Chapter 107 Source Plan
The arrow flew out for a long time, and its speed did not increase much, but it seemed to have exceeded the range of the horn bow.
Lin Qi looked up for a long time, until the arrow disappeared from his sight, and the small black dot in the sky was still flying slowly.
"Why is there no response?"
Just when Lin Qi was puzzled, there was a distant bird cry, and the small black dot seemed to pause and change the direction of flight.
It was just a test shot, so Lin Qi did not add any ability to the arrow, but it seemed to hit.
It was a pity that at such a height, even if it fell, he could not find the falling position, which made Lin Qi give up the idea of shooting another arrow.
The bow and arrow skills have been advanced, and there is no need for the mutant beasts that have escaped to continue searching. After all, the smell left by the mutant weasel has completely destroyed this nest.
Even if it is a powerful mutant beast, it will retreat and be unwilling to approach when it smells this disgusting smell.
Back on the sixth floor, Lin Qi opened the door and went in, and saw Tuan Tuan and Xiao Ling had already gotten up and were chatting on the sofa.
Hearing the door open, Xiaoling quickly leaned into Tuantuan's arms.
"Husband, we were watching you on the balcony just now, why did you suddenly come back? Did you find something terrible?"
Lin Qi's arrow just now directly shot up a car, and even the ground showed traces of ripples, which made the two people's bodies tremble.
"Don't mention it, I killed a weasel. It must have farted before it died, and it almost suffocated me to death."
Lin Qi still feels that he can smell the stench, which is more disgusting than the stench of a corpse.
"I was wondering why you brought a smell when you came back, so this is it."
Xiaoling wrinkled her nose and instantly felt that the air around her was polluted.
"I'll go find a room and take a shower if there is water."
The smell even made Lin Qi feel a little weak, but fortunately his physical fitness was strong, so the impact would be less.
After leaving the room, he searched in other rooms on the sixth floor and found two buckets of clean water. He chose a good bathroom and washed several times before he came out refreshed.
As soon as I returned to the room, I saw Tuan Tuan and Xiao Ling standing on the balcony, looking at something interesting.
"Husband, come and see, what happened to those people?"
It turned out that after Lin Qi left, there were still some mutant rat corpses on the Life Square that had not been processed. When the people in the supermarket saw that there were mutant rats left, they rushed out one after another, wanting to get those precious gene crystals.
For them, an impure gene crystal is also very precious.
But as soon as they arrived at the Life Square, they were enveloped by the stench left by the mutant weasel. The few people in the front fell to the ground with their noses covered in pain, and only a few struggled to crawl back.
Fortunately, at this moment, the mutant zombies had been shot and killed by Lin Qi, and those mutant beasts were also driven away by the stench, otherwise these people would only become their food.
"Don't worry about them, I found some food in other rooms, and we will leave after eating."
If these people are willing to leave, they only need to find a few cars along the main road to enter the safe zone smoothly, but they are reluctant to occupy the supplies and have the freedom of no one to restrain them.
Even if I return to the safe zone and ask the rescue team to come to rescue me, I am afraid that it will bring me some trouble in the future, so it is better to ignore it.
After the three of them had eaten, they came downstairs and started the modified car to drive towards the safe zone.
After the absurdity of last night, the relationship between the three seemed to have reached a delicate situation. I don’t know what Tuantuan and Xiaoling talked about in the morning. The two are getting closer now.
But when Xiaoling looked at Lin Qi, there was always a hint of shyness in her eyes.
This obviously learned something and was ready to be unlocked.
The way back was smoother, but Lin Qi still detoured a distance in the industrial zone and memorized the locations of several nearby factories.
There was no suitable place before, so it was useless to get some equipment, but now there is a site, so we can start preparing.
It was not until the afternoon that the modified car drove into the ruins and came to the sentry post.
Lin Qi greeted the soldiers guarding the sentry post. After several ins and outs, these people had become familiar with each other and had no intention of stopping them at all.
When they returned to the repair shop, there were more than a dozen cars parked in the yard, and all the supplies had been moved back to the warehouse.
"Captain is back!"
Seeing the familiar modified car, Hong Yaodong hurried over and opened the door attentively.
"Why are there more people?"
Lin Qi keenly noticed that there were a few more people in the repair shop, and there were also women.
"It was Brother Sen's idea. We old men can't cook, so Brother Sen asked us to recruit some women we know. Captain, don't worry, they are all well-behaved people.
Some of these men have families to support. Although they have found jobs to earn money to support their families, their families live in other places, and they can't concentrate on their work. It's better to take over and do some chores.
"Xu Sen thought well, so everyone will have a sense of belonging."
Lin Qi drove the modified car to the yard. After the three got off the car, all the people in the repair shop had surrounded them.
"Go do what you need to do, don't come to join in the fun, come two people to help me wash this car. ”
With the repair shop, Lin Qi planned to start modifying the mobile fortress. There might be a long period of time before he didn’t need to go out to look for supplies.
This kind of thing can be easily completed by just leaving it to Xu Sen and these people. After all, we already have the experience of taking them out.
Xu Sen was relieved when he saw the three people returned safely. As long as his sister was safe, he could do anything with confidence.
Lin Qi moved all the weapons and supplies in the car into an SUV. These were precious supplies, including some genetic crystals, which had to be brought back to the villa to be considered safe.
After staying at the repair shop for more than an hour, Lin Qi followed Xu Sen to visit the property he had accumulated in the past few days. In addition to the materials collected, there were also abandoned vehicles obtained from various places. Under the repairs of several car repairmen, Most of them are already available.
"Xu Sen, from now on, I will rely on you to maintain the repair shop's fleet. Just go out every seven days to search for supplies. Next, I need you to help me get some machine tools, steel materials and welding tools."
The space inside the armored vehicle is still too small. If you want to transform it into a mobile fortress, you must have enough energy to maintain it and a special driving method. These things require a little bit of collection.
Xu Sen nodded. Although he didn't know what Lin Qi wanted these things for, he still kept them in mind.
When it was getting dark, Lin Qi drove Tuantuan and Xiaoling back to the villa in an SUV. After all, the conditions in the repair shop were far less comfortable than the villa.
"Is Teacher Bai in the basement again?"
Entering the villa, there was no one in the living room, but you could vaguely see the lights flickering in the basement, as if someone was doing some experiment.
"Go prepare dinner, I'll go down and take a look."
Lin Qi sent the two of them away and walked slowly towards the basement.
Sure enough, Bai Su went directly to the basement after get off work and was currently observing the source of the virus in the petri dish on the operating table.
When he noticed someone coming down, he looked up.
"He's back."
After being out for another two days, Bai Su seemed to have adapted, but the moment Lin Qi came back, he felt somewhat happy.
"Well, what are you studying?"
A dark object in the petri dish aroused Lin Qi's curiosity. There was no such thing in the basement before.
"You wouldn't have guessed that this is the source of the virus you brought back, but I used some special materials to stimulate its activity."
Bai Su made room for Lin Qi, then took out a small black square from the side and slowly threw it into the petri dish. The black wriggling bodies instantly wrapped the square and merged together after a while. .
Then this mass of things was constantly changing its form and was extremely active.
"Are you feeding it?"
In the absence of a host, the source of the virus has survived, but when it is unable to absorb nutrients for a long time, it will slowly die.
"Yes, research materials from major safety zones are sometimes shared and exchanged. I happened to see a piece of data yesterday, which was published by the Beijing Safety Zone Research Institute. It included data on the culture of virus sources."
Bai Su has never given up contact with the Beijing Safe Zone, but now the situation is special. Even if she wants to go to the Beijing Safe Zone, she cannot do so.
"What has been discovered through research? Is it some kind of special mutated zombie?"
Lin Qi knew that scientists played a huge role and could even influence future development, but that was not what he should worry about right now.
"No, what I just fed to it was the waste material you used to make bows and arrows from the third-level mutated horns. After it dissolved and digested this thing, it actually possessed some of the toughness of horns. Do you know what this means? ?"
Bai Su pushed up his glasses and watched Lin Qi's reaction expectantly.
"What does it mean to eat and supplement?"
After Lin Qi teased him, he suddenly froze for a moment, and looked closer at the black thing in the petri dish in disbelief. At this moment, it had turned into a black square, but it was still squirming.
"I have thought of it, but I guess you are thinking that this thing can be made into a weapon, right? Ordinary people have such a lack of imagination."
Bai Su chuckled, pushed his computer over, and opened a file.
The screen suddenly showed a scene of a battle between men and women.
"Sorry, I forgot to clear the record I looked at earlier."
Bai Su was not embarrassed and quickly turned off the video before opening another file.
"This kind of virus source is very rare. At this stage, it can only be studied in laboratories in major safe zones, because this kind of thing is a virion zombie in the early stages of a virus outbreak. It has a chance of carrying it in the brain and surviving. "
The first group of people who were infected had already been humanely destroyed by the Federation. Even if there was a source of the virus in their brains, it had lost its effect.
Although this special virus was later discovered, it was simply impossible to obtain it from the second and third batches of virions.
"I can use genetic crystallization to make a data chip, which can store weapon form sample data or object parameters internally, so that the virus source can be fused. Its characteristics will allow it to remember this data, thus slowly forming a stable form. The safe zone calls this experimental plan the Source Plan.”
Bai Su opened a video on his computer. It was the data released by the Beijing Security Zone. It was a large closed incubator.
The black substance inside is constantly changing its shape, turning into a long knife for a while, a protective suit for a while, and a character model for a while.
"So this thing is so precious! Then I will have a weapon to carry with me in the future?"
After all, the longbow is inconvenient to carry everywhere, but if you have such a weapon that can change its form, you can quickly switch at any time to deal with any scene.
"Don't just limit yourself to weapons. Is your imagination so lacking?"
Bai Su shook her head helplessly. This man's vision was indeed short-term.
"That's something you should consider. My hope is to have a weapon that can be changed at will. It seems that I must reward you well today!"
Lin Qi couldn't help but move forward, lifted up Bai Su's research clothes and took a look. Sure enough, he was wearing a pair of loose pants on his lower body.
"You, aren't you afraid of coming down in groups?"
Bai Su's voice suddenly became softer, and without waiting for the other party to exert any force, he took the initiative to get into Lin Qi's arms.
"They are going to cook. Wait for a while and let's make a quick decision!"
Lin Qi took off his clothes with one hand, loaded the gun with one hand, and stepped forward.
"I'll come back tomorrow with some surveillance cameras, uh, please be gentle!"
Bai Su bit her lip and pretended to be calm.
