Apocalypse World Upgrade Program

After the seven-day natural disaster, the greatest enemy of human beings—zombies was born.Zombies are wandering outside the city, destroying all living life, which is the greatest crisis for human survival.If humans want to search for supplies from outside the city, the biggest problem is how to deal with the zombies.

According to the system, the reason for the zombies to come back to life is that ghost energy gathers to form a crystal nucleus attached to the corpse to control the movement of the corpse. As long as the connection between the crystal nucleus and the zombie is destroyed, the zombie will lose its ability to move.And this is why most of the zombies are human beings. Human beings are rich in emotions, and the strong negative emotions that erupt before death nourish the ghost energy, forming a ghost nucleus that is sufficient to manipulate the corpse.

In the final analysis, the biggest threat to human beings is not zombies, but ghosts.Although human beings now have the protection of spiritual energy, which can resist the erosion of ghost energy in the air, if they are directly injected with a large amount of ghost energy, when the ghost energy in the body exceeds the spiritual energy, people will mutate, be swallowed by the ghost energy, and become a member of the zombies .

Therefore, you must not be injured by zombies. In this situation, although large zombies are dangerous, people are always vigilant and it is not easy to cause accidents. On the contrary, small zombies such as insects are more likely to cause casualties.

Fortunately, the seven-day natural disaster was too powerful, and there were very few small creatures left with whole bodies, and the living creatures were protected by spiritual energy and did not change from ghosts, which gave humans a chance to breathe.

As early as the zombies first appeared, the Yuan Empire and the Star Federal Academy of Sciences began to study zombies.When the Alliance was established, the Academy of Sciences had already researched most of the characteristics and hazards of zombies.However, since the Academy of Sciences does not have such a plug-in system, they believe that the birth of zombies is due to the mutation of a strange virus brought by the seven-day natural disaster.

The zombie response plan given by the Academy of Sciences was made public after Chu Li and Aurora secretly perfected it. Only then did the alliance put the establishment of a search force on the agenda, and finally established the first search force on April 2036, 4.

After the establishment of the search force, in order to improve efficiency and reduce sacrifices, the force was divided into two divisions: reconnaissance and escort.A reconnaissance team composed of a small number of elite members set off first to search for supplies on the wasteland, taking a small amount of supplies directly as supplies, and if a large amount of supplies is found, the news will be sent back to the headquarters, and the headquarters will send a large number of escort troops to quickly bring the supplies back to the city .

The six people from Chu Li went through various selections to join the investigation team and formed the ninth investigation team. The six people named the team Liming, with the vigor and hope of young people.Tomorrow they will start their first search mission, leave the shelter of the city, and truly wander in the last days.

On the second day, on the playground of the military headquarters of the search force, [-] elite teams neatly lined up. After routine lectures, they began to swear to each other!

Every member of the reconnaissance team stepped forward in an orderly manner, and the commander solemnly put the kits containing Xindu soil on the waists of the soldiers.

This trip is full of dangers, [-] teams set off but no one knows how many people will come back, but no one retreats, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire and hell on earth in front of them, but behind them is their homeland, as a soldier, you can only move forward and never retreat!

The swearing-in is over, ready to go!Twenty teams boarded military pickup trucks and drove to the crisis-ridden post-apocalyptic wasteland, looking for hope of survival among the ruins of the city.

----

The wilderness outside the new capital is desolate and quiet, without any trace of the prosperity of the past. There are only a few zombies wandering in the large fertile soil, and occasionally let out a few out of tune howls.A pickup truck ran over the horizon and roared across the wilderness, attracting the attention of wandering zombies. They roared excitedly and rushed towards the fresh flesh.However, before they approached, the window of the car was lowered, and a black muzzle protruded. After a few puffs, no zombie got up again.

In the car, Yu Qing was scolding Wei Rufeng: "Old Wei, don't waste bullets, there are no supplies at any time outside, so use sparingly."

"Understood, isn't it because I'm afraid of being entangled again. I'll change it right away. Otherwise, put this gun in your place for safekeeping, and give it to me when there's a fight."

"What stupid things are you talking about? Control yourself!"

"Yes, if Rufeng shoots indiscriminately again, your dinner will be given to everyone as an extra meal."

"Boss, how can you be so cruel. I will definitely not shoot indiscriminately, and resolutely obey orders!"

"However, that's a zombie. It's really scary. It's more uncomfortable than what I saw in the virtual training ground. It's obviously just an ordinary corpse, but just looking at it makes me feel uncomfortable."

Hearing Lan Tian's words, Chu Li and Aurora looked at each other, both surprised by Lan Tian's keenness.When ordinary people see zombies infested with ghost aura, to a certain extent, they will be affected by ghost aura to produce negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, and fear.The influence of this kind of ghost air cannot be simulated by the virtual training ground.Unexpectedly, Lan Tian noticed the difference between the real zombies and the virtual training after meeting the zombies face to face.

Chu Li and Aurora came out this time, in addition to collecting supplies, they also had another purpose, which was to have an excuse to release more detailed information on zombies and ghosts, so as to reduce human losses.

----

Three days ago, the dawn team and other search teams parted ways at the exit of Xindu.The Dawn team chose to head towards the south of Xindu. They were attacked by zombies when they first entered the wilderness.

Due to the shortage of materials, the team members mainly use cold weapons to fight.Although equipped with polymer vibrating knives and various thermal weapons, these powerful but expensive weapons can only be used as the ultimate means of life-saving when energy and supplies cannot be replenished in time.

When Lan Tian, ​​Wei Rufeng, Le Linghan, and Yu Qing were suddenly attacked by zombies, they almost wasted a lot of energy and ammunition because of their nervousness.It was Chu Li who sensed that something was wrong, stepped on her foot suddenly to speed up, and instantly increased the speed of the car, interrupting the preparations of the four people to attack, so that a lot of supplies were not wasted in vain.

The roar of the pickup truck's acceleration attracted the attention of more zombies. They rushed up at the limit speed that humans could achieve, trying to break the car and tear the people inside.

Without blinking, Chu Li stepped on the gas pedal and knocked the zombies blocking the road into the air. The speed of the zombies couldn't outrun the speeding car, as long as they were not surrounded, they could shake off the zombies.

Fighting zombies is the stupidest choice, and it doesn't make any sense except wasting supplies.Because even if you beat the "dead" zombie, if you don't dispose of the corpse, the corpse will "live" again after the ghost energy gathers on the corpse to form crystals again.And outside the city where zombies are rampant, where is there so much time, energy and supplies to destroy the corpses?The crystal nucleus condensed by ghost energy is even more dangerous. If you don't pay attention, you will be infected and become a zombie, so Chu Li just wants to get rid of the zombies' pursuit with a car.

However, things backfired, and the car stopped moving as the sound of "咔咚咚" sounded.

"Damn it! There must be a zombie caught in the wheels and stuck the car to death!"

"Ali, get out of the car."

"Well, okay, the four of you stay in the car to support us temporarily. Remember, don't use weapons indiscriminately in a fever!"

After exhorting the four of them, Chu Li picked up the weapon and got out of the car, and started to clean up the zombies with Aurora.

Chu Li's weapons are two custom-made scimitars, slender, slightly curved, and the smooth and beautiful blades shone coldly under the sunlight.Aurora held a chain blade in her hand. At this time, the chain blade was in the shape of a retracted knife. There was a row of obvious barbs on the back of the knife. If you look carefully, there are also tiny serrations on the blade. It is cold and sharp.

Chu Li and Aurora have experienced more difficult battles than this one. Although Aurora has lost her memory, but fortunately, fighting zombies has become a kind of instinct for them. Dealing with zombies of this level is simply cutting melons chop vegetables.

On the left, Chu Li brandished a pair of knives, using two purposes at once, stabbing left and slashing right, quickly harvesting the surrounding zombies.Aurora on the right opened the chain blade and waved it, only to see a few flashes of cold light, and all the zombies who rushed up had fallen down.While they were cleaning up the nearby zombies, more and more zombies gathered and approached unsteadily, and the ones that were closer had already smelled the breath of the living and rushed over quickly.

Being entangled with them would be endless, Chu Li gave up on continuing to entangle with the zombies, and under the cover of Aurora, quickly cleared out the zombies stuck in the car.Get on the car with Aurora under the adoring eyes of four people, start the car, and drive away.

That night, when they were stationed in a safe place to rest, the four of them were severely taught by Chu Li and Aurora, and they were pressed and forced to learn the precautions and how to deal with zombies several times before they were let go .

----

Back to the present, Chu Li and the others have been driving in the wilderness for three days.Under the training of Sparta along the way of Chu Li, the four of Lan Tian have faced zombies from the initial nervousness and fear to now being able to knock down the zombies while bickering against the faces of the zombies pressing on the car window. The progress can be described as divine speed.

With the rolling of the wheels, slowly, the wilderness has disappeared, replaced by traces of buildings destroyed by disasters.After traveling for four days, Chu Li and his team finally arrived at the nearest city——Hengcheng, and investigated whether there were any materials preserved in this city.

This is a city destroyed by a hurricane. Compared with a city covered in lava, submerged in seawater, and swallowed by the earth, this city is relatively well preserved, and there is a great possibility of finding supplies.But in the same way, city ruins in the last days are more dangerous than wilderness. A large number of zombies wander in the city, and some places where a large number of zombies gather even produce a miasma formed by ghosts, covering the city like a ghost. A warning to people who want to enter the city, entering the city means a narrow escape.

Huancheng, one of the acropolises of the Yuan Empire before the last days, was very prosperous, with a population of more than 3 million.After the end of the world, according to statistics, less than 600 people escaped from Hengcheng, including the garrison.This means that it is now conservatively estimated that there are 10 million zombies wandering in this dead city.Fortunately, when the apocalypse broke out during the Spring Festival, the crowd was basically concentrated in residential areas, and the number of zombies in other places was relatively small.

After entering the urban area, ordinary roads have been completely destroyed, and cars cannot move forward at all.The special passage in the fallen city was shut down urgently after the zombie frenzy started. The six people had no choice but to park their car in a safe area and prepare to take a week's worth of food, water and equipment, and enter the crisis-ridden city on foot.
