Chapter 554: A Cunning Rabbit Has Three Burrows. The Necessity of Researching an Antidote!

During the day, Oreo would follow Su Chan to herd yaks and sheep, and would not return until about four o'clock in the afternoon.

Moore joined the infrastructure team, relying on his strength to earn private money for himself so that he could have an extra meal at night.

Even the big and small sparks were not idle. Every morning after a good rest, they would stroll to the vegetable fields opened up in the village to work, and would not return until the evening.

Therefore, after inspecting the current situation in the territory and returning to the shelter, Su Mo got a rare free time.

After returning to the third floor, he took out the slightly damp bedding and put it on the front of the Dihu car to dry. By the way, after processing the two fish in the trunk and stewing them in the pot, Su Mo lay comfortably on the sofa and took a nap.

The sun was shining and the fireworks were lingering.

On the first sunny day after the heavy snow, the villagers worked hard, and everyone was sweating to clean the snow around the village and continued to do the planned infrastructure.

A few shouts came through the open door of the shelter to the third floor. Not only did they fail to disturb Su Mo who was sleeping soundly, but they made him change his posture and sleep more deeply.

He slept for more than two hours until the alarm rang, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

He got up and came to the pot burning on a low fire. As Su Mo opened the lid, a strong smell instantly floated out and spread throughout the third floor.

The freshness of the fish, the numbness of the peppercorns, the spiciness of the red pepper segments, and the right spoonful of red oil are the standard Sichuan cooking methods.

After two hours of slow cooking on a low fire, every bit of the flavor of the spices was absorbed into the cut fish meat, making the surface of the fish meat glow with a tempting red.

In addition, the carp has sufficient exercise in the freshwater lake, and its meat is extremely chewy.

In winter, with such a pot of fish, even the coldest heart can be instantly melted into soft water.

He picked up the spoon beside him, tasted a small bite, and then ate a piece of fish.

Feeling the rich taste exploding on his taste buds, Su Mo nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and put the pot directly into the storage space.

Since he took in the old batch of villagers and set up a kitchen, he hasn't cooked in person for a long time.

This is not because he is lazy, but because he has been busy every day since he became the lord, and there is no leisure for him to stay in the kitchen to continue tinkering.

And this pot of fish is not because Su Mo himself is greedy and wants to eat meat.

It is not to reward the villagers and management of the depression who are working hard.

His destination is a group of "unknown people" in the depression!

The wind that summoned the lion man took away the smell in the third floor. After confirming that the fire in the stove was extinguished, Su Mo strode out of the shelter.

Move the quilt on the cover of the ground tiger machine to the stool sofa on the first floor of the garage to continue drying.

Turning the key to start the ignition, the Dihu drove out slowly in the opposite direction of the village.

The road was not easy to drive on after the snow, especially after the obstacles inside were covered by the snow, driving forward would be full of various risks.

But fortunately, Su Mo had walked this road many times before, and he could vaguely hear the scenery when it was not snowing on the road with his eyes closed.

He called up Jay Chou's "All the Way North" and put his hand outside the car window. A deep car mark began to extend from south to north on the shallow snow.

Driving along the way, there were many villagers working outside in the depression looking for mining resources in the first 20 to 30 kilometers.

Whenever they saw the Dihu driving over, they would raise their hands excitedly and cheer loudly.

Similarly, Su Mo would honk the horn to signal the excitement of these people.

But after 50 kilometers, there were fewer and fewer people, and even the traces of human footprints suddenly decreased by more than half.

It was like a village like a small society in ancient times.

According to personal physical strength, without sufficient military force to protect themselves, the farthest distance that each villager in the depression can travel is only the foot strength multiplied by four hours.

People who walk fast can walk about 10 kilometers in an hour, which is 40 kilometers in four hours, and 80 kilometers of round trip work every day.

People who walk slowly can only walk five or six kilometers in an hour, and only walk about 50 kilometers a day.

Without modern transportation and productivity tools, it is difficult for humans to cover thousands of kilometers or even hundreds of miles.

When he was less than five kilometers away from the northern border of the depression and 124 kilometers away from the village, Su Mo stopped the car and continued to identify the direction.

This time, he quickly found the way forward and turned the car to the west.

Only 16 kilometers, when Su Mo stopped the car again, a small hill that looked ordinary had appeared in front of him.

Unlike the bustling and spectacular large infrastructure in the village, everything here still retains its original appearance.

Except that the overall potential of the depression has increased and the environment has become more favorable, if someone else comes here, it is difficult to find any difference between this place and other places.

After turning off the engine and getting out of the car, Su Mo successfully came to the front of the hill after following the route in his memory.

The snow covered all the landmarks that could identify the direction. After sweeping around and finding no traces on the ground, Su Mo bent down with a little surprise and began to clean the snow.

After a while, a small pile of snow was cleared.

After pulling away a piece of grass floating on the ground again, an incongruous wooden door appeared on the ground.

Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong!

Accompanied by Su Mo's very rhythmic knocking, a muffled sound with a slight echo came from below.

It was obvious that the floor below the wooden board was not a solid ground, but an underground space with a volume of at least one hundred cubic meters.

No one opened the door after the first knock, and it seemed that there was no one below.

The second knock was still the same.

But when Su Mo knocked for the third time and reversed the previous frequency, the sound from below the wooden board was finally no longer an empty echo, but a slightly dull sound of footsteps.

Creak.

The wooden door was pushed up from bottom to top, revealing a furry bear head, which was the long-lost bear man Lili!

"Hey, Director, how did you get here!"

With a full of silly smile, the bear man Lili scratched his head and made way for the downward passage.

Unlike conventional shelters, the passage behind the wooden board is not a wide living space, but a staircase that goes down diagonally and cannot be seen at a glance.

Moreover, the air coming from the staircase was not as stuffy as imagined, but not much different from the outside world.

"Hey, did you build a vent somewhere else?"

After walking down the stairs and taking two breaths, Su Mo asked in surprise.

Lili nodded: "Yes, when the big sister came back last time, she helped to open another vent on the side of the hill, and also blessed it, so that the air can be changed regularly every day!"

"Is Connie not here now?"

"Yes, the big sister came back three days ago, and then told her that the next time she comes back, she must at least wait until the blizzard is over!"

As Lili skillfully stuck her head out to observe the outside, and then put down the wooden board, the two walked down the stairs while talking about the recent situation.

Like the Z-shaped passage design in the underground shelter, the underground base here also uses this point.

However, the repeated folding degree here is much higher than that of the shelter. There are about 300 steps of stairs going down, and there are many large iron doors that can be put down.

In terms of safety factor, even if the outer perimeter of the underground space is still surrounded by wood, it is comparable to the underground shelter!

"Did Connie say how his side is developing?"

Lili: "She mentioned it several times. Because our current team's combat effectiveness is not high, and the supplies we carry are limited, plus the director said that building high walls, storing food, and slowly becoming king, so she chose to arrange the territory next to several small alien tribes, and did not compete with those medium-sized tribes for interests."

"Besides, the current strength of the big sister is no worse than that of some large alien leaders, so the lords of these small territories also have some ideas in their hearts and dare not provoke us. Now it can be regarded as harmonious."

"In terms of number, the total number of people we brought over was 26. Now, after more than a week of development, by absorbing and screening some wandering aliens, the number has expanded to 84."

"On the house"

It seems that she knew that Su Mo would be curious about the development situation. The last time Connie came back, she explained it very carefully, even to the specific storage situation of each material.

Although Lili didn't remember everything, he used a stupid method to write down all the data. Now he can report it clearly.

"Eighty people so soon? And fifteen wooden houses were built from scratch? This speed is not slow at all!"

After walking through the last step, as another door was opened by the people inside, the two of them stepped in, and the real underground space finally appeared in front of them.

From left to right, the entire space has a usable area of ​​about 300 square meters.

Half of it belongs to the activity space for the aliens living inside, and the other half is used to store supplies.

At this time, seeing Su Mo coming in, the six aliens standing on the first floor all turned their heads and walked up respectfully.

"Thank you for your hard work"

"It's not hard, it's not hard. We can meditate and improve our strength every day after we are full. It's so comfortable!"

After being patted on the shoulder by Su Mo, the fox man who opened the door trembled repeatedly, and then told the truth that made Lili bear blush without any concealment.

When they were assigned to this mission point, they heard that they had to stay underground and live a dark life every day. At first, they were a little rebellious.

But within two days, after feeling the benefits of this job, they gloriously "rebelled"!

No life threat, no need to worry about running out of supplies, and even having plenty of time to do their own things, this is a bright future that they dared not think of in the tribe before.

Now, seeing Su Mo's caring eyes, even if they are thick-skinned, they dare not accept this compliment.

"Let's go, go down and see the situation!"

Smiled, did not continue to tease the innocent aliens, took Lili, and continued to go down along a staircase in the corner.

Soon, as a large iron door was opened from the inside again.

This time, the things guarding the mission point finally revealed their true colors!

Twelve terrifying alien heads were fixed on something that looked like a lamp base, wrapped with iron chains as thick as a baby's forearm.

Dozens of hoses passed through the bottom of the head, forming a nutrient transport route, replacing their disappeared bodies.

Seeing Su Mo coming in, the head froze for a moment, and then began to move its face with a crackling sound, with an expression that made people shudder as if it wanted to rush up and bite.

"All changed?"

"Yes, the last person couldn't hold on two days ago and became like this now, but his strength is obviously greater than the others!"

Pointing to the fourth head from the top, Lili looked frightened. It was obvious that what had happened had shocked everyone.

"Bigger than everyone else?"

Listening to Lili describe the scene two days ago, when his head mutated during the night and he almost escaped from the trap, Sumo frowned suddenly.

As early as the first day of arriving in the New World, that is, on the evening of April 1, Sumo gave Connie two secret orders.

After receiving the order, Connie immediately dispatched with all the aliens and arrived at the depression one step ahead of the large army.

This is also the reason why most villagers suddenly discovered that there were no foreigners in the team.

After arriving, Connie easily used the shelter core given by Sumo to build this underground base to hold a dozen previously infected aliens.

And after the construction was completed, she left the depression and went to another place prepared by Soma to establish the first affiliated force of the depression.

The cunning rabbit has three caves.

In fact, when the virtual reality calculation calculated that the depression was located among several super-large alien races, and the survival probability was only a few tenths of a percent, Sumo made up his mind that he must have a back-up.

Connie is one of the backup men he prepared.

Once the lowland is invaded and reaches the point of no return, then you must be decisive in giving up the territory!

And if you take only people and no supplies, going to other places is naturally very dangerous.

But if you go to the branch base established by Connie and have the previous accumulation, the chance of making a comeback will always be greater than wandering around.

However, despite all calculations, Sumo failed to calculate that Connie, who was in greater danger, was fine, but something almost went wrong with these so-called "zombies".

"No, didn't the message predicted by Oreo say that once all the infected aliens finally lose their minds, they will not retain their previously strengthened strength, but will fall to half of their first strength?"

"Why now"

Quickly thinking about the specific information predicted by Oreo before, and then observing the mutated zombies in front of him, Somo frowned and the tendons on his head stood out.

When I first learned that a zombie crisis was coming, I thought of the overwhelming scenes in the Earth movies.

Even Su Mo himself felt a little chilled.

After that, as the large troops landed in the New World and met other alien races, Sumo initially gained some confidence to survive the zombie crisis.

After all, whether they are humans or aliens, their strength in the New World is quite good, and they have a certain IQ, so they can work together to resist and share individual pressure.

There are even these alien races as cannon fodder. In the depression in the hinterland of the New World, there is no need to worry about the zombies coming in the early stage.

As for the rest, after witnessing the eighth-level flame dragon of the Demonic Soul Clan and the war strength of the army of reformers, the crisis of the zombie wave has completely become ordinary.

Even under a pessimistic judgment, the probability of survival is above 90%. In terms of threat, it is even worse than the impact of low temperature.

But now

If the strength of these zombie aliens is not as Oreo said, it has been extremely obvious and greatly reduced, and they have become cannon fodder.

But like the current No. 4 alien race, its strength has increased instead of decreasing, and it is even more terrifying than the last enhancement.

"Oh, this is a fucking surprise. The aliens on the periphery of the New World cannot withstand such zombie attacks. I'm afraid they will be forced to turn enemies into friends after one or two waves of impact."

"Even if the depression is in the hinterland of the New World, I'm afraid these zombies will have to drive straight into it."

"No, we have to research the antidote quickly, otherwise once we fight these zombies and someone is infected, it will really be our own people beating our own people!"

When I think of the majestic scene of zombies running wild in a certain World War movie, I look at the aliens with red eyes and rotten faces in front of me.

Sumo shuddered violently and strengthened his inner judgment.

Although there are only about a month or two left before all the alien races mutate, when they swim to the New World, it will take at least two months to prepare under the current weather.

Add the two together.

Compared with other unsuspecting alien races, all people living in the New World now have at least four more months to respond to the super disaster that is about to break out.

Considering that other disasters along the way are also very likely to delay the landing of zombies.

There is still half a year left for the depression!

Within half a year, if the corresponding restraining agent or antidote can be developed, then this disaster will become an opportunity for the rise of the depression.

But if it cannot be developed, or the zombies are stronger.

Then the only way left for everyone is to hide underground like rats!
