Chapter Twenty-Six: Homecoming
Motorbikes descend from the viaduct and drive on the Upper East Side, north of the city. A little further north is the rich area where Murong Yuhua's villa is located. There's a bar street here after dark, and based on the current scale of the zombie spread, the most dangerous place in the entire Upper East Side is probably there.
As with all virus outbreaks, the zombie virus is also the first to hit people who are wandering, and if you can make sure to stay at home and don't run around, and if you seal the windows and use wooden planks and iron bars to reinforce them, you can at least survive for a while food is not in short supply. Of course, in the middle and later stages, when food shortages force people to leave their homes, it is not so easy to escape from wandering.
The most important point for human survival is food, and there is a certain chance of being attacked by zombies after starving to death and going out, and most people are willing to take the risk of choosing the latter. It is for this reason that in the initial stage of the establishment of all fortresses, the most important thing is the cultivation of fields and animal husbandry. Food is the only way to survive.
Murong Yuhua sat in the back seat of Gu San and kept refreshing social media to get more up-to-date information. The voice of the photographer was heard on the screen: "We are still in the quarantine area, but from the very beginning, there have been sporadic gunshots. The outermost area is guarded by soldiers, and there is also an iron fence, so I don't know if the zombies are pouring here. ”
The gunfire grew more and more intense, and the speaker's voice gradually took on a panic tone.
"I don't know if I should wait or leave now, the problem is that I don't know where to go."
Murong Yuhua turned off the video, feeling his silence, Gu San asked, "You didn't send someone over?" ”
"Capital cannot interfere in the actions of the government...... Although I regret it a little now. ”
"The infected people who are sent to the medical station will start to have lesions, and the entire quarantine area will fall, and all the survivors who are still waiting for quarantine will have to face the zombies attacking from the outside world and the enemies of the lesions in the quarantine area."
Murong Yuhua's mood became heavier and heavier, and Gu San held his hand, "You can already do what you can." We have to say what we have to say, we have to do what we have to do, and sometimes you can't control other people's choices. ”
"But if I could send more cars out......"
"What if the people you sent were also attacked and died?"
Murong Yuhua was dumbfounded.
Gu San continued, "Can you take responsibility for their deaths? ”
These questions are realistic and acute enough, and they are not at all right and wrong that can be simply encompassed. Everyone will naturally have a sense of trust in the army and government medical care, and they have already passed the information within their capabilities, but being able to provide information is one thing, and it is another thing for others to accept it and fully implement it later.
By the time Murong Yuhua and Gu San arrived at the villa area, there was silence all around. The only relatively fortunate thing is that when they arrived, there were no zombies in the vicinity for the time being. The car stopped in front of the iron fence at the gate, and the security guard stood in the security booth very vigilantly and looked out. At this point in time, TV and radio have begun to broadcast the outbreak of zombies in the room on a loop, and the two of them are injured and look particularly weird.
The other party approached, and although he was a little distrustful, he still asked very politely, "Dear lady and sir, may I ask if you two have been attacked by zombies before?" The community property requires us to register the owners who are returning from an outing. Please stay home as much as possible, if anything......"
Murong Yuhua raised his hand at him and interrupted his inquiry, "We will stay at home, and my company will take over the next community security, and you will wait for the unified arrangement from above." ”
After speaking, he patted Gu San on the shoulder, all the underground parking garages in the villa complex are unrelated to each other and are not controlled. After he brushed his face in front of the surveillance, the door to the passage that belonged to his house opened.
The motorcycle drove in quickly, and in a short time disappeared into the depths of the passage underneath.
Gu San asked suspiciously, "When did you take over community security?" ”
Murong Yuhua shook his mobile phone, "Just now in the car, I arranged all the tasks for Zhu Li to solve." In addition, I specifically told my grandmother's security personnel to strengthen their guards, strengthen guards, and prevent people from entering and leaving the house in the near future to ensure the safety of the house. ”
The car entered the underground garage, and Gu San stopped the motorcycle and leaned aside. Murong Yuhua jumped down from the stool. He patted his face, as if trying to recover himself from all the painful blows he had been blowing.
"Although there are many difficulties at the moment, I believe there is still a lot of work to be done. I'm not going to be bothered by anything anymore this time. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps from the underground garage, the lights turned on from the entrance of the upper floor, and Juri was walking briskly, holding his IAD in his hand as always.
"Boss."
"How's it going?"
"According to what you said, we have acquired all the TV stations and major live broadcasts, and in addition, the situation is urgent, and we may have bought all the food processing plants and breeding bases for automated production. And speed up the production of all intelligent breeding equipment. In terms of medical donations, the factory has started ahead of schedule, and it is expected that 15,000 tempered protective clothing will be produced tomorrow afternoon, which will be sent to the city's hospital. In addition, the company's pharmaceutical companies and scientific research institutions started construction ahead of schedule, racing against time to develop zombie vaccines. ”
"Where's the weapon?"
"Since it is illegal to produce firearms in the country, I have selected a few bow and arrow manufacturers for you. At present, they have sufficient inventory, and the supply is expected to be between 100,000 and 150,000. ”
Gu San looked at Murong Yuhua in a short period of time, and he had already fought for a long time in the future
"Is there any analysis on the zombie outbreak?"
"According to satellite imagery, there is no zombie virus in other areas except the city for the time being. We have also contacted a number of branches in other places, and there are no patients with related diseases in the medical institutions there for the time being. ”
"What about traffic?"
"The whole city was locked down, the army was stationed, and martial law was carried out, but some people still fled the city at night. It is not yet certain whether the group is infected with the virus. The latest news I got is to ensure that zombies will never flow out of the city, regardless of any losses. ”
After saying this, Zhu Li's report was temporarily over, and he handed the IAD in his hand to Murong Yuhua for him to browse.
Juri pushed the door open for the two of them, and the three of them walked up the stairs to the upper floor.
"It's not possible to be 100% locked down, and in the current situation, people will spontaneously act to help themselves, and sometimes even if they are injured, they will try to flee the city and go to other places to seek better medical resources. At this time, even the military has no way to stop the sporadic citizens from fleeing, this method only slows the spread of the virus, and it is necessary to let people from the outside know the situation in the city in order to be prepared in the future. ”
After Murong Yuhua finished speaking, Gu San also added, "With the current ability of ordinary people, as long as they try to leave the city, it is difficult to retreat under the attack of zombies." ”
"Now that the horrific scene of the zombie outbreak has spread on the Internet, even if the online posts are deleted very quickly, it still can't stop millions of people from posting the facts on the Internet." Although it is still early in the morning and most people are still asleep, there are still many people who actively reply to the post and pass on relevant news to each other. ”
"Stay up late."
"Yes." Zhu Li nodded, "However, 'zombie outbreak' has become a shielding word on the Internet, and the upper echelons don't want this panic to spread across the country." If possible, perhaps they will take extreme measures to eradicate the zombie epidemic in the city. ”
"Not strange." They walked into the elevator, and Gu San sighed lightly, "Compared with ordinary infectious diseases, the zombie virus will bring stronger aggressiveness, if it is not stopped in time and spreads throughout the country, the infected will become attackers, and the age of the infected person will increase exponentially." It's almost impossible to kill by killing. ”
"With this in mind, the project team has planned to promote the 'drone delivery at home' model in the city, set up an online volunteer team, and called on more mechanical and software experts to join in order to ensure the next production efficiency."
Gu San added: "All factories must have corresponding protection mechanisms set up outside the factory, and if there is a need for human-controlled posts, it is necessary to ensure the safety of everyone's entry and exit." The sound of machinery working attracts zombies, and it's hard to be 100% safe, even in a factory in the field. ”
"This one plus."
Zhu Li nodded, and then opened another t: "In addition, we have set up a five-level protection circle for individuals, families, communities, regions, and cities, and there are still zombie epidemics in various districts, but some communities are still safe for the time being." ”
"This security is definitely temporary, we can't control the injured people to flee around, the bitten people will definitely be infected, and everyone must be informed of this situation as soon as possible to avoid a second attack."
Murong Yuhua hesitated after Gu San finished speaking, "Once you say this, most people may hide the fact that they are injured in order to ensure that they can be rescued by others." It can also cause others to be reluctant to open their doors to survivors. ”
They walked through the cellar towards the living room upstairs. Gu San stopped and said helplessly, "I'm not giving advice, Murong." The zombie virus is not cured because of the kindness of people. In fact, it is often kindness that leads to more people being infected. ”
"We can't just because some people are injured and then they will die, so that everyone can survive. We can't preach such anti-human things. ”
"Anti-human? Tell me about the zombie virus. You ask if it can at least give goodwill room to breathe. Gu San grabbed his shoulder, "You saw the reaction of the military people at the quarantine station before. ”
"But ......"
"It's not negotiable, the only thing we can do is make sure more people live...... One more person who is not infected and not injured, we have one less enemy. All enemies are swapped at once, you understand? ”
The sound of gunshots from the quarantine office sounded in Murong Yuhua's mind. He frowned and didn't look over, and muttered for a long time, and finally had to nod to Gu San, and then said to Zhu Li, "I'm going to form a new mercenary team, if this part of the risk can't be borne by ordinary people, then I'll take it." ”
Gu San looked at him in surprise, "You...... Do you know how dangerous it can be? ”
"I know. But since it is more dangerous for others, I have the money and resources, and I am willing to take on the rescue work. If there were survivors among them, I couldn't have turned them away because of my words. ”
Then Murong Yuhua asked Zhu Li again, "Tell me, is the camera set up?" ”
"It's set up, I'm waiting for you in the living room."
He stretched out his hand towards Gu San, "Are you ready?" We're going to tell the world what kind of disaster this is. ”
