Age of Behemoths

Qin Jixun's voice became hoarse, Shen Yifei opened a bottle of mineral water, gently supported his head, and fed him half a bottle.

As a result, just as Shen Yifei put Qin Jixun's head back in place, the crisp noodles suddenly rushed over and bit Shen Yifei's finger. Although the bite didn't break the skin, it was still painful enough.Shen Yifei just said "Ouch", and before he had time to find trouble with the crispy noodles, the fat paper red fur ball red panda had already run to Teddy with its big tail upright, and plunged into the thick and thick dough under Teddy's creaking nest. In the fur of the bear, it does not move.

"It won't suffocate itself, will it?" Qin Jixun couldn't help asking, looking at the sleeping position of Gan Crispy Mian.This fur ball only has two hind legs and a big tail that are still exposed, and it is spread flat, so that both humans are afraid of it - just like a carpet that has been flattened by a bear.

"Should... no?" Shen Yifei answered uncertainly, and he was also terrified for the crispy noodles. After all, there is the difference in size and weight between the crispy noodles and Teddy.

The crispy noodles are at most a hundred catties, Teddy... Shen Yifei feels that he has a ton to say.Teddy turned over, and the crispy noodles really became a carpet.But Teddy obviously seemed to have fallen asleep, and when Shen Yifei stood up and was about to drag out the crispy noodles, Teddy moved a bit!He didn't press the little panda into meatloaf, but used its huge bear paw to gently push the crispy noodles under his palm, and then gently held it together.

"A very gentle big guy." Weak and strong, that scene is almost touching.

"Yes." Shen Yifei, who had already stood up and asked to save "Mian"'s life, sat back and agreed with a little pride.But seeing those two guys fell asleep, Shen Yifei realized that it should be getting late, "Qin Jixun, you should rest first today. I will continue to listen to you tomorrow."

Shen Yifei didn't want to affect the rest of a seriously ill patient, especially if the patient was still his beloved.

But Qin Jixun shook his head: "Now you let me rest, I can't sleep, I hope I can continue to tell you all those things."

His voice was as calm as ever, even when he was most excited, his tone rarely had obvious ups and downs. He was overly calm, but contradictory, making people feel gentle and pleasant.

At this moment, Shen Yifei realized that while he longed for the same kind, Qin Jixun, who was surviving alone with a small thorn, also had the same feelings as him, and they were equally excited and excited.Moreover, what Qin Jixun has experienced is likely to have been experienced by everyone except Shen Yifei, a human being.At that time, no one had time to confide in others. Shen Yifei really needed to know what happened outside as soon as possible. At the same time, Qin Jixun also hoped to take this opportunity to confide in another person.

"Fortunately, there are armed police patrolling. They are the initial line of defense and provided protection for people in the first place. Then the troops from various military regions were dispatched urgently. The plants grew crazily, and all kinds of bugs flew everywhere. Soon only the police, the armed police and the army were left, and no one dared to go outside..."

"At night, huge searchlights are turned on, and some sonar, light waves, and other weapons that were originally used to kill insects also appeared. When you watch it from a close distance, it is really spectacular." Qin Jixun laughed at himself. say.

"Close range?"

"Yes, I was trapped in the fast food restaurant with many other people. The big intersection outside the fast food restaurant is also the main battlefield."

Shen Yifei frowned, even though he saw Qin Jixun lying here now, he was still worried about him who was facing the doomsday scene for the first time.

——The fast food restaurant is at a big intersection. It is not a crossroad, but there are eight different directions to come and go. It takes four to five minutes for each red light to change.People passing that intersection for the first time may not know which direction to go.The area there is also very wide. When there is no car, it looks like a small square. This open terrain becomes a main battlefield for both sides... One can imagine how fierce the fight between the two sides will be.

But Qin Jixun didn't say some words. He didn't just witness everything.After the riot broke out, he also organized the store staff and some refugees who were relatively stable in spirit. On the one hand, he asked everyone to take care of more refugees and wounded, and on the other hand, he also provided thousands of food for the soldiers fighting outside. and drinking water.

"I saw the spectacular scene of bugs falling to the ground. At that time, all the people in the store were cheering, regardless of gender or age, all people were hugging other people. At that time, we all thought that even though the difficulties were not over, but the victory There must be no problem."

"But... at night, around ten o'clock, a beast that was as big as crispy noodles and looked like a mouse began to run out of the sewer. But these are still within the range that can be dealt with... the mice And the blood of the victims dyed all the green plants red."

Qin Jixun's voice was a little hoarse, he paused for a moment, Shen Yifei handed over the mineral water again, but Qin Jixun waved his hand and refused.It's not because of his dry throat, it's because... After closing his eyes, Qin Jixun calmed down.

"However, the insects also attacked and devoured the rats, and the rats attacked the insects in turn, so soon the army changed its fighting style and drove the rats towards the swarm. It was to our advantage to let them kill each other. By the fourth day, the insects and mice seemed to be much less, but the whole city was covered in plants, and the weather became humid and hot-almost the same as now. And this time, some other mutations occurred... "

"Human mutations like you and me?" Shen Yifei asked subconsciously.

"You guessed it right, it's a mutation like you and me..." Qin Jixun nodded with a complicated expression, but shook his head again, "But it's not all right, because it's actually not our mutation, but a parasite. variation."

"Parasite?"

"Some people started to have a fever accompanied by severe headaches. After about ten minutes, a very small number of people with headaches fell into a coma. Most of them became frozen-eyed and hard-faced, just like the kind of people born with dementia. After four or 10 minutes, the comatose people still did not wake up, and the demented people began to become agitated and frantic, and some even began to attack and bite other people, and anyone who was bitten by them would also suffer from the same disease. illness." Qin Jixun looked at Shen Yifei's face, and said with a wry smile, "Whoever bites, the person who is bitten will be infected, does that sound familiar?"

"It can't be... the one I thought, right?" Shen Yifei asked uncertainly.

"That's right, I think what you're thinking of is what I'm going to say - zombies, or rather, these 'disease' people are very similar to zombies in behavior and nature. They hunt, bite, infect, and they They are all dead. The difference is that zombies are completely dead, and they can always wait for them to rot. But what happened to those people allowed their bodies to continue to survive."

Qin Jixun raised his hand and tapped his temple: "Those bugs entered the human brain and fed on the brain. While growing rapidly, they also took over control of the body bit by bit. So, those bugs The 'people' are still alive, but they have been replaced by a bug's brain. We call these people bug corpses."

"But when the parasites first spread in the city, no one thought they were such dangerous things, they just thought they were some kind of rabies-like disease. No one thought that those insect corpses were already dead. After all, they have body temperature , There is a heartbeat, and the blood that comes out of the stab wound is not the dark red viscous liquid of the dead, but bright red."

These memories made Qin Jixun's eyes painful: "The army only used tear gas and hypnosis gas because they thought they were facing civilians. It was not until TV and radio that there was definite news. : Those are not living people. If dementia symptoms begin to appear after more than ten minutes of being infected, the patient is already brain dead. But this announcement is already too late—these corpses... only move within a few hours after they completely take over the body Slowly and distorted, as the brain bugs control the corpses longer and longer, those bug corpses will become more flexible and stronger."

A chill seemed to rush up the spine. Shen Yifei had watched a lot of zombie movies, which means that these insect corpses belong to the kind of zombies that have evolved to move fast!

"These bugs don't pretend to be people, do they?"

"That's "Starship Fleet"." Qin Jixun also said a cold joke, "No, this should be regarded as the only lucky thing. No matter how it changes, they are also carnivorous insects. It's just a layer of human skin. They can't speak, and they don't have any feelings for humans. They also have serious differences in appearance from humans, the most obvious and common one being their eyelids." Qin Jixun pointed his finger at his eyelids to demonstrate to Shen Yifei, "Insects The outer eyelids of the corpses will gradually harden and turn into a darker brown shell, like a layer of dark eye shadow, and their eyes will gradually become prominent and can rotate 360 ​​degrees in the eye sockets."

It is a good thing to be able to recognize it, although it did not give Shen Yifei any sense of security. At the same time, he now wants to know the condition of another type of patients: "So, what about those comatose people?" , very similar to the day he fell asleep—so, there was a bug in his brain too?

"Those people will fall into a coma for two days..." Qin Jixun glanced at Shen Yifei, "Except for you, the person I know who has been in a coma for the longest time only wakes up after six weeks. All these patients, After they wake up, they will have all kinds of abilities far beyond humans."
