Chapter 308: A fixed number of its own
September 2037 Office of the President of State M.
The president, who is not too old, has not closed his eyes for three days and two nights, and he is sitting in an office chair, his hands propped up on the table, his forehead resting, and he looks tired.
There were more than a dozen people around the office, senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense, authoritative experts from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and several generals with absolute real power. President George was extremely familiar with his colleagues in front of him, regardless of rank. This learned and benevolent president has been conscientious and conscientious during his tenure, and has a good reputation and is deeply admired both domestically and internationally.
This year was supposed to be his last year of re-election.
After the first case of lesions of red ant drug users, it aroused extreme concern among people in the know and relevant departments. The government has invested a lot of manpower and material resources to remedy and control the situation, but what people never expected is that the large-scale outbreak is fierce and unavoidable.
There are a million documented users of red ant drugs in the world, and how many of them are traded on the black market privately? I am afraid that the intelligence services may not be able to track down 80 percent of the exact information in a year or two with all their resources.
Since the first serious incident occurred in March this year, and even though a special task force has been set up to deal with the incident, the same cases have continued to occur around the world. It's just that these news will not be released by any country on the surface, and any such news will cause panic among the people and cause unpredictable consequences until the truth is clarified.
Therefore, even if they have some information, they cannot share it with other countries, but choose to use their own means to try to suppress this matter that will threaten humanity. If those people know that the root cause of this incident is that it has a close relationship with the government of country M, and the famous Iron Shield Company made it, they may think that country M is deliberately plotting, which will trigger an unprecedented world war.
"How can these damn guys hide such a big thing." General Mike, who was in charge of dealing with the Iron Shield Company, cursed angrily more than once. There is an unknown important project cooperation with Tiedun Company, and the events that occurred at this time have almost reached an irreparable situation, and he cannot escape the blame. If it weren't for the glimmer of hope that those top scientists of Iron Shield would continue to develop an antidote and succeed in stopping the devastating development, he would have been eager to personally lead his troops to send these guys to hell.
Before the catastrophe was completely smashed on the heads of humans, they thought there was still a chance. But when the city-wide sirens sounded in the sky, dozens of fighter jets loaded with ammunition skimmed over the city, and the sound of cries and gunfire explosions approached the most important core institutions of a country. The people in the room didn't look calm.
A Secret Service worker dressed in black and wearing a headset pushed open the door of the president's office, and the important people from various departments standing inside did not turn to look at him. His tone was a little heavy, but his tone was quick: "Sir, the plane is ready, we have to evacuate in ten minutes." ”
President George let go of his hand, glanced at his colleagues who had worked with him for many years, and said softly, "Whoever is still holding on to their posts, please do everything in your power to save our country." ”
The president had nothing else to say, and left in a hurry, surrounded by a group of agents.
In the first month of the large-scale outbreak of the lesion of the red ant potion user, more than a dozen large cities in the territory of country M were successively dropped with missiles, and the explosions destroyed the cities inhabited by humans, but they were never able to stop the zombies from running amok.
There is a global outbreak of more than one million cases. At the beginning, the virus was like a torrential rain falling on a calm lake, first at one or two o'clock...... Dozens or hundreds of points fell into the lake, stirring up small ripples. Maybe with an umbrella, you can barely resist. But in a blink of an eye, the torrential rain suddenly became bigger, every inch of water on the lake surface could not be avoided, small ripples intersected with each other, and the heavy rain was like a curtain, which was beyond human resistance.
If Iron Shield hadn't developed this red ant potion that can give human bodies a new life, they might not have faced this catastrophe. The large number of users has undoubtedly planted bombs all over the world that explode at some unknown point, and once detonated, they are doomed to be irretrievable.
Since the appearance of human beings on this planet, there have been countless natural and man-made disasters, and each time a large number of lives have died, but those who survived have been sublimated in some way. But this time, under the unprecedented peak of science and technology, with a complete system and countermeasures, it is the most embarrassing to lose.
In just a few weeks, the outbreak of the virus went from being dealt with to being uncontrollable, and many countries around the world were collapsing. Countless cities have been destroyed by extreme means, and the virus cannot be stopped. Because, no one in power can make decisions that are close to self-destructive. In that case, maybe humanity will perish in its own hands before it is destroyed by the virus.
In the East China Sea, the zombie virus swept the world for the second year, one day.
A ferry is drifting alone in this vast sea area, the blue sea and blue sky, so comfortable.
Originally, it only took half a day to depart from Ning County by boat and reach Pisces Island, the first large island in the East China Sea archipelago. But the ferry drifted at sea for two days, and it still hasn't reached its destination.
There are more than 1,500 large and small islands in the East China Sea archipelago, which were originally traveled from the inland with a bridge across each island. However, in the early days of the disaster, the world's longest sea-crossing bridge, which was built with a lot of money and manpower 40 years ago, was immediately blown up seven or eight kilometers. This high-speed passage, which almost runs through the major islands in the East China Sea, was not only bombed at the beginning, but even the relationship between the islands was destroyed later through rigorous planning, in order to prevent the zombie virus from spreading at a faster speed.
This is also an excellent way to prevent the invasion of the virus and to establish a human shelter base. At least, the quarantine zone, built up at the fastest pace on these islands, lives with millions of survivors. At the beginning, I learned from Donna that the camp established by the government in the early days contained more than two million survivors, and it was still the data before Donna went out to do the mission.
It's been almost a year, and many of the survivors have escaped the crowd and sought refuge in the East China Sea Islands, and the number is sure to increase dramatically every day. In addition, several large islands and medium-sized islands in the East China Sea archipelago were originally inhabited by locals. Donna is talking about two million people, and I don't know where she got the data.
It's just that people who don't know the truth would never have imagined that the two million people Donna mentioned already include local residents. Of the six large islands in the East China Sea archipelago, there are only a few cities, and the rest of the villages and towns scattered on the islands do not have a few inhabitants themselves. The majority of the population is still concentrated in the cities. In addition, less than 20 percent of the more than 1,000 islands have been developed, and most of the area remains the same.
The main reason why the tourism industry in the East China Sea Islands can flourish is that so many large companies in the world are willing to spend money to invest in hotels and resorts here, is that they look at the original ecology and pure environment here. The East China Sea Islands have beautiful scenery, no scorching heat in summer, no severe cold in winter, pleasant climate, very livable, and can attract nearly 10 million tourists for sightseeing and vacation every year.
Passing through several islands on the way, looking through telescopes from afar, there was no sign of anything wrong, as if those small islands had never experienced an apocalyptic catastrophe, as it had been for hundreds of thousands of years, silent and peaceful. The giant high-speed passage built high on the sea surface, the broken part is like a cold steel front, which makes people feel desolate in their hearts. On top of this, there used to be a dragon of cars and horses, and it was very lively. Nowadays, only the bare steel and concrete are crumbling, and occasionally three or two waterfowl stop, but they do not stay long.
Li Zijing and Fang Dong stayed in the cockpit, looking at the endless sea in front of them and the small island on the other side, their expressions were not very good-looking. The global power grid is down, but the satellites in the sky are still there, and some electronics are still usable, but they have become a little abnormal. Li Zijing can sail a boat, but it does not mean that he is a good helmsman, he tried his best to grope for two days on this sea, and he did not see the island shelf of Pisces Island.
"There's really a problem with this GPS, Brother Li, we're going to Pisces Island, I really can't find it like this." Fang Dong on the side also tinkered for a while, but he didn't figure it out.
The local residents on the ship claimed to know a little about navigation, positioning and navigation were useless, and it was in vain to have a set of theories. Fang Dongqi didn't come out, these guys, maybe they haven't followed others to the sea for decades, or it's just that someone in the family is doing this. When they didn't go to sea, they patted their chests, for fear that others wouldn't know that they were capable. But when it really came time to use them, one by one they would only frown and complain.
The ferry ran for two days, and the fuel was a little insufficient, and if it continued to drive, it might drop anchor in the middle of the sea. Navigation failed, take them for a circle at sea, or only found out last night that it was useless. He also kept an eye on Li Zijing and sailed along the route where he could see the island, otherwise he would really drift out and float to the Pacific Ocean, and the people in this boat would be saved.
The weather was sunny and cloudless, which was already something to be thankful for, and did not let the people who escaped death in this boat encounter strong winds and waves. Li Zijing looked at the survivors who were sleeping in the car or walking on the splint, and he finally made a decision.
"Let's find an island where people can live first, and let's recuperate for a while, we people are tired." Li Zijing took a deep breath and continued: "When you get to the island, at least you can find a place to sleep peacefully for a few days, and there is still some food on the boat, which is barely enough to hold on for a while. ”
"That's the only way it can be, it's not easy for everyone to survive. All such a big thing has passed, and now it's finally safe. Fang Dong smiled faintly, looked at the people below, and fell into deep thought in a daze.
Li Mao, Song Dabao, Song Song, Jin Sixing, Dong Yi, Hong Xiong, Lei Zhengyun, Lei Zhengyu, Taixi, Guo Gang, Ma Donglai, Hong Yan, Wang Ying......
There are still many people who can't remember their names, those who have been with them all the way, or who have betrayed, they can't catch this boat. No matter how they met or separated, some of them remembered, some of them couldn't be remembered, and as time went by, those who could remember them would probably slowly forget.
From the first day of facing these walking dead, many people have died along the way, and those who witnessed it have gradually become numb. It's just that there are always people who have to remember something, whether it's to remember, or to remember, and they won't live like the walking dead.
In this final battle, many people who saw hope in front of them always thought that they would make it to the East China Sea Islands alive. But I never imagined that the ship was there, and it had walked down thousands of miles, but it couldn't walk through that short mile.
Those who died, lovers, relatives, and friends who supported each other, also disappeared.
And for those who are alive, some are discouraged, and some are still hopeful.
Some people can't imagine that they will die, and some people can't imagine that they can live. As for what tomorrow will bring, I don't want to add to my troubles at this time.
Lan Feng was like a general who had finally won the victory, and after the large group of men and horses arrived, he pulled the ten sentry machine guns, and prepared to go back and take over everything from the crow leader. Cranes and mussels compete for the benefit of fishermen, and Lan Feng thinks that he is the final winner. As for the hundreds of dead men, he didn't feel sorry at all, because those people were not with him in the first place, they were just the subordinates of the crow leader. Even the dozen or so remnants of the defeated generals were directly shot by him after the large army came, and he didn't even need a reason. The crow leader is already dead and can't die anymore, so he Lan Feng doesn't have to think about whether he looks ugly or good-looking.
Sitting in the car on the way back, he closed his eyes in the back seat, his mind was full of thoughts, and he even thought about what kind of name he would give himself when he went back to calm people. Is it better to call it "Raven King", or is it more atmospheric to call it "Doomsday Overlord"? Thinking about such a vulgar name, it doesn't fit him at all. Maybe the "president" or the "godfather" is more favorable?
However, when night fell, a loud roar suddenly sounded on the road, and he realized that the mantis was catching cicadas and yellow finches. The monster like a hill, with countless zombies, rushed into the convoy. The last thing Lan Feng saw was that miserable white and ruthless face.
Bao Ping's face emerged from the hill, looking at the messy highway with a mocking face.
A blue-skinned truck loaded with gasoline, blazing with raging fire, crushed the few zombies on the highway with lightning speed, and directly crashed into the hill that was one story shorter. The explosion resounded through the valley, and the firelight jumped more than ten meters like a demon dancing wildly, and even the road shook three times, cracking a big crack.
The fire burned all night, and the charred corpses were like charcoals, and wisps of black smoke were emitting. Bao Ping burned only one head, relying on the black lines as long as chopsticks, and moved with difficulty. But he didn't want to be pinched by a monster the size of a monkey, pinched with one paw, and flew into the sky.
The monster had gray skin, hard wings, sharp claws like knives, red horns on its head, a bloody mouth, and eyes without beads.
