Chapter 589 Shrinking the poison circle
The next morning, the sky was dim and bright, and Zhang Tuohai woke up.
He washed his face casually, came to the laboratory first, and took a look at the eggs left by Lilith.
When he came in, a robotic arm was holding a watering can to pour nutrient solution on the eggs.
Zhang Tuohai took a look and saw that the egg was more than twice as big as yesterday. The eggshell was more crystal clear, and it seemed that there was a human-shaped shadow inside.
"How's it going?"
Zhang Tuohai was lying next to the eggshell and couldn't figure out what was happening, so he had to ask Xiao Ai, the classmate who had been taking care of it.
"Yesterday went very smoothly. The nutrients were absorbed very well and there were no problems with development. According to the manual left by Miss Lilith, the reincarnation will be completed in about one or two days."
Classmate Xiao Ai opened the manual and said.
"That's good, that's good." After hearing that the reincarnation could be completed within a day or two, Zhang Tuohai felt a big stone in his heart. Since Lilith was reincarnated, the direction of scientific research has stagnated. He has accumulated various materials.
There are a lot of them, just waiting for Lilith to take charge of the work.
There is also the matter of Aya's hematopoietic stem cell transplantation work. Although there is a medical cabin available, it is better to have Lilith watching over it to take precautions.
After looking at the crystal clear eggs for a while, Zhang Tuohai returned to the command chair.
He had just sat down when he suddenly heard a violent explosion in the distance.
Then a cloud of brown smoke rose straight into the sky.
The detector in the car buzzed, which meant that the toxin concentration outside was soaring.
Zhang Tuohai immediately turned on the three-proof system and turned on the in-car purification device.
Just at this moment, a line of game prompts popped up.
[Congratulations to all the players for successfully surviving to the fourth day. Due to aging insurance measures, a large number of chemical plants in the west exploded. The leaked toxic gas merged with the Alpha virus and evolved into Lambda virus, which merged with the Epsilon virus and evolved into Sigma.
Viruses. Please click to view detailed information for specific virus conditions. If you do not want to be infected with the above two viruses or die from poisonous gas leaks, please stay away from the western region.]
Zhang Tuohai opened the Sigma virus and checked its characteristics.
[Sigma virus: Based on a mutated version of the Ipsilon virus, it is extremely contagious and has the characteristics of airborne, waterborne, bird-borne, insect-borne, etc. It has increased resistance to drugs and requires three times the amount of specific drugs.
Treatment effect. After infection, symptoms such as high fever, difficulty breathing, and diarrhea will occur. The probability of death is 65%, and the probability of mutation will be 75%. If the person is infected with the Alpha virus or a derivative virus before being infected with the Sigma virus, the fatality rate will increase by 20%.
The mutation rate increases by 20%. If special medicine cannot be used to cure it in time, the probability of this mutation will continue to increase until 100%.]
In addition to being highly transmissible, it also has drug resistance, requiring three times the dose of specific drugs to have the original therapeutic effect. The mutation rate and death rate have also increased significantly, and the virus has been strengthened at a speed visible to the naked eye.<

"Is this shrinking again?"
Looking at the game prompt that popped up, Zhang Tuohai knew what to say.
Except for the first day, something goes wrong every day.
First there was a problem in the southeast, then in the north, and now in the west. Will something happen in the northwest tomorrow?
Zhang Tuohai suspected that the game system would eventually trap him and the remaining players in a small area and eventually complete the finals.
"No, I have to find a way to get out of this circle."
Zhang Tuohai looked at the map. Now, there are large areas of high-concentration virus in the southeast, north, and west. These areas retain a large number of high-concentration viruses, forming dead zones. Anyone who wants to forcefully pass through can't.
What will happen?
At this time, on the electronic map, only a gap remains in the northwest.
"Perhaps we can escape from the virus siege network from here."
Zhang Tuohai stared at the passage on the electronic map, his eyes flashing.
"Classmate Xiao Ai, set off immediately and walk northwest. I hope we can escape before the virus closes the circle."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Understood!"
Upon hearing this, classmate Xiao Ai immediately accelerated towards the northwest.
The car was driving rapidly northwest. Suddenly, Zhang Tuohai saw bursts of smoke and dust flying up from both sides of the road, rushing in the direction where he was.
"What's going on?"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Tuohai quickly threw the hand-thrown drone out and went to check it out.
In fact, it would be more convenient and faster to send a Global Hawk to check.
However, at this time, the Global Hawk was helping Zhang Tuohai explore the path ahead, and Zhang Tuohai did not dare to turn it back easily, so he could only use a hand-thrown drone to check the situation.
In order to be on guard, Zhang Tuohai turned on the electronic warfare system, launched detection and monitoring of all channels, and turned on the radar to start scanning the surrounding area. If someone approached his detection boundary, he would definitely detect it.<
/p>
More than half an hour later, the hand-thrown drone carried the message back.
The billowing smoke was indeed caused by the motorcade.
However, the direction those convoys were heading was not Zhang Tuohai, but the northwest corridor that had not been blocked by the virus.
It seems that these players are also heading towards that corridor, but they just don’t know what their purpose is.
Are you planning to jump out of the poisonous circle through the corridor, or are you guessing that Zhang Tuohai may go there and prepare to wait and see in the virus corridor?
Or maybe both.
Zhang Tuohai did not dare to be careless and activated all precautions to prevent unexpected situations from happening.
At this time, Zhao Wanwan and Cang Xiaokong also sent private messages to Zhang Tuohai.
The content of the private message is very simple, telling Zhang Tuohai that his team is going to the virus channel in the northwest, and plans to wait there after passing through, waiting for Zhang Tuohai to fall into the trap.
He also revealed several assembly coordinates to Zhang Tuohai.
"I didn't expect that I really guessed it right."
Looking at the billowing smoke and dust on both sides, and then looking at the image of the Global Hawk that had just returned, Zhang Tuohai slowly reduced the speed of the car and at the same time wrote a reply to the two of them.
"Look for an opportunity to break away from the convoy. Even if it doesn't work, you should find an opportunity to fall to the back of the convoy, or other convenient position to escape. Don't rush to the front stupidly, you will die easily."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Boss, have you set an ambush in front?" Cang Xiaokong asked in surprise.
She remembered that Zhang Tuohai's coordinates had just been broadcast an hour ago. They were far behind them, and it was impossible to overtake them in one fell swoop.
"Haha, you will know after a while. Remember, you must lean back and don't move too far forward."
Zhang Tuohai said with a smile.
"Why did the boss learn to be a riddler?" Cang Xiaokong looked at the reply angrily, and at the same time said through the team channel, "I'll go ahead and investigate the situation."
"Have a nice trip," the teammates said happily.
Cang Xiaokong accelerated and disappeared into the smoke.
She did not continue to investigate forward, but instead made a large circle and went around to the back of the team.
Chapter completed!
