Chapter 72: Mosquito-borne Viruses
The next day, the meeting did not take place, and until noon, Yu Yan and Huang Qiang had not returned.
According to reason, there will be no problem, both of them are level five, and Yu Yan may go out on a trip, and he will already be a level six character, not a rookie.
Moreover, the equipment is not simple, both of them are equipped with ten magazines and automatic rifles, and there are very few things in this world that can hurt the two of them together.
But Zhang Zhi decided to go to this world in person, this world can no longer be inferred by common sense, and even he has encountered danger several times. So this morning, Zhang Zhi drove a truck and set off along the national highway that Yu Yan and the others took, preparing to go to Shaoshi again.
Shao City, it is the thirty-six-story building where Zhang Zhi fought with the green-skinned monster, on the seventeenth floor, in a closed room, two figures, one large and one small, were lying on the ground, and there was a banging sound outside the door.
These two people are Yu Yan and Huang Qiang. It's just that at this time, the two of them were lying on the ground, and they only had the breath out, and there was no breath in.
"Uncle Qiang, will we die here, those zombies outside don't know what medicine they have taken yet, how do I feel like they have been beaten with chicken blood, so strong." Yu Yan was like a gossamer, with three or four red packets on her face. After saying that, his whole body trembled, his whole body twitched, and he twitched four or five times.
"How? Can't control it again? This is a manifestation of dengue fever, but it is much more powerful than the ordinary dengue virus, and the mosquito that bites you should mutate a few times. ”
Huang Qiang barely got up, stretched out his hand and tried it on Yu Yan's forehead: "It's so hot!" This should have been over 41 degrees, and if you were an ordinary person, you would have burned to death. ”
"I'm sorry, Uncle Qiang, I have affected you, and you have been infected, we are afraid that we will not be able to endure it for long, doesn't it mean that our immune function can be immune to the virus, how can it be like this." Yu Yan's eyes were a little sluggish, alternating between hot and cold, making his body gradually weaker. It's not that the zombies become stronger, but that their own strength becomes weaker.
"This dengue virus has mutated, level 1 immunity only has a certain immune effect against some viruses, bacteria, and terrestrial toxins, we have to go out, but tens of thousands of zombies were introduced into the building by us, and there is no way to escape, we are afraid that it will be difficult to survive this level this time."
Huang Qiang said, and also shuddered, his already blood-red eyes were now losing their luster and looking even more tired.
It turned out that they came to look for Zhang Zhi yesterday and found the eighteenth basement floor of this building, and went down from the ventilation hole where Zhang Zhi left, but they followed the clues to find here, but they didn't expect that when they were in the sewer, Yu Yan was bitten by a mosquito.
A mosquito, even if it is mutated, of course, can't escape the fate of being shot to death, but then, Yu Yan began to slowly lose her immunity, and her body became weak.
It just so happened that they encountered a large group of zombies again, and after escaping into the building, they never had a chance to get out.
At this time, outside the building, there were three layers of zombies inside and three layers outside, densely packed, full of thirty or forty thousand.
What's even more terrifying is that fifth-level zombies began to appear among these zombies, and as far as Huang Qiang saw, there were more than nine.
Yu Yan was promoted to level six at a critical moment this morning, but her physical growth was only relieved for half a day, and even more unfortunately, now Huang Qiang has also begun to be infected and has symptoms of high fever.
Huang Qiang has rich experience in survival, and at a glance, he knew that Yu Yan was infected with dengue virus, and it was not ordinary dengue fever, it must be a mutant species. Because of common dengue fever, there is an incubation period of a few days, and the onset is not so fast, and it is not so ferocious.
But Huang Qiang did not leave Yu Yan and fled alone, during this period, he had a chance.
At this time, it was already noon, and the dry food brought by the two of them was almost finished, and despair was gradually approaching.
Every few minutes, Huang Qiang has to go to the window to take a look, he still has a little expectation in his heart, the two of them have not returned overnight, even if it is a trivial matter that the two of them have not returned, but Zhang Zhi has not gone back, and the rest of the team should also find it.
Suddenly, Huang Qiang, who was lying on the windowsill, found something unusual, the zombies downstairs were surging in one direction like crazy, and then took a closer look, a figure brandished a big stick, and was rushing to kill in the zombie group, like a killing god descending into the world.
"It's coming! He's coming! Huang Qiang's heart was excited, as if he had seen a savior, and unconsciously, he had already regarded Zhang Zhi as an omnipotent figure in his heart.
"Who?" Yu Yan asked weakly.
"Him! Zhang Zhi! Brother Zhi is here! Although Huang Qiang is more than 20 years older than Zhang Zhi, he is also used to calling him Brother Zhi.
Yu Yan's eyes flashed, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he suddenly got up from the ground and climbed to the windowsill.
"Brother Zhi! Brother Zhi! Yu Yan shouted twice, but the voice seemed to be stuck by something, there was no volume at all, and even Zhang Zhi's ears couldn't hear any sound.
Yu Yan was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Huang Qiang had an idea, picked up the automatic rifle, and fired three shots outward.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sound of gunfire attracted Zhang Zhi's attention, and he turned his head to follow the sound to look over, but heard Huang Qiang shouting on the seventeenth floor: "Brother Zhi'er! Here, here we are, can't get out, seventeenth floor! ”
Seeing Yu Yan's little head and Huang Qiang's upper body, Zhang Zhi's hanging heart relaxed, and shouted: "Wait!" I'll be there soon! ”
With this sentence, Yu Yan seems to be half better, I don't know when Zhang Zhi has become the pillar of his heart.
Next, Zhang Zhi no longer entangled with zombies, but let him climb the window and jump up like a green-skinned monster, he couldn't do it, he could only honestly enter the building, step by step from the fire ladder, and it took half an hour to reach the seventeenth floor.
Looking at the appearance of Yu Yan and Huang Qiang, Zhang Zhi was shocked, he had already understood what the situation was, this is a common thing in the dream world.
But at this time it must be asked, he cannot appear to be omniscient.
Huang Qiang told what happened, Yu Yan was bitter, a little embarrassed, this matter was a little embarrassing, he was made like this by mosquitoes.
"Let's go, I'll take you out of here, and I'll figure it out when I go back."
Next, Zhang Zhi took the lead, Huang Qiang supported Yu Yan, and the three of them finally returned to the villa area of Orange Island in the afternoon.
Back in the villa area, Yu Yan fell, Huang Qiang also fell, and the two became sick numbers, with a high fever, and the lymph nodes were also swollen badly, looking a little hideous and terrifying.
After doing a good job of isolating the two of them, Zhang Zhi walked to the room alone, and his face became extremely unsightly.
In his previous life, when he entered other forces, he encountered someone who was bitten by mutant mosquitoes, not only mosquitoes, but also many other poisons, all of which will mutate, which is another existential crisis in addition to the zombie threat.
Spiders, poisonous snakes, scorpions, and even some animals and plants that are not originally poisonous may have evolved poisonous sources. This dengue fever is still the lowest level of the virus, although it will be very tormenting, but the first level of immunity can be cured on its own, but the time is relatively long, it is estimated that it will take about ten days.
Some poisons are extremely harmful to the body and have a very high mortality rate, like the mutant rat that Zhang Zhi encountered, the virus directly targeted the nervous system through the air, which was a higher-level virus.
"Ten days of virus torture, even if it is good, their strength will fall a lot, and the daylily will be cold by then, no, you have to find a way!"
"You can't hide it anymore, they are the backbone of the team, if they lie down for ten days, they will probably commit suicide."
"Dengue fever, which is transmitted by mutant mosquitoes, does not work with current Western medicine. But all things are mutually reinforcing, and it just so happens that I know that mutated honeysuckle can solve the mutated dengue virus. ”
"But where to find the mutant honeysuckle?"
"It seems that we have to borrow external forces, and we have to quickly organize the team and start working!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhi no longer hesitated, and immediately began to convene a meeting of all the personnel.
