A Doctor's Zombie Feeding Diary

This is the first time I saw him asleep.Every morning when I entered the observation room, he seemed to have been awake for a long time. He would not close his eyes to rest throughout the day, and he would fall asleep very late at night—sometimes he would not even sleep.I remember that one night a few days ago, he had been walking intermittently in the isolation room. I was half asleep and half awake listening to his footsteps, as if he was walking in a forest full of grass and wet mud. Reasons also have no purpose.

Finally, I walked out of the isolation room with two lunch boxes as I had come here, one was empty and the other was untouched.I walked to the dining area and handed both lunch boxes to the cleaning staff, then went to the rooftop to meet Carrie Miville.

"What has been delayed for so long? They have a small meeting, so you shouldn't have to go?" Jiali Miweier leaned on the guardrail of the roof and yawned rarely when he saw me coming.

"It's nothing serious, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long." I shook my head, "It's you, haven't you slept for a few days?"

"Do I look haggard?" he asked.

"The eyes can't be said to be swollen like a frog, they are probably red like a rabbit." I exaggerated a little, but his eyes were indeed covered with bloodshot eyes, which was not easy to see during the day, but became more obvious at night.

"I don't have a few days to rest. I just came back from the capital this time, and I have to leave tomorrow morning." Jiali Miweier stretched out his hand and rubbed the inner corners of his eyes a few times, concealing the tiredness on his face A little bit, "Recently, the situation in the border cities has become much worse. It may be autumn. Maybe even the infected people have become very irritable. Their actions are becoming more and more agile, and most of them have begun to learn to actively attack us. , instead of hiding in the building to avoid our search as before."

He straightened his body and his expression became serious, "Speaking of which, this is what I want to find out from you this time." He turned sideways and changed to a more comfortable standing position, folded his arms in front of his chest, and asked Said: "You are an expert in the study of HLM virus infection. Although you are not the only authority in the industry, you are still the youngest one, but you are probably the only one who can answer these questions."

"You said."

"These vicious virus-infected people, can they think?" Jiali Miweier frowned, clicked on the doctor after asking this sentence, and shook his head a few times, "I shouldn't ask that, I should say, did they listen? Possibility of order?"

I put away the smile on my face and asked him, "What exactly do you want to ask?"

"We've seen a lot of problems with them recently that we haven't seen before," he explained. "Their behavior is completely traceable in the past. They love the dark, they behave violently, and when they see our troops It basically turns around and runs away, occasionally there are attackers, and it seems to be only in special circumstances - like needing food and water, or we pissed them off."

"Yes."

"But in the last few months, Leo, I know it may be strange to say this, but they seem to have a collective." Carrie Miville told me seriously, "They started attacking us in groups, But... I can't explain it very clearly, but their other behaviors are the same as before, including the way of attack, so it doesn't seem to be obeying someone's order or having their own thinking ability. They are attacking ours It even kills each other in the process, and we still don't know what happened so far."

"It feels like there's something about you that attracts them?"

"It probably means this, but it doesn't seem to be quite like it." Jiali Miweier said again, "The purpose of their attacking us seems to be a simple attack, no matter whether they hurt or kill one of my team members, or whether they themselves Injured. Every time they attack us, they come up and tentatively grab a few times and then retreat immediately. The whole process probably won’t take more than 10 minutes. We can clean up some every time, but we can’t stand the large number of infections Now that the troops have withdrawn to the base closest to the other side for cultivation, I have the opportunity to come here."

I nodded, looked at the gate of the institute, thought for a while, and said, "I'll go with you tomorrow."

"Is it okay for you to leave the institute?" Jiali Miweier's tone was somewhat mocking.

"No problem, even if some people have problems, those young guys I brought up with my hand have to take care of themselves, it's still no problem." I smiled and said, "Just right, I also need to know something about Jie... Number 27 I need to know the place where you met him, the approximate time and place where he usually appears, and the guns and equipment he will use. "

"There is no problem with these. There are recorders in the army who record information about him." Jiali Miweier said, "This guy is also a loner. He has never had contact with other infected people, and he has never attacked us. , but his movements are too agile, so we sent a small team to contact him head-on after losing him a few times."

"Didn't come back?"

"He's back, he was seriously injured, he escaped." Jiali Miweier twitched his eyebrows and snorted, "Sly fellow, we don't know how much effort we have had to deal with him."

"It's good enough to let your people come back alive." I laughed.

Jiali Miweier nodded slightly, tentatively agreeing, and then seemed to suddenly think of something, and began to search in the bag he was carrying, "By the way, I have something for you."

"You said it last time, it was brought back from the border, right?" I took what he handed over, "Why didn't you give it to the people above?"

"Look first, if my premonition is correct, this thing really cannot be handed over to the superior." After Jiali Miweier finished speaking, he turned sideways and stood between me and the gate of the institute.

"No one will come here."

"It's never wrong to be careful."

His cautious appearance also made me feel serious.I opened the sealed bag in my hand and took out a small piece of test tube inside.The test tube is about as thin as a little finger, and the material is thin but strong. It contains a deep red liquid, which is faintly purple.

I adjusted the angle, observed carefully through the light from the research institute, and asked him, "Is this the blood of an infected person?"

"Yes." Jiali Miweier handed me another sealed bag, "Look at this again."

Inside the sealed bag is another test tube.I put the two test tubes together and observed, and I can't see much difference with the naked eye, but the color of the second tube of liquid is slightly more natural.

"What is this?"

Jiali Miweier moved his lips, and seemed a little difficult to speak. He hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "The blood sample of General Mecca."

I turned my head to look at him expressionlessly, silent without saying a word.

"Don't look at me like that." He sighed, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead with the palm of his hand, his expression looked tangled and mixed with disbelief, "I don't want to believe it, and I don't want to think about what happened behind this What, there is something hidden, but the research report clearly tells us that the same substance exists in the blood samples of General Mecca and the blood of those infected with the malignant HLM virus. The secret research report of our army shows that this substance is neither Viruses, not antibodies, and the riots of infected people started when General Mecca started commanding our troops. And..."

"General Bitum McGahn's official enlistment time is also the time when the HLM virus broke out completely four years ago." I took his words calmly, "Four years ago, we had never seen McGahn anywhere. There was no report from the general plus, no officer knew him, he just appeared out of nowhere. I remember when we all thought that his enlistment as a general was a back door opened by the president and the military department.”

"I don't dare to think about it any more. If it's what I guessed, then the government..." He shook his head in pain, looked at me and sighed, "You don't even know what it is." The structure is not surprising even at this time."

"I'm quite surprised now." I smiled lightly and stretched out my hand to gesture at his current expression, "It's really important to make you show this expression."

"I'm not joking with you." Jiali Miweier patted my hand away, "Our military doctor can't tell what this substance is, so I sent it to you. Remember, it must be kept secret."

I sighed secretly, put the two test tubes back into the sealed bag, folded my hands and asked: "Let me make it clear first, if the results of my research really verify your guess, then you should know what will happen, right?" ?”

"Of course I know." Jiali Miweier paused, he put his elbows on the guardrail, his hands on his forehead, and a dull voice came from between his arms, "I've already thought about what to do. "

"That's good." I nodded, "I've always had no ambitions, so I won't participate in this aspect."

He snorted, "Nonsense."
