Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1989 Breaking News: Zombie Cure Successfully Developed!
My second uncle's report started at 8:10 a.m. and lasted for more than three hours.

When he finished speaking, it was already 11:40.

It was almost lunchtime, so Li Hang stepped forward to preside over the meal, telling everyone to go and eat and rest.

The meeting will continue at 2 PM.

The core purpose of this high-level headquarters meeting was to help everyone understand the current situation of the Dazhangshu base and determine its future development direction.

In summary: where we come from, where we are now, and where we are going in the future.

Unify our thinking and goals, and then formulate a plan.

Lunch break.

Those at the ministerial level or above on the stage left first, while those below the stage left in order of their seating.

Instead of dining at the inner or outer city restaurants, they had their food delivered to the lounge on the second floor of the main building.

These high-level meetings are information-dense and require focused attention.

Without proper rest, they cannot maintain a good mental state for listening and thinking.

After having dinner on the second floor of the main building, they rested here. The lounge here has reclining chairs where they could relax.

Dongfeng took a glass of water and sat down next to Chen Delong.

Chen Delong saw Dongfeng approaching and sat up from his recliner.

"Dongfeng, what's wrong?"

Dongfeng cracked his neck, took a sip of water, and said:

"It's nothing, it's just that it seems like our big camphor tree is developing faster and faster."

Chen Delong laughed and said, "Isn't rapid development a good thing?"

Dongfeng's eyes revealed concern: "Rapid development is indeed good, but..."

He recalled the survivor base he had established at Poyang Lake many years ago.

At that time, he recruited survivors and took in people, creating a survivor base with a scale of thousands of people in the Poyang Lake area.

However, as the population grows, they face various pressures related to management, food, and external zombies.

It was tough, but we persevered.

But in the end, the base completely collapsed in that wave of natural disasters.

He worried that after the base rapidly expanded and grew in size, its ability to resist natural disasters would not be as strong as before, which would lead to its collapse and disintegration.

"But what?" Chen Delong looked at Dongfeng. "Can you not just say half of what you mean?"

So Dongfeng told Chen Delong about his concerns, sighed, and continued:

“In the past, the development of the base was always steady and solid, with each step taken very firmly.”

"But right now, both the headquarters and the oil city are frantically absorbing survivors from outside, and the population is expanding rapidly. It is foreseeable that in the next few months, the population increase of the Great Camphor Tree faction will break new records."

"However, when I reported to the chairman today, I calculated a figure that, based on the current annual grain production, it can only feed a maximum of 600,000 to 700,000 people per year."

"I'm worried that we might not be able to support so many people, especially if there's a natural disaster in the second half of the year."

"Natural disasters are always followed by man-made disasters; human nature cannot withstand the test."

"After all, both the oil city and the headquarters base have now started selling and renting firearms."

Chen Delong understood his concerns, but he remained optimistic:

“What you’re considering, the city lord and the others will definitely consider as well.”

"Furthermore, you can bring up your ideas during the later part of the meeting when you're speaking up."

Dongfeng thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That makes sense. I'll take a nap; the meeting starts in an hour."

After saying that, he took off his shoes, lay down on the recliner, and closed his eyes.

Chen Delong slowly leaned down, and less than half a minute after he lay down, he heard snoring next to him.

"???"

Chen Delong was completely dumbfounded. A sleeping god? He fell asleep so fast!

in the afternoon.

The third high-level meeting of the Big Camphor Tree faction continued.

Li Hang walked onto the stage with the microphone and addressed the audience:

"Good afternoon, everyone. We will now continue with the conference."

"This afternoon, the leaders in charge of each sub-base will report on the specific situation of each sub-base."

"Next, please welcome Song Min, the outer city supervisor of the headquarters base, to report on the situation of the Dazhangshu headquarters base."

Bang bang bang bang~
A round of applause erupted.

A giant screen hung down on the right, and a projector in the center shone a beam of light.

Song Min spoke into the microphone, playing a PowerPoint presentation while explaining the situation at the headquarters base in Dazhangshu.

The combination of pictures and text effectively showcases the situation at the headquarters in Dazhangshu.

"Currently, four mines have been developed within a 100-kilometer radius of the headquarters base."

"This one is an iron and copper mine."

"This is a rare earth mine, only 40 kilometers from the headquarters, and we've also found a complete set of refining equipment."

“Zombies are cleared out every week around the headquarters base. The zombie threat here has decreased. There are very few zombies within a 30-kilometer radius of the headquarters base.”

"The development of the sustainable version of the helicopter is currently being accelerated. It is expected that the modification of all helicopters will be completed in another two months, at which time we will have 48 sustainable version helicopters."

"The headquarters base is promoting the reform of new energy electric vehicles. The reform is nearing completion. Electric vehicles cover more than 90% of the internal and external transportation within the base."

"As you can see, this is a solid-state battery developed by our military research institute. When installed in new energy electric vehicles, it can enable ordinary vehicles to achieve a range of 1500 to 2000 kilometers."

"Furthermore, we have mastered super-fast charging, which allows a vehicle to travel 1500 kilometers by charging to 80% in just 12 minutes using a charging station. And according to actual tests, the range is not significantly affected even in environments with temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius."

"It is expected to have a range of 2000 kilometers on a full charge."

Many of the people in the audience who came from the oil city were shocked when they heard this.

Many of them hadn't been back to the headquarters base in Dazhangshu for a long time, while others were visiting the headquarters base for the first time.

For example, people like Chen Er had never been to the headquarters before and had always dealt with the oil city.

"1500 kilometers? It can be charged to 80% in just 12 minutes, that's an exaggeration."

"Doesn't that mean that as long as it's fully charged, we can go directly from headquarters to the North? This...this..."

"We now have bases in Dazhangshu, Beijing, Oil City, and the Northwest. If Oriental Paradise in the east also develops, and all five locations promote new energy electric vehicles, they can basically replace gasoline vehicles!"

"This is absolutely terrifying! The level of scientific research here at headquarters is truly terrifying!"

"The scariest thing is that our electricity is almost free; it's all generated by zombies, and zombies are everywhere. That means our power source is practically limitless?"

Song Min then reported on the latest technological upgrades at the camphor tree base.

1. [V5 Intelligent Fully Automatic Adaptive Moving Switch]

No longer do we need to manually spot climbing zombies with the naked eye, as we did before.

It can intelligently monitor the wall in real time. Once a zombie climbs up, it will immediately activate the guillotine's movement mode. If no zombie climbs up, it will pause movement. This reduces power consumption and extends the life of the guillotine blade.

"2. [Adaptive Wearable Devices] The device uses biomimetic fiber clothing that can regulate temperature, protect against radiation, and can also use solar energy to power personal devices."

"Furthermore, according to the latest news from the Zombie Research Institute, we have now officially developed a zombie antidote!"

A single word can startle a thousand waves.

The entire venue was nearly overwhelmed by the gasps.

"What! Holy crap, a zombie cure?! They actually made this thing?!"

"Amazing! No wonder it's our great camphor tree!"

"This is going to change the entire world."

"Does this mean we'll never have to worry about zombies again? Holy crap, this is really amazing."

"This is a small step for the camphor tree base, but a giant leap for the world."

Previously, the Zombie Research Institute had already conducted animal testing and human trials, and the clinical trial of the zombie antidote has been officially announced as successful.

"Silence!" Li Hang promptly reminded everyone.

The crowd below the stage fell silent instantly, their eyes fixed on Song Min.

They wanted to know exactly what effects the zombie cure would have.

After everyone quieted down, Song Min continued:

"The zombie antidote, as the name suggests, is injected after being bitten by a zombie."

"It must be injected within six hours of being infected with the zombie virus; injections after this time will have no effect."

"In addition, the average success rate of injecting the zombie antidote is over 90%, but it does not guarantee that the person will recover to normal after 100% of the injections."

However, the sooner the antidote is injected after being bitten by a zombie, the higher the success rate. If the antidote is injected within one hour of being bitten by a zombie, the probability of recovery can reach 1%.

If bitten by a zombie for five to six hours, the success rate is only fifty percent.

"The antidote for zombies is currently in mass production. The first batch, about 2000 doses, is expected to be produced in about half a month and will then be delivered to various branch bases for use."

The judge sitting below the stage could not contain his excitement upon hearing the news.

Most of the people present were unaware of this beforehand.

Actually, the antidote for zombies was basically available more than a week ago.

But at that time, Li Yu felt that he needed to find a suitable time to tell everyone.

This is the best time to tell everyone, taking advantage of this high-level headquarters meeting.

Once they return to their respective branch bases, this message will naturally be passed on.

The successful development of the zombie antidote is of great significance.

The judge murmured:
"From this day forward, the battle between humans and zombies will be reversed!"

Old Qin nodded and said:
"Yes, after fighting zombies for so many years, we still haven't been able to solve the problem of being bitten by zombies, but now we've finally overcome it."

Those behind them erupted in jubilation after hearing Song Min explain the effects of the antidote.

"My God, it really came out! And the injection works within six hours, with a 100% success rate within one hour. If we take the antidote with us, it's like having an extra life!"

"The zombies have really become cute now, hahaha. I feel like the only thing left for them to do is generate electricity."

"Wow, our big camphor tree is amazing!"

"I just don't know when we'll be able to get it, and I'm worried it will be very expensive. Will we be able to afford it?"

"Isn't that obvious? The first batch has two thousand units. Others may not be able to use them, but we are at least at the battalion commander level. If we don't have any, then others certainly don't."

"Having an extra life, that saying is really true."

in the venue.

Some people burst into tears upon hearing the news.

"Qiu Feng, if only we had this antidote back then, you wouldn't have died, sob sob sob."

"Sigh, if only the antidote had come out sooner, what a pity."

The venue was in an uproar because the news was so explosive.

Humanity has suffered from zombies for far too long.

Zombies are constantly evolving and getting stronger; they become even stronger after each natural disaster.

In the early stages of the apocalypse, zombies walked at a speed similar to that of ordinary people.

But now there are speed-type zombies and strength-type zombies, whose strength is greater than that of humans.

Moreover, all sorts of strange zombies have appeared, such as wall-climbing zombies, screaming zombies, and high-jumping zombies.

Once the natural disaster was over, the number of these mutated zombies increased dramatically.

To this day, wall-climbing zombies remain the most hated and feared type of zombie.

Because these zombies are elusive and highly agile, they can appear from any direction at any time, making them impossible to defend against.

On the stage in the meeting hall.

Li Hang shouted several times, but the crowd below did not quiet down.

Li Yu personally tapped the microphone, gathered his energy, and said in a deep voice:
"I know how everyone feels, but the meeting must continue."

buzzing-

When the city lord spoke, everyone immediately fell silent.

Li Yu looked down at the people from the Zombie Research Institute and continued:
"The successful development of the zombie antidote is thanks to the experts at our Zombie Research Institute. We give them the warmest applause to thank them for their hard work and contributions."

After he finished speaking, he led the applause.

The crowd immediately burst into applause, looking at Bai Jie, Ma Di, and the others with admiration.

The zombie antidote they developed could save countless lives in the future.

Looking at the admiring gazes of the crowd below the stage, Bai Jie felt an overwhelming sense of pride and honor.

The Zombie Research Institute has been established for six years, and they have worked hard for six years.

Over the past six years, they have considered giving up countless times, but the city lord has always encouraged them to continue their research.

Now, it has finally been developed.

Ma Di and Zhao Ke, sitting in the audience, had rosy cheeks; they felt they had reached the most glorious moment of their lives.

In fact, Li Yu's idea was to commend them and give them rewards in front of everyone at a larger headquarters gathering.

But he had already gotten so emotional that he simply gave it a push.

The applause gradually subsided.

Song Min then continued her report on the situation at the camphor tree base.

However, given the overwhelming surprise of the zombie cure, what she said afterward seemed rather mundane and I couldn't really concentrate on it.

This is understandable, as the emergence of the zombie cure can be considered one of the major bombshell announcements from this conference.
