Chapter 243: Anarchy
Then I asked them how the hooded people became what they are now, and the lone wanderer said that they were one of the very few people who survived the virus outbreak, but in fact, the reason for their survival is not very clear, probably because they have some kind of antibodies in their bodies, but although they are not dead, they have become what they are now, and the smell on their bodies is also their own. And those people from the Blue Bird Company came to arrest them, probably in order to take them back for experiments, and they have been dealing with these Blue Bird people almost since the beginning of the virus outbreak, and almost half of them have died.
I think this sounds familiar, wasn't that the same when we were on the island?
"Are there any other groups of survivors besides you?"
"It's not clear. β
I immediately asked the hooded men to tell me the locations of the Blue Jays strongholds they knew.
"No, you'll die as soon as you enter the infected area!" the hooded men were admonishing me.
I shook my head: "Maybe we're not afraid. β
"How do you know?" asked the Lone Wanderer, looking at me.
"Because we've already entered Matsue City. β
The hooded men didn't believe it at first, but it wasn't until we told them the details of the situation in Matsue that they were skeptical.
But I was careful and didn't tell them about our little vials of the virus.
Then he drew me a simple map showing us all the infected areas in the South China Province where the whole city of Songjiang is located, and I took a general look at them and found that these infected areas were not quite what I had imagined.
I originally thought that all of them should be some kind of circular area, such as an area that spread out from Songjiang City, but from the map, in addition to a small number of circular infection areas scattered around the city, there are also many strip-shaped areas, according to those hooded people, the width of these strip-shaped infection areas is basically about one kilometer, and it is these strip-shaped areas that divide the entire South China Province into countless independent areas, which cannot communicate with each other, and the areas they have identified are not all, because they have not been to many placesγ
It feels as if the entire province of South China has been divided into separate areas by this strip-like infection, and they cannot pass through each other.
The hooded men say they have been under the pretense of these Blue Bird operatives since the outbreak of the virus, and that the frequency has recently increased considerably.
"Isn't there anyone in charge?" I asked, confused.
"No ......" the Lone Wanderer shook his head, "It's anarchy at all right now. β
"Is there anyone else in this area now besides you? I mean, are there any other infected people who just look different from you?"
"We haven't seen it anyway. β
"What do you usually eat?"
"We went to nearby villages and towns to search for food and hunt animals. β
"Where did the animals come from?"
"In areas outside the infected area, some wild animals have also survived. β
"Are they the animals that can't see the light?" I asked.
"Yes. β
"You won't get sick after eating them?"
"If we don't eat, we'll starve to death, and it's not practical to grow crops, because we're going to be attacked every once in a while." β
"Then you can't see the light either?"
"We just can't be exposed to light for long periods of time, otherwise the skin will ulcerate. β
At this time, the other hooded men told us not to talk here, so as not to be discovered.
As we were about to leave, we saw several helicopters rise in the sky and fly away in the direction of the south where Matsue City is located, which is the direction in which these people had come before.
Our group followed the hooded men back to their second walled camp, which was much larger than the one near the reservoir, with women and children, and even old people, like a large community.
It's a pity that these people all have a bad smell on them.
On the way, I asked the hooded men about the "Salvation Army" and "pirates", but to my surprise, they had never met either of them.
When we got back to the camp, the hooded men brought us some food, and we were no longer picky eaters, so we devoured them.
According to him, in May last year, a month before the outbreak of the virus, he actually got some news, at that time it was said that many rich and powerful people were moving to North China, and even some government officials were secretly transferring, that is, the outbreak of the virus did not happen suddenly, at least some people knew about it, but for some reason, the news could not be released to everyone.
Tan Wei's words revealed a very important information, that is, it is very likely that there is still a normal human society in North China, otherwise why would those rich and powerful people move there?
In addition, Tan Wei marked me on the map the two strongholds of the Blue Bird Company that he knew before, about 200 kilometers southwest of Songjiang City, with four or five strip-shaped infection areas and several virus outbreak points in between.
He told me that it is easy to distinguish whether it is in an infected area or not, as long as you check in the basement of a building you pass by, or other places that do not see light all year round, if there are animals, it is a non-infected area, and if you don't, it is definitely an infected area.
Then I consulted with our men, and they all agreed that there was no delay in this matter, and that we should get to the strongholds as soon as possible.
But soon Tan Wei gave a new suggestion, he said, if possible, we had better find a way to eliminate the virus in those infected areas, completely eliminate the virus in those areas, so that they can also get rid of the shackles of these infected areas, and they can also join and help our group.
To be honest, I still don't quite believe Tan Wei's statement before: "Didn't you say that you have been infected with the virus, why are you still afraid of those infected areas?"
"We had the same idea as you at the beginning, but we have already suffered losses, and after we had someone enter Matsue City, we died very quickly. β
"Could it be that the virus in this area is different from the one you are infecting?" I asked.
"Maybe. Tan Wei shook his head: "I don't know, but this is indeed the truth." β
"Then you're going to have to give us a clue, right? You just said that these infected areas were formed by an unknown device that slowly spreads viruses, right? What does this device look like?"
"If I had seen it, I would have told you directly. Tan Wei said: "But I remember that on the eve of the virus outbreak, some people in Songjiang City claimed to have seen this kind of malicious virus-spreading device, as if there was a civil riot at that time.
As soon as Tan Wei said this, Chen Mengyu and He Feifei and I glanced at each other, and then without waiting for me to speak, Duan Xiaoxiao on the side rushed to say: "I've seen it!
"Then you'd better go back and have a look!" Tan Wei said with an excited expression: "As long as this root is removed, the blockade of the infected area will disappear, as long as we lift the blockade of all South China Province little by little, then we will completely regain our freedom, and maybe there will be survivors like us in other areas, and everyone can join forces at that time." β
I immediately agreed, saying that I would go back to Songjiang City now.
Then I saw that Tan Wei asked his people to get me two large off-road vehicles from the warehouse from them, which had been modified by them, and some metal protrusions were added to the front to push some vehicles along the way.
It seems that these people have pinned their hopes on us......
