Doomsday: I can see the health bar, kill monsters and drop treasure.

Chapter 602 The temperature rises
Wang Tao received good news and bad news.

Good news: The snow and wind have stopped, the sun is out, and the temperature is rising.

The bad news: All electronic devices are completely paralyzed. Even cars parked on the road and electronic devices buried in the ground are unusable.

Wang Tao: "..."

The stopping of the snowstorm is naturally great news.

The current low temperature environment makes it very difficult for human survival. When the wind and snow stop, the sun comes out, and the temperature rises, the difficulty of human survival will be much reduced.

As for the paralysis of electronic devices, everyone has actually anticipated it. We know that one day, electronic devices around the world will be completely unusable, but we didn't expect it to happen so soon. So, although this is bad news, it's not that bad...

"No! My information watch is still fine..."

Wang Tao suddenly discovered that the brand new information watch he had just bought a few days ago was still working. There was also a message from Gu Yun on it, but Wang Tao didn't have time to read it carefully. It also said that the snowstorm had stopped and the electronic equipment was paralyzed.

"It seems that it's because of the barrier of the crystal energy poison tree. The electronic equipment inside the barrier is not affected, but all the equipment outside the barrier is unusable..."

Ding Yuqin explained immediately.

"Can this still happen?"

Wang Tao was a little surprised.

He carefully looked at the message sent by Gu Yun, and it was indeed what he said. They had already done the test.

The barrier of the crystal energy poison tree can not only block the low temperature and wind and snow, but also block the mysterious energy that can damage electronic equipment... It's quite powerful!

"Have you ever been in any danger?"

Wang Tao asked with concern.

"Don't worry, we are riding on the mutant wild geese this time, not driving. Even if the electronic devices on our bodies are completely paralyzed, it will not have any impact on us..."

"Then please be careful. I'll go out and see what's going on."

"Okay, be careful too!"

After finishing the call with Ding Yuqin, the sound of brakes was suddenly heard outside.

Wang Tao looked up and saw Qu Shilin walking towards him quickly.

"Good morning!"

Wang Tao smiled and waved his hand.

Qu Shilin trotted over excitedly and said:
"Wang Tao, something big has happened!"

Qu Shilin quickly told Wang Tao that the snow had stopped and the electronic equipment was paralyzed. Although Wang Tao had already heard what Ding Yuqin said, he still listened to Qu Shilin patiently.

After explaining, Qu Shilin took a deep breath and said:
"Can you come with me to take a look? I want to know what it looks like outside!"

According to the rules of Changhe Base, if you want to leave the base, you need to apply. Those with weak combat power cannot go out casually. This includes Qu Shilin.

Although Qu Shilin's level means that she can enter and exit freely in theory, her talent is too important to Changhe Base, but her combat power is very weak... Therefore, the City Hall does not allow such talents to go out alone without someone accompanying them, which is also to protect her.

Of course, Qu Shilin is also quite cautious about her life, and she would not run around unless necessary.

Now that something has changed outside, she really wants to go out and see what is going on. Wang Tao is also at the base, and it is not as safe to go out with anyone else as it is with Wang Tao. So when she woke up and learned the news, she ran to find Wang Tao as soon as possible.

"No problem, but don't worry, have you eaten breakfast?"

Wang Tao helped her smooth her hair and felt that she had just woken up not long ago.

"not yet……"

"Then eat something first."

"also!"

Wang Tao had breakfast here and made one for Qu Shilin.

After eating, Wang Tao called the golden eagle and flew into the sky with Qu Shilin.

There was no change in the Changhe base, everything remained the same.

But when Wang Tao left the barrier, looked at the warm sun above his head and felt the breeze, he instantly felt "warm".

Of course, it wasn't really warm. Even though the snow stopped and the sun came out, the temperature outside was still much lower than inside the base. It was just that Wang Tao had gotten used to the low temperature outside, and the sudden rise in temperature made him feel it very clearly. And most importantly, the feeling of the sun shining directly on his face was really comfortable!
"So comfortable!"

Qu Shilin closed her eyes, raised her head, and opened her arms to absorb the sunlight.

zizi——

But suddenly, both of them heard a crackling sound, and when they looked down, they saw that the information watch was smoking.

Wang Tao: "..."

Qu Shilin: "..."

"I forgot. This thing can't be brought out..."

Wang Tao was a little embarrassed.

Qu Shilin took out several small instruments from the backpack he carried with him. These instruments also started to smoke.

She was also very embarrassed and said:

"Uh... I was planning to use these instruments to test it, but I didn't think it through, so now it's all wasted..."

The two looked at each other and then laughed.

Anyway, it's a good thing that the wind and snow have stopped and the temperature has risen. The loss of some electronic equipment will not have any big impact.

"As I recall, you should be researching small crystal core instruments, right?"

Wang Tao suddenly asked.

He had accidentally discovered before that the reason these electronic instruments were damaged by mysterious forces was not a problem with the instruments themselves, but a problem with the electricity.

As long as there are no batteries in the instrument and it is not powered on, the instrument will not have any problems. So the Hope Institute is trying to find a way to make these instruments use crystal cores as energy. The energy in the crystal core is not electrical energy, and after testing, it is not affected by this mysterious energy. The Hope Institute is studying these things to prevent the situation today.

"I have been researching medicine recently and have paid too much attention to crystal energy. But before I came to see you, I talked to my colleagues and heard that they have made some progress. I guess we will soon see information watches that use crystal cores as energy!"

Qu Shilin replied.

Wang Tao nodded immediately: "That's good! Communication is still indispensable..." While the two were talking, the golden eagle had already landed on the snow outside the base.

Although the wind and snow have stopped, the snow will not melt in a short time.

Wang Tao reached out and touched the ground, and felt that the snow had become much warmer.

The two walked around outside for a while, and because Qu Shilin's equipment was broken, they returned to the base. When Wang Tao sent Qu Shilin to the Hope Institute, Qu Shilin suddenly grabbed Wang Tao's hand.

"what happened?"

Seeing Qu Shilin seeming to want to say something but hesitated, Wang Tao felt a little curious.

"I want to ask you a favor..."

"What's the deal?"

"I told you before that I have also been researching a drug to remove the zombie virus. I have made some progress in this regard, but due to the lack of samples of the 'Progenitor Virus', my research has been stuck..."

"Let me go look for the Progenitor Virus..."

Wang Tao frowned.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to find it, but that he can’t find it.

It has been so long since the end of the world, and the zombie virus has mutated countless times, so there is no way the original virus can be preserved.

"No, it's almost impossible to find the Progenitor virus. What I mean is, when the weather gets warmer, can you help me find some data similar to the Progenitor virus research data you gave me before? As long as I have enough data, I can understand the Progenitor virus, and maybe I can really create an antidote for the zombie virus!"

Qu Shilin looked at Wang Tao with shining eyes.

She has already developed powerful things such as genetic drugs and awakening drugs, and she is now full of confidence. If she can really get those data, she can't say that she can 100% produce zombie virus drugs, but she can definitely produce something useful for humans.

So now she really wants the data of the Progenitor virus. Since Wang Tao can give her a copy, then when the apocalypse broke out, there must be people studying the zombie virus, that is, the Progenitor virus, and maybe there is some data preserved...

She had talked about this matter with Wang Tao before. She said that if she got any information about the Progenitor virus, she would ask Wang Tao to go over and take a look, and Wang Tao agreed.

But now that so much time has passed, let alone news about the Progenitor Virus, there is very little news about humans. So we can’t just sit and wait.

If it was still snowing heavily, she would be embarrassed to bother Wang Tao, after all, the environment was too harsh. But now the snow had stopped, the temperature had risen, and the sun had come out, it should soon be warm outside and suitable for survival. So she wanted Wang Tao to help take the initiative to look for any relevant information left.

"Okay, no problem. I have to go out later anyway, so I'll help you find it then."

"Thank you! Mu Ma~"

Qu Shilin stood on tiptoe with a red face, kissed Wang Tao on the face, and then said:

"Oh, this isn't just a random search. I'll give you maps of major research institutes, laboratories, hospitals, and other places in the country. If there really is any data left, it's likely to be here..."

"can."

Wang Tao smiled and nodded.

Then he followed Qu Shilin to the laboratory and got a detailed map. Qu Shilin had obviously prepared all this.

Wang Tao looked at the map and found that there was a well-known laboratory in the neighboring province.

"Next time you go out, search this laboratory..."

Wang Tao touched his chin and said.

……

The news that the heavy snow had stopped, the temperature had risen, and the sun had come out quickly spread throughout the Changhe base.

Originally, the awakening potion had received the most attention in the past few days, and everyone was discussing how to earn contribution points that could be exchanged for a bottle of awakening potion as quickly as possible.

Now that the sun is out, the discussion about the environment is quickly becoming as heated as the awakening potion.

"Oh my god, I thought I was hallucinating, but the sun really came out! What a warm sun!"

In the square outside the town hall, someone stood in the sun and exclaimed.

His companions laughed.

"I thought this was a high-tech simulation of the sun at the base. I said it was so realistic, but I didn't expect it to be real! Hahahaha!"

"Woo woo woo - I finally see the sun! Praise the sun!"

Some people cried with joy.

Of course, some people did not forget the awakening potion.

"Doesn't this mean that we can go out and earn contribution points?"

Contribution points can also be earned in the base, but it is very difficult to save enough contribution points to buy a bottle of awakening potion, and you may not be able to save it in your lifetime. But if you go out to hunt zombies, search for supplies, etc., you may be lucky enough to save enough in a few days. So if they have the ability, they will definitely choose to go out to gain contribution points.

"It seems so... We didn't dare to go out before, not because we were afraid of zombies. After all, we are also superpowers, so why should we be afraid of zombies? We just can't stay in that harsh low-temperature environment for too long. Now that the snow has stopped, the sun has come out, and the temperature has risen! It shouldn't be long before we can move around outside! By then, we will loot supplies, accumulate enough contribution points, exchange for a bottle of awakening potion, and directly reach the peak of our lives..."

Some people have already started dreaming.

"Although the temperature has risen, there are a lot of zombies outside. Isn't that dangerous?"

Some people also poured cold water on it.

Then someone immediately retorted:
"Hey! I guess you haven't been paying much attention to the situation outside, right? Ever since the heavy snow began, there are fewer and fewer zombies outside. A large number of zombies have been frozen, and only a few have mutated into frozen zombies. It's not easy for us to encounter zombies outside!"

“Uh…” The man raised his hand weakly. “You also said that the zombies outside are frozen. But now the snow has stopped and the temperature has risen, so these zombies will definitely thaw. Then there will be more zombies!”

"..."

Those who had been thinking about going out to earn contribution points were suddenly dumbfounded. This seemed to be nothing wrong...

Someone was about to object, saying that the zombies that were frozen in the ice might have frozen to death long ago, but he thought about it again and decided that he didn't believe it himself.

He had seen how strong the zombies' vitality was. A zombie with only a head left could survive, so how could a frozen zombie die?
Even if some zombies were frozen to death, it would probably be only a small number, and most of the zombies were still alive and well. When the snow outside melts, it will probably be like before the heavy snow, with zombies everywhere!
For ordinary psychics like them, it seems that it is very dangerous whether it is snowing or not!
But if we really want to talk about danger, people generally think that low temperatures are more dangerous. If you encounter zombies, at least you can resist and escape. But if you are frozen to hypothermia, there is no way to resist or escape, you can only wait to die...

So many people secretly clenched their fists, waiting for the news from the city hall. As long as the city hall announced that the temperature outside rose above zero, they could go out! But now all the electronic equipment outside is paralyzed, and the car can't be driven... We have to find a way to make some cars without any electronic products, purely mechanical structures! I heard that there are already factories researching it, and it should be available on the market soon...

Just as people were getting ready to take action, Wang Tao on the other side also thought of this problem.

"Since the temperature has risen, these frozen zombies... should appear, right? Should we organize a zombie hunting operation before they are completely thawed? But there is a problem. No one knows where those zombies are frozen..."
