Chapter 52: The Zombie Siege (3)

Zhao Gao parked the car in the parking lot, and Lu Xun pushed the door to get out of the car, looking around. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

There was an emptiness and dead silence all around, Lu Xun stood in the middle of the intersection and raised his head, more than ten floors of buildings rose in front of his eyes, the dark glass curtain wall had long been shattered, only gray steel and cement remained, and faded and whitish advertisements hung in the air like rags and fluttered in the wind.

The road is lined with rows of high-rise buildings, abandoned for many years, but still showing the pre-apocalyptic prosperity, in the years before the crisis erupted, it was the youngest and most fashionable area in the world, Versace, Prada and Louis Vuitton dominated the eyeballs, and young girls dressed in Chanel and Hermès walked down the street in twos and threes, their pretty shadows reflected on the smooth terrazzo floor.

"The ancients once said, 'The shadow of the idle cloud pool is long, and the stars change and move a few degrees of autumn?' Where is the emperor in the pavilion now, and the Yangtze River is empty outside the threshold. Now it seems that I am not deceived. Lao Jia sighed, "This is really the Great Wall of China, and I don't see Qin Shi Huang back then." ”

"Wang Bo's "Poems of King Teng's Pavilion", right?" Lu Xun took a deep breath, "That's just describing the passage of time, okay...... Now in this scenario, it should be more appropriate to use 'thinking about the world and the world, and crying alone', right? ”

"The glorious civilization of mankind for thousands of years...... It's like a dream. Lao Jia said.

"We've gone deep into the heart of the no-go zone." Zhao Gao got out of the car with his suitcase, "This is no longer a safe zone, and it is very dangerous around...... I need to remind you of a few caveats. ”

Lu Xun nodded.

"The first point...... When leaving the security zone, you must carry a weapon with you, generally two hundred meters away from the academy with a gun, and five hundred meters from the bullet loaded. Zhao Gao opened the box to check the weapon, and the rifle more than one meter long lay quietly in the shock-resistant sponge, "We are now more than ten kilometers away from the safety zone, so we must ensure that all weapons are in the best condition and can be used when they are picked up." ”

Lu Xun remembered those who conducted scientific expeditions in the Arctic, and in order to guard against polar bears, they also left the scientific research station 200 meters with guns...... But the Land Patrol now has to deal with zombies and hunters, creatures that are much more terrifying than polar bears.

Zhao Gao took out the rifle for inspection and pulled the bolt, which was an L96A1 sniper rifle, a pure-blooded British-made firearm, 7.62 mm caliber, known for its high precision.

"Second, when operating outside the safety zone, the range of activity cannot exceed a circle with a radius of 500 meters with the vehicle as the center, that is...... You can't leave the car for 500 meters. Zhao Gao continued, "This is to deal with some emergencies, sometimes the appearance of zombies is very sudden, you may not be able to react to be surrounded by groups, if the distance is too far you can not get in the car in time to evacuate...... Then you're dead. ”

"Once surrounded by a horde of zombies, it is difficult for even the hummingbird group to get out, let alone ordinary people." Zhao Gao continued, "But at this time, if you have a Humvee, you can run it out." ”

Lu Xun turned his head and glanced at Zhao Gao's jeep parked not far away, and secretly measured the distance in his heart.

"Third...... Stay away from all buildings unless necessary. Zhao Gao pressed the bullets into the magazine one by one, "The buildings in the restricted area are extremely dangerous, you will never know what is hidden in those high-rise buildings, zombies will not wander the road all day long, they will also hide in the house......"

"Hidden in the house?" Lu Xun was stunned, "What are they hiding in the house for?" ”

"Hibernating." Zhao Gao replied, "I need to correct a wrong notion of yours...... Although real zombies look similar to the zombies in movies and TV shows like "Resident Evil" and "The Walking Dead", there is a big difference between the two, and you can't guess them completely from the monsters in movies and games. ”

"Don't think of zombies as some kind of supernatural thing, like a corpse summoned by a magical sorcery resurrection, they are still living beings in nature...... It is not sorcery or magic that supports their activities, but energy. Although zombies are lifeless dead people, the doomsday virus and the cells on the corpse are alive, since they are alive, then they have to consume energy, so zombies are not unlimited, otherwise they can all wander all the way from Northern Europe to the Shandong Peninsula. ”

Lu Xun nodded dumbly, to be honest, he did treat zombies as some kind of monster with unlimited movement before.

"Zombies get their energy mainly from food, and they also hunt, but when they can't catch their prey...... They then go dormant to conserve energy. Zhao Gao pointed around, "These high-rise buildings in the city, with complex structures and rows of buildings, have become their best hiding places, so you can't rush open the door of a certain room, because you don't know if there is a bunch of drooling zombies waiting to eat behind the door." ”

Lu Xun shuddered.

"Wait...... You say zombies hunt? ”

"yes, wasn't it unexpected? The zombies in your eyes are not those who are slow-moving, greedy and brainless living dead? Zhao Gao glanced at him.

Lu Xun nodded.

"That's just some zombies, some zombies are very agile, you see "Resident Evil"...... Aren't the zombies in it all brainless living dead, and in the later parts, aren't there still strange zombies that can ride a motorcycle and chase down the protagonist? ”

"That's just a movie crashing......" Lu Xun covered his face.

"Zombies are very sensitive to the breath of living creatures, they can often detect creatures within thirty to fifty meters, and once you step into this range, the dormant zombies will revive and pounce on you together." Zhao Gao said, "The specific mechanism of action is not too clear yet...... According to Dr. Chainsaw's speculation, the Doomsday Virus is supposed to be able to sense very small amounts of carbon dioxide and temperature changes in the air, so as long as it is something with body temperature and breathing, it will be attacked by them. ”

Lu Xun looked up, the doors and windows of the surrounding high-rise buildings were black holes, Lu Xun looked like a group of zombies in ambush, and the original sadness and sadness had long been thrown out of the clouds.

"Actually...... There is one of the biggest reasons for not being able to get close to the building. Zhao Gao slapped the magazine into the gun.

"What?"

"It's a hunter." "Many hunters are afraid of daylight, so they don't come out during the day, and they usually lurk in buildings. ”

"Hunters are our biggest threat, and the strength of these monsters is something we can't resist." Zhao Gao put the gun on his back and sighed, "As long as the hunters are not exterminated, the human race will never be able to become strong again...... But this war, we are too far from their strength. ”

Zhao Gao turned around and stepped into the tall building, "Keep up...... I'll take you to see the real zombies. ”

"Huh?" Lu Xun was stunned, "Hey, hey, hey...... You just said you couldn't enter the building? ”

Zhao Gao waved his hand and laughed, "Those are all dogmas, isn't the meaning of dogma used to break them?" ”
