Chapter 8: The Resurrection of the Zombies
"Two days ago, Jian'an was lost." Du Yan raised his bloodshot eyes and said.
Xiao Yu and Lu Bing also surrounded them, except for Xiao Yu, all of them were old fritters, and they were not surprised to hear it, if the news came out of Jian'an, it would not only cause more riots in China, but also attract the attention of other countries.
Bai Guo saw that he was dusty along the way, and there were a lot of abrasions on his body, so he patted Du Yan's shoulder and said, "It's okay, you tell me slowly, what happened to Jian'an?" Why is it so fast"
Du Yan seemed to be a little uncomfortable, but he didn't show too obvious refusal, he glanced at Bai Guo inadvertently out of the corner of his eye, and said: "When we went at that time, we didn't consider that the virus would infect the water source next to us, and when Cheng Yi and I went, the virus in the water had spread, and some people in the army stationed in the town were also infected. ”
When the three of them heard this, they could probably guess the rest of the matter, Jian'an was on higher ground, the water source flowed through the nearby town, and the general disinfectant was not enough to kill the bacteria in the water, so the people brought by Du Yan and Cheng Yi were definitely not enough to fight the zombies.
"Are you two the only people you brought along? And what about Cheng Yi? Bai Guo's eyebrows furrowed slightly, suppressing all kinds of doubts in her heart, she had a good impression of Cheng Yi, if Cheng Yi hadn't appeared in time that day, maybe how many people would have died.
Speaking of his comrades-in-arms who went with him, Du Yan's eyes were a little red, but he still held back the sourness between his nose and said: "At that time, the army's ammunition was no longer enough, I don't know why, many zombies were walking in the direction of Quinoa, Cheng Yi and I and four or five of his own soldiers hid in the vault of a bank, Cheng Yi brought a virus sample to Tianyi for special research, I don't worry about you coming over." ”
Du Bing helped him to sit on the bed, understanding the situation over there, Du Yan was also very concerned about the research of the virus on their side, and pressed Bai Guo and Lu Bing, who were going to go to the dissecting room next door to get disinfectant water, and asked anxiously: "Is there any progress on your side?" ”
Bai Guo and Lu Bing couldn't hide the tiredness between their eyebrows, and Bai Guo didn't hide it, and said directly: "To put it simply, in the past seven days, in addition to using antibiotics to experiment with this virus, we have been studying the composition of its protein coat and trying to disintegrate its protein coat, but the genetic material of the virus that has lost its protein coat will use the remaining nutrients in the cells of the corpse to quickly divide and multiply at the fastest speed, and create a new protein shell, and the time it takes to further destroy these genetic materials, Much longer than the time it takes for the virus to divide and multiply. ”
Although Bai Guo had already spoken as plainly as possible, Du Yan was still a little ignorant when he heard it.
Bai Guo took a deep breath and said: "In other words, the more you want to destroy the virus, the more viruses there are, and the speed at which they mutate will accelerate." ”
After saying this, the small room fell silent for a while, and Du Yan was silent for a while and finally said, "Is there any other way?" ”
Bai Guo looked at his eyes seriously and said: "Yes, but it takes time, the research on the virus takes an average of six months, and the mutation cycle of the virus is 3-4 months, and each complete mutation of the virus means that the previous research is all invalid, and some special viruses have been studied for seventy or eighty years without results." ”
Du Yan nodded and didn't speak again, and asked Bai Guo to get the disinfectant first, almost all the roads into the city were zombie corpses, so he had to be cautious.
Such a big thing happened, there are naturally many people outside of Quinoa who are studying the virus, although Du Yan is anxious, but what Bai Guo said is right, it is impossible to develop a vaccine for a while and a half, there are so many zombies outside, and the most important thing now is how to survive.
The dissection room is not far from the small room, just take a simple thing, Bai Guo went by himself, there are still two corpses on the dissecting table, one of which is the girl who was bitten in the square earlier, because she was the first person to be bitten, Bai Guo wanted to get more information about her, the body has been preserved very intact and almost no decay.
The disinfectant was placed in the cabinet next to it, and Bai Guo kept thinking about what Du Yan said just now, and opened the cabinet a little absent-mindedly, and took a bottle of normal saline, a box of anti-inflammatory drugs, and small things such as bandages and cotton swabs, and prepared to go back.
A question has been plaguing Bai Guo, why do zombies come to Quinoa? If it is a small number of zombies, it is understandable, but looking at the current situation, the surrounding zombies should have gathered, as if there was some force behind them, making them travel a long distance to Quinoa.
Bai Guo was too engrossed in thinking, and he didn't notice it at all, the well-preserved female corpse on the dissecting table moved her fingers slightly, sat up stiffly, and slowly turned her head to look at Bai Guo.
Bai Guo turned around and was about to walk outside, the sound of bare feet on the floor suddenly sounded in the quiet air, Bai Guo looked back at the sound, the female corpse lying on the dissecting table had already stood up, there were still two or three gunshot wounds on her face and forehead, Bai Guo's back hit the wall, and the things in her arms were scattered on the ground.
The corpse was not far from the door, even a little closer than her, Bai Guo swallowed, glad that she didn't close the door when she came in, but she didn't have anything in her hand, and she was hesitating to gamble.
Although the sound was not loud, Du Yan and the others still heard it.
Du Yan opened the door and shouted, "What's wrong?" ”
The corpse approached Bai Guo step by step, and Bai Guo retreated step by step, cold sweat dripping down his forehead, trying to call, but he couldn't make a sound.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Du Yan immediately took out his gun and walked towards the dissection room, and Lu Bing and Xiao Yu followed behind Du Yan with scalpels in their hands.
Bai Guo glanced at the tool table next to the dissecting table, where there was an axe they used to dissect corpses before, forced himself to calm down, and slammed the cabinet down, the cabinet was stuck on the dissecting table, Bai Guo ran over without looking back, picked up the axe, and slashed at the zombies that pounced.
The zombie fell softly, Du Yan and Xiao Yu Du Bing looked at the terrifying scene in front of them, and they didn't come back to their senses for a while.
The brain splattered Bai Guo's body, Bai Guo was afraid that he would drink the blood of the zombies, so he pursed his lips tightly, and finally couldn't help but throw up in front of the washstand.
Du Yan carefully took the two of them around the corpses that fell to the ground, and finally looked at the other dissecting table with anxiety, and saw that there were only some broken corpses on the dissecting table, and it was impossible to cheat the corpses anymore, so he was a little relieved, raised his hand and gently patted Bai Guo's back, and said, "You take a rest first, Lu Bing and I lock up this zombie." ”
