My neighborhood has time-traveled.

Chapter 96 Recovering the Embryonic Mother

Inside the meeting room.

Everyone took their seats.

Wang Hao sat in the main seat, and Li Hao sat in the first seat on the right.

Li Wen sat next to Li Hao.

Zhao Meng sat opposite Li Hao.

Liu Xueqin and Wang Yi sat behind Zhao Meng.

Zhang Xiaonan sat behind Li Wen.

Next up is Niu Dazhuang.

Niu Dazhuang was facing Zhang Jinfeng.

Wang Hao looked at Li Hao and said, "Li Hao, tell me what you've discovered."

Li Hao nodded.

"When I flew out to rescue them, I looked around."

He glanced at the crowd and continued, "For dozens of kilometers around, there are only city ruins, and you can't see any mountains, forests, or hills."

The landscapes we were familiar with have completely disappeared.

Wang Hao's expression immediately changed.

The others also looked surprised.

Wang Hao asked, "You mean...?"

"I can't be sure yet."

Li Hao said, "Did our community travel to this zombie world, or did this zombie world suddenly appear near our community?"

But regardless of which possibility...

He paused, his tone grave:

"The world we knew is gone."

There was silence all around.

"No way," Li Wen muttered.

Wang Hao opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Zhao Meng, Liu Xueqin, and the others exchanged bewildered glances, their faces grim.

They had finally adapted to that world with mountains, forests, and mutated beasts, and had just gained a foothold, having just cleared out the lords from all four directions.

Now tell them that world is gone?

"This..." Wang Hao began with difficulty, "This is too..."

"In addition," Li Hao continued, "Chen Zhen and the others told me about the classification of zombies in this world."

He then briefly explained the five levels.

When they heard the words "Zombie King," everyone's expression changed.

"Level 5!" Wang Hao's eyes widened. "Higher than you?"

"That's how it is for now," Li Hao nodded. "But I'm getting closer to it."

Wang Hao fell silent.

Even someone as powerful as Li Hao hasn't reached level five.

It's easy to imagine how terrifying the zombie kings' power must be.

After a long silence, he asked, "Then... what do we do?"

Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "Chen Zhen said there is a human base nearby. I plan to fly a little further and see what's going on around here."

If it's confirmed that the entire world has become ruins, then we'll have to replan.

"A human base?" Wang Hao's eyes lit up. "Maybe we could form an alliance with them?"

Li Hao shook his head: "Don't think about this for now."

A human base that can survive for ten years under the zombie king's nose must contain truly powerful individuals. Going there now would put us at a significant disadvantage.

Li Wen said, "Yes, other places aren't as harmonious as ours."

Zhao Meng also spoke up, "I guess the most likely method will be to govern by violence."

At least that's what he felt.

This world is even more difficult; it's impossible to rule a base without some tough measures.

If he were to establish a base, he might just carry out a massacre to intimidate everyone.

If one could be even more ruthless, enslaving other humans wouldn't be out of the question.

Niu Dazhuang chimed in, "That's right. Our community follows a path of harmonious development. Everyone is united and friendly. Such a governance system is extremely rare, and it's all thanks to Chief Wang and Team Leader Li."

He looked at the others and said seriously, "To be honest, I really don't think any other base in this world can be like our Dawn."

Zhang Jinfeng nodded and said, "Although we are all human, we should still be vigilant about other human bases."

Everyone nodded.

Shuguang Community is a safe community built by everyone together. Everyone has paid a great price to protect this community.

It was achieved at the cost of many lives.

The environment has changed drastically, and we cannot let our guard down even when facing the same people.

It's better to be on guard.

Otherwise, they might capsize in a ditch.

Wang Hao thought for a moment and nodded: "You're all right."

We cannot allow outsiders to damage our community.

He looked at Li Hao and said, "Then Li Hao, you should go and scout ahead, check out the surrounding situation, and discuss the matter of contacting the base in a more thorough manner."

"Um."

Li Hao nodded. Just then, the AI ​​suddenly gave a notification.

The female reproductive organ has recovered and is ready to give birth.

This news delighted Li Hao.

He immediately told everyone, "The implanted mother body can now produce AI units."

Wang Hao smiled upon hearing this, "That's great, it'll come in handy at this crucial moment."

After such a long recovery, I can finally give birth.

This is rare good news.

Li Wen reached out and shouted with a smile, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go go go!"

Everyone stood up from their seats with smiles on their faces.

Li Hao took the lead and walked ahead, followed by Wang Hao, Li Wen, and others.

They arrived at the room where the cyborg mother was located.

The cyborg mother was in the center of the room, opening and closing as if she were breathing.

After being fed evolution stones and zombie crystal cores for a long time, it is now about two square meters in size, and its surface is covered with dense blood vessels.

It looks quite creepy.

Li Hao issued a command through the AI, and soon after, the surface of the colony mother body writhed and expelled a colony unit.

It's a smaller sarcoma.

Li Hao held the bio-engineered unit in his hand.

"So this is the bio-engineered AI unit."

"So small."

"This kind of biotechnology is simply terrifying."

"Yes, it's much more powerful than our Earth."

"That's not necessarily true. Our electromagnetic railguns and atomic bombs are no joke; it's just that our development directions are different."

"Yeah, that makes sense. Maybe the attack potential of these bio-engineered weapons isn't even as high as that of a hydrogen bomb."

Everyone looked at the small bio-unit and chimed in with their own comments.

[A smart brain unit has been detected that is already bound; it cannot be bound again.]

Li Hao received a notification from the AI ​​in his mind.

"Wang Hao, here you go."

Li Hao glanced at everyone present, and finally handed the implanted AI unit to Wang Hao.

After all, Wang Hao is the city lord of Dawn City, or rather, the person in charge of the Dawn Base.

As the person in charge behind the scenes, he was naturally the first choice to bind the implanted AI unit.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

"Everyone will get one eventually." Wang Hao smiled as he took the bio-engineered unit from Li Hao's hand.

[Bind or Not?]

"Yes."

As soon as Wang Hao confirmed it, the implanted AI unit flew directly under his nose and melted instantly, like a slug crawling inside.

Wang Hao rubbed his nose, took a deep sniff, and then froze.

"Wow." He looked at everyone present, his face showing surprise, and blinked.

He turned his neck and looked around curiously.

[Ontology evaluation in progress]

Bioenergy intensity ≈ 330-340 standard units

[Strength Level Rating: Level 3]

Li Wen asked excitedly, "How was it? How did it feel?"

Wang Hao said, "The whole world feels clearer now."

My vision and hearing were suddenly enhanced.

Wang Hao scanned the numerous faces one by one.

Everyone's strength is displayed simultaneously.

For example, Zhang Xiaonan's bioenergy intensity is approximately 345-355 standard units.

[Strength Level Assessment: Level Three]

Zhao Meng, [Bioenergy intensity ≈ 335-345 standard units]

[Strength Level Assessment: Level Three]

Wang Yi, [Bioenergy intensity ≈ 325-335 standard units]

[Strength Level Assessment: Level Three]

Liu Xueqin, [Bioenergy intensity ≈ 305-310 standard units]

[Strength Level Assessment: Level Three]

Wang Hao looked excited and said to everyone, "I can clearly see your specific strengths. Tsk tsk tsk, this is simply a cheating device."

"How much do I have now?" Li Wen asked immediately.

Wang Hao looked at Li Wen and said, "Your bioenergy intensity is 340-350 standard units, which is level three."

"And me?" Zhao Meng asked as well.

"Your bioenergy intensity is approximately 335-345 standard units, which is also level three."

When Li Wen heard that Zhao Meng's score was not as high as his, he patted Zhao Meng's shoulder lightly and said in a wise old-fashioned tone, "Old Zhao, you're not as high as me. You need to work harder."

Zhao Meng's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything.

What I was thinking was that high stats didn't necessarily mean true strength; if they were to fight, the outcome was uncertain.

He was very confident in his ability to control lightning.

"Where's Old Niu?" Niu Dazhuang asked anxiously.

Wang Hao said, "Your bioenergy intensity is approximately 307-317 standard units, which is also level three."

"Sigh, why am I so weak?" Niu Dazhuang said with resentment.

Zhang Jinfeng also asked about his own strength, and found it to be about the same as Niu Dazhuang's.

Wang Hao said, "Among them, Zhang Xiaonan is the most capable."

Zhang Xiaonan's energy level reached 345-355, which was almost the highest among everyone.

"I really couldn't tell."

"Telekinesis is really powerful."

"yes."

"Actually, it was obvious a long time ago."

Everyone looked at Zhang Xiaonan in surprise.

Zhang Xiaonan felt a little embarrassed by everyone's stares and blushed.

Liu Xueqin suddenly looked at Li Hao curiously and asked, "Where is Captain Li Hao?"

Wang Hao shook his head and said with a wry smile, "His strength is too great, and he is shrouded in an invisible force field that the AI ​​cannot detect."

Li Wen immediately looked at Li Hao and asked excitedly, "Brother, what's your strength level now?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at Li Hao.

Li Hao smiled, withdrew the force field, and said to Wang Hao, "Take another look now."

Upon seeing this, Wang Hao immediately exclaimed, "Li Hao's bioenergy intensity is approximately 490-495 standard units!"

"Wow!"

"As expected of the captain, he's almost at level five."

Everyone looked excited and shocked.

Li Hao's strength gave everyone a sense of security.

Wang Hao suddenly said, "Li Hao, should you wait until you successfully break through to level five before going out?"

Liu Xueqin also said, "Yes, that's safer. Even those level 5 zombie kings probably won't be a match for you."

After thinking for a moment, Li Hao said to everyone, "The safest option is indeed to wait until level 5 before going out, but my daily progress is getting slower and slower. To reach level 5, I urgently need more high-level evolution stones and zombie crystal cores."

"Waiting here is too passive and takes too much time."

"Instead of doing that, we should take the initiative to go outside and kill zombie lords to increase our strength."

"Otherwise, if one day a level 5 zombie king really attacks our Dawn Community, and I haven't reached level 5 yet, then I'll be in danger."

Niu Dazhuang nodded. "Yes, that makes sense."

Wang Yi also said, "Captain Li Hao is right. If we just wait and slowly improve, it will indeed be too passive."

Everyone nodded in agreement, agreeing that Li Hao's considerations were more thorough.

Li Hao looked at Wang Hao and said to him, "Now you and I both have implanted AI, which allows us to communicate. If there is any danger in the community, I will rush back immediately."

Wang Hao nodded. "Okay, be careful."

"Um."

The others accompanied Li Hao outside.

"boom!"

The sonic boom was deafening!

Li Hao's figure soared into the sky and instantly disappeared into the horizon.

Only a ring of white air remained, slowly spreading outwards.
