poor road [end times]
Chapter 128 Fusion
After the meeting, Shishiming took Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin to visit the newly built area of the township safety zone.
It had been two or three months since the last time they came here—just like Sancun Safe Zone, earth-shaking changes have also taken place here.
"If you come here by helicopter, you should be able to see that recently we have surrounded the entire township within the scope of the safe zone." Shi Jingming pointed to those self-built buildings, "After spring comes, our survivors will move in one after another. In the room, the underground air-raid shelter is mainly used to store food and supplies.”
Yang Yiqin asked curiously: "How many people are there in this safe zone?"
Quartz Tea replied: "About 2000 people."
"A lot more than before."
"Yes, since the food delivery incident, many people are willing to go to the safe zone. After the number of people increased, although the management was a little difficult for a while, thanks to this, the speed of expanding the safe zone in the later stage has been significantly improved. improvement."
Halfway through, Gong Qiang came over.
He greeted Yang Yiqin: "Hey, long time no see, how is your place?"
"Everything is going well so far." Yang Yiqin said with a smile, "You look a little stronger."
Hearing this, Gong Qiang laughed twice: "After all, I exercise every day. Although I do all technical work, a technical worker must have good physical fitness. Come on, praise your old classmate!"
Yang Yiqin held out his thumb.
"sharp."
Gong Qiang was immediately happy, but he suppressed the urge to touch Yang Yiqin, because the other's boyfriend was still watching quietly.
Shi Shiming glanced at the time: "I have other things to deal with, so I have to leave first and come back later. You can visit the safe zone and ask Gong Qiang if you have any questions. He is also the core figure in the safe zone now."
"Okay." Yang Yiqin nodded, "You are busy."
Feng Lin also said, "Please be busy."
"Well, I will inform you of any new news in time."
Shi Shiming hurriedly left here.
After she left, Han Wenliang gave some instructions and left in a hurry.
Gong Qiang said with a smile: "Okay, now I will take you around."
"Then I'll leave it to you." Yang Yiqin chuckled, "We want to take a closer look at the fields planted here and the defensive walls."
Gong Qiang waved his hand: "No problem, come with me."
They left the wide and busy main road, turned around and walked into the small road longitudinal to the town.Except for some shops, schools, and township hospitals on both sides of the provincial road, most of the other places are ordinary self-built houses of farmers.
Those self-built houses are the same as the farmyards in Yangcun, all with high walls and iron gates and spacious yards.
The area of a township must be much larger than that of a village.
More than [-] surviving residents lived completely, and there are still many empty courtyards, in the courtyard of every farmyard, in the open space of the alley, in the corner at the end of the street... any empty land , were all reclaimed into vegetable fields.
The vegetables planted inside are lush and green, and it can be seen that the planting is in good condition.
Seeing their gaze, Gong Qiang said proudly: "The area of vegetable fields in our safety zone is very large. Basically, as long as there is some land, it will be used by the survivors to spread rapeseed. Dangerous, the construction of the wall must be done step by step to achieve the effect, only the limited safe land can be planted with staple food and high-yield vegetables, and we must plant full of green leafy vegetables.”
Yang Yiqin nodded: "It's the same with us. Vegetables have been planted in the village's open spaces and yards."
As the temperature got warmer, the vegetable greenhouses in the safe area of their three villages gradually removed the plastic roofs above them.
Recently, most of the villagers are busy building the wall, and the elderly grandparents in the village, when they are responsible for taking care of the vegetable fields and feeding the livestock, dare not slack off for a minute, for fear that they will become a drag on others.In fact, everyone doesn't care about the results of their farming and raising livestock. After all, they are all elderly over 1 years old, and they cannot ignore their health.
However, while others are desperately building iron mesh walls, they are also extremely serious about constantly reclaiming new vegetable fields and expanding the planting area of the village.Now many empty courtyards are planted with seasonal vegetables.
Vegetables grown by villagers in their own yards belong to the villagers; vegetables grown in uninhabited yards belong to the public resources of the village.
There are only more than 100 people in their village. Judging from the scale of the vegetable field today, when all the vegetables are mature, they can meet their daily needs.
Gong Qiang took them to see the fence and watchtower after the expansion of the safety zone.
Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin looked at it very seriously, not letting go of any place worth learning, and preparing to optimize and strengthen the details of the village's defense after returning.
For example, their watchtowers are built too crudely, and they can develop in the direction of both watching and shooting.
Gong Qiang said: "Now the township safety zone has been officially renamed the Xinzhong City Safety Zone, because with the help of the Beishi base and the provincial base, neighboring cities have successfully established their own safety zones one after another. Each safety zone is only responsible for Search and rescue survivors near you, this will greatly speed up the efficiency of rescuing survivors."
Quartz tea said years ago that they hoped to establish a safe zone network to ensure that survivors in each region have a national security zone to rely on; to all over the country.
Once this regional network is formed, most of the survivors across the country will be sheltered within the safe zone.
They are never willing to give up on anyone.
The corners of Yang Yiqin's lips curled up in pleasure.
"this is a good news."
Feng Lin asked: "Does it include the safe zone established by ordinary people?"
"Except, every prefecture-level city's safety zone is established by the state." Gong Qiang continued to explain, "Like your Sancun safety zone, there are still a few safe zones established by ordinary people and recognized by the state, at least You are the only one near us."
Feng Lin nodded: "It's understandable."
Yang Yiqin smiled: "After all, there is an assessment, and the assessment process needs to be extremely cautious. If you accidentally read the face of the person in charge, you may push the survivors into the fire pit."
Gong Qiang nodded heavily: "You are right."
The tragedy of Pinghua County Middle School must never be repeated.
In fact, if the recent zombie evolution hadn't made the survivors panic, Shi Shiming, Han Wenliang and the others would have to consider defending against potentially dangerous things. They might have already started to investigate all the gathering places of ordinary people near Xinzhong City.
"By the way." Gong Qiang suddenly remembered an important matter, "Recently, when Comrade Shi sent out broadcasts, he always said that if there are survivors who are close to the safe zone of the third village of Haohe County, they can go to that safe zone by themselves. You can Pay attention, there may be survivors who take the initiative to defect to you."
"Okay." Yang Yiqin nodded, "I remember."
Gong Qiang also said: "Also pay attention to safety, don't trust the survivors who defected to you easily, an outrageous incident happened to us before."
Yang Yiqin was puzzled: "What's the matter?"
Neither he nor Feng Lin heard Han Wenliang mention it, probably because too many things have happened recently, so he can only pick important things to talk about, such as the evolution of zombies and the Beishi laboratory.
Gong Qiang shook his head helplessly: "Actually, it didn't cause much impact, because we discovered in time—a group of people drove to the safety zone by themselves. When we checked them, we found that there were only five of them in total, but three Someone was bitten by a zombie..."
Yang Yiqin frowned: "Did you get bitten on the road?"
Gong Qiang gave an affirmative answer.
Feng Lin was not surprised.
He said: "The other party probably underestimated the enemy, thinking that the zombies now are as stiff and clumsy as they were in winter, and they can dodge them with a little movement."
"You guessed right." Gong Qiang regretted, "They wanted to rush through a group of zombies, but the car windows were smashed by the zombies, and they lost a few teammates on the spot. My companion who was walking with me was also bitten. At that time, there was already a sign of zombification, and the other three had just escaped from danger, thinking that the other two were just pale from being frightened..."
If they didn't have a safe zone in time, that team would most likely be wiped out.
Yang Yiqin narrowed his eyes: "They may not have noticed, but the person who was bitten must know it well."
Just hide it and don't say it.
Gong Qiang sighed: "Maybe I thought there was zombie virus serum in the safe zone, which could save their lives, but I shouldn't hide my situation like that."
Hearing this, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin's eyes fluctuated, and they couldn't help but look at each other for a moment.
Gong Qiang noticed their movements and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Yiqin asked back: "Is there any virus serum here?"
"Not now."
"Now? So, there will be in the future."
"That's right, Comrade Shi said that he can tell you two." Gong Qiang explained in a low voice, "You two came back from Beishi, you should know that the researchers there have developed the serum of the zombie virus, but it is temporarily impossible to realize the quantity Production. They told the news to the provincial base, asking each safe zone to protect the survivors everywhere, and waiting for them to provide each safe zone with a certain amount of serum."
Yang Yiqin was surprised: "When will it be delivered?"
Gong Qiang shook his head: "I don't know about this. You can ask Comrade Shi. She can finish her work in about half an hour. However, I heard that the Beishi base was attacked by zombie waves. There were few casualties underneath, but they are probably busy now with widening and strengthening the wall."
"Okay." Yang Yiqin said, "I'll ask Comrade Shi later."
The three of them circled the safety zone, and after making a rough turn, they returned to the provincial road where the helicopter was parked.
Quartz tea hurried over.
Yang Yiqin asked politely, "Is Comrade Shi finished?"
"It's almost there." Shi Jingming smiled, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for me for so long."
Yang Yiqin shook his head: "It's okay, Feng Lin and I came too hastily."
Today, all safe zones are busy defending against evolutionary zombies, and the bigger the safe zone, the more difficult it is to manage.They only got in touch with Han Wenliang in the morning. Quartz Tea must have already decided on today's mission, so they can only take time to communicate with them.
Quartz Tea: "Thank you for your understanding."
Yang Yiqin: "You are too polite."
Gong Qiang on the side said: "By the way, Comrade Shi, I just told the two of them about the serum of the zombie virus—"
Quartz Tea showed a clear expression.
She said to Gong Qiang: "You go to work first, I will continue to chat with them."
Gong Qiang nodded, turned and left here.
Watching him go away, Shi Shiming looked at Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin again, and asked earnestly, "Do you have virus serum on your body?"
Although it was a question on the surface, the tone was extremely firm.
Hearing this, Yang Yiqin didn't hide anything.
"Indeed."
Shi Shiming asked again: "How many are left now?"
Yang Yiqin replied: "There are three left."
"It's really not many." Shi Ming said, "But as long as you pay more attention, there shouldn't be a large number of people being bitten. Before that, I suggest that you conduct a full-body test on the people who enter and leave the village."
"Thank you, Comrade Shi, for your reminder." Yang Yiqin said with a smile, "However, most of the villagers in our safe zone only move around within the fence, and the size of the now enclosed safe zone is enough for our people to be self-sufficient."
Feng Lin added: "The usual patrol work is basically done on the roof."
Hearing this, Shi Shiming was a little relieved: "The situation in each safe zone is different. For a small safe zone like yours, as long as you can solve the problem of self-sufficiency within the walls, you can minimize the crisis."
Yang Yiqin blinked slowly, with a smile in his eyes.
"I think so."
Many houses, vast land, and few people are both their advantages and disadvantages.
The biggest advantage is that as long as the zombies cannot break through their walls, they can survive in the safe zone for a lifetime.
"Let's talk about the serum of the zombie virus." Shi Jingming thought for a while and told them, "Now that the researchers have iterated the serum, the serum you got in your hands should be less effective than the serum recently produced by the laboratory. .”
Yang Yiqin nodded: "I can guess."
Feng Lin echoed: "After all, it's been a few months."
When they left the Beishi base, the laboratory had just researched the serum of the zombie virus, and there were only a dozen finished products in total, and they were all the products of the initial experiments.Now that several months have passed, with the efforts of the laboratory researchers, the zombie virus serum must have undergone an upgrade, and the effect is better than the three serums they got.
Moreover, Yang Yiqin still clearly remembered that they had many conversations with Dr. Liang about the serum.
At that time, Dr. Liang admitted that their ultimate goal was not a serum that only had a [-]% healing effect and could only be used after being bitten.Their goal is a zombie virus vaccine -- a vaccine that can be injected before being bitten and has a preventive effect.
The serum is just an emergency, a temporary measure for the moment.
Sure enough, Shi Shiming said: "All in all, they will try their best to make zombie virus serum as quickly as possible to ensure that emergency serum can be distributed to every safe zone. Because it is only for emergency, it is impossible to make one zombie virus serum per person. For virus serum, researchers should focus on new research."
"If a vaccine that can be injected before being bitten is developed, all the survivors at the Beishi base will be summoned immediately to carry out large-scale vaccine production. By then, we will each receive a shot of the vaccine."
Feng Lin asked: "Have you fixed the time for delivering the emergency serum?"
"It will take about half a month." Shishiming replied, "The exact date has not been determined yet, it depends on the speed of the laboratory's production of serum. They plan to use the whole base to produce serum. However, ordinary people have no experience and it is difficult to get started. , not everyone is suitable for learning how to make a serum."
The eyes of Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin met.
The Beishi base will definitely reach this point in the end. After all, it is impossible to produce large quantities of serum only with the ability of scientific researchers. Sooner or later, the help of survivors will be needed.In order to avoid mistakes, the laboratory should simplify the production process and divide it into several steps. Each person is responsible for a part of it, and someone supervises the whole process of production.
Quartz tea said warmly: "If the vaccine is received here, we will give you some of it."
"Thank you, Comrade Shi, but we only need one or two powerful serums." Yang Yiqin continued, "Because from the past two days, the village has forbidden everyone to go out at will, unless zombies come into the village and bite the villagers, otherwise the infection will be serious." The risk is low."
Hearing this, Shishiming said with emotion——
"You did a great job."
"Thanks to the efforts of the whole village."
"By the way, there is one last thing." Shi Shiming said, "In the winter, we delivered a batch of supplies to you, and we promised that when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, we will send you the next year's food with a convoy. .Now that the zombies have evolved, the convoy may not be able to shuttle freely if it drags on, so we decided to deliver food to you recently."
"Okay." Yang Yiqin nodded, "We will help."
At noon that day, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin returned to the village.
They told the village head, Father Yang and others exactly what they had learned from Shishiming.
"...Didn't see the limit evolution?" Liu Wen's cigarette lighting hand trembled slightly, "What do you mean, can you evolve even more powerful monsters?"
Yang Yiqin said calmly: "This possibility is not ruled out."
"No." Uncle Zhang slapped the table and stood up, "From today on, no matter who wants to leave the village, we will not allow it!"
The village head looked serious: "I think so, even people as powerful as Xiao Yang and Xiao Feng, don't just go outside the defense line, lest they be attacked by zombies coming out of nowhere."
"How do I tell other villagers the news?" Yang Yiqin asked, "Answer truthfully?"
The crowd fell silent.
Feng Lin said seriously: "It's better to tell the truth. Although it may cause panic, panic is better than self-esteem."
Yang Yiqin nodded in agreement.
Several elders, you look at me, I look at you, a little uncertain for a while.
Father Yang was silent for a while, then said, "I understand."
The village chief asked, "What do you understand?"
Father Yang replied, "Let's plant potatoes first."
village head:"……"
"Potatoes must be planted." Regarding this matter, Yang Yiqin had long been hesitant, "Ask who still has potatoes at home, and exchange them for the common resources of the village, and then germinate, sow, and fertilize."
Father Yang went on to say: "And before planting potatoes, tell everyone about the evolution of zombies."
Zhang Bo sighed softly, "That's the only way."
Not daring to waste time, they immediately went to ask other villagers.
Yang Yiqin was a little worried at first, fearing that everyone would not have any potatoes to store food in their hands, but he did not expect that they would get enough potatoes to fill the open space in exchange for one afternoon.Several families have grown potatoes in their greenhouses since last year, and the yield of the mutated potatoes has been quite high.
This made him feel that the villagers' habit of planting and hoarding food and vegetables is really beneficial and harmless.
Next, everyone immediately started planting work.
The North China Plain belongs to the Central Plains. Potatoes can be planted in March and matured in three or four months.Calculating the time, they were able to fertilize the fields for two months after the harvest, and then start planting corn.
The villagers worked together to spread out all the potatoes at the entrance of the temple and use conventional methods to sprout them.When the potatoes germinated one by one, they cut off the bud eyes, sprinkled plant ash on the cut surface of the potatoes to prevent them from rotting, and then they could directly bury the tubers in the soil for planting.
They know that the reason for planting potatoes on a large scale is to minimize the possibility of them leaving the safe zone.
Even if you have the grain in the granary, you can't give up farming.
When the villagers were busy planting potatoes, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin frequently traveled between the safety zone and the village to help Han Wenliang's convoy survey the terrain and eliminate possible dangers along the route.
After careful exploration, the convoy finally set off.
A large number of trucks, carrying tons of grain, drove towards the Sancun safe zone.
Feng Lin drove the helicopter to open the way ahead, and Yang Yiqin sat in the co-pilot's seat, always paying attention to the nearby zombies and mutant animals.
Spring is coming, only in the middle of March, lush weeds grow in the endless fields, criss-crossing continuously.Weeds are growing vigorously, gradually covering the corn and corn stalks that have been damaged by freezing before they can be harvested in the future. The well-organized farmland has become a messy paradise for insects and rats.
Even so, it seems to be another kind of vitality and greenery.
In the process of transporting food, only two small groups of zombies were disturbed. Yang Yiqin and the others did not feel sorry for the bullets, and shot them to death one by one.
Three hours later, they finally arrived at their destination.
Father Yang, Zhang Bo and others met in front of the iron gate close to the provincial road.
When the entire convoy was close to the intersection, they would open the first iron gate of the village and let the convoy enter the range of the barbed wire fence.Father Yang commanded the convoy to go inside. After Zhang Bo and Liu Wen broke off, the moment the last truck entered the gate, he immediately locked the gate.
Afterwards, the convoy passed through a concrete road and entered the iron gate at the entrance of the village. At this time, the village chief opened the second iron gate.
It is true that their approach is a bit overly cautious, but in the end times that are full of dangers, no matter how cautious they are, it is nothing more than that.There are more than 100 villagers who trust them in the village. Even if there is only a one-thousandth possibility, they must not put everyone in danger.
Han Wenliang very much agrees with their approach.
Following Father Yang's guidance, they entered the street of Qiancun step by step.
The truck was too big and could only be parked on the most spacious main road in the village. As soon as they stopped, dozens of villagers gathered together to help carry the goods on the truck.
Feng Lin and Yang Yiqin drove the helicopter and landed on the roof of a certain house.
The two jumped off the roof and joined the movement of supplies.
Han Wenliang and his party also jumped out of the car.
With everyone's help, one big bag after another of grain was quickly unloaded from the truck and temporarily piled up along the street on the side of the village's main road.
Han Wenliang didn't dare to waste too much time, fearing that new dangers would appear on the route when he came.He found Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin, and quickly ordered: "This batch of supplies includes the share of the survivors living alone near you, please distribute the food to them."
"No problem." Yang Yiqin asked, "Are you leaving now?"
Han Wen nodded: "Let's go now. Driving is not like flying a helicopter. If it is delayed, the road conditions may change."
Feng Lin had a calm demeanor.
"Let's explore the way first."
"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." Han Wenliang said, "Let's go back the way we came."
Feng Lin and Yang Yiqin checked the road conditions as quickly as possible.
After confirming that there was no danger, they drove the helicopter to open the way ahead according to the formation when they came, and guided Han Wenliang's convoy to advance safely.
It only took more than two hours to go back. After bidding farewell to Han Wenliang, he returned to the village.
As the season changes to spring, the sun sets later and later,
They set off at dawn, and then worked all day, only having time to drink water and take two quick bites of bread.On the return trip at this time, the sky still hadn't completely subsided, and the setting sun in the west dyed most of the sky red, making the fields covered with weeds even more barren.
Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin chatted about various things that happened today, and the helicopter flew towards the village at a normal speed.
Generally speaking, they only need half an hour to reach the village, but Yang Yiqin's vigilance remained undiminished, and he decided to inspect the nearby anomalies before it was completely dark.
The convoy's way back and forth has been determined to be safe, and Feng Lin specially flies the helicopter along another path.
This path is not a provincial road, it is located between the vast fields, the narrowest place can only pass through a private car.Most of the time, the villagers in the villages along the line ride bicycles or tricycles to and from the path.
The main function of the path is to facilitate farmers to take care of the farmland, and by the way, it can also connect villages separated by tens of miles.
Although the road is narrow and often turns around, it can lead to the safe area of Sancun where they are located - and it leads to the moving line of Yangcun's main road.
The reason why they judged that the zombies are most likely to go to the village along the provincial road instead of going to the village through a small road is because the provincial road is wide and has no obstacles, while the small road is winding and potholed.According to the IQ and stiffness of the zombies, if they are not careful, they will roll to the bottom of the field, and then they will not be able to get up.
Last year, rolling fields were filled with man-high corn, all but where survivors lived, left untended until winds and snowstorms crushed them.
But that is just crushing rather than clearing. The snow is difficult to walk on, and there are entangled corn stalks under the snow layer. Humans still find it difficult to walk, let alone those zombies.Later, the ice melted and the snow melted, revealing the withered yellow corn stalks covered below, which became the nemesis of humans and zombies—creating an environment where it was impossible to run fast.
Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin often fly in the fields. They have seen countless zombies whose legs and feet were entangled by corn stalks and "helplessly" waving their arms in the vast fields.
Things are very different now.
The more he understood that the zombies were evolving, the more vigilant Yang Yiqin became. He even began to worry about whether the zombies could cross the obstacles of the vast fields.
After all, humans may be unable to move because of sprained feet, but zombies don't feel pain and just keep moving forward.
Yang Yiqin observed the situation below by the red light of the setting sun.
"Weeds are coming through the gaps in the corn stalks that are degrading to feed them, and I've seen snakes and rats wriggling in the gaps. The fields still look difficult to walk on - at least for humans Come on."
"It seems that there are zombies." Feng Lin narrowed his eyes, trying to land on the moving shadow not far away, "It looks like there are three of them."
Yang Yiqin turned his gaze to the direction Feng Lin was looking at.
There were indeed three zombies walking aimlessly there. At this moment, they all turned around and looked in the direction of the helicopter.They were excited by the roar of the propellers, and yellow-black saliva could not help but flow from the corners of their mouths.
Feng Lin slowed down the speed of the helicopter's flight.
Immediately, Yang Yiqin took out his bow and arrow, put the arrow on the bow, and killed them one by one.
Now as long as they saw zombies, no matter whether they were able-bodied or paralyzed, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin would definitely kill them all as long as they had time and opportunity.
After all, if the scourge is left behind, it is unknown what it will evolve into in the future.
After killing the zombies, Yang Yiqin didn't put away his bow and arrow, but turned to look in other directions, looking for any zombies left alone.
Flying along the path, at intervals, you can see small uninhabited villages.These villages have been desolate since last year. The walls of the self-built houses have long been covered with vines, the bricks on the walls are cracked, and the wall skin and cement dust are peeling off layer by layer. It is extremely desolate and desolate.
Previously, when Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin were searching for survivors, they killed most of the zombies wandering in these villages.
But there are still many hiding in the house and "surviving" with the help of the blind corner of sight.
Along the way, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin cooperated tacitly.
Once there are zombies wandering around, Feng Lin will immediately slow down his flying speed so that Yang Yiqin can shoot the zombies with his bow.After killing them, Feng Lin speeded up and flew in the direction of the village.
"call out!"
A piercing arrow flew out, and another zombie was shot to death.
Yang Yiqin moved his feverish wrist, and said with a smile: "If we kill all the zombies along the way, we can at least rest assured for a while, and don't have to worry about zombies coming from this direction."
"Then let's stay a little longer." Just after finishing speaking, Feng Lin suddenly changed the subject, "Qinqin, there is another one in front."
Yang Yiqin subconsciously raised his bow and arrow, pointing to the south.
However, the next moment, he was stunned.
Feng Lin was also stunned for a moment.
The sun was setting, and the sky was darker than before, so Feng Lin only saw a shambling figure at first, and then immediately reminded Yang Yiqin.
But at this moment, the helicopter's strong light took a picture of the zombie, and the two of them saw each other's appearance clearly, and they fell into surprise at the same time.
There is no other, just because the appearance of that zombie is too frightening.
The reason why human beings are afraid of zombies is because zombies are humanoid monsters, possessing both human characteristics and curiosity.
Since the end of the world broke out, the two of them have seen a lot, and they have seen countless horrifying zombies—whether they are missing arms or legs, eyes hanging from their mouths with shredded meat, or internal organs hanging outside their chests. , while walking, carrion falls...
They are not people who are afraid of plasma. After seeing all kinds of horrors of zombies, they are more or less immune.
But this is just different.
Because it symbolizes a way of zombie evolution - fusion.
It wasn't a zombie at all, but two mutilated zombies, the black and rotten flesh blended and stuck together.
Judging from the appearance of the two zombies, they were both mutated zombies after being bitten.The two zombies were covered with bite wounds, and rotten pieces of meat kept falling to the ground during the movement. One of the abdominal organs was hollowed out, and the other thigh and arm were missing.
Because their brains were not eaten, they managed to turn into zombies after their bodies were bitten to pieces.
Probably unintentionally, the head and arms of one zombie got into the abdomen of another zombie with a hollow cavity. If it was just this, it would not surprise Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin, at most it would be emotional These two zombies have a "smart" little brain, and then kill them one by one.
However, the carrion in the cavity zombie's abdomen was obviously connected to the neck and arms of another zombie, growing together firmly.
When they heard the sound of the propellers and saw the bright light cast by the helicopter, they reacted in the same way as the other zombies, waving their arms and salivating, and ran towards the helicopter.
Due to their posture, the two zombies moved very clumsily, and from time to time they would trip and fall to the ground together.
Several times, the cavity zombie fell straight forward, hitting another zombie's head hard on the ground.Then, they would struggle to get up again and continue to walk awkwardly in the direction of the helicopter.
Although the movements of these two zombies were exaggerated, stiffer than any zombies with hands and feet they had ever seen, and their stupidity made people laugh, they both looked solemn.
Yang Yiqin's eyes darkened, and he said seriously: "Get close to them, and the zombie below cannot be killed."
Feng Lin looked serious: "Okay."
The two of them first made sure that there were no other zombies nearby, and then slowly landed the helicopter.
Yang Yiqin first took out a rope and two long cloths from the back seat of the helicopter, and then slowly took out a pistol, always ready to kill the zombies when the situation was out of control.
——That's right, they want to catch zombies "alive".
The movements of those two zombies were really too slow, they didn't know what cooperation was at all, they had four legs together, but they couldn't even walk a meter.Seeing the helicopter land and two delicious-smelling humans jumping out of it, they immediately became more anxious.
This caused them to fall more often.
Without further ado, Feng Lin picked up the ax and charged at the two zombies lying sideways. He first chopped off their jaws and palms with the ax blade, and then pressed them to the ground with the top of the ax and the soles of his shoes, immobilizing an inch.
Yang Yiqin took out the rope, tied the two zombies together firmly, and then took out a strong flashlight.Then, he squatted down and pointed the light of the flashlight at the cavity zombie's abdomen—that is, the position where another zombie's head sticks out.
He was about to take a closer look at the situation of the zombies when he was stopped by Feng Lin.
"I come."
After speaking, Feng Lin squatted down.
He took out two pairs of rubber gloves and a knife from his backpack, and handed one of the gloves to Yang Yiqin.
Yang Yiqin took the gloves and put them on.
Feng Lin also put on his gloves, and then raised his knife to approach the zombie, and cut off all the bits and pieces of carrion from the hollow zombie's abdomen, exposing the joints inside, so that they can observe.
Under the strong flashlight, the connection between the two zombies was clearly displayed in front of them.
Yang Yiqin's eyes darkened: "Sure enough..."
The part where they connect is a thin white membrane, which is the same as what they saw when they dissected other zombies before.
— or more resilient.
Feng Lin pondered, "It's not the same."
"It's not the same." Yang Yiqin frowned and said, "The zombies we dissected before all had membranes on the muscles and joints, but these two zombies are not like this, they have membranes growing in their flesh... …and are madly linked together.”
Feng Lin pursed his lips, swung a sharp knife, and cut along the cavity zombie's abdomen, so that they could come to a definite conclusion.
I saw countless white films growing on the only rotten wound on the zombie's abdomen, and no abnormality was found after the skin and flesh in other places were opened.The membrane growing from the wound on the neck of the zombie inside was connected to the membrane gushing from the wound on the abdomen of the cavity zombie.
The toughness of the film is very strong. Once two zombies are connected, it is difficult to separate them. No matter how many times they fall down, they still stand up like that.
It had been two or three months since the last time they came here—just like Sancun Safe Zone, earth-shaking changes have also taken place here.
"If you come here by helicopter, you should be able to see that recently we have surrounded the entire township within the scope of the safe zone." Shi Jingming pointed to those self-built buildings, "After spring comes, our survivors will move in one after another. In the room, the underground air-raid shelter is mainly used to store food and supplies.”
Yang Yiqin asked curiously: "How many people are there in this safe zone?"
Quartz Tea replied: "About 2000 people."
"A lot more than before."
"Yes, since the food delivery incident, many people are willing to go to the safe zone. After the number of people increased, although the management was a little difficult for a while, thanks to this, the speed of expanding the safe zone in the later stage has been significantly improved. improvement."
Halfway through, Gong Qiang came over.
He greeted Yang Yiqin: "Hey, long time no see, how is your place?"
"Everything is going well so far." Yang Yiqin said with a smile, "You look a little stronger."
Hearing this, Gong Qiang laughed twice: "After all, I exercise every day. Although I do all technical work, a technical worker must have good physical fitness. Come on, praise your old classmate!"
Yang Yiqin held out his thumb.
"sharp."
Gong Qiang was immediately happy, but he suppressed the urge to touch Yang Yiqin, because the other's boyfriend was still watching quietly.
Shi Shiming glanced at the time: "I have other things to deal with, so I have to leave first and come back later. You can visit the safe zone and ask Gong Qiang if you have any questions. He is also the core figure in the safe zone now."
"Okay." Yang Yiqin nodded, "You are busy."
Feng Lin also said, "Please be busy."
"Well, I will inform you of any new news in time."
Shi Shiming hurriedly left here.
After she left, Han Wenliang gave some instructions and left in a hurry.
Gong Qiang said with a smile: "Okay, now I will take you around."
"Then I'll leave it to you." Yang Yiqin chuckled, "We want to take a closer look at the fields planted here and the defensive walls."
Gong Qiang waved his hand: "No problem, come with me."
They left the wide and busy main road, turned around and walked into the small road longitudinal to the town.Except for some shops, schools, and township hospitals on both sides of the provincial road, most of the other places are ordinary self-built houses of farmers.
Those self-built houses are the same as the farmyards in Yangcun, all with high walls and iron gates and spacious yards.
The area of a township must be much larger than that of a village.
More than [-] surviving residents lived completely, and there are still many empty courtyards, in the courtyard of every farmyard, in the open space of the alley, in the corner at the end of the street... any empty land , were all reclaimed into vegetable fields.
The vegetables planted inside are lush and green, and it can be seen that the planting is in good condition.
Seeing their gaze, Gong Qiang said proudly: "The area of vegetable fields in our safety zone is very large. Basically, as long as there is some land, it will be used by the survivors to spread rapeseed. Dangerous, the construction of the wall must be done step by step to achieve the effect, only the limited safe land can be planted with staple food and high-yield vegetables, and we must plant full of green leafy vegetables.”
Yang Yiqin nodded: "It's the same with us. Vegetables have been planted in the village's open spaces and yards."
As the temperature got warmer, the vegetable greenhouses in the safe area of their three villages gradually removed the plastic roofs above them.
Recently, most of the villagers are busy building the wall, and the elderly grandparents in the village, when they are responsible for taking care of the vegetable fields and feeding the livestock, dare not slack off for a minute, for fear that they will become a drag on others.In fact, everyone doesn't care about the results of their farming and raising livestock. After all, they are all elderly over 1 years old, and they cannot ignore their health.
However, while others are desperately building iron mesh walls, they are also extremely serious about constantly reclaiming new vegetable fields and expanding the planting area of the village.Now many empty courtyards are planted with seasonal vegetables.
Vegetables grown by villagers in their own yards belong to the villagers; vegetables grown in uninhabited yards belong to the public resources of the village.
There are only more than 100 people in their village. Judging from the scale of the vegetable field today, when all the vegetables are mature, they can meet their daily needs.
Gong Qiang took them to see the fence and watchtower after the expansion of the safety zone.
Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin looked at it very seriously, not letting go of any place worth learning, and preparing to optimize and strengthen the details of the village's defense after returning.
For example, their watchtowers are built too crudely, and they can develop in the direction of both watching and shooting.
Gong Qiang said: "Now the township safety zone has been officially renamed the Xinzhong City Safety Zone, because with the help of the Beishi base and the provincial base, neighboring cities have successfully established their own safety zones one after another. Each safety zone is only responsible for Search and rescue survivors near you, this will greatly speed up the efficiency of rescuing survivors."
Quartz tea said years ago that they hoped to establish a safe zone network to ensure that survivors in each region have a national security zone to rely on; to all over the country.
Once this regional network is formed, most of the survivors across the country will be sheltered within the safe zone.
They are never willing to give up on anyone.
The corners of Yang Yiqin's lips curled up in pleasure.
"this is a good news."
Feng Lin asked: "Does it include the safe zone established by ordinary people?"
"Except, every prefecture-level city's safety zone is established by the state." Gong Qiang continued to explain, "Like your Sancun safety zone, there are still a few safe zones established by ordinary people and recognized by the state, at least You are the only one near us."
Feng Lin nodded: "It's understandable."
Yang Yiqin smiled: "After all, there is an assessment, and the assessment process needs to be extremely cautious. If you accidentally read the face of the person in charge, you may push the survivors into the fire pit."
Gong Qiang nodded heavily: "You are right."
The tragedy of Pinghua County Middle School must never be repeated.
In fact, if the recent zombie evolution hadn't made the survivors panic, Shi Shiming, Han Wenliang and the others would have to consider defending against potentially dangerous things. They might have already started to investigate all the gathering places of ordinary people near Xinzhong City.
"By the way." Gong Qiang suddenly remembered an important matter, "Recently, when Comrade Shi sent out broadcasts, he always said that if there are survivors who are close to the safe zone of the third village of Haohe County, they can go to that safe zone by themselves. You can Pay attention, there may be survivors who take the initiative to defect to you."
"Okay." Yang Yiqin nodded, "I remember."
Gong Qiang also said: "Also pay attention to safety, don't trust the survivors who defected to you easily, an outrageous incident happened to us before."
Yang Yiqin was puzzled: "What's the matter?"
Neither he nor Feng Lin heard Han Wenliang mention it, probably because too many things have happened recently, so he can only pick important things to talk about, such as the evolution of zombies and the Beishi laboratory.
Gong Qiang shook his head helplessly: "Actually, it didn't cause much impact, because we discovered in time—a group of people drove to the safety zone by themselves. When we checked them, we found that there were only five of them in total, but three Someone was bitten by a zombie..."
Yang Yiqin frowned: "Did you get bitten on the road?"
Gong Qiang gave an affirmative answer.
Feng Lin was not surprised.
He said: "The other party probably underestimated the enemy, thinking that the zombies now are as stiff and clumsy as they were in winter, and they can dodge them with a little movement."
"You guessed right." Gong Qiang regretted, "They wanted to rush through a group of zombies, but the car windows were smashed by the zombies, and they lost a few teammates on the spot. My companion who was walking with me was also bitten. At that time, there was already a sign of zombification, and the other three had just escaped from danger, thinking that the other two were just pale from being frightened..."
If they didn't have a safe zone in time, that team would most likely be wiped out.
Yang Yiqin narrowed his eyes: "They may not have noticed, but the person who was bitten must know it well."
Just hide it and don't say it.
Gong Qiang sighed: "Maybe I thought there was zombie virus serum in the safe zone, which could save their lives, but I shouldn't hide my situation like that."
Hearing this, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin's eyes fluctuated, and they couldn't help but look at each other for a moment.
Gong Qiang noticed their movements and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Yiqin asked back: "Is there any virus serum here?"
"Not now."
"Now? So, there will be in the future."
"That's right, Comrade Shi said that he can tell you two." Gong Qiang explained in a low voice, "You two came back from Beishi, you should know that the researchers there have developed the serum of the zombie virus, but it is temporarily impossible to realize the quantity Production. They told the news to the provincial base, asking each safe zone to protect the survivors everywhere, and waiting for them to provide each safe zone with a certain amount of serum."
Yang Yiqin was surprised: "When will it be delivered?"
Gong Qiang shook his head: "I don't know about this. You can ask Comrade Shi. She can finish her work in about half an hour. However, I heard that the Beishi base was attacked by zombie waves. There were few casualties underneath, but they are probably busy now with widening and strengthening the wall."
"Okay." Yang Yiqin said, "I'll ask Comrade Shi later."
The three of them circled the safety zone, and after making a rough turn, they returned to the provincial road where the helicopter was parked.
Quartz tea hurried over.
Yang Yiqin asked politely, "Is Comrade Shi finished?"
"It's almost there." Shi Jingming smiled, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for me for so long."
Yang Yiqin shook his head: "It's okay, Feng Lin and I came too hastily."
Today, all safe zones are busy defending against evolutionary zombies, and the bigger the safe zone, the more difficult it is to manage.They only got in touch with Han Wenliang in the morning. Quartz Tea must have already decided on today's mission, so they can only take time to communicate with them.
Quartz Tea: "Thank you for your understanding."
Yang Yiqin: "You are too polite."
Gong Qiang on the side said: "By the way, Comrade Shi, I just told the two of them about the serum of the zombie virus—"
Quartz Tea showed a clear expression.
She said to Gong Qiang: "You go to work first, I will continue to chat with them."
Gong Qiang nodded, turned and left here.
Watching him go away, Shi Shiming looked at Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin again, and asked earnestly, "Do you have virus serum on your body?"
Although it was a question on the surface, the tone was extremely firm.
Hearing this, Yang Yiqin didn't hide anything.
"Indeed."
Shi Shiming asked again: "How many are left now?"
Yang Yiqin replied: "There are three left."
"It's really not many." Shi Ming said, "But as long as you pay more attention, there shouldn't be a large number of people being bitten. Before that, I suggest that you conduct a full-body test on the people who enter and leave the village."
"Thank you, Comrade Shi, for your reminder." Yang Yiqin said with a smile, "However, most of the villagers in our safe zone only move around within the fence, and the size of the now enclosed safe zone is enough for our people to be self-sufficient."
Feng Lin added: "The usual patrol work is basically done on the roof."
Hearing this, Shi Shiming was a little relieved: "The situation in each safe zone is different. For a small safe zone like yours, as long as you can solve the problem of self-sufficiency within the walls, you can minimize the crisis."
Yang Yiqin blinked slowly, with a smile in his eyes.
"I think so."
Many houses, vast land, and few people are both their advantages and disadvantages.
The biggest advantage is that as long as the zombies cannot break through their walls, they can survive in the safe zone for a lifetime.
"Let's talk about the serum of the zombie virus." Shi Jingming thought for a while and told them, "Now that the researchers have iterated the serum, the serum you got in your hands should be less effective than the serum recently produced by the laboratory. .”
Yang Yiqin nodded: "I can guess."
Feng Lin echoed: "After all, it's been a few months."
When they left the Beishi base, the laboratory had just researched the serum of the zombie virus, and there were only a dozen finished products in total, and they were all the products of the initial experiments.Now that several months have passed, with the efforts of the laboratory researchers, the zombie virus serum must have undergone an upgrade, and the effect is better than the three serums they got.
Moreover, Yang Yiqin still clearly remembered that they had many conversations with Dr. Liang about the serum.
At that time, Dr. Liang admitted that their ultimate goal was not a serum that only had a [-]% healing effect and could only be used after being bitten.Their goal is a zombie virus vaccine -- a vaccine that can be injected before being bitten and has a preventive effect.
The serum is just an emergency, a temporary measure for the moment.
Sure enough, Shi Shiming said: "All in all, they will try their best to make zombie virus serum as quickly as possible to ensure that emergency serum can be distributed to every safe zone. Because it is only for emergency, it is impossible to make one zombie virus serum per person. For virus serum, researchers should focus on new research."
"If a vaccine that can be injected before being bitten is developed, all the survivors at the Beishi base will be summoned immediately to carry out large-scale vaccine production. By then, we will each receive a shot of the vaccine."
Feng Lin asked: "Have you fixed the time for delivering the emergency serum?"
"It will take about half a month." Shishiming replied, "The exact date has not been determined yet, it depends on the speed of the laboratory's production of serum. They plan to use the whole base to produce serum. However, ordinary people have no experience and it is difficult to get started. , not everyone is suitable for learning how to make a serum."
The eyes of Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin met.
The Beishi base will definitely reach this point in the end. After all, it is impossible to produce large quantities of serum only with the ability of scientific researchers. Sooner or later, the help of survivors will be needed.In order to avoid mistakes, the laboratory should simplify the production process and divide it into several steps. Each person is responsible for a part of it, and someone supervises the whole process of production.
Quartz tea said warmly: "If the vaccine is received here, we will give you some of it."
"Thank you, Comrade Shi, but we only need one or two powerful serums." Yang Yiqin continued, "Because from the past two days, the village has forbidden everyone to go out at will, unless zombies come into the village and bite the villagers, otherwise the infection will be serious." The risk is low."
Hearing this, Shishiming said with emotion——
"You did a great job."
"Thanks to the efforts of the whole village."
"By the way, there is one last thing." Shi Shiming said, "In the winter, we delivered a batch of supplies to you, and we promised that when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, we will send you the next year's food with a convoy. .Now that the zombies have evolved, the convoy may not be able to shuttle freely if it drags on, so we decided to deliver food to you recently."
"Okay." Yang Yiqin nodded, "We will help."
At noon that day, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin returned to the village.
They told the village head, Father Yang and others exactly what they had learned from Shishiming.
"...Didn't see the limit evolution?" Liu Wen's cigarette lighting hand trembled slightly, "What do you mean, can you evolve even more powerful monsters?"
Yang Yiqin said calmly: "This possibility is not ruled out."
"No." Uncle Zhang slapped the table and stood up, "From today on, no matter who wants to leave the village, we will not allow it!"
The village head looked serious: "I think so, even people as powerful as Xiao Yang and Xiao Feng, don't just go outside the defense line, lest they be attacked by zombies coming out of nowhere."
"How do I tell other villagers the news?" Yang Yiqin asked, "Answer truthfully?"
The crowd fell silent.
Feng Lin said seriously: "It's better to tell the truth. Although it may cause panic, panic is better than self-esteem."
Yang Yiqin nodded in agreement.
Several elders, you look at me, I look at you, a little uncertain for a while.
Father Yang was silent for a while, then said, "I understand."
The village chief asked, "What do you understand?"
Father Yang replied, "Let's plant potatoes first."
village head:"……"
"Potatoes must be planted." Regarding this matter, Yang Yiqin had long been hesitant, "Ask who still has potatoes at home, and exchange them for the common resources of the village, and then germinate, sow, and fertilize."
Father Yang went on to say: "And before planting potatoes, tell everyone about the evolution of zombies."
Zhang Bo sighed softly, "That's the only way."
Not daring to waste time, they immediately went to ask other villagers.
Yang Yiqin was a little worried at first, fearing that everyone would not have any potatoes to store food in their hands, but he did not expect that they would get enough potatoes to fill the open space in exchange for one afternoon.Several families have grown potatoes in their greenhouses since last year, and the yield of the mutated potatoes has been quite high.
This made him feel that the villagers' habit of planting and hoarding food and vegetables is really beneficial and harmless.
Next, everyone immediately started planting work.
The North China Plain belongs to the Central Plains. Potatoes can be planted in March and matured in three or four months.Calculating the time, they were able to fertilize the fields for two months after the harvest, and then start planting corn.
The villagers worked together to spread out all the potatoes at the entrance of the temple and use conventional methods to sprout them.When the potatoes germinated one by one, they cut off the bud eyes, sprinkled plant ash on the cut surface of the potatoes to prevent them from rotting, and then they could directly bury the tubers in the soil for planting.
They know that the reason for planting potatoes on a large scale is to minimize the possibility of them leaving the safe zone.
Even if you have the grain in the granary, you can't give up farming.
When the villagers were busy planting potatoes, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin frequently traveled between the safety zone and the village to help Han Wenliang's convoy survey the terrain and eliminate possible dangers along the route.
After careful exploration, the convoy finally set off.
A large number of trucks, carrying tons of grain, drove towards the Sancun safe zone.
Feng Lin drove the helicopter to open the way ahead, and Yang Yiqin sat in the co-pilot's seat, always paying attention to the nearby zombies and mutant animals.
Spring is coming, only in the middle of March, lush weeds grow in the endless fields, criss-crossing continuously.Weeds are growing vigorously, gradually covering the corn and corn stalks that have been damaged by freezing before they can be harvested in the future. The well-organized farmland has become a messy paradise for insects and rats.
Even so, it seems to be another kind of vitality and greenery.
In the process of transporting food, only two small groups of zombies were disturbed. Yang Yiqin and the others did not feel sorry for the bullets, and shot them to death one by one.
Three hours later, they finally arrived at their destination.
Father Yang, Zhang Bo and others met in front of the iron gate close to the provincial road.
When the entire convoy was close to the intersection, they would open the first iron gate of the village and let the convoy enter the range of the barbed wire fence.Father Yang commanded the convoy to go inside. After Zhang Bo and Liu Wen broke off, the moment the last truck entered the gate, he immediately locked the gate.
Afterwards, the convoy passed through a concrete road and entered the iron gate at the entrance of the village. At this time, the village chief opened the second iron gate.
It is true that their approach is a bit overly cautious, but in the end times that are full of dangers, no matter how cautious they are, it is nothing more than that.There are more than 100 villagers who trust them in the village. Even if there is only a one-thousandth possibility, they must not put everyone in danger.
Han Wenliang very much agrees with their approach.
Following Father Yang's guidance, they entered the street of Qiancun step by step.
The truck was too big and could only be parked on the most spacious main road in the village. As soon as they stopped, dozens of villagers gathered together to help carry the goods on the truck.
Feng Lin and Yang Yiqin drove the helicopter and landed on the roof of a certain house.
The two jumped off the roof and joined the movement of supplies.
Han Wenliang and his party also jumped out of the car.
With everyone's help, one big bag after another of grain was quickly unloaded from the truck and temporarily piled up along the street on the side of the village's main road.
Han Wenliang didn't dare to waste too much time, fearing that new dangers would appear on the route when he came.He found Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin, and quickly ordered: "This batch of supplies includes the share of the survivors living alone near you, please distribute the food to them."
"No problem." Yang Yiqin asked, "Are you leaving now?"
Han Wen nodded: "Let's go now. Driving is not like flying a helicopter. If it is delayed, the road conditions may change."
Feng Lin had a calm demeanor.
"Let's explore the way first."
"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." Han Wenliang said, "Let's go back the way we came."
Feng Lin and Yang Yiqin checked the road conditions as quickly as possible.
After confirming that there was no danger, they drove the helicopter to open the way ahead according to the formation when they came, and guided Han Wenliang's convoy to advance safely.
It only took more than two hours to go back. After bidding farewell to Han Wenliang, he returned to the village.
As the season changes to spring, the sun sets later and later,
They set off at dawn, and then worked all day, only having time to drink water and take two quick bites of bread.On the return trip at this time, the sky still hadn't completely subsided, and the setting sun in the west dyed most of the sky red, making the fields covered with weeds even more barren.
Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin chatted about various things that happened today, and the helicopter flew towards the village at a normal speed.
Generally speaking, they only need half an hour to reach the village, but Yang Yiqin's vigilance remained undiminished, and he decided to inspect the nearby anomalies before it was completely dark.
The convoy's way back and forth has been determined to be safe, and Feng Lin specially flies the helicopter along another path.
This path is not a provincial road, it is located between the vast fields, the narrowest place can only pass through a private car.Most of the time, the villagers in the villages along the line ride bicycles or tricycles to and from the path.
The main function of the path is to facilitate farmers to take care of the farmland, and by the way, it can also connect villages separated by tens of miles.
Although the road is narrow and often turns around, it can lead to the safe area of Sancun where they are located - and it leads to the moving line of Yangcun's main road.
The reason why they judged that the zombies are most likely to go to the village along the provincial road instead of going to the village through a small road is because the provincial road is wide and has no obstacles, while the small road is winding and potholed.According to the IQ and stiffness of the zombies, if they are not careful, they will roll to the bottom of the field, and then they will not be able to get up.
Last year, rolling fields were filled with man-high corn, all but where survivors lived, left untended until winds and snowstorms crushed them.
But that is just crushing rather than clearing. The snow is difficult to walk on, and there are entangled corn stalks under the snow layer. Humans still find it difficult to walk, let alone those zombies.Later, the ice melted and the snow melted, revealing the withered yellow corn stalks covered below, which became the nemesis of humans and zombies—creating an environment where it was impossible to run fast.
Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin often fly in the fields. They have seen countless zombies whose legs and feet were entangled by corn stalks and "helplessly" waving their arms in the vast fields.
Things are very different now.
The more he understood that the zombies were evolving, the more vigilant Yang Yiqin became. He even began to worry about whether the zombies could cross the obstacles of the vast fields.
After all, humans may be unable to move because of sprained feet, but zombies don't feel pain and just keep moving forward.
Yang Yiqin observed the situation below by the red light of the setting sun.
"Weeds are coming through the gaps in the corn stalks that are degrading to feed them, and I've seen snakes and rats wriggling in the gaps. The fields still look difficult to walk on - at least for humans Come on."
"It seems that there are zombies." Feng Lin narrowed his eyes, trying to land on the moving shadow not far away, "It looks like there are three of them."
Yang Yiqin turned his gaze to the direction Feng Lin was looking at.
There were indeed three zombies walking aimlessly there. At this moment, they all turned around and looked in the direction of the helicopter.They were excited by the roar of the propellers, and yellow-black saliva could not help but flow from the corners of their mouths.
Feng Lin slowed down the speed of the helicopter's flight.
Immediately, Yang Yiqin took out his bow and arrow, put the arrow on the bow, and killed them one by one.
Now as long as they saw zombies, no matter whether they were able-bodied or paralyzed, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin would definitely kill them all as long as they had time and opportunity.
After all, if the scourge is left behind, it is unknown what it will evolve into in the future.
After killing the zombies, Yang Yiqin didn't put away his bow and arrow, but turned to look in other directions, looking for any zombies left alone.
Flying along the path, at intervals, you can see small uninhabited villages.These villages have been desolate since last year. The walls of the self-built houses have long been covered with vines, the bricks on the walls are cracked, and the wall skin and cement dust are peeling off layer by layer. It is extremely desolate and desolate.
Previously, when Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin were searching for survivors, they killed most of the zombies wandering in these villages.
But there are still many hiding in the house and "surviving" with the help of the blind corner of sight.
Along the way, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin cooperated tacitly.
Once there are zombies wandering around, Feng Lin will immediately slow down his flying speed so that Yang Yiqin can shoot the zombies with his bow.After killing them, Feng Lin speeded up and flew in the direction of the village.
"call out!"
A piercing arrow flew out, and another zombie was shot to death.
Yang Yiqin moved his feverish wrist, and said with a smile: "If we kill all the zombies along the way, we can at least rest assured for a while, and don't have to worry about zombies coming from this direction."
"Then let's stay a little longer." Just after finishing speaking, Feng Lin suddenly changed the subject, "Qinqin, there is another one in front."
Yang Yiqin subconsciously raised his bow and arrow, pointing to the south.
However, the next moment, he was stunned.
Feng Lin was also stunned for a moment.
The sun was setting, and the sky was darker than before, so Feng Lin only saw a shambling figure at first, and then immediately reminded Yang Yiqin.
But at this moment, the helicopter's strong light took a picture of the zombie, and the two of them saw each other's appearance clearly, and they fell into surprise at the same time.
There is no other, just because the appearance of that zombie is too frightening.
The reason why human beings are afraid of zombies is because zombies are humanoid monsters, possessing both human characteristics and curiosity.
Since the end of the world broke out, the two of them have seen a lot, and they have seen countless horrifying zombies—whether they are missing arms or legs, eyes hanging from their mouths with shredded meat, or internal organs hanging outside their chests. , while walking, carrion falls...
They are not people who are afraid of plasma. After seeing all kinds of horrors of zombies, they are more or less immune.
But this is just different.
Because it symbolizes a way of zombie evolution - fusion.
It wasn't a zombie at all, but two mutilated zombies, the black and rotten flesh blended and stuck together.
Judging from the appearance of the two zombies, they were both mutated zombies after being bitten.The two zombies were covered with bite wounds, and rotten pieces of meat kept falling to the ground during the movement. One of the abdominal organs was hollowed out, and the other thigh and arm were missing.
Because their brains were not eaten, they managed to turn into zombies after their bodies were bitten to pieces.
Probably unintentionally, the head and arms of one zombie got into the abdomen of another zombie with a hollow cavity. If it was just this, it would not surprise Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin, at most it would be emotional These two zombies have a "smart" little brain, and then kill them one by one.
However, the carrion in the cavity zombie's abdomen was obviously connected to the neck and arms of another zombie, growing together firmly.
When they heard the sound of the propellers and saw the bright light cast by the helicopter, they reacted in the same way as the other zombies, waving their arms and salivating, and ran towards the helicopter.
Due to their posture, the two zombies moved very clumsily, and from time to time they would trip and fall to the ground together.
Several times, the cavity zombie fell straight forward, hitting another zombie's head hard on the ground.Then, they would struggle to get up again and continue to walk awkwardly in the direction of the helicopter.
Although the movements of these two zombies were exaggerated, stiffer than any zombies with hands and feet they had ever seen, and their stupidity made people laugh, they both looked solemn.
Yang Yiqin's eyes darkened, and he said seriously: "Get close to them, and the zombie below cannot be killed."
Feng Lin looked serious: "Okay."
The two of them first made sure that there were no other zombies nearby, and then slowly landed the helicopter.
Yang Yiqin first took out a rope and two long cloths from the back seat of the helicopter, and then slowly took out a pistol, always ready to kill the zombies when the situation was out of control.
——That's right, they want to catch zombies "alive".
The movements of those two zombies were really too slow, they didn't know what cooperation was at all, they had four legs together, but they couldn't even walk a meter.Seeing the helicopter land and two delicious-smelling humans jumping out of it, they immediately became more anxious.
This caused them to fall more often.
Without further ado, Feng Lin picked up the ax and charged at the two zombies lying sideways. He first chopped off their jaws and palms with the ax blade, and then pressed them to the ground with the top of the ax and the soles of his shoes, immobilizing an inch.
Yang Yiqin took out the rope, tied the two zombies together firmly, and then took out a strong flashlight.Then, he squatted down and pointed the light of the flashlight at the cavity zombie's abdomen—that is, the position where another zombie's head sticks out.
He was about to take a closer look at the situation of the zombies when he was stopped by Feng Lin.
"I come."
After speaking, Feng Lin squatted down.
He took out two pairs of rubber gloves and a knife from his backpack, and handed one of the gloves to Yang Yiqin.
Yang Yiqin took the gloves and put them on.
Feng Lin also put on his gloves, and then raised his knife to approach the zombie, and cut off all the bits and pieces of carrion from the hollow zombie's abdomen, exposing the joints inside, so that they can observe.
Under the strong flashlight, the connection between the two zombies was clearly displayed in front of them.
Yang Yiqin's eyes darkened: "Sure enough..."
The part where they connect is a thin white membrane, which is the same as what they saw when they dissected other zombies before.
— or more resilient.
Feng Lin pondered, "It's not the same."
"It's not the same." Yang Yiqin frowned and said, "The zombies we dissected before all had membranes on the muscles and joints, but these two zombies are not like this, they have membranes growing in their flesh... …and are madly linked together.”
Feng Lin pursed his lips, swung a sharp knife, and cut along the cavity zombie's abdomen, so that they could come to a definite conclusion.
I saw countless white films growing on the only rotten wound on the zombie's abdomen, and no abnormality was found after the skin and flesh in other places were opened.The membrane growing from the wound on the neck of the zombie inside was connected to the membrane gushing from the wound on the abdomen of the cavity zombie.
The toughness of the film is very strong. Once two zombies are connected, it is difficult to separate them. No matter how many times they fall down, they still stand up like that.
