"Zhang Xu! Hold on to the labor force! Don't fall asleep!" Luo Guanghan roared, with a commanding tone. He tightened his grip on the bed, and his powerful strength was squeezed out of shape, but his tall back looked so weak.
Zhang Xu's appearance was a little scary. The blood vessels under his skin had turned blue and black, and all the blood vessels visible to the naked eye were filled with black blood. Without the forcible resistance of the Crystal of Hope, Zhang Xu would not be able to fight against this powerful toxin.
The small amount of medicine I took at the beginning was basically a drop in the bucket. After all, who would spare such a large amount of medicine when nothing happens. Cyanide is so powerful that it is too late to send people for treatment and they will die on the road.
The veins all over Zhang Xu's body were black and blue, symptoms of cyanosis caused by hypoxia abound, and his skin was frighteningly pale.
Yao Yuanyuan covered her mouth and didn't know what to say. As an outsider, Liu Qimeng looked at Zhang Xu indifferently and said, "What method did you use to relieve his toxins?"
After Liu Qimeng entered here, she did not immediately go to Fan Yucheng. Instead, she chatted with Huang Wenyu and others about the Tianshang Team. She was quite interested in these people. Why were some ordinary people's genes unlocked higher than hers and others?
The continuous questions made Li Guoyi on the side feel a little confused. Huang Wenyu, who was not an expert in chatting, answered them one by one. There may be exaggerations in them, but they were not too different from the facts.
After hearing these answers, Liu Qimeng felt even more pity for the Tianshang team's plight. She asked the people in the infirmary again, and Wu Ping also answered about their situation.
The rest of the Tianshang team only need to rest and rely on ordinary medicine and their own repair ability to recover.
Zhang Xu may enter a dangerous state at any time, and others can only watch. There is nothing that can be done. There are not many suitable drugs for this kind of medicine in the base. The base has already exhausted all options.
In fact, Zhang Xu originally had a way to save his life, but he never expected that fate would play tricks on people.
Sun Tianhao's brother, Sun Shuoyan, was originally infected with the zombie virus and was in critical condition. However, he owned a privately customized hibernation chamber that could put the human body into a frozen state and put the cells and viruses in the body into a dormant period.
In the current 23rd century, not everyone is qualified to experience cryonics technology, and its operating costs are extremely high.
After entering the hibernation chamber, people need deep-sea hydraulic water and other material assistance. Inside is a special kind of glass water and a large number of nanorobots. It will enter the lungs and the whole body along with the person's mouth to ensure that the pressure of the spacecraft at high speed is stable.
This kind of material is very expensive and not something ordinary people can afford. It is often used in the aerospace field and travels between Mars and the Earth.
The hibernation chamber will completely seal a person in liquid. The nanorobots inside will enter the body along with the liquid. Then with a moment of freezing, human cells, viruses and microorganisms will stop working and enter long-term dormancy.
Human viruses only fear that low temperatures will freeze the water in the body into ice crystals when they are dormant, and a large number of nanorobots can do these anti-locking tasks over and over again.
They protect the human body's vital signs, and also transport the nutrients needed by the human body to meet the requirements of long-term hibernation.
Sun Shuoyan woke up and became an evolver before Zhang Xu arrived at the Zhengzhou base. Zhang Xu did not install this bulky hibernation chamber into the quantum instrument.
Because he felt that his team were all evolvers and were not afraid of the zombie virus at all, so there was no need for it. It was better to use the extra space to store more supplies.
But Zhang Xu never imagined that one day he would need it, but no one knew what would happen in the future.
"Brother Xu has swallowed more than a hundred Hope Crystals one after another. He relied on them to get here..." Luo Guanghan's eyes were a little red and his voice was a little hoarse.
Liu Qimeng frowned. Swallowing the Crystal of Hope directly could indeed obtain abundant energy, continuously providing power to one's own cells and strengthening genes all the time.
Because of this, cell repair and toxin destruction will balance each other and reach a certain balance point. But once the energy of the cells is imbalanced, toxins will become rampant. No one or anyone can help him from the outside. Get through it.
But this kind of thing can only be thought about. They contain complex genetic codes, and they are diverse, including categories of different species, and they are differentiated in disorder.
Eating it is not just about absorbing energy, but also the cells converting the gene chains inside them. Originally, ordinary people would not be like this, but the virus in the crystal seemed to have a strong desire to fuse.
Even if the cells in the body do not agree, they will cooperate inside and outside to allow the virus in the evolver's body to agree. If it cannot bear it, the human body will eventually have the possibility of failure.
Crystal of Hope was the name given by Zhang Xu, and others also agreed with him.
"This is impossible, how can a person eat more than a hundred crystals and be fine!" Liu Qimeng blurted out, she absolutely did not believe in the so-called luck.
Experimental data has speculated that the evolver can possess genes from up to 23 different creatures. If it exceeds the limit, the user will only become a fallen zombie.
23 species is still the maximum limit that evolvers can endure, but no one can guarantee how many species they can survive.
At that time, someone was lucky and swallowed a few pills by mistake. After swallowing a few pills, he directly turned into a fallen person and killed everyone in the base. Fortunately, Ma Jin took action to solve the problem. It caused an uproar, but it was quickly covered up by the base.
Experiments have proven that the more powerful the evolvers, the weaker their endurance, because the genes in their bodies have been finalized and their abilities have long been proficient, and they cannot obtain various abilities as recklessly as they did at the beginning.
The probability of ordinary people fusing a Crystal of Hope is basically 100%, but it is not absolutely safe.
Not many people are willing to take this risk. After all, if ordinary people can get the Crystal of Hope, it is not as easy as getting the genetic potion.
In order to avoid this dangerous move and at the same time improve their combat effectiveness, more evolved people can only choose to start with genetic levels and weapons.
If leveling up was so easy, then who would worry about it?
Fan Hua also took a fancy to this, so he promoted customized weapons in the evolution department, which made many hunters look at it with envy, and finally joined in one after another.
The more people join, the more imitators will follow. As long as the interests are properly controlled, Fan Hua can truly own such a powerful evolution department and fundamentally disintegrate the stubborn people who were originally on Fan Yucheng's side.
"Brother Xu has done this before, and nothing happened to him." Yao Yuanyuan spoke, but her eyes looked at Zhang Xu.
"This is strange. It stands to reason that people who swallow crystals should have turned into zombies long ago. Is it because of the toxins in his body?" After thinking about it, Liu Qimeng couldn't explain this reason, so she could only put Zhang Xu's Only when blood or genes are used for experiments can the results be obtained.
If it was really caused by toxins, why wasn't the gene chain disrupted before?
It's not like Liu Qimeng has never thought about freezing Zhang Xu. Instant freezing can indeed preserve cell activity and inhibit the expansion of toxins, but small ice crystals will destroy cells in the body.
Cells can be repaired, but they need to wake up, along with those toxins. This is like when sleeping, you can only lie down and sleep, but you can't complete a series of locked tasks.
"If the Hope Crystal is really stable, I think there is a way to help him..." Liu Qimeng was somewhat meaningful. She immediately walked out of the room and went to collect the Hope Crystals everyone had on hand.
Liu Qimeng still believed Yao Yuanyuan's words, after all, it was easy for women to reach a consensus.
Fan Ling is very shrewd. When the zombie wave ended, the base seized a large number of Hope Crystals and gave them to Zhang Xu a hundred times. They also have a lot of them, which are used for research experiments, dilution into potions, and distribution. people below as a reward.
He has some rights, secretly obtained a lot of Hope Crystals, and transferred these things here in advance. This place is the temporary location set up by Fan Ling, of course, Cunning Rabbit Three Cave.
He also set up temporary strongholds in different directions near the base, where he placed a lot of food, weapons, medicine and other supplies.
Even though he was deep in the safety of the base, Fan Ling still had the habit of being paranoid about being persecuted, and tried to prepare enough things for emergencies.
But now they can't even get out of the base, let alone those.
Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and Fan Ling will not neglect them because of these small things. Every time he chooses a venue, he personally selects the venue and is very secretive.
Because of this, Fan Yucheng and others can live here for several days without basically worrying about food and water.
"Fan Ling, I'll lend you some of that... Crystal of Hope." Liu Qimeng originally had a straightforward personality, but she still couldn't say anything about borrowing something.
However, her tone remained firm, without any hint of discussion.
Fan Ling sat on a metal bench with his eyes averted. He also knew the value of these things and looked a little reluctant.
He had been bullied by this eldest sister since he was a child, and he knew that her tone was now unquestionable, so he asked out of habit: "Sister, how much do you want?"
"Everything... don't even think about hiding it. The top priority now is to revive Zhang Xu." Liu Qimeng stretched out her hand and asked him to bring over the collected Hope Crystals.
"It's useless to ask for so much. Does that Zhang Xu still want to swallow it alive?" Everyone knew that the side effects of the undiluted Crystal of Hope should not be ignored, so Fan Ling subconsciously asked.
Liu Qimeng glared at Fan Ling, her cold eyes seemed to make him feel like frost was forming around him. The biting cold made Fan Ling come back to his senses, only to realize that there was really solid ice all over his feet.
Fan Ling was a little speechless, but also a little helpless. He couldn't beat this old lady no matter what.
Although she usually gave in to herself, today her tone was unquestionable. Fan Ling finally took Liu Qimeng to a small room, opened a safe under the floor, and took out four large bottles filled with A crystal clear crystal of hope.
