Chapter 602 Temperature Rises

Wang Tao got good news and bad news respectively.

Good news: The wind and snow have stopped, the sun is out, and the temperatures are rising.

Bad news: All electronic devices are completely disabled. Even cars parked on the road and electronic devices buried in the soil cannot be used.

Wang Tao: "..."

It is great news that the wind and snow have stopped.

The current low temperature environment makes human survival very difficult. When the wind and snow stop, the sun comes out, and the temperature rises, the difficulty of human survival will be greatly reduced.

As for the paralysis of electronic equipment, everyone has actually expected it. They knew that one day, electronic equipment around the world would be completely unusable, but they didn't expect it to happen so soon. So, although this is bad news, it's not that bad...

"No! Isn't my information watch still fine..."

Wang Tao suddenly discovered that the brand new information watch he had just replaced a few days ago was still usable. There was also a message from Gu Yun on it. Wang Tao didn't have time to read it carefully. He also said that the wind and snow had stopped and electronic equipment was paralyzed.

"It seems that because of the barrier of the crystal energy poison tree, the electronic equipment inside the barrier is not affected, but all the equipment outside the barrier cannot be used..."

Ding Yuqin explained immediately.

"Can this still happen?"

Wang Tao was suddenly a little surprised.

He carefully read the message from Gu Yun, and it was indeed what he said. They had already done the test.

The barrier of the crystal energy poison tree can not only block low temperatures and wind and snow, but also block the mysterious energy that can damage electronic equipment... It's kind of awesome!

"Then are you in any danger?"

Wang Tao expressed concern.

"Don't worry, we took the Mutated Wild Goose this time and didn't drive. Even if our electronic devices are completely paralyzed, it won't have any impact on us..."

"Then please pay attention to your safety. I'll go out first to see what the situation is."

"Okay, be careful too!"

After ending the call with Ding Yuqin, the sound of brakes suddenly came from outside.

Wang Tao looked up and saw Qu Shilin walking quickly.

"Good morning!"

Wang Tao smiled and waved his hand.

Qu Shilin trotted over excitedly and said:

"Wang Tao, something big happened!"

Qu Shilin quickly told Wang Tao that the snowstorm had stopped and the electronic equipment was paralyzed. Although Wang Tao had already heard Ding Yuqin say it, he still listened patiently to Qu Shilin's words.

After explaining, Qu Shilin took a deep breath and said:

"Can you go out with me and have a look? I want to know what it's like outside!"

According to the regulations of Changhe Base, you need to apply to leave the base. Those with weak fighting ability cannot go out casually. Among them is Qu Shilin.

Although at Qu Shilin's level, theoretically he could come in and out at will. But talents like her are too important for Changhe Base, but her combat effectiveness is very weak... Therefore, the city hall does not allow such talents to go out alone without anyone accompanying them. This is also to protect her.

Of course, Qu Shilin originally cherished her life, and she would not run around if nothing happened.

Now that there were changes outside, she wanted to go see what was going on. Wang Tao happened to be at the base, and no one who went out with her was safe with Wang Tao. So after she woke up and learned the news, she ran to Wang Tao as soon as possible.

"No problem, but don't worry. Have you eaten in the morning?"

Wang Tao helped her smooth her hair, feeling that she had just woken up.

"not yet……"

"Then let's eat something first."

"Alright!"

Wang Tao also had breakfast here and got one for Qu Shilin.

After eating, Wang Tao called for the golden eagle and flew into the sky with Qu Shilin.

Nothing has changed in Changhe Base, everything is business as usual.

But when Wang Tao left the barrier, looked at the warm sun above his head, and felt the breeze, he instantly felt "warm".

Of course, it's not really warm. Even if the snow stops and the sun comes out, the temperature outside is still much lower than inside the base. It's just that Wang Tao has become accustomed to the low temperature outside, and the temperature suddenly rose a little, causing the sensation to be obvious. And the most important thing is that it feels really comfortable when the sun hits your face directly!

“So comfortable!”

Qu Shilin raised her head with her eyes closed and opened her arms to absorb the sunlight.

Sizzling——

But suddenly, there was a sizzling sound coming from both of them. When they lowered their heads, they saw that the information watch was smoking.

Wang Tao: "..."

Qu Shilin: "..."

"I forgot, you can't take this thing out..."

Wang Tao was a little embarrassed.

Qu Shilin took out several small instruments from the backpack she carried with her. These instruments were also smoking.

She was also very embarrassed and said:

"Uh... I also wanted to use these instruments to test it. I didn't think about it, so it was all wasted..."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

In any case, it is a good thing that the wind and snow have stopped and the temperature has risen. The loss of some electronic instruments does not have a big impact.

"I remember that you should be working on small crystal nucleation instruments, right?"

Wang Tao suddenly asked.

He had accidentally discovered before that the reason why these electronic instruments were damaged by mysterious forces was not a problem with the instruments themselves, but a problem with the electricity.

As long as there are no batteries in the instrument and it is not powered on, the instrument will not have any problems. So the Hope Institute is trying to find a way to make these instruments use crystal cores as energy. The energy in the crystal core is not electrical energy, and after testing, it is not affected by this mysterious energy. The Hope Institute is studying these things to prevent today's situation.

"I have been studying medicine recently and have paid too much attention to crystal energy. But before I came to you, I learned from my colleagues and heard that they have made some progress. It is estimated that we will soon see information watches that use crystal cores as energy!"

Qu Shilin replied.

Wang Tao nodded immediately: "That's good! Communication is still indispensable..."

When the two were talking, the golden eagle had landed on the snow outside the base.

Although the wind and snow stopped, the snow would not melt in a short time.

Wang Tao reached out and touched the ground, and felt that the snow was much warmer.

The two walked outside for a while, and because Qu Shilin's instruments were broken, they returned to the base. When Wang Tao sent Qu Shilin to the Hope Research Institute, Qu Shilin suddenly grabbed Wang Tao's hand.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Tao was a little curious when he saw Qu Shilin's hesitation.

"I want to ask you for a favor..."

"What favor?"

"I told you before that I have also been researching drugs to remove the zombie virus. I have made some progress in this regard, but due to the lack of samples of the 'Progenitor virus', my research has been stuck..."

"Let me go find the Progenitor virus..."

Wang Tao frowned.

It's not that he doesn't want to find it, but he can't find it.

It's been so long since the end of the world, and the zombie virus has mutated so many times, so how can the Progenitor virus be preserved.

"No, it's almost impossible to find the Progenitor virus. What I mean is, when the weather gets warmer, can you help me find some data similar to the Progenitor virus research data you gave me before? As long as I have enough data, I can understand the Progenitor virus, and maybe I can really create a zombie virus antidote!"

Qu Shilin looked at Wang Tao with shining eyes.

She has developed powerful things such as gene drugs and awakening drugs, and she is now full of confidence. If she can really get those data, she can't say that she can make zombie virus drugs 100%, but she can definitely make something useful for humans.

So she really wants the data of the ancestral virus now. Since Wang Tao can give her a copy, when the apocalypse breaks out, there must be people studying the zombie virus, that is, the ancestral virus, and maybe there are data preserved...

She talked about this with Wang Tao before. She said that if she got any news about the ancestral virus data, she would ask Wang Tao to go and take a look, and Wang Tao agreed.

But now so much time has passed, let alone the news of the ancestral virus, there is little news about humans. So it's not okay to sit and wait.

If it's still snowing heavily, she would be embarrassed to trouble Wang Tao, after all, the environment is too bad. But now the snow has stopped, the temperature has risen, and the sun has come out. It should be warm outside soon and suitable for survival. So she wants Wang Tao to help take the initiative to find out if there is any relevant information left.

"Okay, no problem. Anyway, I still have to go out later, so I'll help you find it then."

"Thank you! Mu Ma~"

Qu Shilin stood on tiptoe with a red face, kissed Wang Tao on the face, and then said:

"By the way, this is not a random search. I will give you maps of major research institutes, laboratories, hospitals and other places in the country. If there is really data left, it is likely to be here..."

"Okay."

Wang Tao smiled and nodded.

Then he followed Qu Shilin to the laboratory and got a detailed map. Qu Shilin had obviously prepared all this a long time ago.

Wang Tao looked at the map and found that there was a well-known laboratory in the next province.

"Next time you go out, go to this laboratory to search..."

Wang Tao touched his chin and said.

...

The news that the heavy snow stopped, the temperature rose, and the sun came out soon spread throughout the Changhe base.

In the past few days, the attention to the awakening potion was the highest, and everyone was discussing how to earn the contribution points that could be exchanged for a bottle of awakening potion as quickly as possible.

Now that the sun is out, the discussion about the environment has quickly become as popular as the awakening potion.

"Oh my god, I thought I was hallucinating, but the sun is really out! What a warm sun!"

In the square outside the city hall, someone stood in the sun and exclaimed.

His companion laughed.

"I thought this was the sun simulated by the base using high-tech means. I said it was simulated so realistically, but I didn't expect it to be real! Hahaha!"

"Woo woo woo - I finally saw the sun! Praise the sun!"

Some people cried with joy.

Of course, some people didn't forget the awakening potion.

"Doesn't this mean that we can go out and earn contribution points?"

You can also earn contribution points in the base, but it is too difficult to save enough contribution points to buy a bottle of awakening potion. You may not be able to save it in your lifetime. But if you go out to hunt zombies, search for supplies, etc., you may save enough in a few days if you are lucky. So if they have the ability, they will definitely choose to go out to earn contribution points.

"It seems so... We didn't dare to go out before, not because we were afraid of zombies. After all, we are also superpowers, so why should we be afraid of zombies! We just can't stay in that harsh low-temperature environment for too long. Now that the snow has stopped, the sun has come out, and the temperature has risen! It shouldn't be long before we can move around outside! By then, we will search for supplies, accumulate enough contribution points, exchange for a bottle of awakening potion, and directly reach the peak of life..."

Some people have already started dreaming.

"Although the temperature has risen, there are a lot of zombies outside? Isn't that also dangerous?"

Some people also poured cold water on it.

Then someone immediately retorted:

"Hey! You probably haven't paid much attention to the situation outside, right? Since the heavy snow fell, there are fewer and fewer zombies outside. A large number of zombies have been frozen. Only a few zombies have mutated into frozen zombies. It's not easy for us to encounter zombies outside!"

"Uh..." The man before raised his hand weakly, "You also said that the zombies outside are frozen. But now the heavy snow has stopped and the temperature has risen, then these zombies will definitely thaw, and there will be more zombies at that time!"

"..."

The few people who have been thinking about going out to earn contribution points were suddenly dumbfounded. This seems to be reasonable...

Someone was ready to refute that those frozen zombies might have frozen to death long ago, but he thought about it again and didn't believe it himself.

He had seen how strong the vitality of zombies was. Zombies with only one head left could survive. How could frozen zombies die?

Even if some zombies were really frozen to death, it was probably only a small part. Most zombies were still alive and well. When the snow outside melts, it will probably be like before the heavy snow, with zombies everywhere!

For ordinary superpowers like them, it seems that it is very dangerous whether it is snowing or not!

But if we really talk about danger, everyone generally thinks that low temperature is more dangerous. If you encounter zombies, at least you can resist and escape. But if you are frozen and hypothermic, there is no way to resist or escape, and you can only wait to die...

So many people secretly clenched their fists, they were waiting for news from the city hall. As long as the city hall announced that the temperature outside rose above zero, they could go out! But now all the electronic equipment outside is paralyzed, and the car can't be driven... We have to find a way to make some cars without any electronic products, purely mechanical structure! I heard that there are already factories researching, and it should be on the market soon...

Just when the people were rubbing their hands, Wang Tao on the other side also thought of this problem.

"Since the temperature has risen, these frozen zombies... should appear, right? Should we organize a zombie hunting operation before they are completely thawed? But there is a problem. No one knows where those zombies are frozen..."
