Chapter 726 The appearance of second-level zombies
Wang Tao returned to the motorcade again and after talking to Wei Zhenguo and others about the situation in the hospital, Wei Zhenguo quickly arranged a battle plan.
"Get started!"
The entire rescue team was divided into three teams. Wei Zhenguo leads a team responsible for rescuing people, and Xiang Hongbin leads a team responsible for killing zombies. Wang Tao is in a team by himself. He is relatively free and acts as a firefighter. After all, he can fly and is very flexible.
Boom——
The sound of the car's engine reached the ears of the zombies in the hospital, instantly attracting the attention of many zombies. They quickly rushed towards the place where the sound was, but what greeted them was a hail of bullets.
Ta da da—ta da da—
The sound of gunfire was louder than the roar of the engine, and it suddenly caused the zombies in the entire hospital to boil.
The zombies hiding in the buildings also rushed out, especially in one of the buildings. Countless zombies jumped out of the second-floor windows like a black tide and headed straight for the convoy!
"Crazy zombie..."
Wang Tao was not surprised to see these zombies.
In the previous life, there were a large number of crazy zombies in the hospital building. When the military evacuated, they specially sealed the place. But crazy zombies can climb walls, and unless the windows are sealed, there's no way to stop them.
However, when Wang Tao saw the crazy zombies in his last life, it was exactly one month before the end of the world. And now, the apocalypse is less than ten days away.
Fortunately, Wang Tao had already told Wei Zhenguo and the others about the crazy zombies before taking action, so that they could take some precautions in advance. Now seeing that crazy zombies had indeed appeared, they immediately threw a large number of Molotov cocktails into the group of corpses. Two military vehicles carrying flamethrowers also spewed out large amounts of flames.
It is impossible to expect flames to kill zombies instantly, because the blood infected by the zombie virus has a certain flame retardant effect, just like the situation in the previous life. Unless it can continue to burn, ordinary flames will burn out on zombies within a short time.
But most zombies are more afraid of fire, and fire can drive them back. If the entire tide of corpses surged towards the convoy, Wei Zhenguo and the others would not be able to stop them. But after the flames pushed the zombies back, the situation eased a lot. As long as they stay within a certain distance from the zombies, the zombies still cannot threaten them.
Not to mention that the Molotov cocktails they throw are filled with things like sugar, which can stick to the zombies and continue to burn, causing considerable damage to the zombies.
Taking advantage of the group of corpses being temporarily blocked, Wei Zhenguo immediately led the truck and rushed into the hospital and went straight to the underground morgue. Wang Tao has already entered the negative level in advance.
It was pitch dark here, but it did not cause any trouble to Wang Tao.
Zizi——
The heat rays instantly illuminated the negative level, and also illuminated the hideous faces of countless zombies. But before these zombies could see Wang Tao clearly, they were directly shot in the head by Wang Tao.
"Compared with the previous life, this place is actually relatively simple..."
In the last life, the medical expert turned into a zombie, still a female zombie. Being able to produce elite zombies in batches has resulted in a terrifying number of elite zombies in the hospital.
But it's different now. Although there are a lot of elite zombies in the hospital, compared with the previous life, there are still a lot less. Obviously, the medical expert should not have turned into a zombie.
Wang Tao had an unimpeded journey and soon arrived at the morgue.
The door was locked tightly, but Wang Tao could hear that there was movement inside.
He used his mental power to explore, and happened to see two survivors clinging to the door, as if they heard something going on outside.
"Open the door! Shuizhe base rescue!"
Wang Tao shouted.
The sound was transmitted directly to the door.
Hearing the movement, the person inside the door suddenly became very excited. They had already heard the gunshots outside, so they observed the situation at the door.
However, they did not dare to open the door without authorization, but were prepared to report quickly. The reason why they can stay here safely is because they followed the instructions of a police comrade before, so they must ask before opening the door.
"Just open the door!"
At this time, the middle-aged male policeman had already arrived with someone.
After hearing his order, the two people quickly opened the door.
Ka——
The lights in the morgue were pale and looked a bit eerie, but when the light shone outside the door and allowed them to see the zombie corpses and the only burly figure standing there, they suddenly felt an indescribable sense of security.
Even though there was only one person outside, they felt as if they had truly been rescued!
"All survivors, come out and pack lightly. Don't take too many things. The car is waiting for you outside!"
Wang Tao shouted, and at the same time glanced at everyone. He wanted to make sure that no one was infected.
"Quick, quick, quick! Leave quickly!"
The middle-aged policeman also immediately began to give instructions.
Then he ran to Wang Tao and said quickly:
"Comrade, we also have a medical expert here, Tao Lin. If he hadn't reminded us to take precautions, many of us might have been infected with the virus. He was studying the zombie virus at this time, but his daughter was infected. They are The innermost part of the morgue is actively isolated from us..."
The middle-aged policeman wanted to take the expert away, but he was not sure whether the expert was infected with the virus or what the rules were at the Mizusawa base. To avoid causing trouble to Shuize Base, he could only ask Wang Tao.
Did his daughter still not escape the fate of being infected...
Wang Tao sighed. I saw Chen Zhuang's fiancée doing well before, and the situation was completely different from the previous life. He thought that maybe the expert's daughter might also escape. Now it seems that good luck cannot always be there.
Wang Tao immediately said:
"Leave him to me, you evacuate first."
"Okay!"
The middle-aged policeman did not write any ink. After telling Wang Tao the location of Tao Lin, he immediately ran upstairs with the other survivors.
Wang Tao quickly came to the place where the middle-aged policeman said he was, and immediately sensed the man on the other side of the door. At this time, he was still holding a pen and writing in a notebook. It seemed that the roars and gunshots of the zombies outside were not heard at all.
Zizi——
Wang Tao directly broke the door lock and pushed in.
"Hurry up and pack up and follow me away."
Tao Lin was startled by Wang Tao's voice, and he was a little confused when he saw that it was a stranger.
"Huh? Why do I feel like I've never seen you before? Are you new here?"
"..."
Wang Tao was speechless. He realized that Tao Lin really didn't hear anything going on outside and didn't even know that rescue was coming.
"I am the rescue team of Shuize Base. All the other survivors have evacuated. It's just you. Come with me quickly."
Only then did Tao Lin realize that someone was here to rescue him.
But his first reaction was not to follow Wang Tao and leave, but to take a step back.
"Thank you for your kindness, I won't leave, let me stay here!"
Behind him, there is a transparent freezing device. A little girl with her eyes closed can be seen lying inside.
This situation was completely unexpected by Wang Tao. Tao Lin's daughter was indeed infected, but her current condition was much better than Wang Tao expected.
It seemed that before she transformed into a corpse, she was put into a freezing device by Tao Lin and frozen. Although low temperature cannot kill zombie viruses, it can reduce the activity of zombie viruses and slow down the onset of the virus.
The little girl's situation now is somewhat similar to Jiang Shixue's situation back then. They were all infected with the zombie virus, and the impurities in their bodies reached 100%, but they did not completely turn into zombies.
Her situation is even better than that of Jiang Shixue in the previous life.
However, she does not have Jiang Shixue's strength and is still a very ordinary little girl.
Regarding this situation, Wang Tao feels that it is a blessing among misfortunes.
Freezing can only delay the zombie virus slightly, but cannot cure it. It is estimated that this little girl will not be able to hold on for long. Even if she is frozen, she will still turn into a zombie. But at this time, the Hope Research Institute in the capital should be developing inhibitors, and maybe they have already been manufactured.
When the time comes, get some inhibitors for the little girl, and you can continue to delay the outbreak of the zombie virus. The effect of inhibitors is much better than freezing.
Although this is still a method that treats the symptoms rather than the root cause, this life is different from the previous life. Wang Tao is reborn with memories this time. And among these memories, there is the formula for zombie virus serum!
This is the formula Wang Tao specially took from Qu Shilin before he prepared to activate [Time Rewind] in his previous life.
Although the formula was very complicated and Wang Tao couldn't understand it at all, he relied on his strong mental power to write it all down.
After the world restarted, Wang Tao still remembered these recipes!
With this formula, it won't be long before the zombie virus serum can be produced. So this little girl can still be saved.
However, Wang Tao has not revealed the formula of the zombie virus serum to anyone yet. It's not that he doesn't trust others, but because Qu Shilin told him before that the time they created the serum was already two years after the end of the world. The zombie virus at that time had undergone countless mutations and was much stronger than the zombie virus in the early apocalypse now.
If the potion is made according to the formula from the previous life unchanged, the potion may be too strong. It's a medicine that's three parts poison. It's not a good thing if the medicine is too strong. It might kill someone.
Qu Shilin specifically told Wang Tao that even if he did bring the zombie virus serum formula to the next life, he would not make it and use it intact. It would be best to find Qu Shilin or other researchers at the Hope Research Institute, tell them the formula, and ask them to retest and improve it. It won't take long before a zombie virus serum that meets the current situation can be produced.
Therefore, this formula is not a real antidote yet, so there is no need for Wang Tao to tell others. It will not be too late to wait until it is actually produced.
"Are you doing it for her?"
Wang Tao pointed to the little girl in the freezing device.
"..."
Tao Lin didn't say anything, so he acquiesced.
"You can't save her here. You have a chance if you come with me. I can take you to other scientific researchers later, such as the Hope Research Institute and the Phoenix Laboratory... Then if you work together, there is a high probability that you can create zombies. Virus Antidote.”
"What? Can you take me to them?"
Tao Lin was immediately surprised when he heard Wang Tao's words.
If he can really work with these people, then he may really have a chance to create an antidote to the zombie virus. But he learned from his own news channels that these experts were protected by the military after the end of the world. Now no one can contact them, and they don’t know if they are still alive...
"It's not a big problem."
Wang Tao's face was calm and he did not guarantee anything directly, but Tao Lin felt a strong sense of confidence from Wang Tao.
However, Tao Lin was still hesitant.
"Then can my daughter go to your base? Although I am not infected with the virus, my daughter... the survivor base should not allow such a time bomb to exist, right?"
"It's okay, just take protective measures in advance. We are professional in this area."
After confirming that his daughter could go to the base, Tao Lin finally stopped resisting.
This freezing device is similar to an ice coffin, but the temperature is much lower than that of the ice coffin, and it can temporarily keep warm for a period of time after being de-energized.
After Tao Lin packed up all his research data, Wang Tao held him in one hand and carried the freezing device with the other, and then flew directly under Tao Lin's confused eyes!
"You can actually fly! What kind of ability is this? Have you mutated? Is this a purification of the zombie virus? Those who succeed gain superpowers and those who fail become zombies?"
It must be said that Tao Lin has many questions and a lot of imagination. But he doesn't pay much attention to external affairs now, and he doesn't know about things like the superpower crystal core.
Wang Tao didn't explain much and took him directly back to the truck.
Everyone else had already settled down, and they were equally confused when facing Wang Tao who flew directly over.
"You go, I will break up the queen."
Seeing more and more zombies, Wang Tao faced Wei Zhenguo.
"Okay!"
Wei Zhenguo put away his rifle and immediately directed the rescue team to break out.
Wang Tao flew into the sky, his eyes glowed red and his firepower was fully activated.
Zizi——
Zizi——
The heat ray swept through, and a large number of zombies died suddenly. No zombie could last more than two seconds. Those were elite zombies, but they were still killed.
Seeing such terrifying lethality, even Wei Zhenguo, Xiang Hongbin and others, who had already seen Wang Tao's strength, were a little numb.
"Is this still a human being..."
"This is a superpower! If we become superpowers in the future, will we be so strong?"
"I always feel that even if we become superpowers, we still won't have the strength of Wang Tao..."
"..."
Wang Tao's full attack made the rescue team feel much more relaxed in an instant. The two teams would soon join together and then run in the opposite direction to the Shuizhe base. There are still too many zombies chasing them now, so it would be better not to take them to the Shuizhe base as much as possible.
Seeing the convoy successfully break through, Wang Tao took a breath.
The effect of his full-strength attack was powerful, but the consumption was also very high, so he had to rest quickly.
Whoosh——
Wang Tao flew to a roof, and Ta Xue jumped on Wang Tao with a bag of loot in his mouth.
Wang Tao discovered the correct way to use Tuxue - it can turn into a black mist through supernatural powers, allowing zombies to ignore it, and then quickly pick up loot among the corpses. Wang Tao doesn't have to do anything, saving a lot of things.
"Let's go."
Wang Tao put away all the trophies, and Tuxue skillfully jumped on Wang Tao's shoulders. Wang Tao was about to return to the base. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and Ta Xue became a little angry.
"Huh? The aura of the second level...has a second level zombie finally appeared!"
Wang Tao immediately changed his plan and flew towards the place where the second-level zombie aura was present.
