Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

Chapter 185: The Situation of Mutation

Yu Xiaowei looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that in addition to Gong Youqing and the others, there were another two people hiding beside a tree. However, Gong Youqing looked like he could no longer hold on. Under the tree, two zombies were greedily looking for food.

"Hold on, I'm coming." Yu Xiaowei shouted. However, the zombies beside him didn't notice her voice as they were concentrating on Gong Youqing.

Because the zombie was lying on its side, Yu Xiaowei thought it had been knocked down. In fact, it had just been bitten by a zombie but had not yet transformed.

The zombie was about to stand up and rush towards Yu Xiaowei, but when it grabbed her throat, it suddenly stopped, as if ignoring her existence, and then unexpectedly turned to the crowd in front and chased after her.

At this time, Liu Peng and Suo Ming had already arrived to reinforce. Joining their team, Yu Xiaowei quickly arrived under the tree and hit it twice. One was killed on the spot, and the other was slightly off-center, avoiding the fatal part. When it tried to pounce on Yu Xiaowei, Shang Yun, who came from behind, smashed its skull with the light power.

"Come down quickly!" Seeing that the crisis had been resolved, Yu Xiaowei raised his eyes and looked at Gong Youqing who was making funny movements and shouted.

"That's enough..." Her hands were already in so much pain from being in such a big embrace that she couldn't bear it any more. Although she just remembered how to get up, she found it difficult to even go back, as if she was tied to this tree.

After the internal analysis team checked, the sentry at the door confirmed that it was indeed Yu Xiaowei and his companions who killed the zombie.

It is said that the problem was ultimately related to housing issues. In order to prevent problems from happening again due to the previous incident, they decided to send soldiers to clean up. Even though they were working with cut-resistant rubber gloves, their fingers were accidentally cut and pierced in some sharp places.

But usually after daily exercise, the hands form a thick layer of cuticles, and minor injuries are not taken seriously at all; the virus has already quietly invaded, and the reaction is triggered only halfway through the work process. They all know the subsequent development and results: this infected zombie soldier caused several companions to run wildly after being infected.

Yu Xiaowei hesitated for a moment when faced with whether to make such a suggestion. He felt that there was no need to send special cleaners. All he needed to do was to flush these areas with water, sweep them with a broom, and wait until everything was dry. It should be noted that the discharged water must be properly handled. First, it must be filtered through a substance to ensure that the filtered water is burned cleanly, so that secondary pollution can be eliminated.

These countermeasures were discovered and proposed during the exploration phase of the post-apocalyptic world in a certain year. They are extremely effective and easy to operate. But the most important thing is that any use of cleaned water must be paid special attention and must be properly handled to avoid accidentally giving rise to secondary threats such as "zombie rats" or "zombie cockroaches". Research at that time showed that the "zombie virus" could only genetically transform organisms that had been in contact with it. The charm of nature is that many pollutions can be properly resolved through treatment or filtration.

In fact, when humans are exposed to the zombie virus but do not transform into zombies - provided that the virus only destroys a part of the tissue rather than causing the whole body to transform, theoretically, it is possible to prevent becoming "dead" by cleaning the infected wound and completely replacing the body fluids. This is an ideal state. In reality, large-scale blood transfusion is not realistic, but with the later existence of the pure therapeutic special physique of the Light Department, the feasibility of this strategy has been improved.

If someone has only been bitten by a "zombie" but has not yet transformed, and is treated by a specific "light-based" healing person with special physical qualities, the probability of survival can be greatly increased. The probability increases as the level of the healer's special ability increases. Although there are still cases of failure, it at least represents a glimmer of hope. Because of this, once this type of purely healing individual comes out, it becomes an important investment for various bases, providing more advanced energy crystal core supplements for their training.

As for the scarcity of this energy crystal core, it is not exclusive to "zombies", but only to groups such as superpowers, mutant life, special plants and animals, and high-level "zombies". Therefore, its preciousness and rarity are extremely high, especially when they are related to beasts above level one, plants, and high-attack zombies of level two and above. The acquisition of these resources requires balanced considerations. Generally speaking, these resources are more common in high-level creatures. Until the doomsday cycle five years ago, the number of real "superpowers" was still limited, extremely rare and hard to come by.

Despite this, it is said that Yu Xiaowei knows of a famous person who had reached the sixth level during that period. Although he had only heard of him in past lives but had never seen him in person, it is still unknown whether he will be able to meet him this time.

【About the “First Batch of Special Qualifications”】

After listening to Yu Xiaowei's idea, the military personnel agreed and immediately sent people back to the base to consult the scientific consultant they had received in Ocean Golden City. Not long after, they received a reply from the expert, who also stated that Yu Xiaowei's idea was one of the most appropriate approaches at the moment.

The benefit of this method is that it can reduce unintentional "genetic mutations" in the workflow and thoroughly clean the room to a dust-free and mess-free state. In the end, the proposal was successfully approved.

Because of Yu Xiaowei's method, and the fact that she and her companions were responsible for dealing with a lot of zombies when everyone was busy escaping, the military gave them the opportunity to live in the inner floors of residential houses after the base was built, and enjoy a 50% rent reduction.

Yu Xiaowei felt that she was indeed very lucky. If she had not insisted that Gong Youqing and her family stay at the door, she might not have been so bold to charge to the front to save people at the beginning of the zombie outbreak, and she might have missed the opportunity to get the privilege. After all, there were indeed people fighting in the back, but the key was that she and the team bravely rushed forward and rescued one person, and the method they used, which allowed them to have such special treatment.

More importantly, this time Gong Youqing's family was not harmed. Even if she had this special right, it would have been meaningless to her. But now it was completely different. Not only did she get this privilege, but she also kept her family safe. She promised to protect Gong Youqing's family's safety for her lifetime, and now at least a small part of it has been fulfilled. Living in a private house is always relatively safer than living in the outer area.

At this point, Yu Xiaowei realized that her "good luck value" did play a significant role. Although she used to think that luck was just an illusion and had no practical effect, it should not be ignored at a critical moment. Imagine what would happen if she strengthened her luck a little more? Maybe she could take better care of her friends around her. If she had improved her luck a little faster, could she have saved the master who was killed by mistake? She was not sure about this, but she had decided to go all out. Even if the points required to convert 10 points of luck each time increased exponentially, she was willing to spend conversion points to ensure the safety of her relatives and friends behind her.

Just now, when she and Gong Youqing's family were helping with the rescue, two brothers from the Pan family also actively participated, and the second brother was the first to follow them. As a result, the two successfully defeated several zombies. For this gratitude, Yu Xiaowei has expressed his regards to them and formally invited them to settle in the residential area.

Although the cleanup has not been completed yet, they still choose to wait and see. They plan to move the whole family to the inner house before taking action. Considering that the family members do not have special abilities, surviving in such an environment is always full of risks.

However, it is worth noting that, despite the fact that most of the members are non-powered, the Pan brothers are extremely considerate of their family members. They do not regard family members who do not have special abilities as a burden.

But they are not completely selfless. After tasting Yu Xiaowei's cooking, the three brothers were eager to join them. Yu Xiaowei's cooking skills are widely praised, and everyone praises her dishes; she is also a wise person, and the methods she proposed are simple and novel. In addition, they were not left behind in the process of obtaining permissions. After negotiation, the three brothers decided to leave here with their families and settle down. In the future, the three of them will follow Yu Xiaowei.

Yu Xiaowei didn't know that her unintentional action had inspired the Peng brothers' ideas to some extent. At that moment not long ago, Peng Lebin also rushed to help at the first time. If the workload of eliminating zombies was measured by numbers, he would definitely have a place in it.

After obtaining the right to participate, Yu Xiaowei incorporated them into the action team.

Gong Youqing and his family had just witnessed Yu Xiaowei's ability. Even though they had sought help afterwards, just from that scene, where Yu Xiaowei beat the zombies to a bloody pulp with a stick, it was clear that Gong Youqing could never achieve such calmness and courage. "Xiaowei, that was so cool just now. How did you manage to deal with such an enemy so calmly?" After experiencing that shocking scene, Gong Youqing slowly lowered her voice.

The strong adrenaline rush when she first spotted the zombies made her unexpectedly jump onto the branches. But after the danger passed, Gong Youqing found that her limbs were no longer under her control, and her legs seemed to be weak. It seemed impossible to try to get down from the tree alone, and she didn't even dare to move. She felt terrified standing by a tree in the distance, let alone getting close to the zombies and fighting them.

At this moment, the three of them comforted each other and finally found a little relief. "In fact, you can treat it as a monster in the game. This game does not allow you to make mistakes again. Once you die, it's over. Maybe you can overcome the difficulties with just one fight." Yu Xiaowei did not want to put too much psychological pressure on Gong Youqing, but she would not allow the other party to underestimate the crisis because of her help. "In this chaotic world, perhaps a relaxed attitude means a lower possibility of survival. I understand the value of working hard to improve myself, but I can't always be by your side.
