The news of building 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.

Now, everyone in the entire trading market knew about it.

The survivors are excited!
They rushed to Building No. 3 in the North District to queue up to participate.

But when they arrived outside Building No. 3 in the North District, they found that the place was already crowded.

The crowd was bustling and the number of people queuing had already exceeded ten thousand.

This made many people who rushed here sigh and regret, wishing they had known the news earlier. They had missed another good opportunity to earn points.

Because there were so many people jammed here, Li Zhengping and his team sent more than a hundred patrol members to maintain order here.

But more and more people are coming here, and the pressure to maintain order is very high.

Li Zhengping looked at the crowded team with a frown on his face, as more people were coming from behind.

Do we have to wait until tomorrow morning to start registration? Li Zhengping felt that this couldn't go on any longer.

He hurried to the North District Administration Building, found Lao Huang and Ding Meng and said:
"Manager Huang, why do we have to wait until tomorrow to start? Building No. 3 is packed with people right now. I suggest that we start signing up for the physical examination today!"

Old 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 the matter?" Old Huang stopped discussing with Xie Changshan after seeing Li Zhengping.

Li Zhengping walked to the window and said to them:

"You'll know when you come and see."

Old Huang and Xie Changshan looked at each other, stood up and walked to the window, and Li Zhengping opened the window.

wow——

There was a lot of noise outside, and the noise instantly poured into the room.

The administrative building is also in the North District, just one building away from Building No. 3.

But now the survivors who have registered have filled the area outside Building No. 3, and are even queuing outside the administrative building.

There were three winding lines, and people were everywhere.

"There are too many people. There is no need to wait until tomorrow to start registration and inspection. I think we can start today." Li Zhengping added.

"I told Director Luo that it will start tomorrow, but..."

Old Huang looked at the crowded crowd outside, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression, and continued:
"But as you said, there's no need to wait until tomorrow. I'll talk to Ding Meng, who's in charge of recruitment, and have him start recruiting today."

"Well, hold on tight. It's too dangerous for so many people to gather in one place. A stampede may easily happen." After Li Zhengping said this, he hurried away.

soon.

After Ding Meng received the message, he immediately opened the recruitment window.

And start the registration and selection process.

He Liangwei and others who were the first group to run over to line up were very relieved when they saw the people in front of them move.

"You see, they must have seen so many people and started registering in advance. Fortunately, we came early. If we wait until tomorrow, we would definitely miss the chance." He Liangwei said with a smile.

Zhang Meng nodded: "Yes, it seems we can seize this opportunity again this time!"

Building No. 10 in the North District is not far from here.

prison.

Lao Luo was watching Jing Dagan and Hong Gongcao using the radio to contact the Northwest boss.

Let them report to the Northwest based on the information provided by Oil City.

The key point is to tell the Northwest bosses that there are not many changes in the trading market, reduce the bosses' fear of the Oil City, and at the same time, lure the bosses to send more spies over.

Hong Gongcao was already very experienced 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 you can send more reinforcements. In time, we will definitely be able to take over the Oil City!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately looked at Jing Dagan.

Jing Dagan looked at the manuscript in his hand, followed the instructions on it, and added:

"Recently, due to the lack of water in Oil City, three riots broke out in the trading market. They were later suppressed by the Oil City management staff. 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:
"Well, 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 Dagan nodded vigorously, holding the manuscript in his hand, and asked nervously:

"Um, can I regain my freedom like Hong Gongcao?"

As part of the second batch of spies sent from the Northwest, Jing Dagan was directly trapped by Hong Gongcao and imprisoned in the trading market.

At first, he would rather die than surrender.

So the headquarters base sent a big gun to conduct a routine interrogation, and one day later Jing Dagan completely figured it out.

Agree to betray the Northwest and cooperate with Oil City.

From then on, he cooperated with Hong Gongcao and Gao Zhao to report the false news about Oil City to the boss.

However, since he had been imprisoned, he was completely different from Hong Gongcao and others who were able to move freely.

Hong Gongcao is a special case in the trading market. He has a leisurely job and receives point subsidies from the Oil City.

The bustling commercial district made him sink.

For him, life in this trading bazaar was almost the same as before the end of the world, and he liked this kind of life.

After get off work every day, I would play mahjong with Gao Zhao and others in the dormitory, go shopping in the commercial district at night, and go to Tingfeng Tower once a week to meet my needs.

When he needs to report leave to his boss, he can take a day off from work and still get the points.

In fact, he recently found a young girlfriend in the building next door and started dating her.

It was a wonderful little life.

In comparison, Jing Dagan has been locked up in prison, facing the iron bars all day long, singing Tears Behind Bars, which is much more miserable.

After hearing his request, Lao Luo thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but you can't leave the trading market. In addition, we will give you a job in a wooden furniture factory. Like Hong Gongcao, you can receive points."

Jing Dagan was excited when he heard this.

"Thank you. I will definitely behave well."

He really didn't want to stay in this dark prison.

When he passed by Xu Zhi and Liu Hong's cells, he almost didn't recognize them.

The two men had been locked up in the dungeon for a long time, and their hair was unkempt, their faces were dazed, and their minds were somewhat confused.

For Oil City, each of these spies from the northwest is registered and under close scrutiny, and they are unable to leave the trading market.

Since they are willing to cooperate, 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, he put down the headset, stood up and walked to the window.

Looking at the Qilian Snow Mountain in the distance and the gray sky, the Qilian Snow Mountain does not look very real.

"Mingfei, go to Zhangshi's farm in person tomorrow. I don't believe what Zhou Songming said." The boss said lightly, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Zhao Mingfei, who had been sitting in the corner without saying a word, immediately stepped forward after hearing the boss's words.

"Yes, sir."

He succeeded Xu Zhi and served as a secretary to a big boss.

Xu Zhi never came back since he went to the northern border, which gave him an opportunity to become a celebrity around the big boss.

But he did it with some trepidation, as he couldn't guess what the boss was thinking.

The boss stood by the window for a while, rubbed his eyebrows and said:
"It's a drought right now. Ask Hu Liangjian and his men to find a way to get more snow from the Qilian Mountains. Artificial rainfall is also fine. In any case, we must ensure that the base has enough water."

"When you go to Zhang City tomorrow, don't listen to what Zhou Songming says. Go to the farm and see for yourself how the crops are growing. The farm he is in charge of is our largest grain production base. If there is a problem there, it will have a huge impact on us!"

It was rare for the boss to explain things so clearly, Zhao Mingfei kept it in mind.

He put his hands in front, bowed his waist and said seriously: "Okay, boss, I remember it."

"Well, go down." The boss' voice sounded a little tired.

After Zhao Mingfei left, the boss looked at the gray sky outside. There were thick clouds in the sky, making people feel extremely depressed.

The temperature has dropped again recently, even reaching below zero at night.

"I don't know what this cloud layer will lead to. Alas." The boss sighed.

He asked the experts in the Northwest, but they didn't give a specific and accurate answer. They just said what the thick clouds in the sky might lead to, but no matter what the result was, it would be extremely unfavorable to the Northwest Base.

We have survived the past six years, but every natural disaster is sudden and continuous, which makes people feel helpless.

Wuyuan Mountain.

Twenty-five days have passed since Hu Tian came here to replace Huang Shiyong.

During this period he had been quite cautious and never revealed his crazy ideas, for fear that Ma Laoliu would report them to the Northwest Headquarters.

During these twenty-five days, he gradually got to know Ma Laoliu.

Ma Laoliu had suggested several times that he conduct radical human experiments. At first he thought that Ma Laoliu was testing him, but later he gradually discovered that Ma Laoliu really wanted to do so.

Just what he wanted.

Although he didn't know what Ma Laoliu's purpose was, the two of them had basically the same ideas.

That is, as long as they can develop a zombie vaccine or antidote, they are willing to do it no matter what the cost.

The reason why Ma Laoliu did this was because he wanted to restore his wife, who had turned into a zombie, to sanity, and even to become a human again.

Although this seems completely impossible to ordinary people, restoring his wife to her human form is the only motivation that keeps him alive.

As for Hu Tian, ​​he wanted to become the savior of mankind and gain fame, so that future generations of people would remember his name forever.

As long as he can develop a zombie vaccine, he will become the most respected person in the world.

On the road to success, it is normal for some people to die. As long as he can achieve his goal in the end, he thinks any price he pays is worth it.

This day.

Ma Laoliu came to the zombie research laboratory to find Hu Tian again.

"Hu Tian, ​​have you made any progress in your research?"

This is the 38th time Hu Tian has heard this question this month.

Hu Tian shrugged and said:

"No, judging from the latest vaccine test sent by the Northwest Research Institute, the fundamental problem has not been solved. The core parameters have not been found. We can only test it step by step."

Ma Laoliu's eyebrows twitched, and he said with some displeasure:

"How long will it take if we continue testing like this?"

"According to the experimental standards, we have only tested a one in ten thousand probability. If we are lucky, we should be able to find the core parameters in a few decades, and then make appropriate adjustments," Hu Tian said truthfully.

"Decades?!"

When Ma Laoliu heard this number, he almost fainted.

"I'll be dead in a few decades!"

"Is there no other way? You are such great experts after all, don't always follow the rules. If this direction doesn't work, you can try another direction!"

After hearing this, Hu Tian raised the corners of his mouth and said casually:

“In fact, there are other ways to speed up the research on the core parameters of mutations, find patterns from them, and further develop vaccines.”

"but."

"But what?" Ma Laoliu hurried over and asked with rapid breathing.

After seeing Ma Laoliu's expression, Hu Tian said helplessly:

“However, this method requires large-scale deployment. Normally, we only test a dozen zombies at most in the research institute.

If it is deployed on a large scale in a city with hundreds of thousands of zombies, the test efficiency will be very high, and there is a possibility that mutant zombies will appear. We can capture a large number of mutant zombies, obtain their mutation paths, and then deduce the rules and find the core parameters. "

"If you're lucky, you might be able to achieve an excellent effect directly on a certain zombie and find the core parameters at once."

"So, the more zombies, the better."

When Ma Laoliu heard him say this, he became very excited.

"If you have this method, why didn't you tell me earlier? Go 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 block 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 mutant zombies are uncontrollable and may escape our control at any time."

Hearing this, Ma Laoliu fell silent.

"Then why don't we just find a place and lure all the zombies there? Isn't that enough?"

Hu Tian heard this and said with a smile:

"Sure, if you can do it, we can do it as you said, but the experimental test will take a long time, at least half a month, and maybe two months if it's longer."

“It’s been so long.”

Ma Laoliu's brain was working frantically, and he roughly understood what Hu Tian said.

In fact, it is to release immature vaccines on a large scale into the zombie group.
These immature vaccines may have different effects on different zombies.

Then, some zombies with severe reactions are captured for research and development to improve the vaccine.

But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is unpredictability.

Like a vaccine that was developed before, at the request of Ma Laoliu, after Huang Shiyong added some elements, it was injected into the body of a wall-climbing zombie, causing the wall-climbing zombie to not be afraid of ultraviolet light.

This zombie was trapped in a cage and was killed by Xu Zhi after being seen by him.

This situation may also occur if an immature vaccine is released into a large-scale zombie group.

but
Ma Laoliu's eyes turned cold.

do not care.

Anyway, all he wanted was for his wife to regain her sanity and become human again. Nothing else mattered.

At worst, he would give up Mount Wuyuan. As long as his wife could get better, he was willing to pay any price.

"Can you restore the zombies' consciousness? Can you develop this antidote?" Ma Laoliu asked seriously.

Hu Tian was shocked when he heard this. He had never thought about such a thing.

The most he wanted was to successfully develop a vaccine, inject it into the human body, and then not be infected with the zombie virus and turn into a zombie if bitten by a zombie again.

But after hearing what Ma Laoliu said, he actually wanted to turn the zombies back into humans.

This sounds a bit like a fairy tale.

But after this period of contact, 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 heart.

From the perspective of scientific theory, the antidote that Ma Laoliu mentioned is unlikely.

But who can say for sure? After all, they have found active substances in the bodies of zombies.

In order to win Ma Laoliu's support, Hu Tian nodded seriously:

"Of course! As long as we can research a vaccine, we can also research a zombie antidote!"

Ma Laoliu breathed rapidly and walked over and hugged Hu Tian tightly.

"Okay! Just do it!"

Hu Tian said shyly, "But this method is strictly prohibited by the headquarters base. If we are discovered, it will be over. It's not a good idea. Why don't we apply to the headquarters research institute for it?"

"It's okay! I, Ma Laoliu, dare not say anything in other places, but here in this area near Wuyuan Mountain, I have the final say! I will be responsible if anything happens!" Ma Laoliu let go of Hu Tian and said, patting his chest.

There was a glimmer of excitement in Hu Tian's eyes, but he appeared extremely hesitant.

"No, I'm a little scared."

"Listen to me! I'll protect you!" Ma Laoliu promised.

"I still think we should talk to the headquarters research institute."

"You can't tell me. What if they forbid it? Stop talking nonsense and just do it according to what I just said. Tell me what you want to do next and what you need, and I will prepare it for you." Ma Laoliu became impatient when he saw Hu Tian being coy.

"But."

"No buts! Damn! Let's 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 "threat" of guns, Hu Tian had to agree "reluctantly".

"Oh okay."
