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

Chapter 695 Zombie Virus Serum

So far, the individual strength of human beings has become very strong, far from the weak chickens at the beginning of the virus outbreak. But humans still have no way to avoid the zombie virus.

Even a seventh-level realm master as strong as Wang Tao might die if he was infected with the zombie virus.

Therefore, the zombie virus is still one of the most serious problems at present. Unless you hide in the base and never go out, but judging from the current situation, whether the base can hold on is still a question. Moreover, the base is not necessarily 100% safe, and the zombie virus is hard to prevent.

Therefore, if we can create zombie virus serum, the problem that has plagued mankind for so long can be solved!

Judging from the research progress of the Hope Institute, the only thing missing from successfully producing the zombie virus serum is the last piece of data on the ancestral virus. If this piece of data can be obtained, the Hope Institute has a 95% or higher chance of producing the zombie virus serum!
The data in front of Wang Tao is most likely the last piece of data on the ancestral virus that the research institute needs!
Of course, Wang Tao was not 100% sure. After all, he didn’t understand these things, and the method of identification was taught to him by Qu Shilin.

Wang Tao looked around. The decoration style of this laboratory was a bit similar to that of the Hope Institute, but it was much simpler.

Many people in white coats were busy, seemingly researching something related to crystal energy.

Wang Tao was not surprised that they could use crystal energy. Qu Shilin had said before that the level of Phoenix Laboratory was not worse than that of Hope Institute, and that Phoenix Laboratory would certainly be able to do the same as Hope Institute could.

However, even though both of them use crystal energy, there are differences in quality. Phoenix Labs is still not as good as Hope Labs in its current research stage. For example, they both manufacture crystal energy cars, but the gap is extremely obvious.

It's not that they are incapable, but a good cook cannot cook without rice. At the Changhe Base, the Hope Research Institute can study the sixth-order crystal core at will, and Wang Tao will send all kinds of good things and strange things to the Hope Research Institute. And here... Looking at the third-order crystal core they are studying, Wang Tao shook his head.

After looking around for a while, Wang Tao came to a woman he liked.

"What is this?"

Wang Tao placed the information he had just taken out of the glass cabinet in front of the woman.

The woman was just about to look into the microscope when she heard Wang Tao's voice. She was so frightened that her hands trembled and she almost dropped the materials in her hands.

It was obvious that the woman was a little angry. She was about to start scolding, but when she looked up, she found a very unfamiliar big guy in front of her.

"Who let you in? Get out now! Don't you know that no one can interrupt us while we're working?"

Wang Tao ignored the angry woman and asked again:

"What is this?"

"..."

The woman was not stupid, and she finally realized something was wrong.

Not to mention that there is security at the entrance of their laboratory, ordinary people can't get in. Even if a stranger sneaks in, his burly figure of more than two meters tall should be visible to anyone who is not so focused, right?

But at this time, her colleagues were still busy with their own things, some were doing experiments, some were communicating, and some were drinking tea, but except for herself, no one looked at this big guy, as if he didn't exist at all!
"You...you are a human or a ghost!"

The woman yelled, her voice trembling and she looked very scared, but she was actually shouting loudly on purpose to warn her colleagues.

But the strange thing was that even though she made such a loud noise, her colleagues acted as if they didn't hear anything and continued to do their own things - not only did her colleagues ignore the big guy in front of them, they also ignored her!

An unprecedented fear instantly surged into the woman's heart. She knew that this was not a ghost, but some kind of awakened ability that isolated other people from their perception. But people are scarier than ghosts! Who knows what the other party's ulterior motives are? Especially this sneaky one, it is obvious that there is something wrong!

However, the woman had personally experienced the zombie virus outbreak, and was able to survive in such a situation, so her mentality was much better than that of ordinary people.

She quickly looked at what Wang Tao was holding, and then said:

"This, this is some data of the initial virus. The initial virus is the virus from the first zombie virus outbreak...but now the zombie virus has mutated into who knows how many versions. This thing has long been useless, and I just kept it for collection..."

Initial virus, ancestral virus, etc., just different names, in fact, they are the same. After the woman confirmed that this thing was the ancestral virus data, Wang Tao put it directly in his pocket.

"Very good, thank you very much. I'll take the things. When there are results, I'll give you some."

After saying that, Wang Tao turned around and left.

"..."

The woman was a little confused. What results could the initial virus produce? This thing has been useless for a long time!
And this person just left like that?
This person almost scared her half to death. She even thought that the Church of Twilight was going to be breached from within by bad guys. But this person just took a souvenir that was of no use and left?
"and many more!"

The woman suddenly shouted out of nowhere.

After shouting this, the woman regretted it. This man of unknown origin was about to leave, and stopping him would be asking for trouble!
"what happened?"

Wang Tao looked back, somewhat confused.

Perhaps because of the Hope Research Institute, although Wang Tao did not have a good impression of the Church of Twilight, he still had a good impression of the Phoenix Laboratory. If this data was in the hands of the bishop, Wang Tao would definitely grab it first, and there was no way he would be so polite.

Seeing that Wang Tao did not do anything radical, the woman had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak:
"…How did you do that?"

As she spoke, she pointed at the colleagues around her who were ignoring Wang Tao.

"It's just a little mental trick, not worth mentioning."

Wang Tao waved his hand.

This is not Wang Tao showing off, it is just a trick. The principle is to interfere with the cognition of creatures within a certain range through mental power, so that they cannot perceive themselves. This ability is only effective for people with weak strength. With Wang Tao's current seventh-level strength, he cannot hide it from the sixth-level, and the fifth-level with keen perception may also find clues. And the group of people in Phoenix Laboratory don't even have a fourth-level person, so it's natural to fool them.

"..."

The woman opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Wang Tao waved his hand at her.

"See you again when you have a chance."

Then Wang Tao walked out with a swagger.

"..."

When Wang Tao's figure completely disappeared from her sight, the woman hurriedly shouted to her colleagues around her.

“Old Li, Old Li, Old Li!”

The bald middle-aged man next to him turned back speechlessly.

"I'm not deaf. I heard you when you called me once... What's wrong?"

"……fine."

The woman was silent for a moment, then shook her head calmly.

The big guy just now was obviously a strong man, and he was probably as strong as the bishop of the Church of Dusk! She should not provoke a strong man of this level, and just pretend that she didn't see anything.

Isn't it just a discarded file? It's not a big deal. Besides, the data in Phoenix Laboratory are all backed up. Just find a backup and put it there later. No one will care whether it is the original copy or not...

After Wang Tao left the Phoenix Research Institute, he did not rush back, but strolled around the headquarters of the Church of Dusk and carefully observed the conditions of the survivors.

It can be seen that the survivors here are basically believers of the Twilight Church. After all, the Twilight Church provides safety, shelter, food, and work... The price is just to make you believe in their religion. This kind of good thing, let alone in the end times, is estimated that there will be people who will continue to do it before the end times.

What surprised Wang Tao was that these survivors did not have any negative effects from taking the "holy medicine" before, and they were all healthy. "Did the Church of Twilight change? Or was it impersonated before? But that doesn't make sense. If someone had the ability to impersonate the Church of Twilight many times in the end times, why would he do it? Wouldn't it be enough to just be yourself..."

Wang Tao really didn't understand.

At this time, Wang Tao suddenly saw an acquaintance in a yard.

"It's really here!"

Wang Tao's figure flashed and appeared next to a woman in a gray robe.

The woman was packing some large pickled fish and was startled by Wang Tao's sudden appearance.

She subconsciously threw the pickled fish in her hand at Wang Tao, then quickly stepped back, took out the dagger hidden at her waist, and was about to shout.

Wang Tao reached out to take the pickled fish, then asked curiously:
"What kind of fish is this? Tuna?"

"……grown ups?"

Zhao Yaru, who was about to shout out loud, held her words back and looked at Wang Tao in disbelief.

Although Wang Tao's body has grown bigger, his appearance, temperament and voice all indicate that this is Wang Tao! The priest who saved their entire Zizhu base!
"Master Priest, it's really you!"

After confirming that this was Wang Tao, Zhao Yaru immediately retracted the dagger and ran to Wang Tao with excitement.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I'm glad to see that you're okay."

Wang Tao smiled and patted Zhao Yaru on the shoulder.

This woman was none other than Zhao Yaru, the leader of the previous Zizhu base.

At that time, they were facing a life-and-death and food crisis. Wang Tao saved their lives, helped them get a lot of food, and saved the lives of the survivors of the entire base. And this Zizhu base happened to be a church of the Twilight Church...

When Wang Tao showed his badge as a senior priest and exposed some of the evil deeds of the Church of Dusk, everyone in the entire Zizhu Base knew that they had trusted the wrong person before. They should not have trusted the bishop. Wang Tao was the orthodox of the Church of Dusk, and they had to trust Wang Tao!

Wang Tao was thinking at the time that he would not suffer any loss anyway, so he could just trust him. It was just to provide shelter, no problem at all. If more people really believed in Wang Tao, it might cause some trouble for the bishop!

In this way, the Zizhu Base was protected by Wang Tao.

When the temperature rose rapidly and the underground air-raid shelter where the Zizhu base was located became uninhabitable, Wang Tao immediately went to see how they were doing. It turned out that all the people from the Zizhu base were gone, and only Zhao Yaru left a message saying that they had gone to the Dusk Church.

Since then, Wang Tao has never seen them again, and he doesn't know whether they are still alive or not. Now that he sees Zhao Yaru and sees that she is still alive and well, Wang Tao is very happy.

"Me too! I'm glad to see you're okay, my Lord!"

Zhao Yaru was excited and happy from the bottom of her heart, but she seemed to have thought of something. She quickly closed the gate of the yard and brought Wang Tao into the house.

"Is everyone else okay?"

Wang Tao asked.

"They are all still alive and well. They were separated after we came here and were assigned to different places. But we have always been in contact, and we occasionally spread your deeds secretly..."

Zhao Yaru explained immediately.

"……That's good."

Hearing that they were all fine, Wang Tao was relieved. As for spreading his deeds, Wang Tao did not take it seriously. With his current strength, he did not think that this bishop was his opponent. After all, from the information he heard from various sources, this bishop had not reached the seventh level.

"By the way, what's going on with this bishop? I noticed that these survivors are in good health. It doesn't look like they have taken any holy medicine..."

Wang Tao asked directly.

Zhao Yaru is one of the few people who knows the true identity of the Holy Medicine of the Twilight Church, so asking others may not reveal the answer, but Zhao Yaru should know something.

Sure enough, Zhao Yaru whispered to Wang Tao:

"Sir, when I came here before, the physical condition of the people here was not very good, just like the state after taking the holy medicine you mentioned! But later, the bishop took out a new version of the holy medicine, and after those people took this holy medicine, their bodies gradually got better! But I don’t know if they are really cured or have other problems, so I have never dared to take the holy medicine, including those people who came from our Zizhu base, they didn’t take it either..."

"I see!"

Wang Tao suddenly realized that it was not someone pretending to be the Church of Twilight. Now it seems to be true.

As for why the bishop made these people healthy again, Zhao Yaru didn't know, anyway, she only knew that these survivors were still taking these holy medicines. Zhao Yaru kept a lot of new versions of holy medicines, Wang Tao took some and went back to let Qu Shilin study what this thing was used for.

"…I was going to talk to the bishop, but he wasn't home."

Wang Tao told Zhao Yaru his purpose.

Zhao Yaru immediately said:

"Your Excellency, you came at a very unfortunate time. The bishop left this morning. I don't know where he went or what he did... Anyway, he always comes back after three days or more..."

"Three days? OK, I'll come back in two days."

Wang Tao did not stay with Zhao Yaru for long. Although she became a deacon, she did not know much. Instead, they took advantage of the weakness of many survivors and tricked them into changing their beliefs. They no longer believed in the bishop, but in Wang Tao.

This made Wang Tao feel a little amused and helpless, but they were all trivial matters and he didn't pay much attention to them.

It is difficult to enter the headquarters of the Church of Dusk, but it is easy to get out.

Wang Tao left the Dusk Church easily and headed straight for the Changhe Base.

……

"You're back. What we got this time is - huh? The last piece of Progenitor virus data! It's really Progenitor virus data. Wow, awesome!"

Looking at what Wang Tao handed over, Qu Shilin exclaimed, took it with trembling hands, and stroked the rough matte texture of the cover of the document. Qu Shilin was extremely excited.

But she was very rational and was not carried away by her joy. She first had to confirm whether the information was authentic and whether there were any problems.

An hour later, there were no problems with the test of the data, indicating that the information was correct.

Qu Shilin immediately hugged Wang Tao tightly, and then said confidently:
"Give me five days, and I should be able to produce the zombie virus serum!"

In fact, the speed may be faster, but there may be accidents, so it is better to make a conservative guess.

Wang Tao smiled and said:
"Five days? So fast? No problem, then you can get started. If you need anything, feel free to contact me."

……

The speed of the Hope Institute far exceeded Wang Tao's expectations. Qu Shilin said it would take five days, but in fact it only took one and a half days to produce the first zombie virus serum!
