Chapter 1109: Zombie-Blocking Potion?

Big camphor tree base.

The second uncle immediately summoned Lao Xie, Huang Zheng and others to make preparations to support Li Yu and the others.

Li Yu had already agreed with his second uncle on the military radio station that all missile vehicles in the base would be dispatched.

Missile vehicles are inherently strong and durable, and can withstand the recoil of missile launches. The recoil force of missile launches can range from hundreds to hundreds of tons. It would be overkill to withstand heavy artillery.

Moreover, the positioning of the missile vehicle itself is constantly moving for combat, so it has the ability to transport and drive remotely.

The only drawback is that it consumes a lot of fuel.

There were only four missile vehicles in the base, and this time they were all dispatched.

Each of these four missile vehicles is equipped with two heavy cannons, for a total of eight heavy cannons.

In addition, there are four armored transport vehicles and four infantry fighting vehicles. The infantry fighting vehicles are equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns and can be used for air defense. The infantry fighting vehicles have a long cruising range of 700 kilometers.

There are also two armored vehicles and four tank trucks, carrying more than 100 tons of fuel for the convoy.

The tanker was not full, but it was calculated to have enough fuel for them to reach Oil City. When they arrived at Oil City, they would refill the fuel from Oil City.

There are a total of eighteen vehicles. Lao Xie and Huang Zheng took the lead, working with Li Hang and his uncle at the base to prepare all the materials and equipment.

As an early entrant into the Da Zhangshu Base, Lao Xie has always been working near or in the base.

He also came from the WJ team before and has certain leadership skills.

More importantly, he has a daughter who has lived in the inner city for three years in the apocalypse and is now over eight years old.

People in the inner city are relatively reliable in terms of loyalty.

Huang Zheng, on the other hand, has lived with Tianrui for many years. As an employee from the outer city, he has been serving as a team leader.

The two of them need to take the convoy to Oil City. Once there, Xiao Jun will join them and go north together.

Large vehicles drove into Wengcheng one after another, attracting the attention of many collaborators and non-staff personnel.

The construction project of the Fourth Outer City is about to be completed. If it were not for the cold weather now, the Fourth Outer City would have been built long ago and would not have been delayed until now.

As soon as the imperial concubine, Old Huangtou and others came in from outside the city, they saw several powerful and tall missile vehicles parked in Wengcheng.

At this time, He Chao saw Jiu Ge next to the concubine and the others, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly came over: "It's easy to find me, Jiu Ge, you go back and prepare now, there will be an outing mission soon, you go with the team!" "

Jiuge was a first-level maintenance technician before the end of the world and had rich experience in repairing vehicles.

Jiuge was stunned when he heard this and asked He Chao: "Supervisor, where are we going?"

He Chao frowned and said, "Just follow the arrangement. You will know later."

Jiu Ge didn't say much, nodded and said to He Chao: "Okay, then I'll go clean up and report here right away."

"Don't worry, we won't leave until tomorrow morning. Let me tell you first, don't be late tomorrow." He Chao said.

"Okay, supervisor." Jiuge said.

Then he walked to the imperial concubine and the others, and walked together to the first outer city.

The young boy Xiaoye asked curiously: "Jiuge, what is our base going to do? It looks like something big is about to happen."

Jiuge shook his head and said, "Director He didn't tell me, and I don't know either."

Old Huangtou suddenly said: "There should be something going on with the Northern Federation. The city lord and the others have been away from the base for several days. They sent people there this time, probably for reinforcements."

Previously, the northern federal reconnaissance team sent by Yuan Zhi came to the vicinity of Da Zhangshu Base, and later hid in the mountains and forests. Da Zhangshu Base once sent many non-staff personnel to search.

Therefore, everyone in the Da Zhangshu Base also knows about the existence of the Northern Federation.

I just don’t know the specific strength of the Northern Federation.

Hearing this, the imperial concubine nodded thoughtfully.

She had been in the north before, and had heard of the Northern Federation and wanted to go there, but then she didn't go because of some accidents, and then she was arrested by the boss of the motorcycle gang.

"When I was in the north, I heard about the Northern Federation. It was rumored that it was very powerful. I don't know if the city lord and the others are going well now," the imperial concubine said to Old Huangtou.

Old Huangtou was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked at the imperial concubine and asked, "Have you ever heard of the Northern Federation before?"

"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it," the imperial concubine replied.

"Oh." Lao Huang didn't say much and just walked straight to the first outer city.

They have already adapted to life in the Da Zhangshu base.

As a member of the Da Zhangshu Base, they would still be worried about the emergence of an unknown force.

They were worried that the Da Zhangshu Base would be defeated, and their peaceful life would be completely disrupted, and they would return to their original days of wandering and being in constant fear.

Behind the peace and stability, there are always people carrying the burden for you to resist the wind and rain.

inner city.

Li Hongyuan found his second uncle: "Second brother, how is Xiaoyu doing now?"

The second uncle looked at his eldest brother, thought for a while and said: "It's safe for the time being, but the Northern Federation is too powerful, and now we are in a stalemate with Xiaoyu and the others."

Li Hongyuan looked worried and continued: "I, I thought about it, how about I go with Lao Xie and the others."

The second uncle had a big head and said with a wry smile: "Brother, just supervise the construction of the fourth outer city. You couldn't help in the past, but instead..."

He didn't finish his words, but Li Hongyuan understood what he meant.

The second uncle seemed to think that he had gone too far. After all, it was natural for a father to worry about his son.

But he always felt that professional matters should be left to professionals, and he should not challenge things that he was not good at.

It was okay to let him manage the base, but if he was asked to fight, he knew that he was not good at it.

So he patiently said to Li Hongyuan:

"Brother, Xiaoyu's personality is known to you and me. He has always been cautious. Let's not worry too much. Doing what we should do well is better than anything else.

Yutong, how are you recently?"

The second uncle changed the subject.

Li Hongyuan felt better after hearing this, and asked about Yutong.

He said, "Your sister-in-law and Xiaoyuan are watching, they are in good condition."

The second uncle thought for a while and said, "Try not to let Yutong know about sending support troops. She is pregnant now, and I am afraid she will worry."

Li Hongyuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know this."

The second uncle saw Li Hang coming from a distance, so he said to Li Hongyuan, "Brother, I will go to the warehouse with Xiaohang first."

"Well, I will also go to the fourth outer city to be busy."

The two separated.

In the entire camphor tree base, as a large number of combatants gathered and some weapons and ammunition were loaded onto the car, many people felt an atmosphere of a war.

However, not everyone in the camphor tree base could feel this atmosphere.

An Ya, who had been staying in the greenhouse, was listening to Zhang Qiwu's explanation with Xiao Shi, Li Peizhen and others.

They were in the greenhouse, looking at the crops while telling the story.

"The sowing depth of rice is generally 5 to 10 centimeters. The sowing depth of rice seeding trays should not exceed one centimeter. The thickness of soil covering rice seedlings in pot trays is generally 0.7 to 0.8 centimeters."

"I think the configuration of staple food in our base needs to be modified. Rice consumes too much water. According to our soil here, I think the proportion of sweet potatoes can be appropriately increased."

"Next is about boron fertilizer. As we all know, boron is a trace element necessary for potato growth. Lack of boron will affect the formation and development of tubers. So, in addition to this trace element..."

Anya has been very fulfilled during this period. She is a graduate student at a 211 university, but she is still inferior to this kind of leading agricultural expert in the professional field.

However, the most powerful experts may not necessarily be leaders.

Li Yu has always handed over the agricultural planting of the Dazhangshu base to Anya. Even if a more powerful Zhang Qiwu came, this did not change.

After all, Zhang Qiwu has just joined the Dazhangshu base not long ago and still needs time.

For Li Yu, what he needs in agriculture is stability. As long as there is no too much unnatural factor to reduce production, he will not intervene.

Zhang Qiwu has been very happy recently.

He doesn't have to manage people like before, he just needs to go to class like this, and then there is a place in the outer city where he can study, and no one disturbs him.

He feels very comfortable.

Before the end of the world, because of his status, he inevitably had to face some realistic human relationships, but here, he doesn't need to.

The big camphor tree base also gave him very good conditions, allowing him to study things related to agriculture.

Not just him.

Dozens of doctoral students from the southwest joined the established Academy of Sciences and Engineering. They worked together with Bai Jie's research laboratory and the mechanical maintenance factory in charge of Li Hang.

They will provide technical support for the manufacturing of new energy vehicles and some inventions.

Although Li Hang is nominally in charge of the mechanical maintenance factory, the specific affairs are still controlled by Lao Zhou and Lao Dong.

The academic research atmosphere in the second outer city is very strong, like their own small world, and no one disturbs them.

The isolation of the wall makes them almost forget that they are still in the end of the world.

Which kind of happiness is the happiest?

That is, you don't need to think about anything, and you don't need to think about whether others are happy or not. You can do your own things in your own world.

They are very happy.

In the camphor tree base, the purer the people are, the better they can adapt here.

Research room lounge.

Bai Jie, Madi, Xiaolan, Wang Yin, Kong Shuang and others are eating lunch.

These researchers don't like to go to crowded places, so they take their lunch boxes to the canteen to get food, and then go back to the lounge to eat.

"Regarding the zombie antidote project, although the progress is very slow, don't be discouraged. One day we will be able to develop it." Bai Jie said to everyone while eating.

Madi smiled bitterly and said, "It's difficult for us to do research without finding the source of infection and the meteorite."

For a while, everyone was a little depressed.

Bai Jie then broke the silence and said to everyone:

"In view of the characteristics of zombies, the city lord and his team have previously experimented with using zombies' flesh and blood to smear on clothes, which can have a certain concealment effect."

"But due to the long-term natural disaster, these zombies may be too hungry, and now they will start to eat the dead zombies of the same kind, and the original method is ineffective."

"Everyone can also spend more time on this project recently."

Everyone nodded and said, "Okay."

Continue to concentrate on eating.

At this time, hiss.

Wang Yin's face was red, and he was fanning his mouth with his hands while baring his teeth.

After all, the camphor tree base is in Gan Province, and they love spicy food.

Chili peppers are very nutritious, rich in vitamin C, vitamin B, carotene, calcium, iron and other minerals.

In addition, perhaps the cook was also from Gan City, so he put some chili peppers.

Wang Yin is from Yue City, and basically doesn't eat chili peppers.

It's winter, and chili peppers can warm the body, so a dish of chili peppers was made.

Bai Jie saw Wang Yin was so spicy, and smiled and said, "Drink some water, you..."

As she said that, she put a mouthful of chili peppers in her mouth.

She was originally from Xiangtan, and eating spicy food was as simple as drinking water for her.

Wang Yin's mouth swelled slightly, picked up the teacup and drank two sips of water, and said with a sad face, "I knew I didn't want this dish earlier. It's so spicy, how can you eat it?"

"Is it spicy? I think it's okay! This is not a chili pepper," Xiaolan said nonchalantly.

Wang Yin was drinking water when suddenly an idea came to him.

The hand holding the teacup also paused in mid-air, as if it was paused by a time-stopper.

Kong Shuang, who was sitting next to him, looked at him suspiciously, "Are you okay?"

"Are you okay?"

Kong Shuang asked twice in a row.

Wang Yin's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he put down the water cup with some excitement and said to everyone:

"Wrong, our thinking is wrong!"

"To block zombies, our previous idea was to extract something from the zombie corpses, and then let the zombies ignore humans after carrying them, which is essentially to make the zombies think we are the same kind.

But zombies will eat dead zombies, so our idea doesn't work."

"Since it doesn't work, why don't we think about it the other way around, not what zombies like, but what zombies hate!"

"I hate peppers, so I will never touch peppers again. Zombies hate something, so can't we achieve the effect of zombies avoiding it?"

As soon as they saw it, everyone's eyes lit up.

"That makes sense, but what do zombies hate?" Bai Jie asked.

"Will they hate chili?" Wang Yin said uncertainly.

He was just joking.

Unexpectedly, Madi's eyes lit up and he said, "The zombies' sense of smell is many times more sensitive than humans. Chili has a very strong smell, which may be able to cover up the smell of people! You can give it a try!"

Swish!

Everyone stood up and looked at each other.

It seems interesting.

Bai Jie took a look at the chili in her rice bowl, and then said to Wang Yin, "You don't eat chili anyway, try yours."

Everyone rushed to the research room.

In the research room, a door was opened, and then a glass door was opened. Finally, Bai Jie and others looked at the zombies inside through the iron railings.

The zombie was tied with an iron chain, but the chain did not hang up the zombie.

Bai Jie used a thin iron clamp to clamp the chili and put it in front of the zombie.

The zombie slammed the chili on the iron clamp to the ground.

"Pull the zombie up!" Bai Jie said.

Madi and Wang Yin pressed the button next to them.

Beep——

The iron chain slowly retracted, and the zombie was suspended in the air.

Bai Jie stuffed the pepper on the ground directly into the zombie's mouth.

The zombie seemed to be a little disgusted and struggled desperately.

Roar!

Opened his mouth.

The pepper was thrown directly into it.

The next second, the zombie roared.

There's hope!

Bai Jie immediately picked up the pepper to test the next zombie, but this zombie didn't seem to react much.

The crowd was not discouraged. Scientific experiments are like this. There will be constant failures, or it may take a month or ten years. When an experiment succeeds, the joy of success is incomparable.

After a round of tests, most zombies have a resistance to peppers.

Madi said to Bai Jie: "Zombies have a more sensitive sense of smell. Maybe it can be condensed pepper essence and amplify the taste of peppers."

"You can try it."

A meal found a new idea, which made everyone in the research room very happy.

Bai Jie happily said to Wang Yin: "Yes, you have an active mind. You can think of these things even when eating chili peppers. I will take credit for you when the city lord comes back!"

Wang Yin coughed twice and said modestly: "Let's talk about it after we develop a drug that can walk freely among zombies."

"Hahaha." Madi laughed.
