The new troops had been formed, and they still needed to be trained before the actual battle. However, the frontlines weren't in a tight spot, and the main focus of the attack was on the city. The Mutant Beasts were food for the zombies, but weren't the zombies food for the Mutant Beasts?
The new troops allowed Huang Tingwei to shift the focus of his work, and Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't need to run to the frontlines to kill the Mutant Beasts. He took the cores and colloids that Xue Feng had given him and returned to his room.
The ten packets of colloids and nuclei gave Zhang Xiaoqiang a headache. Now that he had summed up some of his experience, he knew that Mutants would become stronger after eating colloids, but he didn't have the means to control them. Most of the Evolvers at the frontlines were elites brought out of the city, and they didn't have a strong sense of belonging to them. These people needed a long time to be trained, and only after they had settled down in the backlines would they be tied to the revival of China.
But now? Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't want to waste these things on them.
Zhang Xiaoqiang, who was letting his imagination run wild, opened the safe, and his eyes widened. He thought that the safe wouldn't be able to hold all of them, but who knew … "Peng …" Zhang Xiaoqiang fiercely closed the safe, and then opened it again, only to see that there was nothing inside. Level 5 colloids, level 4 colloids, level 3 colloids, level 2 colloids, and level 1 colloids were all gone. There were only a few hundred small nuclei scattered at the bottom. It seemed like they were thrown there because someone didn't like them.
"Zhuo Mingyue … you and I are irreconcilable …" Zhang Xiaoqiang gritted his teeth and roared. He punched the safe's outer shell, and the high-density alloy shell immediately caved in. Originally, he had a headache over these things, but he was just pretending to be happy, like a rich man sighing over his wealth. But Zhuo Mingyue had come in once, and there was nothing left. Even if she left the level 3 and above ones for Zhang Xiaoqiang, it would still be better.
After being angry for a long time, Zhang Xiaoqiang sat down on the bed and immediately noticed that something was wrong. The bed was neat and tidy, and the floor had been swept. The guns and ammunition were hung on the wall, and the wine bottles had been removed. Even the messy materials under the bed had been cleaned and were neatly stacked in a corner. There was also a titanium alloy thermostat box next to his feet. This box made Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes hurt. He used the tip of his foot to lift the lid, and he discovered that there were actually countless glass test tubes wrapped in titanium alloy inside.
Shanghai was the economic and financial center, and at the same time, it was also a high-tech research center. There were countless equipment and goods that were rarely seen in the mainland. Zhang Xiaoqiang naturally recognized that these test tubes were the equipment used to store drugs in the laboratory. Cold smoke curled up from the box, dispersing into the air. The shining test tubes were like treasures waiting to be unearthed, causing Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart to slightly tremble. He held a cold and clear test tube in his hand, and looked at the orange-red liquid slowly flowing inside in puzzlement.
Then he discovered that the liquid in the test tubes had different colors. There were three test tubes in the core, two of which were ice blue, one of which was fiery red, and the other was as deep as the sea. The flowing liquid exuded a faint mist as it swirled on the transparent wall of the tube, forming sixteen extremely tiny snowflakes and then vanishing. The cycle was endless, as if this test tube had given birth to a world of ice and snow.
The fiery red test tube was slightly worse. There was no liquid flowing, only a seemingly solid flame burning inside the test tube. Holding it in his hand, he couldn't feel any heat, which made him feel so conflicted that he wanted to vomit blood.
"Could it be that … she used an entire night to purify all the colloids?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the box in astonishment, knowing that he had wronged Zhuo Mingyue. The colloids had no use for Zhuo Mingyue. What Zhuo Mingyue needed were the crystal cores, which were not important to Zhang Xiaoqiang. In fact, if Zhuo Mingyue needed the colloids, Zhang Xiaoqiang would not be stingy. He was angry just now because he thought that Zhuo Mingyue had cheated. After all, the colloids were valuable items that could directly increase one's ability.
The resentment in his heart dissipated, and Zhang Xiaoqiang pressed the open button on the ice blue test tube. A bone-chilling cold immediately surrounded Zhang Xiaoqiang's fingertips, and on the back of his hand, a layer of frost visibly condensed. In an instant, the liquid in the test tube was reduced by one-tenth. Zhang Xiaoqiang quickly closed it, and picked up the fiery red test tube, hesitating.
After opening the solution made from the level 5 colloids, Zhang Xiaoqiang understood what had happened. The colloids had always been a knot in his heart. This thing was 100% effective on evolvers, but it was also full of uncertainty. Take himself for example, there was a 90% chance that he would get a new ability. This ability could be amazing, but it could also be useless. Just like the comparison between him and Meow. Meow had eaten the first piece, and his speed was unparalleled, but that was it. Eating the second piece gave him the ability to instantly kill any opponent, but he only got the ability to control the Rat King's Blade in disguise. To be able to get to where he was today, he had slowly unearthed this inconspicuous ability, and made breakthroughs after breakthroughs. If he had relied on eating the colloids from the beginning, then Zhang Xiaoqiang would probably still be the same as before.
Now that the colloids had been purified by Zhuo Mingyue, at least there were no side effects like before, so it made Zhang Xiaoqiang feel conflicted. Another ability might not be a good thing for Zhang Xiaoqiang, but for now, the Rat King's Blade was enough. Although it was only the sharp claws of a level 1 mutated beast, for a rat that was born to burrow, claws were the strongest weapons. With the addition of his ability, he had not found anything that he could not break, and if he was distracted by other abilities, he might end up wasting both of them.
In the future, the enemies he would meet would become stronger and stronger, and even the Snake Scale Armor would not be able to block them. There would be giant beasts that were hundreds of meters tall, and there would be countless mutated beasts and seabirds. Of course, there would be other enemies as well. If the new era could create the first aerial battleship, then they would be able to create more battleships. There were also zombies, who knew what kind of monsters would appear in the future? The more he thought about it, the heavier his mood became.
The more Zhang Xiao Qiang thought about it, the heavier his mood became. Finally, Zhang Xiao Qiang steeled his heart and opened the lid to drink the purified solution. In an instant, the captivating fragrance rushed into his nose and was swallowed by Zhang Xiao Qiang and the fiery liquid. For a moment, he was immersed in a wonderful illusion. It was not a spiritual illusion, but a kind of intoxicating feeling that made him intoxicated. His body contained a burning hot current that was like countless little mice running around. The purified solution was indeed different. Not only did Zhang Xiao Qiang not feel drowsy, his control over his own body had reached an unprecedented level in an instant … ….
In the land of flesh and blood, a rotten smell filled the skyscrapers. Countless mutated beasts howled under the sharp claws of the zombies, and a faint bloody mist filled the air. On top of a building that even the terrifying giant beasts did not collapse, Xue Feng Fu greedily caressed Chen Qingyun's body. His eyes radiated a fiery light. When he touched every part of Chen Qingyun's body from head to toe, he revealed a wretched smile. This made Zhuo Mingyue, who was hiding in the distance, feel disgusted. Could this be the legendary gay?
Without waiting for Zhuo Mingyue to turn around and leave, Xue Ran stood up and roared at the sky. His whole body instantly collapsed, and in the midst of the flying flesh and blood, a scarlet band of sticky blood wrapped around Chen Qingyun. The sudden change made Zhuo Mingyue stop in her tracks. She stared at Chen Qingyun, who was wrapped in a giant blood cocoon, without blinking. The surrounding blood waves that looked like flood dragons flowed into the blood cocoon like rivers flowing into the sea. The blood cocoon suddenly swelled up, and veins appeared on the blood cocoon like a network, weaving a strange image that was evil to the point of being beautiful.
Zhuo Mingyue ignored the countless mutated beasts and zombies fighting below and stared at the giant blood cocoon. She hesitated whether or not she should go and destroy it. In her mind, anything that could threaten Zhang Xiaoqiang should be destroyed. As she hesitated, she remembered the scene of Zhang Xiaoqiang standing together with the zombies and immediately extinguished the thought of destroying the blood phoenix. No matter what, Zhang Xiaoqiang naturally had his own plans. As a traditional woman, Zhuo Mingyue did not want to interfere with a man's decision.
More than an hour later, countless blood waves entered the blood cocoon, but it did not continue to expand. Instead, it shrank infinitely, and its color became darker and darker. In the end, it turned into a crystallized state. However, this crystallized blood cocoon was not solid, but was slowly wriggling as if it was alive. The strange crystallized blood cocoon seemed to be giving birth to a peerless beast, causing Zhuo Mingyue's heart to tighten and her delicate hands to clench.
Suddenly, the blood cocoon split in the middle, revealing the naked body of Chen Qingyun, or perhaps it should be called the blood phoenix. At this moment, Liu Qingyun's appearance had changed greatly. His originally masculine and handsome cheeks were now filled with a feminine charm, showing a different kind of enchanting charm. He was even more handsome than Jian Zhan. If one did not pay attention to gender, he would be comparable to Zhuo Mingyue. His height had also increased by a lot. Originally, Chen Qingyun was only 1.75m tall, but now he was more than 2m. His firm muscles and white skin made him look like a peerless work of art. Zhuo Mingyue was previously nervous about the blood cocoon, but now she was angry about the blood phoenix's enchanting charm. She had actually undergone plastic surgery to become like this, neither male nor female, causing Zhuo Mingyue's veins to bulge.
