Chapter 1049 A Cunning Two Birds with One Stone
"Heh, what does a little personal sacrifice matter when it comes to the nation and its people?"
Hearing Qin Zhong's words, a hint of emotion flashed in Li Geng's eyes, then he laughed nonchalantly, "Besides, we've had a pretty good time in the US these past few years. With the government's tacit support, my father has become a well-known entrepreneur in the US, and I'm both a member of the League of Legends and a true second-generation rich kid. Even in this apocalypse, life has been quite comfortable..."
"Alright, let's leave those aside for now."
Seeing that Li Geng was starting to veer off-topic again, Qin Zhong waved his hand helplessly, bringing the conversation back to the main point, "Let's talk about serious matters. Since this attack by the Super Tarantula is a test for the League of Legends' foreign aid, what exactly do we need to do after passing it to finally obtain the recipe?"
"You single-handedly annihilated a swarm of giant spiders and then fought two super tarantulas alone to achieve a complete victory. Such strength is enough to make the League of Legends list you as a top-risk target. They will never rashly become your enemy, but they will also not easily hand over the formula."
Li Geng's expression turned serious again, and he analyzed carefully, "Next, they will definitely do everything they can to arrange a series of extremely difficult, even deadly, top-level missions for you. But rest assured, although these missions are extremely difficult, based on their recognition of your strength, the information they provide will be accurate and reliable."
At this point, Li Geng paused slightly, then continued, "Once you successfully collect twenty doses of the virus cure, you can legitimately exchange them with the M country government to obtain the formula they promised. However, according to the intelligence I have, the formula provided by the M country government is an incomplete version with serious flaws. Although this formula can theoretically produce the virus cure, the success rate is extremely low, and it is accompanied by numerous unpredictable side effects and aftereffects."
"Damn it, these American bastards are so insidious!" After listening to Li Geng's account, Qin Zhong gritted his teeth in anger and couldn't help but curse out loud.
The M country government's move was truly brilliant. They used a flawed formula as bait to attract powerful figures from various countries to serve them at any cost.
In this way, the United States can achieve the dual goals of domestic stability and weakening foreign competitive forces at a very low cost.
It has to be said that this was an extremely cunning move, killing two birds with one stone!
Qin Chongqiang suppressed his inner urge to rush into League of Legends and cause a ruckus, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.
Then, Qin Zhong, with a serious expression, continued to press, "You said the formula provided by the American people was incomplete. Does that mean they actually possess the complete formula with no side effects? Also, what exactly are these so-called side effects?"
Li Geng nodded and replied in a heavy tone, "That's right. League of Legends does have a complete formula, but the complete potion is extremely complex to prepare and has a very low success rate. As far as I know, even League of Legends itself has not successfully prepared more than five flawless healing potions so far."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "As for the side effects, they are truly varied. After all, the difficulty of reversing an infected person who has already turned into a zombie back into a human is far beyond imagination. The side effects that have been discovered include total paralysis, half-zombification, severe muscle atrophy, neurological spasms, epilepsy, and so on..."
As Li Geng spoke, he counted the types of side effects on his fingers. Judging from his expression, there were so many side effects that he probably couldn't count them all on ten fingers.
……
"Enough! Damn it... Is this an antidote or poison?" Upon hearing this, Qin Zhong could barely control his emotions and wanted to smash all the healing potions he had obtained.
For him, although his father's current half-zombie state is painful, the price of healing is becoming a paralyzed, unconscious, or even unable to take care of himself "human".
Qin Zhong believed that his father would probably prefer to maintain the status quo rather than undergo this so-called "cure".
Seeing Qin Chong's angry expression, Li Geng was also startled and quickly said, "Although this incomplete healing potion has many side effects, as far as I know, it can be purified. As far as I know, after purification, twenty doses of the potion can become a complete version of a true healing potion without side effects."
"Damn, these American bastards are really cunning!"
Hearing Li Geng's words, Qin Zhong sneered, "At a time when humanity is facing a life-or-death crisis, they are still thinking about weakening the power of other countries. I don't know whether to praise their lofty ambitions or their ignorance of death."
"Who knows? Maybe in their eyes, humans are more terrifying than aliens and zombies!"
Li Geng shook his head and said with a look of disdain, "After all, they are used to being the boss. If you ask them to be the underlings, they would rather drag all of humanity down with them than be ridden by other countries."
"Foolish! Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
Qin Zhong gave a cold laugh, then asked, "By the way, do you know where the Americans got this healing potion and formula?"
This is one of the aspects that Qin Zhong is most concerned about. Since the people of the United States were able to obtain it, they must have had contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, and it must have been deep-level contact.
Otherwise, if even Chu Jiu and Hu Meng couldn't find a way to crack such a powerful X virus, how could the people of the United States easily obtain a solution?
"This... wasn't the formula developed by the US government itself?"
Upon hearing Qin Zhong's question, Li Geng's face showed a hint of doubt. It seemed that although he knew about aliens, he did not know that alien civilizations were completely different from human civilizations.
According to Qin Zhong's understanding, even if human technology were to develop for another thousand years, it would probably still be impossible to crack the bio-virus created by the X-planet people.
"Impossible! The X virus is the X aliens' secret strategic weapon, specifically designed to target humanity, alter Earth's atmosphere, and transform Earth into a planet suitable for the X aliens. How could it possibly be something that humanity's current technology can easily crack!"
Qin Zhong shook his head, his face full of certainty, and said, "Think about it, where was this healing potion developed? Is there anything special about it?"
"Let me think... let me think..." Hearing Qin Zhong's words, Li Geng frowned and fell into deep thought.
After a long pause, he suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed, "I remember now! The place where the M country government developed the healing potion was Las Vegas, which was surrounded by zombies. To be more precise, it should be the 51st district of Las Vegas."
