Chapter 78 Central Plains Safety Zone
"Actually, it's okay to go to the Central Plains Security Zone, right, but we have to stay here for a few days. Some research things haven't been processed yet. How many days can you wait?"
Lin Qi sensed something was wrong in the atmosphere, spoke quickly and winked at Bai Su.
"Yes, I am conducting this experiment here. Now it has reached a critical moment and cannot be interrupted. It will take a few more days."
Only then did Bai Su react. Since he couldn't refuse, he could only choose to delay it for a while.
"I will ask my superiors for instructions, please wait a moment."
Captain Vinci nodded. As soldiers, although they could not understand those complicated experiments, they still knew the importance of them.
After going back and asking for instructions again, he jogged back to report.
"Dr. Bai, the rescue team will be on standby during this period to protect your safety. I hope your experiment goes well."
Vince commanded his soldiers to open the retractable door and drive in the two armored vehicles outside, just in front of the modified vehicle.
Lin Qi is self-aware, and for the Central Plains Security Zone to treat him with such caution must be because of Bai Su's special status, which has nothing to do with him.
But being dragged into it, I felt a little unhappy.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully and shouldn't have exposed my identity."
While the soldiers were busy settling in, the three of them discussed in front of the modified vehicle.
Bai Su looked remorseful. She originally wanted to use her status as a scientific researcher to help Lin Qi take responsibility, but she didn't expect that it would attract the attention of the Central Plains Security Zone.
"Don't blame yourself. In fact, I want to thank you. If you didn't say anything, I really don't know how to explain it. After all, the origin of this car is somewhat irregular."
The Federation could easily find out where the armored vehicle was lost nearby. How would they give Lin Qi a chance to explain? It would be very unwise to conflict with the Federation now, and it was still near other people's safety zones.
I was able to leave safely, but what should I do with this cart of supplies and the small group.
Tuantuan looked embarrassed, she really couldn't get a word in.
"Let's do this. You told them that the current experiment requires a lot of genetic crystals, and asked them to help collect some. So much combat power cannot be wasted.
Looking at the soldiers setting up defense lines in the factory area, Lin Qi didn't want to suffer any losses. Don't you pay attention to scientific researchers? Then let you pay attention to them.
"You are still thoughtful!"
Bai Su's eyes lit up and he thought this was a very good idea, so he walked quickly towards Captain Wenxi.
After a brief exchange, Bai Su returned to Lin Qi with a smile on his lips.
"It's done, I asked them to help me hunt down some mutant beasts and help rescue nearby survivors.
In this way, these federal team members are spread out a lot, and it can be easier for them.
The three of them returned to the workshop office, first sorted and packed the decomposed items, and then began to process the soaked fur.
After soaking overnight, the fur of the two second-level mutant beasts has been degreased and just needs to be dried, pressed and cut.
The process of making leather is actually very complicated, but time is tight, so most of the steps can be omitted and it can be used almost as well.
The previous mutated pig skin has completed the final process.
Now laying it out on the workbench, Bai Su disassembled a leather jacket that fit Lin Qi, and drew the shape of each piece on the hide.
Last night, she took advantage of her free time to check out the cutting process of the garment factory and learned almost everything.
Although I have no experience for the first time, I can easily make it by copying the painting.
"This leather is enough to make you a windbreaker, and the rest can be used to make trousers and a jacket."
The defense of the second-level mutated wild boar is very outstanding. The cutting requires a sharp blade that Lin Qi transformed from a metal arrow. The stitching needle is also a small gun that he specially made.
The three of them worked together very quickly. In just one morning, they completed all the processes except for the final dyeing and drying.
At noon, the rescue team that went out to search returned to the factory and brought back more than a dozen survivors, all of whom were placed in the vacant workshops of the factory.
As for the mutated beasts, nothing was found.
Captain Wenxi has already contacted the Central Plains Safety Zone and asked the nearby rescue team to approach the Chengdong Industrial Zone. While clearing potential threats, he also covered Dr. Bai's smooth return to the Central Plains Safety Zone.
"Actually, it's not bad to go to the Central Plains Safe Zone. With the strength of the Federation, even if the Zerg revives next year, it should be able to easily resist it, right?"
The area around the safety zone is a top priority. When the few people came here before, they passed by the bombing zone. It can be said that the soil is so ripe that no life can survive. Coupled with regular inspections, an isolation will definitely be formed. bring.
Based on this isolation zone and slowly radiating outward, the area of the safe zone will become larger and larger, and more and more survivors will be recruited.
"They can indeed withstand it. At least there will be no danger in a short period of time. However, the Capital Safety Zone is the largest safety zone in the Federation. In fact, before the end of the world, the safety zone began to be built. The main research laboratory for intensification experiments. Just within the safe zone of Beijing.”
At that time, large animals from zoos across the country were transported to the capital. After other cities learned the news, they could only capture some stray cats and dogs for experiments, and they lagged far behind.
And the earliest third-order mutant beast was bred in a laboratory in Beijing, and is still trapped in a cage.
"So you want to go to the Beijing Safe Zone?"
After hearing Bai Su's words, Lin Qi finally understood why she insisted on going north. In addition to the disaster of resurgence, she also sought the greatest shelter and opportunity. Of course, there might be some sense of belonging, after all, Bai Su's home is in Beijing.
Lin Qi didn't have too many ideas about where to go. He had three months to improve his strength. When spring came, he would be able to keep up even if the Zerg evolved faster.
"The Beijing Safe Zone is the most suitable place for survivors to survive. While the Zerg has not yet revived, there is still a chance to go. If we wait until spring comes, we will be completely trapped here."
But the current situation is a bit special. The Central Plains Safe Zone knows the existence of Bai Su. How could they be willing to let a scientific researcher leave? They will definitely take some measures to let her stay.
"Then have you ever thought that although the strength of the Beijing Safe Zone is strong, it is all controlled by the Safe Zone. I am afraid that most of the mutant beasts nearby have been hunted down, so how could there be any survivors?"
Lin Qi's considerations are completely different from Bai Su's. She always stands from the perspective of the Federation and puts the overall situation first.
But Lin Qi considers himself.
"Once you enter the Beijing Safe Zone, you should understand how difficult it is to obtain genetic crystals. Not only is it difficult to leave the safe zone, but you will also face many restrictions. In the doomsday, the restrictions on human nature are suddenly relaxed, and it is very difficult to restrain them again."
If he goes north all the way to more remote areas, Lin Qi has no objection. After all, he can encounter unexpected mutant beasts along the way, which will make his strength continue to grow.
But if he goes to the Beijing Safe Zone, his freedom is restricted and he becomes a slave and oppressed cattle and horses. It is better to stay in the Central Plains Safe Zone. At least he still has a chance to fight for it.
Bai Su bit her lip and lowered her head unconsciously. Her aura was pitifully weak.
"Don't worry, if the benefits we fight for are not enough, it's not too late for us to find a way to leave."
Lin Qi would never consider going into conflict with the Central Plains Safety Zone for Bai Su. Although he is quite powerful, how can he compete with the power of a safety zone with his own means?
Captain Wenxi outside, although his name sounds a bit ridiculous, his strength should not be underestimated, and he may even have opened the gene lock.
Lin Qi winked at Tuan Tuan, asking her to take the opportunity to persuade her teacher, and he went out and walked outside.
The industrial zone is very close to the Central Plains Safety Zone, only a few dozen kilometers away. According to the strength of the rescue team, they should be able to come to rescue at the beginning of the doomsday, but why has it been delayed until now?
Lin Qi had not considered this aspect before, but now he has an idea.
"Captain Wenxi, thank you for your hard work."
Seeing Captain Wenxi coming out of the workshop where the survivors were placed, Lin Qi took out a cigarette and handed it to him. After Captain Wenxi took it, he patted his shoulder and passed by.
Captain Vinci's face was filled with surprise, and he stared at the cigarette in his hand.
But he seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly chased after him.
"Brother Lin, wait a minute."
When they first met yesterday, both sides were on guard, but now their positions have changed, and there is no need to be fussy.
"What's wrong? You don't have a cigarette?"
Lin Qi took out a lighter and handed it over.
Taking the initiative twice, Vinci almost couldn't keep up with the rhythm, so he had to take the lighter and light the cigarette before he had a chance to speak.
"It's like this, there are more survivors in the factory area, and the meat piled on the ground may attract a lot of mutant beasts and zombies, causing unnecessary trouble. I want to deal with the meat first, but I still need to seek your opinion."
These mutant beasts were hunted by Lin Qi after all, and they belonged to others. Without permission, it was difficult for him to deal with them.
"Do you want to destroy it or take it away?"
Lin Qi just thought about it and understood. Although part of the meat on the mutant sheep has been left, it is an edible mutant creature after all, and most of it can be eaten, and it is very beneficial to the human body.
Although the fur of the first-level mutant creature is not useful to himself, it is a good defensive item for the soldiers of the rescue team.
"These meat and fur are of good value. I can buy them from you on behalf of the safe zone. As for whether to exchange points or supplies, you can choose at will."
Captain Wenxi's style of doing things destined him not to take advantage of others.
"I understand this material, but what about points?"
Lin Qi didn't know most of the news in the safe zone, so he could take the opportunity to learn some from Captain Wenxi.
"The point model is a new system released by the manager. You can use supplies to exchange points, and you can also use points to exchange supplies, so that some people don't accumulate a lot of supplies and waste them for a long time."
In this way, the survivors who enter the city can not only save the space to store supplies, but also avoid the trouble of being spied on by others.
This system is very simple, but very practical.
"What can points be exchanged for?"
Since you want to understand the system of the Central Plains Safety Zone, you must understand it clearly before you can enter with confidence.
"At the beginning, this can only be exchanged for daily necessities, but as it gradually improves, the safety zone will gradually open up other exchange items, such as medicines, gene fluids, guns and ammunition, independent housing areas, and identities, etc."
Captain Vinci's words were very general. After all, even in the apocalypse, guns and ammunition were a means for the top leaders to restrict survivors. How could they easily allow people to exchange them?
However, with Bai Su's relationship, there were no such restrictions on Lin Qi.
"Can the second-level gene fluid be exchanged?"
Lin Qi had only obtained four second-level gene crystals so far, which showed how precious this thing was.
