The good news is that Liu Yuan woke up and all the skin on his body has recovered. Zhao Yi's wounds recovered in time. As long as there is enough time, he will be intact as before.
Sima Shuoyu and others looked nervous, as if there was a battle that was yet to come waiting for them, and as ordinary people, they could only be caught in the middle, unable to move forward.
Zhang Xu immediately swallowed dozens more Hope Crystals. His actions attracted a lot of attention. After all, no one dared to try this kind of suicide, but it seemed as if it would never happen to him.
A large amount of energy once again pushed the gene forward, directly rising from 16.33 to 16.71.
A large bottle was poured into Zhang Xu's mouth. Now he only had less than a hundred crystals of hope. Zhang Xu's condition also became better. He was a little hazy at first, but his consciousness finally became clearer.
"Liu Yuan, there is a worm in your head, it is about this long..." Zhang Xufu gestured with a smile, as if he was joking.
"Brother Xu, I dare not make such a joke until I recover soon." Liu Yuan smiled and scratched the back of his head.
But immediately, Zhang Xu looked solemn and stared at him.
These expressions made Liu Yuan's smile gradually fade, and his eyes became a little complicated. He knew that Zhang Xu was not joking.
"Really... is there really such a big worm?" Before he finished speaking, Liu Yuan pointed to his head, who nodded, and then Zhang Xu sighed.
"I tried, but I couldn't get it out." Zhang Xu nodded and talked about the lurking parasite.
It can be sensed by the person who applies it, and it also means that Liu Yuan can only reveal his position by following them.
"I am also sure whether the craniotomy will be successful, in case it becomes aggressive and damages the brain..." At this point, Zhang Xu paused.
If the parasite stays somewhere else, the sub-individuals can tear it apart. Whether it is zombies, mutated creatures, or evolved beings, the brain is always the top priority.
The brain is a special organ. Even if evolutionaries have amazing resilience, this place cannot be damaged. Cells rely on the instructions issued by the brain to make changes.
Liu Yuan stood up with a deep look in his eyes. He was silent for a long time and said, "How about I leave you separately, so that I can attract the attention of those people..."
Liu Yuan smiled and pointed at his head, but there was a hint of loss in his eyes.
Zhang Xu also pondered for a while, his brain spinning rapidly, trying to find a way to save Liu Yuan.
He knew that once Liu Yuan made a decision, he would stand up no matter whether things were good or bad.
"Yes!" Zhang Xu suddenly thought of a way and immediately stopped Liu Yuan.
…
On the other side, Joseph changed into a clean white shirt and walked slowly over. Gray Worm came towards him. When he saw him, he put his right palm on his left shoulder and bowed slightly.
"What's wrong with Gray Worm?" Joseph knew that he would not disturb him at will when nothing happened. It was precisely because of this that Joseph chose him as his assistant.
"Report, the insect sensor I parasitized in that person's body suddenly failed."
Joseph frowned. The failure meant that he could no longer sense the person's position. If the distance between the two parties was far, it would be ineffective against Gray Worm, but his perception could not disappear instantly.
There will always be a gradually weakening induction process. Even if the host dies but the bugs in the body are not dead, the gray worm can still sense it. If the parasite is killed or removed, the gray worm can still sense it.
Zhang Xu is also aware of this, but his offspring are not as good as this kind of parasite. Among other people's lower-level insects, their offspring are at most cells containing self-awareness.
Distance is the biggest enemy of these evolvers. The way Zhang Xu thought of was to bring Liu Yuan into the quantum instrument. This method was summarized from Sun Shuoyan.
Liu Yuan is in a different space. Even evolvers of the same level as Zhang Xu cannot sense it, let alone Gray Worm, which is not even level ten.
It is easy to solve this hidden danger. Of course, this is only temporary. Liu Yuan, who has more than ten levels of combat power, cannot use it and can only stay in the quantum device, which is really troublesome.
"Did they discover parasites?" Joseph rubbed his chin. He had read the list of escapees several times. Neither evolved people nor ordinary people could have the ability to be parasitic.
Joseph could only attribute these to the new evolvers. Fan Yucheng had a batch of Hope Crystals in his hands, and he knew it.
Carrying so many crystals, and followed by several ace teams, these ordinary people can gain abilities by taking them directly. After all, this is a hidden life-and-death battle, and they would rather risk their lives to protect Fan Yucheng.
It's just that the probability of danger is higher, but the probability of ordinary people getting sick after absorbing one is still a little smaller. This is what Joseph learned from the headquarters, and he will not tell this secret.
Zhang Xu still had nearly a hundred Hope Crystals in his hand. Fan Yucheng was also generous and gave them all to the Tianshang Team. Fan Ling was still a little distressed. After all, he collected and purchased them all. This kind of crystal is an important strategic material. .
As for the explanation for Liu Yuan's disappearance, Zhang Xu also passed it vaguely. The quantum instrument was still placed with Yao Yuanyuan. There was no doubt about the relationship between the two. Unless it was necessary to go out, it would not be too late to get it back.
If the location here has been exposed, there must be many evolutionists outside waiting to give people like themselves a blow.
In addition, the two people who have lost contact are fools who know what to do. Zhang Xu thought the same way. Sitting back and waiting for death was not his style.
Immediately give one of the Hope Crystals on hand to Sima Shuoyu and others, and then use his own blood to indirectly absorb excess abilities for them to prevent them from turning into corpses.
As long as the energy is within their tolerance, they can become evolutionaries.
The ace team, they are the elites among the elites selected from the ordinary soldiers in the base. Their physical fitness is ridiculously high. It is not an energy that ordinary people can bear. In their opinion, they can still grit their teeth and get through.
Soon, batches of evolvers were born like an assembly line.
Usually, the energy contained in a bottle of gene potion is one-third or one-half of the original Crystal of Hope. After becoming an evolver, the gene unlocking level is only about 1.2, which is low in strength, but far superior to ordinary people.
They can only bully the weak and fear the strong, and dominate in the eyes of ordinary survivors.
In the Sima Shuoyu team that Zhang Xu knew, the worst gene unlock was level 1.62. Even if they didn't use abilities, they could still fight with the level 3 hunters outside just by relying on their fighting skills and awareness.
Moreover, what their team knows best is teamwork, which is worthy of admiration no matter where they are in the apocalypse. After all, humans are social creatures, and cooperation is the way to maximize combat effectiveness.
As the captain, Sima Shuoyu jumped directly to level 2.14. His ability is the all-round ossicle. As long as he has bones, he can grow quickly and change his shape according to his own needs.
So not only can he generate sharp bone spurs and bone awls, he can also generate bone armor, which is envied by many people, including Ma Jin who also ridicules this ability.
Since the origin of this batch of Hope Crystals is from the zombie tide, the abilities of zombies are relatively simple, but they are all suitable for human combat.
Take Shi Tong, humans used to walk on land, but suddenly they had wings to fly. It was difficult for people to get used to the sudden change in the way of fighting.
As for the abilities of other creatures, many people have to ponder their own abilities. The time it takes to adapt depends on the person's understanding.
…
"I hope that during the battle, everyone will have a chance to survive." Zhang Xu glanced at the dozens of newly evolved people and said seriously.
They don't have much joy in becoming evolved beings, and they face a more severe battle.
"Okay, everyone will familiarize themselves with their own abilities, so that your cooperation can become better." Zhang Xu waved his hand, and then walked out of the room to discuss countermeasures with Ma Jin and other advanced evolvers.
This laboratory was originally hidden by Fan Ling. Now only he has the authority to open it. Others cannot open it from the outside. They can only let the people inside confirm that the door is opened before letting them in.
Not long ago, Fan Ling and the others discovered the two missing people, but he stood in front of the screen in the control room and delayed pressing the command to open the door.
Because the two people who were out were standing blankly in front of the hidden door of the laboratory, with expressions on their faces, like two lifeless statues, they always looked so weird.
Fan Ling immediately called other people to discuss it. Yao Yuanyuan and Luo Guanghan of the Tianshang team had certainly seen this before, and they insisted that these two people had been controlled.
If a dead person can control it, it might not be difficult for a living person.
If they could really be allowed in, relying on Gray Worm's control and Fan Hua's system, using a computer to insert viruses from the inside would be enough to break open the gate of this small laboratory.
Apparently, the plan was discovered and shut out.
They stood motionless at the door for more than half an hour. Generally, this situation was impossible. The only guess was that the people inside had discovered something fishy.
Gray Worm sighed. After all, this kind of controlling person is not as lifelike as a normal person, and it is inevitable that he will be discovered by careful people.
The two unconscious people became useless. The gray worm strangled them, and then two long gray worms crawled out from their limp bodies.
Everyone looked at this picture, and cold air ran from their toes to their whole body. However, the Tianshang team who had seen the picture turned their heads away and did not watch it.
Zhang Xu stared at the picture without saying anything. Everything around him became silent and cold.
"There are no large-scale construction equipment in this place, and they can't break it!" After a while, Fan Ling said confidently.
If this is the case, all they can do to open this place is blasting or digging.
It wouldn't matter if this was outside the base, but this is inside the base, and it's close to the bottom of the load-bearing wall.
If it is destroyed, at least one-third of the city wall will collapse, and the repair work will take a long time.
This is also the reason for Fan Ling's confidence. He was one of the people who participated in the construction of the base, and this was intentional.
The base cannot bear to be destroyed again. Unless he, Fan Hua, doesn't want this base, the most likely thing he can do is wait outside and wait for the people inside to seek their own death.
Food and water are the biggest problems. Of course he can afford them, and the surroundings are very solid. It is basically impossible to dig them out. Zhang Xu is also poisoned, making it difficult to fight. The loss of ability is a big problem for him. It aggravates the injury.
Ma Jin's injury has also improved slightly, and he is unable to participate in the fierce battle. Those who can participate in the battle cannot be the same as before. Even if they can be dug out, the base can send helicopter groups and convoys to conduct a comprehensive search.
In this kind of era war, if you want to completely evade detection equipment, you need a lot of special equipment to do it. It is almost impossible with just a group of evolvers, and there are also a large number of ordinary people among them.
The slowness of their movements meant that they were destined to not be able to run far. There was a chance of death if they swallowed the Crystal of Hope. They did not dare to risk it to Fan Yucheng and other senior officials and scientific researchers.
How dare people like Fan Ling and others who know the inside story dare to inject this kind of cheap genetic medicine? Country Z had a biological transformation project long before the end of the world. After injection, ordinary people's combat effectiveness is no worse than that of evolutionaries within level 10.
Crystal of Hope certainly has room for improvement, but its essence is that the virus gives people super abilities.
If someone obtains the zombie virus serum in the future, the evolved person may become less powerful.
Even if it doesn't regress their abilities, it can make them so weak that they can't mobilize the virus in their bodies and become prey for anyone to slaughter.
Fan Ling and others had known about it for a long time, so they had not injected the genetic medicine for a long time, but the things before them forced them to take the Crystal of Hope.
Fan Yucheng, Fan Ling and others are already physically different from ordinary people, but they have not yet unlocked their genes. This can only mean that the highest achievements in genetics in the current neighborhood of country Z are not as good as this unknown zombie virus.
This virus can directly act on the genes in cells and fundamentally change their shape. Unlike external stimulation or replacement, this powerful ability cannot be achieved by humans.
Now, scientific researchers including Wu Ping have become evolvers. They are no longer simple ordinary people.
Those with powerful superpowers are reflected in them, which makes many people happy.
Even though the war was imminent, they didn't feel uneasy. Zhang Xu and Yao Yuanyuan looked at these people and really envied them.
