined with He Jianian's expression, made Chen Yang couldn't help but blush.

"Ahem, how are you doing recently? Is there any new discovery or progress in the research?"

After coughing twice, Chen Yang asked in embarrassment.

"It depends on how you define new discoveries or new developments. If it's just some useless results, such as the injection of medicine, the injectee can experience the same pleasure as an orgasm, but at the same time it won't If it's really an orgasm, it does.

I found a strange mutated spinal fluid in the pituitary gland of the zombie, which can achieve this effect.But if you are referring to the pursuit of eternal life, if there are any new discoveries, I can only regretfully say sorry to you, it is really...the road is long and difficult..."

He Jianian said very melancholy.

"Uh...has there been any progress in contact with Morgan? Or...have you tried to contact Morgan recently?"

Chen Yang changed the topic and asked.

"Yes, but it didn't work. Morgan's whereabouts are erratic. Although there is a general area of ​​activity, it is not easy to meet Morgan while actively looking for it. So the contact person sent out Team, there is no result yet.

In this matter, you have to be patient. We don't know much about Morgan. Even if we can get in touch with it normally, it will inevitably be a relatively long process.Compared with Morgan, what should really be concerned about is actually the alien species and zombies in the ruins of Hangcheng. "

He Jianian said, using the scalpel in his hand, cut off a piece of visceral organ tissue from the corpse of the alien species in front of him, and handed it to Chen Yang.

He continued: "I have already completed a comprehensive dissection of this xenomorph. This piece was cut from its stomach wall. What can you see from it?"

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, frowned and stared at the piece of meat inserted into He Jianian's scalpel, and after looking carefully, he said uncertainly, "It seems... has skin?"

"It's not the skin, it's the cuticle!"

He Jianian said.

Chapter 561.561 The results are limited

"The horny layer? Er... With all due respect, isn't that still skin?"

Chen Yang scratched his head and said.

He Jianian glanced at Chen Yang with a look like looking at a fool.

After placing the scalpel on the operating table, he said, "The skin, or the skin, is a type of organ. The stratum corneum is composed of dead nucleated keratinocytes. The stratum corneum is not an organ. Strictly speaking, It is like a layer of biological armor on the surface of the human skin. It protects the subcutaneous tissue from infection, dehydration and resistance to chemical and external stress.

This kind of cuticle is also found on zombies and aliens, and it is stronger and harder than the cuticle of the human body.Because the cell division speed of zombies and alien species far exceeds that of normal humans, a large number of dead cells can easily accumulate a strong cuticle to protect the whole body.

but!Under normal circumstances, the cuticle will only appear outside the body!In other words, all the cuticles I have seen are produced outside the body.But now, there is a cuticle in the body of this alien species.And all the organs in its body are covered by a thick cuticle!Do you know what that means? "

"What does it mean?"

"It means that the defense ability of this alien species has been substantially improved. A large number of cuticles cover the surface of the organs in its body, which is enough to make this alien species almost immune to any concussion damage. What is not clear now is that this Is the change unique to this variant, or are all variants producing similar changes."

He Jianian said with quite a headache.

"Um... Didn't you say before that the heterogeneous species is undergoing a group transformation? Different heterogeneous species will undergo a single special evolution according to their different positions in the group. So... Could this heterogeneous species also be due to this Why did it lead to changes in the body? For example, the position of this alien species in the group is to specialize in fighting?"

Chen Yang guessed.

"There is such a possibility, but the specific situation can only be known through a lot of actual dissection. And...even if, as you said, it is because this alien species specializes in fighting that the body has undergone similar mutations, then How many different species will be dedicated to fighting?

Judging from the actual combat effectiveness, this alien species is already equivalent to the level of a five-level enhanced human.And because they have a certain flying ability, the destructive power and trouble they can produce are actually no less than that of a sixth-level enhanced human.

Once such alien species appear in batches, it will inevitably pose a huge threat to our base.Therefore, in addition to improving their reinforcement levels as much as possible, the members of the base must also achieve results in the pursuit of weapons of mass destruction.

No one can tell when the zombies and alien species in the ruins of Hangcheng will rush out. We must prepare for the worst in advance.As the alien species becomes stronger and stronger, the base's defense standards must be improved accordingly, otherwise... it won't be right. "

He Jianian said in a worried tone.

Chen Yang nodded slowly, and said, "Is there any news about the purchase of powerful weapons through Fortress Dawn?"

"Unfortunately, no. Dawn Fortress is relatively closed. Compared with other forces, Dawn Fortress is more like an organization that closes its doors to live its own life. It does not provoke others and does not want to be provoked by others. Therefore, I want to cooperate with Dawn Fortress Getting in touch also requires a process.”

He Jianian spread his hands.

"Tsk, that means that during this period of time, you can actually be regarded as having no results?"

Chen Yang rolled his eyes and said.

"That's right, scientific research is like this. There may not be any results in a few years or more than ten years. Even if you are unlucky, you may not be able to reach the so-called height in your life. If it was before the catastrophe, I am [-]% sure that I have not Ability to study the question of immortality.

However, after the cataclysm, as the strengthened people and evolved people continue to become stronger, the lifespan limit of human beings is becoming more and more exaggerated.Because I have much more time than before, I have strong confidence to study eternal life, and I will unswervingly follow the direction I think is right. "

He Jianian nodded as a matter of course.

"Okay, okay, then you continue to work, I'll go to Uncle Wei to have a look."

Chen Yang waved his hand, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by He Jianian.

"Wait a minute, I will give you two new medicines, which are extensions produced when I was studying the spinal fluid of zombies."

While talking, He Jianian turned around and took out two test tubes from the test tube box next to him, and handed them to Chen Yang.

"Huh? An extension? Does it work?"

Chen Yang took the test tube, looked at one tube of emerald green and one tube of blood red medicine inside, and asked curiously.

"It doesn't have any special effect. The green one is an anesthetic. It doesn't need to be injected and can be spread through the air. Such a tube of medicine can probably affect a radius of about three kilometers.

People who inhale the anesthetic will enter a state of temporary weakness. Although the consciousness can still remain awake, the body will not listen to it.However, the duration is very short. People who inhale the anesthetic are anesthetized for about 5 minutes at most. "
