Chapter 246: Night and Light (Subscription Requested)
From entering this apocalyptic mission to the present, Shen Feng has not seen a living human being, and there are only ruins and zombies as far as his eyes can see.
Maybe all the humans in this world have been wiped out?
Is this one reason why "saving human civilization" has become optional?
But he didn't dare to take the risk.
The current gargoyle virus can still infect humans, and if there are really humans who survive, and instead of being eaten by zombies, they are turned into stone statues by the gargoyle virus, it will be too miserable.
So all he had to do now was to grow the gargoyle virus in his hand into a virus that only targets zombies.
It's going to be a slow process and there's no rush.
"Goo......" There was a gut sound in his stomach.
Hungry.
Throwing the backpack to the ground, Shen Feng sat directly on the ground, began to take out some ingredients from the bag, and there was a solid alcohol stove and a small frying pan, and began to prepare for cooking.
After going through several apocalyptic missions, he knows that a good mental and physical state is the fundamental prerequisite for living and completing the mission.
A hot meal is definitely the best double solace for both mind and body.
The oil is smoking in the pan, and the ham is wrapped in egg mixture, and the spoon is turned over several times, and the golden egg liquid wraps the ham slices, and the aroma is overflowing.
Pour the ham omelette into the lunch box, continue to put oil in the pan, put the previously cooked beef brisket into the pot and stir-fry, then put the chopped tomato slices, start to boil, and when it is almost done, add water, tomato sauce and salt, cover the lid and slowly boil.
The aroma of the simplified version of the stewed beef brisket with tomatoes gradually spreads, and the air is filled with the smell of tomato and beef.
The silicon-based frame on his chest flutters slightly, and a melodious Mexican song plays.
When the brisket was almost stewed, Shen Feng turned off the heat, opened the lid, and the rich aroma of tomato brisket came to his face, he took a deep breath, put a little in a spoon, and put it in his mouth after blowing it cool, and couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction.
Then he took out a steamed bun, broke it into small pieces and threw it into the pot.
The snow-white steamed buns quickly absorb the soup of the tomato brisket and turn a golden red, which makes people appetize.
It was already evening, the sun was about to set, and the sky was full of fiery clouds, and the ruins of the city and the huge tower in the distance were spectacular.
The colorful scenery is accompanied by soft Mexican love songs, and the dilapidated post-apocalyptic scenes, which are very apocalyptic style.
Shen Feng walked to the parapet on the rooftop, raised one foot and stepped on the parapet, holding a plate and looking towards the streets of Mexico City while picking up vegetables with chopsticks.
The zombies roaming the streets gradually slowed down, and as the sunlight faded away, they even began to stand still, falling into standing dormancy.
Even the giant tower in the middle of the city in the distance was also silent at this time, and the dancing limbs on the surface were also quiet at this time.
The circle of eyes resembled a detection device, and it no longer turned.
Taking a bite of the brisket, Shen Feng nodded slightly.
The reason why he cooked and rested until it was dark was not only to really need to rest, but also to wait until this moment to verify his previous judgment:
One source of energy for the highly mutated zombies to stay active is sunlight!
Their skin is meshed and mutated after enrichment of metallic elements, more like a solar panel than for defense.
A more advanced, thinner and lighter solar absorption system.
This is one reason why the zombies on the streets are more alive than the zombies in the buildings.
Of course, this only explains one channel of the zombies' energy source, but not their own source of material loss.
Fortunately, it is also a step forward.
Unlike those "skinners" who encountered in the apocalypse of the stone statue before, hiding during the day and active at night, these zombies in the apocalypse of Resident Evil are all energetic during the day and go into hibernation at night.
After all, it is solar energy "power supply", and the energy storage is estimated to be poor, and it is easy to run out of power at night.
By the time Shen Feng finished eating, he dipped the soup of tomato and beef brisket with the remaining steamed buns, and put away the tableware properly, and it was already completely dark.
It was a cloudy day, and there was not the slightest light in the sky.
The whole city has been without power for a long time, there are no lights, and the cloudy nights without human activity are pure darkness.
The darkness that was as thick as ink could not be dissolved, enveloping the entire city in it, and Shen Feng completely felt what it meant to be unable to see his fingers.
Even his mutated body couldn't see much, and could only see a little outline around him through a glimmer of light that was almost intangible.
The zombies also seemed to have stopped moving, barely audible except for the sound of the wind and garbage debris rolling on the ground.
It was as if the whole world stood still.
It's dark......
Shen Feng sighed in his heart, and the music played on the chest speaker had already been turned off.
Otherwise, in this silent dark city, the sound of music is too obvious, and it is easy to become a target.
He took out the night vision goggles from his backpack and put them on, finally being able to see his surroundings clearly.
Prepare to touch back from the entrance to the rooftop and descend from the elevator patio to the ground.
At this moment, on a street in the distance, a light suddenly flashed!
There is light!
Shen Feng immediately took off the night vision device and looked at it intently, the light just now was fleeting and disappeared, as if it had never existed.
But he didn't relax in the slightest, but continued to wait, and after about a dozen seconds, another light flashed on the street, and then disappeared again.
With the naked eye, the light was very clear in the darkness.
This time, the position was completely different from just now, and it had advanced more than ten meters.
After waiting a little longer, the light flashed again, and the position it was in advanced again.
Shen Feng waited for a few minutes, and the light flashed every once in a while, and finally stopped in front of a certain building, and then the light began to flicker from time to time in that building.
During the day, Shen Feng had used a telescope to observe the area, and the building seemed to be a large supermarket.
Zombies are less active at night and apparently don't need much light.
The appearance of this light only shows one thing.
There are still people alive.
Shen Feng couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
The vitality of human beings is really more tenacious than cockroaches, and I didn't expect that in the world that the Lord of the Void had already occupied, there were still human beings surviving.
Of course, judging from the previous spread of evil spirit virus infection, basically no one is immune to virus infection.
There is only one possibility for those who survive - the immune.
Only those who are born immune can survive this terrible viral infection.
At this moment, another street in the darkness of Mexico City also flashed with light, this time it seemed to be a much fainter flashlight of a flashlight, which did not disappear, but was always there, heading in a certain direction.
Survivors are not singular.
These survivors apparently hid in various buildings during the day, avoiding the most active time of the zombies, and only went out at night to find food or various necessities.
For these survivors, one or perhaps the only benefit of the outbreak is that it has come so quickly that the vast majority of people have not even reacted to the infection and have not even had time to hoard and loot supplies.
As a result, supermarkets and various stores still have a large amount of supplies to keep the few survivors alive.
There are 20 million people in Mexico City, and even if the number of people who are immunized is 1 in 10,000, more than 2,000 people will survive.
There may be people who haven't had time to get infected.
After all, virus spore fog also has dead ends, and it is not ubiquitous.
Secretly there may be people with night vision devices who are moving, or huddled in their shelters, afraid to step out of their homes.
Shen Feng put on the night vision device again, returned to the elevator patio along the way he came, grabbed the steel cable and began to descend.
The neighborhoods with light just now were far away from him, and he wasn't ready to look for these survivors for the time being, after all, there was more important things to do.
It is enough to know that the flame of human civilization has not been extinguished.
Of course, with the content of his investigator's mission, it is necessary to contact these survivors and learn about the situation from them in the future.
Falling to the ground cautiously, Shen Feng walked out of the darkness and came to the street.
In the night vision device, among the shops and buildings on both sides of the street, there are many figures standing at this time.
It was a zombie that had gone into hibernation.
Shen Feng held a pistol equipped with a silencer, lightened his steps and breathing, passed through the street at a uniform speed in the dark, first came to a shop on the corner, entered through the broken glass door, and began to look for provisions.
At this time, there are three zombies in the store that are dormant, one of them wearing the uniform of the clerk.
Shen Feng hadn't alarmed them when he first entered the door, and when he took a few steps forward, the clerk zombie instantly opened his eyes, he had already been alarmed by Shen Feng, and then he didn't even make a sound, he opened his mouth full of broken teeth and smelled like it, and pounced on Shen Feng.
Shen Feng was expressionless, raised the gun against the clerk's mouth, and pulled the trigger.
A soft sound of "chirp" shot the head of the clerk's zombie.
At this time, the other two zombies also woke up, but before they could move, they had already been pierced through their brains by Shen Feng's two point shots.
After dealing with the zombies in the store, Shen Feng first checked around the room with a gun to make sure that there were no other zombies, and then began to look for supplies.
The vast majority of people mutated in a very short period of time, and the government most likely blocked the news in advance, and the vast majority of the goods in the store were still on the shelves.
Judging by the level of spoilage of some food, the end of this world should have only happened for a year or two.
In addition to fresh fruits and vegetables, almost all vacuum-packed foods can be eaten.
Shen Feng quickly picked out some cookies, bread, ramen noodles and other instant food, as well as a lot of canned food, took a few bottles of whiskey and brandy, and put them into a new backpack.
After thinking about it, he grabbed a few comic books, and then walked out of the store and continued to walk in the dark.
Walking all the way to the private hospital, Shen Feng went in and out of the street shop from time to time, or took a few clothes, or some necessities, and even took a Nintendo NS handheld as entertainment.
After all, this research will take a long time, and we must be prepared for long-term operations.
The zombies on the road all fell into hibernation, and the occasional zombie who was awakened was quickly dealt with by Shen Feng without causing a big commotion.
After coming to the private hospital, he did not clean up the zombies all the way up, but climbed directly from the outer wall to the virus laboratory on the fifth floor.
Climbing in through the window and entering the corridor, there were also several zombies dormant here, affected by Shen Feng's breath, and woke up immediately, screaming and about to pounce.
Shen Feng directly opened the failed electronic door of the virus laboratory and rushed in, quickly checked around, and found that there were no zombies inside.
Immediately returned to the door, opened the heavy metal door through a gap that only allowed one person to pass through, and suddenly grabbed the arm of a zombie, dragging the zombie into the laboratory.
Before the zombies outside could react, they were already blocked again.
The zombie who was dragged in by Shen Feng was still wearing a pink nurse's uniform, and it looked like a girl, but at this time, she directly pounced on his body and frantically bit and gnawed, but only broke a few of her teeth.
Shen Feng directly took the zombie nurse to the innermost part of the virus laboratory, and the zombie nurse dragged him off his body, pressed it on the test bed, and tied his limbs again.
Touching his neck, which was gnawed all over the tooth marks, Shen Feng couldn't help but feel a little painful.
After recovering from the petrified state later, there will definitely be a few openings here.
It was pitch black in the virus lab, save for the screams and struggles of the zombie nurses.
Shen Feng first closed all the windows firmly and closed the curtains.
Then, with the information he had found before, he went to the power distribution system next to the outer wall for a while, switched the power supply line of the laboratory from the power supply company system to the hospital's own solar power supply system, and then took off the night vision device and pressed the button.
The lights in the lab suddenly lit up, illuminating the place.
He couldn't help but nod in relief.
The previous homework was not done in vain, and the private hospital still uses a solar power module invented by Musk's company as a backup power source.
This thing has always been durable, and sure enough, it still works.
There were no people in this laboratory at the time of the outbreak, and the equipment inside was in good condition, with some dust at best.
Shen Feng took a rag and wiped down several important analytical instruments and equipment, and then took out the two glass bottles he had purchased in Mexico City from his backpack.
One is the evil spirit virus and the other is the gargoyle virus.
Then he raised his arm and said to the bracelet:
"Investigation Status:
Preparing to start the virus analysis experiment, there are two main items:
1. The Doomsday World Evil Spirit Virus is similar and different from the original Doomsday World Evil Spirit Virus.
2. The effect of the gargoyle virus on zombies, and whether it has a repulsive reaction with the evil spirit virus. ”
Then he came to the zombie nurse and cut open the skin of her arm with a scalpel, removing a black-red blood clot from the coagulated vessel.
