Chapter 11: Wake up
In the evening, Wang Xiaoai killed the tyrant in the game, well, she played better than Zhang Zimin in the game, mainly because she was a little timid, and there was nothing she could do about children.
At this time, it was time for Zhang Zimin to smoke, and he was not addicted to smoking, but this was a habit, and he only smoked one cigarette a day.
After looking at the darkness outside the window and exhaling the last puff of cigarettes, Zhang Zimin opened his diary and wrote:
Today five units (sections) were cumulatively cleaned up and one survivor was found. On behalf of the government, I sent the first email since the cataclysm.
In addition, the fifty-seven zombies that have been killed to clean up the unit building are piled up near the garbage room, and this afternoon it has begun to stink, attracting a large number of flies even close to winter. No mutations of flies have been observed for the time being, but to be on the safe side, I burned the corpses with kerosene reserves.
It was found that the virus has anti-decay and antioxidant functions, because the skin tissue on the living corpse is no different or better than that of ordinary people, and it has not decayed. After killing the zombie's brain and causing the brain to die, it is like a virus losing its carrier, causing the corpse to decompose.
I speculate that as long as the viruses infected by living people do not cause mutations, they can also provide antioxidant and anti-other viral functions, which I am not a related professional, but does this mean that the existing living people will have a lower demand for drugs and have stronger disease resistance than before?
Now that I've been able to write my work diary here, it means that the virus isn't activated by airborne means, but it's still to be seen how bodily fluids splatter on the skin. I was careful in the process of cleaning up the zombies, but I was still stained with the blood of the corpse for about ten minutes, and I was observing myself, and there was no sign of abnormality.
Now the overall community is changing for the better, and one more living person will have more hope, but there will also be more variables.
Maybe it's a persecution delusion, or maybe it's not. Somehow, I had some bad premonitions at this time of gradual improvement. Because the sound of zombies at night is actually very small, but now in the evening breeze, I vaguely hear a more majestic hidden wail.
I'm not sure if it's my altered hearing that amplifies the resonance effect, or if there's a large crowd of corpses approaching in the distance. If it's a horde of corpses, I think it's going to be a catastrophic horde!
Wang Xiaoai was still a child, so I recruited her as a temporary worker. In the process of work, I found that in addition to her indelible nature of children, she is also very careful, and there are some small changes that surprise me, if she can last for half a year, I will authorize her to officially become a government official according to the principle of emergency.
On the evening of November 15, it was cold.
After closing the book,Began to urge the little girl to sleep.,She's not a zombie.,You can't ride a bicycle forever to play a game of the loop.。
Little Lori said she wanted to take a shower, but it didn't work, there wasn't that much water. Water is also the most difficult to store effectively.
Fortunately, this is an old-fashioned community, and the difference from high-rise houses is that the roof of such old-fashioned houses is usually equipped with solar energy, so it comes with a water tank that does not require electricity, which is usually about 200 liters, and some large water tanks are 700 liters.
Not every family has it, but most families have it, before the catastrophe, Zhang Zimin installed an extra ton of extra water tank on his own share, which sounds big but in fact there is not much, mainly for drinking.
The amount of two people, if you don't consider other water tank factors, is only enough for half a year at most.
For this matter, Zhang Zimin bought a portable military water purifier (which can be carried with him for use in the field), but the disadvantage is that according to the standard, each water purifier can only filter about two tons of water and need to be replaced. Zhang Zimin bought two hundred, which is actually not a lot.
In short, it is basically impossible to take a shower and wash clothes now. At most, about one liter a day is placed in a basin for repeated hand washing and face washing (to keep the face clean and clear and avoid being mistaken for a zombie).
Speaking of which, the virus also has a hidden benefit that it sweats a lot during work these days, plus the sweating of training, even if it is not hot in autumn, but if you don't take a bath, your body should smell a little. But no.
The so-called odor is actually bacteria.
Some people's feet smell like washing and changing socks every day, because there are no "antibodies" in sweat that can't inhibit the bacteria that produce odors. But some people don't change their shoes, don't wash their feet, don't change their socks, and there is no smell for half a month, such as Zhang Zimin's mother. It shows that her sweat is a "special antibiotic".
That's probably how it should be. Now the smell is another evidence of a virus, which causes sweat to kill those regular bacteria for local preservation. Or like lactic acid bacteria, once you occupy it first, the others can't get in. For example, the zombies seen so far are not as rotten as they were imagined in the movie.
Well, that's barely the good side of the virus.
In addition, before the catastrophe, Zhang Zimin hoarded three tons of bottled water at home (there was not enough space, and various supplies had occupied two rooms). In fact, this is rarely used as much as possible, and it is usually necessary to drink water from the tank, and bottled water is theoretically used for strategic materials in the next stage of the expedition.
Water is not hard to come by, but in the city, there are not enough people who do not have the capacity to collect water.
Therefore, the main task at this stage is not to be greedy, but also to gather survivors and rebuild order.
While thinking, he wiped the little girl's face with a wet towel and said, "Go to bed." ”
Wang Xiaoai looked in the mirror very stinky, and finally pointed to a stain on her mouth and said, "Is this the quality of your work?" Why weren't you fired from the unit before the catastrophe? ”
Zhang Zimin thought for a while and said, "This is not within the scope of my work. And this is evidence that you stole the third piece of chocolate, and I mainly don't like to destroy the crime scene. ”
"You hate it, that chocolate is my salary, and today, a nine-year-old girl, I sent the first mail of my life in the apocalypse, I thought you knew about it!"
Wang Xiaoai fell down viciously and covered her head.
Zhang Zimin pulled out the quilt to educate her, "I'm afraid you haven't heard of how my grandfather worked as a township postman in the mountains during difficult times, no horses, can't ride a bicycle in the mountains, early in the morning from the unit with enough dry food to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads, encountered rain, was trapped in the cave overnight and let the insects bite fiercely, the next day I went to the village, handed over to the illiterate and longing for the news of the old woman a letter, and read it to her." In the end, I couldn't bring her reply, because she didn't have the few penny stamps, and my grandfather didn't have either, so I could only try my best to help with a little message, which was the first generation of postal service in the Republic. You little girl is so comfortable, and you start talking about the conditions? ”
The little girl had a good conscience in the end, and after thinking about it, she said worriedly: "Your grandfather is so dangerous, he will be kidnapped and robbed in the mountains." ”
"But no, the public security soldiers of that era also worked like him, going deep into the mountains one after another, and sometimes dozens of people died in the mountains without even news. But in the end, they became the first warriors in the history of Earth to actually exterminate bandits in a single country, none of them. ”
Zhang Zimin said, "Before them, bandits had never been really eradicated in human history, but they were only legalized in disguise, or because the bandits were not angry after economic development, they did not look like bandits." ”
Wang Xiaoai didn't know how to do it.
Zhang Zimin said again: "It is precisely because the order established by the old grandfathers is no longer there, so your mother has an accident." There will only be more such things in the future, I will count half of the 'after the gate', I will try to kill a few bad people to practice my courage, take you little brat, and we will establish order together. It's not the point that you're just a kid now, but when I'm old or tired in the future, you'll be able to carry the beams. ”
"Okay."
Wang Xiaoai seemed to be happy to sleep......
In the middle of the night, there was movement again, and there was a scream in a certain direction, which was inside the community.
After waking up, I turned on the camera to watch, but because the angle was not enough, I couldn't see anything.
Zhang Zimin hurriedly got up and put on "armor", went out and went out to look at Wang Xiaoai in the room, she was crying and trembling slightly.
Zhang Zimin knew that she was afraid, but he really couldn't take her now, and said in a low voice, "Xiaoai, don't sleep, you will be more and more scared, go and play Super Mario." I'm going out for a bit. ”
"Damin, you have to be careful, if you don't come back, I won't be able to live."
Wang Xiaoai followed out and closed the door......
