News of the construction of the buffer city spread throughout the trading market at an extremely fast speed.
At 9:30 in the morning, Lao Huang announced the recruitment of workers on the radio.
At this time, everyone in the entire trading market knew.
The survivors are excited!
They rushed to Building 3 in the North District to queue up to participate.
But when they arrived outside Building 3 in the North District, they found that the place was already overcrowded.
There was a bustling crowd, and the number of people waiting in line had already exceeded 10,000.
This made many people who rushed here sigh with regret. It would have been better if they had known the news earlier. They missed another good opportunity to earn points.
Since there were too many people in the crowd, Li Zhengping and others sent more than a hundred patrol members to maintain order here.
But more and more people are coming here, and there is great pressure to maintain order.
Li Zhengping frowned as he looked at the huddled group. There was a steady stream of people coming from behind.
We still have to wait until tomorrow morning to start registration? Li Zhengping feels that we can’t go on like this.
He hurried to the North District Administration Building, found Lao Huang and Ding Meng and said:
"Director Huang, why do you have to wait until tomorrow to start? The outside of Building 3 is crowded now. I suggest you start signing up for the physical examination today!"
Lao Huang was chatting with Xie Changshan about the internal construction of the buffer city when he was interrupted by Li Zhengping who broke in.
"Captain Li, what's wrong?" After seeing Li Zhengping, Lao Huang stopped his discussion with Xie Changshan.
Li Zhengping walked to the window and said to them:
"You will know when you come over and take a look."
Lao Huang and Xie Changshan looked at each other, stood up and walked to the window. Li Zhengping opened the window.
Wow——
There was a lot of people outside, and the noise instantly poured into the room.
The administrative building is also in the North District, just one building away from Building 3.
But now the survivors who signed up have occupied the outside of Building 3, and even queued up outside the administrative building.
There were three winding lines with people everywhere.
"There are too many people. There is no need to wait until tomorrow to start registration for inspection. I think we can start directly today." Li Zhengping added next to him.
"What I told Director Luo was to start tomorrow, but..."
Lao Huang looked at the crowd of people outside, with thoughts in his eyes, and continued:
"But as you said, there is no need to wait until tomorrow. Let me talk to Ding Meng, who is in charge of recruitment, and let him start recruiting today."
"Well, hurry up. It's too dangerous for so many people to gather in one place. It's easy for a stampede to happen." After Li Zhengping finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
soon.
After Ding Meng received the news, he immediately opened the recruitment window.
And start the registration selection process.
He Liangwei and others who were the first to come over and queue up were all very happy when they saw the people in front of them moving.
"You see, they must have started registration in advance after seeing so many people. Fortunately, we came early. If we had waited until tomorrow, we would have no chance." He Liangwei said with a smile.
Zhang Meng nodded: "Yes, it seems that we can seize this opportunity again this time!"
........
Building No. 10, North District, not far from here.
prison.
Lao Luo is watching Jing Daqian and Hong Gongcao use the radio station to contact the northwest boss.
Let them report to Northwest based on the information provided by Oil City.
The core point is to tell the northwest boss that there has not been much change in the trading market, reduce the boss's fear of the Oil City, and at the same time, induce the boss to send more spies over.
Hong Gongcao was already very skilled in doing this kind of thing, and he said with ease:
"Don't worry, boss. We have now integrated into their trading market. I expect that we will be able to upgrade to level 4 soon. I hope that boss can bring more reinforcements. In time, we will definitely be able to capture the Oil City.
!”
After he finished speaking, he immediately looked at Jing Daqian.
Jing Daqian looked at the manuscript paper in his hand, pressed the prompts on it, and added:
"Recently, due to the lack of water in Oil City, three riots occurred in the trading market. They were later suppressed by the management of Oil City. Now the survivors in the trading market are complaining..."
...
Ten minutes later.
Lao Luo put down his headset, looked at the two of them and said:
"Yes, you performed very well this time. I hope you can perform like this next time."
"I still say the same thing, as long as you follow us well, you will never regret your decision now."
Jing Daqian nodded vigorously, holding the manuscript paper in his hand, and asked with some anxiety:
"Well, can I regain my freedom like Hong Gongcao?"
As the second batch of spies sent from the northwest, Jing Daqian was directly thrown into the trading market prison by Hong Gongcao.
At first I would rather die than surrender.
So the headquarters base sent artillery over for routine interrogation, and one day later Jing Daqian completely figured it out.
Agree to betray Northwest and cooperate with Oil City.
From then on, I worked with Hong Gongcao and Gao Zhao to report the false news in Oil City to the boss.
However, because he has been detained in prison, it is completely different from Hong Gongcao and the others who can move freely.
Hong Gongcao is a special case in the trading market. He has a free job and a points subsidy given to him by the Oil City.
The bustling business district made him sink.
For him, life in this trading market is almost the same as before the end of the world, and he likes this kind of life.
After get off work every day, I would play mahjong with Gao Zhao and others in the dormitory, stroll around the business district in the evening, and go to Tingfeng Building once a week to satisfy my needs.
When he has to report a holiday to the boss, he can take a break that day and not go to work, and the points will still be collected.
Even, he recently found a girlfriend in the building next door and started falling in love.
I had a wonderful little life.
In comparison, Jing Daqian has been locked up in prison, facing the bars all day long and crying behind bars, which is much miserable.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing his request, Lao Luo thought for a moment and said: "Yes, but you can't leave the trading market. In addition, we will give you a job in a wood products furniture factory.
Just like Hong Gongcao, you can receive points."
Jing Daqian looked excited when he heard this.
"Thank you, I will definitely perform well."
He really didn't want to stay in this dark prison.
When he passed by the cells of Xu Zhi and Liu Hong, he almost didn't recognize them.
Because they had been locked up in the dungeon for a long time, they were disheveled, in a daze, and somewhat mentally disturbed.
As far as the Oil City is concerned, each of these spies in the northwest is registered and focused on, and cannot leave the trading market.
Since they are willing to cooperate, then give them a less important job. After all, it can also create some human value.
........
After the boss finished communicating with Hong Gongcao and others, the boss put down the headset, got up and came to the window.
Looking at the Qilian Snow Mountains in the distance and the gray sky, the Qilian Snow Mountains are not very clear.
"Mingfei, go to Zhang City's farm in person tomorrow. I don't believe what Zhou Songming said." The boss looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and said calmly.
Zhao Mingfei, who was staying in the corner without saying a word, immediately stepped forward after hearing what the boss said.
"Yes, boss."
He succeeded Xu Zhi and held a position similar to that of a boss's secretary.
Xu Zhi never came back since he went to the north. This gave him the opportunity to become a popular figure next to the boss.
But he was also a little cautious in what he did, and he couldn't guess what the boss was thinking.
The boss stood by the window for a while, rubbed his eyebrows and said:
"With the current drought, you ask Hu Liangjian and the others to find ways to get more snow from the Qilian Mountains. Artificial rainfall can also be used. Anyway, we must ensure that the base has water."
"When you go to Zhang City tomorrow, don't listen to what Zhou Songming says. Go to the farm to see the growth of the crops with your own eyes. The farm he is responsible for is currently our largest grain production base. If there is a problem there, it will affect us.
It’s going to be huge!”
It was rare for a boss to explain so clearly, Zhao Mingfei remembered it in his heart.
He tied his hands in front of him, bowed his waist and said seriously: "Okay, boss, I remember it."
"Well, let's go down." The boss's voice was a little tired.
After Zhao Mingfei left, the boss looked out at the gray sky. There were thick clouds in the sky, which made people feel extremely depressed.
The temperature has dropped again recently, and can even reach below zero at night.
"I don't know what this cloud layer will cause... Sigh..." The boss sighed quietly.
He asked experts in the northwest, but no specific and accurate answer was given.
I just talked about what the thick clouds in the sky might cause, but no matter what the result is, it will be extremely detrimental to the northwest base.
I have survived the past six years, but every natural disaster is unexpected and continues, making people extremely helpless.
........
Wuyuan Mountain.
Twenty-five days have passed since Hu Tian came here instead of Huang Shiyong.
During this period, he had been more cautious and never exposed his crazy ideas, for fear of being tricked by Ma Laoliu into the northwest headquarters.
During these twenty-five days, he gradually got to know Ma Laoliu to a certain extent.
Ma Laoliu proposed to let him do radical human experiments several times. At first, he thought it was Ma Laoliu who was testing him, but later he gradually discovered that Ma Laoliu really wanted to do this.
Just what he wanted.
Although he didn't know what Ma Laoliu's purpose was, the two of them had roughly the same ideas.
That is, as long as they can develop a zombie vaccine and antidote, they are willing to do it no matter what the cost.
The reason why Ma Laoliu did this was because he wanted his wife who had turned into a zombie to regain her consciousness and even return to a human being.
Although this seems completely impossible to ordinary people, restoring his wife to human form is the only motivation to support his survival.
As for Hu Tian, he wants to be the savior of mankind, so that future generations of mankind will always remember his name.
As long as he can develop a zombie vaccine, he will become the most respected person in the world.
It is normal for some people to die on the way to success. As long as he can finally achieve his goal, he feels that any price paid is worth it.
This day.
Ma Laoliu came to the zombie research laboratory again to look for Hu Tian.
"Hu Tian, has there been any progress in the research?"
This is the 38th time Hu Tian has heard this question this month.
Hu Tian shrugged his shoulders and said:
"No, after taking the latest vaccine test sent from the Northwest Research Institute, we still haven't solved the fundamental problem and haven't found the core parameters. We can only test it step by step."
Ma Laoliu's eyebrows and heart beat, and he said with some displeasure:
"How long will it take to continue testing like this?"
"According to the experimental standards, we have tested the possibility of one in 10,000. It is estimated that with luck, we should be able to find out the core parameters in a few decades and then adapt them..." Hu Tian said truthfully.
"Decades?!"
After Ma Laoliu heard this number, he almost fainted.
"I'll be dead in a few decades!"
"Is there no other way? You are such powerful experts after all. Don't always follow the rules. If this direction doesn't work, you can study in another direction!"
After hearing these words, Hu Tian raised the corners of his mouth and said casually:
"In fact, there are other ways to speed up the study of core parameters of mutations, find patterns from them, and further develop vaccines."
"but....."
"But what?" Ma Laoliu walked over quickly and asked breathlessly.
After Hu Tian saw Ma Laoliu's expression, he said helplessly:
"However, this method requires large-scale release. We usually test at most a dozen zombies in the research institute.
If it is released on a large scale in a city with more than hundreds of thousands of zombies, the testing efficiency will be very high, and mutant zombies may also be produced. We can capture a large number of mutant zombies, obtain their mutation paths, and deduce the rules.
, so as to find out the core parameters."
"If you're lucky, it's possible to achieve excellent results directly on a certain zombie and find the core parameters at once."
"So, the more zombies, the better..."
When Ma Laoliu heard what he said, he became excited.
"If there is such a way, why didn't you tell me earlier! Go and test it! Why not test it!"
Hu Tian put the test tube containing the green liquid back on the shelf, spread his hands, and said helplessly:
"Due to the large scope of large-scale testing, we cannot lock down a city. The zombies inside are likely to mutate. This mutation is unpredictable and may lead to the emergence of some extremely terrifying zombies.
And because it is a large-scale test, these mutated zombies are uncontrollable and may escape from our control at any time."
Hearing this, Ma Laoliu fell silent.
"Then just find a place and lure the zombies there. Wouldn't that be enough?"
Hu Tian heard this and said with a smile:
"Yes, if you can do it, it's fine as you said, but the experimental test will take a long time, at least half a month, and if it's longer, it may take two months."
"It's been so long..."
Ma Laoliu's brain was running wildly, and he probably understood the method Hu Tian said.
In fact, it is to release immature vaccines on a large scale into zombie groups.
These immature vaccines may have different effects on different zombies.
Then, some of the zombies who reacted violently were captured to study and promote the perfect vaccine.
But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is unpredictability.
For example, the vaccine developed before was injected into the wall-climbing zombie after Huang Shiyong added some elements at Ma Laoliu's request, making the wall-climbing zombie not afraid of ultraviolet light.
This zombie was sealed in a cage and was killed by Xu Zhi after seeing it.
This may also happen if an immature vaccine is released into a large zombie swarm.
But......
Ma Laoliu's eyes turned cold.
Never mind.
Anyway, what he wants is for his wife to regain her consciousness and become a human again. Nothing else matters.
At worst, he doesn't want Wuyuan Mountain anymore. As long as his wife can get better, he is willing to pay any price.
"Can you restore the consciousness of zombies? Can you develop such an antidote?" Ma Laoliu asked seriously.
Hu Tian was shocked when he heard this. He had never thought of such a thing.
The most he can think about is that after successfully developing a vaccine and injecting it into the human body, if he is bitten by a zombie, he will not be infected by the zombie virus and become a zombie.
But after hearing what Ma Laoliu said, he actually wanted to turn the zombies back into humans.
This feels a bit like fantasy.
But after getting in touch with him during this time, he could clearly see that what Ma Laoliu wanted was the antidote, not the vaccine.
"Maybe he has a relative who turned into a zombie..." Hu Tian guessed in his mind.
From the perspective of scientific theory, the antidote mentioned by Ma Laoliu is unlikely.
But... who can say for sure, after all, they have also found active substances in the bodies of zombies.
In order to win Ma Laoliu's support, Hu Tiansha nodded matter-of-factly:
"Of course! As long as a vaccine can be developed, a zombie antidote can be developed!"
Ma Laoliu breathed rapidly, walked over and hugged Hu Tian tightly.
"Okay! Just do it!"
Hu Tian said coquettishly: "But this method is strictly prohibited by the headquarters base. If it is discovered, it will be over... It's not good... Otherwise, we should apply with the headquarters scientific research institute."
"It's okay! I, Ma Laoliu, dare not say it in other places, but in this land near Wuyuan Mountain, I have the final say! If anything happens, I will be responsible!" Ma Laoliu let go of Hu Tian and patted his chest and said.
A trace of excitement flashed in Hu Tian's eyes, but he acted extremely hesitant.
"No, I'm a little scared."
"Listen to me! I'll protect you!" Ma Laoliu promised.
"I still think I need to talk to the headquarters research institute."
"I can't say, you said what if they ban it! Stop talking nonsense, just follow the method just mentioned. Tell me what you want to do next and what you need, and I will help you prepare it." Ma Laoliu
Seeing Hu Tian's coyness, he became a little impatient.
"But...."
"No but! Fuck! Just do it that way!" Ma Laoliu put his hand on the gun bag at his waist and looked at Hu Tian with a threatening look in his eyes.
Under the "deterrence" of the firearm, Hu Tian had to agree "reluctantly".
