More and more fugitives are coming along the road.

In two weeks, more than 200 people have entered the camp under construction and become new team members.

Conversely, more than a hundred people chose to leave.

Most of the people who left behind were women and children, as well as older and weak elderly people. The long journey made them very tired, and the meals and beds made them feel the atmosphere of home, as if they had come back to life from the hell covered with corpses. Although not everyone agreed with the rules set by Su Hao, they did not want to argue for some trivial matters, nor did they want to try a bumpy and displaced life again.

Almost every day, strangers in groups of three or three pass by the road.

Because of hunger and fatigue, they would come to the camp without exception. The questions raised by these people were nothing more than food and safety, as well as understanding of the surrounding situation, consultation on the direction and locations of other cities. Some people also wanted to get weapons or give free help. Some people simply took out bundles of banknotes from their backpacks and bluntly wanted to hire Su Hao and other team members to provide protection along the way.

Everyone has their own way of life, whether in the present or in peace. This is what is called "personality".

The large number of team members has suddenly accelerated the construction speed of the camp. The tall and thick city walls have begun to take shape. The two temporary residential buildings have begun to be excavated, and the cement bases on the underground floor have also been watered. In order to provide enough power, Su Hao added two sets of small-power solar power generation equipment to the camp.

Trucks transporting supplies and materials in the city still travel back and forth every two days. However, the number of vehicles has increased from two to six as the team expanded. Su Hao distributed food fairly to everyone who was willing to join the labor. The rations included candy, wine and cigarettes. These things naturally aroused the envy of outsiders who were unwilling to enter the camp. They gathered outside the camp, unwilling to leave, nor did they want to go in. Every time the supply convoy in the city arrived, they would cause a sensation among these people. They used envy and jealousy.

Jealous, hatred and greedy eyes were staring at the convoy, watching the trucks drive into the camp and unload the cargo containers and leave. As more and more people gathered outside, and there were rivers nearby, a small settlement gradually formed there. It was very dirty and messy. The flow of people frequently, and everyone was often empty today, and the next day they would be filled with other outsiders. Various information was exchanged here, some people thought they should return to the city, some people thought they should join Su Hao's team, and some people were stubborn and thought they should keep going north.

If someone has a dispute.

When someone wanted to sneak into the camp to steal food at night, Su Hao's long-suppressed anger erupted again.

He killed two infiltrators.

The corpse was not buried as usual, but was supported by wooden poles and nailed to a location more than fifty meters away from the camp gate. This bloody and cruel practice shocked all the ulterior motives and attracted dozens of zombies... Howling and screams echoed around the camp for a whole night.

The next morning, when people inside the wall woke up from their sleep, they found that the bustling settlements were empty, leaving only garbage and blood everywhere, as well as several corpses that had been gnawed beyond recognition.

On August 11, Lao Song led the rotation personnel to the camp with the convoy. He told Su Hao very seriously that in a few months, the food supply may be in short supply.

There are more and more members of the team, nearly 300 people.

Su Hao injected everyone with immune agents, and no one knew that this thing was actually the blood in his body. The entire team still followed the rotation of each other in the city and outside the city, and divided it into ten teams, searching for supplies around the city and looking for new sources of food in the wild.

Tao Yuan brought several hand-held tractors from the Municipal Agricultural Info Company. After the ripe crops in the fields around the camp were harvested, the survivors immediately began to plow and planted hundreds of acres of potatoes, as well as a considerable amount of cabbage and radishes.

It will take more than a month for winter wheat to sow. Su Hao reserved a large amount of arable land in advance, and the adjacent river water makes irrigation very convenient. If everything goes well, the winter harvest should be able to last for several months.

Perhaps it was because of the real sense of existence of this team. Many survivors who had just joined were no longer stuck to their labor time. They became more diligent than before. Many people took the initiative to reclaim wasteland near the walls. Although the ridges of the fields were crooked, there was no cultivation technique. In the land where the wheat had just been harvested, green buds gradually emerged. There were pumpkins, beans, and people also went fishing in the river and hunting up the mountains. The strong aroma of broth or fish soup often radiated in the kitchen.

Cao Rui and his twin sisters found a chicken farm in the suburbs. They killed more than 100 zombies gathered there, and they rescued more than 30 remaining hens from the chicken cage. The chicken farm is large in size. Judging from the number of cages, there should be thousands of chickens and birds raised. The extremely hungry zombies are not picky about food, and they will not care whether the meat in their mouths is human or other species. If Cao Rui hadn't shot and smashed the heads of the zombies who were about to tear open the iron cage, they would probably have chewed all the chicken bones and would have left nothing.

These poor hens shivered in the corner of the cage and shivered. They were all taken back to the chicken stockings specially set up in the wild camp. That day, every team member surrounded the chicken stockings and smiled. Survivors looked at them with malicious eyes, fantasizing about delicious foods such as eggs and roasted chickens in their minds.

Liao Qiu found three piglets in the village outside the city. He spent two days building a large enough pig house in the corner of the camp. He declared to everyone that the effectiveness of the "Protection of Minors" will continue to these obese and weak creatures. They must be fed with the best feed and are prohibited from teasing them as pets. Of course, this situation will not last forever. As long as they give birth to enough offspring and grow fat enough, Liao Qiu is actually willing to share with everyone the rib soup, braised pig ears, sautumn liver tips and fried waist flowers.

Daily life is very monotonous and exciting.

In addition to work, everyone must undergo fighting and shooting training on time. Including nine-year-old Yang Lulu, Su Hao requires everyone to use weapons such as sticks to deal with zombies, and shoot the zombie head within a distance of 50 meters.

This requirement is actually not an exaggeration. It only takes ten milligrams of silver bones to become a first-level strengthening person. In other words, just kill five zombies, split their butts with an axe, and restrain strong vomiting and nausea, and you will become stronger.

Su Hao tried to take more silver bones. He found that this was a waste. The body that reached the fifth level of strength did not react further. In desperation, he could only focus on collecting more rotten hormones and silver bones. Thanks to the large increase in manpower, the number of these two things has reached an extremely large level.

Even he himself couldn't explain why he trusted the newly joined team members so much?

..

As soon as the sky was dawn, the construction site inside the camp wall was already busy. The mixer drum kept turning, and the mixed concrete was directly transported by the cement pump to the steel base underground for watering. Two sets of low-temperature cold storages transported from the city yesterday were pulled up by a crane and slowly placed into the uncapped basement. In the distance, the gaps in the tall walls had closed, and people began to install thick all-steel gates. This thing was found in the Chengbei Heavy Industry Machinery Factory. It was said that it was a huge steel plate that was more than 20 meters wide, more than 50 meters high, and had a thickness of 25 cm. Such steel plates were dozens of inches in the machinery factory warehouse. According to survivors, it might have been used as a military channel.

Su Hao walked to the window equipped with steel grids, looked at the gate hanging on the ground chute outside with a crane, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, turned around, and walked to the desk filled with various experimental instruments.

This is the No. 1 residential building. According to Su Hao's requirements, this building is regarded as a special purpose. Especially on this floor, all rooms are renovated according to the use functions of the hospital and laboratory.

There are only Su Hao and Zhou Chen in the spacious laboratory. The latter is lying in front of an electron microscope and observing something. Along the walls on both sides, there are instruments such as constant temperature incubators, protein decomposition instruments, and electronic mixing bases. On the workbench made of cement in the middle, there are dense glass measuring cups, flasks, and test tubes...

All of these things come from major hospitals, chemical raw materials companies, or optical instrument stores in the city.

Su Hao has never been able to explain his unique sense of trust in the new team members - from Chen Kun, who was left by the rescued group of people in the bath center, to Dong Guoping and Chen Erzhu later, to outsiders who joined for food and shelter, he has an indescribable intimacy and gentleness. This feeling does not exist unilaterally, and Su Hao can also perceive the same feeling from the other party. It is like an old friend who has been familiar with for many years, or a relative who has a blood relationship. Even more intimate than this.

This is not normal.

He observed in secret for a long time and finally found that this feeling was not for everyone, but with very special conditions and restrictions.

That is your own blood.

Su Hao once thought it was an illusion. In order to verify this speculation, he consciously injected immune agents to some of the newly joined outsiders. As a result, he found that the mind consciousness treated the difference between the injector and the uninjected person very strongly. The former was very close, while the latter was a normal sense of strangeness.

This body gathers the best human genes in the future. However, Su Hao does not think this is the real reason for the problem. As far as he knows, the master-slave relationship between humans depends largely on the brain. The cellular affinity caused by blood ties accounts for very little, no more than five percent. The situation that happened to him is strange, and there is no similar or similar case in the history of human biological research. However, putting aside Su Hao's time travel in the future world, he can indeed find the only special point.

He had taken prototype potions.

Zhou Chen stared at the microscope, his cheek muscles twitched constantly, and his face was extremely excited. Except for Su Hao, he was the only person in the entire team who was qualified to conduct such research.

"You...you should come and check this out."

Zhou Chen raised his head, his eyes flashed with fear and shock. His forehead was covered with sweat, staring at Su Hao like a ghost. This strange appearance made Su Hao very uncomfortable. He walked over and patted Zhou Chen on the back, who immediately walked away from the table and gave him the electron microscope.

After bent down, leaning down, and looking into the eyepiece, Su Hao felt that his vision was occupied by a dense and swaying cell. It felt like tadpoles crowded in the brink of dry water, thousands. They gathered around, rushing back and forth between each other.

On the slide under the lens was a drop of blood squeezed out from Su Hao's fingertips. Among them, nutrient solution and blood from another outsider without injecting the drug were added.

"The number of red blood cells exceeds 500% of the normal value, or even more. A significantly increased oxygen supply speed can double the effect of body movement and muscle expansion. This should be what you said, strengthening the most significant difference between humans and ordinary people. I have calculated the unit content of white blood cells and other cells, and they all have dramatic increase. But this is not the most critical factor. I think you should have seen... that kind of black particles. I don't know what it is, nor have you seen it."

Zhou Chen stood beside him as a commentator. He felt his scalp numb, and there seemed to be a shocking scene shaking in front of him. Su Hao obviously didn't care about it. His eyes did not leave the camera, but just casually "um" and then immersed in the microscopic world under the camera that was magnified countless times.

Between the dense red blood cells, there were black particles that Zhou Chen had just mentioned. They were huge in size, like a synthetic body accumulated by hundreds of red blood cells. A large number of cells gathered around these giant particles. Whether the red blood cells originated from Su Hao or another person, they would gather near the black particles, which felt very harmonious. Just like a tall giant with strong force, treating the weak people attached to the side friendly and gentle.

"I've tested blood samples for all team members. None of the blood samples have this black pellet except you."

Zhou Chen's slightly trembling voice sounded again, and Su Hao's hand twitched unconsciously.

He raised his head, turned his eyes to Zhou Chen, and asked seriously: "What do you want to say?"

"I...I don't know."

Zhou Chen, who was pale, shook his head. He swallowed his throat hard and said stammeringly: "The existing instruments and data are not enough, so I can't analyze this particle. Judging from the results of blood sample penetration, the relationship between the black particles and other cells is very similar... Bee?"

Su Hao frowned. He didn't quite understand this sentence.

"Yes! Bees!"

Zhou Chen repeated. He looked at Su Hao with a weird expression on his face: "If everything is substituted into the blood under the microscope, we... I mean those who have received injections of immune drugs, including me, like bees. That kind of particle is equivalent to the most important member of a family, and you can think of it as queen bees. This spread and reproduction is asexual. It is like the soul of a cell, building a complex society. As long as you approach, or enter another body, it will have an impact on the new approaching body. They will penetrate each other, and perhaps produce some rare substance to cultivate strange cells. External cells can be easily transformed and affected."

Su Hao's face became more and more serious: "What do you mean is————I can order all the injected subjects?"

"No!"

Zhou Chen flatly rejected: "It's not an order. The bee is just a metaphor, and you are not a real queen. This affinity generated by cells does exist, but it cannot directly affect the brain's judgment on things. We will object to some of the opinions you put forward, but it won't make the situation worse. But if you insist on asking, maybe... maybe... we will really execute the order."

His face became darker and darker: "I never thought that such a thing would happen. It's unscientific. If blood can be injected into it, then the world will not be what it is now. This... is so terrible. I feel that another soul is injected into my body, which is the clone of your will. What a hell! Why did I have no idea of ​​resisting at all? Instead, I think you are the most trustworthy object in this world? Oh... No, I am almost transparent in front of you, and all those who have injected that medicine are the same."

Su Hao slowly closed his eyes.

He finally confirmed that the real reason for this strange change was the prototype potion.

This thing has mysterious and powerful effects, which is enough to change the normal path of human evolution.

Fortunately, it fell into its own hands.

Soul permeation...This name seems to be good and very appropriate.

However, this is not the case.

As Zhou Chen said just now: the mutual fusion in the blood cannot really affect the brain. The so-called "penetration" should mainly act on the genetic level.

How to say it? Just like a baby has an innate dependence and intimacy with the mother, but still has an independent thinking consciousness. Closeness can minimize the rate of betrayal to a certain extent, but this does not mean that the injected person will absolutely blindly follow him.

Su Hao felt like a spider, with the camp as the core, weaving an invisible giant web that is invisible to the naked eye. Every person who has been injected with immune agents is the silk thread on this web. They are becoming more and more dense, and the web is becoming stronger and stronger. As for the scope of the cover, it is far beyond imagination.

He felt a chill on his back and sweating.

"Input a soul, command, control into someone else's body..."

Su Hao shook his head in disbelief, and he heard his voice obviously changed a little.

"No, not the soul."
