The Science Fiction World of Xueba

It was already evening when the zombies besieged the city.

By the time Pang Xuelin and the others rushed out of the swarm of zombies in Irwin Town and arrived at the gas station, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

The gas station was dark and there was no light.

Fortunately, the night did not cause any trouble to Alice or Pang Xuelin. Pang Xuelin could clearly see several black figures wandering in the gas station.

"Xiao Dongbei, you stay in the car first, Alice and I go to clean up the zombies first."

Pang Xuelin took the pistol and got out of the car with Alice.

The two moved swiftly and quietly entered the gas station.

Soon, gunshots rang out, and the zombies in the gas station were swept away by Pang Xuelin and Alice.

Some of the zombies looked familiar, and they were the black bosses and his subordinates who were in charge of guarding the gas station that Pang Xuelin had seen two days ago.

Later, Pang Xuelin found the location of the generator in the gas station, and after a while, the entire gas station was brightly lit.

After throwing the dead zombies out of the gas station, Pang Xuelin and the others began to count the rooms in the gas station.

Needless to say, there is no need to say anything about fuel. The gasoline and diesel reserves in this gas station exceed 5,000 gallons.

In addition, a lot of food, as well as various weapons and ammunition are stored in the gas station.

What surprised Pang Xuelin the most was that there was an underground motorized well at the gas station, where he could directly fetch water for bathing and car washing.

For the next two days, the three stayed in the gas station to rest. During the day, Pang Xuelin and Alice went out to clean up the zombies near the gas station again.

Pang Xuelin even took some time to go back to Erwin Town to take a look.

The entire town of Erwin has been completely occupied by zombies, and there are no living people in it.

On the third night of resting at the gas station, Pang Xuelin and Alice finished the dinner made by Xiaobei and said, "Xiaodongbei, Alice, we have almost finished our stay here, and it's time to go."

"Brother Pang, are you going to the base you mentioned?"

Xiaobei asked curiously, Pang Xuelin nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, we are going to the Kempten base in Utah."

Alice on the side just ate quietly without making a sound.

Pang Xuelin has learned about Alice's temper in the past few days. Since she doesn't speak, it means she acquiesces.

Early the next morning, the three of them loaded the supplies needed for the long journey into the car.

Before departure, Xiaodongbei washed the already clean Ford F550 with tap water again.

Subsequently, Pang Xuelin started the car and went to Kempten according to the previously planned route.

Although Pang Xuelin has been wandering outside during this time, he has been in touch with Jill and Claire through the satellite phone.

Therefore, Pang Xuelin has always been aware of the construction progress of Kempten Town.

At present, Kempten Town has gathered more than 9,000 people, including more than 2,000 people with military background, and more than 1,000 professional and technical personnel, including scientists, engineers, doctors, etc.

Most of the rest are the family members of these people, and a small part are the refugees gathered by Claire and Jill.

The Umbrella Company also complied with the previous agreement and gave strong support to the Kempten base.

Not only did they provide the Kempten base with a large amount of food, oil, weapons and equipment, as well as various building materials.

It even provided various instruments and equipment to restart the underground laboratory of the Kempten base.

Pang Xuelin's behavior of the umbrella company,

Not surprisingly.

In the two months since he entered the world of biohazard, he has truly realized how unnatural the gene optimizer that the system rewards him is.

With the research level of Umbrella Corporation in the field of life sciences, it is inevitable that they will be able to detect the abnormality of their genes.

Therefore, it is impossible for Spencer to turn against him when he actively cooperates.

Even Pang Xuelin himself had the idea of ​​wanting to study that gene optimizer.

After all, this kind of super medicine that has not observed any side effects for the time being, but can improve all aspects of the body is really amazing.

...

Colorado and Utah are adjacent, and the straight-line distance from Irwin to Kempten is only five or six hundred kilometers.

If you change to the old days, you can get there in half a day if you walk on the highway.

But it is almost impossible now, not to mention the wandering zombies, the abandoned vehicles on the highway alone are enough to give Pang Xuelin and the others a headache.

Therefore, Pang Xuelin had to detour from time to time, and sometimes simply drove through the wilderness.

Fortunately, the off-road performance of the Ford F550 was quite good, and Pang Xuelin carried a relatively complete range of accessories. Therefore, three days later, Pang Xuelin and the others finally saw the Kempten base located in the plain below the Vasach and Uyingta ridges.

Compared to the town of Irwin, the Kempten base was heavily guarded. Pang Xuelin and the others were stopped by a group of heavily armed soldiers five kilometers away from the base.

Fortunately, soon after receiving the news, Claire and Jill ran out to greet them.

The moment she saw Pang Xuelin, Jill couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Professor Pang, how did you become like this?"

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "What have I become? Compared with before, has it changed a lot?"

Jill looked weird, shook his head and said, "No, not much has changed."

When she met Pang Xuelin for the first time, although Pang Xuelin was powerful in combat, he was gentle and scholarly in temperament.

Today's Pang Xuelin feels more like an image of a tough guy.

Pang Xuelin smiled, and did not continue to entangle this topic too much, and said: "Claire, Jill, let me introduce you, this is Alice, and this is Fan Zhiyuan, both of whom I met on the road."

"Hi there."

Jill's eyes swept over Alice, and with a warrior's intuition, she felt that this woman was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Then, everyone introduced themselves one after another.

Alice's self-introduction was very short, just said her name

On the other hand, Xiao Dongbei stumbled and talked for a long time.

After the group greeted each other, they boarded the car and headed to the Kempten base.

Xiaodongbei looked at Pang Xuelin with a strange gaze.

He thought that Pang Xuelin was just acquainted with someone from the Kempten base, but he did not expect that this huge base actually belonged to Pang Xuelin himself.

Also, what does it mean for Clare and the others to call Pang Xuelin Professor Pang?

Could it be that the elder brother I recognize is a certain academic leader in the industry?

Pang Xuelin didn't care about Xiao Dongbei's gaze. He was observing the scene in the Kempten base along the way.

The Kempten base covers an area of ​​more than two square kilometers.

The defensive wall around the base is still under construction, but fortunately there are few people around the base. There are not many human settlements within a radius of fifty kilometers.

After the outbreak of the T virus, most of the people in the town of Kempten near the base moved to the base.

In addition, it is located near the Rocky Mountains, and the terrain is complex, so it is difficult for zombie groups to migrate here on a large scale. Therefore, there is no need to worry about safety at the Kempten base in a short time.

The reason why the defensive wall was built was more for future consideration.

After entering the base, Pang Xuelin found that the road surface in the base was basically hardened, and various underground pipelines had also been laid.

At present, most people still live in that kind of simple prefabricated houses. If they want to really change to a new house, they must wait for the construction of the defensive city wall to release the labor force to build a new home.

Of course, in the very center of the base, there is a Kempten manor.

There are more than 30 rooms in the manor. At present, this villa is mainly arranged for those top scholars and their families to live in.

Even Claire Gil and the others live in that kind of simple prefabricated house.

Originally, Claire planned to arrange Pang Xuelin and Alice to live in the villa, but Pang Xuelin declined.

Pang Xuelin and the others found a vacant prefab house near where Jill and Claire lived.

Wait till everything settles down. Pang Xuelin asked Jill and Claire to call a meeting of the management in the current base. Let's get to know each other officially.

The Kempten base is mainly divided into three major systems, namely the civil administration system, the military system and the scientific research system.

The civil affairs system is mainly responsible for various construction activities in the base as well as land reclamation and sowing.

Because of the support of the umbrella company, all living materials at the Kempten base are shipped from outside. Therefore, there is no economic activity in the base for the time being, and everyone eats from the big pot.

Of course, except for children under the age of fourteen and elderly people over the age of eighty, everyone else must participate in the old director.

The military system is responsible for the security of the entire base.

At present, the total number of base guards exceeds 2,000, equipped with helicopters, drones, tanks, armored vehicles, rocket launchers, mortars, and various rifles, machine guns and other weapons.

According to Clare, when the T virus broke out, they robbed a US military arsenal, and with the help of the umbrella company, they shipped most of the munitions inside.

In order to ensure that the entire base is not threatened by zombies, Jill and Claire, in addition to deploying various guard posts within 20 kilometers around the base, will also send out drones every day to conduct round-the-clock surveillance of nearby areas.

Once a group of zombies broke into the radius of 30 kilometers of the base, they would send troops to clean up the group of zombies.

As long as they don't encounter zombies such as creepers, ordinary zombies don't pose much threat to the army at all.

After getting a general understanding of the base as a whole, Pang Xuelin, led by Jill and Claire, entered the underground laboratory through the internal elevator in the basement of the manor.

Compared with the hive laboratory where Pang Xuelin stayed before and the underground laboratory in Irwin, the underground laboratory at the Kempten base is much smaller.

Maybe that's why Umbrella later put it in storage.

At present, the chief scientist of the laboratory is mainly led by the former deputy director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Nobel laureate Professor Spruce.

Although Pang Xuelin doesn't know much about academic research in the field of life sciences, he has heard of the name of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, also known as Cold Spring Laboratory, is a non-profit private scientific research and education center located in Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island, New York, USA.

In the field of life sciences, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is known as the holy land of life sciences in the world and the "cradle of molecular biology", and is one of the most influential research institutions in the world.

The founder of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is James Dewey Watson, who is one of the discoverers of the double helix structure of DNA. "Advocates and implementers.

In the real world, James Watson was later deprived of various honorary titles by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory because of his frequent remarks on racial IQ differences, and the two were considered a complete break.

After Pang Xuelin entered the laboratory, he soon met Spruce, who had been waiting for a long time, and several scholars who were well-known in the life science field.

Spruce is not tall, looks a little thin, is in his fifties, has gray hair and wears a pair of glasses.

"Professor Pang, hello, I'm Spruce, thank you very much for accepting me."

Seeing Pang Xuelin, Spruce first stepped forward to shake Pang Xuelin's hand and say hello.

Two months ago, Pang Xuelin sent Jill to contact some bigwigs in the life sciences.

Most people dismissed Jill's warning, and only Spruce contacted Jill immediately when he realized that something was wrong.

Then he and his family were lucky enough to be taken to the Kempten base.

In the past two months, the T virus has spread and developed around the world. Spruce has been grateful for the original decision countless times.

Pang Xuelin shook hands with Spruce, smiled and said, "It should."

Then, Spruce turned sideways slightly, pointed at a man in his forties standing beside him, and introduced: "Professor Pang, this is Professor Berkeley from Hopkins University. Professor Berkeley is a Virologists, currently in our laboratory, the research on T virus is mainly led by Professor Berkeley."

"Professor Berkeley, hello."

Pang Xuelin shook hands with Professor Berkeley again.

"Professor Pang, hello."

Berkeley also seemed to be taciturn. After nodding to Pang Xuelin, he stopped talking.

Next, under the introduction of Spruce, Pang Xuelin met several other bigwigs.

Professor George Robert, a molecular biologist from Stanford University, and Professor Huang Yu, a geneticist from the University of Pennsylvania.

It is worth mentioning that Huang Yu is also Chinese, and he is the second fellow Pang Xuelin has met in this world.

Next, under the leadership of Spruce, Berkeley and others, Pang Xuelin visited this underground laboratory.

The underground laboratory has five floors in total, placed in an inverted cone shape. The area of ​​the first floor is the largest, reaching 800 square meters, the second floor is 700 square meters, and the third floor is 600 square meters. Almost every floor, the area is almost reduced One hundred square meters, the last floor is only 300 square meters.
