The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 143 Attraction Hypothesis

In the early morning, Zhang Su pointed to the four zombie corpses lying at the gate and asked Lu Yubo: "Did you lure them here to relieve your boredom?"

The grain sampler in Lu Yubo's hand was still stained with blood. He shook his head: "They are all wandering zombies who were working on the barbed wire fence."

Zhang Su knelt down and looked at the zombie corpses through the branches, and said: "The ability of zombies to sniff out living people is definitely better than before. Otherwise, these zombies would have no reason to wander into the glass factory while wandering on the road."

"Brother Su, is there a possibility..."

Liu Tianji walked to Zhang Su and asked tentatively: "I have an immature idea. Can you tell me?"

"Speak freely, we don't want to be like the workplace." Zhang Su motioned for Liu Tianji to speak.

Liu Tianji nodded and said: "I will analyze it according to the direction I can understand. Could it be that the zombie virus not only reacts to living creatures nearby? It can subconsciously sense living creatures in a wide range, and it can also The more objects there are, the clearer the perception.”

Zhang Su was stunned after hearing what Liu Tianji said, and said: "You mean, we are all signal transmitters, and zombies can detect the signals we emit and then move towards places with dense signal sources?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Su, you summed it up very vividly, that's what it means. My language expression skills are not very good, hahaha."

Liu Tianji quickly sent a compliment.

Lu Yubo stood aside and listened blankly, muttering: "I guess, if this is really the case, then the security base that has gathered a large group of survivors must be unlucky..."

At this point, he looked at Zhang Su with a look of shock: "Brother Su, do you still remember the group of zombies you encountered on the street of Yirewen convenience store before?"

Zhang Su nodded and said solemnly: "If Xiao Liu's guess is true, the zombie group is moving towards a large gathering of survivors!"

At this point in the discussion, the three of them looked at each other with a shudder in their hearts.

For some reason, Zhang Su suddenly had a weird idea in his mind. The whole world seemed to have turned into a human body, and zombies were immune cells in the human body, while humans, or living creatures, turned into viruses and bacteria. Immune cells are frantically searching for and eating them...

"It's time to eat. Sister Tan and Brother Zhuzi have cooked a big pot of noodles. It's delicious, huh? What are you three plotting, so serious?"

Zheng Xinyu ran over to ask a few people to eat, but found that the three people's expressions were not right.

"It's okay, let's eat first."

Zhang Su waved his hand and then walked towards the factory.

A bowl of hot noodle soup with instant noodle seasoning and an egg boiled in the noodle soup made everyone feel warm, and the taste of happiness made some people's noses sour.

While clearing away the dishes, Zhang Su clapped his hands and said, "Well, Xiao Liu mentioned something before. I think it's very possible. Let's discuss it together."

Zhao Dezhu picked his teeth beautifully, leaned against the wall with great satisfaction, and said, "Brother, what's the matter? You look very serious."

"Yes, it's a serious matter, so I chose to tell you all after dinner, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to eat well..."

Zhang Su's words made the slightly lazy people immediately become nervous.

Immediately afterwards, he made public the conjecture Liu Tianji had told him before.

"This is impossible, right?"

Many people subconsciously choose not to believe it, and there are also people who think silently.

"We still have too little understanding of the zombie species. If nothing else, we don't even know where the zombies came from. We always thought it was caused by viruses, but we don't know whether it is. Based on observations over a period of time, I I think Xiao Liu’s attraction hypothesis is valid.”

Attraction hypothesis, named by Zhang Su.

"Then..." Zhang Ya raised her hand and said, "Then if this hypothesis is true, doesn't it mean that the more densely populated a large safe area is, the more likely it will be a target of zombie attacks?"

"Human beings are social animals, and staying together to stay warm is our weapon against the apocalypse. The emergence of zombies seems to be targeting us, and it seems reasonable to restrain our behavior."

Yu Wen said slowly with a thoughtful look on his face.

"I also think it's possible. Otherwise, why would zombies in urban areas run in groups to the suburbs? I guess it's because there are more survivors in rural areas, and they gather together in greater density, so they are attracted to them."

Zheng Xinyu expressed her guess.

Yu Qing raised her hand and said: "Let me interrupt, in fact, I not only teach chemistry, but also took biology subjects before. From a biological point of view, it is entirely possible for zombies to evolve the ability to sense humans, or it is possible It is unknown whether it will target other living creatures.”

In this way, everyone gradually enriched this attraction hypothesis with your words and my words.

"Do you think there are still surviving scientific research institutions engaged in research? Is it possible for our society to recover as before?"

Tan Huajun asked with a sad look on his face.

"It is definitely impossible to return to the past. People who become zombies should be completely dead. Even if the virus is removed, they cannot be saved. In other words, it is irreversible... After calculation, at least 90% of the people are dead. Qincheng used to have a permanent population of one million, but now there are not even 100,000. How can it go back to the past!"

Wu Lue said very pessimistically.

"How can there be such a high survival rate? It may be there in the early stage of the outbreak, but it will be at most 3% later. The technical college where Pei Lan and I escaped does not even have 3%!"

Chen Hanzhou said while hanging his arms. After experiencing his arm being bitten off, his personality gradually returned to its previous state and he became willing to speak.

Pei Lan continued: "Chen Hanzhou is right. There are not many people in our school, probably around 8,000, certainly less than 10,000. There are no more than 200 people alive. The most important thing is that many people can't hold on for long after escaping from the school. , aren’t we?”

When they escaped from the academy, there were more than ten people together, but now only the two of them, Kuang Miao and Song Yijun are left, and there are at most four people.

If calculated based on the school's survival rate, it would fall directly below one percent...

"Discovering the habits of zombies requires us to be more proactive in solving them. How can we end up chatting more and more?"

Zhang Su felt that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly changed the tone: "We have to think better and not slack off at the same time. No matter how awesome the zombies are, as long as everyone works together, one plus one is far greater than two, and the sand becomes a tower and the river becomes a sea. We can definitely be here Let’s survive this fucking apocalypse and get better and better!”

Prosperous!

These impassioned words aroused strong dissatisfaction from Good Luck. Come on, why are you slandering me?

Everyone knows that Zhang Su is motivating people. They can really feel it from the recent experience. From the beginning, he didn't even dare to go out, but now he has food, drink, bathing, and an activity area to chat with others. The changes are quite big. .

Everyone has positive confidence in the future.

Nonghua Glass Factory serves as a temporary camp. Zhang Su plans to rest for three days to allow everyone to return to a full state before considering returning to the city. However, he has been planning with a few people how to get firearms from the military camp on Wenhua Road.

Unfortunately, there was too little information available. Only the general layout plan of the military camp provided by Zhao Dezhu was unknown. As for the current situation of the military camp, the plan seemed empty.

Although the time is leisurely, no one can really enjoy the warm winter sun leisurely. Everyone is training with a strong sense of urgency. Only those on guard can get a moment of respite.

The day passed in a hurry and was very peaceful. No people or vehicles passed by the road in front of the glass factory. On the contrary, zombies occasionally attacked the fence and the wall behind the factory, which further supported the attraction hypothesis.

At night, after watching the cartoon, Pang Pangkun took the initiative to climb up to the roof to watch, while the tired people fell asleep one after another.

"I feel that everyone is almost rested and can set off tomorrow."

Zhang Su lay on the bed and muttered to Zhong Xiaoshan next to him, Zheng Xinyu was the first sentry tonight.

"I know you want to go to that military camp quickly, but as I said before, let everyone rest for three days."

Zhong Xiaoshan suggested.

"I just said to rest for two or three days, but I didn't say it must be three days..." Zhang Su grinned, turned over and said: "If possible, I just want to continue to live this kind of peaceful life, but it's a pity that the defense here is too Weak, every night I worry about someone breaking in.”

Zhong Xiaoshan also turned sideways and looked at Zhang Su and said, "We have sixteen people now. There shouldn't be many teams stronger than us, right?"

"Not much?" Zhang Su stretched out his dishonest hand from inside the quilt and said: "Don't be arrogant, let alone underestimate outsiders, not to mention distant ones, just say Beiliang Village across the river from Shuiwa Village. They took in survivors from some other villages, and their number far exceeds ours!”

"If they come back here to collect supplies, is it possible that they will conflict with us? This is all possible, so establishing our own safe base as soon as possible is the key!"

Zhang Su hugged Zhong Xiaoshan into his arms, and his hair, which had just been washed yesterday, had a long-lost fragrance.

"I suggest you stay for three days, because everyone feels from the bottom of their hearts that you plan to stay for three days. If you say you are leaving tomorrow, it will appear hasty. But you can decide for yourself. I am just making a suggestion based on everyone's psychological level."

Zhong Xiaoshan said softly.

Zhang Su has an excellent hearing. If he is willing to listen to other people's conversations, many words will not escape his ears. Naturally, he also knows what everyone is thinking. He nodded slightly and said: "Okay, then we will stay for one more day and leave the day after tomorrow!"

After saying that, the sound of chatting disappeared in the bedroom, and was replaced by another sound that no one liked to hear, so I won't describe it.
