Doom Smuggler

Hmm... still have to keep collecting gold.

The gold reserves in Hangcheng are basically searched and empty, it's time to turn your attention to other surrounding places...

Chapter 500 Gossip in the base

"Boss, what Dr. He means is that there is no technical difficulty in researching the medicine that suppresses Morgan's self-cognition disorder, but there is difficulty in practical implementation."

Li Lu quickly returned from He Jianian's laboratory, returned to Chen Yang's side, and said helplessly.

"Huh? How do you say it?"

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows and asked.

"According to Dr. He's explanation, Morgan's self-cognition disorder should be due to the overactive cerebral cortex during the process of zombification, which to a certain extent resisted the erosion of zombification, making Morgan's brain not like other zombies. In that way, it is completely assimilated by the virus."

Li Lu put her arms around Chen Yang's arm, and continued: "Thus, although Morgan's body is completely cadaverized, his brain retains most of the human structure. However, the erosion of zombification cannot have no effect on Morgan after all. So Morgan's brain still suffered some damage.

As a result, in order to develop an inhibitory agent specifically targeting Morgan's situation, it is necessary to observe Morgan's brain in detail, otherwise, it is impossible to understand Morgan's specific situation.But to observe Morgan's brain in detail, Morgan's [-]% cooperation is needed..."

Listening to Li Lu's explanation, Chen Yang understood what the difficulty was.

If Morgan cooperates [-]% with the Shuguang Base in its research on its brain, it is actually tantamount to handing over [-]% of his own safety to the Shuguang Base.

Even if Chen Yang knew it well, he would never take the opportunity to endanger Morgan's safety, but why should Morgan trust him?

In the nearly ten years since the catastrophe broke out, the survivors have struggled to survive in this wasteland, fighting each other for a little food.

All the credulous people have already died in this process...

Although Morgan is not human, the living environment of zombies is not much better than that of humans.

As one of the rare zombies who still possess intelligence, Morgan's vigilance is definitely not lighter than that of humans.

From this point of view, the possibility of realizing Morgan's idea of ​​joining the base is basically zero...

"In other words, Dr. He believes that if Morgan is willing to cooperate, then he will be able to research the corresponding inhibitor?"

After pondering for a while, Chen Yang asked.

"Yes, that's what Dr. He said. According to Dr. He's understanding, the key to suppressing Morgan's self-awareness is to maintain the stability of Morgan's brain. The development of this medicine is not technically difficult, but the troublesome part It lies in accurately figuring out the current state of Morgan's brain."

Li Lu nodded.

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. When I am free, let Xingzhou accompany me to the ruins of Hangzhou to find Morgan. With Xingzhou, my safety is guaranteed. As long as Morgan does not In a state of cognitive confusion, it should be able to communicate normally, and I will try to persuade it."

Chen Yang said.

"Actually, I don't really understand. Although Morgan is very strong, if he can be recruited, it will indeed be a good supplement to the base's individual combat power. But no matter how powerful it is, it will only strengthen the human level after all.

In this world, without the power of an evolutionary, there is no ability to control the situation. Even if Morgan is successfully recruited, it will not be able to bring about essential changes and improvements for our base.So...why go to the trouble of doing something like this? "

Li Lu asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Because it is very special. A zombie that has been completely cadaverized but still retains human thinking. This state of being able to communicate normally, once it becomes a companion, will be very helpful for us to understand intuitively. Recently, it has begun to happen in Changes in zombies and alien species."

Chen Yang took a deep breath, and continued: "According to Dr. He's discovery during this period, we can clearly understand that alien species and zombies are becoming more and more organized, and they are changing the previous solitary survival mode , become more orderly.

The alien species started the evolution of the special field in a terrible way, and the speed of this evolution was extremely fast, which completely violated the normal theory of biological evolution.We need to make some preparations for this in advance, and it would certainly not be a bad thing to have a deeper understanding of them. "

Li Lu couldn't help but nodded and said, "I see. No wonder Dr. He became obviously excited when he heard that you wanted to recruit Morgan. He seemed to agree with your decision."

"Haha, this guy is probably thinking of fooling Morgan into the base, and then directly conducting various living experiments on Morgan? I have no doubt that if he finds out that Morgan is in this state and can obtain eternal life, he will definitely find a way Turn yourself into the second Morgan."

Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Hearing what you said... Dr. He seems a little scary."

Li Lu couldn't help shivering.

"Just get used to it. True geniuses are all paranoid. If Dr. He didn't have this trait, he wouldn't have fallen out with the Medical Association. Speaking of which, we are quite lucky. One Dr. He, one Xing Zhou, They are all elite figures in the top forces in the wasteland.

As a result, by mistake, they all joined our base.If it weren't for the two of them, our Shuguang Base would not have developed so fast and smoothly. "

Chen Yang said with some emotion.

"In the final analysis, it is your personal charm that can convince Xing Zhou and Dr. He. If someone else were to lead the base, I don't think Xing Zhou and Dr. He would be able to agree with them so quickly. "

While talking, Li Lu leaned her head on Chen Yang's shoulder with a happy expression on her face.

In less than half a year, her life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

And it was the man beside her that brought her this change.

Since the appearance of this man, everything about her has taken a turn for the better. Until now, she has regarded this man by her side as her whole world.

"By the way, I don't know if it's true, but I think I should tell you about it. Of course, it's not a big deal. It should be gossip in essence."

Li Lu suddenly thought of something, looked at Chen Yang with big eyes and said.

"Huh? Gossip? We still have gossip in our base?"

Chen Yang looked surprised.

"Yeah, do you still remember Cheng Xue? The naturally awakened person you rescued before, she... seems to see each other with Xing Zhou."

Li Lu said with a smile.

Chapter 5 and One: Love in the Wasteland World

In the outer city training area of ​​the Shuguang base, Cao Xingzhou stood upright, standing like a javelin.

This training area was specially set up to train new recruits for the Armed Forces.

As for those formal members of the Armed Forces who have completed recruit training, they also need to conduct fixed daily drills in the training area every day.

Cao Xingzhou deeply agrees with the concept of sweating more on weekdays and bleeding less in wartime, so he has never relaxed about the training of members of the armed forces.

After this period of development and the absorption of personnel, the number of official members of the armed forces has broken through the [-] mark.

And all the armed personnel who have completed the brainwashing education and have indeed developed an absolute admiration for the base leader Chen Yang have all been injected with a third-order strengthening agent.

This obviously greatly improved the overall strength of the Shuguang Base.

It's just that no matter how great the improvement is, it is far from enough in Cao Xingzhou's eyes.

In Cao Xingzhou's view, the current Shuguang base is not even a baby bird.

Cao Xingzhou, who is used to how powerful the Scarlet Legion is, is also very satisfied with the speed of the development of the Shuguang base, but it is really difficult to be truly satisfied with the absolute strength of the Shuguang base.

The difference is too big...

If the Scarlet Legion is compared to an adult strong man, the Shuguang Base is not even a child, at best it is a fertilized egg...

Because of this, Cao Xingzhou has always maintained a high pressure on the members of the armed forces. He must do his best to raise the basic combat power of the Shuguang base!

"Why didn't you go to eat at noon? I... I brought you lunch."

Just as Cao Xingzhou was concentrating on how to train these newcomers more efficiently, a shy and clear voice sounded from behind him.

Turning around subconsciously, he saw Cheng Xue appearing beside him holding a rice bowl.

It is indeed a basin.

At least the kind you can use to wash your face.

Inside is a pot full of delicious egg fried rice, and it is also paired with many ingredients such as luncheon meat and sausage.

Cao Xingzhou is an evolutionary after all, such a full bowl of fried rice with eggs can almost fill him up to about [-]%.

However, it is Cao Xingzhou's own intention to eat until he is full for every meal, and it has nothing to do with the supply of the base.

The human body's genes have a self-protection mechanism. Once you eat too much, your body will spontaneously become lazy and lack the necessary motivation.

On the contrary, maintaining a certain sense of hunger will be more conducive to the normal functioning of the body.

Cao Xingzhou didn't want his will to be worn down by such a comfortable and comfortable life in the base, so he was always alert to himself in every aspect of his daily life.

A pot full of egg fried rice was full of aroma, and the recruits in the training ground could also smell it.

One by one turned their heads subconsciously to look at them, and swallowed saliva uncontrollably at the same time.

Although they were all full, they still couldn't resist the temptation of fried rice with eggs.

The Dawn base is establishing a corresponding hierarchy.

This hierarchical system is not only reflected in the daily water supply, but also has a considerable difference in the standard of three meals a day.

There are quite a few ingredients that are extremely precious to the wasteland world, and only the cadres of the base can enjoy them daily.

And things like eggs must reach the level of the department head to be eligible for distribution.

Therefore, there is no doubt that this bowl of egg fried rice is specially made for Cao Xingzhou, at least with Cheng Xue's current level, he is not qualified to eat it.

Although the establishment of the hierarchical system made the members of the base divided into grades, people of different grades enjoy completely different treatment.

But no one thinks this is wrong.

It is extremely fair to enjoy the treatment according to the contribution made.

What's more, according to the current hierarchical treatment system established by the Suguang Base, even the lowest-level ordinary members can enjoy daily food and drinking water, which is still enough to make the survivors in the shanty towns outside the base extremely envious.

In the case of meeting your own daily needs, there will also be a lot of redundancy, which can be used to meet some other needs.

"I'm recovering from an injury, and I need to control my food intake, otherwise, the recovery of the injury will be affected. So from today onwards, I will only eat breakfast and dinner. For lunch... you can eat it for me."

Cao Xingzhou said expressionlessly.

"Ah? How can this work? Only you five ministers can eat eggs. If I eat them, I will break the rules."

Cheng Xue was taken aback and hurriedly shook her head.

"How to use our daily quota is completely up to us. If I let you eat, of course you can eat."

Cao Xingzhou said calmly.

"No, no, eggs are too precious. There is no way to produce this thing now, and I don't know how the boss got so many precious eggs. But no matter how many eggs the boss prepared, eggs are definitely Eat one and lose one. Now those alienated chickens don’t lay eggs at all.”

Cheng Xue shook her head like a rattle, and continued: "Anyway, this is your lunch, you should eat some. If you don't want to eat, then you can save it until evening. Training these newcomers every day is already very hard. If you are injured again, if you are still so careless, what should you do if your body collapses?"

Cao Xingzhou couldn't help showing helplessness, and said: "I am an evolutionary. Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to want to die, so how can I collapse casually? Eat it quickly, the taste of eggs is still good, I I can hear your stomach growling."

Cheng Xue blushed immediately, lowered her head slightly, and murmured: "I'm already full at noon..."

"Then eat some more. Doctor He said before that the naturally awakened enhanced person consumes more energy than the enhanced person awakened through potion, so it doesn't matter if you eat more."

Cao Xingzhou opened his mouth and said.

Cheng Xue bit her lip, and crouched beside Cao Xingzhou with the rice bowl in her hand, then lowered her head and started to eat.

She is indeed full.

But the smell of eggs still gave her ample appetite.

Before entering the Dawn Base, she suffered from hunger, so she had almost no resistance to the enjoyment of being able to swallow food into her stomach.

And after the natural awakening, her body's ability to absorb food has also been greatly enhanced.

As long as she is willing, the speed at which the stomach sac digests food will have an incredible increase, making her hungry again from a full state.

Of course, this approach is mainly to allow the body to store more energy in advance, so there is a limit to the number of times.

Chapter 5 Love in the Wasteland World

While squatting on the ground and eating fried rice with eggs in the basin, Cheng Xue peeked at the man who was still standing beside him like a javelin.

Although this posture of squatting and eating is very unsightly, but in this wasteland, it is already a great fortune to have something to eat. Who cares about the appearance of eating?

Etiquette can be known only when the warehouse is solid, and honor and disgrace can only be known when there is enough food and clothing. Human beings always need to give priority to satisfying their own needs for survival, and then they can continue to improve on the spiritual level.

Feeling the smooth and tender taste of the egg being crushed between her lips and teeth, and smelling the tangy aroma of egg fried rice, Cheng Xue's eyes were moist, and she was so moved that she wanted to cry.

Once upon a time, she felt that she was dead.

Although the body is still alive, and the instinct of survival makes her want to continue to live no matter what.

But mentally dead.
