{MTL} ✅[Space] Rebirth in the end of the world

ch 12: Situation

  Qi Shaoyang asked casually: "I want to ask this eldest brother, do we have to live here?"

"Where do you want to live if you don't live here? Only the canteen and dormitory buildings in the entire military area can live there. Is it possible that you still want to act like a Soldier's family living in the dormitory?" The squad leader sneered while smoking a cigarette.

"We came by car, can we just sleep in the car? The environment inside is too bad." It's not that Qi Shaoyang wants to do something special, but the main thing is to worry that someone will damage their car - if there is no safety in going to D city The Hummer with high performance has a much higher risk index.

The squad leader weighed the sweet boy in his hand for a while, and then let out: "It's not a big problem, it's just that you can't walk around casually and must be under unified management. If something goes wrong, we can drive you out of the military area at any time.

" Of course, there is no problem." Qi Shaoyang smiled politely, but his face was full of stains, but he couldn't see much sincerity.

With a cigarette in his arms, the squad leader returned to his work contentedly. Since their military region began to implement resource control, all the property and materials of these soldiers have been forced to be turned over, saying that it is to be jointly managed and deployed. Although there is an opinion in his heart, he has to obey the arrangement of his superiors.

Glancing at the dense crowd in the cafeteria, and then thinking of the disgusting zombies beyond the wall, the team leader had a bad feeling in his heart.

He took a deep breath of cigarettes, hoping that he was over-hearted.

The three didn't stay long, and quickly returned to the car. Zhu Zikang asked them with his eyes, and Xu Tianxing simply recounted what he had seen and heard.

At the end, Xu Tianxing said with emotion: "Those who are able to come here alive are considered lucky, and so are the few of us. I don't know how long this luck will last." What

he didn't say was that he didn't know if Zhu Zifeng had this luck. . He looked at Zhu Zikang worriedly, but found that the other party hadn't noticed him and was staring out the window at a loss.

Zhu Zikang and Zhu Zifeng have been dependent on each other since he was a child. It doesn't matter whether he has been adopted or has a future, but he doesn't want Zhu Zifeng to be the same as him, so when someone wanted to adopt Zhu Zifeng, he was very reluctant to give up. Or send his only relative away.

Over the years, the two brothers have not met many times. The most common ways of contact are letters, emails and phone calls, but after all, blood is thicker than water, and it is impossible to let go of that bond.

Zhu Zifeng's adoptive father is Zhu Jianbing, a physical education teacher at the No. 3 middle school in H City; his adoptive mother is Qin Wei, an English teacher at the same middle school. Qin Wei was in poor health since she was a child, and having children was too much for her, so the couple decided to go to the orphanage to adopt the child. The orphanage where Zhu Zifeng and the others are located is relatively well-known, otherwise, the couple would not have made a special trip to L City.

Originally, I wanted to adopt the two brothers Zhu Zifeng together, because they share the same surname as Zhu Jianbing, and the two brothers looked very well-behaved, and they did not have the inferiority complex or withdrawn temperament of being an orphan. However, Zhu Zikang, who was only 7 years old, was too precocious and refused the adoption of Zhu Jianbing and his wife on the grounds that he was too old to get close to his adoptive parents.

Zhu Zifeng lived in City H with his adoptive parents before he went to college. He was admitted to City D University of Science and Technology to study business two years ago, with excellent grades and outstanding talents.

After returning to the car, the four of them ate some food each and then began to discuss the future.

"What the hell is going on with the serum? According to our analysis, it should have no effect, but it did heal the people who were bitten by the zombies here. It's impossible..." Xu Tianxing scratched his head, eyes full of eyes. question mark.

Qi Shaoyang and Zhu Zikang both looked at Zhuo Yuan, Zhuo Yuan frowned and said for a while: "In my opinion, alphavirus is a bit similar to radiation, it may have spread to all human beings a few years ago, and it has long been in everyone's body. Be lurking instead of just lurking in meteorites as the soldier said, otherwise, no matter how fast the transmission speed is, it should spread radially from point to surface, then it is impossible for you in L city and me in T city. At the same time, it was invaded by a virus.

Even if the alphavirus can sweep the world in an instant, it is so powerful, but its effect on the human body is completely different. After being attacked by the virus, humans, animals, and plants were all infected, but finally got three completely different results - invalid, zombie, and supernatural.

I thought about it for a long time and felt that this result would show that the responses of humans and viruses are different. Why is there such a difference? What is the difference that makes most humans turn into zombies? After much deliberation, it could only be a genetic difference.

This is just my guess and I'm not an expert on this. If my assumption holds true, I'm a little confused about the serum developed by this military region.

We all know that 100% of people who are bitten by zombies will become zombies, the difference is only in the time it takes to mutate. This shows that the teeth of zombies contain alphavirus, but the serum can clean up the viruses invaded by the bites of zombies, but it cannot treat people who have become zombies, which is too unreasonable.

What's more... They still don't know that there are supernatural beings. This kind of sky-defying genetic mutation is also infected by the alphavirus. If they know, I am afraid they will immediately understand that there is a problem with the serum? Qi Shaoyang thought for a moment and said, "

Maybe the serum they developed does have an inhibitory effect on alphaviruses, but I think this inhibition is also time-effective, and it will soon lose its effect, and those who should become zombies will still mutate. "

Zhu Zikang and Xu Tianxing were horrified. Doesn't this mean that it won't be long before those who were bitten by zombies and returned to ordinary people after being treated in the military region will become real zombies?

" On the other hand, the flexibility of zombies is increasing, and their strength and speed are closer to those of humans. Is it possible that the meteorites on the small islands in the South Pacific are still spreading alphaviruses? The more viruses we absorb, the more polarized it will be - the abilities of psychics and zombies are improving! Zhuo Yuan has known this conclusion for a long time, and now he is telling others to be more vigilant.

This seemingly safe base is full of loopholes, and they must leave here as soon as possible!

The other three were stunned on the spot by Zhuo Yuan's inference. If this is the case, what will ordinary people use to deal with zombies in the future?

Still, Qi Shaoyang reacted faster, he straightened his back and said solemnly: "We can't spend it here, it's too unsafe! Before it gets dark, let's go to inquire about weapons, if we can't get them, we will Don't delay, leave tomorrow!"

Leaving Zhu Zikang on guard in the car, the three of Zhuo Yuan walked towards the administration building to the north.

The entire military area was filled with soldiers patrolling with guns. Zhuo Yuan relied on his spiritual strength far beyond ordinary people to scan it and found that in addition to several gates, administrative buildings, canteens, dormitories, etc. guarding a large number of people, The place where the most force was concentrated was in the remote northeast corner of the military region.

Zhuo Yuan glanced vaguely in that direction for a moment, there must be the armoury, right?

The three of them were quickly stopped by the soldiers guarding in front of the administrative building, and they bluntly questioned their purpose.

Xu Tianxing raised his usual polite smile and said, "The soldiers have worked really hard. In order to protect us, ordinary people, we can't rest on such a hot day. We are new here, and there is nothing else to express our gratitude to. , thank you for your hard work."

Of course, they couldn't come empty-handed, each of the three carried two buckets of 'Changbai Mountain' bottled pure water to honour these soldiers.

Among the soldiers guarding, the first non-commissioned officer with two thick folded epaulettes took three steps forward. The face under the brim of his hat was firm and upright, and the whole person felt sharper than other soldiers.

"My surname is Wu, you can call me Captain Wu." The other party didn't look sideways, didn't look at the bottled water on the ground at all, but looked directly at Zhuo Yuan and the three of them, which seemed very difficult to provoke. "This is not the place you should come, no matter what your thoughts are, now, go back to the cafeteria immediately!"

Zhuo Yuan raised his eyebrows, finally seeing a 'just' soldier of the people.

This kind of soldier Zhuo Yuan, who is full of a sense of responsibility and mission, is very admirable. In the last days of moral decline, in a future that is more desperate every day, only people who are full of positive energy can bring hope to the world. It is because of the existence of these people who never give up that he firmly believes that one day, one day, the end of the world will eventually pass, and mankind will usher in a comprehensive victory.

Looking around at all the guarding soldiers calmly, Zhuo Yuan saw their greedy or indifferent expressions in his eyes.

At this moment, the sound of huge guns and roars came from the direction of the main entrance.

"Quick! Quickly lead these monsters into the trench!"

"The third team changes to submachine guns! Shoot! Shoot for Lao Tzu !

"

, I saw a large number of survivors packed in military cards gathered outside the main gate at some point. Roughly, there were about a hundred people in more than ten vehicles.

And behind these people, a large and a countless number of zombies were rushing towards the military area, and then 'gudonggudong' fell into the ditch like dumplings.

"Let's go to support!" Captain Wu gave an order, and dozens of soldiers who had been guarding in front of the administrative building quickly ran out.

The tightly closed main gate of the military district was immediately occupied by survivors. They were screaming and crying, pushing me up to the iron gate, and then being forcibly pulled down by the soldiers maintaining order.

"Let me in! Let me in!"

"Why don't you let us in! Open the door! Open the door!"

"Ah—mum—woooooooo..."

"Go away! You stepped on me! Go away! "

There are too many survivors who went out to rescue this time, plus the unfortunate introduction of countless zombies, the soldiers in the military region were suddenly stretched, and they were about to stop the survivors who wanted to rush in without checking.

The very sturdy middle-aged major general spat a mouthful of phlegm climbed up to the iron gate three or two times, looked down at the chaotic crowd, and took up the automatic gun 'pupupupu' aimed at the most The ground with a little space ahead strafed a line of bullets.

The crowd suddenly came to a standstill, taking advantage of this gap, the middle-aged general took the loudspeaker handed over by his subordinates and shouted: "Don't fucking crowd here! This door is specially used to defend against zombies, no one You can enter from here! Listen to Lao Tzu, follow Colonel Qu to the side gate, and line up for the doctor to check. Those who are not bitten by zombies can enter immediately, and those who are bitten will be injected with the serum, and they will be quarantined for a day after they improve before entering. District. Whoever is not obedient will throw Lao Tzu into the zombie pile to fend for themselves!" The

survivors looked at each other for a moment, seeing that there was little hope of breaking through the blocking soldier wall, and in a blink of an eye, they rushed to the side door.

Qi Shaoyang looked at it for a long time, and saw that there was no major event, he turned his head to the others and said, "It seems that there will be chaos for a long time tonight, what should I do?"

"Anyway, no one is blocking it, go and give gifts." Xu Tianxing pointed to Six barrels of bottled water laughed.

The three of them tacitly lifted the water and walked into the administrative building.

The lobby on the first floor had nothing but a reception desk. The three of them identified the floor signs. Xu Tianxing pointed to the 'Technical Engineering Department on the third floor' and said, "Go and have a look?

"

Walking up the stairs to the third floor, I saw that there were seven or eight departments on both sides of the spacious corridor, and subtle whispers came from each department.

The three of them didn't take their steps lightly, so soon a short Mediterranean man hurried out from the 'Technical Section (1)' on the left-hand side closest to the stairs.

Seeing the three of them, the Mediterranean man stared at the bottled water in their hands for a moment, and a trace of eagerness flashed in his eyes, which was quickly concealed by him. "Who are you guys? Don't you know that outsiders are forbidden to enter here?"

Zhuo Yuan was a little surprised. Didn't the water and electricity supply in the military area stop yet? It is possible to say that the soldiers who are fighting on the front line are poor in materials, but such high-level technical personnel are beginning to be unable to supply water and other materials. Does this mean that the entire military region is not as good as it looks? reliable?

"Hello, hello~" Xu Tianxing greeted the other party warmly and politely: "We are the survivors who just arrived here this evening. I heard that your military region opened the door for us and took in thousands of people. The civilians who escaped brought a heavy burden to your military region, so our brothers spontaneously donated 500 catties of food. After the settlement was settled, I thought about it and felt very sorry, so we finally collected it again. Bring some bottled water here. Major, please be polite, you have all worked hard!"

That's right, this Mediterranean technical soldier is at the level of a major.

Major Mediterranean was obviously kinder, nodded and said, "It turned out that you were the ones who sent 500 catties of food, young people know how to be grateful, it's very good~ Put this water down, and after a while, the monsters outside will be dealt with, and someone will deal with it. ."

Zhuo Yuan put on a slightly flattering smile and said: "Major is too polite, in fact, we are here to disturb you to ask for something, I wonder if you can help us?"

"I know you What do you want to ask, Xiao Wang has already asked for you. Do you want guns, ammunition, medicine?"

"Yes, yes, you see..."

Major Mediterranean is also a cheerful person, "This thing happens to me I'm in charge, and you all know what's going on right now. Hot weapons are all consumables. One-shot is less than one shot. But I heard that you are going to find your loved ones. I appreciate your love and righteousness. Well, I can handle at most three pistols, one machine gun, and ten magazines, am I cool enough?!"

Zhuo Yuan immediately became more respectful when he heard that he had a door: "This... this is really nice. Now! You are truly a rare living Bodhisattva in the world! I don't know... at this price..."

"One handgun weighs 1,000 pounds of rice, a machine gun weighs 3,000 pounds, and a 500-pound magazine, how about that? Is it cheap enough?!"

To be honest, if it was a peaceful era, the price was simply the price of cabbage. It is completely impossible to support the regulated country Z. But now is the apocalypse where zombies are everywhere! To scavenge tens of thousands of kilograms of rice from the zombies to exchange for guns, is a disguised death!

But if you want to say it too much, it's not too much in the eyes of Zhuo Yuan and the others who have no way. The other party's cleverness is that they are stuck at a number that they can bear but cannot easily accomplish.

The amount of rice in Zhuo Yuan's space far exceeded this amount, but that was the ration he prepared for the six of them, so how could it be taken out now?

Both Zhuo Yuan and Xu Tianxing looked at Qi Shaoyang and asked him to make up his mind. After discovering Qi Shaoyang's leadership, Major Mediterranean looked at him.

"Major, we really don't dare to waste too much time. To collect the amount you mentioned, I'm afraid we will have to stay in the military area for several months. I don't know if this will work. Let's replace it with other things, such as solar generators or nets. Water tank?"

Hearing him say this, the Mediterranean Major couldn't help but give him a high look. It can be seen that their military area generators and water purifiers are not enough, but they are rarely alert.

Now the military region sends trucks to search for survivors and supplies every day. It is not so easy to satisfy thousands of people. In addition, there are fewer and fewer trucks coming back every day. The Mediterranean major is just as worried as other high-level officers and soldiers, he said. Maybe in two days, so many vehicles will not be sent out, otherwise what will be used to defend the military region?

Like solar generators, there were originally two in the military area. But before the apocalypse, their military region enjoyed a dedicated line supply, and there was never a power outage, even an earthquake and debris flow could not shake it. Therefore, the two generators have never been used, and no one has especially managed and maintained them. When I turned them out, I found that they had already been covered with rust and were about to be scrapped, and they were barely usable.

Now the special cable was damaged when the zombies were besieged a few days ago, and the underground river flowing down from the mountain did not know when it was polluted by the zombies. Now they can only drink well water. However, the problem of drinking water for thousands of people is not easy. If there are several water purifiers, it will be a real help!

"If you can really get it, one generator will be replaced by two machine guns!"

"If you have a word, our brothers will definitely do it!" The

Mediterranean major narrowed his eyes with a smile, patted Qi Shaoyang's arm and said: "If When it's done, just find a soldier to give me a message, and say I'm looking for Major Zhang from the Technology Division."

"Okay, thank you, Major Zhang."
