Chapter Thirty-Seven: Embattled
After completing the on-site arrangement for Hawkeye, Chen Lu left the building, watching from a distance as the S.H.I.E.L.D. rescue helicopter came to rescue Hawkeye, who was about to become Chen Lu's pawn, and left the blockaded Queens, New York. Through the exchange with Hawkeye www.biquge.info Chen Lu also has a certain understanding of the current situation, and he needs to discuss his next actions with Alex.
New York near the Queens blockade at half past four in the morning
On the roof of a building, Chen Lu quietly looked down at the majestic temporary high wall in front of him, on which the US military team was patrolling at any time, and the high spotlights illuminated the vicinity of the high wall as bright as day. Behind the high wall, there are several main battle tanks and soldier armored vehicles, and a Black Hawk helicopter is on patrol, providing powerful fire support if it detects a zombie attack.
"Master." While Chen Lu was watching the blockade, Alex had quietly come behind him, kneeling down on one knee and saluting him.
Chen Lu casually waved his hand to make Alex stand up, looked at the blockade line of the US army and asked, "Alex, can we break through the blockade line here with our current strength?" How long will it take to infect all Americans? ”
"Heavy casualties are expected, but the U.S. military's defensive layout is still very hasty, and breaking through the blockade should not be a problem. And to infect all Americans, even if the most efficient method of infection, will take at least a month. ”
"A month, huh." Chen Lu sneered and deduced the development in his heart, and finally shook his head helplessly and said: "No, this is enough for other countries to use nuclear bombs to flatten the United States dozens of times." If we don't spread the virus to most of the world, even if we break through this line of defense, our best outcome is to die with the United States. ”
If Chen Lu commands the zombie army to break through this blockade and announce to the world that the U.S. government has lost control of the zombie virus, then it will not take a day for all the zombies to be ruthlessly blown into ashes by all mankind with nuclear bombs and the American people.
A rash attack is simply self-defeating.
After understanding Chen Lu's thoughts, Alex also said with a bitter face: "But after the news of the zombie virus was known to other countries, they all coincidentally blocked all customs for the United States, even if the mutant infected people can mix into the crowd, they will not be able to reach other countries." Even if you can get there, at most there will be an outbreak of the virus in six places at the same time, which is really not a global virus infection. ”
Chen Lu naturally understands that it is not a simple matter to create a global virus outbreak, at least not with their current strength. Therefore, it is important to consider taking advantage of some large organizations. For example, the Hydra organization, which has been trying to rule the whole world, would definitely be a good pawn to be used.
"I know what to do." The method of using the hydra to spread the zombie virus quickly took shape in Chen Lu's mind.
As we talked, dawn had quietly fallen, a glimmer of yellow light emerged from the east, a corner of the sun slowly emerged on the horizon, and the night was slowly being dispelled. Although it had been a week since he came to this world, this was the first time Chen Lu had seen the dawn of this time. However, dawn does not bode well for zombies.
"Alex, you know more about the world than I do, predict what will happen next." Chen Lu said towards the dawn that broke through the night.
"Okay, master. The U.S. military decided to gather an overwhelming superior force to attack again because it was worried about adding new strength to the zombies, and it is expected that it will take another week at most to assemble the army. At the same time, almost all biologists around the world have invested in the research and development of virus vaccines, and it is expected that the initial vaccine will be developed in a month or two. ”
A full-scale attack will be launched to eliminate all living zombies in a week at most, and a vaccine research and development will be completed in two months at most to completely eliminate all zombie viruses, and the engine of mankind to fight the catastrophe of the world has already been fully activated. If you want to describe Chen Lu's current situation, that is-
Embattled.
It's no wonder that even in an ordinary earth plane like "Resident Evil" that does not have powerful forces such as superhero mutants, the T virus has to rely on the ridiculously powerful organization like Ambrera to continuously plan and operate behind the scenes to successfully destroy the world. And in this Marvel world, there is only one person who dominates the zombie virus, Chen Lu is the only one, and if he wants to destroy the world, he must do dozens of times better than the entire Ambrera company combined.
And how easy is that?
But things always have to be solved step by step, and Chen Lu doesn't intend to give up easily. The most critical point is, of course, the survival of the virus itself, and he asked Alex: "Alex, if I control the zombie virus to devour the desperate virus and make it evolve and mutate, will the vaccine that humans have studied before still be effective?" ”
"Of course not, the evolved zombie virus will be a completely new virus, and humans will have to re-develop a vaccine with a new virus to be effective."
As expected, it is really great news, as long as Chen Lu can continue to evolve with the zombie virus, then the vaccines studied by humans will never be effective. This is a contest between scientific and technological progress and the speed of virus evolution, at least Chen Lude has to ensure that the zombie virus will not be completely eliminated by vaccines.
So the second point, how to deal with the impending US attack? It is undoubtedly fanciful to want to get ahead of them and spread the virus to the world in just one week, and at the same time, you can't break through the Queens blockade and bring yourself a nuclear bomb, so do you want to give up the one million zombies here?
No, Chen Lu didn't plan to do that. Although the virus outbreak in Queens was an accident, it was also a surprise to have a mutant infected person born from the zombies, and even the birth of an advisor-type character like Alex, keeping this group of zombies might be able to breed some effective power to help Chen Lu destroy the world, at least try to keep them from the US military.
There will be an inevitable big battle between the zombie army and the human army.
Of course, the strength of ordinary zombies is not enough to be the enemy of the US army, so Chen Lu ordered Alex: "Alex, you use the zombie virus test to infect all kinds of creatures, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, all the creatures you can find try to be modified with zombie viruses, these animals are likely to be of great help to us." There's also this - the zombie virus stock solution, test what kind of effect it still hides, and report it to me tomorrow. ”
Chen Lu also guessed that the zombie virus has various magical effects, such as whether the zombie virus stock solution can be thrown into the sea to infect the world through the earth's water cycle, or let mosquitoes be infected with the virus, maybe it can make the virus popular all over the world like dengue fever, and even let the cold virus and the zombie virus merge together, then Chen Lu can sit back and relax. But all of this is just an unrealistic fantasy generated by a big brain before the test, and what the zombie virus can do can only be concluded after actual testing.
Now Chen Lu is in a grim situation where he can never recover if he takes one wrong step, and he always thinks that he can achieve victory by doing what he does, and it is only at the implementation stage that he finds that the virus does not have such a strong effect at all, which is too ridiculous, ridiculous enough to be one of the most funny villains in history.
Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and unless it is a last resort, Chen Lu will only use proven and effective means. After all, Chen Lu was not a god, so he could only use his mortal wisdom as much as possible.
If the virus itself was long enough to destroy the world, then what is the point of Chen Lu's existence? I believe that the system will not do such a retarded thing.
