Zhou Ting is the vice-captain of the Kuangsha team. She is two years older than Xu Qiangsheng. The two grew up together and are teammates. They usually get along more like siblings.
As a fourth-level wood power user, Zhou Ting is the vice-captain and logistics officer of the Kuangsha team. This time she listened to Xu Qiangsheng’s words and took a large bag of crystal cores to buy the induction potion.
This induction drug has just appeared, and many people are still doubting its authenticity. Most people don't believe that such a thing exists, so there are quite a few people asking about it, but almost no people buying it.
"Do you think this is real?"
"I don't believe it, I think it must be a lie."
"Why?"
"Think about it, what can you use to attract zombies? Killing a cow or sheep can attract the attention of zombies, so why do you need to use potions? Isn't this unnecessary?"
"What you said makes sense, brother. It seems that the laboratory is actually selling this thing to make money."
"Isn't it..."
"Inhuman capitalist..."
...
When Zhou Ting came with the crystal core, what she saw was a scene like this. Many people were skeptical, and some even thought that this was a money-making scheme thought up by capitalists.
"How much does your potion cost?"
A steady female voice suddenly sounded in the trading hall.
"Is anyone really buying it?"
"Hmph~ I'm just saying, this prodigal bitch can't do anything."
"Shhh, please keep your voice down, she is the vice-captain of the Kuangsha Team..."
"Is it true? The vice-captain of Kuangsha Team is also such a spendthrift?"
"Shut up! Idiot, what can you say about Kuangsha Squadron?" One person quickly covered his brother's mouth, fearing that this unlucky thing would say some earth-shattering nonsense.
Zhou Ting could hear the discussion of these people. She snorted coldly, and then the discussion around her immediately became quiet.
One third-level crystal core is sold, with a minimum price of two. "
hiss--
There was a sound of inhalation all around, and Zhou Ting frowned: It's so expensive.
"What about the effect? How many zombies can one pill attract? How long does the effect last?" She didn't rush to argue about the price, but asked about the effect first.
"One low-level zombie at a time can attract up to 20,000 zombies in half an hour. As for the zombies above the mid-level, if you dare to attract them, you must be prepared to eliminate them all."
The seller was an old man who looked a little older. He was wearing a wrinkled white coat, his gray hair was messy, and he wore round-frame reading glasses on the bridge of his nose. He spoke very arrogantly, and there were a few words. It smells like a "mad scientist".
"I don't understand. What does this old man mean?"
"I don't understand either. Why do middle and high-level zombies have to be killed?"
"Yeah, just like low-level zombies, can't we just lure them away?"
...
After hearing this, the people watching the excitement suddenly became uneasy.
Zhou Ting lowered her eyes thoughtfully: I'm afraid the old man means that this inducer is too powerful. Even if the time is up, it can still leave a very deep impression on mid-to-high-level zombies, right?
The Zhongyi County they are going to this time has a population of hundreds of thousands. Excluding those who are locked up at home, there are at least 100,000 people outside.
If according to what the old man said, a potion can attract 20,000 zombies in half an hour, then 100,000 would require a lot of potion.
After taking a breath, Zhou Ting raised her eyes and took a deep look at the old man and said, "Give me six."
Six branches equals thirty third-level crystal nuclei!
The people around me gasped when they saw it. What is the concept of thirty third-order crystal nuclei? Many low-level teams have not even seen level 3 zombies until now.
The old man took a bag containing crystal cores, glanced at it casually, then turned around and took out a small silver suitcase from the metal cabinet behind him.
"As an opening bonus, the above will give you one for free."
As he spoke, he put seven potions into the suitcase, then threw in a thin instruction manual, turned the box, and pushed it towards Zhou Ting.
Zhou Ting took a look at the potions in the box. Each potion was as long as a finger, and seven of them were neatly arranged together. Through the transparent half of the bottle, you can see that the medicine inside is also transparent and colorless, just like water.
I looked through the instructions and it said that you need to press the pump head in advance before using it, and the active ingredients will merge with the transparent dissolving agent below to form a real zombie inducer. However, it is worth noting that the fused inducer is only effective for 24 hours. After this period, it will have no effect.
It is very simple to use. You only need to spray it on an organic object that can continuously emit heat, and it will have the effect of continuously attracting zombies. The effect radius is meters and the duration is half an hour.
"Organic objects that constantly emit heat?" Zhou Ting's eyes flashed when she saw these words.
She looked at the old man, "Organic objects refer to..."
Before he finished asking, the old man glared back: "Don't ask me, the usage is written in the instruction manual. As for the specific use and what to use, that is your business."
Seeing that the old man was obviously unwilling to clarify this issue, Zhou Ting remained silent.
But the instructions did describe it in detail. She closed the box, nodded to the old man and turned around to leave.
The Kuangsha team that got the potion left Ancheng base again that afternoon.
The advent of "zombie inducer" broke the year-long confrontation between humans and zombies.
Humans no longer have to be helpless in the face of large numbers of zombies as before. As long as it is done properly, humans can lead the gathered victims out of the town in batches and gradually eliminate them.
Perhaps this moment is the moment for human counterattack that Lin Qingqing has been waiting for.
The third laboratory is more than 60 kilometers away from Anseong base.
Tang Li looked livid and looked at the person in front of him: "What does Professor Zhu mean?"
"You can't leave just yet, the medicine this time is not stable enough..." Professor Zhu pushed up his glasses, not daring to look at Tang Li's face.
"I promised you that you would send me back when the zombie inducer comes out."
"And I remember that this is the third generation inducer. You said the same when we were studying the first two generations." Tang Li gritted his teeth and said, "If the potion is really not stable enough, do you dare to put it out?"
"Anyway, you can't leave, and there are no regulations from above to let you leave." Professor Zhu pursed his lips tightly, and this was the only thing he could say when faced with the questioning of the young man in front of him.
"Then what are you going to do to let me go? Wait until the end of the world? Or wait to research the next potion?" Tang Li's voice was not loud, but his words were full of sarcasm.
Professor Zhu was a little embarrassed when Tang Li revealed the truth. He opened his mouth, but couldn't find a suitable word for a long time.
He knew how much pain this young man endured for this research. Many times he thought he would not survive, but every time, he survived with amazing willpower.
"You can't leave!"
At this time, a group of people came in from outside, led by a thin old professor.
He looked at Tang Li with a serious expression: "Mr. Tang, do you know what time it is now? This is the end of the world, the biggest disaster in human history, and it may lead to genocide!"
He looked excited: "Now the country needs you, and all mankind needs you. Think about the compatriots outside, and then think about your relatives. Can you bear to watch them struggle in the water and fire?"
"The induction agent has been successfully developed, why do you still keep me?" Tang Li didn't want to look at him. He lowered his eyes, with a subtle tremor and hoarseness in his voice.
"We need your abilities."
"Haven't you already thoroughly studied my abilities?" Tang Li sneered.
He was too naive. He originally thought that these people would at least thank him after using him to develop the potion.
"Your ability is not that simple." The old professor stared at Tang Li with burning eyes, as if he wanted to cut him into six, seven, or eight hundred pieces.
This young man's superpowers were so special. What they originally valued was his ability to control zombies. They wanted to replicate this ability, but they couldn't do it no matter what.
Later, they discovered that this young man's ability also had a passive effect, which was to attract zombies.
So, they took a step back and started researching zombie attractants.
Tang Li originally wanted to ask the laboratory to help him get rid of this unfortunate passive effect on himself. But unexpectedly, in order to study attractants, they not only failed to eliminate this effect, but amplified it. Now whenever he appears outside, even if he is dozens of kilometers away, the zombies will smell him and catch up with him from a distance.
The zombies within dozens of kilometers around the Third Laboratory were cleared away for this reason.
"So you want to lock me in the laboratory forever? What if the research can't be done?"
"Impossible, as long as you actively cooperate..."
"Am I not cooperative enough?" Tang Li smiled sadly, "How else do you want me to cooperate?"
They took away everything that could be pumped and cut from his body, and they injected an unknown amount of experimental drugs into him every day.
In the past six months, various experiments have been carried out countless times, and they even tried to use his brain.
But how can superpowers be researched so easily?
"That's because your power is too special, but don't worry, we are already the most authoritative research institution in the world. As long as everyone works together, the end will eventually end in our hands." The old professor's voice was very powerful. The other researchers also smiled in agreement and excitement.
"Haha~ The most authoritative? The most powerful?"
Tang Li couldn't help laughing: "Where is the superpower chain? Have you found it? Have you clearly studied the conditions for the awakening of superpowers? Have you figured out why there are crystal nuclei in zombies' brains? ?」
"You...that's because there are not enough experimental subjects!"
The old professor's beard stood up in anger. The requirements for experimental subjects were very strict. Volunteers who were not truly willing were absolutely not allowed to be used for research. If the number of experimental subjects is large enough, their research progress will definitely not stagnate.
"What does that have to do with me? It was clearly written in the original agreement. I will cooperate with you in research, and you have to help me get rid of the passive ability to attract zombies."
Tang Li's eyes were bloodshot with excitement: "But what have you done now?"
