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

Chapter 610 Zombie Civil War
"Huh? You guys haven't set off yet?"

After Wang Tao and his team returned to the base, they went directly to the Hope Institute. When Qu Shilin saw them, she was immediately surprised.

Didn't Wang Tao say he was going out today? It's already evening, why haven't they left yet?

Seeing Qu Shilin's confusion, Wang Tao burst into laughter.

"We're back."

"Uh... I thought you guys would be resting outside!"

Qu Shilin scratched her head. She thought Wang Tao and others came back to rest.

Wang Tao didn't say anything else, but directly handed the research data on the ancestral virus he had just obtained to Qu Shilin.

"This is..." After Qu Shilin took it, he casually turned a page, and then immediately got stuck.

Swish--

She eagerly but gently turned a few pages back. After confirming that this was indeed what she was looking for, Qu Shilin was so excited that her body trembled. She quickly looked at Wang Tao, fearing that she was dreaming.

"This, this is some data of the Progenitor Virus!"

"It seems we found the right one."

Wang Tao smiled and shrugged, and Ding Yuqin and others also smiled.

Qu Shilin's confirmation also made them feel relieved. After all, they were not professionals and could not guarantee that this was 100% research data on the Progenitor virus.

"Oh my God! You guys finally found it! And compared to the information you gave me before, this information is studied from a completely different angle, and there is almost no overlap between the two information! This is exactly what I urgently need now... Oh my God..."

Qu Shilin was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

Although she had asked Wang Tao to help find these things before, she didn't hold out too much hope. She thought that if she could find them, she would be thankful, and if she couldn't find them, it didn't matter... But she didn't expect that Wang Tao really found them, and he found them on the first day he went out!
This is a good sign! Maybe she will be able to develop a drug to cure the zombie virus soon!

"Please sit wherever you like. Don't leave yet. I need to verify this information!"

After Qu Shilin got excited, he quickly greeted everyone and rushed directly into the laboratory.

Wang Tao shrugged, and then they waited for more than ten minutes before Qu Shilin came out of the laboratory.

"Finally confirmed, the information is fine!"

Qu Shilin couldn't hide the smile on her face at all.

"That's good. We'll go back first."

Wang Tao stood up but was stopped by Qu Shilin.

"Wait, can you tell me who compiled this information? It doesn't say anything here..."

"Oh, this person's name is Wang Jing..."

Wang Tao briefly recounted what had happened before, including how the overlord zombie evolved into a disaster zombie after eating Wang Jing's corpse.

After listening to what Wang Tao said, Qu Shilin opened her mouth. She was obviously confused as well. Her thoughts were the same as Wang Tao's before - she didn't expect that this could evolve?
"Wang Jing...I will write his name on the future antidote for the zombie virus!"

Qu Shilin clenched his fists and said.

"Hmm? Have you been able to develop an antidote?"

Wang Tao was suddenly a little surprised.

"Well, not yet. I have to study this information carefully and do some experiments first, then I will know if I have a chance to develop an antidote for the zombie virus..." Qu Shilin shook his head first, then said firmly, "But from the current perspective, there is a great chance! I won't sleep tonight and work overtime to see if it works. I'll give you news tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, and we'll go back first."

Wang Tao smiled and patted Qu Shilin on the shoulder.

"Okay, I won't see you off. I have to hurry up and do my research." Qu Shilin immediately went back into the laboratory.

"What a workaholic..."

Wang Tao smiled and returned home with everyone.

When entering the door, Lan Yulian suddenly said:

"Wang Tao, if we really develop an antidote to the zombie virus, we can turn all the zombies out there back into humans. If we kill zombies now... wouldn't that be the same as killing humans?"

These words made everyone pause for a moment.

This logic... sounds like it makes sense?

Wang Tao was also stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

"Not to mention that zombies nowadays are not equal to humans at all. If you don't kill zombies, they will kill you, so you have to kill them!"

"And even if Qu Shilin can research an antidote, it shouldn't be possible to turn zombies that have been mutating for more than a year into humans, right? If it is possible, then this is not an antidote, but a miracle drug!"

"Let's take a step back and say that even if this antidote is really that powerful and can turn all these zombies into humans, everything has a price, and the antidote must have certain limitations. I guess the biggest limitation is that the raw materials are relatively expensive, and it is impossible to produce too much antidote at one time. And there are at least billions of zombies in the world. If you want to transform all these zombies into humans, how many potions will it take..."

"So, you might be a little too optimistic."

"..."

After listening to Wang Tao's words, Lan Yulian opened her mouth. She felt that Wang Tao's words made sense. Maybe it was because she saw Qu Shilin so excited today, as if she could develop an antidote right away, that she was indeed a little optimistic.

"You are still too kind!"

Wang Tao smiled and pinched Lan Yulian's little face.

But as a nanny, it is normal to be kind.

"I hope Shilin can really develop an antidote..."

Lan Yulian held Wang Tao's hand.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Wang Tao had just gotten up when Qu Shilin sent him a voice message.

"Wang Tao! Are you awake? I've been busy all night and have some preliminary research results!"

After hearing these words, Wang Tao didn't even have time to eat. He just packed up his food and ate it on the way to the research institute. He also brought one portion for Qu Shilin.

"Wow! You even brought me breakfast, thank you!"

In the research institute, Qu Shilin saw the breakfast and thanked happily.

Although the institute also has breakfast, the quality is not as good as Wang Tao's home. When she is free, if there is someone at Wang Tao's home, she likes to come to Wang Tao's home for a free meal.

While eating breakfast, Qu Shilin looked at Wang Tao and his group and said:
"After a night of research, I have come to two conclusions. One conclusion is good news, and the other is also good news, but not as good... So, which one do you want to hear first?" "Of course it's good news!"

Wang Tao spoke without thinking.

"The good news is that I am now 100% sure that using this data from the original virus research, we can create an antidote for the zombie virus!"

Qu Shilin clenched her fists tightly.

"Niu beep!"

Everyone was very happy to hear this. If they could really find an antidote, then the biggest threat to humans from zombies would be gone!

"But I have to tell you something. This antidote to the zombie virus I'm talking about is, to be precise, a serum that can resist the zombie virus. It can't transform those zombies that have already mutated into humans, but after being injected with the serum, humans can be immune to the infection of the zombie virus..."

After Qu Shilin finished speaking, Wang Tao and his group looked at each other.

They also discussed yesterday that if the antidote can turn the zombies outside back into humans, then whether killing the zombies now would be considered murder.

After listening to Qu Shilin's explanation, there is no doubt - killing zombies is not the same as killing people, because people who become zombies cannot become humans again! This serum plays a preventive role...

"Is this the bad news?"

Wang Tao asked.

He thought this news was good news, which could avoid many problems regarding human relations. If the zombies outside could really be turned back into humans, it might be troublesome in the future. After all, who doesn't have a few relatives and friends? Everyone wants their relatives who have turned into zombies to turn back into humans.

And there must be some kind, compassionate and even saintly people among humans. If they think that the zombies outside are also human beings and want to rescue them, something might happen that harms the interests of normal humans...

So, unless all the zombies in the world can be turned back into humans in an instant, this would indeed be a great thing.

Otherwise, to some extent, it is a good thing that the zombies outside cannot transform into humans...

But to Wang Tao's surprise, Qu Shilin shook his head.

"No, what I just said was the good news. The not-so-good news is..." Qu Shilin glanced at Wang Tao, looking a little embarrassed. "The data on the Progenitor virus is not enough to produce the zombie virus serum..."

"...You mean, I still have to continue looking for research data on the Progenitor Virus, right?"

"Ok!"

"…Then this is indeed not good news."

Wang Tao smiled helplessly.

Seeing Qu Shilin's expression just now, he thought that they would be able to develop the zombie virus serum soon. However, Qu Shilin told him that the information was not enough and he had to keep looking.

Well, all my previous happiness was in vain. As long as there is not enough information about the Progenitor Virus, the good news that Qu Shilin mentioned before is almost equivalent to nothing.

"Ahem, although I still have to trouble you to continue looking for the Progenitor virus data, I can clearly assure you that if I can find data similar to yesterday's volume and without too many duplicates in the future, I will need about 4 more copies to piece together a complete Progenitor virus data! By then, I will be % able to develop the zombie virus serum!"

"..."

Looking at Qu Shilin, who was patting his chest with a confident look on his face, Wang Tao was speechless.

What she meant was that she needed data similar to yesterday's volume with no duplication in the content. In other words, if the volume is large and the data is not repeated, then maybe only one copy of the data is enough. However, if you are unlucky and find duplicate data, then there is no limit...

But as Qu Shilin said, this is not bad news, at most it is not so good news. Because Wang Tao can at least see the progress bar. If he is lucky, he may find it in one go.

"Okay, I'll keep looking."

Wang Tao nodded.

Even if he didn't look for the data of the original virus, he would go out to hunt zombies. He had to prepare for his promotion to the seventh level.

The disaster-level zombie yesterday did not have any primary law power in its body, and it was a hard job to gather 100% of the primary law power. He would hunt a large number of level zombies and try to meet the six basic conditions required for promotion to level . Hunting zombies and searching for the data of the ancestor virus were both convenient, so they could be done together.

"Thank you very much!"

Qu Shilin felt that this was causing trouble for Wang Tao and was quite embarrassed.

"I'm not just helping you, I'm also helping everyone and myself."

Wang Tao chatted with Qu Shilin for a while, then stood up and said to everyone:
"Then let's go to our second destination."

The awakening fruit is not ripe yet. Wang Tao plans to go to the planned destination first to see if he can have as good luck as yesterday and find a research data on the ancestral virus.

"it is good!"

"Be careful on the road and pay attention to safety!"

"We will."

After saying goodbye to Qu Shilin, the group boarded the golden eagle and left the Changhe base again.

"The temperature is warming up very quickly!"

The moment they passed through the barrier, they felt the change in temperature outside. Although it was still not comparable to the temperature inside the barrier, it was at least two or three degrees warmer than yesterday.

"At this rate, it will probably take a few days for the temperature to return to the most suitable 25 or 26 degrees for humans, right?"

"Could it be because of the heavy rain? As the saying goes, 'It's not cold when it snows, but it's cold when the snow melts.' Just when the snow was beginning to melt, a sudden corrosive rain melted all the snow. Now there's not even a bit of snow outside, so it's not that cold anymore, and the temperature is rising quickly..."

"Makes sense!"

Everyone chatted and laughed all the way as they headed towards their second destination.

On the way, the golden eagle did not fly too fast, and everyone stared at the ground carefully to see if there were any sixth-level lords.

After the heavy snow stopped and a corrosive acid rain fell, there were obviously many more zombies on the ground, and their levels were not low. You could see level 5 and level 6 zombies everywhere. But most of them were ordinary and elite zombies, and level 6 zombies were still very scarce.

However, this does not mean that there are few level-6 Overlord zombies. Based on past experience, since level-6 ordinary zombies and level-6 elite zombies have appeared in large numbers, the level-6 Overlords must have appeared earlier, and their number is definitely not small!
The reason why Wang Tao and his friends have rarely encountered the sixth-level lord is probably because the sixth-level lord zombie is hiding in some corner and secretly summoning other zombies!
Generally, there will only be one lord zombie in a certain range, unless there are higher-level zombies suppressing them, otherwise, these lord zombies will fight for territory. Currently, the seventh-level zombies have not appeared yet, and the disaster-level zombies are not sociable... Then there are no other zombies that can suppress the sixth-level lord zombies, and these sixth-level lord zombies will fight for territory.

Since they are lords, they certainly cannot fight alone, so Wang Tao has reason to speculate that those sixth-level lord zombies are most likely recruiting younger brothers to expand their own team so that they can fight for territory...

Just when Wang Tao told others his guess, the golden eagle suddenly cried out.

"Hmm? There are level six lord zombies in the distance, more than one, and they are fighting? Come on, come on, join in the fun!"

chirp——

The golden eagle responded and immediately flew away.

Wang Tao and his friends' eyesight was far worse than that of the golden eagle. The golden eagle's eyes were like telescopes. After a moment, everyone finally found the zombies it was talking about.

There are a total of three sixth-level lord zombies on the ground, each leading a large number of other zombies to form a zombie army.

At this time, the zombies from the three zombie legions were all fighting, and the scene was somewhat chaotic.
