National destiny survival: I am weak and rely on luck to fly

Considering that he had some important business to attend to and it would be inappropriate to run around with a child, Li Hu took the initiative to invite Liu Xinyue to his house to play for a while.

It just so happened that the son at home was about the same age as Liu Xinyue, and was at the age when he loved making friends. He also said that Liu Xinyue would stay in this shelter in the future anyway, so the two children could get to know each other.

Shen Nan strongly agreed with Li Hu's suggestion. It would be boring to follow them. It would be better for him to play with people of the same age.

In the end, Li Hu took Liu Xinyue back to his home, while Qiao Baiyang brought Ren Linhe and Shen Nan to Director Wan's office.

Although the office is simple, the maps hanging on the wall and the neatly arranged documents on the desk show the importance Director Wan attaches to the management of the shelter.

After knocking on the door and getting permission, Qiao Baiyang entered first, followed by Ren Linhe and Shen Nan.

Director Wan was busy with documents, which contained a list of casualties and lost materials, each of which weighed heavily on his mind.

Seeing Qiao Baiyang coming in, Director Wan immediately stood up with a smile on his face, "Captain Qiao is here, it's really thanks to you, if you hadn't arrived in time, my Qianling Shelter would have been..."

Director Wan was interrupted by Qiao Baiyang before he could finish his words.

"Director Wan, we were able to find the secondary mutant so quickly and hunt him down thanks to the help of these two people." Qiao Baiyang introduced them as he spoke: "This is Ren Linhe, and this is Shen Nan."

Upon hearing this, Director Wan immediately extended his hands to Ren Linhe and Shen Nan, expressing his welcome and gratitude. "Thank you so much, both of you. Our shelter can survive today's zombie wave, all thanks to your help. If you need anything, just let me know. I, Wan, will do my best to help you."

Ren Linhe nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Director Wan, I came here this time to ask for help with something. It's about the people who were unfortunately infected by zombies and quarantined this time."

When this matter was mentioned, Director Wan's expression couldn't help but dim a little.

Although the shelter repelled the zombie tide this time, it also suffered heavy casualties.

Especially the main members of the patrol and expedition teams, in order to hold the defense points and prevent the zombies from entering the air-raid shelters, many of them were infected with the virus.

Once bitten by a zombie, an ordinary person will develop a disease within 6 to 12 hours and become a zombie.

Even if a person has special abilities, if he is bitten or scratched by a zombie, even if he does not develop any disease, he will enter a period of weakness.

"Mr. Ren, you know, once you are infected, it is almost equivalent to a death sentence..."

Ren Linhe did not back down. "I know this situation, but I have a way to save them. I just need to try it."

Qiao Baiyang and Director Wan were shocked when they heard this. In their opinion, being infected by the zombie virus is an incurable terminal illness.

Although they both didn't quite believe it, Director Wan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Since Mr. Ren has a way, we are naturally willing to try. If we can really save them, it will be a great thing for us humans."

Qiao Boyang also agreed, "That's right. There's nothing to lose by trying it out. Brother Ren, please let me know if you need anything."

Ren Linhe: "All we need is a few patients infected by zombies and a quiet and soundproof room."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

Director Wan called his assistant to inquire about the situation and learned that the infected people were being sent to the quarantine area. He immediately ordered all actions to be stopped and wait for him to go there personally to deal with it.

The so-called quarantine zone is actually a land shrouded in despair. All people infected with the zombie virus will be sent here and then "cleared".

After instructing the quarantine area to make preparations, Director Wan personally led Ren Linhe and Shen Nan to the quarantine area.

Director Wan hurried to the isolation area with Ren Linhe, Shen Nan and Qiao Baiyang.

The environment here seems particularly depressing, surrounded by high walls with only a heavy iron door as the entrance.

In the isolation area, several staff members in protective clothing were busy, with sadness and heaviness in their eyes.

When the manager saw Director Wan coming in person, he immediately stepped forward and reported that everything was ready.

Director Wan nodded, and under the guidance of the management staff, several people came to the door of a room that had been prepared in advance.

Ren Linhe turned to Director Wan and said, "Director Wan, please make sure no one enters this room during the treatment, otherwise it may affect the effectiveness of the treatment."

It won't really have any impact, it's just that racial abilities need to be kept secret and we don't want anyone to know about them.

Director Wan nodded solemnly, and then said to the staff around him: "From now on, this room is a restricted area. No one is allowed to approach without my order."

The staff members dispersed one after another, leaving only Director Wan and Qiao Baiyang guarding the door. Ren Linhe pushed the door open and walked in with Shen Nan.

The three infected people in the room were tied to small iron beds. In order to prevent them from hurting themselves or others during the infection, their mouths were stuffed with cloth strips and their bodies were fixed to the beds with strong ropes.

When they saw the person coming, the three people who had no idea what was going on had fear in their eyes and their mouths stuffed with cloth strips made unintelligible humming sounds.

Ren Linhe quickly stepped forward and struck each of them with a knife, knocking them out physically.

When Shen Nan saw what Ren Linhe did, he was unable to react for a moment and just stared at Ren Linhe blankly.

Ren Linhe explained: "Racial abilities cannot be revealed."

"After the treatment, if someone asks us what method was used, what should we say?" Shen Nan asked.

"Healing ability."

Shen Nan was surprised when he heard this: "Yes, why didn't I think of it."

Ren Linhe patted Shen Nan on the shoulder and said softly, "Go and try. I believe in you."

Shen Nan nodded. This was his first time using the mermaid racial ability, and he felt a little nervous and excited.

He slowly walked towards the first infected person, concentrating on feeling the energy in his body, placed one hand gently on the infected person's wrist, and began to use his racial abilities.

Because it was the first time to use racial abilities, the process was not particularly smooth. He didn't know how to specify the target person, so Shen Nan stretched out a hand and placed it on the infected person's wrist to select the target.

After a moment, Shen Nan's mouth did not move, but an ethereal and melodious chant came out, as if it was the harmony of the ocean and the wind, the sound was pure and magical.

A warm light slowly enveloped the infected person. Wherever the light touched, the infected person's skin began to gradually return to normal, and the wounds eaten by the virus also began to heal.

Shen Nan could feel that the virus was being dispelled by his ability, and the vitality of the infected people was slowly recovering.

This process lasted less than a minute, and Shen Nan felt a little tired.

[System prompt: Treat 1 indigenous people infected by the virus, and obtain 1 interstellar passes]

Seeing the system prompt, Shen Nan did not stop and continued to treat the second and third infected people.

Director Wan and Qiao Baiyang outside were waiting anxiously. Although they knew that such a thing would never happen, they still held a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

They didn't know whether the treatment inside was going smoothly and could only hear a short whisper occasionally, but they were willing to give Ren Linghe and Shen Nan the greatest trust and support.

Because they know that if this treatment is successful, it will be a huge breakthrough for humanity in the fight against the zombie virus.

In such a tense atmosphere, in less than five minutes from the time he entered the room, Shen Nan had completed the treatment of the three infected people.

[System prompt: Treat 3 indigenous people infected by the virus, and obtain 3 interstellar passes]

Ren Linhe stepped forward to support Shen Nan, and asked caringly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Shen Nan shook his head gently: "I'm not feeling uncomfortable, just a little tired, I'll be fine after a rest."

At the same time, he felt a little disappointed. Although the use of racial abilities did not have a cooldown time like the skills released by characters in the game, using the ability three times in a row in a short period of time made Shen Nan feel mentally exhausted. It seemed that this ability could not allow him to use it continuously.

There are nearly three thousand people infected with the virus in the entire quarantine area, and the treatment time is less than six hours. Shen Nan doesn't know if he can complete this task.

Ren Linhe was supporting Shen Nan and had the same thought in mind. He consoled her, "It's okay. Treat as much as you can. Don't let yourself get hurt."

"Yeah, I know."

Ren Linhe took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, unscrewed it and handed it to Shen Nan, "Drink some water first and rest for a while."

Shen Nan took the mineral water and took a few sips.

The two rested in the room for a while before opening the door and going out.

The door slowly opened, and Ren Linhe and Shen Nan walked out.

Director Wan and Qiao Boyang saw the two people come out so quickly. Shen Nan had a tired look on his face. He thought that the people infected by the virus in the room had developed premature symptoms, so he hurried forward to ask: "What happened? Are you not injured?"

Shen Nan shook his head, and Ren Linhe said, "The three infected people in the room have been successfully treated. Send someone in to take a look."

Upon hearing this, Director Wan and Qiao Boyang's eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief.

"I'll go take a look." Qiao Baiyang entered the room first, followed closely by Director Wan.

When they arrived at the room, they saw three infected people who were originally thought to be beyond cure, now lying quietly on the bed. Although they were still in a coma, it seemed that the wounds they had been bitten by zombies had healed as before, with no signs of disease.

Director Wan looked at the three infected people on the bed excitedly and said, "All right, they are all healed now. Even the wounds have healed. It's amazing. If this method can be promoted, then there will be hope for us humans!"

Qiao Boyang was also very excited, "Brother Ren, you have done a great deed. This is a historic moment that will go down in history!"

The zombie virus had only been spreading around the world for a year. Watching the people around him die one by one, everyone had given up any hope. Unexpectedly, Qiao Baiyang witnessed a miracle today.

Ren Linhe did not take up the topic, but instead said, "I believe you all have questions, that is, how the infected were successfully treated."

Seeing Ren Linhe's frankness, the two of them honestly admitted that after all, this technology that can save the lives of all mankind, everyone wants to hold it in their own hands.

But Ren Linhe's next words poured cold water on their excited hearts.

"There is no technology that can cure the zombie virus because Nan Nan has awakened her healing ability. This ability can remove the zombie virus from the infected person's body, but it does not produce antibodies. If this person is infected with the zombie virus again, the disease will still occur."

Since Ren Linhe dared to say this, he must be confident in his own strength. Even if he encounters a person with superpowers, he has the ability to protect Shen Nan.

"And using healing abilities consumes a lot of energy, so we don't know how many people we can treat before the infected become fully ill."

Hearing this, Director Wan's excited heart calmed down instantly. He thought he had found a way to solve the zombie virus, but he didn't expect it to be just a drop in the bucket.

But he was not disappointed. Since a healing power appeared, there would be a second and a third one.

Ren Linhe continued, "We will still do our best and save as many people as possible. Director Wan, please arrange for those who need subsequent treatment first."

If it is impossible to treat everyone, then whoever gets treatment first will have a chance of survival.

Director Wan called his assistant without any hesitation and gave priority to treating the infected people in the patrol and expedition teams.

Patrols and expeditions are the foundation of his Qianling Shelter. In addition to people with special powers, the long-term survival of the shelter also depends on the maintenance of ordinary people who do not have special powers but dare to fight zombies.

Qiao Boyang's frown relaxed and he took out a handful of thumb-sized white and green crystals from his pocket.

Shen Nan saw the crystal that was suddenly handed to him and asked in confusion: "This, is this for me?"

Qiao Boyang nodded.

Shen Nan took the crystal curiously, and when he touched the crystals, he received a system prompt.

[System prompt: You have 1 level 1000 crystal stone, which can be exchanged for crystal stones. Do you want to exchange it? ]

[System prompt: You have 8 first-level crystals, which can be exchanged for 800 crystals. Do you want to exchange? ]

Shen Nan concealed the surprise in his eyes and handed a crystal to Ren Linhe.

Ren Linhe naturally also saw the system prompt.

Seeing that the two seemed to have never seen a crystal stone, Qiao Boyang asked, "Brother Ren and Xiaonan both became supernatural beings naturally, right? It seems that you don't know much about these things."

There are two ways to become a superpower. The first is to be like them, without relying on external things, and suddenly awaken and become a superpower one day.

The second way is to absorb the energy in the crystal, which may awaken you into a mutant, but this process is very dangerous and the success rate is very low. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger.

Qiao Baiyang didn't become suspicious because not every zombie can produce crystals in their brains.

Perhaps crystals can only form after a long period of accumulation and mutation in the zombie's brain.

When the zombie virus first broke out, no one discovered the crystal, and it only began to spread slowly in recent months.

If someone doesn't know this news, after killing zombies, will he search their brains one by one to see if there are any treasures?

Qiao Boyang explained: "These crystals are taken from the zombies' brains. They contain a special energy. For us psychics, absorbing these crystals can quickly replenish our psychics and help us recover our strength in battle."
