ACT 105: Infection

acT105: The convoy that went to sweep the strawberry fields did not return until night, and the snow-bright headlights passed through the rain curtain, reflecting the vegetable greenhouse with only the steel frame left, and the left-behind department opened the iron fence to welcome the team, with a mixed face.

"Why did you come back? Having trouble? Yinuo lit the bar and uncovered the cauldron that was warm on the stove, the food still steaming.

"Ran into the walking dead." Lucy took the towel and wiped the water droplets from her hair, sighed, and said, "How about the roundabout?" You okay. ”

"Yes, and it's a big deal." Yinuo pursed his lips, glanced at the people who were around the pot and picked up rice, and sighed: "Let's eat something first, I'll talk later." Mengfan became much more diligent, and brought food to Song Jiu and a few people, and saw that everyone's faces were not very good-looking, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine." Song Jiu grinned, picked up the rice bowl and pulled it, Song Yao saw that he looked ugly when he ate, smiled, dialed some of his own food for him, and said, "Eat slowly, no one will grab it." ”

"Why do you have a weird face?" Meng Fan cut his long hair and sat opposite, with a worried look between his eyebrows: "Jiujiu is really okay?" ”

"It's okay, your ninth brother is in the limelight today." Song Yao pursed her lips and smiled, thinking of the two knives of her younger brother Lisuo in the strawberry field before, and her heart was both relieved and frightened.

"That's a must." Meng Fan was not interested in what Song Jiu had done, and in his eyes, it was estimated that Song Wine was the most stylish.

Luo Yu ate as usual Sven, chewed slowly, his face was as usual, and when he saw that Mengfan still had to ask questions, he put down his rice bowl and repeated the afternoon's events with her: "...... So, Brother Ming was a little embarrassed, and Brother Jiu served on his behalf, and those foreigners originally wanted to watch the play, but they splashed blood on their faces, and they all put away their contempt. ”

"Those humanoid bears have nothing but food in their brains, right?" Meng Fan playfully stuck out his tongue and said, "It's not a big deal, why did you come back so late?" ”

"I met a group of corpses halfway, and I lost a lot of people, otherwise I would definitely be in trouble." Luo Yu put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, and said in a low voice: "The walking corpse is not a big deal, and those people in the key strawberry field have also changed." ”

"What do you mean?" Meng Fan was stunned.

"I was going to come back after finishing my errands, but Brother Jiu remembered the stubble in the hospital, meaning to wait and see if those people would become corpses." Luo Yu seemed to have some palpitations in his eyes, and smacked his lips and said, "Those people were not bitten, they were all shot, and guess what?" ”

"Got up again?" Meng Fan's eyes widened and he was stunned: "Really? ”

"See it with your own eyes." Song Yao seconded the proposal from the side, even though she had seen the wind and waves, the scene of the resuscitation of the corpses in the strawberry field in the afternoon still made her a little difficult to digest, and the amount of information contained in it was too large, and she didn't even know where to start.

"And then?" Mengfan regretted that he didn't go with him and missed a thriller scene.

"No, Brother Jiu locked the gate of the strawberry farm, and we'll be back." Luo Yu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Wu Wentao originally planned to clean up all the walking corpses in the strawberry farm, but Brother Jiu didn't let him, saying that he wanted to leave that foreign girl with a surprise." Meng Fan smiled and said happily: "**Naked provocation." ”

"That's where it is." Song Jiu, who had been immersed in cooking, finally stopped, shook his hand that was still holding gauze, and scolded: "That girl still owes me a finger." Song Yao touched his injured hand with some distress, looked around, and asked, "There's nothing wrong at home, right?" ”

"I don't know, I've been busy with Sister Jia in the afternoon, and I don't know what they did when they went to the hospital, saying that something will be announced later." Meng Fan shrugged his shoulders, cleaned up everyone's dishes and chopsticks and got up to leave.

As soon as she left, Dr. Zhong, graduate students, and Yu An walked in from outside the door, and their expressions were even more ugly than those who had just returned from the bloody battle.

After eating and drinking, everyone found a place to sit down, and they knew that they had something to say, so they didn't leave in a hurry.

Song was a little sleepy after eating, and wanted to go back to the room and get tired of Mengfan for a while, but when he looked up, he saw Mengfan running back, so he had no choice but to stay and listen to the preaching.

The graduate student leaned over and whispered a few words to Ming Junwei, whose face changed slightly, sighed lowly, and nodded to let him speak.

The clouds outside the house are still dense, and the atmosphere in the house is also dull and tight, obviously returning triumphantly, but it seems that the mountain rain is coming, and it is depressing.

The bar was brightly lit, and some people couldn't stand the fatigue and retreated first, leaving only a dozen or so leaders to hold on.

Research and Dr. Chung brought a number of lab record forms, which were placed in the middle of the dance floor as before, and the two whispered a few words, and the graduate student patted Dr. Chung on the shoulder and handed him the stage.

Dr. Zhong was a little stage frightened, his boss was sitting on the side and smoking, his mind was obviously not here, and he was a little nervous in the face of a group of guys who were enemies half a day ago.

"Ahem, everyone... Well, there's something I want to tell you. Dr. Zhong scratched his hair, picked up the form on the table and looked at it, his face became a little serious, and said, "Good news, bad news." The people below were speechless, and they all craned their necks and waited for him to continue.

Doctor Zhong smiled awkwardly, his eyes swept over the form, looked at Ming Junwei, and said, "The good news is that Mr. Wei ...... His condition improved, I gave him medicine, his temperature has returned to normal, and he will be able to go to the ground after a few days of recuperation. ”

"Well, I'm in trouble." Ming Junwei smiled faintly and motioned for him to continue.

"As for the bad news...... Dr. Zhong licked his lips, hesitated for a while, and said, "Mr. Wei is infected." Ming Junwei and the others changed their faces together, and before they could ask, Dr. Zhong threw out another bombshell news: "Based on Mr. Wei's situation, I did a sample survey among the people around the island, and the results showed that ...... Ten people selected at random...... Also infected. There was an instant gasp in the bar, as if someone had stuffed a large vacuum cleaner and almost drained the air in the room.

Dr. Zhong slowly entered the state and continued, "I have examined all these people, and they have no signs of being scratched and bitten by the walking corpses, and their current physical condition is normal, and they do not show ...... Exhibit abnormalities. The sample survey included field combatants and internal non-combatants, in the same proportion, including two children, and the results were the same. So...... Tomorrow I need to give a check-up to everybody around the island, because proportionally, all of you here are probably ...... They may all have been infected. "There was no sound in the hall, and the only sound in my ears was the sound of falling rain, dripping and ticking.

"Oh, yes, there's another one." When Dr. Zhong saw the reminder of the graduate student, he immediately remembered that he had missed a stubble, and added: "Well, I also analyzed the blood sample of Chef Jia, and she is the only one who has not been infected. ”

"And then?" After being silent for a long time, Ming Junwei frowned and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

"Not yet." Dr. Zhong shook his head regretfully and said, "I need to know how many second-level infected people there are in the roundabout, oh, it's the living corpse you are talking about." ”

"Four." Ming Junwei frowned and thought about it, Song Yao, Lu Qian, Liu Yan and Chef Niangjia, it seems that there are only these few.

"Five." Song Jiu, who had been shrinking in the corner, suddenly spoke, and seeing everyone's strange faces, he hurriedly said: "Ziqian, Jiao Ziqian is also one." ”

"Huh?" Luo Yu and a few people were surprised: "How can he..."

"Liu Yan and Sister Jia gave him a blood transfusion." Song Jiu flipped up the old yellow calendar and explained: "A few days ago, I asked him to pay attention to himself, and he told me that his body has changed, and it seems that he does not have the suspenseful self-healing ability of you for the time being, but there are indeed some clues. ”

"Living corpses can also be infected through bodily fluids?" Yinuo's expression was very surprised, and he was surprised: "We have been together for so long, eating and drinking together, we are not infected." ”

"I don't know about this, do you need me to bring Ziqian to you to see?" Song Jiu spread his hands, saying that he only knew so much.

"Tomorrow, let's do it tomorrow." Ming Junwei sighed and glanced at Wu Wentao: "What about you?" ”

"Seven." Wu Wentao flicked the cigarette ash and said indifferently: "We have blood samples from Dr. Zhong here." ”

"And then? Are there any precautions or anything else that need to be taken? Lucy struggled to lift the kitten down from her body and asked, "What about the people who have been infected?" ”

"It doesn't seem to be needed at the moment." Doctor Zhong smiled bitterly and spread his hands, and said, "If nothing else, the entire camp is a first-class infected person except for the second-level infected body, and there is no need to isolate it." My own blood sample was also tested, and I was also infected, and I can't say exactly when I was infected, so it's unclear what the problem is. The graduate student came out at the right time and added: "Wu and Wu led the team that their boilers and steam turbines have been shipped back, and if the installation starts tomorrow, it should be able to use electricity in about a week." ”

"What else is needed?" Ming Junwei asked.

"Coal." The graduate student looked down at the record and said, "The amount of coal provided by Team Leader Wu is only enough for about two days, and before the boiler is installed, I have to get some more." ”

"Where is there a thermal power plant here? Or a coal yard will do. Wu Wentao snuffed out the cigarette butt and also participated in the discussion.

"I really haven't been to the coal yard, and we've searched for almost all the coal supplies in the city." The graduate student paused as he spoke, his expression became a little strange, and said, "I do know one of the thermal power plants, not very far away." Ming Junwei and Song Yao's eyes lit up at the same time, and they shook their heads with a wry smile, and Ming Junwei sighed: "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will take someone to pull coal." ”

"I'll go." Wu Wentao took the initiative to receive the task and said: "My people can't do anything else, they are idle, where is the power plant?" Ming Junwei and Song Yao looked at him with strange expressions, and said a place name lightly, Wu Wentao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, the expression on his face became strange, and he smiled bitterly, seeing that everyone around him was confused.

"Are you alright? If you have nothing to do, let's go and rest. Ming Junwei took two sips of wine, stretched his sore back, and said, "Tomorrow, I have to get a big car first, and I will concentrate the gasoline in a while." Everyone was tired enough after a busy day, and they all got up and left the bar.

Song Jiu wanted to say something, but he forgot about it, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think about it, said good night to Song Yao and the others, and returned to the Express Hotel with Mengfan in his arms.

Luo Yu looked at the backs of the two leaving, his eyes showed a little loneliness, and Song Yao on the side was helpless in his eyes, so he took her arm and left with Yu An and a few people one after another.

…… The wind and rain are weakening, and the arc is shuttling. In the strawberry field where the rain fell, the ghostly walking corpse wandered blankly, unable to leave before death, and still imprisoned here after death, indescribably desolate.

Lao Wu crouched in front of a corpse, his blue-gray face was covered with blood, his claws held an arm and gnawed wildly, his white teeth ripped tendons, and he laboriously chewed on the flesh of his former companion, blood mixed with rain gurgling and soaking the ground.

The body of the person who was gnawed seemed to twitch slightly, and the blood-drenched fingers had a slight curling movement, a little force, and pulled out of Lao Wu's mouth.

The flesh on that hand was torn apart, and even the white bones of Sensen were exposed on the wrist, and the chewed minced meat hung on the palm, mixed with the saliva and blood of old friends, dripping on Gao Yang's pale face.

"Huh." ...
