Zombies don't need to rest

"To shut up!"

Kong Anping's serious voice made the man shrink his neck and lower his head immediately.

Looking at Du Fuda, Kong Anping sighed softly: "I'll leave this to you."

"I..." Du Fuda opened his mouth, and finally nodded: "I will do my best."

Kong Anping turned around and looked at the remaining people: "The situation is indeed bad, but it is not hopeless. If they can do something while shouting slogans, then let them shout. In short, remember me As I said yesterday, our task chief has made it very clear that there will be no problems in stabilizing the status quo, so I don’t want to hear any more complaints.”

The person who spoke before lowered his head and said, "Yes, I promise I will never talk about it in the future."

Kong Anping's face softened a bit: "Leave Lao Du here, and the rest will follow me to the sixth district."

When he left, he turned his head and glanced at the beach in the distance.

The man standing on the rock before was gone.

Judging from the man's attire, the other party should not be an ordinary person, but Kong Anping is very clear that these businessmen and hundreds of thousands of managers in the No. [-] base city are the only way to maintain the status quo here.

Externally, these people are providing services for the tourists who come and go, using various federal or permitted or implied services, so that everyone who comes here will pay for it willingly.

Internally, these people turn people into "products" that are used to provide services.They can turn people into sex workers in District [-], they can turn people into goods in District [-].

And at the same time, they can make the bottom ones have no complaints, and even kneel down to thank them for the "opportunity bestowed".

What is the most important resource in the third base city?

Are those factories called prisons in name?

Is it fish from offshore farms?

Are those magnificent architectural attractions?

neither.

The most important resource here is people.

The most important commodity here is people.

The essence of Base No. [-] City is a huge breeding farm, waiting for outsiders to pick their favorite "goods".

The people have completely lost their temper in the past 100 years, and the carefully arranged environment in the third base city has given them no foundation to unite and make trouble.

As long as you make trouble, someone else will immediately take your job.

At that time, you will be caught and sent to prison to work for free, and the person who replaced your position can make money and live in your position.

It is estimated that more often than not, the neighbors have already reported you before you even left the house.

So Kong Anping understood that when Luo Jincheng said to maintain his own stability, he meant to maintain these businessmen and managers.

Especially those managers who were frightened by Luo Jincheng's boldness.

If they are stabilized, there will be no problems with the people.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is still the fantasy capital full of entertainment and freedom.

As long as you stick to it for a few years, when you retire, whoever cares about this mess will be the one.

But he still has some worries, that is, in recent years, the economic conditions of the Federation have become worse and worse, otherwise casinos and gun shops would not become legal operations.

Can these two new profit points really maintain the former grandeur of the third base city?

Kong Anping didn't know.

But that's not something he should be thinking about.

Since he was a child, his family has never been short of money, and now he has realized his dream and become a member of the council, so he is not interested in Guo Wen's set, nor is he interested in the castle hotel.

"The ultimate goal is to keep the director's reputation until retirement!"

When Kong Anping, who had made up his mind, got into the car, he saw Jiang Yang again.

The difference was that this time Jiang Yang was sitting on the previous rock.

The cars of more than a dozen people left one by one, and the guard vehicles responsible for their safety drove by on both sides, so that Kong Anping didn't see Jiang Yang, who reappeared on the stone, holding a water bottle in his hand.

Inside are two fry that are only the size of a thumb.

There was the sound of a workboat moving on the sea.

That was the group that had just put in the fry. After going back to get the markers, they were going to mark and count the fry in the breeding box in detail.

Just like what those people said just now.

This group, which looks pretty good and shouted loud slogans, are all related households left after the offshore farms were abolished.

When this group of people received it, they didn't ask or check it, and they still forgot to count the number when they stocked the fry.

I went ashore just now to go back to get the markers and come back to count again.

Don't look at the loud slogans of the leading man, in fact he is also very panicked.

Jiang Yang watched them carefully open the lid of the breeding box, patted his pants with a smile, stood up and left the beach.

It takes a long time for these fry to reach a marketable size, so now is the best chance to get your hands on them.

After all, it is not for him to go fishing but to dive into the bottom of the sea to catch two fish, which is not difficult for him.

The real difficulty lies in the two fish themselves.

Back in the basement of the Dead Water Tavern, Jiang Yang quietly watched the two fish swimming in the water bottle.

In Sun Hai's information, there is also a question he asked Jiang Yang: "Since these fish have changed due to their inadaptability to environmental changes, is it also the reason for our zombies?"

Why do human beings become zombies under the influence of radiation energy?

Jiang Yang can't understand this question now.

Because he himself was already a zombie before the black sun appeared.

And a long time ago.

Two researchers located below the New Hope mine asked Jiang Yang, "Are zombies contagious to humans in the old days?"

Jiang Yang also couldn't understand this question.

Because in his observation, the first-generation zombies were just like himself, and somehow they became zombies.

The difference is that they appeared at the same time as the black sun, and they completely lost consciousness at the moment of transformation, leaving only the instinct of eating and absorbing energy.

As for whether it will be contagious, Jiang Yang is not very sure.

Because he has seen human beings turned into zombies after being bitten by zombies.

I have also seen human beings who have not suffered any harm, but turned into zombies inexplicably because of hunger or weakness.

He has also seen human beings who were scratched and bitten by zombies, but survived successfully and entered the shelter for several years, and finally starved to death in the shelter and were eaten by others without turning into zombies.

Some people were eaten by zombies before any abnormalities appeared.

Some of them turned into zombies when they were being bitten by zombies.

There are also some wounds that were bitten all over the body and were finally beaten to death by their companions and became food for other humans.

In the few but some human shelters, it seems that they are more willing to believe that the zombies carry some kind of virus that can be infected.

But after the disinfection equipment was used up, and they had no spare time to pay attention to the issue of disinfection, they lived normally.

So whether it was the virus that caused the mutation or the radiation energy that caused the mutation, Jiang Yang really couldn't draw a conclusion.

It can only be said that at this stage, he himself is more inclined to radiate energy.

Because he had found a former virus research institute in the ruins.

The people there had conducted research after they were lucky enough to escape the first round of zombies.

It was concluded that the microbial world was the first to be affected when radiant energy appeared.

They speculated that the microbial mutation occurred before the zombie mutation.

But this mutation refers to the direct death of a large number of microorganisms under the action of high-intensity radiation energy.

A small number of surviving ones also entered a dormant state.

A researcher wrote in his notes: "The current world is like a pure sterile operating table. I believe that in such an environment, even zombies will not exist for a long time."

Then the research institute was breached by hungry zombies, leaving behind a large amount of blood and messy equipment, as well as a small amount of information and notes that Jiang Yang managed to find.

The researcher who firmly believed that zombies could not survive for long in a sterile environment left nothing behind.

Maybe he died, maybe he turned into a zombie.

But in short, among the zombies that have survived until now, there is no such person.

However, although no further research information on him was found, there was another researcher who was lucky enough to hide in the innermost part of the cold storage, avoid the zombie attack and finally starve to death, and recorded some of the situation at that time.

"In front of all of us, Xiao Wu, who was recruited the year before last, suddenly turned into a monster, and when he was eating the people around him, a few people in the distant room also changed."

"I'm not sure if there was something super powerful that couldn't be observed that was infecting these people at the time."

"But I suspect that it may be the high-energy radiation energy that caused the mutation, and this mutation is random, or it varies from person to person."

In fact, he should have recorded more thoughts, but the rest of the paper was eaten by him who was about to starve to death.

Jiang Yang buried his body in the ruins of that research institute, but he didn't know the final result.

The high probability is that when the number of creatures plummeted and the zombies began to devour their own kind, they were dug out and eaten by some zombies.

In the first few decades of the catastrophe, Jiang Yang has been observing zombies and humans, and thinking hard about these questions, but in the end he still didn't find the answer.

It was at that time that he started to try: "Perhaps, I can use the props provided by the system to Luo Jincheng to conduct research."

It's different from the zombies in the Windless Tavern who started learning a hundred years ago.

Jiang Yang left at the monarch level and started learning when humans returned to the surface.

Relying on the information he found in the ruins, he learned little by little the knowledge left by human beings in countless long nights, and then verified them one by one to see what changes had occurred in this world under the influence of radiation energy.

During those years, he also mastered some research methods that other zombies did not possess.

A black metal spike appeared out of thin air in his hand, and was pressed into his temple by Jiang Yang forcefully.

All the messy thoughts stopped abruptly at this moment.

He took the water bottle expressionlessly and separated the two fish. One of them remained in the water bottle and he placed it in a corner outside the basement.

After closing the heavy metal door again, he placed the other one directly on the operating table in front of him.

His eyes turned scarlet, and he didn't see any movement. Suddenly, a piercing sound echoed in the basement.

At first the sound seemed high-pitched, like a beep, but soon died away.

Jiang Yang just stood quietly on the ground and looked at the fish on the console.

Thick metal walls blocked everything here, but if someone touched the metal at this time, they would find that they were heating up.

The fish that was placed on the console was still jumping vigorously at the beginning, but it soon became silent.

Jiang Yang opened his mouth, took out a silver-white reagent from the abdominal cavity and injected it into the fish's body.

The zombie's life substance to maintain body functions was injected into the fish's body, and then watched quietly.

The fish's body began to deform, its streamlines were destroyed, and there was a large fleshy ball at the place where the life substance was injected, and it began to grow rapidly.

At some point the orb shattered again like a deflated rubber ball, and the fish had died long before he had injected the life substance.

The sharp voice reappeared, and then disappeared a little bit to restore calm.

The fish was dead, and what remained in place was a puddle of shapeless minced meat. Jiang Yang wiped it lightly with his hands expressionlessly, and the meat turned into charcoal.

He opened the door to the basement and looked at the fish fry still swimming in the water bottle. He calmly took the cleaning tool to remove the coke on the operating table, and pulled out the black metal spike after the smell in the basement disappeared.

Taking the water bottle and returning to the counter of the Passing Water Tavern, Jiang Yang, who was sitting on a high chair, took out his notebook and camera.

He took a photo of the remaining fry, and after clipping the photo in his notebook, he wrote below:

[In the 215th year of the Cataclysm Era, Luo Jincheng took out a new species in the system that should have appeared in countless years, as a source of food for human beings. 】

[No one can prove whether this answer sheet submitted countless years in advance is correct, but what is certain is that after systematic "customization" they have adapted to the current marine environment. 】

[Even in a high-energy environment with dozens of times the natural radiation energy, they still will not be as frenzied as zombies and recklessly absorb materials to upgrade individuals infinitely. 】

[In this regard, the system and I have the same judgment on the direction of evolution. 】

After writing here, Jiang Yang stopped.
