Apocalypse: I rescued the big boss with millions of supplies

Chapter 105

"Take these crystal cores and advance as soon as possible." Long Yangyang distributed all the crystal cores she had purified to Yun Cangshu and the others. "After you reach level five, Brother Cangshu, you can take on some zombie-clearing missions in the vicinity to consolidate your strength."

Yun Cangshu took the crystal core and asked, "Where are you and the boss?"

"We plan to go a bit further and see if we can find even more powerful zombie cores," Long Yangyang replied. As for discussing the base's research institute, Long Yangyang didn't plan to mention it for the time being.

As night fell, Long Yangyang's feathers trembled slightly, and she opened her watery eyes. "Xiao Fei, after I discovered that I have superpowers, I don't feel tired even if I stay up all night."

After the apocalypse began, all entertainment venues were paralyzed, and humanity returned to its daily routine of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. After dark, apart from the patrolling Green Guards and people lingering in the red-light district, there were basically no people in the base.

Long Yangyang looked around the room she had just changed into and thought to herself that she was really destined to be a workaholic. She had just gotten home and hadn't even had a chance to rest all night before having to rush out again.

Long Yangyang teleported to Fu Muyu's room.

"Yangyang?" Fu Muyu sensed a familiar presence, a hint of warmth tinged his otherwise cold voice, "Going out?"

Long Yangyang nodded. She had made a promise with Fu Muyu before that she would take him with her next time she left at night. "Let's go find the Star Origin Fragment."

Star Source Fragments? Fu Muyu had absorbed Star Source Fragments before, so he naturally knew the benefits of this thing for upgrading superpowers. He recalled his mission before the apocalypse.

"Could it be that the base has a research institute studying star source fragments?"

Long Yangyang knew she couldn't hide it from Fu Muyu. "Yes, but we don't know which research institute it is. We'll find out when we go and take a look."

As soon as she finished speaking, Long Yangyang led her people to the location of the Star Source Fragment in the base.

After Long Yangyang landed, she instantly created a spatial shield for the two of them, concealing their figures. Fu Muyu looked at the brightly lit area, his eyes flickering, seemingly lost in thought.

"This is it." After Long Yangyang's spatial ability advanced to level six, she could use her mental power to retrieve objects from a distance. Now at level seven, she is even more skilled at retrieving objects from a distance.

Just as Long Yangyang was about to make a move to steal the Star Origin Fragment, Fu Muyu noticed her action, grabbed her hand, and shook his head at her.

Long Yangyang: ? ? ?

The next second, seven or eight people dressed in white lab coats walked into the brightly lit laboratory. Long Yangyang looked at them, who were fully armed from head to toe, with not a single inch of skin exposed, and wondered what their purpose was in coming in.

"Was it brought in by Subject 2?" the leader asked.

Although Long Yangyang couldn't see the other person's face, she could roughly guess from the voice that the other person was an older person, as the voice had a deep and resonant quality.

"Professor Wang, someone has been arranged to bring him over." Before the person who answered could finish speaking, the laboratory door opened again, and two equally armed men in black pushed in a "person".

Long Yangyang's gaze fell on the novel material of the clothes worn by the man in black. This material seemed very similar to the lapis lazuli at the base's gate. The difference was that it was black and much lighter, making it wearable.

Long Yangyang had heard Wang Dong boast about the material's hardness and how he had even developed a technology to use it in clothing. How come she had never heard of this from her older brother?

Is it because the technology is not yet mature enough to be supplied in large quantities, or is it that the older brother and his colleagues simply do not know that lapis lazuli material can already be used in clothing?

Long Yangyang's attention was entirely focused on her clothes, so she naturally didn't notice the surprised look in Fu Muyu's eyes when his gaze fell on the No. 2 experimental subject on the trolley.

"Has the virus extraction been completed?" Professor Wang's gaze fell on the person on the hospital bed. This experimental subject was simply too perfect.

After the hospital bed was wheeled in, the two fully armed men in black turned and left cleanly and efficiently, showing no curiosity what kind of experiments would be conducted in the laboratory.

Eight researchers methodically surrounded the hospital bed. One of them, upon hearing Professor Wang's words, took out a black syringe and handed it to Professor Wang: "It's already been extracted; it's a level eight zombie virus."

“That’s good. This test subject has already advanced to level seven. Let’s test whether the energy of the meteorite crystal can help the superhuman resist a higher level of zombie virus.”

Then, without trembling, Professor Wang skillfully inserted the virus reagent into the right arm of the second experimental subject.

"Xiao Ding, record the experimental subject's reaction."

"Yes." Xiao Ding turned around and pulled out a seemingly heavy instrument from the unfamiliar instruments on both sides, placing some strange wires onto the experimental subject.

"The temperature is rising rapidly, currently at 39.5°C. I'm breathing rapidly, and my heart rate is starting to decrease," Xiao Ding picked up his pen and began to record.

“Look, there are still bluish-black lines on his right arm,” one of the researchers suddenly said. “It’s a sign of zombification.”

After a while, Long Yangyang didn't know what was happening, but the laboratory instruments suddenly emitted a "beep beep" warning sound, and Long Yangyang suddenly felt a powerful energy fluctuation.

It seems like they're about to advance, but it also seems like they aren't.

"Xiao Fei? Is this situation the same as when I saved Brother Cangshu and Sister Baizhi?" Back then, Long Yangyang used purified crystal cores to try to help the two of them advance in order to resist the zombie virus.

"The energy from the Star Source Fragment is indiscriminate, providing energy to both zombies and superhumans. These researchers, having studied it for so long, must know this."

So, they did it on purpose? Long Yangyang felt there seemed to be something wrong with this lab. "Xiao Fei, do you think this person provided the research data voluntarily?"

"I don't know." Xiao Fei's voice was devoid of any emotion, clearly showing that she didn't care about Long Yangyang's question.

"Ugh—" Long Yangyang looked at the experimental subject on the hospital bed, whose veins suddenly bulged and whose face was contorted in pain. Clearly, the surge of energy within his body had exceeded the limit he could withstand.

"Professor, Subject 2 is exhibiting mental abnormalities. Should we use an ability suppressant?"

This is a level seven ability user. Most of the researchers in their laboratory are ordinary people. If the other party's ability goes out of control, they will surely die.

"Put on your lapis lazuli protective gear." Professor Wang seemed to have anticipated this situation and issued the order methodically. "Don't use the ability suppressor for now. After suppressing his ability, he might not be able to fight the zombie virus. We have too many level eight ability zombie test subjects, so we don't need it for now."

Hearing Professor Wang's words, Long Yangyang felt a chill in her heart. If she remembered correctly, Xiao Fei had said that this laboratory was located in the Qingdu base.

"Enough Level 8 Ability Zombies"—does this mean the Qingdu Base has a lot of Level 8 zombies? How is that possible? A Level 6 Ability Zombie can summon a horde of low-level zombies.

How come the Qingdu Base is completely unaffected by the presence of level eight zombies? Moreover, the number of ability users at the Qingdu Base is so low, yet the base wasn't breached by the zombie horde?
