Chapter 105: Origin

"I see, what a clever idea." Yang Hao praised.

"There are still more raw materials here, tools, machine tools and other things, so that such a thing can be made, otherwise, this place will become a dog kennel."

Both Smaer and Zhao Jie laughed.

Yang Hao also smiled, and then said, "Coming down is the information I need the most." I want to know all the intel about the zombies, and all the intel about the city, all of them. ”

"I knew you wanted to ask this."

Smaël stood up and waved his hand, "Take you somewhere." Zhao, tell them what we found. ”

"Okay, come with me."

Several people stood up.

The four of them came to an elevator, and Zhao Jie pressed the button. At this elevator entrance, Yang Hao and the night meteor have never come.

After a while, the elevator doors opened, and four people walked in. The elevator started, and Yang Hao felt it in an instant.

The elevator goes down.

"Underground?" Yang Hao asked.

"Yes, on the fourth basement floor." Smal replied simply.

In the middle of the night, the elevator doors opened.

The environment outside the door reminded Yang Hao of the appearance of the laboratory.

Sure enough, Smaer spoke, "This is our laboratory, and Zhao spends most of his time here. And thanks to him, we've come up with a lot of things. As for what information is useful and what is not, it's up to you to analyze it yourself. ”

The four of them walked out of the elevator, Zhao Jie turned back, and said with a smile: "Okay, next, I'll answer your first question." ”

There were still quite a few people busy in the laboratory, and Smail walked by, but they didn't pay attention to it and continued their work.

Zhao Jie slowly began to say: "I have studied zombies for a long, long time, and I haven't cracked the virus on their bodies yet, but I have also collected a lot of information, such as that." ”

He snapped his finger. There was an isolation room made of glass over there, and there was a zombie with a heavily decomposed body, holding the glass in front of him with both hands, grinning at Smaer and the others not far away.

It's a pity that this is tempered glass, with its liliang, it can't be broken.

"Because of the strange membrane on their eyes, Shili can be said to have disappeared, but their hearing is much stronger than that of ordinary humans. However, I found that they seem to have an inertia in sound. ”

He looked at the zombies in front of him and said, "As long as it is a sound, or a similar sound keeps ringing in the ears of the zombies, after a long time, they will become numb to this sound." For example, the sound of the wind, there is almost no wind in the city all the time. When they blow through the body of the zombie, it will produce a sound that belongs to the wind. But none of the zombies reacted to the wind. And this. ”

He nodded to the person next to him, who pressed a button on a tool next to him.

Heavy metal rock music suddenly sounded in the room.

But the zombie in front of them was still grinning at Smail.

"This music is played almost every day for a while. At first, it was very alert to the music, but on the third day, no matter how loud it was, it couldn't hear it. ”

Zhao Jie turned his head: "This is probably related to the fact that they have lost their thinking." This kind of music has created inertia in the zombie's instinct, making it think that this sound cannot be caught, or that it cannot harm it, so it filters this sound from the target. ”

"And about their visuals. As I said yesterday, zombies can't distinguish objects, but they can spot things that move. Of course, there are those zombies who still have wisdom. They are special and can distinguish between humans and other objects, and can even think of ways to deal with targets that cannot be attacked. So what I'm talking about is just for zombies in general, not for them. ”

"I made a hypothetical idea of the zombie shili through simulation. If the shijie in front of us has the shape of a square, a rectangle, a circle, a triangle, etc., then in the eyes of the zombies, the entire shijie is only square. ”

"To put it simply, in the eyes of zombies, everything is built up with large and small cubes, just like building blocks. They can only see this, but they can't tell what each 'cube' is. But in their instincts, what can move is what can be 'eaten', after all, roughly speaking, zombies are also a 'carnivore', so they will attack those things that move, because they think that these things that can move are food, maybe this is shijie in the eyes of zombies. If you can take advantage of this, zombies are actually very easy to deal with. ”

As soon as he said this, Yang Hao understood.

Zombies are not sapient, so they can't distinguish objects the way they think. If what Zhao Jie said is correct, the shijie of zombies only has one shape, and looking at any object is like looking at a mosaic. If a person's shijie is like this, it won't take long to be dazzled, and it won't be able to distinguish objects.

However, despite losing their intelligence, zombies still have a general instinct. Instinctively, any living thing will look for food on its own. What would be food in such a shijie?

Being able to move has become the most important feature for zombies to distinguish "food".

No wonder as long as you stop and don't move, you can avoid the eyes of zombies, if Zhao Jie's hypothesis is wrong, it is estimated that it is not far from the correct answer.

"But there's one thing I still don't know, and that's the source of energy for zombies."

"I should say that I already have a little bit of an eyebrow about this question. Zombies instinctively seek out food, but they themselves cannot get energy from food. Because most of their internal organs, except for the heart, have been broken down and have lost their original function, including the stomach. When food enters their stomachs, it is not digested at all, but decays over time. Some zombies' stomachs have begun to rot, so what they eat will remain in their stomachs. As for where it is, it depends on how much activity this zombie has. ”

"I used to wonder if their energy comes from the sun. It didn't take long for such a question to be denied by me because of it. ”

Zhao Jie pointed to the zombies on the other side of the glass wall. It still looks active, and it doesn't look tired at all.

"It's been locked up for more than a year, but it doesn't look like it's running out of energy. You don't see the sun here all year round, so it can't get energy from the lights, right? But it's not like no progress at all. In front of it, there was a zombie in front of it, but one day after nine months of keeping it, it suddenly died, without warning, without any fatal wounds on its head, and the blood on its body flowed out of every pore, and it soon turned into a dried corpse. My guess is that it probably lost its energy completely before it died suddenly. If that's the case, then the zombies themselves ......"

Night Meteor interjected: "Like a battery? ”

"Smack!"

Zhao Jie snapped his fingers: "That's what it means." My guess is twofold: first, they may produce energy on their own, but when the time comes, the body's energy will be consumed and usher in a natural death; Second, they may have some kind of way of harvesting energy that I haven't found yet, maybe from the air. But they are like a rechargeable battery in themselves, but this 'battery' also has a lifespan. One day when it can't be charged again, then it will be scrapped. ”

Yang Hao frowned: "But I've never seen any zombies of this form in the city." The corpses I saw were either smashed on the head or had fatal wounds, but none of them were what you said. ”

"This is one thing that will tell you later, so let's put it down for now." Zhao Jie said and walked into another house.

"There are many ways to deal with zombies, and the head is where they are deadly. I don't know Weishenme, the bones of zombies are very hard, much harder than human bones, but once they die, the bones will become crushed within a day, so it is impossible to use their bones as weapons. But attacking their brains through concussion can cause them fatal injuries in an instant, and zombies' brains are even more fragile than expected, even if it can cause a mild concussion injury to humans, it can destroy their brains. There are other places that can also cause certain effects, such as nerves, tendon connections, if you can break bones, you can also do it, especially the neck bone, which can directly destroy the zombies' ability to move, which is the same effect as breaking their nerves. ”

After Zhao Jie finished speaking, Smail patted Yang Hao on the shoulder: "Okay, let's tell you about this city." ”

Smaer led Yang Hao and the others through the corridor in the middle and came to another relatively large laboratory.

"It's not a secret. Originally, this was an ordinary city, and the first outbreak of zombies was in a hospital in the center of the city. ”

"The day before the zombie outbreak, there was an explosion in a laboratory in the eastern suburbs. The explosion blew up the entire laboratory, but miraculously, in the rubble of the laboratory, the firefighters found a person alive and the ambulance immediately took him to the hospital. After a night of rescue, this man's breath can be regarded as hanging. The next day, zombies began to appear in the city. ”

"There were survivors at that hospital that day. According to them, the first zombie they saw was the half-dead man who had been rescued from the laboratory. At that time, he did not act like a person who had already stepped into a coffin with half a foot, he was crazy, bloodthirsty, and extremely agile. ”
