Volume 3 Chapter 84 The Source of the toxins
The woman holding the skull immediately became honest. She might have dared to try it with others, but with Shao Qing…if she’s looking to die she should still check the time and place.
So she could only watch the snake girl being killed by Xiao Yu. In fact, she didn’t want to face Shao Qing at all. Shao Qing’s strength was too frightening. She was not her opponent at all, but the crucial point was that she was ordered to do it. She had to do it.
As soon as the snake girl died, she knew that she could no longer delay. She directly launched the order to attack. All the zombies and modified mutant animals rushed up.
Some people were frightened, and they were a little frantic when they resisted. After all, these weird-looking creatures only appeared in movies, TV shows or stories.
Even in the end of the world, they have never seen such a weird looking abomination. In addition, listening to the tone, these things seem to be the results of human experiments and human experiments were strictly prohibited after the end of the world.
Not only did Jing Du issue a prohibition on human experimentation, but other bases also strongly prohibit human experimentation.
Therefore, after the end of the world, it is generally impossible to see such things, but they were able to see it this time, and there were a bunch of them. It seemed that there was none that was weak.
“What are you standing there in a daze for?!” Shao Qing flicked a person with a whip. It was not the time for them to be in the mood to be in a daze here. How these survivor bases lasted until today was a miracle.
Is it possible that the boss for the past two years has a problem with their brain?
An idiot boss with a group of fart brained idiots, if the base did not go bankrupt, it is a very miraculous thing!
After Shao Qing shouted, they came back to their senses and took up weapons to resist. Even though the woman holding the skull had a lot of people, their strength was still a bit worse, especially when compared with Shao Qing.
Shao Qing strangled the zombies and transformed beasts with ease. At this moment, a man suddenly fell from the sky. He stood on the back of a big spider and arched his back slightly. He looked like a wolf acc.u.mulating power to pounce.
As soon as he appeared, Shao Qing felt a creepy feeling instantly, as if she was being stared at by some wild beast. A bunch of verdant vines suddenly appeared in front of her, forming a shield. One vine formed a sharp spear. The same spider’s leg stabbed forward and pierced deeply into the vine. Fortunately, the vine shield was thick and solid. The spider’s leg was inserted for only a small amount, and then it was stuck.
Shao Qing looked at the man standing on the spider’s back. His face was blocked by a mask. She couldn’t see his appearance. The only thing she could see was his green eyes. His cat-like pupils were wild and deep with a vicious death aura.
After the man appeared, the woman holding the skull quickly came behind him. Respectful, she dropped her head with fear. The man’s voice was very hoa.r.s.e: “Trash.”
Shao Qing felt this voice was slightly familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had heard this voice before.
Shao Qing could only look carefully. The man’s arms were very long, almost down to his knees. His black nails were also long. She could tell it was dangerous from first sight. Besides that, he didn’t expose much.
Shao Qing couldn’t judge who he was.
The man’s voice was hoa.r.s.e: “As expected of a seventh-rank zombie king, my subordinate is not your opponent. I hope that when we meet next time, you will be stronger than now.”
Seeing him leaving, Shao Qing did not reply and just threw the dagger in her hand. But she only saw a huge spider leap into the air, revealing a pale face below. The eyes on the face suddenly opened, and a light shot out. As soon as the dagger encountered the pale light, it quickly melted.
The man took his men and retreated like a tide.
He really came and went in a hurry. Did he just come to have a look? Shao Qing can almost confirm that this should be the person behind the scenes, at least one of the people behind the scenes.
Because his strength was not weaker than hers, if the other party had other such strong presences, it would be bad news for her.
The brief confrontation between the two made many people pale and breathless. This was only just from their aura. What would happen if these two were to fight?
What the man exposed was even more terrifying. He said that Shao Qing was a seventh-rank zombie king! Seventh rank…The strongest person who has ever appeared among human beings was only at rank six.
When there were only a handful of humans with rank 6 superhuman powers, a rank 7 zombie king had already appeared. That man shouldn’t be a normal person. In fact, he was someone who could compete with Shao Qing. He must be at least rank 7!
Their backs were about to bend under the pressure of a sense of crisis. Some people even couldn’t help thinking whether or not to secretly find a way to kill Shao Qing afterwards.
Seventh-rank zombie king… she might become the first rank nine zombie king in the world. No one knows if Shao Qing had any plans to wipe out all humans, but what if she does?
If she really does something to humans, how many people can compete with her?
I’m afraid there will be none…
Don’t mention the precautions in everyone’s minds. After this group of people stopped them, no one else blocked the way. They successfully reached the source of Yan river and finally understood why the toxins thrown into the water would not dissipate.
At the source of Yan river, there were corpses. They were all very strange-looking corpses. They seemed to be zombies. Their bodies were covered in small and large pustules. When the pustules were broken, black water would flow out.
The corpses were floating in the water at the source. These corpses contain a lot of corpse poison. As long as fresh water appears, they will be quickly contaminated.
Everyone was stunned because there were too many corpses. They were densely packed and they looked extra creepy. There were at least hundreds of floating and sinking corpses.
Shao Qing closed her eyes and let out a long sigh, suppressing the discomfort in her heart: “First salvage a few of them for research.”
Then she used vines to salvage some corpses. Due to being soaked for a long time, the corpses have become pale and bloated, but they can still see that their facial features were frightened.
There were researchers in the entourage. They went forward to carry out a simple examination of the corpses, and they all were stunned. Meng Shen calmly came over and reported: “After inspection, these people should be normal people. Then they were forcibly made into a poisonous corpse and were thrown here after being killed. They aren’t zombies.”
Behind that man, there must be a researcher, or a team of them, conducting live experiments.
Shao Qing said blankly: “In the last days, more than a hundred people disappeared without anyone’s attention, so we can’t know how many people they killed, how many people they captured, or carried out live experiments on.”
Meng Shen couldn’t help but say: “Such a cruel thing, is it really something that humans can do?”
“You look too highly of people too much.” Shao Qing said coldly: “Some people are more terrifying than zombies, okay. Now, the first thing we need to do is to salvage all these corpses and clean up the source. Once the water source is cleaned up, our land will no longer be polluted. For other things, we will have a meeting to discuss when we go back.”
No wonder the group of people did not remove the corpses. There were too many densely packed in here. If they had to move them, they may not have completed the transfer before Shao Qing and the others came.
They simply gave up on hiding the source of the toxin.
There were too many corpses, some of them were even highly decayed. Once they were salvaged, their arms and legs began to fall off. This was not good.
Even if only some limbs and broken arms existed in the river water, they will still act as a pollution source, continuously polluting the river water.
In this case, their meaning to clean up toxins would be lost.
Shao Qing carefully directed people to salvage the corpses, even if they had a lot of manpower, it took almost a whole day to salvage the complete corpses.
The remaining trouble was even greater, because there were still some corpse pieces inside. These pieces were small in size, but contained a lot of toxins. If they can’t be salvaged, Yan river cannot be used in the future for a long time because the river water will still be full of poison.
Shao Qing, Er Dai, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Yu, after a simple cleanup, went directly into the water. The four of them were the least afraid of corpse poison, because they themselves were zombies.
Who has seen zombies afraid of corpse poison?
Xiao Yu was responsible for doing the mental search. Whenever there were pieces of the corpse, the other three people took the fishing net to get out the pieces.
This should be the most strenuous and unrewarding job. It was troublesome and tiring. Unfortunately, except for the four of them, everyone else couldn’t get into the water. Although the bodies have been removed, the toxins contained in Yan river had not decreased but increased.
After all, in the process of salvaging the corpse, a lot of venom flowed out. In a short period of time, the poison was still very serious. Even those with superhuman powers who will not be infected by the corpse poison dared not go into the water and honestly waited on the sh.o.r.e. As long as Shao Qing and the others salvaged the pieces of the corpse, the rest would take the pieces and piece the corpses together.
At the end of the day, they burned everything.
Everyone was in a heavy mood. Watching Shao Qing pick up most of the corpses, even if they burned all the corpses, the toxins could not be completely eliminated for a while.
Especially for the toxins in the soil, that was not that simple to clean up. These have to be done step by step. The most important thing was that those who were still guarding against Shao Qing will discover that soon they may have something to ask of Shao Qing.
