The sky was overcast, and the winter wind was blowing on the face like a knife cutting the skin, and it hurt.

Zhang Yan, Yan Zhuo, and Zheng Ziye walked briskly on the road with weapons in hand, while Blade was responsible for exploring the way more than ten meters in front.

Whenever he reached the intersection, Blade would stop, deliberately running around as a live target, attracting nearby zombies, and then giving Zhang Yan time to buy them through.

At first, Zhang Yan felt that this method was too dangerous and persuaded Zheng Ziye not to do it, but Zheng Ziye was very confident in the blade and insisted on letting it show its strength.

After trying it a few times, Zhang Yan also dispelled her concerns.

The blade is indeed strong.

After all, it is a dog, and its agility and sense of smell are naturally much stronger than humans, and under the chase of that group of zombies, it can easily sneak around zombies without intelligence.

The street is bustling, but there aren't many zombies.

Because the zombies had just broken out, most of the healthy people hid in their homes or shops on the street in time, and Zhang Yan and the others walked a few hundred meters and received a lot of sight from the windows of residential buildings.

There were some soft-hearted people who looked at them with sympathetic eyes, full of hesitation, as if they wanted to help Zhang Yan and them, but in the end they didn't open their mouths for various reasons.

And Zhang Yan and they had no intention of staying, they followed the blade with a clear goal, and came to an ordinary residential community without danger along the way.

The gate of the community has long been closed, and there are some men inside who are holding weapons, staring at the situation outside the door vigilantly, from this point of view, at least the community should be safe.

And seeing Blade and Zheng Ziye, those who were originally vigilant suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on their faces.

One of the middle-aged men slowly unlocked the gate and stared at Zhang Yan and Yan Zhuo with inquiring eyes:

"Xiao Zheng is back? I'll just say, you're going to be fine with a dog as smart as Blade. These two people are ......"

Zheng Ziye still had an ice cube face, and said lightly:

"My friend."

The middle-aged man let out an "oh" and couldn't help asking:

"You're not ...... by the people out there. The patient bites, right? I don't know what's going on, so many people have become monsters after being bitten, alas......"

Zheng Ziye shook his head:

"I haven't been bitten, Uncle Li, don't worry."

This Uncle Li interrogated for a long time before he finally put his mind at ease, opened the door, and let Zheng Ziye and the others in.

The security guards of this community have always been very conscientious, and when they found that there was a problem, they immediately blocked the two gates of the community, and some people were responsible for patrolling near the fence of the community, which ensured the safety of the community.

As a soldier, Zheng Ziye firmly believes that the government will protect civilians, so he proposes to go to his house and hide for a while.

And Zhang Yan and Yan Zhuo had nowhere to go anyway, so they simply agreed, and it was much safer to follow Zheng Ziye, a local, than for them to run around.

The community is still stable for the time being, there are not too many people panicking, and most people are hiding in their homes, and there is silence.

But those terrible cries outside the community can still touch people's nerves and make people feel creepy.

Zhang Yan also has some dependence on the government, hoping that the government can come forward as soon as possible, although it cannot reverse the situation, at least relieve the pressure.

After all, the rules of the game are clear - the only one who can reverse the end is the reincarnation.

When Zheng Ziye took Zhang Yan and Yan Zhuo to the downstairs of his unit, Zhang Yan was attracted by an old man at the entrance of the building.

The old man sat in the cold wind in a torn cotton jacket, and looked to be at least eighty years old, with goosebumps and cloudy eyes.

The reason why Zhang Yan was attracted to him was because he was staring at her, and that gaze made her hairy.

Zhang Yan is not very good at socializing with people, and she has no topic with the elderly, she stared at the old man for three seconds, then frowned and turned her head, pretending not to see him.

But when Zhang Yan passed by the old man, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, he stood up suddenly, and shouted hoarsely-

"It's them! That's them! Those dogs/day devils! It was the gas bomb they planted that leaked again! How else is this going on? Yes?! Tell me, how to explain this! ”

The old man's sudden voice startled Zhang Yan, and she hurriedly hid in the corridor and stayed away from him.

Yan Zhuo was thoughtful and smiled slightly:

"Is this a hint?"

Hearing Yan Zhuo's words, Zhang Yan was thoughtful.

Zheng Ziye didn't know the identities of the reincarnators of the two, and he didn't think much about it, just snorted coldly:

"Nothing at all. This old man is a madman, he has been crazy for more than 20 years, and he has shouted this sentence every day all these years, and not a word is bad. ”

Zhang Yan and Yan Zhuo glanced at each other, neither of them said anything, and continued to follow Zheng Ziye upstairs.

Zheng Ziye's family lived on the third floor, with two bedrooms, and Zheng Ziye insisted that the two guests, Zhang Yan and Yan Zhuo, sleep in the two bedrooms, while he and Blade slept in the living room.

Although Zheng Ziye looks cold, he is actually a warm and careful person.

After arranging Zhang Yan and Yan Zhuo, Zheng Ziye turned out a radio and began to patiently tune the frequency.

None of them were received, and the radio was always filled with annoying hissing sounds.

But Zheng Ziye didn't complain, and still debugged with a blank face......

Yan Zhuo in the master bedroom and Zhang Yan in the guest bedroom hid in their respective rooms thinking about what to do next.

Half an hour later, almost at the same time, Zhang Yan and Yan Zhuo opened their respective doors one after the other.

Zheng Ziye glanced at them, lowered his head and continued to adjust the radio.

Zhang Yan and Yan Zhuo walked towards the door very tacitly, but neither of them explained where they were going.

Only Zheng Ziye didn't raise his head and threw away a sentence:

"It's dark in two hours, stay safe."

Yan Zhuo squinted and smiled:

"Thanks, we'll be back shortly."

And when Yan Zhuo said this, Zhang Yan had already closed the door and left, running all the way downstairs.

I don't know if it's because Yan Zhuo reminded her, she cares very much about what the old man said.

When he came downstairs, Zhang Yan saw that the old man was still sitting at the staircase on the first floor, and the snowflakes had fallen on him in a thin layer, but he was unaware.

Zhang Yan stood beside the old man and observed him silently.

After a while, Yan Zhuo also came, and his target was obviously this old man.

Zhang Yan was a passive type waiting for the old man to speak, and Yan Zhuo was an active type, with a harmless smile from humans and animals, he asked the old man gently:

"Uncle, tell us the story of the gas bomb?"

Hearing the words "poison gas bomb", the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he came to his senses, staring at Yan Zhuo and muttering sentence by sentence-

"People who are not in good health are sick first......"

“…… Some people are in good health, but they are slow to get sick, they look similar to normal people, but if they are bitten by the sick person, the virus in the body will change from dead to alive......"

"Everyone in Bohai City has the virus on them! The virus has been dormant for decades, and it has finally broken out! ”

"It was the explosion in '44...... At that time, everyone was fine, but everyone was actually sick...... They are all sick...... That's what the M560 virus looked like, I was in the institute at the time, and I remember it very clearly......"

After saying these words, the old man was suddenly silent, his eyes clouded, and he roared angrily to the sky—

"It's them! That's them! Those dogs/day devils! It was the gas bomb they planted that leaked again! How else is this going on? Yes?! Tell me, how to explain this! ”

Zhang Yan was shocked in her heart - his words were really the same as the one he said when I met him for the first time before.

Maybe this old man is indeed a madman, this sentence has been repeated for decades, so Zheng Ziye doesn't take him seriously.

But when Zhang Yan listened to the old man's chaotic narration and heard this sentence again, she suddenly felt like she had been hit with a stick, and she seemed to understand a lot of things at once.

She was at a loss, but Yan Zhuo seemed to have sorted out the content at once.

Yan Zhuo's face suddenly turned cold, and he grabbed Zhang Yan's arm and ran upstairs-

"Hurry up and get ready. M560 virus, I've heard of this. ”

Zhang Yan frowned and followed Yan Zhuo back to Zheng Ziye's house.

What a madman said may not be trustworthy, but what he said was the truth, and even the name of the virus was said, and Yan Zhuo actually knew this virus, which really made people feel dangerous.

It's better to believe it.

When Zhang Yan and Yan Zhuo knocked on the door, they saw Zheng Ziye's ice cube actually having some smiles on his face.

Zheng Ziye pointed to the radio on the coffee table:

"Signal."

Closing the door shut, the three of them sat on the couch, listening intently to the sound coming out of the radio.

A sweet female voice on the radio repeated the following words—

"Hello citizens of Bohai City, through the latest news from the CDC, we learned that this outbreak of the epidemic was caused by the M560 virus left behind by the Japanese army.

Please don't panic, hide at home, and don't go out! Believe the government, the army will immediately clean up the streets of the sick.

Those who have been bitten are asked to apply for quarantine after the presence of the soldiers, and those who do not consciously apply for quarantine will be regarded as disturbing social order and will be killed after being caught, regardless of whether they are sick or not.

M560 is a very dangerous virus, please take it seriously and do not take any chances.

Now, I'm starting to educate you about the specific symptoms of the M560 virus.

The M560 is divided into four phases.

The first stage: less than 10 minutes of infection, the virus in the body multiplies rapidly, and other physiological functions are the same as healthy people, and the intelligence will not change too obviously, but it is also contagious, which is the most difficult stage to prevent from.

Stage 2: 10 minutes to 10 days after infection, the blood circulation system, digestive system, and nervous system begin to collapse, and the infected person will be completely autopsied, and his intelligence will disappear, replaced by pure instinct, relying on human flesh to maintain the energy required by the body.

Stage 3: After 10-25 days of infection, the effect of eating human flesh to replenish energy will become weaker and weaker, so the infected person will choose to increase the amount of food, at this time the infected person is the most aggressive, the fastest, and the most hungry.

Stage 4: After 25-30 days of infection, the consumption of human flesh will completely no longer provide the energy needed for the activity of the infected person, and the infected person will quickly weaken and eventually starve to death.

As long as you survive a month, the dark days will pass, please follow the order, repeat again, do not wander outside! ”
