Chapter 554: Three burrows of a cunning rabbit, the necessity of researching antidotes!
During the day, Oreo would follow Su Chan to graze yaks and sheep, and would not return until about four o'clock in the afternoon.
Moore joined the infrastructure construction team and relied on his strength to earn private money for himself in order to have extra food at night.
Even the big and small sparks are not idle. After resting early in the morning every day, they will stroll to the vegetable field opened by the village to work, and will not come back until the evening.
Therefore, after inspecting the current situation in the territory and returning to the shelter, Somo gained a rare free time.
Returning to the third floor, he took out some damp bedding and placed it on the front of the Tihu car to dry in the sun. He also prepared the two fish in the trunk and put them into a pot to stew them. Then Somo lay down comfortably on the sofa and began to take a nap.
The sun is shining and fireworks are lingering.
On the first sunny day after the heavy snowfall, the villagers were busy working hard. They were all sweating and clearing the snow around the village and continuing to work on the planned infrastructure.
A trace of shouting passed through the open door of the shelter to the third floor. Not only did it not disturb the sleeping Somo, it actually made him change his position and sleep deeper.
He slept for more than two hours. It was not until the alarm clock rang that he slowly opened his eyes.
He got up and came to the pot with a low fire. As soon as Somo opened the lid, a rich smell instantly floated out and spread throughout the three floors.
The freshness of the fish, the numbness of the Sichuan peppercorns, the spiciness of the red pepper segments, combined with just the right spoonful of red oil, is a standard Sichuan style recipe.
After two hours of slow simmering, every trace of the flavor of the aniseed ingredients is absorbed into the fish cut into small pieces, giving the fish an attractive blush on the surface.
Coupled with the ample amount of exercise carp gets in freshwater lakes, its meat is extremely chewy.
In winter, with a pot of fish like this, even the coldest heart can instantly melt into soft water.
He picked up the small spoon next to him, took a small bite, and then ate a piece of fish.
Feeling the rich flavor exploding on his taste buds, Sumo nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and put the pot directly into the storage space.
After taking in an older batch of villagers and setting up a kitchen, he hasn’t cooked in person for a long time.
This is not because he is lazy, but because he is so busy every day after becoming a lord that he has no leisure time to stay in the kitchen and continue tinkering.
And the current pot of fish is not because Su Mo is greedy and wants to eat meat.
Not to mention rewarding the hard-working depression villagers and management.
His destination is a group of "unknown people" in the depression!
The wind that summoned the lion man took away the smell in the third floor. After confirming that the fire in the stove was extinguished, Soma strode out of the shelter.
Move the quilt on the cover of the slot machine to the stool and sofa on the first floor of the garage and continue to bask in the sun.
Turn the key to start the ignition, and drove out leisurely in the opposite direction of the village.
The road in snow is not easy to walk on, especially when the obstacles inside are covered by snow, and driving forward is full of various risks.
But fortunately, Somo has walked this road many times, and when he closes his eyes, he can vaguely recall the scenery on the road when there is no snow.
He took out one hand of Jay Chou and put it all the way to the north. He put his hand outside the car window. A deep car mark on the shallow snow began to extend from south to north.
Driving along the way, for the first twenty or thirty kilometers, there were many villagers working outside in the depression in search of resources.
Whenever they see Dihu approaching, they will raise their hands excitedly and cheer loudly.
Similarly, Soma would also sound the whistle to indicate the excitement of these people.
But after reaching fifty kilometers away, the number of people gradually became less and less, and even most of the traces of human footsteps suddenly disappeared.
It’s like villages in ancient times that looked like small societies.
According to individual physical strength, without sufficient force to protect themselves, the farthest distance that every villager in the depression can travel is only four hours times the strength of his feet.
People who walk fast can walk about 10 kilometers in an hour, which is 40 kilometers in four hours. They work 80 kilometers back and forth every day.
People who walk slowly can only cover five or six kilometers in an hour, and only about fifty kilometers in a day.
Without modern transportation and productivity tools, it would no longer be possible for humans to travel thousands of kilometers or even hundreds of miles away.
Wandering until he was less than five kilometers away from the northern border of the depression and 124 kilometers away from the village, Sumo stopped the car and began to continue to identify the direction.
This time, he quickly found the way forward, turned the car and headed west.
Only sixteen kilometers away, when Sumo stopped the car again, a seemingly ordinary hilltop appeared in front of him.
Unlike the bustling and impressive large-scale infrastructure in the village, everything here still retains its original appearance.
Except for the fact that the overall potential of the depression has increased and the environment has become more favorable, it would be difficult for others to find any difference between this place and other places.
Turn off the engine and get out of the car. After walking around along the route in his memory, Somo successfully arrived at the front of the hill.
The snow cover buried all the signs that could identify the direction. After scanning around and finding no traces on the ground, Sumo leaned down and started to clean up the snow with a slight surprise.
After a while, a small pile of snow was cleared.
After pulling open a piece of turf floating on the ground again, an inconsistent wooden door appeared on the ground.
Dong..Dong-dong-dong.Dong-dong!
Accompanied by Soma's very rhythmic tapping, a muffled sound with a slight echo came from below.
Obviously, the bottom of the wooden board is not a solid ground, but an underground space with a volume of at least one hundred cubic meters.
The first time I knocked, no one opened the door. It looked like there was no one down there.
The second time I hit it, it was still the same.
But after the third Soma hit and the previous frequency was switched, the sound coming from the bottom of the board was no longer an empty echo, but a dull sound of footsteps. .
Creak.
The wooden door was pushed up from bottom to top, revealing a furry bear head. It was the long-lost Bear Man Lili!
“Hey, why are you here, Director!”
With a full of silly smile, the bear man scratched his head and made way for the downward passage.
Different from conventional shelters, the passage behind the wooden board is not a wide living space, but a staircase that slopes downwards with no end in sight.
Furthermore, the air coming from the stairs is not as stuffy as imagined, but is not much different from the outside world.
"Hey, did you build a vent somewhere else?"
After walking down the stairs and taking two puffs, Sumo asked in surprise.
Lili nodded: "Yes, when the eldest sister came back last time, she helped to open another vent, and also blessed the side of the mountain bag, so that the wind can be changed regularly every day!"
"Kang Ni is not here now?”
“Yes, the eldest sister came back three days ago, and then told her that the next time she comes back, she will have to wait until the snowstorm is over.”
Follow! Lili skillfully poked his head out to observe the outside, and then put down the wooden board. The two of them walked down the stairs while chatting about the current situation.
Similar to the Z-shaped passage design in the underground shelter, this is also used in the underground base here.
However, the degree of folding here is much higher than that of the shelter. There are about 300 steps leading down, including large iron doors that can be lowered.
In terms of safety factor, even if the perimeter of the underground space is still surrounded by wood, it is still comparable to an underground shelter!
“Did Connie say how the development is going there?”
Lili: “I mentioned it a few times because our current team’s combat effectiveness is not high and the supplies we carry are not high. Limited, and what you said about building high walls, accumulating food, and slowly becoming king, she chose to place her territory next to a few small alien tribes and did not compete with those medium-sized tribes to compete for benefits. "Furthermore, Sister Tou's current strength is no worse than that of the leaders of some large foreign races, so the lords of these small territories have some ideas in mind and do not dare to provoke us. Now they can be considered harmonious"
"In terms of numbers, we brought a total of twenty-six people before. Now we have developed for more than a week. By absorbing and screening some wandering aliens, we have expanded to eighty-four people."
"On the House"
It seems that she knew that Sumo would be curious to inquire about the development. The last time Connie came back, she gave a very detailed explanation, even detailing the specific storage situation of each item of material.
Although Lili didn't remember it all, he used a stupid method to write down all the data. Now when he reports it, it's quite clear.
“Eighty people so quickly? And fifteen wooden houses built from scratch? This speed is not slow at all!”
After walking through the last step, another door was opened by the people inside. After the two stepped in, the real underground space finally appeared in front of them.
From left to right, the usable area of the entire space is approximately 300 square meters.
Half of it belongs to the activity space of the aliens living inside, and the other half is used to store supplies.
At this time, when they saw Somo coming in, the six aliens standing on the first floor turned their heads and walked up respectfully.
“Thank you for your hard work”
"It's not hard, it's not hard. We can meditate and improve our strength after eating every day. It's so comfortable!"
Being patted on the shoulder by Sumo, the fox man who opened the door trembled, and then said the profit without concealment. Li Xiong's face turned red.
Assigned to this mission point, when they first heard that they were going to stay underground and live in darkness every day, the group of people felt a little rebellious at first.
But within two days, after feeling the benefits of this job, they gloriously "rebeled"!
There is no life threat, no need to worry about running out of supplies, and they can even have a lot of time to do their own things. This is a bright future that they did not dare to think about in the clan before.
Now, seeing Su Mo's caring eyes, even though they were thick-skinned, they didn't dare to lick their faces to accept the compliment.
“Let’s go down and take a look at the situation!”
smiled and stopped teasing the innocent foreigners. With Lili, the two of them continued along a staircase in the corner. down.
Soon, a large iron door was opened from the inside again.
This time, the things guarding the mission point finally revealed their true colors in Lushan!
Twelve terrifying-looking alien heads were fixed on something that looked like an electric lamp base, and were wrapped with chains as thick as a baby's forearm.
Dozens of hoses pass through the bottom of the skull, forming a nutritional transportation line to replace their disappeared bodies.
Seeing Somo coming in, his head froze for a moment, and then he began to move his face, with an expression that he wanted to rush up and bite, which made people shudder.
“Everyone has changed?”
“Yes, the last person didn’t hold on two days ago and became what he is now, but his strength is obviously greater than the others. Some!”
Pointing to the fourth head from the top, Lili looked frightened. It was obvious that what had happened had shocked everyone.
"A bit bigger than the others?"
Listening to Lili describing the scene two days ago when his head mutated during the night and he almost escaped from the trap, Somo frowned suddenly. frowned.
As early as the first day of arriving in the New World, that is, on the evening of April 1st, Sumo gave Connie two secret orders.
After receiving the order, Connie immediately dispatched all the aliens and arrived at the depression one step ahead of the large army.
This is also the reason why most villagers suddenly discovered that there were no foreigners in the team.
After arriving, Connie easily used the core of the shelter given by Somo to build this underground base to hold a dozen aliens who were previously infected.
And after the construction was completed, she left the depression and went to another place prepared by Soma to establish the first affiliated force of the depression.
The cunning rabbit has three caves.
In fact, when the virtual reality calculation calculated that the depression was located among several super-large alien races, and the survival probability was only a few tenths of a percent, Sumo made up his mind that he must have a back-up.
Connie is one of the backup men he prepared.
Once the depression is invaded and reaches the point of no return, you must be decisive in giving up the territory!
With only people and no supplies, going to other places is naturally very dangerous.
But if you go to the sub-base established by Connie and have the previous accumulation, the chance of making a comeback will always be greater than wandering around.
However, Sumo failed to calculate that Connie, who was in greater danger, was fine, but these so-called "zombies" almost had problems.
"No, didn't the message predicted by Oreo say that once all the infected aliens finally lose their minds, they will not retain their previously strengthened strength, but will fall to half of the first time?"
" Why now?"
Thinking quickly about the specific information predicted by Oreo before, and then observing the mutated zombies in front of him, Somo frowned and the tendons on his head stood out.
When I first learned that a zombie crisis was coming, I thought of the overwhelming scenes in the movies on Earth.
Even Sumo himself felt a little chilled.
After that, as the large troops landed in the New World and met other alien races, Sumo initially gained some confidence to survive the zombie crisis.
After all, whether they are humans or aliens, their strength in the New World is quite good, and they have a certain IQ, so they can work together to resist and share individual pressure.
There are even these alien races as cannon fodder. In the depression in the hinterland of the New World, there is no need to worry about the zombies coming in the early stage.
As for the rest, after seeing the eighth-level flame dragon of the Demon Soul Clan and the war strength of the army of reformers, the crisis of the zombie wave has completely become ordinary.
Even under a pessimistic judgment, the probability of survival is over 90%. In terms of threat, it is even worse than the impact of low temperature.
But now.
If the strength of these zombie aliens is not as Oreo said, it has been significantly reduced and turned into cannon fodder.
But like the current No. 4 alien race, its strength has increased instead of decreasing, and it is even more terrifying than the last enhancement.
“Oh, this is a fucking surprise. How can the foreign races on the periphery of the New World withstand such a zombie attack? I’m afraid they will be forced to turn enemies into friends in one or two waves. "
"Even if the depression is in the hinterland of the New World, I'm afraid these zombies will have to drive straight into it"
"No, we have to research the antidote quickly, otherwise once we fight these zombies and someone is infected, it will really be our own people fighting our own people!"
When I think of the movie World War of the Dead, , that majestic scene of zombies running wild, and then look at the aliens with red eyes and rotten faces in front of them.
Sumo shuddered violently and strengthened his inner judgment.
Although there are only one or two months left before all the alien races mutate, when they swim to the New World, it will take at least two months to prepare under the current weather.
Add the two.
Compared with other unsuspecting alien races, all people living in the New World now have at least four more months to respond to the super disaster that is about to break out.
Considering that other disasters along the way are very likely to delay the landing of zombies.
There is still half a year left for the depression!
If the corresponding antidote or antidote can be developed within half a year, then this disaster will become an opportunity for the rise of the depression.
But if it cannot be developed, or the zombies are stronger.
Then the only way left for everyone is to hide underground like rats!
