Chapter 51: The Zombie Siege (2)

"Ahhhh......h Don't be a demon! Didn't the instructor teach you that you can't do anything else while driving? Do you have a driver's license? ”

"Driver's license?" Someone shrugged and said it was the first time they had heard the word, "Human society is ruined, what do you need a driver's license for?" ”

"Are you driving without a license?"

"I've been driving without a license for many years. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info"Someone is proud," there won't be a traffic police officer in this place to stop your car...... If something does come out of here to stop your car, instead of stopping and showing your ID, you have to run over it! ”

Zhao Gao whistled briskly, slammed the accelerator, and the Hummer rushed up the hill, the 6.5-liter V8 engine letting out a low roar that made the adrenaline rush secretion.

Zhao Gao's neurotic driving is extremely crazy, his pursuit of speed is comparable to that of a racing driver on an F1 track, all the way to more than 100 yards, but his driving style is as casual as driving a pickup truck on a country road in the United States, and he likes to slam on the accelerator while playing heavy metal music, and the brakes are superfluous to him.

Zhao Gao slammed the steering wheel, and the Hummer made a beautiful drifting corner, and the tires rubbed against the asphalt road surface violently, making a sharp hissing sound. The Jeep with a high chassis like the Hummer has a high center of gravity, and when it floats, all four wheels are almost off the ground.

"Drive safely! Oops......" Lu Xun hit his head on the inner frame of the car, "Drive safely!" ”

"It's fine." Zhao Gao turned his head and patted the steering wheel of the car with a smile, "Military jeep, solid leather, can't be broken." ”

"That's not what I'm talking about!" Lu Xun covered his head and grinned in pain, "It's me who will finish you if you go on like this!" ”

"Oh......" Zhao Gao slowed down.

Lu Xun turned his head to look out the window, there were barren ruins on both sides of the road, and the high-rise buildings of reinforced concrete were slowly weathered, although they had been abandoned for many years, those rows of buildings still stood tall, but the original gorgeous surfaces were peeled off by the wind and rain for many years, leaving only gray and brown skeletons.

Through these complex wreckage, Lu Xun can also faintly see the prosperity of the city back then.

Gravel and rubble were piled up on the sidewalks, and sixty yards of speed limit warning signs slanted to the side of the road, yellow paint mottled and numbers blurred, revealing the rusty metal underneath.

The jeep sped off the road, this was the first time Lu Xun ran so far, he looked at this deserted world in a daze, and suddenly had an illusion in his heart, just like the scene in a western film, the protagonist drove on the desert of the western United States, and extreme vicissitudes and loneliness came to his face.

But the biggest difference between this and the West is ...... If you're in the wilderness of the western United States, you're sure to come across towns along the road, and you know you're not alone, and there's someone waiting for you.

But here, you're following the road, and you're going from one ruin to another, from one desolation to another.

For the first time, Lu Xun really realized that the original "end times" were such a feeling...... It's so heavy that it's unbearable loneliness, so lonely that I want to hug anyone I touch.

"Every lonely heart is barren to the point of overgrown weeds." These are the words that Zhao Gao said when describing them much later.

The stereo in the car played the song "ThePhoenix" by Fall–Out–Boy at maximum volume, which Lu Xun had heard before, and the rich music accompanied by a strong rhythm sounded like a war song...... No wonder Zhao Gao drove the car and stepped on the accelerator without restraint.

In Zhao Gao's words, when a man goes to the battlefield, he must have an exciting BGM.

“Put-on-your-war-paint.”

“You-are-a-brick-tied-to-me-that's-dragging-me-down.”

“Strike-a-match-and-l'll-burn-you-to-the-ground……”

Lu Xun propped his head and looked out the window, and also hummed.

"Lu Xun, have you ever seen zombies before?" Zhao Gao asked.

"Huh?" Lu Xun was stunned and shook his head, "No." ”

"Is your amnesia so bad...... Don't you remember the last twenty years? Zhao Gao rolled his eyes, and the jeep ran over a piece of gravel on the road, and the whole car was turned into the air.

"Drive and look ahead! Drive and look ahead, bastard! Do you want us both to die here? Lu Xun covered his head and wailed.

Zhao Gao twisted his head back, "In your heart, what is the image of a zombie?" ”

"Zombies...... Judging by the film and television materials I have watched such as "Resident Evil" and "The Walking Dead", it must be a living corpse that is in tatters, limping when walking, with an IQ that is not on the line, and only thinks about eating all day long, right? Lu Xun said, "Don't tell me that the zombies here are wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms, walking with their hands raised and jumping up......"

"That's pretty much right...... Zombies were first born as monsters in people's hearts, and it can be said that they are the embodiment of people's fear of death, but because the image of this thing is very in line with the public's taste, so as early as the last century, people's imagination of zombies has been rotten on the street, and the earliest zombie movie was "Night of the Living Dead" in the sixties of the last century, which almost established the image of the living dead of zombies. Zhao Gao said, "But because the image of zombies is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, many people think that zombies are real...... There were even people who specialized in what to do in case of a zombie outbreak one day, which seemed like a joke at the time, but after the outbreak of the apocalyptic virus, the first people to really survive happened to be these people. ”

"This ...... This is just a secondary and second disease patient who was too deeply poisoned in "The Walking Dead", right......"

Zhao Gao glanced at him, "In fact, the word zombie first came from a sect in Africa, Voodoo, or voodoo, and there are rumors that there have been real zombie cases in Haiti...... However, the zombies of Voodoo and the zombies we have now are completely different things, and the former is just trying to control people's minds with drugs...... But the zombies after the outbreak of the apocalyptic virus are really similar to "The Walking Dead" or "Resident Evil", and they are truly immortal monsters. ”

"How the zombies appeared, I told you before, do you remember?"

Lu Xun nodded, "It seems that the virus has infected the human brain and mutated the cells in the human body......"

"That's right, in essence, it's a parasite." Zhao Gao said, "The doomsday virus has taken the place of the human brain and controlled the human body, have you ever heard of such a thing as 'a mouse that dares to bite a cat'?" ”

"A mouse that dares to bite a cat?" Lu Xun was stunned, "Don't you want to die?" ”

"It's really a bad thing, mice that dare to bite cats exist, and in some cases mice will take the initiative to send them to the door and let the cat eat themselves." Zhao Gao nodded, "This kind of strange thing is actually a kind of toxoplasma gondii, which will infect the brains of mice, so that crazy mice will take the initiative to provoke cats, and after being eaten by cats, this parasite will expand and reproduce in the cat's body...... Some hookworms also control the snail's nerves, allowing it to crawl into plain sight and be eaten by birds, which then breed everywhere. ”

Lu Xun shuddered, "It's disgusting." ”

"I'm giving you these examples just to illustrate...... In nature, this doomsday virus-like situation already exists. Zhao Gao said, "It's just that the object of their infection is not human." ”

Lu Xun suddenly realized what Zhao Gao was talking about...... Humans are only a member of the biosphere, and apart from advanced intelligence and powerful tools, humans are essentially no different from other living beings, so ...... The existence of the Doomsday Virus is not unpredictable at all.

"But the mechanism of action of doomsday viruses is much more complex than that of parasites." "It's not just about simply controlling the human body...... Sit tight, check your weapons, we're about to head into the heart of the box. ”

Lu Xun's hand touched Beretta on his waist, relieved him a little, and nodded.
