Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2046 Hu Tian Dies, Nirvana Realm Collapses!
M City.

Grand Gateway 66.

Since Oil City posted warning advertisements in and around M City, most of the remaining survivors in M ​​City have fled the area.

The number of those who attained Nirvana did not continue to expand.

On the other hand, it's also because Hu Tian has reached a point where he can't even take care of himself.

Because he had not made much progress in researching ways to break the cycle of zombification, he was injecting himself with the slowing agent more and more frequently.

Finally, on this day, the delaying medicine lost its effect on him.

Grand Gateway 66, Basement Level 2.

Inside Hu Tian's research room.

His eyes were bloodshot, and the dead flesh on his face trembled violently.

Staring blankly at the equipment in front of him.

"Failed!"

"Failed again!"

Suddenly, a familiar pain shot through my brain.

He barely hesitated before picking up the prepared medicine from the table and injecting it into his neck.

His neck was covered with needle marks, indicating that he had received many injections recently.

The syringes used for injections are now three to four times larger than before, and contain several times the amount of medication.

He received three injections in one go.

But the pain in my brain did not lessen at all.

Anxious.

In a panic, he repeatedly jabbed the medicine on the table into his neck.

The ground was littered with empty syringes.

From once a month, to once a week, and then to once a day.

A few days ago, I had to get an injection every half day or every hour.

He has now received more than a dozen injections of delaying medication, but none of them have been able to relieve the excruciating pain in his brain.

Clearly, his body had developed resistance due to the excessive injections of the delaying agent.

At this point, injecting more delaying agents will be useless.

"No!" he roared, his head thrown back, the red in his eyes gradually being replaced by white.

His movements became increasingly mechanical and sluggish.

Even maintaining his footing became difficult for him.

thump!
He finally collapsed to the ground, onto the empty syringes.

His brain is being attacked by a zombie virus, like a tsunami.

He could clearly perceive that his consciousness was fading away.
His pain, mixed with resentment, caused him to roar like a wild beast.

"Hoohoho!"

He tried to get up to continue the injection, but he couldn't get up in the end.

outside the laboratory.

The Nirvana cultivators who heard the commotion inside had different expressions.

"Could something have happened to the leader inside? Should we go in and check?" suggested a half-human, half-corpse.

"Go in? Do you want to rush in like Zhang Sun and get torn in two by the leader?"

"Yes! The leader has given orders that none of us can go in without his summons. We should just wait obediently outside."

"But that voice just now... it sounded a lot like..."

"So what? He told us to wait outside, so we'll wait outside. You shouldn't go in either. If you go in and disrupt the leader's research, we'll all be punished!"

"That makes sense, everyone stay away from inside."

The Nirvana Beings, who had been eager to make their move, all dared not act.

Standing outside the laboratory, waiting for Hu Tian to come out.

Hu Tian has become extremely violent in the past two weeks due to the extremely unsuccessful progress of his research and development.

I recently killed four or five Nirvana Realm cultivators to vent my anger.

He dared not cause trouble for the oil city again, having failed to gain any advantage in the previous duel with the judge.

Earlier, he led an army of zombies to besiege the oil city, but that also failed.

Although he resented Oil City, he ultimately couldn't defeat them; they were simply too powerful.

It was so powerful that he dared not covet it.

Moreover, if they were to run to the oil city and be captured alive by the people there, their fate would be even worse.

So he then stayed in M ​​City, trying to find a way to solve the problem of being half-human and half-zombie—the problem of zombification.

However, the problem remains unresolved.

In the laboratory.

Hu Tian took one last look at the incandescent light bulb above his head; the excruciating pain in his brain made it difficult for him to even see the bulb clearly.

Finally, everything went black, and my eyes were filled with white.

His hand, which had been reaching towards the table, fell silent.

Half an hour later, it got up.

His eyes held no emotion whatsoever, only white.

Like a dog, it sniffed here and there, moving extremely fast.

It leaped onto the ceiling in a flash, hanging upside down and circling around the incandescent light bulb.

Suddenly, it moved like a spider, using all four limbs to crawl toward the door.

But the laboratory door was closed, and the zombie that Hu Tian had turned into had no intelligence and didn't know how to open it.

So the zombie began to roam the laboratory.

The Nirvana cultivators outside the door had been waiting for Hu Tian to come out.

One hour.

Two hours.

one day.

Two days.

They haven't come out for forty-eight hours.

Some of the Nirvana Reborn have reached the point where they need to be injected with the drug; otherwise, they may lose consciousness and turn into zombies.

"No, I have to go in. It's been two whole days. If I don't get the injection in at most an hour, I might..."

"Yes, the leader has never stayed out for this long before. Something must have happened. I need to go in too."

"Do as you please. If the leader gets angry later, you'll be responsible!"

Some Nirvana cultivators were still worried that Hu Tian would kill them, but a few had already reached the point where they would turn into zombies if they didn't receive the injection.

At this point, since death is inevitable either way, we might as well open the lab door and take a look.

Squeak.

One of the Nirvana Ones stepped forward and swung open the laboratory door.

The scene inside the laboratory left him speechless:

The floor was littered with empty medicine bottles, and the equipment and glass bottles on the table were also overturned.

The entire laboratory was filled with a strange smell.

"What about the leader?"

He looked around but couldn't find Hu Tian, ​​but he couldn't care less at that moment.

He rushed inside, rummaged through drawers and cabinets, found a vial of medicine, and injected it directly into his neck.

After the injection, he looked at the remaining few vials of delaying medication, quickly picked them up, and stuffed them into his pocket.

Hu Tian is missing, but these delaying drugs will allow him to live a few more days.

The other Nirvana cultivators who came in later also sought out slow-release elixirs.

But after searching for a long time, they only found three.

"How come there's so little delay-reducing medicine left? Zhao Fu, I just saw you take several. Give me one!"

Zhao Fu was the first Nirvana cultivator to enter, and he was walking out at that moment.

Hearing the voices behind him, he didn't answer; instead, he sped up and ran away.

"Grab him! The medicine is with him!"

Enraged at not getting the potion, the Nirvana cultivators ran off to chase after Zhao Fu.

Just then, a mutated wall-climbing zombie jumped down from the ceiling.

It moved extremely fast, darting out of the laboratory in a flash.

Several Nirvana beings observed closely.

"That's the leader. He's completely turned into a zombie?"

"We're doomed! Even the leader has turned into a zombie. We'll all turn into zombies eventually!"

"Follow up!"

Unexpectedly, the zombie that Hu Tian had transformed into was extremely fast. It ran out in a few seconds, and once outside, it even leaped onto the water pipes outside and disappeared into the darkness in a flash.

A Nirvana being attempted to control it by emitting short-frequency sound waves, but the zombie was unusual and refused to be controlled at all.

As the creator of the Nirvana Beings, Hu Tian injected his body with various enhancement drugs. It can be said that, in terms of physical attributes alone, he could easily defeat all other Nirvana Beings.

On the other hand.

More and more Nirvana practitioners are coming to understand the situation.

The leader has turned into a zombie, and only Hu Tian knows how to make the slow-release drug.

In other words, without the delaying agent, the longest a Nirvana survivor can survive is 7 days, and the shortest is only one hour before they might turn into a zombie.

So they scrambled for the remaining delaying agents. Every extra day they could live was precious.

Internal strife among the Nirvana cultivators erupted instantly.

These Nirvana beings all possessed exceptional physical strength, and they fought fiercely for survival in the dark underground.

The delay-release medication was their only way to survive.

This internal strife resulted in the deaths and injuries of one-third of the Nirvana Beings.

Several Nirvana beings escaped after obtaining the potion.

There were still some zombies chasing closely behind.

The remaining dozen or so Nirvana Beings stood outside the laboratory, unsure of what to do next.

They searched the laboratory for a long time, even turning it upside down, but still couldn't find any extra delaying agents.

"What should I do? My last injection was five days ago, and the next injection is probably in five days. I only have five days to live."

"I'm in an even worse situation; I only have three days left."

"That damned Hu Tian! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have become a half-human, half-corpse, and I wouldn't be like this!"

"Yeah, and he even said that those who have achieved Nirvana are the future of humanity. Bah! I didn't believe his nonsense. This isn't the future; it's a dead end!"

"Brother Song, you've always been smart. Tell me your idea, and I'll listen to you."

The Nirvana cultivator known as Brother Song was wearing a hooded jacket, and his entire face was covered by a scarf.

He suddenly raised his head, his fist clenching and then relaxing.

“Let’s go to the oil city. We saw that they had a way to restore people who were bitten. Maybe they have a way to solve our predicament.”

“But,” someone objected, “Hu Tian said back then that the Oil City wouldn’t help us, and besides, we are Nirvana Beings, while they are humans, naturally opposed to each other.”

"What if they're lying to us, and they're actually using us as test subjects?"

Brother Song gave a cold laugh, but there was a hint of regret in his laughter.

"So what if we're guinea pigs? Do we have any other options now?"

"You have three days left, and I have five days left. It's pretty much the same. In a few days, we'll all become walking corpses, no different from being dead!"

"Instead of doing that, we might as well go find the oil city!"

Some who attained Nirvana hesitated, but most of those who remained were tempted.

"I'll go with you to Brother Song's place!"

"I'll go as well."

"Perhaps those two Nirvana beings who were captured before have already returned to human form."

Brother Song didn't say a word, he just walked outside, ignoring what the other Nirvana cultivators thought.

Whether you follow him or not, he doesn't care.

Hu Tian became a complete zombie, and the Nirvana team instantly collapsed and became a thing of the past.

He had made up his mind to go to the oil city.

It is 800 kilometers from M City to the oil city.

Even for a Nirvana being with a powerful physique, traveling tirelessly day and night, it would still take 2 to 3 days to arrive.

Especially now that the weather is so hot, the strong sunlight during the day will greatly limit their speed.

So now that you've made up your mind, it's time to set off.

Otherwise, if they hesitate for a day or two before setting off, they won't even reach the oil city.

Four or five Nirvana Realm cultivators followed Brother Song without hesitation.

The other seven or eight Nirvana cultivators remained in place, hesitant, but after a moment of hesitation, four or five more followed.

The remaining two Nirvana Beings did not follow, but returned to the laboratory and continued searching.

The sun is shining brightly.

On the cracked highway, the asphalt softens and deforms.

Generally speaking.

The melting temperature of asphalt ranges from 60°C to 200°C.

The softening point of asphalt is usually between 45-65℃. It may soften but will not completely melt under high summer temperatures unless the temperature continues to exceed the softening point by 10-20℃.

The outdoor temperature is currently around 47℃, which is already at the temperature where the material softens and deforms.

The reason why some road surfaces are cracked is because the asphalt melted due to several previous extreme high-temperature weather events.

It melts, not softens.

Under a scorching sun of 47 degrees Celsius, not a single bird flew in the sky.

The leaves on both sides of the tree had fallen off due to the sun.

Foxtail grass lay on the ground, and only branches remained of the roadside trees.

The air was so thick it was visible.

On this highway built before the apocalypse, a large convoy traveled from west to east.

The tires made a sticky sound as they rolled over the asphalt road.

Zi La La ~
These vehicles all have specially treated, high-temperature resistant, and explosion-proof tires, making them less prone to blowouts.

All the windows in the convoy were tightly closed, and the air conditioning inside the vehicles was on.

The third transport convoy set off early, and by noon they had reached the border of Anhui Province.

When the convoy reached an open area, it suddenly stopped.

The surrounding area is flat, and the two sides were originally farmland.

The soil in the farmland was cracked, and the weeds that originally grew on it had withered and died.

With a wide field of vision, they can spot zombies in the distance at a glance.

Relatively safe location.

Guo Peng's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Stop the car for five minutes, get out and relieve yourself!"

"Everyone, don't run around!"

Upon hearing Guo Peng's voice, everyone in the group got out of the car one by one.

Before even leaving the highway, he stood up, unbuckled his belt, and started urinating.

They stood in a row, imposing and majestic, their figures fluttering in the wind.

Holding a small flying stick, the heat was intense.

The trickling stream sprayed onto the dry weeds by the roadside.

This scene surprised the support personnel who were traveling with the team to Oriental Paradise.

"Truly a display of power! Even urinating is done with such spirit!"

"I'm a girl, what should I do?"

"Men on the left, women on the right, you go to the right side, don't worry, no one will be watching."

A gentle stream, with rather large bubbles.

"Old Zhang, you seem to be suffering from internal heat lately; your skin looks so yellow."

"Would you like to try some? I've already had dessert."

"Go to hell!"

"Hey hey hey? You peed on my shoe, you son of a bitch!"

"Holy shit!"

The two started hurling insults at each other.

The team leader came over to mediate the fight, saying:

"Garlic birds, garlic birds, none of them wear swimsuits."

Unexpectedly, he slipped and fell onto the withered grass where the two of them had just urinated.

"Grass!"

The team leader shouted angrily, "You two, come here! I'm going to fuck you!"

Five minutes passed quickly.

Five minutes later, everyone got into the car on time and started the vehicle.

Zhang Shi and the others who were supporting Oriental Paradise sat in the back of a truck, which had no air conditioning.

Air conditioning is only available at the front of the vehicle.

Along the way, although the carriage doors were left open, only one lock was engaged.
But I still can't stand the heat!

The supporters on the bus were all complaining bitterly.

The metal carriages felt like saunas under the sun.

It's even hotter than standing directly in the sun.

All they could do was keep pouring water on themselves, drinking water, and fanning themselves to relieve the discomfort.

Fortunately, there was plenty of water in the convoy.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have signed up for the support program. If it weren't for these points... Damn it, what a mess! The infrastructure at Oriental Paradise is practically nonexistent."

"Once we get there, the infrastructure work will still be done under the scorching sun, and there's no air conditioning at night. Just thinking about it makes me feel miserable."

"You still have a choice, but I had absolutely no choice. The higher-ups specifically requested me to go!"

What kind of job do you do?

"Who are you, a maintenance and repair technician for intelligent mobile switchgear?"

"I was working as a mid-level worker, thinking I could be promoted to senior worker over there, but now it seems better to stay in the oil city as a mid-level worker. I heard there's nothing there."

"Sigh, it's really hot today. It's so comfortable staying in the oil city. After work, I can go for a scrub, enjoy the air conditioning, and get a massage."

"Yeah, your job repairing and maintaining switches is definitely a leisurely one. I'm so envious. By the way, how did you get in?"

“I used to work in mechanical repair and maintenance. The switchgear has a very simple structure and is not difficult to repair and maintain.”

"very nice."
