With the force support provided by Chen Mo, Jill's will was successfully carried out.
Although some survivors are still extremely dissatisfied with this, and many are opposed to leaving the protection of the wall, most people are still rational.
They know that food is limited, and if they don't cultivate wasteland and plant crops, everyone will starve to death.
Similarly, they also know that the protection of walls alone cannot make everyone's lives safe. Strongholds and watchtowers are the guarantees that make everyone's lives safer.
So when faced with Gill's instructions to arrange for people to build strongholds and watchtowers, and to reclaim wasteland, most people chose to obey.
Farmers with reclamation experience stepped forward and took the initiative to provide technical guidance; construction workers provided experience in construction; and hunters who had some experience in hunting and traps offered to set up traps around them...
In short, after knowing that this camp would be the place where they would live in the future, most of them contributed their abilities in the hope of making the camp better.
There were even ancient war enthusiasts who proposed to build the camp walls into bastions for better defense, and also provided a plan to build an entire city defense system.
This entire city defense system immediately attracted the attention of the Dragon Emperor. As a qualified general, the Dragon Emperor quickly realized the value of this entire city defense system and immediately suggested to Chen Mo to build such a city defense system.
But Chen Mo didn't seem very enthusiastic about this. He just asked the Dragon Emperor to discuss the matter with Ada Wang, while he plunged into the laboratory.
Although the conditions in the camp were rudimentary, Chen Mo built himself a spell laboratory that met the standards and began to study zombies.
Chen Mo was still worried about the zombie vomiting chrysanthemums he saw, and planned to find out how it appeared.
If the T virus mutates, then figure out how it mutates; if it is caused by other reasons, then find out the cause.
Because it was research on the T-Virus, in order to avoid causing panic among the people in the camp and to prevent the virus from spreading, Chen Mo built the laboratory underground in the administrative center, arranged strict defensive measures, and sealed it with magic.
The entire laboratory is designed to eliminate the possibility of virus leakage.
Although the conditions inside the laboratory are simple, the various instruments and equipment are either high-end products obtained from the umbrella base or magic instruments built by Chen Mo himself. It can be said that there is no comparable experiment in the world in this area.
room.
At this moment, in this laboratory, two zombies were lying on the originally clean and tidy operating table.
They are still alive, but their chests have all been cut open, and their sternums have been pulled to both sides, exposing the internal organs and organs inside the chests.
At this time, Chen Mo was holding a notebook with a serious face, describing the details of the chest cavities of the two zombies, and carefully comparing the differences between the two.
The two zombies were the zombies that Chen Mo had caught before. One of them was a normal, non-mutated zombie, while the other was a mutated zombie that could spit out chrysanthemums.
In the chest cavity of a normal zombie, although the organs are not in very good condition, the lungs and heart feel rotten and deteriorated, and the blood in the blood vessels has become black and smelly, there is no doubt that these are normal human organs.
, and they are still working normally.
Although these organs looked like they were rotten and deteriorated, after many tests, Chen Mo could confirm that they were only infected by the T-virus and had not mutated.
This is the same as the zombies and T-virus he saw when he first traveled to this world. It can be said that this part of the T-virus has been stable over the years and has not mutated.
But the other zombie on the side was a bit outrageous.
Just like the mutated zombies Chen Mo had seen before, its chest had been highly mutated, and its heart and lungs had completely shrunk and degenerated, as if these two organs had been eliminated in the process of biological evolution and turned into something similar to the cecum.
The same existence.
The space vacated after the lungs and heart shrank and degenerated was filled with an extremely complex set of mouthparts.
This set of mouthparts seems to be completely incompatible with the zombie itself, because Chen Mo's inspection found that the mouthparts themselves have the functions of breathing and blood supply, and they look like a mass of parasites that are constantly sucking nutrients from the body.
meet their own growth needs.
Obviously, this is not caused by the T virus itself.
After all, the purpose of the T-virus is to strengthen the infected person itself, not to turn the infected person into a host and grow something else out of the infected person's body.
Facts also proved Chen Mo's judgment that this mutation has nothing to do with the T-virus itself.
Of course, it's not the Plaka parasite that appears in the game.
What caused this mutation was something that Chen Mo had never seen before. It looked like a virus, but it also looked like a spore, and it was combined with the T-virus.
When it enters the body of a T-virus infected person, it will spread rapidly and begin to mutate in the infected person's chest.
And what is shocking is that it grows extremely fast.
Chen Mo tried to extract this spore from the mutated infected person, and implanted it into a normal zombie, and then...
In just a few hours, the infected person who had been invaded by the spores would spit out huge mouthparts from his mouth.
Chen Mo can be sure that this is definitely not caused by the T virus.
This is more like something produced in response to the T-virus, and caused this mutation in the zombies.
After writing his findings in a notebook, Chen Mo was casting a spell on the opened chest cavity of the mutated zombie. When he was about to dispose of the corpse, the mutated mouthparts seemed to sense the danger, so he quickly sucked the whole zombie in.
After becoming a mummy, it developed rapidly after receiving sufficient nutrition. It was almost visible to the naked eye in front of Chen Mo that it grew into an arthropod that looked like a mixture of scorpion and spider characteristics.
The moment after the monster took shape, it jumped towards Chen Mo, obviously wanting to infect him as a new host.
However, for Chen Mo, this is just a new experimental product delivered to his door.
With just a snap of his fingers, the big bug was imprisoned in the air, placed in a special container, and contained.
After dealing with the bug, Chen Mo looked at the test bench that was a little dirty due to the bug's appearance, so he started a magic instrument on the side, intending to clean the place and disinfect the spores that might be present in the air.
.
Just as Chen Mo started the instrument, almost in an instant, the indicator light on the instrument turned red and a piercing alarm sounded.
