Chapter 15: The Origin of Zombies
"Since you said that the abilities of the possessed are all kinds of strange and the materials they need are very different, how can you guarantee that they will be able to provide what I need? In case what I need is black bear blood, tiger blood, you can get it for me too? β
Zheng Fan asked rhetorically again, without directly saying the materials he needed, he always maintained a certain vigilance against this mysterious strange woman.
"Tiger blood, black bear blood? That's a bit of a hassle, but it's not impossible, it's just that there will be fewer of them. β
The woman said lightly: "I forgot to introduce myself, I am a member of the South China Region, Shenlongwei, Mengyu." β
"Shenlongwei?"
Zheng Fan said: "Sounds very lofty, is it similar to Interpol?" β
Mengyu sneered disdainfully: "Do you know what Interpol is?" β
"I don't know."
"Shenlongwei is a secret organization composed of spirit possessors with fragments after the zombie outbreak. The purpose is to destroy these zombies. β
Mengyu held a crystal cube in his hand, half the size of an ordinary cigarette case, and came to the zombie who was writhing and placed the crystal above its head.
The zombie's body began to twitch violently, and soon, a pink fragment floated out of the zombie's brain, and ten seconds later, it was sucked into the crystal. Everything is calm, and the zombies are completely dead.
Mengyu put the crystal in front of her nose and sniffed it gently: "Does this fragment have the ability of a dog?" No wonder the running speed and strength of the limbs are so strong. β
"You're saying this shard has the power of a dog?" Zheng Fan also walked over curiously and asked, "How do you know?" β
Mengyu carefully put the crystal in the bag she carried with her: "My sense of smell is very keen, I can even smell the special smell of you:" You are eating instant noodles today, and it is the taste of boiled braised beef..."
"Yes, chick!"
Zheng Fan exclaimed: "I think your ability is a dog, right?" The sense of smell is so well developed. β
Mengyu didn't care: "Although you brushed your teeth this morning, your mouth still stinks." β
"You are a snake, but you can't kill a dog? What do you think, is it a bit out of the picture? β
"Who says a snake can guarantee that it will beat a dog?"
The two were arguing, and Zhang Zihan had already walked out of the underwear store.
Mengyu glanced at Zhang Zihan, and Zheng Fan understood in his heart: "Zhang Zihan, you go back to the car first." β
"Okay."
Although they have a good heart, they have to carry themselves behind their backs to what they want to say. But she still got back into the car with interest.
Mengyu opened her lips lightly and whispered in a voice that only Zheng Fan could hear: "Shenlongwei, you are very welcome to join the spirit possession who has activated the ability of the fragment. After joining the Dragon Guard, the organization will provide you with the materials you need every month, and a certain amount of economic subsidies, and your family will be under special protection from the state. β
Mengyu looked at Zheng Fan's eyes and said very seriously.
"Huh."
Zheng Fan chuckled: "How can you prove your identity?" β
Hearing this, Mengyu dug into her pocket.
"I don't have to pay for any papers, I won't believe that kind of thing."
Zheng Fan hugged his shoulders and said indifferently, when there is chaos today, he will not easily trust anyone.
"Your name is Zheng Fan, right?" Mengyu didn't take out any documents, but took out a special earphone.
"That's right."
"Okay." I pressed the middle button of the earphone, and it took only three seconds for the phone to connect.
"Check one person, Tianluo City, Zheng Fan."
As he spoke, he pressed another button, and a beam of light shot out from the earphones, shining all over Zheng Fan's body.
"Understood."
Mengyu looked at Zheng Fan and said, "Zheng Fan, male, twenty-two years old, orphan, native of Tianluo City. After graduating from junior high school, he changed several jobs, and his last job was as a courier in the headwind express company, with the remaining personal assets: 53,081 yuan..."
Mengyu told all his relevant information like a number of family treasures, and even Zheng Fan peeked at the neighbor's little girl taking a bath on a certain day in a month when he was sixteen years old, and Zheng Fan completely believed her identity.
Because he is confident that no one knows about that incident, he is very curious, and this little thing about himself is also worthy of being recorded by that mysterious organization?
"There are more than a billion people in China, could it be that you have all the information of each person? Unlikely, right? β
Zheng Fan was indeed a little incredulous, if that was the case, it would be terrible, would he have dated the fifth girl a few times, and this kind of thing would be recorded?
Mengyu said: "It's not your turn to worry, let's get down to business, are you considering joining Shenlongwei?" β
"What happens if I don't join?"
Zheng Fan frowned, although gold is difficult to find, it is not impossible to find it at all, now that he has such a powerful ability, this city can't find it, can't he go to other cities to find it?
If he joins that Shenlongwei, he will most likely be restrained to a certain extent, and he will definitely have to fight to the death with all kinds of zombies with strange abilities, which is not what he wants.
"I believe you should also know that the possessed corpse, which is the kind of powerful zombie, is turned into by a spirit possessor like us who has fragments, that is to say, everyone who has fragments is a time bomb. You're a smart man, and if you refuse, you don't need me to say it directly. β
Mengyu said coldly, there was no trace of politeness in her words, as if she had eaten Zheng Fan.
"Just you?"
Zheng Fan changed his original laughter, and his expression became cold: "What kind of Shenlongwei, even a little zombie can beat you all over the ground to find your teeth, where did you get the courage to talk to me like this?" β
When Mengyu heard this, she smiled rarely: "I'm not alone. β
As he spoke, he pointed to the Bluetooth headset on his head: "Your appearance and information have been known to us, you won't be naΓ―ve to think that with a fragment, no one can help you?" β
Zheng Fan's expression froze, he looked like he was really like this, he had a few catties and a few taels, and he knew it. Not to mention fighting against a mysterious organization, you can die of thirst without drinking water for a few days, and if you really have some ability to treat yourself as an immortal, you are a fool.
Mengyu seemed to be inviting him, but in fact, he had no choice at all. Either join in, or disappear completely after a period of extrajudicial absence.
"I can join the dragon guard you said, but I want to know the truth."
Zheng Fan stretched out the index finger of his right hand: "The whole truth about zombies and that kind of debris, and why for more than a month, I can't see any rescuers, why the city is cut off from water, electricity, mobile phones, and even the police can't get through." β
Mengyu nodded: "It's very simple, the truth is that Tianluo City, where you are located, has become an abandoned city. β
"Forsaken city? What do you mean? Zheng Fan frowned, abandoning the word is not good, and even has a hint of malice.
Mengyu said: "A year ago, a mysterious outer space energy stone broke through the atmosphere and descended on the earth. Without warning, it exploded into fragments of energy, that is, the fragments in your and my bodies, as if they were conscious, and these fragments flew into some organisms with the characteristics of life. Humans who are attached to their bodies by fragments are what we call them: Possessed Spirits. β
Zheng Fan was taken aback and said, "Creature? You mean, it's not just humans, these fragments also go into animals? β
Don't blame him for being surprised, it fell into the human body, it's okay to say. If it falls into the body of a tiger, a lion, a bear, a creature that has great power in itself, plus the power of fragments, how terrifying would it be?
Mengyu nodded: "Not only animals, according to statistics, there are some plants that are also possessed by this kind of fragment, of course, this is only part of the information we have gathered." Maybe it's not just about animals, plants. β
"The existence of these fragments seems to have some kind of mission, for example, the ability of my fragments is a snake, I must actively swallow the snake's blood within a certain time range, so that the fragments can enter a relatively stable state, otherwise, the fragments will actively devour the flesh and blood essence in my body until I die completely and become a zombie."
Zheng Fan interrupted: "Can you only swallow snake blood?" Isn't it okay to have dog blood and sheep blood? β
Mengyu shook his head: "It can only be snake blood, and only by swallowing snake blood can the state of the fragments remain stable for a long time." Of course, drinking human blood is also fine, but it must be fresh to have a certain relieving effect.
It's just that you need to swallow a lot of human blood, according to the test, drinking five catties of human blood at a time can stabilize the fragments for six hours, and in the seventh hour, if the human blood cannot be supplied in time, the spirit possessed person will die and become a spirit corpse. β
"Five pounds." Smacked his tongue: "That is to say, you have to drink at least twenty catties of human blood a day!" β
Mengyu said: "Do you know the concept of five catties of blood, the average blood of the human body is only about 4.7 catties, that is to say, if you drink human blood alone, every day, you have to drink the blood of the whole body of four big living people." β
"That's kind of scary..."
"And most of the spirit possessors don't know what kind of materials they need in their bodies, and some don't even know that they already have this kind of weird fragments in their bodies.
For example, people like me need animal blood. How could a normal person think of drinking animal blood raw for no reason? And it is the blood of animals that need to be specified, let alone drink human blood. β
"Therefore, most of the spirit possessors were unable to provide the materials needed by the fragments, resulting in their own flesh essence being devoured by the fragments and dying, and eventually turning into zombies. This is the reason why zombies erupt and are not suppressed. β
Mengyu paused, took a sip of water, and continued: "After the spirit possession becomes a zombie, they will take the initiative to find the materials needed for the fragments, which is their first choice. During this period, if a living person appears, it will become their second choice, which is called cannibalism. β
