God-Level Shelter : Start with 1000000 Tons of Supplies

Chapter 43: Chapter 43 The Apocalypse is Really gonna Kill US



The news of the Zombie Mother Nest was no less than a bombshell!

Everyone in the conference room looked unwell.

Ji Yan, however, remained calm, for he knew this was inevitable.

"Don't worry!" Ji Yan reassured, "Although this Zombie Mother Nest is deep underground and we currently lack the strength to destroy it, it also needs time to gestate, so it won't have much impact on us in the short term. Everyone should train as they should, and do what they need to do; life must go on."

"Yes!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this!

Now, Ji Yan was their pillar of stability; if he said it was fine, then it was fine!

"Professor Song!" Ji Yan said, "Please continue your introduction, let everyone hear about your research findings, and see if they can provide more direction and suggestions for our future development plans."

"Alright!" Song Zhiwen nodded and said, "Our monitoring and research on zombies and the environment have been continuous and in-depth, and we have indeed made some discoveries."

"I wonder if everyone has noticed that the zombie virus is transmitted through blood contact. We have found many canines, felines, primates, and avian creatures that have been infected with this virus."

"But you certainly haven't noticed that insects, such as ants and grasshoppers, and aquatic creatures like fish, are actually not easily infected by the zombie virus!"

"Oh?"

Everyone immediately became interested.

Thinking carefully, it seemed to be true.

If one observed carefully, they would find many ants still crawling and foraging on the ground, and they were not infected!

This was simply a blessing in disguise!

If even ants were infected with the zombie virus!

Then humanity's living space would become even narrower.

Perhaps one would get bitten by a zombie ant while sleeping and die!

At the same time, there were still many fish in the nearby Dongjiang River, and despite having eaten many rotten zombie corpses, they miraculously had not been infected with the zombie virus.

"Through a large number of experiments, by continuously feeding various insects and fish zombie flesh and blood, we confirmed our hypothesis!"

"Through bold deductions from our research, it's highly likely that the reproduction of the zombie virus requires an enzyme, and this enzyme is only present in us and mammals, but not in insects and fish."

"Our research institute wants to start from this point, to research whether this enzyme truly exists, and then develop targeted drugs to free humanity from the harm of the zombie virus!"

Song Zhiwen spoke eloquently, explaining his conclusions!

Everyone was quite interested after listening!

Ji Yan shook his head and said, "This research is actually unnecessary. What if the human body has zombie virus antibodies? Most people who die in this apocalypse are directly devoured by zombies; having antibodies or not is irrelevant. Facing zombies head-on is the way to go."

"Moreover, your hypothesis is actually not valid. Insects and fish are temporarily unaffected only because the zombie virus isn't strong enough. What if the virus becomes even stronger in the future? Will they still be unaffected?"

"Uh?"

Song Zhiwen was instantly dumbfounded!

He hadn't expected the conclusion he had painstakingly researched!

To be refuted by Ji Yan.

But thinking carefully, it seemed to be true.

Even if these studies made groundbreaking progress, humanity would still be very dangerous facing overwhelming numbers of zombies, and the difficulties would be just as numerous. It would be simpler and more direct to just shoot and kill the zombies.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ji!" Song Zhiwen said awkwardly, "We were just working in isolation and took too much for granted!"

"No!" Li Tiezhu said with a smile, "Actually, this isn't entirely useless. At least we know that fish are edible now. When resources are truly scarce, encouraging survivors to catch and eat fish can feed many people."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter!

Song Zhiwen waved his hand with a smile and said, "That won't work. According to our monitoring of major water sources, the City's water has already been severely polluted. In the future, with the leaks from unattended nuclear power plants worldwide, countless amounts of seawater and freshwater will be covered by nuclear radiation, and by then, no fish will be edible!"

"Holy crap, no way? Does that mean even drinking water will be a problem in the future?"

"This damned apocalypse, is it even letting people live?"

Everyone complained gloomily.

"That's just how things are!" Ji Yan gestured nonchalantly, "It's good that everyone is clear. Are there any other questions or suggestions now? Let's discuss them!"

"I believe we can share some intelligence with the City's survivors!" Liu Rongsheng, the mercenary deputy division commander, said, "Zombies outside are getting stronger now. If survivors still cling to old ideas and experiences, they are very likely to die during zombie hunts, which is detrimental to humanity's overall strength."

"Indeed! Sharing intelligence to remind everyone is also very necessary!"

"That's right, although others' lives and deaths have nothing to do with us, after our base loses population, we always need to replenish from the outside. The more survivors there are, the better it is for us!"

"I agree with this point. We are all compatriots, and it doesn't matter if irrelevant intelligence is leaked!"

Everyone voiced their agreement one after another!

Ji Yan nodded silently upon hearing this.

This kind of intelligence was not classified, and reminding the outside world would not harm him.

Moreover, the spread of this news would definitely trigger a new wave of panic, which could then stimulate everyone to come and purchase weapons and supplies. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

"Adam, I'll leave this to you!" Ji Yan instructed, "Post the Licker video and our analysis of zombies on the base forum, and update the zombie guide!"

"Understood!"

Adam replied, and various information updates were quickly completed.

Soon, the zombie guide on the base forum was updated.

This change naturally and quickly caught the attention of netizens.

Whether they were residents within the base or survivors barely clinging to life outside, most liked to find solace through the base forum.

This website had long become a daily must-visit place for many.

Once the zombie guide on the homepage was updated, it naturally attracted much attention.

As a result, many people were instantly terrified when they saw it!

"Holy crap, the A1 Shelter's research lab, through long-term monitoring of zombies, found that zombies are constantly getting stronger?"

"Global temperatures rising? Sea levels will rise by 70 meters in the next one or two years? Damn, isn't my hometown, the Magic City, going to be submerged?"

"Damn it, what is this terrifying thing? It's called a Licker?"

"Big trouble, this damned apocalypse is really going to kill us!"

"Is this news real? They're not trying to trick us, are they?"

"Trick your grandpa, there's a video here! Haven't you seen how terrifying the Licker is? Boss Ji Yan's subordinates died by the hundreds, we're in for bad luck!"

Everyone discussed in horror, and the entire Dongjiang City couldn't help but fall into a state of panic!
