Moreover, at that time, they hadn’t discovered the attribute of internal impurity. They thought that by using inhibitors to slow down the activity of the zombie virus, although it wasn’t possible to eliminate the virus, as long as it never became active, they could avoid the danger of turning into zombies.
Then they discovered through testing that inhibitors could not only be used on infected individuals but were also extremely beneficial to ability users.
When an ability user merged with too many crystal cores and accumulated too much internal impurity, they too risked turning into zombies. The inhibitor could suppress this risk as well.
Theoretically, even a person whose internal impurity was at 90% could avoid turning into a zombie forever as long as they continuously used inhibitors!
Of course, that was just in theory. In reality, there were too many uncontrollable factors, and it would be very dangerous to actually have such a person.
Therefore, they still advised that survivor bases better not accept people with level 5 impurities.
In fact, Wang Tao had thought of using the inhibitor for ability users the first time he saw it. But it was because he knew about the impurities within a crystal core and then combined that with the characteristics of the inhibitor that he came up with the idea.
They had only recently discovered internal impurities and then accidentally found that inhibitors and internal impurities were well suited for each other…
But no matter what, the effect of the inhibitor had already been officially established. From now on, it would be an indispensable item for survivors.
As for who this “they” referred to, the end of the letter also introduced them—
Wang Tao had originally thought this was something researched by a military base, that the scientists might have been protected by the military base, but that wasn’t actually the case.
This “they” referred to a power known as the “Hope Research Institute.”
This was an organization established by the government, its core personnel being technicians and scientists who had survived after the apocalypse struck.
Products like inhibitors, detectors, and synthetic devices were all researched and developed by them.
The headquarters of the research institute was in Capital City, and they welcomed capable individuals to go to Capital City to meet with them. Their ultimate goal was to develop a potion to eliminate the zombie virus and rid the world of zombies.
Although Wang Tao thought this possibility was very slim, he wouldn’t mock them. After all, in a sense, they were humanity’s hope—at least they were the hope for Qian Country.
Wang Tao was very curious about the research institute, but it was too far away from him. If he remembered correctly, it was 1,500 kilometers from Huangfeng City to Capital City! Such a long distance was practically a death wish to attempt…
However, Wang Tao was very curious about how they managed to send their message out. Could it be through super-powerful radio waves? Or some other kind of black technology?
If Wang Tao had such a means, he would definitely want to find out what was going on with the military base.
“Besides these, does the airdrop say anything about the situation at the military base?”
Wang Tao asked.
“No.”
Xiang Hongbin and Wei Zhenguo both shook their heads.
They were also eager to know the current state of the military base, but unfortunately, there was no news about it in these airdrops.
Wang Tao was somewhat puzzled.
During the first airdrop, the military base’s people left a letter for the survivors. But there were no letters in the second and this third airdrop, all of them were done in a strict business-like manner…
He found it impossible to inquire about the actual state of the military base.
Could it be that the military base didn’t want any survivors to come?
That should not be the case, right?
After all, the more people, the greater the strength. There wouldn’t be a base that despised having too many survivors…
Wang Tao was very perplexed, but since they were far from the military base, they had no way to check. Although a radio frequency for contact had been provided in the previous airdrop, with such a distance, the radios they had on hand definitely wouldn’t be able to reach…
Wei Zhenguo distributed the inhibitor to everyone.
Now that they knew the inhibitor was also useful for ability users, they had to stock up more, because they might need to use it continuously from now on…
The next day, early morning.
Wang Tao met Han Rui outside the complex building.
Having been weak the whole day yesterday, Wang Tao hadn’t gone out. Today, with his weakness passed, he was ready to go out and increase his HP.
His HP was at 4,900, just 100 short of 5,000. If he didn’t make up that 100 HP today, he probably wouldn’t sleep well tonight.
Han Rui also rested for a day yesterday. She is now Wang Tao’s exclusive teammate; if Wang Tao goes out, she goes out, if Wang Tao doesn’t, she stays home and rests.
This was of course voluntary, as it was very safe to be with Wang Tao.
“Have you recovered from your weakness?”
Han Rui asked with concern.
“Yes, let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Wang Tao drove the SUV, taking Han Rui towards the hospital.
The hospital was abundant with zombies, so there was no worry about not being able to find elite zombies. If they wandered around other places and ended up wasting a whole day without even finding three elite zombies, that would be frustrating.
By noon, the two arrived near the hospital.
“Well, we really haven’t bumped into a single elite zombie!”
They hadn’t encountered a single elite zombie the whole way there. Just as Wang Tao had thought, the harder you need something, the harder it seemed to obtain it.
However, seeing the hospital swarming with zombies, Wang Tao knew that reaching the 100 HP mark today wouldn’t be a problem.
But the elite zombies were all wandering inside the hospital and not coming out through the main entrance. This left Han Rui somewhat helpless, as they couldn’t lure the zombies over that way..
