Wasteland Hideout: Upgrading from the Sewers

Chapter 328: The Swift Walker Virus Experiment, The Transformation of the Black Shield Police Department

"Hurry, take this batch of lab rats to the Spiritual Creature Laboratory, and the other batch to the Genetic Modification Laboratory. Missionary Miller needs them."

The lab technicians of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association quickly handed over the experimental white mice in their hands.

The Aurora Animal Assistance Association had a specialized area for breeding experimental animals. Here, not only were experimental white mice bred, but also other creatures such as hamsters, rabbits, dogs, pigs, sheep, and more.

These were all indispensable for conducting biological modification experiments.

Especially in the early stages of modification experiments, each type of animal had its unique experimental value.

For observing cardiovascular mutations, pigs and dogs were essential because their cardiovascular systems and digestive tracts were very similar to humans'.

If studying the effects of pharmaceuticals on biological mutation nerves and the brain, then primates were the most suitable.

Although raising and breeding these animals consumed a portion of food supplies, they were an indispensable component of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association. Their value was even higher than that of ordinary thugs.

Fortunately, before the wasteland descended, Jiu Feng had collected a large amount of supplies, so breeding these experimental animals wasn't difficult.

The lab rats were quickly delivered to the Spiritual Creature Laboratory and the Genetic Modification Laboratory.Inside the Spiritual Creature Laboratory.

Five lab rats had already been marked and numbered, then placed into separate observation boxes.

Saint Jiu Feng, wearing protective clothing and a face mask, had an expressionless face.

He picked up the first white mouse, disinfected the injection site, then took a slender needle and accurately pierced through the mouse's fur, inserting it into the abdominal cavity from one side, slowly pushing the pharmaceutical solution from the syringe inside.

Then came his utterly flat, unemotional voice.

"Lab Rat No. 1, abdominal cavity injection of 1ml [Swiftstrider Virus Type I Solution], injection time..." Jiu Feng checked the time.

"15:27..."

Beside him, his assistant began recording the relevant information. As Lab Rat No. 1 was placed back into the observation box, this experimental information was also posted next to the box.

Jiu Feng immediately performed a similar operation on the second lab rat, only this time the solution he injected had been changed to [Swiftstrider Virus Type II Solution].

Before Jiu Feng were a total of five such solutions, all prepared by him through different methods after extracting the mutated virus from the Swiftstrider's body.

The goal was singular: to reactivate the [Swiftstrider Virus] that had entered an inert state.

Jiu Feng achieved his objective; this matter wasn't difficult for him. The reactivated [Swiftstrider Virus] had regained its biological infectivity and aggressiveness.

Jiu Feng's current goal was to experiment on the stability and controllability of these [Swiftstrider Viruses].

After all, Yu Yuan's need for the [Swiftstrider] was simple: he only required the Swiftstrider's high-speed running function to create "nuclear-powered beasts of burden" for electricity generation.

His initial conception of the [Swiftstrider Power Plant] wasn't just talk.

In fact, if it were just for simple electricity generation, there were many methods far more convenient and long-lasting than Swiftstrider power generation, which also required no consumption and were safer.

For example, [Geothermal Power Generation] only required building a [Geothermal Power Plant], which would not only be more efficient but also more stable.

Swiftstrider power generation couldn't compare to it at all.

So why was Yu Yuan so obsessed with [Swiftstrider Power Generation] technology?

The reason was simple: its characteristics of simple operation and extremely low environmental requirements meant it could be quickly set up as an energy core whenever needed.

Since acquiring the [Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization], Yu Yuan clearly understood that Green Forest City was no longer his ultimate goal in the wasteland game.

His gaze had shifted from Green Forest City, even from this world that belonged solely to him, toward other player worlds and other civilization worlds.

If Green Forest City was his main base, then other civilization worlds were the battlefields he would expand into in the future.

What energy supply technology could be more stable than [Swiftstrider Power Generation] technology?

As long as a stable [Swiftstrider Virus] was researched, Yu Yuan could, anytime, anywhere, in any place, any world, quickly build a frontline camp that could stably and continuously provide electrical power.

An enemy one moment could become a "nuclear-powered beast of burden" helping Yu Yuan stably produce electricity the next.

Directly maximizing waste utilization.

Coupled with the [Mechanical Titan Base Unit] vehicle serving as a frontline base vehicle, as long as Yu Yuan was willing, he could establish a frontline fortress in the shortest possible time.

This was the real reason Yu Yuan valued the [Swiftstrider Power Generation] technology and planned to vigorously develop [Swiftstrider Power Plants].

Although Jiu Feng wasn't clear about Yu Yuan's grand vision, he had also seen the unique potential of this [Promiz Virus].

Especially after seeing the several different infected blood samples Yu Yuan sent, his interest in the [Promiz Virus] had reached an unprecedented level.

As the final syringe of virus solution was injected into a white mouse's body.

A glimmer of anticipation finally appeared in Jiu Feng's eyes.

"My darlings, let me see this power you've hidden away!"

Beneath the Black Shield Police Department was the Civil Air Defense Shelter.

It was only after truly gaining control of the Black Shield Police Department that Carmen learned there was such a magnificent structure underneath the police station.

After all, he hadn't joined the Black Shield Police Department early; by the time he did, Hogg had already designated the underground areas as restricted supply zones.

This Civil Air Defense Shelter was built during the initial construction of the Black Shield Police Department to prepare for possible war and turmoil. It was from the same era as the almost-forgotten civil defense shelter level in the sewers.

It had a history of several decades.

But unlike the civil defense shelter level in the sewers, the Civil Air Defense Shelter beneath the Black Shield Police Department had never fallen into disuse. It had even undergone several expansions, transforming into a comprehensive underground defensive fortress.

"Give it your all, persevere, just keep persevering. Everyone gets an extra serving of luncheon meat today," Alpha shouted loudly through a megaphone.

Before him were the thugs and Enforcers of the Black Shield Police Department, all undergoing training.

In these times, whoever possessed supplies and controlled force had the power of speech.

After obtaining the massive supplies from the underground warehouse and receiving the backing of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association, the Black Shield Police Department fell into Carmen's hands.

But taking control was one thing; truly wielding it like an extension of his own arm wasn't so simple. Carmen didn't want anyone slacking off during combat, so he immediately implemented internal adjustments and reforms.

He directly promoted Alpha and Er Xiao to Commanders, responsible for combat and logistics respectively.

The Enforcer squads were also simplified, all reorganized.

The 11 members of the [Jackal] squad, excluding Alpha, Fang, and Doctor, were all promoted to Enforcers. Together with the 5 Enforcers who had previously followed Carmen, they formed 16 new Enforcer squads, all under Alpha's management.

The previous Enforcers and thugs were completely shuffled and reorganized, assigned into these 16 Enforcer squads.

Carmen also announced a new policy.

That was a military merit system, related to future promotions and loot distribution, although the specific details were still being formulated by Carmen.

But one thing was certain: outstanding performers would have the opportunity to receive injections of the Genetic Modification Serum.

The Genetic Modification Serum was no longer a secret since people had seen Hogg possess superhuman strength.

The thought that they too might possess such extraordinary power excited everyone.

Carmen stated he would select 4 new Enforcer squad leaders from the outstanding performers in this training session.

The thugs went completely wild, especially the former ordinary thugs. They understood their chance for a turnaround had arrived, all cheering loudly.

Some were happy, others worried.

The former Enforcers who had been demoted from their positions by Carmen were naturally very unwilling, and some even harbored ill intentions.

But seeing the cheering thugs around them, many of whom were formerly their own subordinates, they instantly understood.

There was no chance.

The double blow of promotion opportunities + Genetic Modification Serum injections directly elevated Carmen's prestige and support to its peak.

When they looked at Carmen again, all that remained was a sigh of "What a masterful move!"

And it was precisely from this day onward that everyone in the Black Shield Police Department began professional military training inside the underground Civil Air Defense Shelter, under Alpha's expert command.

The transformation of Black Shield officially began......
