Chapter 1: Simple Tasks
Early in the morning, when the first rays of sunlight hit Chu Zheng's face, he almost forgot where he was. The sky is no longer the same purple, and the blue sky and white clouds have finally appeared in front of people's eyes. The only difference is that the huge planet in the sky still exists, but it is more like a mirage, illusory and hazy, and it does not hinder the arrival of sunlight.
When I opened the door, I heard the familiar sound of a TV, and everything was as it had been.
"Uncle, you're awake." Fan Fan was watching TV, and the TV was an unfamiliar host, broadcasting unfamiliar news content.
"Network communication initially returned to normal, but due to the fall of multiple artificial satellites, the signal in some remote areas has not been restored."
According to the report of the National Bureau of Statistics, a total of 132 temporary security zones have been established in China. It sheltered 396.99 million people. ”
"The head of state of China issued a decree of the head of state, asking governments at all levels and the military to increase their efforts to rescue more people."
"The Secretary General of the League of Nations calls for the formation of a united, organized organization for all humanity to confront this worldwide crisis."
"The League of Nations Humanitarian Committee reported that in East Africa, the overall signal has collapsed, and there is no way to verify the current situation in East Africa."
"The government of the United States has announced that its president has been killed in the last days, and the vice president is now temporarily taking over the presidency."
At this time, Zhang Sst and others also came from their respective rooms, and when they heard the content in the news, Zhang St couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The president of the United States is hanging? Didn't you just turn into a zombie? ”
"It's not impossible, after all, age is there." Wang Fatzi said lazily.
"Can't you just look at something else? There are less than 400 million people left in the country" Xiang Baosteel rolled his eyes and said indignantly: "In other words, the first attack of those five dimensional spaces killed more than two-thirds of our compatriots. ”
"It's not that serious." Chu Zheng shook his head and analyzed: "The number of statistics is all from the security zone, if you look at the location of the security zone, most of them revolve around the major cities in the provinces, which means that there are still a large number of towns and villages that have not been counted, plus the people who have not yet been rescued, this number should be mentioned." ”
"Do you think there can be so many? Are they still alive? Xiang Baogang raised his head, Chu Zheng realized that there were tears in her eyes, this was the first time Chu Zheng saw Xiang Baosteel have such an expression, and the words in his mouth were a little speechless for a while. The vast majority of people were a little surprised when they saw the news, and Xiang Baosteel was obviously worried about those who did not enter the safe zone. But Xiang Baosteel didn't seem to be such a virgin before? Just as Chu Zheng was thinking about it, he suddenly remembered the sound of a knock on the door.
"Who?" Cao Wei hurriedly ran over to open the door, "Ah, it's Captain Sun Ming." ”
There was a man in military uniform standing at the door, the expression on his face was a little serious, Chu Zheng glanced at him and asked, "Captain Sun Ming, is there something wrong?" ”
"Mr. Chu, the mayor said that there is a task for you." Captain Sun Ming said as he walked into the room and handed over the documents in his hand.
Chu Zheng frowned, looking at the document in front of him, he was a little resistant, after all, he was not subordinate to the mayor, but when he was about to refuse, Xiang Baosteel took the document and handed it to him.
"Something seems to be going on." Xiang Baogang whispered in Chu Zheng's ear: "Brother Sun looks serious. ”
"Brother Sun?" Chu Zheng frowned, looked at Baosteel, and then at Captain Sun Ming in front of him, he felt that Xiang Baosteel's behavior was a little strange, when did she know Captain Sun Ming? When it comes to scavenging zombies?
Chu Zheng opened the document and read the content above at a glance, the content was very simple, that is, let Chu Zheng go somewhere in Spring City to find Dr. Chen, it is said that this doctor has researched the latest anti-zombie infection drugs. But fortunately, the direction to Dr. Chen had already been cleared out of a distance of about twenty kilometers, and Chu Zheng only needed to move forward for more than ten kilometers, so this was not a difficult task, and it could even be said to be a simple task.
"Why are you looking for me?" Chu Zheng asked suspiciously: "Similar to this kind of task, wouldn't it be okay to find a team of people to break through?" ”
"Because only Mr. Chu can protect Dr. Chen's safety, we got information that the Tyrant Realm, that is, the zombie dimensional space, is also looking for Dr. Chen." Captain Sun Ming said with the same expression.
Chu Zheng nodded, expressing understanding, after all, if he was here, he could indeed keep Dr. Chen from being infected by zombies, but? Chu Zheng frowned, still feeling that there were some contradictions and weirdness here, but thinking of the urgency of the matter, some of the incongruities in the middle were automatically ignored.
"Okay, I took this task, when will I leave?" Chu Zheng still agreed to accept this task, after all, compared to himself, Dr. Chen's medicine can prevent more people from being infected by zombies.
"The sooner the better, I'll drive you straight there." Captain Sun Ming turned to the side and pointed to the car outside the door.
"Let's go, then." Chu Zheng didn't think much about it, so he followed Captain Sun Ming into the car.
The car started and drove out of the safety zone with a small sound, and the soldiers at the door saluted Chu Zheng, and Chu Zheng also nodded in response, all of which seemed to be very ordinary.
Along the way, Chu Zheng looked at the scenery outside, and developed this road that he was very familiar with, it was the original high school weekend home well-being road, when was it cleared out? Chu Zheng thought about it and found that there seemed to be Wang Fatzi's words in his head.
"Hey, I said Lao Chu, why don't you clean up Fufu Road and go north?"
"It's good to be able to connect to the safety zone of North Lake to the north." Chu Zheng remembered that he had answered him like this at the beginning, but now Chu Zheng looked at the smooth environment all the way, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, "When was this road cleared?" Just when Chu Zheng felt that he seemed to have grasped something, a sharp brake suddenly interrupted his thinking.
"Mr. Chu, the place ahead has not been cleaned, let's park the car here and sneak into the past on foot." Captain Sun Ming said to Chu Zheng.
"Oh, okay." Chu Zheng nodded, gave up the question he had been thinking about before, and followed behind Captain Sun Ming. The two walked for more than ten minutes, and Chu Zheng couldn't help but sigh that Captain Sun Ming's ability to infiltrate was very strong, avoiding most of the dangers, and only a few zombies that couldn't get around were solved by Chu Zheng.
But as he gradually moved forward, the zombies he encountered became more dense, so the number of Chu Zheng's shots also increased. As for Captain Sun Ming, he didn't make a move, but Chu Zheng didn't think there was any problem, after all, he was just a guide.
Time was gradually moving forward, and Chu Zheng suddenly found that the Yuan Energy in his body was about six or seven percent left, and he couldn't help asking, "How far is it?" How do I feel like I've come a long way? ”
"No, you feel wrong." Captain Sun Ming replied with a smile. Looking at his smile, Chu Zheng always felt that there was a sense of schadenfreude in it, which felt very strange, but when he saw the navigation information displayed in his mobile phone, he had indeed just walked two or three kilometers.
"Is it so slow?" Chu Zheng frowned, he looked at his watch, although he didn't know when he started to get out of the car and leave, but the first time he looked at his watch, at least twenty minutes have passed. At the speed of two people, did they only walk two or three kilometers? This seems a little unscientific.
"What do you think? There are still a few kilometers to go. Captain Sun Ming saw that Chu Zheng was standing still, and his face was a little more anxious.
Chu Zheng looked at Captain Sun Ming's face, and thought of Dr. Chen's importance, so he nodded at the moment and stopped thinking about it. "Let's go, let's speed up a little bit this time."
"Okay, okay." Seeing that Chu Zheng was willing to continue walking, Captain Sun Ming exhaled with relief, and led the way in front again, this time the speed of his march really accelerated a lot, and not a single zombie found them, which also saved Chu Zheng a lot of Yuan Energy, but obviously the density of zombies now is not much different from before, why couldn't he hide before?
An hour later, the two arrived at their destination, a building with the words "Heiji Pharmaceutical" written on it. "Mr. Chu, let's go quickly, the doctor should be on the seventeenth floor." Captain Sun Ming said, leading the way into the building.
"Okay." Chu Zheng didn't hesitate, but when he entered the building, the zombies were not so easy to dodge. Fortunately, there are not many zombies in the corridor, and Chu Zheng is not so difficult to solve.
Rushing up to the seventeenth floor in one breath, Chu Zheng saw Captain Sun Ming kick open the door of the research institute, and a middle-aged man in a white coat was lying inside.
Chu Zheng also hurried over, and found that this person was about thirty years old, with obvious traces of years on his face, his finger bones were thick, and his figure was relatively strong, it seemed that he was doing regular exercise, and the skin on his whole body at this time was already a little white, and there was blood between his lips and teeth, which was a sign of zombie infection.
"It's not good, Dr. Chen is infected, Mr. Chu hurry up and save him." Seeing this, Captain Sun Ming hurriedly shouted for help.
"Good, good. Holy Light. Chu Zheng shone the Holy Light Yuan Energy on Dr. Chen, and at this time, Captain Sun Ming frowned, took a few steps back, and avoided the range of the Holy Light.
Under the divine light, Dr. Chen's complexion gradually became rosy, but there seemed to be no tendency to be awakened. "What's going on?" Chu Zheng squatted down, wanting to check on Dr. Chen's current situation, but suddenly, a strong sense of crisis rushed to his mind.
"Whew!" The cold wind hit and rushed straight to Chu Zheng's back heart. Chu Zheng subconsciously pounced forward, only to feel that a strong wind cut through his right ribs, and his clothes were torn through a gap.
Chu Zheng pushed the ground with both hands, and the whole person jumped backwards, put on a posture of attacking, and looked ahead, but found that at some point, there were four more strangely dressed people at the gate.
Immediately afterwards, some scenes in Chu Zheng's mind shattered like glass, and his spirit was shocked, and he couldn't help but curse secretly: "It's a trick!" ”
