As early as when he moved into the research institute, Chu Hao set up a total of nine explosion points around the institute in order to prevent similar situations from happening. These explosion points did not explode at the same time, but each explosion point had a dozen small explosion points. Once activated, these small explosion points would explode one after another in the next ten minutes.
At the beginning of the Mutants' hunting, they relied on sight, smell, and hearing to locate their prey. In fact, in the past ten days, Chu Hao had dissected the Mutants' corpses left in the institute. He found that the Mutants' sense of smell and hearing were extremely developed and had evolved. However, the evolution of their eyes was not as strong as expected. For example, they did not have the most effective infrared vision in the dark. Their eyes were not much different from human eyes. Perhaps they were more sensitive than human eyes and had better night vision. However, their vision in the dark was not as good as expected. In very dark environments, these Mutants and humans could not see anything.
It was precisely because of this that Chu Hao had made prior preparations in order to not expose the research institute. After all, in terms of their sense of smell, everyone was very careful when they went in and out. Even if it was a rainy day, they would definitely use disinfectant to remove the smell around them. Once the sun set, everyone would definitely not go out. Moreover, the research institute was located deep underground, and it was a sealed area in a sealed environment. Even if there was a loud trumpet sound from inside, it would not be heard from the surface. Therefore, there was almost no possibility of leakage.
Therefore, when the Mutants arrived in such a large number and with such a targeted approach, Chu Hao immediately thought of the reason for their arrival … The virus, the unknown connection of the virus told them!
However, it wasn't absolute despair. These mutants didn't seem to know their exact location, so they were using this area as a target to search for them. Secondly, since they couldn't find them by sight or smell, the previous explosion points could be used as a trap to attract their attention. They didn't need to kill or injure them, but they just needed to delay the night.
Chu Hao had already assigned all the tasks, and he was not too worried at the moment. Anyway, he had already done what he could. Now he could only research the antidote as soon as possible.
At the same time, the Mutants on the ground continued their crazy demolition. There were at least a dozen Mutant tribes gathered here, but strangely, there was not even the slightest bit of friction. It was as if an invisible hand was manipulating everything.
And as they got closer and closer to the institute, the first explosion point finally began to explode. Suddenly, almost all the Mutants ran in that direction. Such a loud sound was enough to spread through half of New York City at night, enough to attract all the Mutants.
The number of Mutants had exceeded ten thousand. As for whether it was ten thousand or twenty thousand, because only the surveillance cameras could see it, it was not so clear. However, it was enough to make everyone tremble, especially among these Mutants. The tallest Mutant was more than three meters, close to four meters. His whole body was like the Hulk, and the ground seemed to tremble when he walked. Any Mutants in front of him were either sent flying more than ten meters away, or directly trampled into meat paste. He was the most terrifying existence among this group of Mutants. If this Mutant rushed into the institute, it would really be a massacre, and no one present would be able to fight against him!
However, fortunately, the location and distance of these explosion points that Chu Hao had arranged before were precisely calculated by Chu Hao. The distance of each explosion point was not too far, but also not too close. It just so happened that the Mutants were getting farther and farther away from the institute, and it also took the most time to travel. There were a total of nine explosion points, enough to delay the time until the day.
But after the day, where should everyone go?
Time slowly passed until the next morning, and the Mutants had no choice but to retreat to their respective hiding spots and lairs. It was only then that the people who had been guarding the monitoring room finally breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone was tired after drying their sweat. In fact, on this night, everyone's sweat had dried and wet, and everyone felt like they were about to collapse.
"Then … I'm going to sleep for a while. I'm so tired, more tired than fighting," Zhang Heng said to everyone with a tired face, and then planned to go to the residential area to have a good sleep.
"No, I can't sleep yet."
Chu Hao pushed the door open from the outside, and the dark circles under his eyes were even deeper. These days, he had slept even less than Robert Neff. Robert Neff only needed to do his research, and there were too many things he had to pay attention to. The progress of the antidote, the effectiveness of the antidote at room temperature, the virus problem, the safety of the research institute, the layout of the escape points, the psychological state of the team members, and so on. He was really too tired. Fortunately, he was in good spirits. If it were an ordinary person, he would have collapsed from exhaustion.
The first thing Chu Hao said when he entered the door was to stop Zhang Heng from going to sleep. He then said to everyone, "Time is tight, so I'll make it short. The equipment storage points that we have scouted before, you guys go and move all the weapons here. Heavy weapons, heavy machine guns, machine guns, anti-tank missiles, landmines, everything that can be moved here … By the way, Zhang Heng, you seem to know how to fly a helicopter, right?"
Zhang Heng immediately said proudly, "Let's not talk about helicopters. As long as it's in the 21st century, there's nothing I don't know other than aviation. What do you want to do?"
The transport helicopter will be responsible for moving the weapons. Just park the Apache outside the research institute. You'll probably have to work a little harder. You might have to work the whole day. The TIER can carry a lot of weight, so let it follow you to move the weapons. If possible, bring a tank back. It'll depend on your ability. My request is very simple, I want to see the outside filled with all kinds of weapons and ammunition before dusk! "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Ao Qi immediately said, "No way, Chu Hao, are you planning to turn this place into a battlefield? Are you planning to rely on the few of us to fight against the mutated human army? That's not realistic! "
"There's nothing unrealistic about it!"
Chu Hao's eyes flashed with madness. He said coldly, "If we rely on the research institute's equipment, we can get the antidote by tomorrow morning, or even four or five in the morning. We can return by then. If we lose the research institute and retreat now, we won't be able to make it in time. This is the only way. We have to hold on until the last day. I roughly estimated the time. When the mutated humans gathered yesterday, it was already past one in the morning of the second day. These mutated humans' metabolism is very fast. After nightfall, they need enough time to find enough food. So, they will probably only start searching after midnight. Plus, there's still one more explosion point. When you guys move the weapons and ammunition, I will set up a few more. Although time is limited, three to four explosion points can be set up. This should be enough to buy us about two hours. If we calculate, we only need to hold on for three hours at most. There's no way back. We can only move forward or die! Which one do you choose?! "
Everyone was speechless. Tom then said timidly, "Brother Chu Hao, we can also move the research institute's equipment away. It's better than staying here, right?"
"What about energy?"
Chu Hao shook his head and said, "Everything else is easy, but how do we deal with energy? Moreover, all the equipment here is connected to the research institute's computers. The computers are too big, so we can't move them away. This is the only way. Also, I found out from the autopsy that the Mutants' bodies are not as strong as we thought. Even the evolved Mutant Leader is still made of flesh and blood. It's just that he is stronger, faster, and tougher. As long as we have enough firepower, it's not difficult to deal with them. We can hold them off for at least three hours. Alright, let's not waste time. Let's start moving. Aoqi, I'll give you the map. You'll be in charge of leading them to find the weapons. Let's find a place with a transport helicopter first. It'll be more efficient that way. Go, I'll set up the explosives. "As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Hao handed Aoqi the map and walked out without looking back.
Although the rest of the team was worried, they still had to obey Chu Hao's orders. They did not hesitate and quickly left the research institute with Aoqi leading the way. After getting into a car, they went to the nearest place where the transport helicopter was parked. On the other side, Chu Hao carried the explosives and fixed point explosives and started working.
Time passed quickly. Soon, at around three o 'clock in the afternoon, Chu Hao and the rest of Team Nordic gathered in the open space outside the research institute. Chu Hao started another round of arrangements.
First was the minefield at the outermost perimeter. All the landmines that could be found were placed three streets away from the research center. Although there were a few people working together, it was obvious that Chu Hao was the main force in setting up the landmines. He controlled the core rune of the Hand of Magic and formed an invisible arm that allowed him to complete the work of 10 or 20 people at the same time. Very quickly, the minefield was set up.
After the minefield was set up, they used the hole at the entrance of the research institute to set up a second defensive position. A large number of barbed wire were set up, and several tanks were used as roadblocks. Then, they set up a heavy machine gun position, anti-tank rocket launchers, light field artillery loaded with ammunition, and machine guns on the ground. This was a defensive position that even Billis had to participate in. Basically, everyone was armed to the teeth with all kinds of heavy weapons.
Of course, there was also the Apache helicopter piloted by Zhang Heng. It was also fully armed. It was also equipped with four air-to-ground missiles, which were specially designed to deal with the super-evolved Mutant Leader.
This was the second line of defense. In the research institute below, there was a third line of defense. There were no high-explosive missiles or rocket launchers in this line of defense. Instead, they were all machine guns with strong penetrating power. They relied on the alloy walls of the sealed area to form the final line of defense. Once this line of defense was breached, they would have no choice but to escape.
No matter what, the three lines of defense were finally completed before the sun set. After the sun had set, everyone, including Chu Hao, sat at the second line of defense. Everyone was waiting quietly …
Waiting for the completion of the antidote, waiting for the dawn, or …
Waiting for the bloody battle at night!
