Chapter IV: Discussion
The few people didn't wait long for Bai Mo and the two walked out of the staircase, Bai Mo saw that they had laid out the mattress and walked over directly to lie down, Chu Huaifeng was in a much better state, pulled over a chair and sat down.
Everyone cheered up and moved closer a little, and Chu Huaifeng told everyone about the inspection. There are three rooms with zombies, one on the sixth floor, one on the fifth floor, and one on the fourth floor. They didn't break down the door to check the room that didn't move, for fear that there would be an accident, anyway, the things are enough at the moment, Chu Huaifeng told the others about the situation, and waited until tomorrow when everyone was together to explore the remaining three floors.
Then Zhou Changhong explained the situation of the materials on the roof, and pointed to a mention of mineral water beside him: "The materials and weapons are basically enough, but the food is relatively short, especially water." Today, we searched for three floors and found more than a dozen bottles of mineral water. ”
"It's still expired." Liu Jianguo added.
Bai Mo asked, "What about the food?"
Zhou Changhong said: "The packaged food is only two large meat sausages that have expired for more than a year, and the others can't be eaten at all." In addition, I made up enough for a small bag of white rice, which is fourteen or fifteen catties, which is also expired, but it looks like it can still be eaten. ”
Bai Mo nodded and said, "Let's search the rest of the room tomorrow, the food should be enough for us to eat." ”
Zhou Changhong was still a little worried, and said while shaking his head: "The main thing is water, six people need sixty bottles for five days to be suitable." ”
Chu Huaifeng shook his head and said: "This is the standard amount, it is estimated that the food we have eaten in the past few days does not have much water, plus the weather is hot, we need more water to maintain our combat strength." ”
Chu Huaifeng didn't want to hurt everyone's confidence too much, and added: "But if it's just to maintain life, it will require much less water." ”
"And ......" Chu Huaifeng's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he continued to say to everyone: "We can also store our own urine, and these ten or so bottles of water should be converted into urine for half a day longer." ”
Everyone couldn't help but shudder, adding a little worry about the future.
Bai Mo saw that Chu Huaifeng was really not very good at boosting morale, so he hurriedly answered: "These are all uncertain, maybe we will find a few pieces of water tomorrow." And if this table is correct, it should be August now, and there is a high probability that it will rain, and there will only be more water at that time! ”
Seeing that everyone's expressions were relaxed, Bai Mo changed the topic and said: "Let's discuss the coping strategy, and everyone will talk about their own discoveries and guesses, so that we can discuss ways to deal with it." ”
So everyone talked about their various ideas again, and it was basically the result of Bai Mo's previous discussion, mainly for the two girls who didn't participate in the battle.
Then Bai Mo began to try to analyze the current situation: "So the zombies in this world are very different from what we have seen in the movies before, they have good eyesight, especially dynamic vision; There is a sense of hearing, although the sense of hearing is not very sensitive; There should be no tactile sensations, and besides, they are powerful and agile.
The only thing we have the advantage is intelligence, so our advantage is to use all kinds of tools to use or create terrain to kill them.
And it's worth noting that although they only have a very low level of intelligence, they are therefore not afraid of life and death, well, if they don't die. It's okay to face such opponents one or two, but once the number is large, it is simply unstoppable. In addition, we have to overcome our negative emotions of timidity, fear, fear, and despair. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Mo paused slightly, allowing them to digest the contents.
Then Bai Mo said in a calm tone: "And the most important point is how these zombie viruses or bacteria are infected.
Let's call it the zombie virus for now, I have two main guesses. ”
Xu Mengwan was just about to ask Bai Mo what he had guessed, but Chu Huaifeng, who was frowning and contemplative, asked first, "Those two?" ”
Bai Mo looked around at everyone and said, "The first one is more beneficial to us. According to the plot inference in the previous zombie movies and the main god's infinite stream novels, this virus was initially spread by gas and broke out all at once, and the action time was extremely short, maybe 5 seconds to a few minutes. After that, it will be spread by zombies through blood, which will be relatively slow.
If this is the case, then as long as we do enough protection and try to avoid contact with zombies, the probability of not being infected is still very high. ”
Xu Mengwan nodded when she heard this, and seemed to feel that it made sense.
However, Bai Mo continued: "But there are several problems here. First, why did the virus spread quickly through the air at first, but when it broke out, it could only spread through bodily fluids?
Second, if you have played Plague Company, you will know that if a germ wants to spread in a large area around the world, it must meet three conditions: a wide range of transmission routes, a long enough incubation period, and not too deadly, otherwise it is difficult to spread very high range.
But this zombie virus does not meet these three aspects.
Of course, this may also be the so-called 'main god space' directly set according to the movie, so there is no need to explain, after all, the existence of the main god space is already the biggest unreasonable. ”
At this time, Xu Mengwan couldn't help but nod her head sharply, and asked while nodding: "Yes, yes, what about the other possibility?" ”
"Another possibility is that the virus has always been there, and we have been infected with this virus since we got here!" At this time, Bai Mo's flat voice exploded in everyone's minds.
Everyone's faces changed greatly, and they all stared at Bai Mo and waited for him to explain.
Bai Mo said: "The inference is very simple, since this virus has caused so much damage, its incubation cycle and transmission mode must be much higher than that of other epidemics. The virus broke out in a city, but the city was not seriously damaged, and there were not many signs of chaos in the rooms below, which shows that human beings did not have much power to resist after the outbreak of the virus.
So, it's very likely that the air around us is full of zombie germs, which we have inhaled for a long time, and it is now multiplying. ”
Thinking of the appearance of the zombies, everyone got goosebumps when they heard it, Xu Mengwan was scared and disgusted, wrapped her arms around her knees, and asked softly, "Then what should we do?" It's not going to be a zombie in a while, is it?"
Bai Mo had fallen into reasoning at this time, shook his head and said, "No, have you forgotten what I said?" If it turned into a zombie so quickly, it was discovered and quarantined before it spread. Looking at the scene in this city, either the virus has wiped out the world, or humanity is left with only a few bases left to survive. ”
After a pause, he added: "If human civilization has not collapsed, it will definitely clean up the zombies in this city, after all, although these zombies are powerful, they are nothing in the face of modern weapons." ”
Chu Huaifeng nodded and agreed: "Yes, as far as the zombies in this city are concerned, the army will clean them up in less than a day." ”
Seeing everyone's sad expressions, Bai Mo smiled at the moment: "Actually, that kind of possibility is fine, even if it is the second one, it must be enough for us to live for five days." Have you forgotten the 'total treatment' that the kimono man gave us? At that time, the injury recovered in an instant. ”
Xu Mengwan finally let go of the heart hanging here when she heard this, patted her flat chest and said happily: "Are you saying that the virus in us has been cured?" I didn't expect that villain to help us. ”
Bai Mo was suddenly full of black lines, and said helplessly: "Big brother, I mean that even if we get the virus and go back to the main god, we can be cured of it, can you cure a cold and not be infected again?" ”
Xu Mengwan's eyes widened, covered her mouth with her hand, and said softly before she stopped talking.
Bai Mo suddenly lay down on the mattress and said: "Actually, I hope it is the second case, so that there are no scruples about eating and drinking." ”
"It should be the second case." Chu Huaifeng, who was on the side, suddenly spoke: "After the man in the kimono shouted 'all healing', the light also shrouded his body. ”
Bai Mo, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, and then became as soft as usual, sat up and said, "It seems that it is the second type, so at least you don't have to worry about food and water." ”
After that, they discussed other things, arranging a vigil, distributing food and water, and so on.
Today was frightened and stimulated enough, after the discussion, everyone felt very sleepy, although the weather was still very hot at this time, and there were many mosquitoes around, but everyone did not care and fell asleep after a while.
Bai Mo sat alone on the side of the building and kept vigil for everyone.
Originally, Chu Huaifeng and Xu Mengwan both wanted to keep vigil, but Bai Mo shirked that he was used to sleeping late, and he couldn't sleep in the first half of the night, and persuaded Chu Huaifeng to be the main force to let him have a good rest. Chu Huaifeng couldn't shirk it, so everyone decided that Bai Mo would guard the eve tonight, and Xu Mengwan would stay in the second half of the night.
Bai Mo is really not tired now, and on the other hand, he is not worried about Chu Huaifeng!
The speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, and Chu Huaifeng was able to stay awake even with a broken leg and observe the man in the kimono. This is not something that can be explained by "being a soldier", Chu Huaifeng hardly said much about his own situation, such a person is really a little uneasy to be a teammate Bai Mo.
He needed to stop and think, even if he couldn't think of anything.
