The two first met at the female survivor base. At that time, Chen Shuo was still an ordinary nurse, and Zhu Li was the eldest sister of the base. The two had a very good relationship and were almost inseparable.
"congratulations."
After letting go of each other, Chen Shuo said sincerely: "I didn't expect that in just a few days, you could reach where you are now. It's really amazing!"
"Don't mention it..."
Zhu Li smiled bitterly and shook her head, telling Chen Shuo all the situations she encountered after leaving the base. At the same time, she also briefly told the inside story here to prevent Chen Shuo from falling into the tiger's mouth.
After listening to what she said, Chen Shuo couldn't help but frown and asked: "With such an important matter as genetic experiments, can anyone do whatever they want?"
"hehe."
Julie smiled bitterly and said, "Who gave them the right?"
After saying that, Zhu Li sighed and said: "Actually, I also know that the base will definitely help those high-level officials in their research secretly. Otherwise, how could they be allowed to mess around like this..."
"Since you know, you shouldn't compromise!" Chen Shuo said coldly.
"there's no way!"
Zhu Li sighed helplessly and said: "After all, we have no basic background and we have just joined. We have no say here and can't make the decision at all. Even if we know that we have been cheated, we can only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis..."
Chen Shuo was silent for a moment, then patted Zhu Lixiang's shoulder to comfort her: "Don't worry, Sister Zhu, I will definitely help you."
She paused and added: "After this assessment is over, I will apply to join the internal staff and report this matter to my superiors."
Zhu Li was stunned for a moment, then she was ecstatic and said gratefully: "Thank you, Shuo'er, thank you very much..."
"Everyone, you have been selected from tens of thousands of people. The first batch of warriors to participate in the experiment will receive the first injection of the reagent today."
While Zhu Li and Chen Shuo were talking, a serious voice suddenly came over: "This reagent is specially prepared for you. It has strong anti-viral properties and can even resist the invasion of zombie viruses. But one thing you must remember is that this solution can only be used for injection, and only one tube can be used for each injection."
"Because this is a potion designed to test the characteristics of your physique. Everyone has a unique physique. If the injection exceeds the standard, it will not only be useless, but may also lead to death. I hope you can all keep this in mind."
"clear!"
Everyone replied in unison, with solemn expressions.
Next, more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers escorted more than fifty people to a huge warehouse deep in the training base.
The warehouse was heavily guarded outside, with three floors inside and three floors outside. It was densely packed with people. A rough estimate was that there were at least five or six hundred people.
The warehouse door opened and everyone filed in. After entering, they discovered that the place looked like a square with a flat floor.
There are many glass rooms on the surrounding walls, with many equipment placed inside.
At the front of the square, there is a row of steel shelves. The shelves are filled with glass jars, which contain various liquids, solid or transparent liquids, exuding all kinds of weird smells. It makes me sick to hear it.
What's even weirder is that the air here is actually light green.
"What the hell are these things?"
"It looks scary..."
Everyone was talking, fear flashing in their eyes.
Zhu Li, however, seemed relatively calm and introduced to Chen Shuo in a low voice: "It is said that this potion can improve human physique and enhance strength. I have witnessed with my own eyes that some people became extremely strong after drinking the potion and could punch with one punch. Breaking a hard rock, the speed becomes extremely agile, and the attack power skyrockets..."
Chen Shuo was silent, and a picture emerged in his mind. After drinking the potion, thousands of people were fighting and killing each other like crazy demons. It was bloody, cruel and shocking.
This scene was so shocking.
Chen Shuo feels that this is a great attempt. If it succeeds, mankind will be completely reborn. We will no longer need to fear zombies or worry about being eaten alive...
Such thoughts flashed through her mind, and then she regained consciousness and realized that she was not suitable to continue thinking.
After all, she still has professional ethics and responsibilities and cannot forget her original intention - to protect the women's base!
"alright!"
Seeing the fear gradually rising on everyone's faces, the officer responsible for managing order said solemnly: "According to the rules, you must first undergo the injection ceremony here."
After that, the officer called a soldier next to him to bring a pile of metal bottles and ten silver syringes.
"We only give you three hours."
The officer stared at Zhu Li and said coldly: "During this period, I will send someone to supervise her. If the injection is not successful, she will be directly disqualified."
"Okay, let's begin!"
As soon as the words fell, the soldier immediately walked over to Julie and motioned for her to lie down on the cold wooden bed.
Julie hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, slowly lying on the cold bed.
The soldier grabbed her ankle, slowly inserted the needle into her skin, and then pushed it forward.
Julie was in unbearable pain, her forehead was covered with fine sweat, and her pretty face was as pale as paper.
"Be patient, you'll be fine soon!"
The soldier said as he pushed, then the needle tip pierced the flesh and slowly pushed the potion in.
Julie clenched her teeth and endured the sharp pain in her heart. She held it back without making a sound.
"hiss……"
As the potion entered Julie's body, the soldier put away the needle and stepped aside.
"Um?"
Seeing Julie's pale face gradually turning rosy, and her originally pale lips turning red, the soldier was stunned and asked in surprise: "What's going on?"
Julie opened her eyes and looked at him doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
"You..." the soldier hesitated: "It seems that there have been changes..."
"What changes?"
"It seems that I have become stronger visibly!"
"ha?"
Hearing the soldier's words, Julie was slightly stunned, and quickly lowered her head and looked at her arms.
Indeed, a faint fluorescence appeared on the skin surface of various parts of her body. This fluorescence spread, and soon, the entire arms, half of the body, and half of the legs were covered with faint fluorescence.
Moreover, in the fluorescence, lines were faintly visible on Julie's body, which looked a bit strange and seemed to contain some mysterious rhythm.
"This is..." Julie murmured.
"I guess it's that mysterious potion that's working."
At this time, Chen Shuo leaned into Zhu Li's ear and said: "As far as I know, whenever human beings encounter danger, the body will produce some kind of self-protection mechanism. When encountering danger, it will release its potential and activate the potential in the human body. Increase strength and physique.”
Julie realized.
No wonder she felt full of strength just now. This feeling was so comfortable.
