Beep, activation complete, binding commander DNA information required!
Please place the binder's finger in this slot!
The robot said, and a small slot opened below.
Zhang Chen reached out and pressed his index finger into the slot.
It felt like his fingertip had been bitten by an insect, a little itchy.
DNA information collected successfully, releasing Cleaners, please wait...
After the robot finished speaking, it retracted the slot.
Then, all the glass jars were injected with a blue agent.
A few minutes later.
Nearly a hundred women, looking almost identical to Xu Ruina, emerged slowly from the glass jars, clad in [Nano-Armor 2.0].
As Zhang Chen looked at these women, a prompt suddenly appeared:
Name: None
Type: Cleaner, possesses 70% of Xu Ruina's genes and 30% of powerful mutated creature genes, fused through genetic technology, possessing extreme obedience.
Strength: Unregistered strength classification
Skills:
[Infected Dominance]: Can control infected individuals through consciousness. Current ability allows control of 5,000 Crawlers, or other infected entities with equivalent energy consumption.
[Pathogen]: Can consume crystal cores to upgrade and modify infected entities. Dominating modified infected entities does not consume energy.
[Phantasmal Form]: Can extract DNA from the blood of other survivors to alter their external appearance.
[Dominion Growth]: Controls survivors killed by zombie hordes. The more mutated creatures are controlled, the greater the individual's strength and the upper limit of controlled infected entities will increase.
Seeing this description, Zhang Chen was truly startled.
These women actually had Xu Ruina's DNA?!
But logically speaking, Xu Ruina should have become a Wailer before the New Era began!
How could these people, from hundreds of millions of zombies, find Xu Ruina and collect her DNA?
The only possibility is that these people, through some means, knew that Xu Ruina had become a conscious Wailer and possessed the ability to control zombies.
Furthermore, the laboratory originally stored the DNA of all experimental personnel, including Xu Ruina, as these individuals themselves were a form of experimental subject, making it convenient to extract samples at any time.
Moreover, these Cleaners seem a bit too powerful!
One Cleaner can control 5,000 Crawlers!
If there were a hundred Cleaners, they could control at least 500,000 Crawlers in a massive horde?!
Such a quantity of zombie horde would likely be unstoppable by any survivor camp!
As for them being able to upgrade later and control even more zombies... that would be even more terrifying!
Nearly a hundred clones of Xu Ruina, let's call them that for now, as the name Cleaner doesn't quite fit these girls, they silently watched Zhang Chen.
Everyone stood in place, motionless.
Everyone, fall in line!
Zhang Chen attempted to issue an order.
If he were to give this order to a hundred ordinary people, even if they were completely obedient, there would be many issues regarding who stood where, whether two people wanted to stand together, requiring adjustments, etc.
In short, the scene would inevitably be chaotic before they could stand in order.
And they might also be confused about how many people per row.
After all, it was a hundred people, each with their own thoughts.
But these clones, they not only seemed to control infected beings through telepathy.
They also seemed to have a telepathic connection among themselves.
Therefore, the process of forming ranks was without any friction, without any mistakes, everything was as if rehearsed countless times.
And it was completed in almost a second.
Everyone took one or two steps precisely towards their nearest position, forming a perfectly neat square formation!
Hiss...
Looking at these clones of Xu Ruina, Zhang Chen suddenly realized a strange issue.
Such powerful weapons had fallen into his hands so easily, it felt like everything had proceeded too simply and smoothly!
He simply swiped his card to enter the building, then encountered the robot, which directly led Zhang Chen to the most core and secret room.
And then a hundred super-soldiers capable of controlling zombie hordes were given to Zhang Chen?
Throughout the entire process, the robot, apart from asking for a password and requiring his work ID to be swiped, did not perform any other identity verification.
Hiss... Hiss...
As Zhang Chen was wondering,
The robot beside him suddenly projected a virtual image of a scientist into the air.
It was an old man with white hair and gold-rimmed glasses.
First, allow me to introduce myself, I am Tang Houde, the chief scientist of the Progressive Faction! wΑp.kanshu伍.net
I believe you must have many questions at this moment, feel free to ask, and I will do my best to answer them!
After speaking, the entire image seemed to freeze, maintaining its speaking posture, standing there motionless.
Holographic projection can also interact with voice?
Zhang Chen asked in surprise.
Indeed, Earth had this AI voice interaction technology before, but it wasn't mature enough, only capable of basic communication.
Of course, you can. Please ask your second question. I must remind you that the current power level is at 17%. If I were you, I would seize the time!
Tang Houde said with a smile.
Why could I obtain the Cleaner army so easily, and throughout the entire process, I didn't feel your security measures were very good!
Zhang Chen asked directly.
I understand your concerns, you must feel that our security level here is possibly lower than that of a street vending machine!
In reality, we designed it this way intentionally. Humanity's common enemy is not the infected, because we have found a way to control them. Our true enemy is those mutated creatures; they are the real nightmare!
Obtaining an entry-level work ID is simple, but acquiring the activation command is not easy! Being able to activate the Cleaners indicates that you have at least met our researchers!
Since our researchers trust you and are willing to share this secret with you, then I am naturally willing to hand over this weapon to you!
Instead of having them consumed during constant cleaning work, it is better to consolidate them and contribute more to humanity!
After all, we are all human. Even the worst person is still a person, and the best insect is still an insect, isn't it?
Do you have any other questions? Current power level is at 12%!
Zhang Chen frowned and said:
If they can make greater contributions to humanity, why aren't you using them, but waiting for others to activate them?
This question was quite pointed, and Zhang Chen was a bit worried if it could be answered.
It's very simple. Our people cannot accept infected beings as our soldiers. They believe doing so is akin to inviting disaster upon ourselves. Some even accuse mad scientists of bringing disaster to the populace, and that such actions would lead to the destruction of humanity's last vestiges of civilization!
The Council passed this proposal with a 90% approval rate, so they were demoted from soldiers to the last line of defense after the city fell, becoming Cleaners!
The few who held the truth created them, but due to the pressure from the ignorant majority, they had to be sealed away...
It's quite tragic, isn't it?
