Chapter 58 The End Times

Speaking of which, Gu Qing is now at the Survivor Base in the capital, which was originally the political, economic and cultural center of the country. Before the end of the world, the countries that knew about this in advance still set the core base in the capital in order not to cause greater panic. .

After all, the capital is very densely populated. If the zombie virus breaks out, the zombie population will also have a base, unlike the western region where the population density is relatively small. Once the zombie virus breaks out, the survival rate of the western region is relatively high.

However, if there is a big movement in the country at that time, it is likely to lead to worse results. Just a "panic" can make everyone mess up first.

Just having said that, after the outbreak of the end of the world, people with discerning eyes can also see that the country has prepared in advance.Because the survivor base in the capital does not look like it was built temporarily.

The Capital Survivor Base covers a very large area, and the other areas currently radiated are not small.Not only the capital of the People's Liberation Army and other surrounding cities are conducting search and rescue, but survivors from other places are also pouring towards the capital in a steady stream.

Where Gu Qing is located is the core of the base.

They do research in this part, although most of the time is in the underground part, but the above-ground part is still allocated a residence.

In addition, those who are alone like Gu Qing are really a minority. Most of the researchers are with their families. They contribute to the country, and the country guarantees the safety and life of their families.

But being alone, Gu Qing still has a house.

It's just that so far, Gu Qing has rarely been there.

In the laboratory, there are all the items that can meet his basic survival needs, and even the cleaning work is also handled by assistants.In addition, Gu Qing's authority is not low, he can use a lot of equipment first, and sometimes he can exchange ideas with various experts, so there is no need to bask in the sun.

Furthermore, Gu Qing's own physical needs are also extremely low, but his energy is so strong that it makes people speechless.

Even though Han Yiyun's arrival this time ignited everyone's passion for research, it's time to rest and recharge your batteries.

Gu Qing's assistants have already gone back, and most of the equipment has stopped working. There is only one computer in front of him, the screen is still on, and soon the screen is dark because of no operation.

On this floor, only the footsteps left by the guards who were in charge of night patrols passed by.

The monitoring system is turned on 24 hours a day, and when the electronic eye turns, it will make a very subtle sound.

Of course, because this is the core base, it's not just the usual monitors, but also various sensors, such as heat sensors, gravity sensors, motion sensors, and so on.It is believed that with the discovery of various abilities, there will be sensors specifically for those with abilities in the future.

This night, it seems to be very peaceful.

Suddenly, there is a flash of gold.

Those two touches of gold seemed to be in no man's land, without touching any sensors, they sneaked into Gu Qing's personal laboratory in a very treacherous way.

Gu Qing leaned on the back of the chair, taking long breaths.

Those two touches of gold stopped not far away, and they didn't know what to do.

After a while, the two touches of gold moved again, and gradually leaned towards Gu Qing, but in the end they didn't reach Gu Qing's feet, but were just a few centimeters away from his feet, and the two touches of gold lowered down. , soon gone.

Gu Qing opened his eyes the next moment.

And those two touches of gold are actually Schrödinger's eyes.

In other words, now Schrödinger has returned by himself and is sleeping at Gu Qing's feet.

Gu Qing sighed slightly in his heart.

After the end of the world, Schrödinger also mutated.Even though Gu Qing didn't examine it carefully, he was able to draw an inference about its mutation:

In an isolated system, particles can coexist in a steady state.But if this system is disturbed, it will change from a steady state to a chaotic state, which becomes unpredictable.A previously isolated quantum system would revert to separate states of matter, each entangled with its own unique state.

In other words, the object can be both in-phase and out-of-phase at the same time. This enables multiple parallel realities.

Corresponding to Schrödinger, the black cat raised by Xue Minghe, because of the molecular phase transition, it can do things out of phase with reality, such as passing through walls.

This is different from changing the distance between its own molecules to pass through objects; it is not the same as what Gu Qing made before, which can change the atomic composition of a substance, and transform one substance into another.

This also involves the microscopic field.

This mutation is very likely to endow Schrödinger with the ability to observe matter that could not be observed before.

Speaking of Gu Qing, this still has to involve the soul. After all, he is his own soul now, attached to Xue Minghe's body.

Anyway, it was Schrödinger who noticed the difference in his master, and he couldn't accept it, so he ran away.

Now that Schrödinger is back, it is very likely because this is still Xue Minghe, and the body of its owner has a superposition state of "yes and no".

Gu Qing didn't want to expose Schrödinger's speciousness at first, but the smell that Schrödinger brought back was either stinky or stinky, and Gu Qing couldn't bear it.

"cough."

Schrödinger: "!"

Schrödinger woke up in an instant, and then ran out without caring about anything.

Gu Qing: "...let's talk."

Schrödinger resisted very much.

Gu Qing continued: "I saw you leaning over and lying at my feet."

Schrödinger: "Meow!"

Gu Qing opened his eyes and said nonsense: "You admit it, it's good."

Schrödinger: "Meow!"

Gu Qing clasped his arms around his chest: "A good horse doesn't want to turn back. You'd be very embarrassing if you sneaked back like this."

Schrödinger: "..."

Gu Qing still kept Schrödinger and gave him a bath.After Schrödinger ran away from Gu Qing, he didn't actually run very far, he just wandered around the base and its vicinity.

Although things are not so tense now, things like the cats who could get a lot of food just by being cute in the past rarely happen.

Schrödinger was not just hungry, his mouse-catching skills were becoming more and more mature.Speaking of which, there are no rats or cockroaches mutating in the base right now, but that doesn't mean it won't happen.

Just based on Gu Qing's observations, Schrödinger seems to be able to tell whether humans, animals or plants are infected, so don't worry about it eating it by mistake.

Right now this is not the point, the point is that this guy was originally a black cat, with black and shiny fur, but now it is black, thanks to the fact that it didn't grab Gu Qing's ankle, otherwise Gu Qing would definitely jump up the moment it came close .

cough.

This time when Gu Qing bathed Schrödinger, Schrödinger didn't howl like before, nor did he struggle. One person and one cat seemed to be speechless.

Alas, things are people and things are not things.

Gu Qing took off the rubber gloves and wiped Schrödinger clean.There is no hair dryer here. Seeing that Gu Qing had no follow-up action, Schrödinger stayed on the spot. It glanced at Gu Qing, hesitated for a while, and was about to leave.

Gu Qing opened his mouth at this moment: "Waiting for me to blow dry you?"

Schrödinger: "Meow!!"

Gu Qing said nicely, "I didn't make fun of you, I wanted to keep you and talk to you, okay?"

Schrödinger reluctantly stayed.

Although Gu Qing does not have a hair dryer here, there is still equipment that can replace it, and it is the kind that many researchers are queuing up to apply for.

Fortunately, Gu Qing is not a waste of money, because he took the opportunity to take Schrödinger's hair samples, as well as saliva and blood samples, and completed them without anyone noticing.

"I know you think I'm not your original master, and I'm not completely." Gu Qingmo said to Schrödinger at the end, "But I know there must be at least one parallel universe where your original master exists completely. At that time, I think I can send you to that parallel universe."

Schrödinger yelled anxiously.

Gu Qing nodded: "As long as you want, I think I can do it."

Schrödinger let out a soft cry, finally lay down next to Gu Qing's hand, and soon fell asleep.

But before the assistants came over the next day, Schrödinger disappeared, and no one except Gu Qing knew it had come.

Yes, there is the system.

The system is like a river of vinegar.

Gu Qing said casually: "You have always been my favorite system." It seems that Gu Qing has been exposed to many systems, but in fact there are not many.

System: "Hee hee."

Gu Qing waited for a while, but before the burden rang, he covered his forehead.Then he said again: "Besides, I made an agreement with Schrödinger, and the culprit is you. If I didn't feel bored, how could I study the sister parallel world of this parallel world."

system:"……"

Gu Qing also said: "Maybe you can go to the parallel world where the original author lives, and tell her what it's like to be her 'creation'."

System: "This is fun."

The system was appeased like this, let's talk about returning to reality.

The research on Han Yijun's portable space has been put on the agenda, and the research on zombies cannot be left behind.

In addition, there are studies on supernatural powers, research on whether the zombie virus is infected or not, etc., just like whether the survivors are infected by the zombie virus, this is not the responsibility of Gu Qing's group of people.

Although there is no Gu Qing over there, all the top researchers here, but under the pressure of the apocalypse, everyone can still unite as one, and the isolation and testing procedures will be greatly simplified soon.

The rules and order of the base quickly came to fruition. Once the state machine is in operation, even in the end of the world, other "machines" are still out of reach.

Not to mention anything else, the capital is very emboldened and tough in controlling supernatural beings, so that there will soon be a rough charter for research on supernatural abilities, their levels, and classifications. Even the test machines are in the process of being manufactured.

But that has nothing to do with Gu Qing.

Within two days, batches of zombies were sent to the research platform.

Zombies, as the name suggests, are walking dead.At the same time, unlike the zombies in the traditional culture of the Celestial Dynasty, the zombies have blurred faces, their bodies have rotted, and only their appetites are left.

Of course, there is still a process from becoming a zombie to becoming a walking dead.

Therefore, in order to study this process more thoroughly, the zombies sent in must not only be transformed, but also newly infected.

Human beings who have just been infected still have a certain degree of rationality, and their faces have changed significantly.

There is an ethical issue here, and there are still sane infected people, whether they are living bodies or not.

The researchers present were still not quite used to it at first. Gu Qing had already put on the protective clothing, and when he saw this, he said in a calm tone: "What are you still doing? Didn't we extract the zombie virus and inject it into healthy living bodies to get it?" Or if I tell you that the infected person was a pedophile before, it will be easier for you to get over the hurdle in your heart?" Gu Qing casually pointed to an infected person.

The infected person: "!!"

Other researchers: "...?"

Gu Qing didn't say casually: "He really is, he is still a primary school teacher."

This has indeed played a certain role, not to mention that everyone is dedicating their lives for more survivors, and they can overcome the hurdle in their hearts.

Soon everyone came to the conclusion that when the zombie virus infects a living body, it is hindered by the immune system of the living body, and the white blood cells will try to kill the infected cells, and usually all of them are killed together, which leads to the appearance of the human body. Lots of necrotic tissue.

In order to repair the loss of tissue and restore the function of the immune system, a large amount of food is needed to provide materials and energy sources, which makes the infected person have a strong appetite.

Just because the zombie virus cannot be killed, it will invade the brain in a short period of time, causing the infected person to gradually lose their intelligence and emotions, leaving only minimal hearing, sense of smell, and other bodily functions.

This is why when dealing with zombies, destroying their heads is the most effective.

What's even worse is that this zombie virus can be transmitted through body fluids, and the infection rate of body fluids is [-]%. Compared with other common viruses, the rate of onset has also made a qualitative leap.

And the source has not been found yet.

Before Gu Qing entered the Sixth Division, he carried out global monitoring, but didn’t he enter the Sixth Division later on.Fortunately, even if Gu Qing doesn't bring it up, not only the Celestial Dynasty wants to find the source, but other countries in the world also want to.

But so far, nothing has been found.

The arrival of the end times has seriously affected the transmission of information.

At this moment, the mobile phones in the survivor base in the capital can still be used, but many people's mobile phones have long been out of battery. Even if they have power, they cannot contact family and friends in other regions.

The country is also trying to solve the communication problem with other regions. From the current point of view, radio stations are the first choice.

In addition, there are digital trunking radio stations. This communication method has more functions, can be positioned, and has strong reliability. It was widely used in firefighting, military and police before the end of the world, but the latter required relay stations and satellites.

Although the relay station problem has been installed before solar energy panels, but the time is urgent and it is impossible to do it in place, but it still plays a big role. The leadership can still use this communication method to contact the survivor bases in some provinces .

Domestic communication is not so optimistic, let alone contact with foreign countries.

Everyone should take care of themselves first, and then share information if there is an opportunity in the future.

Then again, even if there is no way to find the source for a while, it doesn't mean that Gu Qing has nothing to do.

He is very accomplished in viruses. When he was Gu Beiting, he developed targeted and selective organic poisons. In the interstellar era, he even said that he wanted to study viruses that could sterilize the Federation. It can be seen.

What's more, he had studied the T virus before.

The zombie virus this time is similar to the T virus to some extent, but this zombie virus is more powerful.Because it can not only turn humans into zombies, but also allow humans to acquire abilities. At the same time, zombies can also evolve, just like abilities can be advanced.

It's still early days, and nothing has yet manifested itself.

But soon when the Sixth Division went out to search for supplies, they encountered a unique zombie.This zombie is not comparable to other zombies in terms of agility, strength, or even the hardness of the head. The Sixth Division almost suffered a big loss this time.

Although there were no casualties, everyone's faces were grim.

When the zombie was sent to the research platform, the researchers became serious when they heard about it, but they were not so surprised.Because before this, Gu Qing had already made speculations, but now he only saw evidence.

Gu Qing: "A big dish was delivered today, hurry up, what are you doing, it should be cold later."

When the researchers heard the words, they took action one after another.

Gu Qing was wearing protective clothing and stood on the outermost side.

Zou Qiong: "Mr. Xue, why don't you go over?"

Gu Qing: "I'm not hungry."

Zou Qiong: "..."

Gu Qing glanced at him, and said in a very casual tone: "If I were you, I would execute Tang Song. He is an unstable factor, and there is a 29% possibility that your team will lose three members .Then before it’s too late, the cleanest way is to eliminate the unstable factors.”

Zou Qiong frowned tightly: "He has done nothing wrong so far."

Gu Qing spread his hands: "That's why I said 'if I were you', but now because I said this to you, the probability will change. Let me calculate, um, the probability will become 43%."

Zou Qiong: "..."

Gu Qing is still pretending to be a magic stick: "It's like a prophecy. There is a person who made a prophecy in advance. People who listen to this prophecy want to do everything possible to prevent the prophecy from being realized, but they will still happen by accident. The fulfillment of the prophecy. But if the prophecy hadn't been there in the first place, the tragedy probably wouldn't have happened.

Director Zou, do you think I'm losing my mind?Then I can tell you that the rest of the ways to avoid the loss of your team are all within your acceptable range.

Then you have to think again, why didn't I say that at the beginning, then you can just think that I am testing you. "

Zou Qiong's expression was so indescribable.

Gu Qing: "Well, actually I am not."

Zou Qiong: "...Mr. Xue, are you awakening the side effect of the ability? Just like my ability, it has a durability limit."

Gu Qing looked at the progress in the dissecting room, and said lightly: "Why don't you think that I told you so much just because I didn't want to go over to dissect that zombie?"

Zou Qiong: "Huh?"

Gu Qing smiled slightly.

In the dissection room, the researcher who attacked the head of the second-level zombie shouted: "Mr. Xue! Come and see!" The researcher was wearing a protective suit, but he was still holding a bloody head in his hand. Under the call of gravity, the rotten flesh on the cheeks slid down one by one.

Gu Qing murmured: "Sooner or later, I will make a fully automatic operating table."

Before going in, Gu Qing did not forget to tell Zou Qiong two "tips and tricks".

And when Gu Qing arrived in the dissection room, facing the zombie's head, he showed a somewhat disgusted expression, as if it was a pile of shit, unlike other researchers who were in high spirits, Director Zou Qiong Zou seemed to understand a little bit. Isn't it cleanliness?

There was one in their team, but not long after the end of the world, his cleanliness got better without medicine.

In the end, where is the living space for cleanliness? Not to mention zombies, even if no one is doing urban cleaning, even if resources are tight now, no one is allowed to bathe, wash hands and change clothes frequently like before the end of the world. yes.

Zou Qiong is really a good person. He didn't think that Gu Qing was "why not eat minced meat", but thought that Gu Qing was a side effect of the awakening of supernatural powers, as if his emotions had become weak and his behavior became cold-blooded.

This is not his original intention.

Actually yes.

But if Zou Qiong misunderstood, let him misunderstand, Gu Qing has gained a lot here:

crystal nucleus.

In the brain of this second-level zombie, a pink crystal nucleus was found, the size of a soybean.In a pile of shit color, it is very conspicuous.After rinsing the crystal nuclei and shining it on the shadowless lamp, there is still a sense of clarity, like gems.

The researcher who discovered it is Chang Dan, who specializes in genetic engineering.He was surprised: "What is this?"

Gu Qing pondered: "The zombie has brain stones."

Chang Dan: "..."

What a god, zombies have brain stones, but after thinking about it carefully, Chang Dan still has no way to refute.

This zombie's brain stone was called a "crystal nucleus" in the original plot.At the beginning, everyone didn't realize its function, and it was not until later that the crystal core was regarded as a "tonic" for the advancement of abilities, which made the crystal core more popular, and soon made various colors of the crystal core Classification, set prices... It didn't mention what kind of research official researchers have.

Now, what may be the first crystal nucleus has been discovered at the Capital Survivor Base.

There is also Gu Qing, Gu Qing originally guessed that the crystal nucleus contains biological energy, and the original plot said that the crystal nucleus can be absorbed by people with supernatural powers, which also shows that the energy of the crystal nucleus can be exported and used , was re-released in the form of a supernatural power.

This further shows that as long as there are suitable "tools", the crystal nucleus is a kind of available energy.

This "tool" is not limited to supernatural beings.

For example, a weapon that ordinary survivors can also use, this weapon can release the effect of power release.

Another example is like a nuclear reactor, which releases a large amount of energy through fission or other methods, which can be used for power generation, heating, cooling, etc., or as a power with unique advantages.There may be other unexpected gains in the process.

Anyway, this crystal nucleus was placed here with Gu Qing, let him study it first.There is no opinion from the above. As for the researchers, except for a few, the other researchers are relatively simple and don’t have so much thought about it. Gu Qing’s talent and learning are enough to make him the chief researcher.

It has achieved results before, that is, referring to Han Yijun's portable space, he designed a complete set of soilless cultivation schemes.

The matching nutrient solution is a formula that has not been used in the last days. This nutrient solution is even a dilution of the spiritual spring or land in Han Yiyun's portable space, or a high-quality imitation version.But its effect is still very gratifying, and the output is estimated to be eight to ten times the previous output.

As for Han Yiyun's portable space, the existing crops were not allowed to be pulled out, but she followed the expert's plan to carry out more reasonable cultivation.

Of course, what is cultivated is not ordinary crops, but rare species and medicinal plants urgently collected from various places before the end of the world.After all, ordinary crops do not lack seeds or planting conditions, but rare species are likely to become extinct in the last days.And medicinal plants are also a necessity.

Fortunately, Han Yiyun's portable space is what kind of life, otherwise Han Yiyun just farms the land, and he will exhaust her to death.

The country has already started to build a soilless cultivation base, which also provides additional jobs for ordinary survivors to a certain extent.

They exchange labor for the necessities of survival, and because the state controls all aspects, it is relatively fair.

As for Gu Qing, the "rations" he received are quite acceptable.

Gu Qing doesn't have high requirements for food, he still eats enough for one person, and the whole family is not hungry, except for helping a certain cat occasionally.

Schrödinger did not agree with the term "aid", which is now bartered.After sneaking over the previous time, Schrödinger didn't come over for a while, and when he came again, he took a wallet with a stack of RMB in it.

Facing Gu Qing's gaze, it pushed the wallet to Gu Qing's side, and then confidently demanded Gu Qing's thoughtful service.

It is also a one-stop service of bathing, blowing and feeding.

Gu Qing thought for a while, and felt that Schrödinger's idea should be to talk about money instead of relationship.Schrödinger's IQ has improved significantly now, and this must have been learned from the outside.

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows: "Do you think I'm easy to deceive? How did I hear that this kind of money is not waste paper outside, and it's not much worse. Everyone is already using grain, or gold, silver and jade to make money. currency." So Gu Qing confiscated the wallet.

Schrödinger paused, then continued to push the wallet as if nothing had happened.

Gu Qing said coldly and ruthlessly: "You are pretending not to understand."

Schrödinger licked his paw and ignored Gu Qing.

Gu Qing looked at it and said, "Have you ever thought that if we didn't talk well this time, there would be no next time?"

Sure enough, Schrödinger didn't continue to pretend to be stupid, and it brought over a ring studded with diamonds.

To Gu Qing, this is actually useless, but this time he accepted it, and also added a hair-pulling service as a bonus.

And this time Schrödinger also slept in the laboratory for half the night, and disappeared before other people came over.

When Schrödinger came over again, Gu Qing was studying the crystal nucleus. When he saw it coming, he just looked at it and let him go to the compartment to take a bath by himself.It can now turn on and off the faucet, and it can still be turned on.

Schrödinger: "Meow!!"

As Schrödinger spoke, he also patted the floor under his feet, trying to create momentum.This is true, its front paws have penetrated half of the floor, it must have not reached the lower floor, otherwise it would have caused a supernatural event.

Gu Qing still ignored it.

Schrödinger left bitterly, and after less than two hours, it came back again with something still in its mouth.
