Chapter 1275: The Virus Detector

“This drug can allow the zombies in our base to pass the virus scan at the entrances of the other bases and enter those bases like healthy human beings. Our zombie soldiers were always left outside the base when our people visited another base. The other people don’t have a massive space like our Chief did, so they couldn’t bring any zombie soldiers into another base like how she does it. So, Yan Huiguang and I developed this. If this works, our zombie soldiers will be able to get into the other bases, right?” Shui Mingjun explained to Leng Xuantong.

During the daytime, Yan Huiguang’s main job was to help in the medical department in Base Number One. At night, he would do some small science projects, or occasionally help Leng Xuantong with his projects.

“Have you guys tested it?” Leng Xuantong held the test tube and asked Shui Mingjun. If the drug really worked as Shui Mingjun said, it would indeed be a good thing for the zombie army. At least, the zombie soldiers would have a big chance to get into the other bases.

Shui Mingjun shook his head and said, “No. That’s why I want to borrow your wife.”

“It’s not harmful to zombies, is it?” Leng Xuantong looked at him and asked. That was his wife. How could he possibly let her test the drug without knowing if it were harmful or not?

Shui Mingjun responded to him confidently, “It’s definitely harmless, or else I wouldn’t have asked to borrow your wife. If I wasn’t so sure, I’d just go outside and catch a normal zombie to test the drug.”

Going outside to catch a zombie would cost him some extra time. Since there was someone who could test the drug right next door, he believed going outside would be unnecessary. The drug wouldn’t be hurting anyone anyway.

Leng Xuantong looked at him with doubts, not seeming to be convinced at all. Seeing the look on his face, Shui Mingjun sighed, “Alright then. I’m going outside to find a zombie to try it.”

That was his wife after all. It was understandable that he didn’t want her to do the drug test. However, as Shui Mingjun turned and prepared to leave, Leng Xuantong called him, “Wait. I’ll let Lansheng take a look at the drug. She’ll know if its harmful or not.”

His wife was already a level-three zombie, so her sensations had grown much keener than before. She could easily tell if something was harmful to herself by smelling it.

After saying that, he brought Shui Mingjun the door of another lab and said, “Lansheng, come out for a second.”

The zombie lady who was observing the experimental subjects in the lab turned and looked at him questioningly with a pair of dark eyes.

“Come here!” Leng Xuantong waved at her, and the zombie lady came over to him. She walked up to find him reaching out his hand, holding a glass test tube that contained some unknown liquid.

“Take a look at this, see if you can use it,” Leng Xuantong said to her.

The zombie lady took over the test tube and unplugged it, then sniffed at it and looked at Leng Xuantong with confusion. She didn’t know what it was. She knew about almost all experiments that Leng Xuantong had done or was doing, but did not know when he made the liquid in the test tube.

“Oh, they made it. It’s supposed to allow zombies to pass the virus scan.” Leng Xuantong read the look on her face and figured out what she was thinking, so he pointed at Shui Mingjun and explained it to her. Then, he said to Shui Mingjun, “I think it’s fine. Do you guys have a virus detector?”

“No,” Shui Mingjun shook his head and said, “She’ll have to go to the gate and try it there.”

“I’m going with her,” said Leng Xuantong.

“Sure!” Shui Mingjun nodded.

Leng Xuantong glanced at the drug in his wife’s hand, then asked Shui Mingjun, “Alright. How to use that?”

“Drink it and wait for three minutes,” said Shui Mingjun.

Leng Xuantong nodded, then looked at Qi Lansheng and said, “Give it a try.”

Qi Lansheng gave him a glance, then poured the drug into her mouth. Three minutes later, before the others felt anything, Qi Lansheng’s son, who had been leaning against her leg, wore a confused look.

“Something is going outside the base now,” Shui Mingjun turned to look outside the base. The vibes of Qiu Lili and some others were sensed from that area.

“It’s those Huaxia people again,” said Leng Xuantong blandly.

“Do you know who they are?” Shui Mingjun glanced at him and said.

“I don’t even need to guess,” said Leng Xuantong.

At that moment, Yan Huiguang also raised his head and cast a glimpse at that area. Then, he dropped his head again and sank back into his project, as if what was happening out there had nothing to do with him at all. He was sure that those people would not detect him, because he had installed a device in the base to block people’s sensations. The device was created by himself.

That was the reason why the level-seven man from Huaxia Base failed to sense the level-seven zombies in All Beings Base. He didn’t sense the existence of Yan Guanghui, who was also a level-seven being, either.

By the time Yan Huiguang raised his head to glance at that area, the battle that was taking place outside the base was about to end.

“Pah!” The short captain was sent flying away by Qiu Lili with a gust of wind, vomiting blood, and thudded against a building.

“You… How is this possible?” The man fell to the ground and looked at Qiu Lili in shock. They were both at level-seven, but he was defenseless under her attack! She had been torturing him since the beginning!

Qiu Lili didn’t waste any time talking to him, but raised an arm and sent a massive wave of sharp wind blades toward him.

Puff! Puff! Puff! The short man immediately released a thick cloud of white mist.

Hearing the noises, Qiu Lili figured that her wind blades had missed their target.

At that point, the short man had disappeared from where he was. Within a blink, he reappeared about a hundred meters away from Qiu Lili, wounded. He was running away from her, seemingly attempting to flee.

Qiu Lili floated high up in the sky and looked around. She couldn’t sense the man’s presence for a short while. She cast a glance at one direction, then looked around again. After making sure the situation was under control, she flashed across the air to chase that man.

The man had already run pretty far away from the battlefield, but before long, Qiu Lili caught up with him.

As the man was running, half of the relatively weak ones among the troop from Huaxia Base had been killed. The ones who were still alive had realized that something was wrong with their plan. They were definitely not expecting so many enemies.

Every single one of those enemies was stronger than themselves. If they continued fighting, the result for them would not be good.

“Retreat!” Under the attacks from both Yue Xiaoxian and Jingyan, the woman with a short ponytail shouted at her walkie-talkie decisively. Meanwhile, she had been trying her best to find a way out and to save her own life.
