Chapter 27: The Last Days 2
On January 23, the sun did not rise, and the earth was still dark.
At this time, except for Lian Zi and some people who had taken the elixir, everyone else was still unconscious.
Murong Yue and Murong Heng sent most of the Murong family's forces and part of the army to start their plan.
The people of the Murong family mainly carried out tasks in the shadows, and Murong Heng wanted to eliminate the enemies of the Murong family while everyone was in a coma now.
Now, after officially entering the end times, the social order will completely collapse, and then a unified and powerful ZF will be needed to lead everyone. In this way, decisions can be made and effectively implemented in the shortest possible time.
Therefore, the southwest region only needs one leader of the Murong family.
But even though the southwest region is the stronghold of the Murong family, there are still many political and other enemies.
What Murong Heng and Murong Yue have to do now is to pull out these nails.
And the army is sent for prevention.
Now the people are unconscious, and the whole country is in silence, but this is only the calm before the storm. When they wake up, they don't know what to expect.
Therefore, Murong Yue sent 50,000 people to 50 big cities. These cities have a permanent population of more than 500,000, accounting for the majority of the urban population.
To the comfort of the Murong family, because of the early warning and the forced intervention of ZF, most of the factory traffic stopped running. Therefore, until now, there have not been many accidents, and the casualties caused are still under control.
You know, there are many heavy industries and chemical factories in China. Once those factories start operating, if they are not stopped in accordance with scientific methods, as long as there is a little accident in the middle, it may cause an explosion or leakage, which will cause great harm to society.
――
After two days of such calm, some of the unconscious people finally began to wake up.
Some of them are still normal, but others are terrible - they have become zombies.
In fact, Murong Yue and the others couldn't be completely sure if those people really became zombies.
But after observing their behavior, Murong Yue's people conducted a series of experiments, and those "people" completely lost their minds and would only rely on instinct to find food. Of course, its food is people and fresh meat.
Among the people who woke up, only about 10% of them became zombies, but Murong Yue didn't feel relaxed at all.
The probability of 10% may seem low, but do not forget that this is in the army. The physical fitness of soldiers is much better than that of ordinary people, and they are not easy to be infected, and taking the elixir given by Lian Zi reduces the risk of infection.
But even so, 10% of people still turn into zombies, and Murong Yue can imagine how high the infection rate in the outside world will be.
After the experiment was confirmed, Murong Yue knew that those who had turned into zombies had completely lost their minds, so he directly issued a military order: those who were infected and turned into zombies were killed on the spot.
Of course, the end of the world has just begun, and many people's minds are still stuck in peacetime, and even if those people have turned into zombies, there are still many people who are hoping to develop an antidote to rescue them and restore them to normal.
So, in their hearts, they feel that this is just a special disease, and one day, these people will be cured. Therefore, they resolutely disagreed with Murong Yue's decision, feeling that it was too brutal and inhumane to kill those people directly.
However, the opposition of those people was useless, and what Murong Yue had decided could not be changed.
Murong Yue had also thought deeply before giving this order, and he knew very well what kind of uproar his order would cause. He doesn't regret it, though.
According to the reports of his subordinates, those who were unconscious would all wake up in a day or two at most. If the previous speculation is correct, the proportion of zombies in the general population will increase exponentially.
When the time comes, ZF simply won't be able to manage these zombies. If the order is not allowed to kill zombies at will, more people will be in danger.
So, the best thing to do now is to give everyone a clear order from the beginning, that the zombies will no longer be legitimate citizens, and they can be killed in self-defense.
Moreover, Murong Yue believed that even if he didn't give this order, after the society was in chaos, someone would take the initiative to kill the zombies.
Therefore, Murong Yue didn't have to worry too much about the trouble that this military order would bring to him.
Now, the army is temporarily stable under the control of the Murong family. As for the officials on ZF's side, the Murong family didn't have to pay attention to them at all.
If it was in peacetime, the people on ZF's side would still be a little troublesome, but in the last days, strength is king. Without the support of the state apparatus, those officials are nothing more than paper tigers, and they do not pose much of a threat at all.
――
After dealing with the zombies in the army, Murong Yue asked people to give this order to the army sent out. They can improvise and act cheaply according to their situation.
At this point, the hidden dangers in the army were temporarily eliminated, and the strength of the army was preserved.
And in the previous life, it was not so lucky.
At that time, the people of the Murong family were not in the Southwest Military Region, and there was no advance warning, and half of the people became zombies after the end of the world. In addition, at first, everyone did not understand the situation and did not dare to kill people at will, and missed the best opportunity, so that many soldiers were scratched and bitten and were also infected.
It wasn't until later, when the situation became more and more serious, that the top brass in the army ordered someone to clean up the zombies. It's just that the army at this time has already suffered heavy losses.
In this life, Murong Yue came to the Southwest Military Region in advance and controlled the army, and the situation was naturally much better than in the previous life.
