On the day when [Ruby Snow] fell, some research institutes had already started research. Those creatures that fell from the sky did not have the cellular structure of Earth. In this sense, they are very similar to viruses, but they obviously do not have the characteristic of viruses that cannot survive for too long without a host. Their extremely unstable and mutagenic properties will vary depending on each individual, and this difference is even reflected in the animals used for experiments, which means that not only humans, but some animals are also infected.
Therefore classification is actually a very difficult matter. However, researchers quickly made basic classifications according to common methods. Type A, the extraterrestrial mother strain virus, type E, the earth-derived secondary virus, type G, the hybrid genotype intrabiologically transformed virus, and type W, the specific unclassified type.
Among these types, Type E is actually the vast majority, that is, the first and subsequent humans and animals infected by the virus released by Ruby Snow. The G type is derived from secondary infectious organisms spontaneously produced by these infectious agents. As for type A, the specific definition is that it is an extraterrestrial life form composed directly of this type of virus without any adaptive evolution on the earth. It was only a consideration when it was defined.
After Lu Ning roughly studied the contents of the computer, the results of the interrogation there also came out. Not all four people could endure it. Soon someone confessed that they had obtained these things after robbing and killing people in a car. In fact, they had no idea where these things should be sent, but after discovering The equipment on the car could be used to refine monster limbs to make weapons, and he used these to go on a rampage for two days, but he was stopped here unexpectedly.
"Still little knowledge." After learning this, Huo Bin snorted a little mockingly. The abilities of these four people... are not even abilities. They are just physically stronger. It is also because most of the superpowers nowadays are not strong or unable to fight that they can be frightened. The weapon's refining effect is actually not much different from Ke Zhiliang's reinforcement effect.
"I have already called up the map on the car. Although the satellite map is no longer available, they have marked a route in advance, which shows that they must know in advance where there are safe large bases that can use this directory and other research Results." Lu Ning said, "More importantly, this also means that other communication methods have been used, and humans are not unable to organize a counterattack."
"That's good news." Huo Bin nodded, and everyone else in the room was also very happy.
"So where is the base? We can move there in the future." Ke Zhiliang said.
"This is the map, you can see it yourself." Lu Ning turned the computer screen.
The target location is not very far from here. It usually only takes about six hours to drive, but now it is not so smooth to get there. Along the way, we had to take into account issues such as terrain, monsters, and garrisoning. Ke Zhiliang fell silent for a moment, and everyone in the room was thinking about how to bring these hundreds of people there if they were to set off.
"Is there really a base there?" Ma Fusheng whispered, "We have no way to verify it."
"It's simple, as long as someone goes over to explore, it's enough." Lu Ning said, "It's nothing to me to take a long journey."
"Are you going voluntarily?" Huo Bin was a little surprised, "This is different from when you came back. What we need is not only to know that there is a base there, but also to know who is the manager there and what is the condition of the base. In short... … We need to make sure that all of us can settle down there and avoid being displaced as much as possible.”
"Of course I will find out more about this, but on the other hand, I hope there will be no problems with your management. People like today will be arrested and interrogated directly in the future."
Ke Zhiliang felt a little ashamed: "I didn't do well enough today."
"It doesn't matter. As long as the captain can learn and grow, this little time is enough for us. Xiao Ning, please pay attention to safety on the road. Monsters are on the one hand. When you get to the base, you must also pay attention to guarding against people." Lu Yuezong warned.
"I know, don't worry dad, there are not many people who can beat me now."

After discussing it, Lu Ning packed up her luggage and hit the road the next day. She also exported some less important research data from that computer, which might be useful if she wanted to communicate with her superiors at the base.
She also recorded different monster states along the way. When she left, Ke Zhiliang provided her with three cameras, both digital and film. In the early days of the apocalypse, if you don’t know much about monsters, the monster images alone are of great value. And Lu Ning has learned map drawing, so it is not difficult to draw all these monsters and locations.
At this time, Lu Ning even underestimated the value of being able to travel long distances and take out such a map.
The Canglonggang base relied on the timely gathering of troops and the superpower coordination of Major General Zhang Enhua to quickly eliminate a group of monsters born nearby. Immediately afterwards, a basic refuge area was quickly established based on the nearby higher terrain and the existing ancient city wall, and began to accept refugees fleeing from the doomsday from all directions. Screening and work assignments for superpowers were immediately followed. Military efficiency was exerted to great effect in the establishment of the base, but within a few days a strong fortress was built. Different positions such as combat, medical, and logistics also performed their own duties, and the refugees became residents of the base. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Enhua began the census and communication network work for the entire base. Since high-tech communication means do not exist, then use the most traditional means of communication such as beacons, flashing lights, and semaphores that do not require electromagnetic waves.
When Lu Ning arrived, the soldiers at the door were registering the people who came to defect. News of the large bases has also spread to nearby areas, and all the small groups and organizations that cannot support the base have come here, and some of the big ones are also planning to come here to do some good work based on their own number of people.
Fortunately, there weren't many people in line. Lu Ning waited in line for ten minutes before it was her turn.
Name, gender, age, origin, specialties... and most importantly, whether they have super powers.
When Lu Ning said that she came from about five hundred kilometers away, the soldier was obviously stunned for a moment. He looked at Lu Ning up and down, and then said, "Are you a superpower? What are your powers?"
"Invisible." Lu Ning was used to this answer.
"Traveled five hundred kilometers to come here?"
"Yes, I came from a small settlement. Because the security there was not enough, I went out to explore possible large bases. After all, the national power is still reliable. If the situation here is good, we will try to relocate here."
"Hmm... Okay, so you didn't encounter any danger along the way? Can your superpowers allow you to pass safely?"
"Yes. In addition, I also have the map along the way and the photos taken along the way, which can prove that I am telling the truth." Lu Ning said.
The soldier asked Lu Ning to wait, and went to the side to report in a low voice to a person who seemed to be the team leader. The team leader came over and picked up Lu Ning's filled-in information, took a look at it, and then said to Lu Ning: " Please come with me."
The team leader took her into the small booth next to her, asked her to sit on the chair next to her, and then reached out and started tapping a button next to her. Lu Ning could tell that he was filming Morse code, but the "code" was connected to a lamp set high above the sentry box.
After about ten minutes, two people who looked like they had higher military ranks came to the guard box.
"What's the emergency?"
"Weren't we evaluating and mapping the surrounding area before? We are still urgently recruiting people who can conduct out-of-field surveys. Today, a young girl came from five hundred kilometers away with a map. Take a look at the situation." said the leader.
The two people immediately turned their attention to Lu Ning, who also took out the map he had drawn along the way from his bag. Her map was not particularly detailed, but there were ready-made maps of the surrounding terrain. The only thing she needed was detailed annotation of the monsters in Lu Ning's hands.
"Did you draw these?" The slightly older man's hands began to tremble with excitement as he looked at the map.
"This... Lu Ning, her ability is invisibility. It seems that it can make monsters unable to detect it. This kind of superpower is exactly the type we are looking for. It is quite rare. Our invisibility person It can still be seen with the naked eye." The team leader laughed.
"Okay! Girl, can you come with us to the Surveying and Mapping Department? We really need to communicate with you there. Of course, we won't force you. We are just preliminary discussing whether we can cooperate."
"Can."
The two people who came to pick him up were both main members of the Surveying and Mapping Department. The older one was named Ren Bingjun, and the slightly younger one was named Luo Wei. After internal things began to stabilize, Zhang Enhua put external exploration on the agenda, and Surveying and Mapping The Ministry is the first group of people to bear the brunt. At present, their main map work is based on the information they bought from the teams they defected to. However, there are not many people in the world who have the awareness to actively draw maps, and there are even fewer professionals who can survive to get here. At most, the Surveying and Mapping Department knew what kind of monster there was in which direction from the descriptions of the group of people, but they couldn't tell much about the specific situation.
Lu Ning's map of nearly 500 kilometers not only allowed them to complete their initial mission, but also saw the hope of independent exploration. These people are all soldiers. Although the welcome is not too warm, their attitude towards Lu Ning is already very good.
In such an atmosphere, the conversation between the two parties was also very pleasant. The person in charge of the surveying and mapping department could decide to accept the hundreds of people from Lu Ning's side, even if it was just because of Lu Ning's talents, not to mention that there would definitely be a shortage of people for the development of the base. However, the more detailed parts have to follow the base's procedures. Zhang Enhua's rules are to disperse a large number of people and place them in suitable jobs. It is basically impossible to retain the original team structure.
Although these soldiers were very satisfied with Lu Ning, they did not agree to some unrealistic demands because of this. Lu Ning asked them to study the map first while he took a look around the base.
When the base was first built, it was still in a state of ruins awaiting development. Because their wealth and lives are at stake, people's enthusiasm for work is almost unprecedented, and the difference between ordinary people and people with super powers is not very big. After all, most superpowers nowadays are a bit special, but they may not be able to participate in combat. They are just very convenient in some jobs.
The trading place is currently controlled by the military, and private transactions are not allowed, because all resources in the early stage need to be utilized and will not be forcibly collected, but transactions must be conducted under explicit control. The few stores Lu Ning saw had soldiers standing guard there.
The production part is also being rebuilt. After the end of the world, the previous production order will be completely broken, agriculture and industry will be basically destroyed, and everything will have to start again. Currently, the base is trying to reclaim farmland. Using superpowers and existing greenhouse technology, we can barely cultivate some seedlings for spring plowing. Industry, on the other hand, needs to constantly send people to collect machines from surrounding factories. This is a big project. Although there are some small factories in the area where the base itself is based, they certainly cannot meet long-term needs.
Finally there is the barracks.
There is no private combat organization here at all. All units that need to be dispatched to fight must be reported in the military camp, similar to a militia situation. While retaining a certain degree of freedom, all tasks must be registered in the base. There is a complete set of procedures for entry and exit, seizure, and combat records. There are real soldiers in the barracks to provide these people with basic combat training.
There were quite a lot of people training here at this time. Lu Ning walked in and took a look. Some soldiers came over and asked if they wanted to go in and train together. It seemed that anyone who was willing to participate in the battle could participate.
After turning around, Lu Ning returned to the working place of the Surveying and Mapping Department.
"Lu Ning, are you back?" Ren Bingjun greeted her with a smile, "How are you? The situation at this base is not bad. I think there are not many people in the world who can respond quickly and establish such an order after the apocalypse. .”
"It's indeed very orderly." Lu Ning nodded, "I also learned about some of the rules here, and they are not particularly unacceptable. The only difficulty at the moment is how our people can get here."
"Yes, large numbers of people migrating long distances are always a big problem. Lu Ning, you are a very precious person now. You must pay attention to protecting your own safety." Ren Bingjun said quickly, "Although there is no news from the minister yet, But I am sure that the order to protect your safety will come first. Maybe Major General Zhang will personally issue the order. We are trying to regain the lost ground now, and you are our only scout."
