Chapter 10: Darkness Falls
Tongchuan Railway Station. The crowd had to get off here, because there was a terrible news in the afternoon.
A 10.5-magnitude earthquake struck the city of Xijing, where they had to pass, and the entire city was reduced to rubble. And even more desperate, and in the next few minutes. A large number of people infected with rabies type I virus have emerged among earthquake survivors.
The whole city was thrown into chaos, and only the strength of four regiments symbolically organized search and rescue on the edge of the city. No one mentioned what would happen to Xijing, a city of nearly 10 million people. What will happen to those who still survive in the city.
They were abandoned. That's what most people think.
There are more and more apocalyptic rhetoric on the internet, first with a terrible mutation of the virus, and then with a once-in-a-century earthquake. And it's hard to believe that the virus started to break out after the earthquake. There has been an exponential increase in law and order incidents across the country. At this time, the army turned into a fire brigade, rushing to the cities and towns where the virus broke out.
Every hour now, the country's top leaders make some encouraging words on television. It is nothing more than solidarity to get through the difficult time, and we are working hard to develop a vaccine, and the virus outbreak after the Xijing earthquake this afternoon is purely coincidental. However, there has never been an answer to the question of the characteristics of rabiesxi virus and the method of isolation. One can feel that even these leaders have no confidence in this virus, which is suddenly changing and constantly mutating.
Ling Wu learned from Will's mouth.
The rabies virus may be in a mutation cycle. As for the length of the cycle, he said that he did not know, but he could know that the virus would become more and more terrifying.
There is no doubt that the situation is deteriorating dramatically.
A few people were looking for dinner in Tongchuan City in the afternoon, and the boss asked for 100 yuan a head. Just give each person a bowl of noodles with an egg. The food in the supermarket was snapped up. The prices of vinegar, salt, and alcohol are sky-high. But it was still sold out. There have been a lot of violent incidents, forced relations between men and women, fights, and so on. The whole society is on the verge of collapse.
Ling Wu and his entourage decided not to stay in Tongchuan anymore, and immediately transferred from Tongchuan to Yan'an, and then transferred to Zhengzhou. In the city of D by high-speed rail from Zhengzhou.
After a short break, the group came to the bus station. The news I got was that the tickets were sold out. It will be tomorrow morning at the earliest. "We can't wait, we can continue at this pace. It won't be long before those leaders lose control. "Ling Wu is very sure." We drove to Yan'an. “
Liu Qianshou nodded, knowing what to do. "Mr. Will, I think your personal fantasies may be becoming reality little by little." Ling Wu said with a wry smile.
Will smiled wryly. As a microbiologist, you know very well what it means for a virus to mutate several times in just a few days. This is just the beginning. He sometimes doesn't even feel like he needs any other accidents, and that this virus alone can destroy humanity. "O God, please forgive us." Will prayed in his heart.
"Daddy, can we live?" Ellie asked Will worriedly.
"Of course. We'll live. Will replied in the affirmative.
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Ling Wu was a little worried about the situation in D City.
A Jinbei van threw off the seat and stopped in front of several people. "Get in the car, there are a lot of zombies in front of you."
Ling Wu Weiqing saw that several figures behind the Jinbei car were rushing towards him, Ling Wu opened the door of the van and motioned for a few people to get into the car quickly. At the same time, there were people at the station behind them who ran out in a panic.
"Help. Help me. "The people running in front are wearing the work clothes of the station. There were others shouting behind him.
Ling Wu didn't hesitate to get in the car and close the door, the van was only so big. It's impossible to bring anyone else with you anymore.
Liu Qian kicked the accelerator with his hand, and the van quickly left.
Ling Wu's face was a little heavy. "Mr. Will, are these people infected through the air?"
"I'm afraid so." Will was a little depressed, and what he had been fearing had finally happened.
Wei Qing said with a lonely expression: "The last straw that crushed the camel." This society, no, the world is going to collapse. “
Liu Qianshou didn't understand what a few people were talking about, so he asked, "What's the matter, is there any difference between the people who were infected this time?" ”
Ling Wu and Wei Qing were in no mood to speak. Will put together the language to explain as simply as possible: "If I'm not mistaken, most of these people have not been exposed to the source of infection, but have been infected by inhaling the virus in the air. Will paused and continued, "This means that even if you haven't been bitten by animals or people who have turned into those monsters, you can become zombies. Maybe in the next second, I'll pounce on you and bite you. Maybe you'll suddenly pounce on me and ask me for a bite in the next second. “
Liu Qianshou only felt that cold sweat soaked his back.
"The Dark Ages are coming," the little fool suddenly said.
Several people thought it was very appropriate.
The Dark Ages are coming!
"Be careful." Wei Qing suddenly shouted.
Suddenly, a car crashed into them. Liu Qianshou braked sharply and avoided the car. The sedan plunged headlong into the green belt on the side of the road. Then a man is going to roar and rush towards the car. "Bumper bumper bumper." The figure kept slamming his fist against the hood of the car. Ling Wu saw the hood sink in under the figure's madness. The figure smashed for more than a minute. Suddenly squatted down and shouted: "Ah~~~~!" "This figure actually lifted the car into the air. The sedan spun around twice in the air, and the four wheels fell into the sky.
Liu Qianshou was still in a daze, and Ling Wu pushed him hard. "Hurry up, what's the daze!"
Liu Qianshou reacted at this time and immediately started the car.
"Whew!"
Then the figure was startled by the sound of the car starting, looked towards the van, and then rushed quickly.
Liu Qianshou stepped on the accelerator sharply, and the car rushed out of the distance at once.
"Whew. The virus has mutated. These monsters are getting more and more powerful. Liu Qianshou let out a long sigh of relief, and then teased.
"Bump." The car was suddenly struck.
"it." Liu Qianshou saw that person, who was following closely behind the car, and even smashed the back door of the car with his fist as soon as he got out. Liu Qianshou looked at the speed displayed on the speedometer. The pointer is pointing at 70. "Oh my God. It's not a monster, it's Superman. He can catch up at 70 kilometers per hour. Liu Qianshou scolded.
At this time, Wei Qing suddenly opened the window and took out a pistol. A shot was fired at the figure. The figure fell. "It's over." Ling Wu sat in the co-pilot and didn't see Wei Qing's movements, so he didn't have time to stop it.
Sure enough, after Wei Qing finished shooting. One roar after another was heard. Ling Wu suddenly felt that the entire city had issued a huge malice towards them. "Brother, I won't have to do it in the future. Never shoot. These things are very easy to be attracted by the sound of gunshots. Ling Wu said.
Wei Qing actually knew that something was wrong after the shot.
But it's useless to talk about it at this point.
Zombies then kept rushing out of both sides of the road and following the van. Liu Qianshou has already stepped on the accelerator to the end. Swing around the city in a variety of places, dodging the zombies rushing towards them.
But to no avail, there were more and more zombies chasing after them.
The nerves of the crowd tensed. However, after the van rushed onto a bridge, the zombies actually stopped and did not chase after them.
"What's the matter, why aren't these monsters chasing after you?" asked Avery first.
"I said foreign girl, you won't be happy if you don't chase these things. Do you want them to catch up and tear us apart? Liu Qianshou shouted.
"As soon as I got out, I saw the road sign, this road leads to Xijing." Wei Qing said lightly.
There was silence in the car.
"Well, why don't we turn around?" Liu Qianshou asked.
Ling Wu shook his head, Tongchuan City was already in chaos. It might be even more dangerous to go back. "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Let's go. It might be even worse to look back. ”
The little fool sitting at the back looked a little nervous at the moment, with worry in his eyes.
And somewhere in the center of ruins in Xijing, the center of a sea of zombies. A little girl looked up, as if sensing something. A cold glint flashed in his eyes.!
