Chapter 240 The Troublemaker Fu Qinghai

After paying a huge price in casualties, the zombies finally retreated, and the few remaining zombies shrank back between the boards of the city ruins.

The Leman Rust tank stopped at the edge of the ruins.

Fu Qinghai believes that the ranking of off-road capabilities should be:

Mechanical feet > tracks > wheels.

The Leman Rust tank is just a tracked vehicle, neither a mecha nor a Titan, nor a four-legged vehicle like the Wild Donkey Dune Crawler. There is also a Trojan logistics vehicle hanging behind its butt, so it will not go blindly into the complex and three-dimensional city ruins. If it gets stuck in a collapsed basement or sewer, no one will come to help Fu Qinghai escape.

A cool breeze blew by.

But it can't stir up a grain of sand or a cluster of dust.

Because the dry ground was covered with sticky blood and flesh, the sand and flesh stuck together, leaving a scarlet carpet of corpses behind the tank.

Facing the dim morning light, Fu Qinghai leaned lazily in the driver's seat, took out a Davidoff cigar, put on half of the armor on his arm, and a white light glowed faintly on his palm. The arc pulse cannon lit the cigar. Fu Qinghai held it in his mouth and took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled a cloud of white mist.

The man was smoking in the closed compartment. None of the three women raised any objections. They just waited patiently until he had smoked almost half of his cigarette. Then Chen Xinlu came over and asked,

"What should we do next?"

Fu Qinghai became the backbone of the three people again.

Fu Qinghai put out the half-smoked cigar on the dashboard, carefully put it back into the cigar humidor, and said,

"Open the door, I'll go out and take a look."

Chen Xinlu knew what he meant by "open the door". It didn't mean opening the tank hatch, but opening the door to the dimension.

Outside the Leman Rust tank, a rotating circle of golden-red Mars emerged and expanded, and fully armed Space Marines stepped out and walked towards the ruins of the city.

…

If we only talk about the combat effectiveness of zombies, any BOW picked out from the Resident Evil series is stronger than the zombies in "Army of the Dead" and "I Am Legend", much stronger.

Note, these are not ordinary zombies, they are BOWs.

If we just talk about ordinary zombies, Dark Seekers and Alpha Zombies are still slightly better in comparison.

However, the zombies in these two movies have two major characteristics that many zombies and BOWs in the Resident Evil series do not have - they have high IQs and can reproduce independently.

Throughout the entire Resident Evil series, the biggest headache for virus developers is BOW's intelligence. Most viruses bring powerful power while eroding the host's brain. The ones who can retain their intelligence are all well-known villains, and are extremely rare special cases.

In BOW, the most technologically mature and practical Tyrant series has only been developed to the T-103 model, which is commonly known as the "Leather Tyrant" by players. It has a certain basic intelligence, but it cannot be called smart and clever, and it cannot learn independently by analogy.

The Night Demon in I Am Legend can tame zombie hounds and has an extremely strong learning ability, almost the same as primitive humans, or even smarter. The zombies in Army of the Dead have an organized division of labor, can ride horses and control beasts, can use various homemade weapons, and can make accessories to dress themselves up.

Plus, both have the ability to reproduce autonomously.

"Army of the Dead" clearly shows a female zombie getting pregnant, and there's even a scene where an underdeveloped blue baby is removed from her belly.

The movie "I Am Legend" only shows the zombie leader's inexplicable attachment to a female zombie, but the original novel clearly explains the origin of the words "I Am Legend": the male protagonist keeps hunting and killing night demons, and finally becomes the "legend" who stops the child from crying at night in the mouth of the night demon.

In other words, putting aside the initial setting that both were born from viral infection, these two types of zombies can actually be considered a new species in a strict sense.

This is why the night demon who can speak human language calls himself "new human" instead of "zombie" - they do not consider themselves zombies, but instead believe that reincarnations are the "old humans".

If these two zombies were combined with the powerful and terrifying viruses in the Resident Evil series, and the two biggest shortcomings of the Resident Evil zombies were made up - intelligence and reproduction, what kind of existence would be born, what kind of consequences would it produce, and even whether the perfect humans who started it could control this outcome...

Fu Qinghai didn't know, but his anchored world was not the Resident Evil movie universe anyway.

The virus technology in the Resident Evil series is undoubtedly advanced, and it also comes with some technologies about cloning, fungi and parasites. Fu Qinghai has never underestimated them.

Some people may say: As the most mature BOW, the Tyrant can still be killed by C4 explosives, RPG rockets and 30mm machine guns. The Tyrant is simply garbage.

This argument is ridiculous.

Even if Space Marines do not wear power armor, they will still be killed by C4 explosives, RPG rockets and 30mm machine guns. What allows Space Marines to withstand conventional weapons is not the body transformed by 19 surgeries, but the advanced and powerful power armor.

On the other hand, the Tyrant's size, strength, and agility all surpassed those of a bare-armored Space Marine. Umbrella Corporation used a virus to achieve the effects of at least four of the nineteen transformation surgeries.

When BOW was first developed, it did not involve combat in space environments and alien battlefields. The Space Marines' special skills, survivability and long lifespan may be three points that make them stronger than the Tyrant, but they are not the most critical points.

The biggest problem with BOW is that it has no brains.

The strongest point of Space Marines is their brains.

Just as Fu Qinghai mocked when he defeated Jiang Yixia——

Bloodline is not power.

The brain is the power.

To be honest, Fu Qinghai doesn't even want to compare himself with BOW. It's like comparing humans with elephants in strength, cheetahs in speed, and eagles in flight. Humans are the most intelligent creatures, the top of the food chain. Is it because of their physical fitness? It's their brains. Is there any physical enhancement that is more powerful than superior wisdom? And what physical enhancement can be achieved at the cost of sacrificing the brain?

In fact, looking at the previous games of Resident Evil, most BOWs' combat effectiveness is really not strong, at least when facing modern human weapons, they perform very poorly.

Take the major event "The Destruction of Raccoon City" as an example. Most ordinary people were infected with the virus and died. Only a small number of special forces were killed by BOW. After the crisis, no BOW survived.

The bosses at the end of each level have been eliminated by RPG, railgun and orbital laser. It can be seen that the lethality of the virus comes more from its invisible and formless infectiousness rather than the combat effectiveness of the zombies themselves.

Having a fully enclosed internal circulation power armor is more effective than any powerful weapon.

Are the Chen Xinlu trio weak? The combination of Marvel Mage + DND Mage + Hulk, in a normal reincarnation world, is control + output + meat shield, not weak at all. They are just afraid of the virus carried by zombies, so they are restrained in fighting, not as reckless as Fu Qinghai.

Having said that.

Fu Qinghai felt that he had already formed a feud with the Perfect Human Society. They had kidnapped Ron, he had destroyed their forward base, they tried to strengthen Nurgle's power, and he was on their blacklist... With all these things, it was not a deep hatred, but also a complete hostility.

Although it is none of Fu Qinghai's business what the Resident Evil movie universe will eventually become, based on the basic principle of "I must prevent the enemy from doing what he wants to do", no matter whether the final plan of perfect humans is what Fu Qinghai guessed or not, he decides to destroy the plan of perfect humans.

The Resident Evil movie universe has begun.

The perfect humans don't even know what kind of rat shit has gotten into their pot of soup.

…

Fu Qinghai walked among the rubble of the ruins of the city.

The virus in "Army of the Dead" didn't have its specific origin explained in the film, except that it was hinted to come from Area 51 controlled by the US military and might be related to some kind of alien life. The good thing is that it's not as contagious as the virus in "I Am Legend" and is transmitted through body fluids, so people will only be infected after being bitten by zombies.

Only when I saw it with my own eyes did I realize that it might be a stretch to call the city ruins in front of me a "city". Most of the buildings had been covered in thick sand and dust, and only a small part of them were exposed above the ground, and they were all crooked.

Fu Qinghai stood on top of an overturned, charred subway car, looked around, opened the breathing valve at his mouth and nose, and took a deep breath of the outside air. The air was dry and mixed with a hint of radioactive particles, a familiar smell.

Ruins after a nuclear explosion.

Fu Qinghai could even determine the direction from which the nuclear explosion shock wave came from the traces of radiation on the buildings.

He decided to steal some supplies and look for clues at the same time.

"Crash!"

Fu Qinghai smashed a brick wall with one punch.

"Hoho…Ah!"

The crowded staggering people inside woke up immediately.

"Swish!"

Two knife lights flashed and turned into several pieces of corpse.

Fu Qinghai lowered his head and went into the ruins to begin searching.

Most of the furniture and facilities were covered with a thick layer of dust, and many things could not be identified unless they were taken apart. Relying on his dim vision, Fu Qinghai walked through the corridors and passages, carefully searching for usable items in the building.

The main targets are: unopened food and water, as well as various fuels.

Fu Qinghai wiped the dust off the surface of the appliance and saw the patterns of cherries, pineapples and the number seven inside through the transparent glass screen.

Slot machine?

Fu Qinghai reacted by looking at the joystick next to the machine.

Is this a casino?

The armor plates on Fu Qinghai's shoulders unfolded, extending a searchlight, and the white light swept across the dark hall.

There are large tables, perhaps the place for playing Texas Hold'em or Blackjack. The thick dust cannot cover the shape of the stacked chips. The crooked tables, chairs and benches, and broken and cracked sculptures and portraits make one imagine how magnificent this place once was and how prosperous and bustling it once was.

There is not much material in the casino.

Fu Qinghai was looking for supermarkets, gas stations and department stores. In line with the principle of "a thief takes advantage of a passing goose and a thief does not leave empty-handed", Fu Qinghai finally took away an unopened deck of bridge cards.

As a result, when leaving the casino, I accidentally discovered the sign of an imported liquor supermarket. Looking at the twisted rolling door, the things inside might still be intact.

Fu Qinghai tore open the rolling door with one hand. Amid the teeth-grinding sound of aluminum alloy twisting, the terraced shelves appeared before his eyes. A wall collapsed, crushing most of the wine cabinets and shelves. Only some wine bottles survived.

Fu Qinghai picked up a bottle of wine and brushed away the dust on it. A line of English came into view. Fu Qinghai whispered:

"Sauersberg Stout."

Wow, what a good wine.

I didn't expect to find this level of craft beer in the apocalyptic wasteland. It's not available in the Warhammer 40K universe.

Fu Qinghai continued searching.

"Angelage's deal with the devil, quadruple barreled strong barley beer."

"West Coast Brewing Far Fruit Dust, fruit beer? Has it gone bad?"

Fu Qinghai muttered the names on the labels and gathered all the remaining bottles together. There were nearly a dozen bottles of craft beer of various types and flavors. This casino must be of high quality because the price of these beers was no less than 100 yuan per bottle.

Another row of wine cabinets was filled with high-proof foreign liquors, such as Remy Martin, Hennessy, vodka and Martell, and Fu Qinghai also searched them all.

Fu Qinghai turned on the communication channel, and a burst of noisy static sound came. Fu Qinghai tried to call Tank:

"Chen Xinlu, can you hear me?"

Before leaving, he had taught the three women how to use the car's communication equipment.

"Squeak... I heard it, squeak, Qingshan..."

This is also a communication test, proving that there is a signal within this distance, which is good news.

Fu Qinghai took off his gauntlets, grasped the crystal ball hanging in his waist pocket, and said to Chen Xinlu,

"Use the crystal of true knowledge and prepare to open the door."

"Hiss…"

The dimensional gate rotated and lit up next to Fu Qinghai.

Chen Xinlu poked her head out:

"What did you find?"

Fu Qinghai picked up the wine bottles on the ground and handed them to Chen Xinlu one by one, and put all the intact wine into the tank.

"close the door."

Fu Qinghai ordered.

The dimensional door closed again.

Fu Qinghai started his search journey again.

…

Most of the buildings had collapsed and were buried, and Fu Qinghai could not search the entire ruins by himself. After several searches and finding nothing, Fu Qinghai ran towards the tall building where the zombie leader disappeared.

Before he got close, several Alpha zombies squatted on the windowsill on the second floor, baring their teeth at Fu Qinghai and making threatening and warning roars.

Fu Qinghai didn't care at all and continued walking towards the open door.

"roar--"

Three zombies pounced down one after another, and a dazzling white knife light flashed. The zombies broke into several pieces when they landed, raising a cloud of dust. The blue blood was hissing as it was evaporated by the arc of the fission force field. Fu Qinghai shook off the remaining blood with a flick of his wrist, closed the force field, and put the Blue Blade back into his waist. He was about to walk into the high-rise building when he caught a glimpse of a figure escaping from the other side out of the corner of his eye.

Hmm?

Fu Qinghai suddenly turned from his stillness, changing his lazy and casual attitude just now. He burst out with great speed, kicked off the ground with magnetic shoes, and swung his arms so fast that afterimages appeared. He pedaled left and right among the rugged ruins and soon caught up with the figure.

It is a zombie with obvious female characteristics.

Fleeing in panic.

Fu Qinghai grabbed her shoulders.

"Roar…hiss!"

The Alpha zombie turned around and roared at Fu Qinghai. His face was pale with dark circles, his eyes were blood red, his pupils were small black dots, and his fingers were desperately scratching Fu Qinghai's armor.

Fu Qinghai pinched her neck with one hand and lifted her up in the air to observe her. Fu Qinghai noticed that her lower abdomen was slightly bulging, and he had a vague guess in his mind. He lifted her higher and let the zombie's limbs kick, and the black gauntlet gradually tightened.

"Huff—"

There was a sound of breaking air behind me.

Fu Qinghai threw out a punch without even turning his head.

"Bang!"

A cement slab as big as a round table shattered with a loud noise.

"Roar! Let her go..."

Fu Qinghai slowly turned his head and looked at the person coming behind him.

Can you speak human language?

This is a tall zombie leader, with his head lowered, eyes wide open, a distorted face, bruised body, dirty black curly hair, his strong chest rising and falling slowly, and his blood-red eyes filled with murderous intent.

Many agile Alpha zombies gathered around and gradually surrounded Fu Qinghai.

"You are no match for me."

Fu Qinghai looked around.

"You, are none of them."

"Tell me, where are the nearest city ruins?"

Fu Qinghai tried to get some information from the zombie leader.

However, the zombie leader still said the same thing:

"Let her go, let her go, roar!"

Is this the only sentence you can say?

Fu Qinghai frowned.

Suddenly, he moved.

Fu Qinghai grasped the female zombie's neck with one hand and drew out the power sword from his waist with the other. Many zombies only felt a flash of a figure in front of their eyes. The armored giant was as fast as a whirlwind. When his figure appeared in their eyes again, the Alpha zombie found that his sight was gradually tilting and shifting, and then fell to the ground with a "plop".

With one slash of the sword, Fu Qinghai cut off a row of heads.

However, what was quite surprising was that the eyeballs of those heads that rolled to the ground were still moving left and right, and their mouths were opening and closing, showing their fangs at Fu Qinghai.

The female zombie is still in Fu Qinghai's hand.

Fu Qinghai pointed to the heads on the ground at his feet and said:

"Human, direction, understand?"

"Hey, human, there are humans over there!"

The zombie leader pointed to the northwest and roared.

Fu Qinghai nodded and put the female zombie in her hand down. She stumbled back to the zombie leader and hugged him tightly.

Fu Qinghai turned and walked towards the location of the tank.

Let you two ill-fated lovers live a little longer.

Fu Qinghai thought.

…

Fu Qinghai returned to Leman Rust tank side.

The three women wearing AIM protective suits opened the hatch and walked out. Chen Xinlu asked:

"How's it going, Qingshan, what did you gain?"

Fu Qinghai shook his head, turned on the loudspeaker and said,

"Jiang Yixia, bring that fuel tank over here."

She-Hulk easily lifted the 136L fuel tank and handed it to Fu Qinghai, which was filled with American standard 87 gasoline. Fu Qinghai took the tank, opened the armor plate at the rear of the tank, and poured in tons of gasoline.

There are also reserves of promethium in the Trojan logistics vehicle.

But Fu Qinghai has no intention of adding promethium to the engine.

Because multi-fuel engines can run on anything, but twin-barreled heavy flamethrowers must spray promethium to be powerful, and gasoline will not work, so Fu Qinghai has to save the precious promethium reserves for flamethrower weapons.

Promethium is the general name for refined fossil fuels in the Human Empire. It is not a single substance but a class of substances, and they are all mixtures. After different levels of refining, different grades are produced. The highest level blessed by technical priests is called "Holy Promethium", which is similar to the difference between different grades of gasoline, but the calorific value of promethium is much higher than that of gasoline.

The Fire Lizard Legion's flamethrower weapons are more powerful, perhaps because of their special method of refining promethium. Of course, the high quality of the weapons and equipment per capita of the 18th Legion is also one of the reasons.

After refueling, everyone returned to the carriage.

Fu Qinghai got out of the armor and sat in the driver's seat.

The tank rumbled forward again.

Fu Qinghai observed the road on both sides through the periscope.

He didn't know if the zombie leader was lying or cheating.

But driving on the road he pointed out, underneath the dust covered by the tracks, there was indeed a broken highway.

Where does this lead to?

　Thanks to Dreamer, Listen to the Wind, and Sleep if You Can't Kill for the rewards from three book friends.

　　1. My head hurts from looking up information today. I haven't played biochemistry for many years.

　　2. I have been thinking about a question before: I can cater to some Cloud Hammer and Hammer fans by madly praising Warhammer, saying that the Astartes are the gods who have descended from heaven, immune to all poisons and omnipotent. Some people will definitely like this, and the subscription may also increase. But I know in my heart that the original is not like this at all. I have read so many translations, and I know what the real Warhammer 40K is like. To put it bluntly, SM is the abbreviation of "Star Marines" or "Space Marines". I can't lie against my conscience and convey false information to readers, even if many people like false information.
