Devil Class Cannon Fodder

However, even if Schrödinger could raise his head and make a good cat, Gu Qing still didn't give it the crystal nucleus.

After all, there is only one now.

Schrödinger: "Meow!"

Gu Qing: "Are you calling me stingy?"

Schrödinger nodded halfway through, then stopped.

Gu Qing looked at it with raised eyebrows.

Schrödinger also seemed to realize that he was too cowardly, so he nodded his head resolutely.

Gu Qing: "Ugh—"

Schrödinger followed him for a long time, and looked at him eagerly.

Gu Qing finally finished his long voice and said: "Then you are right."

Schrödinger: "..."

Schrödinger lowered his head all of a sudden, looking relieved.

Gu Qing thought it was funny, stretched out his hand and scratched Schrödinger's chin, put on a new rubber glove, and continued to study his crystal nucleus.Schrödinger groaned, and leaned over again, following Gu Qing's movements, staring at the crystal nucleus without letting go.

Gu Qing couldn't see it: "Are you so rare about this crystal nucleus?"

Schrödinger immediately "meowed".

"It's just that I really can't give you this one, so you don't have to worry, you'll be able to see the others soon." As Gu Qing spoke, his tone became lighter, and he became thoughtful.

Schrödinger: "??"

Gu Qing put down the crystal nucleus, turned his head and asked, "Have you never seen a zombie with such a crystal nucleus before?"

Schrödinger tilted his head and thought for a while before nodding.

Gu Qing pulled out the electronic map of the base and the area near the base, and asked Bai Ze to mark the area where Liu Daming and Liu Xiaoliang's team went on this mission.

Then, Gu Qing asked Bai Ze to mark the area where Schrödinger had recently been active, and there was indeed no overlap.The areas where Schrödinger has been active recently are relatively fixed. It is summer now, and their group of supernatural animals is not short of supplies.

Especially in the previous spring, Schrödinger reached an agreement with a mutated plant, a pine tree on the side of Yudu Mountain. Schrödinger provided it with a crystal nucleus, and the mutated pine tree allowed them to hunt and inhabit Yudu Mountain.Otherwise, when they enter Yudu Mountain, they will be served by pine needles, and the mutated pine needles can easily shoot through the steel plate.

Right now, what Gu Qing cares about is not Schrödinger's social circle, but whether it is a second-level zombie or a third-level zombie, Schrödinger has discovered it earlier than the base.Especially the third-level zombies, Schrödinger even picked up several third-level zombies, and only encountered them at the base, and it has a unique feeling for this.

Gu Qing looked at the area where Liu Daming and Liu Xiaoliang were traveling.

With the passage of time in the end of the world, the areas near the base that can be searched for materials have been searched all over, and it is still the kind that can only dig three feet into the ground.Therefore, after this year's summer, the search area will continue to radiate outwards on the original basis.

This time, Liu Daming and Liu Xiaoliang's team dared to take the lead because they were all supernatural beings, but they didn't expect to lose Liu Xiaoliang.

Gu Qing's sensor array does not have such a wide range of mapping.

Gu Qing asked Bai Ze to extract all the records of the portable life detectors of Liu Daming and Liu Xiaoliang's team - after knowing that Liu Xiaoliang was infected after being scratched, Gu Qing paid attention to all aspects, the portable life detectors are useful All kinds of data were recorded, so they temporarily "detained" this one of their team.

Not only this portable life detector, but all of Liu Xiaoliang's human tissues were destroyed again, including the place where he was temporarily quarantined. The team that brought the infected Liu Xiaoliang to the research center ate his mice infected with human tissues. , and the dead body of Liu Daming, etc.

While Gu Qing was thinking, Bai Ze compiled various data.

Schrödinger: "Meow??"

Gu Qing ignored it.

Schrödinger rested his head on Gu Qing's arm, and looked at the electronic map on the laboratory table with a serious face.It can still tell where it is, at least it can recognize the areas where it is often active. Before Gu Qing suggested to it where to spend the winter, it followed the advice and took its little friends to the area suggested by Gu Qing. place.

Now Schrödinger finished reading the map and looked at the crystal nucleus again, as if he understood something.

Schrödinger looked up again at Gu Qing, who was concentrating on integrating data, and slid away like a ghost, sliding towards the crystal nucleus.

Gu Qing didn't even look at this side: "Don't think about it."

Schrödinger: "!"

Schrödinger: "Meow." Schrödinger just squatted and looked at the crystal nucleus for 1 minute.Then the meaning of its meow probably means "I'll just take a look".

Schrödinger could only leave with hatred in the end, but Gu Qing had a breakthrough.

According to the comparison of relevant data, Gu Qing suspects that the zombies that infected Liu Xiaoliang may not only be the fourth-level zombies that are one level higher than the third-level zombies.After Liu Xiaoliang turned into a zombie, the detected energy peak was quite different from the energy peak detected by his team's portable life detector before he was scratched.All the energy peaks of the third-level zombies, even if the levels are not uniform, the deviation value is basically fixed within a certain range.

According to Gu Qing's previous research on zombies and crystal nuclei, the numerical values ​​of the fourth-level zombies simulated, the zombie Liu Xiaoliang's is in line.However, the zombie that scratched him exceeded the estimated maximum value.

Of course, this doesn't mean for sure that it's not just level four zombies.After all, when Gu Qing made his calculations, he only made an estimate, and they had never seen a fourth-level zombie before, let alone a zombie of a higher level.

But there are other "evidences".

The rats that ate the infected part of Liu Xiaoliang's body were killed at that time, but their bodies were not sent to the research center.

According to the memories of the squadron that searched for Liu Daming at that time, the mice mutated extremely quickly after eating the strips of meat, and they were not like the most common zombies, with stiff movements, but rather high agility and speed. Soon, and the teeth became extremely sharp.

Obviously, the meat strips are "great tonic".

no……

It was Liu Xiaoliang's infected human tissue, the infectivity of the zombie virus contained in it, and the mutation potency is not generally high, surpassing all the current zombie viruses.It's no wonder that Liu Xiaoliang was just scratched, and he mutated into a zombie as a supernatural being.

Gu Qing still needs more data to confirm that the zombie is a higher-level zombie.

This is very important.

You must know that the only known fourth-level zombie is Liu Xiaoliang.If there is a zombie that directly crosses the fourth level, then this zombie is very likely to be the source, or has a direct or indirect relationship with the source.

That's what everyone is looking for.

Gu Qing put most of his attention on this project.

At the same time, Gu Qing's speculation has received great attention. Even if the zombie has nothing to do with the source of the zombie virus, then a high-level zombie must be eliminated as soon as possible.

And because Liu Xiaoliang's precedent was put there, the base also held a meeting with the captains of the teams, explaining the horror of the supernatural being turned into a zombie.Let them pay attention to their own safety while they are on missions, and try not to be emotional. Once the companion of the supernatural being is infected, he must be eliminated before he turns into a zombie.

The leaders of the al-Qaeda did not just talk about it, but they relaxed the application conditions for new weapons.It has been nearly five months since the new weapon was successfully developed. The first ones assigned by the base are naturally the national teams. Some civilian teams have successfully applied, but the conditions are relatively harsh.

One is that the new weapons are still unable to be mass-produced, and the other is that He Xiaodong and his party "revolted" first.

Fortunately, now that the situation is getting more and more severe, the supernatural beings at the survivor base in the capital realized that although they can't call the wind and rain here, at least their survival and safety are more guaranteed.

So do friends and family.

This has increased their sense of belonging to the base to a certain extent, and they will not forget that living now is the most important thing for the sake of illusory power.

In addition, even if the new weapon still cannot be mass-produced, it is not like the initial production.Now that there is a production line, the quantity is still relatively abundant, otherwise a batch of new weapons would not have been quietly dispatched to the other two more official bases.

There is also the ability gun and the ability cannon. During this period, corresponding improvements have been made, which are easier to use, and the lethality has also increased compared to the beginning.

It can be said that the relaxation of the application requirements at the base can be regarded as a shot in the arm for the team. After all, not all teams have supernatural powers.

Under normal circumstances, the team has more ordinary people than ability users, so every extra ability rifle is equivalent to one more ability user, or the kind that as long as there are enough crystal cores, they can use the ability continuously. That kind of supernatural being.

There was even a team that received a superpower cannon, which made their team even more powerful.

It's just that the situation everyone is facing now is more severe than ever before.

Gu Qing updated his sensor array, and further connected to the reconnaissance satellite, expanding the scope of surveying and mapping.

At the same time, the portable life detector was updated in the background to further search and locate the zombie.

The progress of the laboratory has also accelerated. Fortunately and unfortunately, Gu Qing's guess is correct.That zombie is a more advanced zombie, and he has a considerable degree of intelligence. After only one confrontation, he realized that there are detectors on the side of the human survivors (after analysis, it is speculated that this zombie may have memories before mutation, in the In that part of memory, there is the existence of portable detectors), so he first commanded a group of zombies to surround a team remotely.

Most of the zombies were ordinary zombies, at most there were a few second-level zombies, and a few sporadic third-level zombies.Only the second-level zombies and the third-level zombies have crystal nuclei. This team looked at the strength of the opposite zombies and decided to take down this group of zombies.

During the firefight, because the battle line was stretched, the team was inevitably dispersed, and the portable life detector was destroyed by a third-level zombie.

The team realized something was wrong at this time, and it was impossible to evacuate immediately, because more and more zombies were rushing towards them, and that zombie was mixed in with a group of ordinary zombies, approaching this team silently. squad.

And his ultimate goal is the supernatural beings, he just wants to infect the supernatural beings and create more level [-] zombies.

Liu Xiaoliang and his team had been targeted by him before, but the portable life detector detected abnormal data, so they evacuated in time, only Liu Xiaoliang was unfortunately scratched.

This time, the zombie was more fully prepared and was planning to leave more supernatural beings behind.

And just when this advanced zombie was about to destroy people with his hands, a shock wave fell from the sky.

This has nothing to do with Gu Qing, this shock wave was sent by the Blue Winged Bat King.Its ability has evolved before, and it is not an animal this time, it was brought by Schrödinger.This unlucky cat never forgot about higher-level crystal nuclei. After leaving Gu Qing that day, it began to search everywhere, and this time it caught up.

When Gu Qing found out about this, his complexion changed in the research center.

Turning around, he persuaded the base to dispatch Zou Qiong and his team, and gave Zou Qiong and his team the destination coordinates on the grounds of discovering the senior zombie, and at the same time took over the command.

Not only Zou Qiong's team, but also the command of the team that was the original target, was also taken over.The latter had no remote connection with the base, and it was their team leader, Cheng Fang, who commanded by the walkie-talkie, and Gu Qing took over the command of Cheng Fang.

Zou Qiong's team still had 10 minutes to arrive, what Gu Qing needed was to stabilize the situation.Also, even though Gu Qing couldn't take over Schrödinger's command, he knew Schrödinger much better than Cheng Fang, the team leader, and Schrödinger's friends.

Gu Qing even knew exactly when they were upgraded.

While coordinating the command, Gu Qing was also deeply aware of his omission. He should have prepared ground strike weapons or remote-controlled weapons.He has been thinking about this before, but if the former uses satellites to attack the ground from space, the operability is very small, because there is no way to go to space to modify the satellites or re-launch the satellites; but the latter It is quite feasible, Gu Qing added this matter to the schedule in his heart.

It is worth mentioning that although there are no remote-controlled weapons, there are long-range strike weapons among the existing new weapons, and Zou Qiong's team is equipped with them.

Gu Qing didn't focus on two things any more, and devoted himself to joining the battle remotely.

Speaking of the human survivors, Fu Sijin is generally recognized as having the highest supernatural power level, but Schrödinger's supernatural power level is slightly higher than Fu Sijin's, so the lethality is self-evident.So it and its friends joined the battle, which reversed the decline of the human survivors to a certain extent, not to mention that Zou Qiong was already doing remote output.

The highest goal this time is not to capture that high-level zombie alive. He can remotely summon zombies and let him into the base. Doesn't the base become a summoning center?Therefore, just to obtain his tissue samples, and to prevent him from escaping, and to prevent the survivors from being folded here, everyone put all their strength into attacking this advanced zombie.

It is estimated that this advanced zombie did not expect that it would be so difficult for him to come out and develop an offline.He wanted to retreat strategically and summon more zombies to cover him, but he failed. In the end, Schrödinger meowed and pulled out his head and pulled out the crystal nucleus.

The high-level zombie just cut off the electricity.

The zombies summoned by him took a lot of effort from the human team.During this period, the researchers who came with Zou Qiong's team took precautions and obtained various samples of the advanced zombie.

Later, in order to prevent the tissue of this advanced zombie from being eaten by other zombies or animals, a thorough "destruction of the corpse" was carried out after the samples were taken.

It is worth mentioning that when the human team was busy here, Schrödinger withdrew with the crystal nucleus.

In other words, in the end, the base didn't get that crystal nucleus.It's just that the base side can't justify it, after all, they haven't picked up on the leaks, and they have made a lot of effort.

Furthermore, what the base is more concerned about is whether this advanced zombie will help vaccine research.

Two days later, Gu Qing gave an affirmative answer.

This news is definitely the most exciting since the last days!

Especially one day ago, the Survivor Base in the capital received news that some countries were preparing to use nuclear weapons in the face of zombie tide.

Even if nuclear weapons will not be used in the country, everyone is very clear about the harm caused by nuclear weapons.For human beings, the use of nuclear weapons is definitely a countermeasure to kill one thousand enemies and self-destroy one thousand, but being forced to this point also shows how serious the situation is.

Gu Qing actually exceeded his goal.

Regardless of whether the high-level zombie is the so-called king of zombies, his zombie virus does have the effect of manually promoting the evolution of zombies, but in this promotion process, the priority target is the supernatural being, because the supernatural being can contribute to this evolution. , to better provide the required energy.

This series of reactions gave Gu Qing the most critical inspiration.

He didn't take care of the vaccine first, but first gave a plan to stop the evolution of the zombies, or even degenerate.That is to say, to a certain extent, it reversed the process of the high-level zombie infecting Liu Xiaoliang, using synthetic organisms to act on the zombies, stopping the evolution of the zombies, and even making them degenerate.

Specifically, the third-level zombies can degenerate into second-level zombies, even ordinary zombies; the second-level zombies can degenerate into ordinary zombies.It is ineffective against ordinary zombies, because only the second-level and third-level zombies have crystal nuclei, and the role of the crystal nuclei becomes to provide energy for the process of degradation.

So the zombies will be ordinary zombies in the future, and there will be no crystal nucleus.

And the crystal nucleus is to promote the ability of the ability user to improve the ability. Without the crystal nucleus, the ability of the ability user will not be improved.

In a sense, this is what it should be—before the ability users and zombies were co-evolving, the evolution of the ability users relied on the crystal nucleus, and the evolution of the zombies, at a certain stage, became that it also needed the ability to evolve. those who can.Then when the zombies can no longer evolve, according to a certain conservation principle that may exist, the superhumans also lose the opportunity to evolve.

Then again, despite the large number of ordinary zombies, they are not difficult to deal with.They have neither intelligence, nor can they attack bases in a planned and organized manner. They don't have additional physical qualities such as agility and strength, and ordinary bullets can make them lose power.

Let alone vaccines.

In fact, the previous research center has made some progress in the research on the zombie virus possessed by ordinary zombies.Now that the most critical part has been overcome, a vaccine is just around the corner.

Still, it's not going to happen overnight.

How to spread the organic virus against zombies is a big problem.When Gu Qing synthesized it, he took this point into consideration, and air transmission was considered first.

At the same time, it must be ensured that this organic virus only acts on zombies, and at the same time, it will not chime with other molecules or atoms during the transmission process.

But anyway, now that the light has been seen, it may be better than nothing.

Gu Qing can also escape from the high-intensity research and breathe a sigh of relief.He didn't say it was day and night during this time, but his mental power was highly concentrated, so it was very exhausting.

Now that it suddenly slowed down, even Gu Qing still felt physically and mentally exhausted.He hadn't felt the feeling of being lethargic for a long time, so he didn't feel very good, and his face didn't look very good.

Chief of Staff Lin hurriedly arranged for him to rest. Several people had already collapsed in the medical room.

When Gu Qing came over, Professor Qi and Professor Wang were both on drips, mainly to deliver glucose.

Gu Qing waved to the nurse, signaling that he didn't need it.The nurse brought him digestible food, two boxes of chocolates and a jar of sugar.After finishing this, the nurse left lightly and closed the door gently.

Gu Qing knew that he needed to eat, but he had no appetite.

"Xiao Xue, you have worked hard."

Gu Qing: "Yes."

After a while, Professor Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We succeeded." There is joy, but it's just that I can't breathe much at the moment.

"Yeah." Gu Qing took a piece of chocolate, swallowed it whole without chewing it, "Otherwise I'm going to kill Fu Sijin—you say, if he, the protagonist, disappears, will the world collapse like this?"

Professor Qi: "..."

Wang Wenli, Professor Wang: "... You have to discuss this issue with Xiao Jiang."

Gu Qing ate something again, drank a few sips of warm water to dilute the taste in his mouth, and felt better.He and Professor Qi said a few more words, and then returned to his personal laboratory with support. Because they basically live in the laboratory, there are his bedroom and study behind the laboratory.

Gu Qing rubbed the space between his brows, took off his coat and shoes, and fell on the bed.

Deep tiredness swept over, and Gu Qing soon fell asleep.

During the period, Schrödinger squeezed into the bed and woke up.Gu Qing only had time to watch it wash its paws and brush its teeth, but before he could open his mouth to drive it off, he fell asleep again.

Schrödinger has a moment of disbelief.

In the past, it mostly stayed at Gu Qing's place for a few hours before leaving. Even when it was sleeping, it would curl up at Gu Qing's feet, or beside the laboratory table, because Gu Qing slept later than it did.Furthermore, even if Gu Qing went to bed or took a nap on the sofa, he would not hug Schrödinger with him.

Anyway, Schrödinger never slept next to Gu Qing.This time it was just trying, but it didn't expect to be driven away.Schrödinger was so happy that he squeezed his head into the bend of Gu Qing's arm, stretched his legs comfortably, and then closed his eyes.

Bai Ze silently adjusted the room temperature.

Although sleepy, Gu Qing didn't sleep for a long time, and woke up early the next morning.In addition to the biological clock, it was also because of the feeling that the body was pressed by a stone. In fact, Schrödinger had a bad sleeping position and clung to Gu Qing's stomach.

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment before realizing what was going on.

Gu Qing pinched Schrödinger's nape and lifted it to the side without waking it up.On the other hand, I went to wash up, changed the clothes I was wearing before, and ate breakfast again, and then I regained my energy.

Schrödinger rolled happily, but it woke up without rolling anything.

Sneaking out of the bedroom, Schrödinger met Gu Qing's half-smiling eyes.

Schrödinger: "!"

Gu Qing still had a smile on his face: "Oh, long time no see, how are you doing during this time?"

Schrödinger returned to normal: "Meow."

Gu Qing said again abruptly: "You didn't absorb that crystal nucleus very well."

Schrödinger: "!"

"That's right, you heard my voice that day, and I saw what you did." Gu Qing said that when Schrödinger and his friends went to fight that advanced zombie, Gu Qing's voice came from the team The intercom broadcast by Captain Cheng Fang came out.

This fellow Schrödinger listened intently and pretended not to hear it. He also knew that that day was very dangerous, otherwise he would not have come here during this period of time.Of course, it may also be because it silently swallowed the crystal nucleus with its friends, and was embarrassed to come here.

Gu Qing didn't continue to tease Schrödinger, and let it come over to check it. Although it didn't absorb the crystal nucleus smoothly, there was no damage to its body. On the contrary, its abilities had improved.

Realizing that Gu Qing's attitude had softened, Schrödinger let out a soft cry.

Gu Qing said lightly: "There will be no next time."

Schrödinger nodded quickly, and rubbed Gu Qing's hand flatteringly.

Gu Qing felt disgusted in the next second: "Did you take a shower yesterday?"

Schrödinger: "..."

The matter was finally revealed, but in the end Schrödinger still left with his tail between his legs, and when he appeared in front of his little friends, he was full of complacency.

The matter on Gu Qing's side is not over yet. Although the high-level zombie has been dealt with, Gu Qing is still not completely sure that he is the source, so this matter needs to be further confirmed.

First of all, based on the facial features of the senior zombie and the data storage hard drive obtained from the relevant department before, we can conduct a population survey first to see if we can find the household registration information of the senior zombie when he was still a human.

In addition, according to the activity traces of that advanced zombie, follow up.

This Zou Qiong is very proficient, that is, the data on their Sixth Division is relatively complete, and they have been transferred before the end of the world, and even in the end of the world, the Sixth Division still exists, and Staff Officer Zhao is still in charge of this department.

At the beginning of the end of the world, many spies were caught, and several countries were probing at the border. Afterwards, as the end of the world spread, this kind of thing gradually disappeared.Later, it was still the Sixth Office that contacted other countries for information transfer and related confidentiality matters.

It can be said that the six departments have been operating, and have not been shut down like other departments due to the end of the world.

Therefore, it is more appropriate to hand over the investigation to Zou Qiong and the others.

Gu Qing started to adjust his research project list. He felt that he had researched everything he could research. Now he had to finish the unfinished projects, and then it was time to think about leaving this world.

After all, the previous "book wearer"'s cognition of Xue Minghe has been confirmed, and it has been taken care of before and after.

By the way, it will be interesting to think about how to leave at that time.
