On how to avoid being cannon fodder

two months later.

Huo Kun, the leader of the base, opened the door angrily and broke in. He slammed the table and shouted, "What are you biologists doing? It's been two months! Why is there still no results?"

In a laboratory full of advanced instruments, dozens of busy researchers stopped at the same time and looked at him.Some people could not bear to lower their heads as soon as they met Huo Kun's red eyes, and some showed an unhappy expression of being disturbed.Han Yanghao also stopped observing the petri dish, straightened up and pushed his black-rimmed glasses, and looked at him calmly, "Boss, it's impossible to research vaccines so quickly."

The veins on Huo Kun's forehead were throbbing, and he gritted his teeth: "But didn't you say that those viruses are similar to the life evolution fluid you developed? You already have such a good foundation, why is the progress still so slow!"

Han Yanghao withdrew his gaze from him and looked at the microscope again, and said in a calm voice: "It's just similar. According to data analysis, it can be estimated that more than [-]% of the people in the world have completely lost their minds and become only attacking." Monsters with survival instincts—I remember you called them "zombies". It's amazing that almost all of the people who turned into zombies were originally grumpy and impulsive people. The remaining [-]%, about [-]% One out of ten people has supernatural powers, and the physique of other people has generally increased by more than two times in two months. Although my life evolution fluid has less than one thousandth chance of giving people supernatural powers , the increase in physical fitness will also be smaller, but it will definitely not affect human beings and spirits. We must study clearly what changes have occurred, otherwise if the virus causes a secondary mutation, what will happen to the world will be I no longer know."

Huo Kun closed his eyes and clenched his fists: "But our food can't last long."

Han Yanghao's movements paused, he didn't look at him, his voice was still so calm: "Relax, those who went to other cities to collect supplies will be back in two days."

Huo Kun thumped the table hard: "Everyone eats a lot more now. We already have [-] people. Even if they bring food back, they won't be able to last for a few months!"

Han Yanghao laughed softly, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, leader. Everything has its own order." He cut off the power of the microscope, took off the petri dish and put it in the freezer.He took off his gloves, put the ash cover back on, and said softly to Huo Kun: "Shall I go with you to meet those teams?"

Huo Kun waved his hand: "Forget it, you continue to study. I can go alone."

Han Yanghao smiled and said, "No, I'm cultivating virus cell antibodies, and it will take some time. It won't hurt to leave for a while." He turned to his assistant and said, "Xiaohe, take care of this place."

The assistant agreed: "Yes, Dr. Han."

……

Outside the base in Lanquan City, the convoy was carrying a full load of food and supplies to the gate of the base.On the leading truck, the captain gave about one-tenth of the energy crystal nuclei obtained from killing zombies along the way to Ji Wenyuan.

"Mu Wei, you are indeed very talented in combat, and you have helped us a lot along the way, but now that we have arrived at the base, we will soon be separated. Food is a mission item, and we cannot distribute it to you. Just keep the results.” Two months of getting along has brought the team members closer to the two college students, and no one can hate these two young people who have a good temper and dare to face danger.

Ji Wenyuan reached out and took the bag containing the energy crystal nucleus. There were probably hundreds of translucent crystals of different colors, shapes and sizes, all of which were dug out from the heart of the "zombie".At the beginning, everyone didn't find these energy crystals in the zombie's heart. It wasn't until a week after the two joined the team that Pei Xiu "accidentally" discovered this good thing that can reduce the food demand of the supernatural beings.

These energy crystals can only be found in the hearts of monsters with supernatural powers. The energy properties and total amount of energy contained in the crystals owned by each individual are different. For example, Ji Wenyuan can only absorb blue water crystals and light blue ice crystals. Use crystals to strengthen yourself.On the day when these energy crystals were discovered, the captain reported to the leader of the base in Lanquan City.It is said that the team sent by the Lanquan City base now has another important task besides searching for supplies, which is to hunt and kill a large number of zombies to obtain energy crystals.

Pei Xiu leaned over and took a look in the bag, exclaiming, "So many! Captain, you are such a good person."

The captain shook his head: "I will introduce you to the leader, and the rest is up to you."

By the time we spoke, the base in Lanquan City had already arrived.

As soon as the captain got out of the car and wanted to register with the guard on duty at the gate, he saw Huo Kun striding over with a refined young man in a white coat, and quickly saluted: "Chief, Ling Yun, the captain of the third brigade and the fourth squad You report!"

Huo Kun glanced at the convoy full of food, smiled on his face, and praised: "Good! You are the first team to arrive. Hurry up and report to the army."

The captain hurriedly signaled Ji Wenyuan and Pei Xiu to come forward: "Boss, these are the two Haida college students we met in Guifeng City, and they are very good seedlings of supernatural beings."

Only then did Huo Kun turn his attention back to the materials and put it on Ji Wenyuan and the two: "A person with supernatural powers?"

It was the first time that Pei Xiu talked to such a big official. When he saw Huo Kun's eyes on him, he was shocked and stood up straight: "Yes, sir! My name is Pei Xiu, and I am a wood-type superhuman. Help produce food."

Huo Kun's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help nodding: "Okay, come with me later, I'll take you to test your ability level."

Pei Xiu was puzzled: "Ability level?"

At this time, the elegant young man who had been standing behind Huo Kun and kept quiet smiled and explained: "This is the unified evaluation method for the strength of abilities proposed by our base. The lowest level is one, and the highest level is ten. However, there has not been any one above level three. People with supernatural powers can usually do things that ordinary people can't do at the second level, and people with supernatural abilities at the second level and above are also our focus on cultivation."

It was only then that Huo Kun remembered that Han Yanghao was behind him, and introduced to everyone: "This is Dr. Han Yanghao, the current person in charge of the research on the zombie virus vaccine, and the youngest academician in Chen Kingdom's history."

Han Yanghao smiled at Ji Wenyuan and Pei Xiu, and Pei Xiu immediately bowed flattered and said, "Hi, Dr. Han, I've known you for a long time!" He didn't study biology, so he didn't know Han Yanghao at first, but he was forced into the world by the will of the world. In his memory, Han Yanghao was one of the most important characters in the Lanquan base.

Han Yanghao showed no airs, and responded gently: "Hi, nice to meet you."

Huo Kun shifted his gaze to Ji Wenyuan and asked, "What about you, this...boy, what abilities do you have?" The leader is indeed the leader, even if he saw Mu Wei's gloomy temperament, he was only stunned for a second It became nothing out of the ordinary.

Ji Wenyuan smiled and said: "Hello, you can call me Mu Wei. I am an ice-type supernatural being."

Ice-type abilities don't have any particularly huge strategic value, Huo Kun is not very concerned.But Han Yanghao who was next to him suddenly said, "Follow me to the research department, it happens to be able to help some places that need to cool down quickly."

Ji Wenyuan had been secretly observing Han Yanghao since he heard his name.The first impression of Han Yanghao is that he is gentle and refined, even with a pair of black-rimmed glasses that can make people ugly two levels, he still looks handsome.Even Ji Wenyuan's eyesight couldn't see that this guy was capable of making the end of the world come.Hearing what Han Yanghao said at this time, he immediately became vigilant.However, his concealment ability is also quite good, so that no one can see his thoughts: "Okay, it would be great to help you. I also hope that the vaccine will be born as soon as possible, so that the world can return to the way it was before."

Hearing what he said, Han Yanghao tilted his head slightly, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ji Wenyuan intuitively felt that his smile was laced with sarcasm, but the side of his head just let the sun shine on the lenses of the black-rimmed glasses, and the reflected glare blocked his eyes, making it impossible for Ji Wenyuan to confirm. Are your intuitions wrong?

"Boss, I'm leaving first." Han Yanghao turned around and walked in the direction he came from.

Pei Xiu obviously didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, he opened his mouth in surprise and didn't know what to say.

Ji Wenyuan smiled at him, waved his hand and said goodbye: "Goodbye, call me if you need anything."

Pei Xiu stared blankly at Ji Wenyuan following Han Yanghao away, and after a while he came back to his senses, and asked in a daze, "Senior Mu Wei left just like that?"

After Huo Kun and the captain learned about the mission situation, they turned around and saw Pei Xiu like this, so they comforted him: "It's okay, young man. We are all in the same base, so you can go to him if you want to see him. What's more, our Lanquan City base signal Very good, if you want to make a video call, there is no problem."

……

On the other side, Han Yanghao had already brought Ji Wenyuan to a single dormitory next to the research institute.

"You will live here from now on, is there any problem?" Han Yanghao signaled Ji Wenyuan to go in.

Ji Wenyuan entered the room and looked around.This is a dormitory close to [-] square meters. It looks like it has been unoccupied for a long time, and it is covered with a layer of dust.He squatted down and touched the accumulated dust on the floor, and said with a good-natured smile, "No problem, but it looks like it needs to be cleaned up."

Han Yanghao turned and left with no emotion in his voice: "That's it. I'll give you a day to rest and tidy up. If any relatives in Lanquan City will visit within this day. Our project is urgent, I won't let you take a vacation of."

Ji Wenyuan watched him walk away helplessly, and closed the door after watching him off for a while.

Han Yanghao is very dangerous, but according to his guess, it is very likely that he will be the key person who destroys the plot.

Ji Wenyuan didn't want to try or give up this road because of Han Yanghao's danger.

However, what is the purpose of Han Yanghao letting him, a research rookie of unknown origin, enter the research institute to assist in research?

In other words, does he really want to help the Lanquan City base develop a vaccine that will restore the "zombies" to normal?
