"It's not ice?" Chen Zhong was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Impossible. I touched those...it can't be ice."

The all-steel body vibrated at this moment, as if it had hit something.

"It's okay, it's a tree, a fallen tree." The rescue team comforted Chen Zhong, "You are riding an armored vehicle with a full metal shell. As long as the road is uninterrupted, it can overwhelm all roadblocks."

Chen Zhong could only hold Xia Bing tightly, kept testing his body temperature with his hands, and remembered their scrapped RV. "Is it really that powerful?"

"Do you think the troops are just kidding around?" The man patted the body of the car, "This is a real guy! What did you just say? Did you touch the ice with your hands?"

"Well, I touched it. It's very slippery, and it's cold." Chen Zhong reached into Xia Bing's clothes to feel his heartbeat. It was beating very fast. Athletes are used to counting heart rate, which is more intermittent than usual. High-intensity training has even faster heart rates.

"It's really cold, and it's really slippery. Even we thought it was ice at first. When we opened our eyes, the whole world was covered with an ice shell." The man looked out of the car from the viewing port, and the ice didn't melt at all. Signs, "Because of this layer of ice, we lost a lot of people in the initial breakout... But have you ever thought about it, where do so many water molecules freeze in the air?"

Chen Zhong shook his head, Luo Qinghui over there seemed to be asleep and didn't make a sound.In the past few months, they fled all the way, and they didn't have enough time to sleep every day. They even washed and ate carelessly, and their lives were in their throats.There is no time to study the composition of this layer of ice, and no energy to think about water molecules.

"Wait a minute," said the rescue team.Just when a few scattered zombies approached, he raised his machine gun, put the muzzle out of the viewing port, and pulled the trigger. The machine gun vibrated, and even the car body vibrated a few times.

Chen Zhong also looked out of the car. The crisis has been resolved. It is not a crisis if there are a few zombies within the range of the rescue team's ability. Each of them is a headshot.

"Do you think we are particularly ruthless?" The rescue team withdrew their guns, "It seems that there is no compassion at all?"

Chen Zhong shook his head again. "I just don't have a gun in my hand. If there is one, I will kill it. Besides, they are already dead."

"Then why don't you let us touch this in your arms?" The team member pressed Xia Bing with the butt of his gun, "If he turns into a zombie, he is already dead."

"No!" Chen Zhong protected Xia Bing, "He won't die."

"Do you have double standards?" The team members teased him, and it was rare for him to relax, "You can't have the heart of the Virgin in our kind of work, especially when facing a crisis. When there is no accident, we are a small team, every day Similar to you, training, being scolded, standing guard, guarding, shooting targets until we don’t wear earplugs, just to hit a hit when something goes wrong.”

These words sounded completely out of tune with the current situation, and they were said out of nowhere, but Chen Zhong felt that he hadn't had a chance to chat for a long time, and he might be trying to decompress himself.Maybe when this doomsday disaster is over, every soldier who has been on the battlefield will have to receive psychological counseling.

I have accepted it myself and understand the feeling of being alone and helpless.

"Why not ice?" Chen Zhong thought about it again, "But it is exactly the same as ice."

"It's bugs." The rescue team said, "The densely packed small bugs may not be visible to the naked eye, so they must be taken under a microscope."

These words woke Luo Qinghui up, his eyes were full of puzzlement, and his empty eyes lit up for a moment, eager to figure out what was going on.

Chen Zhong shuddered, he was about to suffer from trypophobia.

"On the night of the accident, they broke out from all over the world. They first spread in the form of mist and expanded the infected area without anyone noticing. But they spread and died while spreading. The corpses of dead bugs piled up and secreted a The congealed solids are secretions, and they are all fixed. We also checked the surveillance videos in many places, only to know that there was a fog that night, but the fog disappeared quickly, and it slowly sank and solidified. "

"Dead?" The chill penetrated into the body through the pores, Chen Zhong never thought that the ice he touched was full of bugs, "Why did you die?"

Yes, since they are so powerful, why are they all dead?Then what infected the living and turned the living into zombies?

"You can't guess this, right? It's oxygen." The rescue team said again, "They are evolving. First of all, it is certain that the bugs in the fog are their first generation, and they may have been buried somewhere deep underground. come, in great numbers, and look like fog. But it is the oxygen in the air that kills them."

Chen Zhong took a quick breath of air when he heard this.

"They couldn't stand such a high concentration of oxygen, so they died very fast, and at the same time evolved very fast. When they were almost extinct, the whole population tried their best to split into a second generation overnight, which could pass through the respiratory tract. into the body of a living person."

At this time, Xia Bing in Chen Zhong's arms moved, sweating profusely, and his entire neck was covered in fine beads of sweat.Chen Zhong checked his eyes again. Fortunately, the whites of his eyes were normal.

"So that's how it is." Chen Zhong recalled that day, the zombie virus broke out in the afternoon.

"But the second generation soon discovered that living people are not suitable for them, because the oxygen content in the blood is too high. So after a morning of evolution, they finally succeeded in killing their hosts in the afternoon, and all of them became dead people. "The rescue team said, "We checked the monitoring of the whole city. Almost at the same time, a large number of citizens died suddenly. They fell down suddenly while walking on the street, driving a car, in schools, factories, office buildings, and even in the army. The oxygen in the blood disappeared, and the dead body provided them with a hotbed, but it was found that the dead did not have enough energy to support them to survive, so the third generation was born, and the real zombie infection appeared. Their first evolution took 12 hours , It took 4 hours for the second time, and only a few minutes for the third time, the dead man stood up again, and the crisis broke out.”

Chen Zhong quickly touched Xia Bing's neck, bent down, and carefully warmed Xia Bing's hand. "Has he got worms?"

"It's not just him." The rescue team said, "You, me, and him." He finally pointed to Luo Qinghui, "We all have them in our bodies. As long as they are not completely killed, they will fight back, trying to develop a high fever and visceral inflammation. Let's kill them. Oh yes, the better the body and the more oxygen in the blood, the harder they writhe and the faster they burn."

Chen Zhong hurriedly touched his face again, thinking it was a virus, but unexpectedly it was a bug.They are in their own bodies, hiding in the red blood vessels, but they can't stand the oxygen in the red blood cells, so they want to kill themselves.

"Can it be cured?" Chen Zhong recalled the wound on the rescue team's hand just now, "Your wound has healed."

"I'm not completely healed yet, but it's starting to improve, and the wound is indeed healed." The rescue team finally leaned back and said tired, "Go back for injections, medicine, oxygen, those things can't win. Rest for a while Well, there are still a few hours before we arrive at the resettlement site."

Chen Zhong didn't speak anymore, he just hugged Xia Bing quietly.His energy has also been exhausted to the extreme, so far, he only wants to keep Xia Bing, and doesn't care about the rest.Just do what you like in your body, be it bugs or viruses, they all come for you.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it was declared that Xia Bing belonged to the surviving 50.00%, but he never woke up.Chen Zhong leaned against the cold car body, using his feverish body to warm him.It was strange that these days he had fully adapted to the high degree of nervous tension, but at this time he began to feel sleepy.

It is complete relaxation, the whole person is completely relaxed, knowing that there is a rescue team and enough bullets around him, knowing that the steel plate of this armored vehicle is strong enough, and knowing that these soldiers are well-trained.Rescue came slowly not because they were incapable, but because the search range was too large.

Eyelids were heavy and sore, Chen Zhong covered Xia Bing with his coat and waited until he reached the resettlement point.

However, the journey was not completely peaceful, and there were several corpses on the way.It wasn't until dark that the rescue team's bullets were completely empty. The last time they encountered a tide of corpses, the fully enclosed armored vehicle ran over directly.

Chen Zhong looked out from the viewing port. If the caravan encountered such a large-scale wave of corpses, it would definitely be shaken, but this car was heavy enough to smash a way through the sticky wall of zombies.

Later, Chen Zhong fell asleep again, and was shaken awake at some time. "Get out of the car, we're here."

"Ah?" Chen Zhong was still dreaming. There were many bugs in the dream. He was half asleep and half awake and realized that half of his body was paralyzed. He hugged Xia Bing for too long and couldn't stand up all at once.He slowed down for a while, there was the sound of running outside the car, the rear door had been opened, and there were lights outside.

Two people came: "Put him on the stretcher, hurry up."

"I'll carry him on my back." Chen Zhong didn't dare to let go of Xia Bing, fearing that they would arrange for him to be separated from Xia Bing. There was land outside, but there was no ice. Xia Bing and his own skates took off, and the shoelaces were tied into dead buckles, hanging around his neck.

The weight of the two pairs of speed skates was heavy, pressing heavily on the back of his neck.But he had to carry them like those soldiers carried their guns.

Those two people helped him carry Xia Bing, and led him to the inner layer of the resettlement site. The further he went, the more wounded and rescuers there were.People in protective suits come to disinfect them, register, measure their body temperature, and then go inside, which is the place where they can rest.

With the help of bright lights, Chen Zhong could see clearly where this place was. There was a building in front of him with words on it, Teaching Building B.

This should be a university, and the place under his feet must be the university playground.It's just that countless simple white tents were built on the originally flat site, and the teaching building became a temporary headquarters.

There was still a helicopter flying in the sky, and the high beams of the helicopter made Chen Zhong mistakenly think that he was in some kind of movie.He looked around again, and the university wall had been rebuilt with sandbags, and there was a sentry tower every ten meters.

Outside the wall, the lights were brightly lit, and they were not afraid of attracting zombies, or attracting them deliberately.Occasionally, a few gunshots could be heard, da da da, ta da da, continuous shooting.

"This is your bed. There are not enough people now. Let's take care of each other." The medical staff said, "If you are hungry, you can go to the main service desk to get a piece of food, and take your body temperature tomorrow morning. The person who sent you here just said, are you Immune, right?"

Chen nodded. "He's hurt, in the neck."

"Let me take a look." The medical staff checked quickly, "There is a medical bag under each pillow, you can help him deal with it. Also pay attention to your own condition, if you feel that you have a fever, you should report to the main service desk immediately .”

"Thank you." Chen Zhong looked around. The tent was very clean, but there were only two bunk beds left, and the rest of the beds were all occupied.Chen Zhong guessed that these people must be vaccine survivors just like Xia Bing.

He walked to the side of the small bed, sat down slowly, then leaned back, and put Xia Bing down.The weight on his body was gone, so he put the two people's skates under the bed and squatted beside him in a daze.

Once he enters the normal and orderly society, he doesn't know how to integrate, everything is very strange.At this time, Xia Bing's hand, which was hanging by the bed, suddenly moved.

"Captain Xia?" Chen Zhong quickly grabbed him.

Xia Bing took a deep breath and opened his eyes until there was no air left in his lungs.There was still a lot of light in front of his eyes, he felt his skin was scalding, and his eyelids seemed to be burned to the point of non-existence.

Wait until he regains all vision, first seeing a hand.

This hand belonged to Chen Zhong, and there was a particularly inconspicuous linear triangle tattoo on the middle finger. He had never looked at Chen Zhong's hand carefully during the days of survival, so he ignored it.

Now this hand was covering Chen Zhong's eyes.Xia Bing raised his forearm with difficulty, grabbed the hand, and pulled it off Chen Zhong's face, revealing the wet face underneath, the crying that was suppressed between his teeth, and because he was worried that he would finally cry out. s eyes.

"Don't cry." Xia Bing smiled at Chen Chong, "Child."

The author has something to say:

Xia Bing: Don't cry.

Zhongzhong: I didn't cry! (Hold up the wet stubborn face)
