The dark age of mankind is coming

Although Battalion Commander Zhou told Company Commander Lin this, he actually believed in what An Ning said about the role of crystal nuclei.

After all, there is no need for a person who is willing to take risks to save a stranger regardless of his own safety to deliberately tell lies to deceive him.

Company Commander Lin: "Understood."

Leader Zhou Yingchangming: "Tell all the soldiers in our team to pay attention to collecting crystal nuclei from zombie heads.".

Company Commander Lin: "Yes.".

Not far from the Chengdu Government Building, there is a public park in Chengdu that covers a large area and is open to all citizens of the city.

Looking up from a distance, the small wrinkled chrysanthemums on both sides of the Yong Road in the park are blooming brilliantly, red, white, yellow, purple... in various shapes, gorgeous and beautiful.

The breeze was blowing, and before the pedestrians came close, there was a faint fragrance of flowers that hit the nostrils.

On the lawn like a green carpet, grass of different heights swayed in the breeze, like little girls dancing there.

At the entrance of the park, two thick and tall willow trees swayed their branches in the air with the breeze.

The dim light passed through the trees, reflecting the shadows of the trees in different shades.

The whole park is like a beautiful picture, which makes people feel relaxed and happy when they see it.

However, only people who have not experienced the apocalypse, or people who have not experienced fierce mutant plants, can have such a state of mind to appreciate this kind of refreshing beauty.

But now, Battalion Commander Zhou, Company Commander Lin and others sitting in the vanguard car were the ones who had no intention of admiring. "

Seeing the peaceful and comfortable scene in the park, instead of relaxing their spirits, on the contrary, made them extremely vigilant.

Especially, when I saw the two thick weeping willow trees with thousands of hanging branches standing at the entrance and exit of the park next to the road, my whole body's nerves suddenly became tense.

They had just experienced a life-and-death battle with three mutant ivy plants in the Chengdu City Government. The wounds they sustained were bleeding, but they didn't want to have to face another mutant plant at this time again. It’s a matter of fighting.

Who knows whether the weeping willow that looks completely different from now on will transform into a willow tree like a mutated ivy in the next moment.

Thinking of this, Battalion Commander Gao said: "Remind everyone to be vigilant for a while."

Company Commander Lin: "Yes".

The method of communication between the vanguard vehicle and the five military trucks was the same as the method used by An Ning and the others to communicate with the bus. They used radio stations that could communicate over short distances.

In each vehicle, the squad leader sitting in the front of the military vehicle each has a radio station, which is used to receive instructions from the vanguard vehicle.

After receiving the reminder from Captain Lin, all the soldiers were alert, loaded all the guns in their hands, and were always ready for attack and defense.

Because there were no residential buildings or apartments on both sides of the road going forward, they were all office buildings, banks and other commercial buildings, so their team did not encounter many zombies on the road.

Facing the sporadic zombies that jumped onto the road, the entire team did not choose to stop. Instead, they accelerated and passed by, so the team quickly arrived at the park, which was not too far away.

"Susususu..."

A breeze blew by, and two leafy weeping willow trees moved with the wind.

The moment the willow branches fluttered, the hearts of Battalion Commander Zhou, Company Commander Lin and others suddenly became excited.

"Russing, rustling...", the two weeping willows didn't know the uneasy mood of the people walking in front of them. The willow branches simply swayed from side to side in the breeze, without any change.

"Huh!" It wasn't until the entire convoy passed through the park that the weeping willows remained unchanged. Only then did Battalion Commander Zhou, Company Commander Lin and others relax and let out a sigh of relief.

Captain Lin said happily: "Fortunately, it's okay. It seems that not all plants have mutated now, and only some of the plants have mutated."

Camp Commander Zhou said: "Yes. Fortunately! If all the plants on Blue Star mutate, then the environment for us humans to survive will be even more difficult."

Company Commander Lin said: "Battal Commander, we successfully rescued the people from the Chengdu Government. Are we going directly to the secret research institute now?"

The soldiers of their battalion came to Rongcheng for rescue this time, and they had two main destinations.

One is the Rongcheng City Government where they have already been and successfully rescued people.

The other one is a secret research institute set up at the port of Chengdu, which they haven't had time to go to yet.

Previously, it was considered that the Chengdu City Government had a larger number of people in need of rescue and the location was closer to the city center. The safety of the people trapped inside was lower than that of a secret research institute located at a sparsely populated port.

And it was relatively close to where they were stationed, so the rescue plan they made before setting off was to make the Chengdu City Government their first destination.

The secret research institute is the second destination for rescue.

Battalion Commander Zhou said: "Go directly to the second destination port to rescue those researchers.".

The rest of the journey went smoothly. Apart from encountering some small-scale, scattered zombies that did not pose much of a threat to the team, their team of survivors had grown a bit.

On the way, some survivors who were trapped and didn't know what to do saw the military vehicles taking the lead in leaving the team, and they all hurriedly dressed up and followed them.

Since he did not encounter much danger along the way, Battalion Commander Zhou arranged for two soldiers with speed powers and two soldiers with power powers to take turns to kill the crystal nuclei of the zombies they killed on the road. Collected.

Although they didn't encounter many zombies each time, they collected dozens of them along the way.

Now that the crystal core is there, to know whether the crystal core can really improve the effect of the superpower's abilities, the only thing left is to find time to conduct experiments later.

In the secret research institute at the port, on the underground floor, there is a closed room surrounded by bulletproof glass.

The five researchers who are still alive in the institute are all wearing the same white coats, and they are all gathered in this room in utter embarrassment.

An old man with silver hair and a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, an old man with gray hair, a middle-aged woman with her hair in a bun, a middle-aged man with a slicked back hair and a young man.

However, looking at the situation of the five surviving researchers at this time, it was obvious that they were divided into two factions. The larger group looked at the smaller group angrily.
