403: Yes, there are bad guys.

After disconnecting the communication, Tian Ming said to Mo Fei, "Qiu Qian has agreed to take you in, but you can't return to Point Number One just yet. You need to cooperate with the research institute to refine your body data."

Mo Fei frowned and asked, "Boss, how long will that take?"

"How would I know that? Once you're done with the tests, come find me at my manor. I'll customize a cold weapon for you. I noticed you had some moves during the fight just now; have you practiced martial arts?"

Mo Fei scratched his head, "Uh, I've practiced a bit, but it was just a hobby, self-taught."

Tian Ming nodded slightly and said, "Alright, cooperate with the research institute, and come find me after you're done."

Tian Ming patted Mo Fei's shoulder and left the weapon testing area.

Watching Tian Ming's retreating figure, Mo Fei shouted loudly, "Boss, I definitely won't let you down!"

Tian Ming didn't respond, his figure disappearing around the corner. Mo Fei stood in place, watching Tian Ming's departure. To be honest, he was originally a dead man, yet he had experienced such great ups and downs. His current thoughts had become very complex; now, he was full of high-tech components, no longer purely human.

However, on the other hand, Mo Fei now possessed the basic conditions to become a super soldier, but his mindset and thoughts were still those of an ordinary person. An ordinary person embarking on an extraordinary path, he also felt an inexplicable fear and unease in his heart.

At this moment, Tian Ming had returned to his manor. Xiao Xiao was playing carefree in the garden. Seeing her father return, Xiao Xiao quickly took steps and ran over.

"Papa, there are bad guys, there are bad guys."

Tian Ming was startled and asked, "Bad guys? Where are the bad guys?"

"I'll go catch them for you!" Xiao Xiao finished speaking and immediately activated her skill, the ability of psychic teleportation. In an instant, she disappeared into the air. Tian Ming was a little helpless; the little one's abilities were becoming more and more proficient, some of which he didn't even possess.

In a moment, Xiao Xiao returned, and two halos flashed. She had brought back two zombies. The zombies bared their fangs and lunged at Tian Ming.

Tian Ming waved his hand, and the two zombies were directly sent flying by a powerful current of air. Tian Ming's expression darkened as he looked at Xiao Xiao and asked, "Where did you catch them from?"

Xiao Xiao looked at her father's stern face, lowered her head, and said, "Below, they were digging a hole, so I brought them back."

Hearing Xiao Xiao's words, Tian Ming squatted down and looked at Xiao Xiao. These zombies were tunneling underground, and Tian Quan had already sent mechanical armies to dig vertical shafts and set up sensors in the lower levels a hundred kilometers away.

Xiao Xiao used her teleportation ability to catch zombies, which meant it was at least a hundred kilometers away. This sensory ability, exceeding a hundred kilometers, could it be that some of his daughter's abilities were even stronger than his own?

"Sweetheart, tell Daddy, how far away were these bad guys you caught from here, and how did you know their location?"

Xiao Xiao tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Daddy, I don't know how far, but I can feel them. As long as I think about finding them, I can find them."

A hint of surprise flashed in Tian Ming's eyes, and he secretly sighed, 'This child's ability is indeed extraordinary. Perhaps, in the future, she can become a great help to me.'

Tian Ming smiled slightly, stroked Xiao Xiao's hair, and said, "Sweetheart, you go play first. Daddy has some things to deal with. If any more bad guys try to sneak close to our base, tell Number Two. Don't catch them when Daddy isn't home."

Xiao Xiao nodded but asked somewhat confusedly, "W-why?"

"Because you're too little, you'll get hurt!"

Tian Ming's words made Xiao Xiao frown slightly. She didn't like the feeling of being protected. Although she was still young, she knew she had the ability to protect herself. However, seeing Tian Ming's serious expression, Xiao Xiao still nodded, indicating she understood.

"Alright, go play!"

At this moment, the projected image from Number Three appeared in his mind. Number Three was directly connected to Tian Quan, and information was shared. Tian Ming could understand the development of the entire battle situation through Number Three.

Since the official start of the war, the overall situation had always been under Tian Ming's control. The number of zombies was too large, and Jiang Chen seemed to have secretly allowed the zombies to reproduce infinitely, because the number of basic zombies on the Linshan Defense Line had basically not changed, but it was becoming increasingly difficult to detect them.

"Master, reports from the enemy's rear positions indicate that a large number of poisonous zombies have entered the defense line. Several points have been contaminated, and personnel losses are significant, with a casualty rate reaching fifty percent. Tian Quan hopes you can replicate three million doses of the new antidote and transport them to the front line."

Tian Ming frowned and asked, "What, was the previous antidote not effective?"

"No, the new antidote incorporates nanobots, which can effectively decompose toxins in the human body, but it's also a newly released experimental product. It has passed safety tests on virtual humans, but current production cannot keep up."

Tian Ming nodded and said, "Alright, send the sample over, and I'll replicate it. How is Qiu Qian's Point Number One doing?"

"The zombies have launched three consecutive attacks. Currently, there are still over ten thousand people at her stationed position. The attackers have also become smarter, no longer concentrating their attacks but instead using multiple small units for harassment. The intensity of the attacks has decreased, but it keeps the entire point constantly on edge."

Tian Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Tell Qiu Qian to remain vigilant, and also notify other points to strengthen their defenses and prepare for scattered zombie attacks. Additionally, have the research institute quickly develop better weapons and strategies to deal with poisonous zombies."

"Yes, Master!"

After Tian Ming ended his conversation with Number Three, a hovercar drove into the manor within ten minutes, bringing the new antidote. Since the breakthrough in the base's nanobot technology, horizontal development had also been actively expanding. However, there was still a fundamental difference from abilities.

The movement of nanobots in the microscopic world requires energy. These nanoscale robots are simple enough in structure, but their vast numbers mean they cannot carry batteries and must rely on the environment for energy.

At this moment, Tian Ming stood beside the hovercar in the manor, holding the new antidote in his hand, and began to replicate. Three million doses, at Tian Ming's current replication speed, would only take one or two hours.

At this time, outside Tian Ming's manor, robots were busily working, transporting the new antidote, which was being urgently sent to the front line by airship.

Two days later, Mo Fei appeared outside the manor. He was now fully armed, wearing a black nanotech combat suit and holding an energy weapon, his gaze fixed on the manor's gate. His purpose for this trip was to accept a new mission and embark on a new journey.
