Volume 3 Chapter 20 Destroying the base
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
After successfully avoiding the disaster, Shao Qing came out from under the table, sighed and glanced at the man and a woman on the table and was blinded by the fat on the man’s body.
She covered her face and quietly went out.
After being discovered, her actions were much more careful, otherwise she will be swarmed by all sides and she will not be able to destroy this base.
She quietly planted dodder seeds in the hallway. As long as someone passed by, they would be covered with dodder seeds. She couldn’t rashly let the dodder enter those people’s bodies because it would be easily discovered.
The seeds of these dodders would stay on the surface of their bodies, there would be no movement at all. In the event of a direct confrontation, they would quickly grow like parasitic spores and interfere with the host.
At the same time, Shao Qing also did another bad thing. She had taken out the pollen from Qiu Tang, soaked it in water, then used it to soak the dodder seeds.
That is to say, the dodder seeds all carried the toxins of Qiu Tang. Although they have been diluted with water, once someone was contaminated, they will slowly weaken.
This kind of powerlessness would not be felt. But once they start fighting, they will discover that something was wrong.
It can be said that Shao Qing’s sneak attack was perfect.
After all, she was just one person against a group of people, she had to damage them somehow.
After everything was laid out, she began to slaughter. This time it was a thorough slaughter. As soon as she found a single patrol squad, she would immediately shoot out and kill them.
A patrol squad of no more than ten people, when facing her, was like delivering food.
Those Gaizo people had an average strength that was above rank 3 superhumans, but what about Shao Qing? She was only one step away from the sixth rank. A couple of rank 3 and 4s were nothing.
Even if these Gaizo people do not feel pain or fatigue, it still doesn’t matter.
This was because they were killed in seconds.
Gradually, the people at the base found out that something was wrong. There was a team of Gaizo who went out to patrol but they never returned and it wasn’t just one or two teams. A good several teams were missing.
And the numbers were increasing.
The senior management immediately ordered that two Gaizo squads be combined into one. If an abnormality was found, it would be reported immediately.
Following that, they discovered many high-level executives had died in their rooms. An inexplicable panic spread through the base.
They had no idea how many people had sneaked into the base or what the other party’s goal was, they only knew that their people were dying.
But when it was uncertain how many infiltrators there were, it was inconvenient to request for help. If the rescue team came over and found that there were only a few infiltrators, wouldn’t it be a big slap to the face?
After nearly half of the Gaizos disappeared inexplicably, the senior officials finally couldn’t help but send out a signal for help.
As soon as she saw the distress signal, Shao Qing jumped. She had to kill this group of people within a short time and then quickly evacuate, otherwise she would be finished.
At this point, she did not need to hide. She directly found a merged team of Gaizo and at the start of battle she released Guang Guang.
Guang Guang bloomed very luxuriantly. It was about two stories high. Once released, it quickly took root and broke the floor. Its roots extended to the first floor, the canopy broke the ceiling, and the dense branches also extended to the four sides. It was demonstrating its inexplicable arrogance.
But all those who were shrouded in light, whether they were normal people or Gaizo people, were slow to move and fell into hallucinations. Although they were slow to move or fell into hallucinations, the duration was very short and they would soon wake up. But this instance was enough.
The vines in Shao Qing’s hands quickly broke their necks and if they escaped, they would be killed by Shao Qing with her knife.
More than a dozen Gaizo, under Shao Qing’s mercilessness, lasted less than a minute.
Guang Guang was too big. Countless people quickly rushed towards it, while Shao Qing stood under the tree, not moving like a mountain.
She was ready to take out the entire base by herself.
Some people came sooner and died sooner. When they arrived in front of Shao Qing, they hadn’t even had the chance to activate their powers yet when small vines suddenly grew out of their bodies. The roots of the dodder seeds stabbed into their flesh carrying the toxins from Qiu Tang.
Immediately thereafter, Shao Qing shot out.
When the tops of the base came with their strongest team of Gaizos, they only saw a tall tree and a beautiful woman standing under the tree with countless dead bodies lying on the ground.
The dense bodies made their scalp numb.
They considered how many intruders there were, but they never thought there would only be one.
One woman.
Standing on the spot, she killed countless Gaizos.
If someone had told them before that someone had this ability, they would laugh at that person without reservation. How can that even be possible?
That would only be possible if the other party was God.
But now, the facts were before them.
Shao Qing lit a cigarette very pretentiously. She held it in her mouth, looked at the person coming over with a melancholy atmosphere, and then stretched out her hand. The vines surrounded her like living creatures. As long as a fight started, they would fly out searching for their prey, tie them up, pierce through their skin with their spikes and pour venom into them.
Rather than saying that they were a pile of vines, it was better to say that they were venomous snakes in the plant kingdom and the spikes were their fangs.
The Gaizos who came this time were obviously higher ranked than the previous ones, that is, just a little higher. At most it would just make Shao Qing work a little harder.
Nothing she couldn’t handle easily.
Shao Qing directed the vines and strangled one Gaizo after another. Her eyes were full of pity. She really doesn’t know why some people in this world would be willing to be transformed into people who had no conscience, no pain, and even feelings.
While she was struggling to find a way to become a normal person, some people voluntarily accepted this transformation.
Is power really that important?
Perhaps it was the ambition of becoming superior that was more important.
After relying on Guang Guang to kill a bunch of Gaizo, Shao Qing was a little dissatisfied. She began to walk actively to the second floor. Starting from the second floor, she looked into each room. She was not going to even let one go.
After checking the second and first floor, she went down to the basement of the base, which was a laboratory. There were many semi-finished products still lying on the operating table.
Shao Qing had to say that it was disgusting.
When she arrived at the laboratory, she figured out how the so-called Gaizos were made.
Just like the zombie superhumans created by the mad demon mercenary group before, at least in principle, they were similar. They had injected a very special medicine to people who have been bitten, but have not yet become zombies.
This would keep their bodies in the process of zombification, but maintain a certain sense of reason. Their intellect would be very low, equivalent to a few years old children. Then they would use another drug to control them.
Of course, people who have been bitten, but who have not yet become zombies were hard to find. Thus they took ordinary people and allowed zombies to bite them, then carried out the so-called transformation.
As for the transformation of superhumans, their strength was higher than that of zombies because their intellect was higher than that of zombies.
There were two types of superhuman transformation. One was to replace the limbs with machinery, and the other was to transform towards zombification.
Researchers at the base found that the reason why superhumans were not infected by zombies was because their cells had been mutated, different from ordinary people.
Once bitten and scratched by a zombie, cells infected with poison will automatically necrosis and be excreted, so the superhumans will not be infected.
So they thought of another way, which is to allow zombies to infect ordinary people, then extract the infected and active cells from the ordinary people’s bodies and implant it into the body of a superhuman.
The facts tell them that this method can indeed infect superhumans while retaining certain abilities of the superhumans.
At least the fighting instinct can be preserved, as well as certain portions of their ability and cognition.
After the modification, the combat power will be much higher than the average superhuman.
These were discovered by Shao Qing after reading the materials kept in the base. She was scrambling around to slay the Gaizo while looking for research materials in the base.
At that time these materials would be destroyed by her.
However, after obtaining the information, Shao Qing changed her mind. She discovered that these people had taken their findings the wrong way.
What if they changed the direction of these thoughts? For example, studying the cells of the superhumans to find out why the cells of theirs are different. Could they invent drugs that resist the poison?
Although Shao Qing now stands opposite to human beings because of the previous events, she still hoped that this medicine could be invented.
After going back, she can hand over the information to Grandpa Qin, hoping it will be useful.
After putting all the materials into her own space, Shao Qing was like a barbarous robber. She directly turned into a killing machine. Regardless of the method and where she was, she would kill without care.
Blocking the road? Killed. Escaped? Catch up and get killed. Surround her? Killed.
At the beginning, the top management of the base continued to organize manpower to try to kill Shao Qing. In the later periods, they only tried to flee while sending the Gaizos to death to delay time for their rescue.
But no one was able to stop Shao Qing’s pace, not even for a moment. Dumbfounded, the chief of this base was still relatively decisive. He gritted his teeth and commanded: “Release number 17396.”
The people under him were immediately stunned: “No. 17396, is only a semi-finished product!”
The reason why it was a semi-finished product was not to say that the transformation had not been completed, but that nothing was implanted to control it.
If it was released, what the result would be, no one would know.
In case it got crazy, even if the intruder was killed, they also would not be able to control No. 17396. In the end, both sides would be defeated.
“Did you hear me? I said let it out!” The base chief gritted his teeth, the blue tendons on his head were ready to burst. The most important thing now was to kill the intruder. After the intruder was killed, the rescuers should arrive soon. At that time, they will definitely be able to control 17396.
He calculated it well.
The other two people responded quickly and hurried to the deepest place. Soon, a roar rang out through the entire base, even Shao Qing heard it.
She stopped, then lifted her ears to listen carefully. Could this group have released their final move?
She listened carefully for a while and found nothing wrong. She didn’t even hear the sound of someone approaching, so she continued on.
After walking for a while, a group of people stumbled out and ran over. The lead was an ordinary person, probably one of the tops of the base. Several others covered in blood following behind looked particularly miserable.
This was not most crucial though. The most crucial was that the last thing that followed, which was…. probably once a person?
The reason why it was said that they once were a person was because it really had no resemblance to a human at all anymore. Its huge body was like a giant orangutan and its muscle surface was a net of green blood vessels.
It had stitches on its waist and its lower body looked like some kind of ape.
One of its eyes was dug out, with an electronic eyeball replacing it. There were dense blood vessels on his face. It could be seen vaguely that it used to be a very handsome man.

So, basically, this novel is about how in the apocalypse the worse won’t be the zombies, but the humans left. Yeah, humans are the scariest monsters.
