Robert led Zhang Tianyuan and a group of Mutavore into the house, introducing the facilities inside, with the most important being the laboratory in the basement.
"Since I moved here, I've never given up on my research into reversal vaccines. I've used some equipment from the research institute to build a makeshift laboratory here..."
As you descend the long staircase into the basement, the first thing you see is a space enclosed by bulletproof glass, containing an empty bed.
Along the outer wall was a row of laboratory cabinets, filled with mice injected with experimental drugs. When the cloth was lifted and they were exposed to light, they would be stimulated and ram against the glass, exhibiting extremely aggressive behavior.
Robert pressed his finger against the glass, making the mice inside scream and go crazy, before turning around and shrugging. "As you can see, so far, my experiment hasn't been successful."
"I haven't even developed a vaccine yet."
The Mutavore carefully examined each mouse, praising Robert for doing an excellent job.
In such a rudimentary and dangerous environment, no one could guarantee that they could do better than Robert.
On the adjacent wall were many experimental photos of the Darkseekers, some captured during the research institute's time, and a small number captured by Robert himself.
"Let's move the stuff out first." Zhang Tianyuan waved his hand, and everyone began to sort and move all the equipment and laboratory animals to the car outside.
Robert also began packing his things, taking away anything of sentimental value.
By the time the underground laboratory was emptied, it was already seven o'clock.
As night fell, the roars of the Darkseekers echoed through the city.
As Robert walked out with his luggage and Sam, he instinctively felt panicked, even a little suffocated.
This is a biological instinct he has developed over the past year or so.
I fear the dark, and I fear walking in the dark even more.
This is also a common concern for most people in this time and space. Xxs-②
Zhang Tianyuan pointed to an armored vehicle with its door open, gesturing for Robert to get in.
"Don't worry, dealing with Darkseekers is actually quite simple."
The convoy turned on its ultraviolet headlights the moment it started moving, illuminating the surroundings as brightly as day.
Faced with this display of force, the Darkseekers, who had already gathered in the surrounding buildings, could only watch helplessly.
You can't even look at it; it has to follow the light.
The ultraviolet radiation is a lethal dose for them; any part of their body exposed would be scorched.
The Darkseekers could only roar helplessly, as if bidding farewell to the departing convoy.
Robert sat in the car, surrounded by Mutavore, all discussing the Darkseekers outside.
Looking out the car window at the dark buildings, his initial panic was replaced by a deep sense of security. He sighed, "I've never felt so relaxed facing the Darkseekers before..."
An expert standing nearby laughed and said, "This is the power of teamwork and science!"
Comparing his current situation to the terrifying times he used to be so scared that he couldn't sleep until the wee hours of the morning, Robert couldn't help but feel sad.
He glanced at the Mutavore beside him and suddenly pulled out the brochure Zhang Tianyuan had given him from his pocket.
This document contains information about the Mutual Aid Society and also about No. 1 Spacetime. Robert gestured and asked, "You said you came from a parallel universe, how is it there...?"
"Our timeline is normal. If you'd like to learn more, you can take a look at this booklet."
The expert next to him pointed to the booklet in Robert's hand and said:
"We came to your time and space because of the mobilization of the Mutual Aid Society."
The news of the 2012 apocalypse wasn't something every member of the Mutual Aid Society could share; these Mutavore experts were among those whose information was pending.
They were simply following the government's orders to work in No. 2 Spacetime.
Robert pondered for a moment, then slowly turned to the first page of the manual...
Amid Robert's melancholy, the convoy quickly left Manhattan Island in New York, heading to other areas in search of a safe place to camp.
Inside the command vehicle, information about the various branches of Legend World was relayed over.
Tong Wenshi's southward journey has been underway for some time, and they met up with Instructor Yin's team from the Imperial Capital at noon today.
Since most of the Darkseekers in the Imperial Capital have been eliminated, Tong Wenshi and his group will stay there for a while, both to rest and to resupply.
Meanwhile, there are also many satellite control centers in the Imperial Capital, and technical personnel will be stationed there permanently to regain control of the domestic satellite network, so that the various teams of the Mutual Aid Society can use satellite communication.
In addition, as Tong Wenshi traveled south, he would set off large-scale fireworks displays from high-rise buildings in every city he passed through at night, and during the day, he would patrol the entire city by helicopter, dropping fireworks.
In addition, a smoke signal was lit.
With such a large force, they were able to find many survivors around the city each time, and the team grew like a snowball.
These are all people who heard the broadcast and chose to live in the suburbs.
Besides these people, there were many others who brought their own food to the Imperial Capital, and they were all taken in by Instructor Yin.
The Imperial Capital even received messengers from two survivor camps in the desert and the plateau.
Of the 50,000 people who had previously entered various cities across the country to eliminate the Darkseekers, four teams were dispatched to make contact with the two survivor camps.
The number of domestic survivors in the Legend World has now increased to 210,000, which is more optimistic than expected.
But abroad.
Bai Xu led his aerospace team northward and has arrived at the launch site for the rocket to be launched for the space station. There, they found the backup rocket and backup return capsule that were originally prepared for the space station.
The backup rockets are no longer usable.
The backup return capsule might still be usable.
In addition, they also gathered some survivors in the area.
According to these survivors, many people are still hiding in Siberia, in areas where potatoes and corn used to be grown...
As for North America.
The Mutual Aid Society team here arrived a few days earlier than Zhang Tianyuan and his group, and they have now basically all reached their target locations and are in the process of opening the blind boxes.
Previously under martial law, various naval and air bases are now freely accessible. Every time you open a hangar or approach a shipyard, you'll find all sorts of large aircraft carriers and ship mothers sleeping peacefully in front of you.
A mere year or so of neglect had no impact on these equipment other than a little dust and rust.
The generals who used to stay at these bases brought out various training materials and secret documents with their Mutual Aid Society teams.
Apart from the aircraft carriers at the Hawaii base, which have all disappeared, all other aircraft carriers have been found, and experts are studying their specific details.
The soldiers who went with them to learn how to operate the boat didn't stand on ceremony; after cleaning up, they settled into the base.
Security issues are also easily resolved.
All you need to do is illuminate the area around the base with high-powered ultraviolet lights at night, and the Darkseekers will have no way to get to you.
Moreover, the soldiers at the base also have to do daily drills and training.
If it weren't for the different slogans shouted during morning exercises and the different uniforms, the base would be almost identical to the one before...
