Chapter 995 Has he lost his mind?
"So... this time you're going to the United States?"
Qin Zhong sneered, "You're being far too reckless. Putting aside the dangers of sea voyages, how can you be sure that the person who sent this message is truly from the US, and not an X alien impersonating someone to deliberately set a trap and lure survivors from various countries to their deaths?"
"It's uncertain, but even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, we must strive for the formula for the virus treatment drug."
Faced with Qin Zhong's sneer, You Keliang shook his head solemnly and said firmly, "Even if it really is a trap, it concerns the safety of all mankind, and we have an unshirkable responsibility!"
After a moment of contemplation, Qin Zhong took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "You soldiers are both foolish and admirable!"
Looking at You Keliang's solemn face, Qin Zhong said helplessly, "You've seen that sperm whale. It could kill you all with a single turn. Why don't I go to the US instead? Of course, I'll go to Bali to find my parents first, and then head to the US... It will take some time, but it's better than you going to your deaths."
Although Qin Chong's tone was full of disdain when he said these words, he truly admired these soldiers.
Knowing that this was a journey fraught with peril, they still embarked on the expedition without hesitation for the sake of humanity. It would be too much of a pity to let these "foolish" creatures die so easily!
"Really?"
Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, You Keliang's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head and said, "No, I won't. In the sea, my combat power is no worse than yours. Even if these warships can't reach the United States, I can go alone."
"You Keliang, have you lost your mind?"
Qin Zhong glanced at You Keliang and said disdainfully, "What's the use of being strong in the sea? When you get to the US, aren't you going to stay ashore? How much fighting power will you retain after that? Besides, do you really think that traveling underwater is faster or less dangerous than me flying at high altitudes?"
At this point, Qin Chong paused, a mocking look on his face, and continued, "I know what you're worried about... Don't worry, although I, Qin Chong, may not be a great hero, I am certainly not a despicable person. Once I get my hands on the virus treatment formula, I will give you a copy unconditionally. I won't use it to blackmail you or make you exchange it for something."
"Ahem! That's not what I'm worried about... it's just... it's just..."
Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, You Keliang's face instantly turned bright red. He wanted to explain and refute, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know how to refute Qin Zhong.
As Qin Zhong said, You Keliang was indeed worried that Qin Zhong would take this opportunity to monopolize the formula for the virus treatment drug, or that they would have to exchange it for something precious.
You have to understand that in the last transaction, Qin Zhong had almost emptied their inventory and technology. Even if they were to exchange again, they probably wouldn't have anything left to offer in exchange.
"Alright, I won't lie to you. Just remember to help Tiangang out while I'm away, so that when I come back and find out something has happened to the base, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
Qin Zhong waved his hand, interrupting You Keliang, and said, "Go back and tell your minister what I said. My time is limited, so I won't say any more to you. Wait for my good news."
After saying that, Qin Chong didn't even look at You Keliang. He bent his legs and pushed off the deck with all his might. With a loud bang, Qin Chong soared into the air, and a pair of metal wings instantly unfolded. He flew towards Bali at an extremely fast speed.
"Go! Order all fleets to return to port!"
Watching Qin Chong soar into the distance and the two deep footprints on the deck, You Keliang's expression turned solemn. After a long while, he finally gave the order.
Indeed, as Qin Zhong said, the dangers in the sea are no less than those on land. Although there are no countless zombies in the sea, there are countless mutated sea beasts.
Given the strength of these warships, it would be almost impossible for them to cross the South China Sea. If they were to follow Qin Chong's example and advance by air, they would likely be killed by the mutated seabirds before they could travel far.
After all, their air force didn't have Qin Zhong's abnormal defensive and offensive capabilities.
Therefore, at this moment, You Keliang could only place his hopes on Qin Zhong, hoping that this powerful man who was good at creating miracles could bring back the virus treatment formula from the United States, which was of great significance to all mankind.
……
"Virus treatment drugs? Where did the people of Country M get them? Did they come from the aliens from Planet Y?"
While flying in the air, Qin Zhong glanced at the instructions on the navigation device, slightly changed direction, and then accelerated again.
As he flew, Qin Chong pondered to himself. It wasn't that he looked down on human technology, but rather that the apocalyptic virus was developed by the X-planet people and was a powerful bio-virus released specifically to exterminate humanity.
The biotechnology of the X-planet people is not only not on the same level as that of humans, but also completely different in terms of research direction and civilization structure.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, it is currently impossible for human technology to crack biochemical viruses and develop a cure.
Unless, of course, the so-called cure from Country M was not developed by them at all, or rather, it was developed based on biotechnology obtained from the Y aliens!
If that's really the case, then all of this can be explained; otherwise, it's probably just a trap, as I said before.
It's even possible that the one sending this signal wasn't a person from the US at all, but rather someone from Devil Mountain or even an X alien.
The reason they sent this signal was to lure out the human forces on Earth so they could annihilate them in one fell swoop.
If that's the case, then Qin Zhong's trip to the United States will likely be fraught with trouble.
"Choo Choo Choo!"
Just as Qin Chong was flying at high speed, a piercing bird cry interrupted his thoughts.
Then, Qin Zhong saw countless giant white seabirds appear in flocks, swooping down on him with a whooshing sound and heart-stopping cries.
"Damn seabirds!"
Looking at these giant birds, which were entirely white except for their slightly dark wingtips, Qin Zhong cursed inwardly and quickly adjusted his posture to prepare for this sudden aerial attack.
Then, Qin Zhong frowned slightly, activated his tactical detection goggles, and began scanning.
Fortunately, the database of the tactical detection goggles contained information on this mutated seabird, and after only a brief scan, detailed information about these seabirds quickly appeared.
Target Name: Mutant Marine Creature—Mutant Albatross!
Fighting style: Combination charge, claw strikes, and long beak pecking!
Target characteristics: extremely fast, large size, incredible strength, and strong defense, capable of withstanding fire from weapons of common caliber.
Target weaknesses: head and wings!
Note: Before the mutation, the albatross was already one of the largest flying birds. The mutated albatross is even larger, with a wingspan of up to ten meters and a body length exceeding five meters. Combined with its gregarious lifestyle, this makes it an extremely difficult bird to deal with. If you encounter it on land or an island, please immediately seek shelter.
If you encounter this aircraft in the air, please abandon your plane without hesitation. Good luck!
