Chapter 156 Dozens of Strengthening Potions
"Specific situation? What aspect?"
"Tell me everything from the zombie outbreak to now."
After all, it was a life-saving grace. They quickly began to answer Li Shou's questions.
With so many people describing and adding to it, Li Shou soon figured out what had happened over the past year.
The initial outbreak point of the zombie virus was the city of York. A few days after the outbreak, the Celestial Dragons mobilized troops to blockade the city and at the same time dropped incendiary bombs on York City in an attempt to destroy the city.
But after the outbreak, the "Toure Incident" occurred that went down in history.
On the day of the incident, the zombies broke through the army's siege. According to the Draco soldiers who later escaped, a giant zombie appeared that day and breached their position.
After the defense line was breached, the zombie virus spread along with a large number of infected soldiers, and then quickly infected surrounding cities.
The zombie virus is very powerful. The speed and power of the infected zombies far exceed that of ordinary humans. If the zombies are large enough, they may occasionally mutate into powerful mutants, or even super mutants.
So the spread speed is also extremely fast.
Within a few months, the virus had infected most cities around the world.
But human technology is not a vegetarian. Although most civilians cannot resist this level of invasion, the core area of the Tianlong people is heavily guarded. Many military camps were not captured by the corpses, and many protected areas were subsequently formed on the spot.
And civilians are also very resilient.
Although most of the communities of ordinary people were captured, the survivors still established their own protected areas in the countryside and mountains, far away from the corpses.
Generally speaking, the Celestial Dragons are around the city, ordinary people are in the countryside, and zombies are everywhere, forming a strange balance among the three parties.
"Of course, this is not absolute. Some of us round-nosed people have established safe zones in the city, and the Tianlong people also have military bases in the mountains. But overall, most of them are around the city, and we are in the countryside."
"Has any potion been researched?"
"Antibody medicine? Only the most common vaccine can prevent zombie infection with a certain probability, but the effect is average."
"It's not an antibody drug, it's a virus-enhancing drug."
"It must be true. How could he become so powerful without you?" After hearing this, captain Anben finally believed that something was wrong with Li Shou's brain. "The enhanced virus has been created a long time ago, but like the vaccine, the effect is unstable."
"how to say?"
"Viruses are RNA. I don't understand whether they are single-stranded or anything like that. Anyway, they mutate easily. Part of the effect of strengthening potions and antibody potions is the same, except that antibodies make people immune to the virus, while strengthening potions block it. The part of the virus that attacks the brain retains the part that stimulates body muscles to mutate. I’m not a scientist and I can’t tell you the specifics.
But no matter what, the virus is changing all the time. The virus is unstable, and the enhancer is also unstable. If you are not careful, it will cause disability, and even cause people to transform into corpses. "
"I understand." Li Shou also understood the mechanism of the virus potion. Compared with the zombie movies he watched, this kind of unstable strengthening drug seemed to be a normal situation in reality. "Where can I get this potion?"
"All large safe zones with research institutes, or base cities, have them. But the Tianlong people's medicines are only supplied to the Tianlong people, not to us."
After the doomsday broke out, the hatred between the Celestial Dragons and ordinary people did not ease because of the arrival of zombies.
On the contrary, after a breakthrough was made, the conflicts between the two sides intensified.
Poisoning each other, fighting each other, and various methods are endless.
Not to mention now, just when the end of the world has just come, ordinary people are also very violent in their revenge against the Celestial Dragons. Many chaotic groups have captured the Celestial Dragons and tortured them in various ways, venting their anger for many years.
The Celestial Dragons are not even kind. During peacetime, they treat civilians as cattle and horses. When the apocalypse comes, the cattle and horses become enemies. The Celestial Dragons hate ordinary people more than mindless zombies.
A low-level person who only deserved to be driven before now dares to take revenge on the Celestial Dragon master and even poops and pees on the master's head. They will not tolerate it.
Even if there are "peaceful people" calling for cooperation between the two sides, it is useless. The grievances have been too deep for countless years. Whoever dares to call for joint resistance against zombies will be the first to be thrown into the zombies.
‘The world has turned out to be like this, balanced and chaotic, but it seems that there is more chaos. The development now seems more like what the vine wants to see than what the mushroom wants to see. But it doesn’t matter, the two sides are similar, but the emphasis is slightly different. ’
After Li Shou generally understood the changes in the world in the past year, he began to inquire about more details.
"What are you doing here?"
"Collect new mutant viruses carried by mutants. This thing can be sold at a good price in the safe zone. The safe zones in various regions are purchasing these things."
“What’s hard currency now?”
"Compressed biscuits with a lot of preservatives. These are easy to make and can be used in any safe zone. When soaked in water, they will expand into biscuits and porridge. One piece will keep you from starving for a day."
"Well, take me to the nearest safe area with strengthening potions."
"OK."
The team lost the vehicle though.
But there were still many abandoned cars on the viaduct. After they found suitable tires and replaced them, Li Shou sat on the pickup truck and followed the team back.
On the way back, we naturally met some more zombies.
Li Shou also helped them clean up. During the cleaning process, he did not show too much fighting power and made himself look a little normal.
All the way back to the base city more than a hundred kilometers away.
This is a safe area built in a mountain col. There are mountain walls on both sides. The entrance in the middle is built with stone walls. The gate is made of solid wood and covered with iron, and various thermal weapons are installed above it.
This defensive ability is enough to withstand ordinary zombies.
When Li Shou and others arrived, it was already dark, and the light source at the base city gate was still sufficient. Under the light, guards came down to check the bodies and nostrils of several people.
After confirming that there was no virus infection and that they were not Tianlong people, they let a few people in.
The base is a bit noisy, with the sound of diesel generators everywhere. However, these power resources are not supplied to ordinary people. Most of them are used by laboratories and guard offices.
So at night, it looks very dark here.
"Hey, virus hunters, how was your harvest today? Do you want to warm up your bed at night? Just a biscuit, and the two of us will serve it together!" As soon as the pickup truck entered, two people in their twenties came up, wearing warm clothes. pants twins.
The two looked exactly the same. One had pink hair and the other had red hair. They twisted their waists while talking. They were obviously professional prostitutes in the apocalypse.
It's just that in peaceful times, they can exchange a lot for their bodies.
But now they can only exchange food, but they can't exchange it.
Beauty in prosperous times is like gold, but in troubled times it is not worth five buckets of rice - this is the experience that the ancients summed up long ago.
"Get out of the way, don't block the car! Damn it, I haven't even settled the accounts with you for stealing my gas last time, yet you dare to come here!" Anben obviously had some issues with these two women, so he immediately drove them away.
However, the twins were not good at it. When they heard that the business could not be done, they immediately cleared their throats and spit out a mouthful of sticky phlegm on the windshield of the pickup truck.
"Poor guy, he will be killed by zombies sooner or later!"
"Damn it, you guys better not go out. If you go out of the safe zone, I'll kill you two first." Aben cursed and drove the car to the side of the road.
Then at Li Shou's signal, he took him to the research institute.
The laboratory is brightly lit, where viruses are isolated inside, and the outside is like a small pharmacy, selling various medicines.
There are common medicines such as anti-inflammatory drugs and antipyretics...
There are also high-end medicines such as virus-enhancing medicines.
"What strengthening potions are there?" Li Shou went straight to the topic after he came in, and a salesperson also began to introduce patiently.
"There is a universal type A, low success rate version. The experimental data is that the reinforcement success rate is 33.7%. The probability of disability after infection is very high, the probability of death is low, and the probability of corpse transformation is low... This one is for increased strength and speed."
"There is also universal type B, which is still an inferior version. The data is that the enhancement success rate is 24.1%. There is no disability rate after infection, but the mortality rate is very high, and there is no probability of corpse transformation. In other words, this enhancement potion will fail if it succeeds. If you get it, you will die... This one has acceleration power and anti-infection."
"Experimental Z-type, a newly produced type in the past two months, the death and disability data are unclear, but this is a rare agent that can improve perception. The original virus was extracted from a mutated zombie without eyes. That zombie It can listen to sounds and identify its location, and this injection can greatly enhance hearing."
"Experimental Type
"Experimental Type G is also a new product. It was obtained from BOSS. The price is very expensive. Of course, there is no fatality rate data."
