Chapter 608 Biochemical Virus
No one dares to guarantee whether there is any "Progenitor virus research data" preserved in the world. Even Qu Shilin can only guess that there may be some, or she hopes there is.
After all, the condition of "researching the Progenitor virus" is too harsh - only the relevant data on the research of the zombie virus in the days when the virus just broke out can be regarded as the research data of the Progenitor virus. After that, the zombie virus began to mutate, and the Progenitor virus no longer exists.
Qu Shilin herself does not have the research data of the Progenitor virus. She just inferred that there might be such a thing preserved. If Wang Tao had not given her a copy of the Progenitor virus data before, she would not have known that her inference was correct, and there really was research data on the Progenitor virus preserved.
But that piece of information alone is far from enough. Qu Shilin needs more information. This is related to whether the antidote for the zombie virus can be researched.
So even if Wang Tao knew that the possibility of finding such information was relatively low, he was still willing to give it a try.
But what Wang Tao did not expect was that he found a research data on the Progenitor virus when he arrived at the first target? This is too simple!
Wang Tao took another closer look. He didn't know what material the document was made of. It felt like paper, but it was very tough and could not be torn apart without some effort. It was also waterproof... This material was obviously used to store important information.
On the first page of the document, there were a few big words - a research report on the zombie virus.
When he opened the contents, there were many Chinese characters, pictures, symbols, etc. Except for some Chinese characters, he couldn't understand the others. Even in Chinese characters, there were many professional terms that Wang Tao couldn't understand.
There was a date under each page. It could be seen that it was recorded from April 4, 4004, the day when the zombie virus broke out.
Then Wang Tao could now confirm that this was indeed the research data on the ancestral virus he was looking for.
He quickly told everyone the good news, and then took out a treasure chest from the storage space.
Wang Tao couldn't put things without names into the storage space. But he had found some treasure chests in the cracks before.
These treasure chests all had names, and there seemed to be a compressed space inside the treasure chests that could hold a lot of things.
If you put something in the treasure chest, you can put the treasure chest and the things inside into the storage space. So Wang Tao would put some important things, or food, into the treasure chest first, and then into the storage space.
After putting away the information about the ancestral virus, Wang Tao took down the body that was hanging.
The man was wearing a white coat of a researcher, but his body had become a mummy. There was a work card hanging around his neck with the words "Researcher Wang Jing" written on it.
"He didn't turn into a zombie, he was hanged to death..."
Wang Tao touched the body and found a small book, which seemed to be a diary.
He immediately began to look through it.
This researcher Wang Jing did hang himself. However, he was not infected with the zombie virus, but because he was trapped inside, but the food was gone, and there were zombies outside, so he couldn't go out to find food.
In the end, under the state of hunger and fear, he chose to commit suicide.
He saved the electronic and paper versions of his research results on the zombie virus from the beginning of the apocalypse until he was ready to commit suicide. The electronic version is in the computer of the institute, without a password. The paper version is right under his feet.
Wang Tao took a look at the computers in this laboratory, and as he expected, they were all burned by that mysterious energy.
This made Wang Tao sigh and feel fortunate.
"I believe Qu Shilin will not disappoint Wang Jing's hope... Fortunately, the paper version was saved, otherwise it would be a big loss!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
At this time, Han Rui, who was still reading the diary, suddenly said:
"Wang Jing's diary said that he had a female colleague who mutated and was locked up by him and became his research object. But he has never been able to get out, and the door of the laboratory has never been opened... So, where is his mutated colleague locked up?"
Hearing this, everyone frowned, and before they had time to speak, they heard some sounds coming from their feet.
Dong, Dong, Dong...
Boom——
The laboratory suddenly shook, and a large number of cracks appeared on the ground, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
Everyone was on high alert. In the blink of an eye, a thin figure wearing rags emerged from the crack and appeared crookedly in front of everyone.
[HP: 500000/500000]
[Mana: 500000/500000]
[Level: Sixth-level Lord]
[Awakening: Fusion Virus]
[Fusion Virus: Attack with Toxin Effect]
"Sixth-level Lord? Is this the female researcher Wang Jing mentioned?"
Seeing this thin zombie, everyone was very surprised.
Didn't the diary say that this researcher was locked up by him? If he was locked up, there should be no way to improve his strength, right? It should still be a first-level zombie, how could it become a sixth-level lord zombie?
After Wang Tao took a look at the awakening ability of this zombie, he seemed to have thought of something and immediately turned to the end of the diary.
The diary only said that Wang Jing locked this female colleague in the warehouse at the bottom of the laboratory, where there were many biochemical materials in addition to the female colleague.
"It seems that this zombie should have mutated together with various biochemical materials below, so that it can become a sixth-level lord..."
Wang Tao touched his chin and explained.
"I see……"
No one was nervous, it was just a sixth-level lord. Without Wang Tao, they might have to work hard, but with Wang Tao here, they would have to handle it easily.
But what was surprising was that after the zombie came out, it did not actively attack them. Instead, it twisted its body and walked towards Wang Jing's body.
"Ho...ho..."
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.
What is going on?
This was the first time they encountered such a situation where zombies directly ignored them.
"Is it possible that there is a story between this female researcher and Wang Jing?"
"Are the two lovers? Or even husband and wife?"
"Is this zombie still retaining some of its consciousness? Is there any lingering feelings?"
Because the sense of security brought by Wang Tao was too strong, everyone did not feel any threat from this zombie, so they instantly turned into a crowd. Everyone is speculating about the relationship between Wang Jing and this zombie during his lifetime.
Wang Tao also found it interesting, so he didn't take action immediately.
If zombies really retain their consciousness and even have residual emotions, then this would be a big discovery! It is of great research value.
So, everyone just watched the zombie walk up to Wang Jing's body. Then, with everyone's expressions of curiosity, the zombie hugged Wang Jing's body, and then - the female zombie's mouth opened in a terrifying way. With a huge force, he bit Wang Jing's corpse fiercely.
Click, click, click——
After a few mouthfuls, Wang Jing's body was completely swallowed by the female zombie.
"..."
Everyone was a little dumbfounded.
Is this how zombies express their love? Is it a bit explosive?
But at this moment, Wang Tao suddenly focused his eyes.
The body of this female zombie suddenly began to swell, and its blood volume and mana volume also began to increase.
"...It seems to have evolved."
In the blink of an eye, the female zombie's body grew a lot taller, about 1.8 meters tall, but she was still very thin, so her arms and legs looked particularly long. At the same time, its properties have also undergone tremendous changes.
[HP: 1000000/1000000]
[Mana amount: 0/0]
[Level: Level 6·Disaster]
[Disaster Awakening: Biochemical Virus]
[Biochemical virus: It carries a large number of biochemical viruses]
"Good guy, I've been promoted to the sixth level of disaster level! Is this how you get promoted to disaster level?"
Wang Tao was surprised. This was the first time he saw with his own eyes how a disaster-level zombie was born. Can you get promoted by eating an ordinary corpse? Are these special corpses or zombies? What is their relationship? This makes Wang Tao very puzzled...
However, although the zombies had been promoted to the sixth level of disaster, Wang Tao did not feel any fear, but was actually very happy. After all, the items dropped by the disaster level are much better than those dropped by the lord level! Wang Tao hopes to encounter level six disaster-level zombies.
At this time, everyone felt weak all over and began to lose blood continuously. And not only were they losing blood, they were also experiencing states such as "poisoning", "weakness", and "burning".
The awakening of this [Biochemical Virus] disaster will not only cause people to continue to lose blood, but also cause some negative states!
"This zombie has evolved to the sixth level of disaster level. Let's retreat first! Stay away, otherwise we won't be able to withstand the disaster level awakening."
The damage caused by disaster awakening is related to the level. A fifth-level awakener cannot withstand a sixth-level disaster awakening for long and must stay away.
"good!"
Everyone had no ink marks and ran outside immediately.
The space in the laboratory is not large. In such a small space, it is obviously not suitable for fighting against disaster-level creatures.
roar--
Seeing Wang Tao and his group running away, the Disaster Zombie roared and immediately chased after them.
boom--
Wang Tao directly destroyed the ceiling and penetrated to the ground. Everyone quickly got out of here one after another.
The disaster zombie also followed closely along the hole made by Wang Tao.
After arriving on the ground, everyone immediately dispersed, with only Wang Tao guarding the entrance of the cave. Lin Meng quickly applied treatment to Wang Tao. This was not to increase Wang Tao's health, but to increase his blessing status.
When the disaster zombies came out, Wang Tao, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately slashed them with a knife.
Bang!
【-22842】
[Curse: Bleeding]
This knife seemed to have struck the steel plate, causing Wang Tao's hand to feel numb, but the damage was quite good. He killed the disaster zombie with more than 20,000 blood in one blow.
Being attacked by Wang Tao, the disaster zombie was obviously very angry. It roared angrily and grabbed Wang Tao with its two slender arms.
Even though it is very thin, it is a real sixth-order disaster level. Wang Tao is naturally unwilling to resist this blow if he can avoid it.
Whoosh——
Wang Tao quickly retreated and avoided the attack of the disaster zombies.
At the same time, two green rays of light fell on him, making his blood volume awakened by the disaster return to full again, and at the same time, another blessing state appeared on Wang Tao.
It's different with a wet nurse, let alone two wet nurses! As long as Wang Tao can resist the attack of the disaster zombies, Lan Yulian and Lin Meng can frantically add blood to Wang Tao to ensure that Wang Tao's blood volume is always full!
"roar!"
The disaster zombie roared, and finally climbed out of the cave, then raised its long legs and appeared in front of Wang Tao in the blink of an eye.
"Such a fast speed!"
Wang Tao was a little surprised, but he was not panicked. He directly raised his big knife and blocked the attack of the disaster zombie.
However, the speed of the disaster zombie's arm swinging was also very fast, like a hot wheel. Wang Tao blocked one attack, but the next few attacks were a little unstoppable.
At the critical moment, Wang Tao still did not choose to resist, but activated the split cloak and instantly wrapped himself.
Dongdongdong——
The disaster zombie's attack was all hit on the cloak, and Wang Tao did not suffer any damage. However, the cloak cannot be resisted all the time, otherwise it will be damaged. So taking advantage of the gap between the disaster zombie's attacks, Wang Tao immediately put away the split cloak.
Swish——
The split cloak was taken back, and the turbid eyes of the disaster zombie reflected a figure with flames all over his body.
Wang Tao's [Sparks] awakening not only increases attack, but also increases defense, so Wang Tao no longer deliberately dodges, picks up the flaming sword and starts close combat with the disaster zombie.
Boom!
Bang!
Swish!
It must be said that although this disaster zombie looks thin, it is still very strong. With its physical fitness, it should be the strongest one Wang Tao has ever seen besides the giant zombie. But... that's all.
Disaster zombies don't have superpowers, and don't have any mana, so they can only attack with disaster awakening and physical fitness.
But its physical fitness is not a big threat to Wang Tao. Wang Tao is not afraid of the physical fitness of the giant zombie, so why should he be afraid of it?
As for its disaster awakening, it must be said that this awakening is indeed more difficult to deal with. Not only does it continue to lose blood, but it can also impose various negative states on people. If it were someone else, he would probably be lying down by now. But Wang Tao is different. In addition to his own strong strength, he also has two nurses, Lan Yulian and Lin Meng, who are constantly adding blood and blessings behind him.
Therefore, Wang Tao's health was almost always full. Wang Tao's negative status was not only offset by Lin Meng's blessing, but even surpassed.
Especially when the disaster zombie also showed various negative statuses imposed by Wang Tao, there was basically no suspense.
The combat effectiveness of the disaster zombie was getting weaker and weaker, but Wang Tao's combat effectiveness was getting stronger and stronger!
Roar——
When the disaster zombie's health was only the last 10%, it seemed very violent, and its attack speed and frequency increased a lot.
But it was still useless, Wang Tao maintained his own rhythm and attacked.
Finally, there was a puff.
[-12233]
[0/1000000]
Wang Tao chopped off the head of the disaster zombie with a knife, and the zombie's health bar was cleared.
