Chapter 644: Hold Back A Trick

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As there were too many enemies, those higher leveled zombies soon gave up on fighting each other and rushed straight at the barbed wire which separated them from the middle area, then tried to climb up. One zombie climbed up first, but the other immediately dragged it down and then climbed up itself.

Level-two zombies were as nimble as human beings, but not smart enough. They were simply trying to climb up, holding either the barbed wire or the other zombies. Unlike them, level-three zombies were either stopping each other from reaching up or deliberately dragging down the ones who were climbing.

At that moment, a staff member threw a dose of antidote down to the middle of the square along with a fireball.

Boom! The fireball and the antidote hit each other and exploded.

Hu Zhiyong picked up a glass tube from the tray carried by a waiter beside him, containing a light-blue colored liquid. “This is the result of the second phase. It can also be seen as the finished work based on the result of the first phase.”

While changes were happening in the square, he continued introducing the antidote.

When the antidote exploded, level two and three zombies made obvious reactions. Unlike them, those ordinary zombies seemed to feel nothing.

The level-two zombies stopped moving while the level-three ones quickly moved away and drew back to the edge of the cage like rats showered in boiling water.

The scent of the antidote gave them a very strong sense of crisis. The antidote was spreading fast, and they didn’t manage to dodge timely. Therefore, as they moved to the edge of the cage, they all slowed down, with their heads dropped.

Standing on top of the wall, Lin Qiao wore a grim face. The scent of the second type of antidote could still not affect her, but made her feel a slight repulsion. That was very uncomfortable.

The technologies that Huaxia Base possessed were indeed dangerous for her! Under her encouragement, Lin Kui destroyed a whole research team this time. However, she couldn’t be sure that if where would other people to fill in their places in the future. She still needed to destroy the files about the antidotes!

Ten minutes later, those ordinary zombies started reacting, and the higher leveled zombies had all quieted down, as if someone had pressed the pause button of them.

The antidote couldn’t kill level-three zombies and turn them into pus, but was able to disable them from moving. That was already very appealing.

At last, the third type of antidote was tested, which was able to affect even level-four zombies. Its effective range was much larger than the first two generations, and its onset time was a lot shorter.

The moment the third type of antidote was released, all zombies under level-three in the square became puddles of pus. The effective range of that antidote was a thousand meters in radius.

“The prices have been listed. This is a fair trade. You can all buy the antidotes with the prices on the list. To be fair, I need to explain to you about the amount of each type of antidotes. The amount that each base can buy is limited. The upper limit of each kind of antidote is on the list as well,” After all the antidotes were tested, Liu Zhinan said to the others.

“I’m surprised that you’re providing quite a lot of the second and third generation antidotes.” Lan Lu said.

Earlier on while reading the list, he and the others had found that the amounts of the antidotes number two and three were actually larger than the antidote number one by many times over. It meant that the information they got earlier was not true.

“Oh, about that, we surely wouldn’t spend too many resources on the preliminary version of the antidote, so we don’t have too much of it,” Hu Zhiyong laughed.

“You Huaxia Base are really greedy. You are able to produce weapons and grow food, yet you are trying to take so much from us. Aren’t these antidotes a little too expensive?” said Wu Chengyue with a smile.

Everyone knew that those antidotes were overpriced. If Huaxia Base had successfully relocated the zombie but told the others that it was stolen, people might not say anything about the prices so frankly even if they weren’t satisfied with them. At most, they would ponder over those prices before placing orders.

But now, people had known about Si Kongchen’s plan, and surely would grasp the opportunity.

“Chief Wu, you have to know that we need to feed over two million people. The food we grew is not enough. Besides, you can also choose to buy the antidotes with zombie nuclei. We actually prefer zombie nuclei. It’s on the shopping guide,” Liu Zhinan responded smilingly.

“Your antidotes seem nice, but the prices are too high for us. I guess we need to think about it,” Lan Lu complained about the prices as well, also with a smile.

“It’s alright. This show is only for you to know the effects of the antidotes. The choice is absolutely yours. Also, the deal will always be open. Whenever you want to buy some of these antidotes, you’ll be welcome,” Liu Zhinan responded composedly.

“Eh? Aren’t the amounts limited? Why can the deal stay open?” Lu Zhuofeng asked with confusion.

“The antidotes are limited for sale because we do not have a great amount in stock indeed. However, we will be producing more of it,” said Liu Zhinan.

“Produce more?” Lu Zhuofeng looked at them confusedly, “Wait! Your zombie has run away. How are you supposed to produce more antidotes?”

Liu Zhinan glanced at them, but didn’t say anything as he turned his eyes to Hu Zhiyong.

“Oh, we are looking for more special zombies. I believe there are more than one of that kind. In the future, we might be able to replace it with other zombies. The effects might be slightly different, and the prices will be recalculated as well. And of course, we won’t give up on looking for the zombie which has run away from our lab,” Hu Zhiyong replied smilingly.

“I see…” The others nodded knowingly.

“Besides, we still have some blood that we took from that zombie, so we can produce another batch of antidotes,” Hu Zhiyong continued with a confident smile.

The others looked at him, again with surprise, “So, you’ve been holding back a trick!”

No wonder they hosted the meeting on schedule as if nothing had happened, even though the zombie had run away.

Not long after the antidote number two was released, Lin Qiao had moved into the building and gotten to the second floor. Hearing the conversation between the people there and seeing the composed look on those Huaxia Base leaders’ faces, she couldn’t help but show a fierce look in her eyes.

She wondered how those people would react in a couple of days when they found that their research institute had disappeared.

How could they find another zombie to replace Lin Kui so easily?

That day, after the exhibition, those base leaders each sent their people back home to prepare for the purchases.
