Chapter 3: Urban Survivors
When Cao Yin woke up again, he found himself lying on a hard bed, and the large and open room was clearly a classroom with many desks on display. On the chair next to the bed sat a young man, dressed in a light blue hoodie and with an unpredictable smile on his round ruddy face.
"Hmm, where am I?" Cao Yin sat up, the impact of the explosion still echoing in his mind, causing him to feel dizzy, "I remember that it seemed to have exploded...... Hey, where did those mercenaries go? ”
"Xiaoyu, come here, big brother is awake!" The squinting man didn't even look at Cao Yin, he stood up and said to the air in front of him, "Yesterday we set up an ambush and blew up the helicopter of the group of mercenaries on the roof of the Imperial Shadow Medical Department, and the mercenaries were also solved by us, if they escaped, it would be a big trouble." ”
"Why are you ambushing them," Cao Yin asked, rubbing his temples, "Do you have a grudge against them?" ”
"Of course it's to rescue you," the squinting man clasped his hands to his chest and said slowly, "Those Eagle Dogs of the Emperor Shadow Group are not a good thing, and I won't feel guilty about killing them." ”
"Rescue me?" Cao Yin was moved and a little puzzled, "We don't seem to know each other." ”
"It's normal that you don't know me, in fact, I don't know you either, but you can trust me, I'm the leader here, and I have the final say on everything here."
At this time, a woman opened Cao Yin's door and leaned in, carrying a box of steaming food in her hand, and her eyes happened to meet Cao Yin, who was a little confused.
This young woman has a very attractive face, a large golden wave is very eye-catching, her bright eyes reveal a sharp gaze like a falcon, and her coat is a loose and casual green plaid shirt, but it still does not hide her pretty and colorful figure.
Cao Yin saw that she looked charming, and unconsciously looked at her a few more times, and when she found that the woman's eyes were on her own, she quickly removed her gaze from her body, but then her stomach growled, and the hunger in her stomach hit like a tide. In the sleeping room, catheters are probably used to maintain body functions. At this moment, the hot meal exuded a tangy aroma, constantly stirring up his appetite, and he felt that if he ate it with his belly open, he could eat a whole pig.
"Big brother looks so thin, he looks like he hasn't eaten for a long time, now you can have a full meal, although it's not a delicacy, Xiaoyu, you quickly give me the box lunch, and I'll feed him." Li Yehua smiled and stretched out his hand towards Chen Yutu.
Chen Yutu squinted at Li Yehua, and then handed the lunch box to Cao Yin: "You eat it yourself, he can't see anything, be careful to feed the rice to your eyes." ”
It turned out that this man was a blind man, and what kind of team leader he was, Cao Yin was very curious about how a disabled person who had problems taking care of himself in his life could become the support of everyone.
Chen Yutu looked at Cao Yin, who had blank eyes, and asked in a gentle tone, "Little brother, what's your name?" ”
"My name is Cao Yin, thank you for saving me." Cao Yin said, he looked at his hands, the metal bracelet had been removed, these people must have some clever means, and they also carried guns and ammunition, in a city occupied by zombies, having these things means a higher survival rate.
"You're welcome, this is what we should do," Chen Yutu replied boldly, she sat on the edge of Cao Yin's bed, crossed Erlang's legs, and continued, "My name is Chen Yutu, this fat man's name is Li Yehua, he is blind, but you don't have to pity him, this guy is very capable." ”
"How do you speak, Adjutant Chen," Li Yehua hurriedly said, "You really treat me as a normal person, I need everyone's special care, you see I lost all my cane, and no one picked it up for me!" ”
"Because everyone now knows that your cane is for pretending," Chen Yutu replied mercilessly, "and you have gone to great lengths to make a cane sword, do you think you are a blind swordsman, and whether you can use it every day." ”
"Hehe, there's such a thing, what do you do?" Cao Yin asked tentatively, in the face of these people of unknown origin, even if he saved himself, he couldn't fully open his heart and relax.
"We are survivors of Jianghua City, this building is one of our strongholds, the main teaching building of Jianghua University, the entrance and exit of the first floor of this building have been blocked by us, and our brothers are guarding the second floor and the top floor, zombies will definitely not be able to enter, you can lie down with confidence."
"This is Ganghwa University?" Cao Yin looked up at the blackboard on the opposite wall, on which there was still a class board book, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, he couldn't imagine that the first time he came to Jianghua University, it would be like this, and now the campus has been abandoned, and it is basically impossible to return to the campus to study.
"This building is home to a lot of survivors of the disaster, and everyone wants to survive, but there is only a chance of survival if they are united, especially in a place like this harsh environment and lack of resources." Chen Yutu said, "This is the food allocated to you today, and now our food is not in short supply, you can eat a good meal and then talk about it." ”
Cao Yin really felt very hungry, and after taking the lunch box, he devoured it, even if the food was still a little hot, he didn't care, and he couldn't wait to chew the packed lunch box and spoon.
This is just an extremely ordinary box of quick hot instant rice, not fresh, nor delicious, but the hungry Cao Yin felt that it was extremely delicious, and his greedy and selfless chewing of the food made him bite his lip and tongue several times, and he ate the long-lost meal in pain and happiness.
"You should have seen those guys on the street who are not human or ghost, how about it, don't you think it's scary, those are all fake zombies, they pounce when they see people, bite when they pounce, and it will be tragic if you bite you." Li Yehua said calmly, as if these terrifying monsters only existed in the virtual world.
Cao Yin had just finished eating, and he was still a little unsatisfied, licking his lips and asking, "I take the liberty of asking, do you have instant noodles here?" ”
Li Yehua smiled and took the finished packaging box from Cao Yin's hand, and threw it into the garbage basket in the corner, Cao Yin was very surprised, isn't this person blind, the action just now can be done by a blind man?
"I'm sorry, big brother," Li Yehua said, "The food in this building is strictly distributed according to the management system, after all, there are hundreds of people, even as a leader, I am no exception, if you want to eat, you can wait until the next meal, I can also help you apply for a sausage." ”
Cao Yin was also quickly relieved after hearing this, according to the current situation, hoarded food is an extremely important survival resource, and if you want to survive in a city full of zombies, food distribution management is very important, especially for a group with a large population.
At this time, Chen Yutu said to Cao Yin in a slightly serious tone: "Our doctor gave you a more detailed physical examination when you were unconscious, and came to the conclusion that there is basically no major problem, so for the sake of everyone's interests, I must explain the situation to you and show you the way out." ”
"Yes, you can say it."
"The city has been completely blockaded by the army, and it is more difficult to leave Jianghua City than to ascend to the sky," Chen Yutu said, "To be precise, it is quarantined, in order to prevent zombies carrying radiation sources from running to other cities, so that the residents of other cities will not suffer." ”
"You mean zombies are caused by radiation?"
Chen Yutu nodded: "The official explanation given is that radiation causes corpse transformation, as for the source of radiation...... Do you remember that red meteorite last summer? ”
Of course, Cao Yin remembers, and remembers it vividly: on a midsummer night, a bright red fireball pierced the dark and deep night sky in a very strange arc, and made a thunderous explosion between the mountains in the west, at that moment, Cao Yin seemed to hear the wails and cries of countless people.
At that time, Cao Yin was still in front of the computer all night watching dramas, and after inadvertently witnessing this shocking scene, he no longer had the heart to stay in front of the computer, and the red light that kept flickering between the distant mountains and forests actually dragged his consciousness into a very strange dream.
Although the content of the dream had long been forgotten, Cao Yin remembered very clearly that the next morning, he found himself in a cold sweat and soaked the sheets.
Cao Yin's blood disease also began to appear a few days after the meteorite fell from the sky, so Cao Yin regarded the blood-red meteorite as a bad omen.
Cao Shumin was inexplicably interested in the meteorite, and the next day he dragged himself to Xiling Mountain to watch people salvage meteorite fragments in the lake.
"That meteorite still has radiation?" Cao Yin thought like this, and suddenly felt afraid, "No wonder that group of salvage workers wore very strict protective clothing, fortunately, Cao Shumin did not have the same symptoms as himself later, and his blood disease turned out to be caused by meteorite radiation!" ”
"No, if ......it's really as you say," Cao Yin said, "Why didn't I become a zombie, didn't you say that zombies were caused by meteorite radiation?" ”
Chen Yutu said: "After the human body is eroded by enough radiation, hematopoietic stem cells will mutate suddenly, and the differentiated special blood cells will continue to multiply malignantly, and gradually accumulate in the cerebral cortex along the circulatory system, forming tumors with nerve centers, and rooted in the brain. ”
"Could it be that I have a tumor in my brain too?" Cao Yin thought worriedly, "What this woman said is too outrageous, I have never heard of this kind of radiation mutation before. ”
Chen Yutu continued: "When the degree of adaptation between the blood teratoma and the brain nerve is too low, the blood teratoma will seize the power of the brain to dominate the body, and at the same time plunder the nutrients absorbed by the brain, and finally the brain will completely die, and the blood teratoma will become a new brain, driving the dead body to continue to move, looking for the flesh and blood of the living as nutrients. ”
"So what if the level of adaptation is high enough?" Cao Yin asked.
"Blood teratoma and the brain tend to assimilate and complement each other," Chen Yutu stared at Cao Yin's face and said meaningfully, "The brain actively provides nutrients for blood teratoma, and in return, blood teratoma will activate the potential functions of the human body and awaken unexpected special abilities, which we call 'blood teratogenesis'." ”
"Hehe, it's incredible," Cao Yin touched the tip of his nose and said, "You want to say that in fact, I am a radiation infected person who has awakened the 'blood deformity trait'?" It's hard for me to be convinced, because I've been dormant ever since, and I've always felt like a normal person. ”
"I can say such a thing, it will definitely not be unfounded," Chen Yutu suddenly closed her eyes at this time, and when she opened her eyes again, the original brown pupils instantly turned into a striking blood red, like two crystal clear rubies, and when she looked closely, her eyes were still radiating red cracks around her face.
"'Red Snake Eyes'," Chen Yutu blinked his bright red eyes and said, "The blood deformity I awakened is not a cosplay contact lenses, you can see it." ”
Chen Yutu took out a small dagger at this time, stared straight at Cao Yin, raised his hand suddenly, and threw the dagger back, and with a bang, the tip of the dagger was deeply pierced into the door panel with the paper sheet.
"Ah, your hand strength is really strong, it seems that you have practiced for a long time," Cao Yin said, "but this is nothing magical, right?" ”
Li Yehua patted Cao Yin's shoulder and said, "Brother, why don't you get up and go over and see what the dagger has hit." ”
Cao Yin really got out of bed immediately, walked to the door to observe what was wrong with the dagger pierced into the door panel, the place where the dagger pierced was pasted with the yellowed class schedule, and felt that there was nothing to be surprised about, so he let out a soft sneer.
After Chen Yutu saw Cao Yin's slightly contemptuous smile, he raised his eyebrows unhappily and said, "Little brother, it's not too late to laugh when you open that piece of paper." ”
Cao Yin immediately did so, and when he tore open the class schedule, he was stunned and stunned in place, this little dagger actually nailed a gecko to the door panel impartially!
