Along the way, I encountered three waves of teams cleaning up zombies back and forth along the road. According to reports, more than one case of gigantic and aggressive plants has been found.

Because there is no way to guarantee 24-hour road safety, the cleaning team simply piled up the abandoned cars and dead bodies on the road on both sides of the road, forming a wall that is not too high.

After the heavy rain, the temperature dropped a bit, but the high temperature was still over 20 degrees. Most of the corpses began to rot and mutate at such a temperature. The sewage flowed across, and various bugs and small scavengers appeared. The whole road was shocking.

When it was getting dark, I finally arrived at Jincheng. This city with a population of nearly [-] million is now full of desolation, and it is as silent as a dead city in the night.

Relying on scientific research institutions and university towns, the government has enclosed an area that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. At present, this area has been enclosed by a high separation wall, and buildings within hundreds of meters outside the separation wall have been blasted flat by directed blasting.

Every ten meters on the high wall of the safe zone, there is a tall tower standing with live ammunition soldiers, shooting at the zombies that come over from time to time. Every clear gunshot accompanied by the zombies fell to death, and at the same time attracted a steady stream of zombies.

The convoys lined up at the entrance of the city and waited to enter. Everyone was required to go to a room for a full-body scan. Those who were not injured were disinfected to be admitted.

The people in Meng Shaoqing's car quickly completed the inspection, and Qi Shaolei's fracture was even given X-ray examination and re-dressing treatment.

There are enough houses in the circled safety zone. Huaxia has always had abundant food reserves, and the government will store enough food for several years in normal years.

Now the population has dropped by more than 90.00%. If the remaining grain depots are well maintained and can be used for a long time, the only problem is how to maintain and retrieve those grain depots.

Every household has more or less food in storage, the owner becomes a zombie, and everything can be taken at will. The government doesn't care about distributing food, and those who participate in the construction of the safe zone fence can get rations, and those who go out to participate in the search for supplies can carry their own back Take away everything that moves.

No one even came to check the cars of Meng Shaoqing and others. When they left the place where the physical examination took place, the person in charge of receiving them issued a number plate and keys to the house.

Because of the large population of the team, they obtained a complete set of three bedrooms and one living room, which is two streets away from the central area and quite close to the wall. After packing up, Meng Shaoqing took Wei Xu, Qi Shaolei, and Lixue to the place Wang Ning said to report.

The domed building was brightly lit, and there was a long queue outside. The wall was painted with a few ink-colored regular script characters, Ability Training Center.

Seeing the white coat going in and out inside, Meng Shaoqing clenched his fists. In his previous life, as a supernatural being, he was treated quite well in the early days. These researchers tried various methods of controlling training to enhance their supernatural abilities to help supernatural beings train and research.

When it was gradually discovered in the later stage that the supernatural beings could not find the antibodies that could restore the zombies, and they could not find a way to stimulate the supernatural powers of ordinary people, objective research gradually gave rise to panic.

Some people are so powerful, how can the rest survive?

Of course, they are not unfounded worries. There are also quite a few supernatural beings who think that they are the darlings of God and should be kneeled and served by others. Therefore, it is really a joke to find out why they died in the last life.

Countless ordinary people and supernatural beings became cannon fodder, and in the end only the so-called elites whose two spaceships rushed out of the earth remained.

At the moment of stupefaction, Meng Shaoqing was lightly patted on the shoulder, and Meng Shaoqing turned around suddenly. A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed retro glasses smiled like a spring breeze, "I am Yin Lu from the Ability Research Center, and the team in front is still very busy." Long, are you interested in chatting with me first?"

Some familiar names, Meng Shaoqing frowned, not sure where he had heard of this person, he did not attract special attention when he was in Jincheng's supernatural training center in his previous life, and he quietly recuperated in this book for two years. After a month, he followed a team back to the capital and started on the road again. Most of the things here were very strange to him.

"I'm also in charge of ability classification and statistics." Yin Lu nodded his badge on his chest, "The colleagues you will meet in the queue later are no different from my job responsibilities."

There is nothing to show courtesy, Meng Shaoqing raised his chin and motioned to other supernatural beings who looked around, "Everyone is queuing up, it's not good for us to do it in advance, right?"

Yin Lu didn't know why he persevered, "I'm off work, I can help you with a report, and I'll just jump in the queue for my colleagues and put them in the file later."

Meng Shaoqing frowned, Yue Junze was more straightforward than him, "Oh, there are so many supernatural beings here, why did you choose us?"

"I have read the records you sent." Yin Lu took out a notebook from his pocket, with a sincere smile and a straightforward and enthusiastic tone, "I am very interested in the most destructive ability among you."

With the arc of the corner of the mouth, Meng Shaoqing remembered who this person was in the light of the calcium carbide. Five years later, the leader of a research group at the Institute of Supernatural Powers of the Capital No. [-] Base, and the backbone of the support for human experiments.

It really is a gift again, Meng Shaoqing put on a smile as sincere as Yin Lu, "We also have many doubts about our abilities, and the theory of supernatural powers we have learned before is very vague. If you happen to be free, give us a Take the opportunity to learn and learn."

A few people bypassed the long registration and testing team, and followed Yin Lu directly into the research institute building. Meng Shaoqing was not familiar with this place, and he hadn't reached the point where he could obtain independent training abilities when he was in Jincheng in his previous life.

Most of the staff in the building did not get off work, and there were some lights in each laboratory. Yin Lu led a few people to the end of the corridor, where he had his own exclusive laboratory.

As soon as the door was opened, the cold air that could almost frost the eyebrows hit the face. Yin Lu seemed to suddenly remember something, "There was a supernatural person with the ability to freeze that I just checked."

Out of the corner of Meng Shaoqing's eyes, he saw Lixue and Wei Xu shrugging their noses. The strong stench in the cold air was a bit unusual. He raised his hand to gently cover his nose, "Is there a zombie in the laboratory?"

"Don't worry, it's locked and there's no danger." Yin Lu walked in first.

Meng Shaoqing looked at his back at this time, maybe he didn't have the idea of ​​​​eliminating dissidents at this time, but such a strong corpse smell, I don't know how many zombies were imprisoned in it, it can be seen that he was a very extreme person in the early days.

Despite mental preparations, everyone was stunned by the scene inside.

In the huge laboratory of nearly [-] square meters, the walls are filled with transparent glass cabinets, which contain the whole body or remains of zombies of all ages.

The most frightening thing is that at least half of them are in an active state at a rough glance. It may be affected by the ability of the previous supernatural being. A corner on the west side of the room is covered with thick ice. It can be seen that there are two people frozen inside. A complete human body in the size of a child, the ice cubes melt slowly at such temperatures, and the dirty water flows out of the room through the groove on the side of the laboratory.

Each glass cabinet is marked with a number, temperature, humidity and time. Yin Lu stood in the middle of these cabinets and turned around. Seeing Meng Shaoqing and the others looked surprised, he explained proudly, "Here, I am testing the effect of the external environment on zombies. We have previously found that different people have different speeds and intensities of changes after being scratched by zombies. At present, the instruments and samples are not sufficient, and the information we can obtain is too little. We are starting to investigate from basic environmental factors. Our laboratory It can be regarded as the fastest progress in this aspect in the whole of China."

"I don't see what Mr. Yin's research direction has anything to do with us." Meng Shaoqing stood with her chest crossed, and kept looking around at the cabinets containing zombies. No matter how she looked at it, she felt a little inconsistent.

Before Yin Lu could answer, Yue Junze rushed to ask another question, "Where did Mr. Yin get these zombie specimens?"

"There are too many wounded outside, and it's easy to get," Yin Lu replied vaguely, then turned to look at Meng Shaoqing with a smile on his face, "I heard that there is a gentleman among you who has the ability to make the temperature of objects extremely high, and there is not enough energy now. , There is not enough cooling and heating equipment, and this piece of ice was also made for me by a supernatural person, and I called you here to help control the temperature."

Wei Xu turned his head and glanced at his partner, Meng Shaoqing frowned and gently covered his nose with one hand, Yue Junze pinched the nose directly, the room was silent for a while, only the sound of zombies beating the glass cabinet, "You didn't do it either!" Roast duck, my ability seems not suitable for controlling the temperature."

Yin Lu's smile widened a bit, and the corpses locked in glass cabinets in different poses were printed on the wall behind him, which looked very strange, "I just want to know what effect your ability will have on zombies."

A cabinet behind him rattled softly.

Yin Lu turned his head, checked the cabinet carefully, and adjusted the instrument panel next to it. A dense layer of water droplets quickly condensed in the cabinet, "We are also studying how to speed up the decomposition and decay of these corpses."

"Do you mean to let me be the cremator?" Wei Xu was speechless, "In fact, I can't control my ability at all, so far every time it appears is very random."

"After all, we are not professional researchers. Let's demonstrate it to Mr. Yin." Meng Shaoqing stepped forward and pressed Wei Xu's shoulder.

Wei Xu sighed, "Okay then, the temperature in this room is so low, should we change it?"

Yin Lu hesitated for a while, and pointed to a glass cabinet in the corner of the room opposite to the huge ice cube, "You just try facing here?"

It was a cabinet containing an adult male zombie, and it was actually difficult to tell whether it was completely dead or still alive as a zombie.The zombies in the other cabinets were more or less caused by the struggle, scratching and screaming of the living people in the center of the room. This one was tied up quietly, and even looked neat and clean.

If it weren't for the obvious corpse spots on the back of the hands and cheeks, it would look no different from a living person. Its head hangs slightly, and its face cannot be seen clearly. At least there are no obvious scars on its head by visual inspection.

Several people felt that it was abnormal, but no one showed anything. Wei Xu faced the cabinet in silence for a while, and put his palms together and pushed it out.

Yin Lu eagerly waited for the change with a notebook in one hand, but everything was quiet and nothing happened. He stared at Wei Xu's movements, "Have you done anything?"

Wei Xu was even more inexplicable than him, clasped his hands again and launched, "It seems to be malfunctioning again, probably because I have entered the safe zone and now my mood is relatively stable."

Meng Shaoqing looked at Yin Lu who was stunned, "He seems to be able to explode his ability only when he is emotional and angry. We originally planned to ask the researchers to help confirm, how can we stabilize his ability? Can you please help me Anyone involved?"

"You go to the lobby and ask, my colleagues will provide help according to your needs." Yin Lu lowered his shoulders in frustration. He is far less in control now than a few years later, and those who pay a little attention can find his paranoia .

Meng Shaoqing and the others stepped out of his laboratory with heavy footsteps. When they got out, they couldn't help but ran out of the research institute building and took a deep breath together.

Lixue rubbed her arms over and over again, "I have goosebumps all over my body. That Yin Lu just now was mentally ill, right? The whole room is like a scene from a horror movie."

"His experiment is not as simple as he himself described." Yue Junze waved his hand and pointed at several places, "Have you noticed that the wounded parts of the zombies in his room are very strange."

"That's not the trace that would be naturally produced during the process of fighting zombies, it's too regular," Meng Shaoqing stood up straight, or could do something different from his previous life, now that everyone doesn't know the future, it's a joke for himself It's easy to use a little trick, "According to his own vague introduction, he captured the infected zombies for experiments, but the traces on the zombies lined up on several walls may be closer to capturing living people for experiments." the truth."

"Those zombies have knife wounds, and some small wounds are distributed at the same height and at the same angle." Meng Shaoqing gestured at a height, "The zombies don't have any habitual movements. He is right to study under what circumstances the mutation can be controlled. But will anyone cooperate with him to capture those newly injured people for research?"

"Anyone who is injured will be killed directly." Wei Xu made a shooting motion, "I talked with Wang Ning's soldiers."

"The situation is very clear," Meng Shaoqing led the way to the residence, "I won't register today, maybe we can come to do something good tonight."
