Although the people who attacked the villa in the middle of the lake acted savagely, they acted quite cautiously, leaving no clues for Gou Ke and his party to find some clues. The only catch was a diary found on He Hehe's body.

According to the previous agreement between Gou Cao and the commander of the northern and southern branches of the National Front, everything that may involve the movements of the corpse chasers should be recorded and should be used by the National Front, and Gou Cao can only keep a copy.

But the diary was completely soaked in blood, the handwriting was completely illegible, and most of the pages of the diary were glued together and could not be opened, making it difficult to read the information inside. In addition, most of the people in this diary are not too important. At the same time, considering the relationship between Gou Cao and these victims, the ownership of the diary still fell on Gou Cao's head in the end.

After the diary was in hand, Gou Ke put it in the medical cabin.

The medical chamber is inherently adapted to the treatment of various organisms, and the structure of the diary is much simpler than that of the human body. Moreover, the medical cabin originally had the function of cleaning up the blood stains on the wounded.

Under Cortana's control, and with the support of future cleaning and repair technology that can be accurate to the atomic level, the bloodstains on He Hehe's diary were quickly cleaned up. Although the smell of blood was still visible, the words on it were clearly legible.

On the way to the airport, Gou Ke probably flipped through the contents of this diary, most of which were trivial things in life. In addition to these, Gou Ke focused on a few of the more special records.

"On January 16, 2053, there are more and more reports of mass riots and indiscriminate attacks, but today is Yutian's birthday, and I have to go to her. …… On the way, someone bites another person's face to the point of a bloody blur...... No one tried to stop it, but ran to see it in a panic. I called the police and couldn't get through......

……

"February 3, 2053, cloudy ,...... My family was killed...... I escaped, and now all I have left is Yutian...... Thankfully, she didn't have an accident, but she also lost her family......

……

"February 7, 2053, overcast,...... Someone set up a shelter in the middle of the lake, and after learning about my professional skills, they agreed to take me and Yu Tian in......

……

"February 8, 2053, cloudy ,...... Everyone who evacuated turned into zombies and bit the other two survivors, and the current situation required everyone to be united, but everyone had to watch out for each other, and everyone would tie their feet when they slept at night, and they would also supervise the others to do the same......

"February 16, 2053, sunny ,...... I began to study the strange existence of zombies, which seemed to be a kind of irony of the principles of thermodynamics...... Some people disagree with me doing this, saying that I am wasting resources......"

……

The following diary is basically a transcript of the research on these zombies, and the conclusion was previously told to Gou Cao when Gou Cao first came, that is, about the behavior patterns of zombies and the hypothesis that zombies can photosynthesize to maintain energy consumption. But since April, the diary has gradually started to become a little absurd:

"April 21, 2053, light rain ,...... Something wasn't quite right, and every time I learned more about zombies, I felt more and more scary......

"April 22, 2053, cloudy ,...... I tried to write these thoughts down, but when I think about them, I always feel a chill down my spine and I don't want to think about them anymore......

……

"On April 24, 2053, Qing and Yu Tian noticed my strangeness and persuaded me to tell her what I was struggling with, but it was crazy...... Well, compared to zombies, my idea itself isn't too crazy......

"On April 25, 2053, after the daily routine of zombie testing, I began to think about whether I should tell anyone else what I thought...... No, I don't want others to think I'm a fool, it will put Yu Tian to shame......"

……

The diaries during this period of time are all in this style, He Hehe seems to have been troubled by something, like sitting on pins and needles, almost crazy, but he just refuses to write what it is in the diary. Fortunately, Youbai Yutian has been comforting him, until the end of May, he finally got rid of this kind of thing and began to reorganize the information about zombies.

"On June 7, 2053, Qing, my beloved Bai Yutian came back, and was rescued by a person named Gou Cao...... He showed great interest in my zombie trials...... We exchanged our understanding of zombies, which was very beneficial to me...

……

"On August 12, 2053, Qing, the man named Gou Cao came back with a convoy to the airport...... A lot of people died...... They brought back something strange...... An elongated specimen of parasitic multicellular fungi......

……

"On August 16, 2053, Haruna, looking at the mycelium of the lost fungus in the petri dish, that strange sense of uneasiness returned......

……

"August 21, 2053, cloudy,...... Multiple batches of experiments have proved that zombie viruses can parasitize not only parasitic fungi, but also many other parasitic organisms, and the hosts of these parasitic organisms infected by zombie viruses will show different degrees of zombieization after being parasitized......

……

"On August 25, 2053, it was cloudy, and I had to stop the experiment of infecting parasitic organisms with zombie viruses...... Thankfully, I've only tested for parasitism in insects so far......

……

"On October 3, 2053, it was cloudy and Gou Cao decided to leave, and I thought about confiding in him many times about the thoughts that were holding me in my heart and made me almost crazy, but in the end I still didn't say it...... I hope I'm thinking too much......

……

"On October 6, 2053, it was cloudy and new survivors joined, and one of the survivors brought back a top-secret government document stating that the source of the zombie virus was a meteorite block scattered by a meteor shower......

"October 7, 2053, cloudy, I stayed up all night last night and read that document over and over again,...... It was the last straw that broke my psychological defenses, and I kept thinking about all the information I had been exposed to so far...... It wasn't until the afternoon that I had to stop thinking of the crazy idea in the back of my head as a mere delusion, and start taking it as a serious scientific conjecture...... It scared my heart......

"Documents show that the meteorite fragments scattered by the meteorite shower were quite small. What I think is wrong is that this means that when they disperse into the atmosphere, the surface temperature of these meteorite blocks will not be too different from the core temperature, and the viruses that exist in them will have to be able to withstand temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees Celsius to survive......

"Generally speaking, the more extreme the environment, the simpler the genetic structure. But under this limitation, the zombie virus behaves too perfectly on Earth......

"For a virus to infect other organisms, it must have a corresponding genetic signature, otherwise it will not be able to be infected. Just as most plant viruses cannot infect animals...... But the virus's perfect adaptation to the human environment even makes me feel more like a native creature than an alien visitor......

"Plus its broad-spectrum ability to infect parasitic organisms...... It can also modify the genetic structure of parasitic organisms after infecting them, so that they can zombie their hosts......

"The requirements of zombieization for the virus are not only as simple as killing the main brain tissue of the infected, but also need to make reasonable adjustments to the physiological structure of the infected body...... It allows it to adapt to the new physiological structure and action mode after the zombie transformation......

"If it's just an extraterrestrial virus that happens to be able to infect life on Earth, it's very unlikely that it happens to be able to do all of the above......

"Before Lenovo, the virus had been dormant for years...... It only occurred in a short period of time after infecting all humans in the world...... It's all like someone carefully planned and developed this virus so that it can infect humans and parasitic organisms, adapt to extreme heat, and turn infected people into zombies without destroying the stability of the earth's ecology......

"All these knots show that ...... It is almost impossible for this virus to be the product of natural evolution...... I think it's time for me to tell anyone else about this......"

This is the longest journal entry, and the last......

"Cortana, stop, I think, plans have changed." Closing the diary, Gou Cao took a deep breath.
