Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Dazhangshu headquarters base.

Military factory.

Tap tap tap~
"Manager Zhou." San'er, who was operating the equipment, saw Lao Zhou coming in and quickly greeted him.

Old Zhou nodded and said:
"San'er, starting tomorrow, we will open two more bullet production lines."

Zhao San was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Why do you want to increase the number suddenly? Don't we have a lot of bullets in stock before?"

Lao Zhou explained, "The situation has changed. I just finished a meeting with the minister and the city lord. They requested an increase in bullet production. The transport team will arrive in two days and will transport another 400 million bullets to the oil city."

"Hmm" Lao Zhou seemed to remember something.

"Let's also start the production line for small-caliber artillery shells. Forget about the large-caliber artillery ammunition production line, as it doesn't have the capacity for the time being."

Zhao San nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to everyone tomorrow."

He asked again: "Has the fighting started in Oil City?"

"not yet."

Lao Zhou sat on the chair, rubbed his shoulders and said:

"There's a new situation in the northwest. A group of intelligent zombies have appeared and are now heading towards the oil city."

inner city.

Li Yu was still looking at the latest score table of Oil City and Headquarters Base.

Judging from the report, the turnover points of the trading market have reached a new high.

Residents earn points on construction sites or by going out on missions, and then spend the points in the trading market.

The store pays a certain amount of tax points every month, forming a positive cycle.

It seems that the market-oriented economy of trading fairs can indeed promote economic growth.

On the other hand, at the headquarters base, since there are only official stores, the overall level of activity is far less than that of the trading market.

Moreover, there are relatively few stores, and both opening stores and operating and managing them require people.

Li Yu rubbed his brows and threw the report on the table.

“It’s also time to add some private shops to promote the market economy of the headquarters base.”

squeak~
The door was suddenly pushed open.

A small figure sneaked in stealthily.

When this little guy came in, he happened to meet Li Yu's eyes.

"Li Ping'an, what are you doing here?"

Li Pingan ran away, shouting, "My sister asked me to come in and get the game console."

This kid.
Li Yu smiled helplessly, got up and walked out.

Instead of looking for Li Keai, he went directly to the Zombie Research Institute at the Dazhangshu Base.

After the Judge and his team arrived in Oil City today, the helicopter team stationed in Oil City immediately dispatched a helicopter to deliver the bodies of the mutated wall-climbing zombies brought back by the Judge and his team to the headquarters base.

In the evening, Bai Jie and her team moved the corpse to the Zombie Research Institute for slice research.

The wall-climbing zombies can survive in an ultraviolet environment, posing a huge threat to the camphor tree forces, so this zombie corpse is of great significance to them.

If they could figure out why this zombie corpse mutated, they might be able to develop a weapon that could deal with this new type of wall-climbing zombie.

Just like when the wall-climbing zombies first appeared, everyone at the camphor tree base was in a panic.

However, through research at the Zombie Research Institute, it was discovered that wall-climbing zombies are afraid of ultraviolet rays, so they produced large quantities of ultraviolet lamps as a defense.

It's already eight o'clock in the evening.

It was getting dark and the street lamps were emitting a dim light.

A row of peanuts were planted on both sides of the aisle, and the peanut seedlings had already grown yellow flowers.

Peanuts usually bloom in June and July.

But in the warm south, it will bloom in April.

Li Yu was riding a small electric scooter on the main road. Some people on the road saw Li Yu and greeted him.

The gymnasium not far away was brightly lit, and some people were playing basketball inside.

The lights in the teaching building opposite the sports hall had already been turned off.

The lights were on in the library on the other side.

The three buildings at the Camphor Tree Base stand side by side.

Li Yu came to the downstairs of the Zombie Research Institute in the evening breeze.

There was only one researcher on duty at the front desk in the Zombie Research Institute lobby. Upon seeing Li Yu's sudden visit, he quickly stood up.

"City Lord, you are here."

"Where is your Dean Ma?" Li Yu asked.

The person on duty quickly said, "Dean Ma and Minister Bai, they are both in the laboratory on the second floor underground."

Li Yu nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. If you don't care about me, I'll go down by myself."

Bai Jie is the Minister of Science and Technology and He Bing is the Vice Minister.

The Ministry of Science and Technology has five research institutes (factories).

The director of the Zombie Research Institute is Madi.

The director of the Natural Disaster Research Institute is Song Zhihong.

Chemical Engineering Research Institute (Factory), the director is Kong Shuang.

The director of the Military Industry Research Institute (Factory) is Zhou Ran.

The director of the Electric Power Research Institute (Factory) is Dong Chengpeng.

These research institutes (factories) are distributed in the second and third outer cities and the inner and outer city walls.

Looking at the city lord's leaving back, the staff on duty scratched his head. The city lord always flashed around, catching people off guard.

From morning to night, it can appear anywhere at any time. The second underground floor.

After Li Yu used pupil recognition, he pushed open the door to the second underground floor.

Various kinds of zombies are imprisoned here, as well as their latest research project data and equipment. It is a very core place.

The development of zombie vaccines has never stopped over the years, but the research has been stuck at a critical juncture and cannot move forward.

To break through this key node, we still have to get that meteorite from outer space to break the deadlock.

So this is why Li Yu sent troops to the northwest.

As long as the vaccine is available, it will, at the very least, promote the development of the large camphor tree base.

To put it in a broader sense, humans launched a counterattack against zombies.

Because there is no need to worry about turning into a zombie after being bitten, based on this premise, the survival rate of humans facing zombies will be greatly improved.

When Li Yu walked to the door of the laboratory, he heard discussions coming from inside.

Madi's voice came from inside:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. According to the previous zombie mutation process, this mutation absolutely cannot be caused naturally. It must be caused by human intervention!"

Then another man said:
"But Oil City said there are at least hundreds of these zombies, and there may be even more that haven't been discovered. If it was human interference, how could so many different test subjects be produced in one go?"

"There is only one possibility. The large-scale and indiscriminate release of the drug will give rise to so many of these mutated wall-climbing zombies. But only a madman would do this!" Bai Jie said in a heavy tone.

"Isn't Ma Laoliu a lunatic?"

Listening to the discussion inside, Li Yu pushed the door open and entered.

The crowd, who were originally discussing intensely, suddenly stopped.

"City Lord."

"City Lord."

"City Lord."

Li Yu asked, "What did you find out?"

Bai Jie looked at Madi, and Madi answered:

"Based on current research, we suspect that the emergence of this mutant wall-climbing zombie is most likely caused by humans rather than natural evolution."

"In addition to the high amount of DI elements in this zombie's body, it actually produces gel molecules on its surface skin. This gel molecule can help the wall-climbing zombie resist ultraviolet rays."

It seemed as if he was afraid that Li Yu wouldn't understand.

Madi explained in plain language:
"Zombies hate sunlight because sunlight has ultraviolet rays, which kill bacteria and are not good for zombies. Zombies are rotting corpses with a large number of bacteria fused with DI elements. The more DI elements a zombie has, the stronger it is. The more bacteria on its body, the more it fears ultraviolet rays.

So, it's like burning your skin with fire."

"The current situation is that a layer of gel material has appeared on the epidermis of this zombie, preventing ultraviolet rays from directly shining on the body of the wall-climbing zombie. This has resulted in the wall-climbing zombie being no longer afraid of ultraviolet rays!"

"And this kind of gel can only be formed by human interference."

After listening for a while, Li Yu finally understood what they said. It made sense according to what they said.

Because the appearance of intelligent zombies now verifies their guess.

Behind all this, there must be a madman doing zombie experiments.

And achieved the path to make zombies stronger.

Bai Jie suddenly said:

"I think there is a possibility that the person behind the zombie army must be a researcher. He injected the immature vaccine into the human body, so that the brain remains conscious but the body turns into a zombie. This can actually be done in our base.
This would explain why zombies have intelligence.

Otherwise, it would be completely inexplicable how a zombie with a necrotic brain could be reversed and have its brain repaired.

So it must be that humans were first injected with the immature vaccine and then became intelligent zombies.

Instead of zombies evolving into intelligent zombies!"

"Correct."

As soon as Bai Jie finished speaking, Madi said to Li Yu:

"Minister Bai's guess is completely correct. In fact, our current research on vaccines can already achieve this. Although it has not been tested on humans, we have tested it on mice and monkeys and it can achieve this."

"But we found that injecting this immature vaccine has a huge flaw!"

"What defect?" Li Yu asked quickly.

"It can't last long!" Madi sighed.

"After the vaccine is injected, although it can protect the brain, the virus will continue to attack it. After the effect of the drug is exhausted, the virus will attack the brain again. It may take a week or even half a month before the virus destroys the brain and completely turns it into a zombie."

"So we need to keep injecting diluted vaccines to prolong the efficacy of the drug, so as to achieve the effect of continuous protection of the brain, but this vaccine has drug resistance, and the later it is used, the shorter the efficacy will be."

Li Yu touched the stubble on his chin, his brain working wildly.

"So, those intelligent zombies were transformed from humans?"

"Yes, that's absolutely right." Bai Jie and Madi answered in unison.

"Then why can they control zombies?" Li Yu asked again.

"Forehead"

Bai Jie said awkwardly:
"Testing on animals is different from testing on humans. We haven't tested immature vaccines on humans yet, so we don't know the situation very well."

Li Yu nodded gently and said, "Is there any way to crack this mutant wall-climbing zombie?"

Maddy said:

"We are still researching. We are now starting with the gel on their skin. We just got it this evening, so it will take some time, City Lord."

"Well, that's good. You continue your research and tell me any progress at any time!" Li Yu nodded.

Anyway, now we at least have a rough idea of ​​how those intelligent zombies were formed.

What Li Yu couldn't understand was how there could be such a madman who didn't want to be a good human being but instead became a zombie.

What is the picture?
