Human Restart [Whistle]

Regardless of Dorothy's decision, it will no longer affect Shaw's decision now.As Dorothy said, she was a guide with sentries.Before making any major decisions, he must consider Yufei's position and feelings.

There was an impasse between Shawley and Dorothy, unless one of them had a sudden enlightenment.But judging from the current situation, unless the sun comes out to the west, there will be no compromise on one side.

Early the next morning, Dorothy's house was in a gloomy atmosphere. Only Jane, who had been depressed for several days, showed a smile. She woke up early, and then busily cleaned up the only thing they could rely on Means of transportation - caravan, and inventory the materials in the caravan.

"When will we leave?" Xiao Jian was like a bird that had been locked in a cage for a long time, freedom was in sight, and she couldn't wait. "The caravan is well-equipped, with plenty of clean water and medicines, but fast food...basically none."

"Departure in two days." Yu Fei was drawing on the map with a pencil, researching the departure route.The maps were provided by Dorothy, a national map and a state map.The two maps are old and slightly yellowed.In the early days, Xiao Jian had read it over and over again and knew it by heart.

"We can't get very far without food and gas...we'll have to go back to Berry Crisp."

Crispy Berry City is in the opposite direction from where you left, and Eco Town is right in the middle of the two directions.Without telling Xiao Li, Yu Fei decides to go to the Crispy Berry Market by himself.

Little Jane volunteered and said, "I'll go back with you!"

"No, you don't have to go with me, you should stay here." Yufei said, "Take care of Xiaoli for me. You don't have to worry about going back, because someone will go back with me."

This "person" refers to the bearded Green who proposed last night to find more supplies.

After a few days of "partner" and observation, although Yufei still thinks that the bearded Green is weak in his heart, at least he will not hold him back or distract him in action.

"Don't get me wrong." Yu Fei thought for a while, and then added: "I'm not saying that Xiao Li is bad...I just don't want to be distracted."

Because he cared too much about the guide, and because the situation he faced might be very dangerous.If Xiao Li is by his side, then Yufei's mind is definitely 90.00% on Xiao Li, and [-]% on dealing with danger.

Xiao Jian expresses her understanding, and she has a deep understanding of Yu Fei's possessiveness towards Xiao Li.But when Xiao Jian heard the words, she still said worriedly: "But you two, and one of them is an ordinary person, are you sure you can really...?"

"Don't worry." Yufei said in a nonchalant tone: "More people will be more troublesome, sometimes it is easier to act with fewer people."

I don't know if it's because Quantum Beast is a leopard, but most of the time, Yu Fei doesn't like teamwork very much, and prefers to act alone.

They were whispering in the living room on the first floor, seemingly intimate, but in fact they were discussing their departure plan very seriously. Dorothy and Ambrose hid in the kitchen and worked on breakfast.After a while, Xiao Li walked down from the second floor with a gloomy expression, and Yu Fei gave Xiao Jian a wink, and they immediately ended the topic.

"Good morning baby." Yu Fei walked over, hugged her guide and kissed her, "Are you going to the hospital today?"

Xiao Li looked depressed, he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning last night, and when he closed his eyes, he would dream of the long-lost nightmare again.He nodded and said in a flat voice: "I have to tell the old doctor that we are leaving, he will understand us...?"

Although the old doctor once said, "Not everyone wants to be a 'hero'."

However, his decision to leave the hospital and the ecological town still made Xiao Li feel more or less guilty, always feeling that he was really "irresponsible".

After Dorothy got up, she hid in the kitchen and was busy. At this time, she heard the conversation between Xiao Li and Yu Fei outside the kitchen, and Xiao Li's final decision.Still couldn't help but secretly sighed.

"Stubbornness" is like a common disease inherited in the family. I am so stubborn, and so are Shaw and Xiaoli.But "stubbornness" is a bad thing, the bad thing is that he runs counter to Xiao Li's ideas...

Dorothy adjusted her expression, then walked out of the kitchen and interjected, "I also want to go to the hospital and see the mayor... By the way, I want to see the forest farm."

Since the mayor released the news about the "zombie frenzy" through the town radio a few days ago, very few townspeople outside the "Guard" have left their homes, or even walked near the forest farm.The vegetables and fruits originally supplied by the forest farm were transported by Yufei and Bearded Green instead.

Xiao Li didn't answer, just nodded his head to show he understood.He lowered his eyelashes to block his eyes from meeting Dorothy's. Although there was no emotion on his face, he looked very calm.But in fact, Yufei knew that his guide was heartbroken by his dearest relative last night.

Dorothy hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing.

So the three of them stalemate in the living room strangely, but Jane couldn't stand the atmosphere. After looking around with the Quantum Beast Davuri Jackdaw, she broke the silence and said in a cheerful tone: "Then we are still in a daze." What are you doing? Let's go after dinner!"

The three of them just woke up from a dream, and entered the restaurant to eat in silence. Ambrose had already prepared the tableware, and thoughtfully distributed the food to the bowls and bowls.

Half an hour later, the group parted at Dorothy's door.

"Baby, the car is yours. I won't take you to the hospital today." Yufei leaned on the door frame like a wife who sent her husband out, watching Xiao Li take Dorothy, Jane and Ambrose to the town Inside the long "gifted" police car. "Be careful on the road."

After the police car drove Xiao Li and waited for the group to go far away, Yu Fei walked slowly to the garage, drove out the RV that had been idle for a while, and prepared to go to Lily's house to find the bearded Green and return to Crispy Berry City together.

He was ready to face danger again, and this time, Crispberry City was going to be more... dangerous than the last time.

Twenty or ten minutes later, what Xiao Li and others came to the town hospital saw was different from the previous three days.

The quiet hospital is like a tall pale tomb, immersed in the morning sun.Not a sound.The annoying, frightening and disgusting coughing, crying, and painful moaning that were still ringing in the house not long ago have all disappeared.It was eerily quiet, as if an old radio had finally been overwhelmed and shut down.

At the same time, for some reason, the smell of disinfectant in the hospital was stronger and more irritating than yesterday.Xiao Li swears that this is by no means an illusion.After all, my nasal cavity and respiratory tract have long been "tamed" and used to the irritating smell in the hospital, but suddenly, the smell became strong and fierce again, and my body clamored to repel it, which was unbearable...

The strong smell of disinfectant made Ambrose, who was a sentinel, unable to approach the hospital at all, so he had to park a car a little further away, and Xiao Li and the other three walked there.

Something must have happened here...

A bad premonition flashed like a cloud in everyone's heart.Xiao Li was the first to come back to his senses, and he hurriedly ran towards the hospital, and the ominous premonition became more and more clear.In a blink of an eye, he came to the door, but what he saw was blue, opaque curtains.

Everything in the hospital is covered behind curtains.

Xiao Li quickly took out the hospital key, and quickly opened the hospital door after a "ding dong".

In the clean and bright hospital hall, lying in the center are the cold corpses of old doctors, nurses and nurses who committed suicide with guns!

There is a piece of letter paper under everyone's feet, which is covered with densely packed ants-sized handwriting, which is the last words these suicides left to their loved ones and the world.

"doctor?"

Xiao Li's hand softened, and the key fell to the ground.With an unbelievable mood, he walked towards the row of cold corpses lying in a pool of blood...

And the "murderer" who caused the deaths of the doctors - the old doctor held the pistol tightly in his hand and stuffed it in his mouth.After the bullet passed through his head, it brought a large pool of blood, and overflowed into a grand and gorgeous red flower under the doctor's gray-haired head.

It's all true!Xiao Li pinched himself suddenly, and there were unbelievable screams from Little Jane and Dorothy behind him.This is not a dream!Not a nightmare!It happened for real!

The doctors... killed themselves!

Shaking his hands, Xiao Li bent down to pick up the handwritten letter that was under the doctor's feet.The first sentence that catches the eye is a piercing question: "Are we guilty of doing all this?"

Then there are a few simple sentences describing what happened here last night, and why I did it.On the letterhead, the old doctor used blue-black ink to describe what happened in the hospital last night as objectively as possible from the perspective of God.The rest of the page records his various observations on "super flu" patients and his autopsy findings on different stages of the virus.

He recorded in the letter that the "super flu" virus will dissolve the internal organs and skin of the human body to varying degrees at various stages.The initial symptoms lasted up to 2 days. The patient had persistent high fever, runny nose and mouth, and vomiting, which resembled the symptoms of "common flu".Symptoms last for up to 3 hours in the middle stage. During this process, the patient’s skin will peel off, like a layer of fragile wallpaper, and the whole body will bleed. The fastest is 10 minutes, and the slowest will not exceed three hours. The middle stage will develop into the late stage—— That is, unstoppable death.

After the death of the patient, the old doctor found that most of the organs had been dissolved or swallowed by the "virus" and turned into something like cotton wool.

"This is a demon we cannot defeat! Its spread is more widespread than we imagined before. Forgive me, I can't find any suitable adjectives to describe it." The old doctor must have been very scared at the time, with lines in his handwriting Shaking, drawing an abrupt trace, lingering on the paper like a poisonous snake.Then he didn't give any respite, and in the next sentence, he threw a blockbuster: "In fact, before the 'super flu' broke out, the whole town was infected with the virus! We are all polluted! Just in the old The day John died..."

Old John and his wife are the first pair of zombies to appear in the ecological town!Xiao Li instantly felt his scalp go numb, as if the "poisonous snake" in the letter had really come to life, it opened its fangs and jumped out of the paper!

"Old John's dead body, the mucus left by the zombies... those secretions, those turbid blood... are the culprits who infected us. The virus gushes out together with their body fluids and secretions..."

In a simple sentence - the "super flu" virus can actually spread through the air!

The extremely strong vitality gives them the power to destroy the "host" unscrupulously (generally speaking, this is not in line with the practice of viruses, destroying the "host" is tantamount to courting death. But after killing the "host", they can also make The "host" came back from the dead and continued to be used by them.); With the power of the patients' secretions and bodily fluids overflowing (here I have to mention the HIV virus, which is very fragile compared to the "super flu" virus, Because it will perish completely within a few minutes after being exposed to the air, but the danger remains the same).

The "super flu" virus is cunning and fickle. After entering the human body, it quickly captures all organs and cells.Insert the flag of their territory inside the human body, and then "settle down and give birth to children".

And those amplified "newborn" viruses that have nowhere to settle down are discharged in the air along with the patient's "pain" (such as those snot-like yellow-green mucus, sweat, blood, vomit, etc.). Find the next host.

In other words, those townspeople who watched the first batch of "zombies" have already been invaded by the virus! (Don't forget the vomit at the scene at that time!) But no one knows when those viruses will attack, and when they will suddenly start to make trouble in the body.

However, this also explains why those two poor town policemen suddenly died of fever!It explained why the patients in the hospital were suddenly infected with the "super flu"!

Xiao Li's heart beat like a beating drum, his ears buzzed, and the place where the "evolution plan" had been injected felt faintly hot and painful.He couldn't help wondering: "Is the virus found in 'super flu' the same virus that my father found?"

In biology, there is no 1% sure thing, everything is so complicated, everything is inextricably linked, every time you think you understand something, peel off a layer of obstacles, only to find that there is a deeper layer of complexity underneath Structure... This emerging virus is like a bat flying across the sky at night. You think you see it flapping its wings and flying across the field of vision, but in fact it has long since disappeared. (*[-] "Blood Plague")

At this time, Xiao Li couldn't help but have a thoughtful thought. If the virus has buried a strain in everyone's body, does this mean that even if he is not bitten by a zombie, he does not suffer from the "super flu"? "Sick people will also turn into zombies after death?

At the end of the letter, the old doctor expressed his gratitude to Xiao Li who was willing to stay in the hospital to "work".He called him a respectable, courageous man.

Xiao Li settled down, glanced at ten lines, and quickly read the content on the three thin letterheads.Then silently handed over the letter to Jane and Dorothy behind them.

"The doctor...has treated all the patients here." Xiao Li took a deep breath, "He put an excessive amount of deadly substance in each patient's medicine bottle."

Dorothy and Little Jane exclaimed when they heard this, "Why did he do this?"

Xiao Li didn't answer, he felt the despair of the old doctor's decision to shoot himself.Everyone, everyone in the town, who appears to be healthy on the surface, is secretly condemned to death.The old doctor couldn't accept such a fate, but at the same time, he held a sliver of hope contradictoryly, and left these letters.

Don't forget, the "death sentence" is not necessarily executed immediately. The "super flu" has given them (the people who are still alive and kicking) a "death sentence". Maybe they can still be saved, as long as... can last until the vaccine is produced , can last to the capital or Atlanta.

As my father once said to himself, the truth is often "cruel".

Dorothy covered her mouth, the tear glands could not be controlled, and crystal tears overflowed.

Just last night, after the old doctor dealt with the painful townspeople lingering on the hospital beds, he and the nurses and nurses transported the corpses to the back of the hospital, where the "guards" had dug earlier. Incineration, and at the same time, all items that the patients have come into contact with (such as quilts).

After doing all this, the old doctors, nurses and nurses could not ignore the fact that they committed murder, and at the same time felt pessimistic and afraid of the status quo and the future.So in this hospital, in the cold hall, one after another, they killed themselves with a pistol.

At this time, Dorothy, who hadn't "go out" for a long time, noticed that the nurses and nurses lying on the ground were all "lonely old people" in the ecological town just like him.They have no partners, no children and grandchildren by their side.A person lives alone in the town. In the peaceful days, he used to be busy to get rid of loneliness.

Are we guilty of doing all this?

Xiao Li controlled himself not to think about this question, but he couldn't control himself, and couldn't help thinking that if he didn't leave Yu Fei last night but stayed here...

Xiao Li is sure that he will never become the old doctor's accomplice, but what he is not sure is, if he stays here, will he "stand by and watch" everything happen, or try his best to stop it.

In any case, it had happened, and it might have been an hour or two, or five or six, from now on.

So after "sacrificing" the patients in the entire hospital, can it really stop the "super flu" from continuing to attack the townspeople of the ecological town?

Standing silently in the hospital, Xiao Li and his group have not yet figured out how to deal with the corpses of the doctors, nurses and nurses.Ambrose, who was squatting outside the door, resisted the attack of the pungent disinfectant!Rushed into the hospital!

"Zombies... many, many zombies, surrounded, surrounded!"

The thick fur on Quantum Beast's mantle stood on end, grinning and glaring at the outside of the hospital.Through the glass windows, it can be seen that there are dense and innumerable black spots approaching in the distance!

The zombie frenzy broke out at this moment!

Xiao Li's scalp tingled immediately, and his first reaction was Yu Fei's safety!

"Go! We have to go back!" Ambrose grabbed Dorothy with one hand and Jane with the other, rushing out anxiously, "Don't be dazed!"

"I have to go to Forest Farm to find Yuffie! He and Beard Green may have patrolled over there by now!"

"That's too late!"

The speed of the zombies was astonishingly fast, and they approached the hospital in a blink of an eye. They looked hideous, the skin tissue on their bodies fell off like debris, and their white eyes scanned the surroundings to detect living things.

Little Jane couldn't help but interjected: "Let's go, Xiao Li! We must go back to a safe place now! You can't find Yufei in the forest farm... because, because... because he and Green went, went Went to Crispy Berry City to find supplies!"

"He...why didn't he tell me?" Xiao Li's eyes widened. Taking advantage of his daze, Xiao Jane broke free from Ambrose's grip, grabbed Xiao Li, and ran out first.

[The author has something to say: "Blood Plague" is a beautiful book! The late symptoms of "super flu" apply some of the symptoms of Ebola virus~]
