Chapter 389: Being Kicked Out

"What's happening here?"

Wang Tao has seen impurities in the body rise, but he has never seen such a sudden surge.

And it can actually decrease after soaring? This is beyond Wang Tao's understanding... You must know that even using inhibitors can only suppress the onset of the virus, but it cannot reduce the impurities in the body.

At present, Wang Tao only knows of two ways to reduce impurities in the body.

One is promotion. After each promotion, the impurities in the body will be reduced by 50%. This is also how most people can reduce the impurities in the body.

The other is to use a "clearing agent". Each bottle of cleaning agent can reduce impurities by 1%, and the effect is immediate. But only Wang Tao has the cleaning potion, and there are not many, just enough for Wang Tao himself.

These two women obviously did not belong to either category, so Wang Tao was surprised.

"What's wrong with them?"

Qu Shilin curiously poked the body of one of the women, but the other woman had no reaction.

Because the environment was relatively dark just now, and the two women went from attacking Wang Tao to being subdued by Wang Tao too quickly, Qu Shilin did not see what happened very clearly. She just vaguely saw that some changes had occurred in the other person's body.

"I'm not sure. I feel like I'm turning into a zombie. My body is almost at 100%. But... it's suddenly suppressed? The impurities in my body are reduced and it's back to its previous state..."

Wang Tao shook his head and then looked at Qu Shilin.

There was no special condition on the opponent's head, and he couldn't determine the cause. Maybe researcher Qu Shilin can see some problems?

Qu Shilin was also confused after hearing Wang Tao's words.

"Impurities in the body? Has it turned into a zombie? Let me test it."

Qu Shilin brought a portable detector from the car that can detect impurities in the body. This is the latest thing made by their research institute, and it was installed on the car by Qu Shilin.

Wang Tao naturally didn't need this thing, but Qu Shilin didn't know that Wang Tao could see impurities in the body. She thought Wang Tao was guessing, so she wanted to test it herself.

Qu Shilin picked some hair from the two women lying on the ground and placed it in the instrument. After a while, two lines of small words appeared on the small screen on the instrument.

[Energy: Level 0]

[Impurities: Level 10]

Seeing this test result, Wang Tao was stunned for a moment.

The current detector has become more accurate after several iterations.

In the past, it could only detect levels 0 to 5, but now it can detect levels 10. Now each level represents 10% of the impurities in the body, so level 10 represents 90%-100% of the impurities in the body!

But Wang Tao clearly saw that the impurities in the two women's bodies were 54% and 60% respectively... The test results were different from what he saw!

Wang Tao suspected that there might be something wrong with the instrument. After all, there shouldn't be anything wrong with what he saw, right?

"Level 10 impurities in the body!"

Qu Shilin's face was very serious.

Under normal circumstances, when the impurities in the human body exceed level 8, which is more than 80%, some zombie characteristics will appear. Such as skin ulcers, white eyes, exposed blood vessels...

These characteristics are similar to those of being infected with a zombie virus. They may mutate at any time, and inhibitors will have no effect.

"But the impurities in these two people's bodies are already at level 10, but they don't have the characteristics of zombies. This is unreasonable..."

Qu Shilin muttered again, and then looked at Wang Tao again.

"Oh, by the way, you just said that zombie characteristics appeared on their bodies and then disappeared?"

"right."

Wang Tao nodded.

"This is unscientific! How can zombie characteristics disappear after they appear..."

Seeing Qu Shilin's doubts, Wang Tao glanced at Jiang Shixue subconsciously, and Jiang Shixue happened to look over, and the two looked at each other in tacit understanding.

The previous Jiang Shixue no longer showed zombie characteristics, but directly turned into a zombie, but was eventually rescued by Wang Tao.

However, Jiang Shixue's situation is different. She used purification potion.

As for these two women, Wang Tao could see clearly that they had not taken anything.

The impurities in the bodies of these two women are not more than 80% now, and it is reasonable to have no zombie characteristics... Therefore, there is still something wrong with Qu Shilin's detector. Or maybe there is some delay in its detection principle?

Anyway, Wang Tao directly saw that the attributes matched the current status of these two women, so... what he saw should be accurate.

At this time, Qu Shilin suddenly said again:

"If there are too many impurities accumulated in the human body, the body will undergo some changes. These changes are not only reflected in the appearance, but also changes internally. The detector determines how many impurities are in the other person's body by observing these changes. According to As far as I know, only promotion can eliminate this change, and other methods cannot eliminate it. It is basically irreversible! I speculate that the two of them may have changed back because of their appearance, but there are still some traces of the original condition in their bodies, so The detector detected that there were still many impurities in their bodies..."

Wang Tao nodded secretly, Qu Shilin's explanation should be considered more reasonable.

To put it simply, the impurities in the body are like a person's file. When the impurities in the body are too high, it is equivalent to having a criminal record. This record can only be partially eliminated through promotion, or by removing potions, but other methods cannot eliminate it. The detector is equivalent to investigating a person's file. Once a criminal record is found, it will directly show that the person has stains.

"So, what's going on with them? Will they turn into zombies again?"

Ding Yuqin asked with a frown.

Although she is kind-hearted, she is not a good person. If these two people were still a threat to Wang Tao, she wouldn't mind getting rid of them.

"I have no idea……"

Qu Shilin shook her head.

"I don't know...but there must be something wrong with these two people."

Wang Tao also shook his head.

Let’s not talk about the sudden increase and decrease of impurities in the body. Let’s just say that there is something wrong with their strength——

They were obviously ordinary people, but their speed when they pounced on Wang Tao was no less than level three!

Wang Tao took another look at the 1v3 situation over there. Their battle was not over yet, and it seemed that the second round had already begun. And that woman has been tied to the pillar with an iron chain and has never been released, but she has not turned into a zombie or anything.

After not being able to see anything for a while, Wang Tao came back again.

"Wake her up first and ask her."

Wang Tao had just used a mental attack to make the two women unconscious, and he had used just the right amount of force. If he had used more force, they would probably be dead.

Nie Siyan came over and woke up the two women.

"Well……"

The two girls were still a little dazed after waking up.

When they saw Wang Tao, they subconsciously wanted to crawl over to Wang Tao.

"Brother~"

Everyone was on guard that she might attack suddenly, but they just crawled to Wang Tao without any intention of attacking.

"Why are you attacking me?"

Wang Tao knelt down and looked at the two women seriously.

"Ah? I, we didn't attack the boss..."

The two women looked a little confused, and they didn't look like they were lying.

"Huh? Amnesia? No memory?"

Wang Tao frowned.

But these two women might be faking it...

Wang Tao continued to ask about the situation just now, and then carefully observed every move of the two women with his mental power.

If the other party is lying, it can be seen through some details.

After more than ten minutes, Wang Tao stopped questioning.

These two women really didn't know anything. The memory of their attack on Wang Tao just now was gone.

Everyone frowned.

They have never seen anything like this before. Is this a mental problem? Or encountered some mysterious phenomena?

Wang Tao quietly inquired about the surrounding situation, and did not feel like he was in a fantasy world...

"Brother, you must have remembered it wrong. We really didn't attack you! You just gave us so much food, how could we attack you!"

Seeing the two women looking a little aggrieved, Wang Tao shook his head.

"Then it seems that I haven't had a good rest recently and I'm hallucinating... I won't talk about this anymore. Please put on your clothes."

The two girls saw that Wang Tao really didn't seem to be interested in them, so they had to put on their clothes again shivering. It's only a few degrees now, and it's still very cold.

After they got dressed, Wang Tao asked again:

"I ask you, now that you are free, do you plan to wander in the apocalypse, or do you plan to follow me back to Changhe Base?"

Wang Tao had just asked this question, but the two women didn't know if they didn't hear it before. They took off their clothes as soon as they came up, and then suddenly attacked Wang Tao, so they didn't answer.

Now that he heard this question again, the reactions of the two women were somewhat beyond Wang Tao's expectations.

"Freedom? We don't want freedom! We want food!"

Seeing the frightened faces of the two people, Wang Tao and everyone were a little puzzled.

If they were wandering in the apocalypse, they might really not be able to get food. After all, they are ordinary people under normal circumstances.

But Wang Tao only gave them a choice and did not actually let them go wandering.

Wang Tao's original intention was to take them back to the base. Wouldn't there be food there?

Isn't this better than being chained and selling your body in exchange for some food that can't fill your stomach?

"I said, you can follow me to Changhe Base, you don't have to wander here..."

"We can't go! We can't go to Changhe Base!"

The two women's heads shook like rattles.

"Huh? Why?"

Wang Tao frowned.

"Because... we were kicked out of Changhe Base!"

Both women had some fear in their eyes.

"?"

Wang Tao was a little confused. Will Changhe Base kick them out? This is unlikely!

Changhe Base is very short of people, and normally it is impossible to drive people out.

Unless they have a criminal record, such as Shang Qin, who was imprisoned and abused, they will definitely not be allowed in if they are discovered.

But this woman is a victim... Could it be that when they went to Changhe Base, they were already in a state of "suddenly becoming like zombies"?

As if thinking of something sad, one of the women wiped her tears and said:

"We walked a long way and went through life and death to reach Changhe Base, but they said something about us was unqualified, so they kicked us out... There was a wave of corpses at that time, and we almost died..."

"Unqualified?"

Wang Tao subconsciously looked at Qu Shilin.

He had just arrived at Changhe Base not long ago and was not very familiar with many things here. Qu Shilin came to Changhe Base much earlier than him, so she should know something, right?

Qu Shilin frowned at first, and then suddenly became enlightened.

"Wang Tao seems to know what's going on..."

The Changhe Base lists people with more than 80% impurities in their bodies as high-risk groups, and their risk level is even higher than that of people infected with the zombie virus.

There are records of people infected with the zombie virus, and no one will hide it. Because the base will sponsor certain inhibitors free of charge.

However, this situation of excessive impurities in the body is more hidden, and even the parties involved do not know it. Moreover, it is not necessarily the fusion of crystal cores that will increase the impurities in the body. Other things may also increase...so the danger is relatively greater.

If the impurities in the body of a formal resident in the base reach 80%, you may be monitored every day, and this is still under the condition that you have a certain role. If an ordinary person reaches such a high level of impurities in the body, the base will send you to a special place for closed management. This place is full of people with high impurities in the body, a bit like a prison. But it is not as strict as a prison. Except that you can't come out casually, life inside is not much different from outside.

This is also a helpless thing. After all, the destruction of many bases started from the inside, which is a lesson learned from the past. If a zombie appears in the base, it may lead to the destruction of the entire base. This kind of thing must be treated with caution.

Moreover, the base is very humane. Although freedom is restricted, at least these people can live in the city and still be alive.

Because the base is much more cruel to those outsiders - those with more than 80% impurities in their bodies cannot enter the base.

After all, this thing is like a time bomb, and you don’t know when it will explode. If the base brings too many such people in, it will be over sooner or later.

The official residents of the base have made contributions to the base to a certain extent, and the base should provide them with living space, but outsiders have not made any contributions, and the base has no obligation to let such time bombs stay in the base...

"So, they may have been rejected by the base because of the high impurities in their bodies?"

Wang Tao looked at Qu Shilin and said.

"It should be."

Qu Shilin nodded.

In order to prove her speculation, Qu Shilin asked the two women again. Sure enough, as she thought, these two women had fused zombie crystal cores before coming to Changhe Base, and they had fused a lot of them, all white crystal cores, so it is reasonable that a lot of impurities have accumulated in their bodies.

In this way, it is reasonable to exclude those with too many impurities in their bodies. We can't risk the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the city for a little kindness.

Unless there is a way to solve the impurities in their bodies... Using a cleaning potion is obviously not enough, and Wang Tao doesn't have many bottles. Promotion is a solution, but the price is also very high.

"Brother, I know you are a good person, but we really don't need freedom. We are already very grateful that you can give us food..."
