Chapter 41, Wang Qiu's Lecture on Zombie Knowledge (I)

“…… As we all know, a long, long time ago, there were no zombies in this world. Until there was a company in the United States called Ambrera that opened the T virus in the underground room of Raccoon City...... That's it! Doraemon and I forcibly broke into the booty of the hive room"

Standing on the podium in front of the blackboard, Wang Qiu waved a laser pointer and talked eloquently, and then raised his hand to take out a large test tube engraved with the umbrella logo of Ambrera from his personal space, as well as the T-virus concentrate with a glittering blue light in the test tube, and displayed them in front of everyone.

And the twenty-three high school students below also stared at the T virus in his hand with blazing eyes, with complicated and confused eyes.

If it is in a normal classroom, these young people in the flower season will always can't help but talk to each other, whispering, and sometimes the noise can be heard even outside the classroom. Even if the teacher kept knocking on the table with a whip: "Be quiet, be quiet......" would have little effect.

However, on this night, everyone was quiet, making this activity room show an unusual and strict atmosphere.

In addition, the parents of students such as Soichiro Takashiro, Yuriko Takashiro, Masashi Miyamoto, and Takariko Miyamoto, as well as several middle and senior cadres of the "Worrying about the Country", also sat on the folding chairs in the back row, their expressions were as strict and solemn as these high school students, and they looked a little sad. Many held ballpoint pens and pillows on their knees, while others held voice recorders and wanted to record every detail of the lecture.

“…… Of course, this qiē was born in another parallel world, and in your world, from the information I've gathered, it doesn't seem that there is another Ambrera company, and there is no other raccoon market...... Still, as you know, I saw almost the same zombies here, and found the T-virus in them - albeit a weakened version, but even more dangerous! ”

Speaking of this, Wang Qiu put away the T virus test tube in his hand, "...... Okay, let's get down to business, but at the beginning of this lesson, we're going to start with a few key questions – what is a zombie? How were they born? Where are their weaknesses and strengths? Why are they hostile to humans? In conclusion, before exploring any strategy for dealing with a crisis, you must first figure out what the enemy is threatening your survival!

Since two days ago, zombies, ghouls, zombies, dead bodies, living dead - whatever they are called, these suddenly appearing, roaming walking dead have become the greatest threat to all of humanity - second only to humanity itself! They are not a predator that preys on humans, but a plague for which humans are their host. The lucky victims were devoured by the monsters, their bones gnawed clean, and their flesh and blood lost. And those who were not lucky enough to be sacrificed, after death joined the ranks of the attackers, transformed into terrible man-eating monsters......

From a physiological point of view, zombies are actually hosts of the T virus. This terrible virus spreads mainly through the bloodstream, through a currently unknown pathway, from where it first invaded the body, and finally reached the brain, where the body's immune system is powerless. After this period, the entire body ceases to function, and the brain is gradually transformed into a new organ by the T-virus. The most striking feature of this new organ is that it is no longer dependent on oxygen for life activities...... When the whole mutation process is over, and every cell of the human body is filled with the T virus, the infected person is no longer a human, but a new organism - a zombie!

Please note that you don't think of a zombie as a real corpse, in fact, it is still 'alive', and most of the cells are still operating under the host of the T-virus. The reason why we often see that the skin on their body surface seems to be rotting and smelly, is actually the waste that the body automatically sheds after the high metabolism under the action of the virus - just like ordinary people will become sour and smelly if they do not take a bath for a long time.

So, how long is the average 'life cycle' of a zombie - the limit of time it can pose a threat to living people before it completely disintegrates? This answer may come as a surprise to everyone: according to the actual Yàn that Doraemon and I made with [Time Baggage Skin], the time it takes for a zombie to be born to completely decay is estimated to be 3 to 5 years! (High school students and parents are in an uproar.) ）

Be quiet! Please be quiet! It does sound strange that a human corpse can escape the decomposition of nature? But in fact, this is still due to the basic biological principle - under normal circumstances, once a human dies, his ** will be immediately attacked by thousands of microorganisms. While humans are alive, the immune system can resist their aggression, but after death, this barrier disappears. These greedy microorganisms will multiply frantically while eating on the corpse, and any discoloration, puffiness and stench of the corpse during the decomposition process are the by-products of these microorganisms as they decompose the corpse. In the end, only bones, teeth, nails and hair are left – this is the life cycle of ordinary living beings, and it is also the basic means by which nature recycles nutrients back into the food chain.

Of course, if you want to stop this process of decomposition, you only need to create an environment that is not suitable for bacteria to live in - for example, put frozen meat in the refrigerator and soak the specimen in formalin solution...... Or let the corpse be infected with the T-virus before it dies!

-- Almost all microorganisms involved in the decomposition of corpses will instinctively avoid virus-infected cells, thus effectively embalming zombies. If that weren't the case, all you had to do was find a safe place to hide for two or three weeks, and all the zombies would have collapsed to the ground, leaving nothing but bones and carrion - sadly, things weren't that easy, and you still had to fight for survival!

As a blessing in disguise, the T virus does not spread through water or air, and the only way to transmit it is through direct contact with bodily fluids. In addition, the T virus is not transmitted by blood-sucking insects such as mosquitoes and fleas, because each parasite will keep itself away from zombies...... But that doesn't mean you should take it lightly - in fact, all water and food contaminated with zombie flesh is highly toxic and difficult to disinfect even when heated at high temperatures. If he is eaten by some unfortunate guy, then although he will not become a zombie, he will be poisoned to death!

If it is the T virus native to Ambrera, then it can not only infect humans, but also dogs, cats, mice and other mammals, thus creating a series of agile small killers such as zombie dogs and zombie rats, and there may be zombie whales in the sea, so that survivors are unable to prevent it. But the zombie virus that broke out on your side is a weakened version of the T-virus, which does not have such a wide killing range, and the only target is only humans, but it ignores all other qiē animals - even monkeys and orangutans, which are genetically closest to humans.

So, in a sense, you're lucky, at least you don't have to deal with all sorts of more imaginative mutated animals - mutated tigers and lions aren't too scary, and there aren't many of them left in the world anyway. But rats are several times more numerous, if you're surrounded by a bunch of zombie rats in a cave or subway station...... Well, let yourself imagine the rest!

Okay, after talking about what a zombie is, let's talk about the weaknesses and strengths of zombies - the only Achilles heel of zombies is very clear, that is, its brain, unless we can blow its head, we can't completely eliminate their mobility.

In addition, the zombies on your side have no sight, smell, or intelligence, and rely entirely on their sense of hearing to complete their 'predation' actions, and they do not have any divine human abilities - after all, the body of a zombie is also a human body in nature, the only difference is that the body is in control. Since humans can't fly, then zombies naturally don't think about it.

But on the other hand, some zombies can indeed exert stronger strength, because they can completely ignore the damage of tendons and the breaking of bones, and forcibly make some unbelievable movements, so as to break through the limits of mortals - such as twisting their heads one hundred and eighty degrees, breaking their necks first and then biting the living people behind them, etc., Jing Haoyong, who was bitten by zombies in the Fuji Art Garden before, must have a deep understanding of this! Hehe, in short, please be careful not to fight zombies empty-handed, even if you are a boxing champion or karate champion!

Next, many people may be puzzled, why can't the military of a modern country have so many advanced weapons, but it can't deal with the irrational zombies, and the whole society collapses in just a few days? Indeed, after all, zombies are only human beings who have been infected with the T virus, and it is impossible to surpass humans in terms of physical fitness, and the combat effectiveness of a single zombie is likely to be inferior to that of natural carnivorous beasts such as polar bears and African lions.

But the problem is that the lethality of zombies is never reflected in its individual combat effectiveness. The places where the first zombie virus broke out were usually not empty and barren no-man's land, but those big cities with a population of more than one million!

As we all know, there is no country in the world that can muster enough troops to lock down all their big cities, but it is very easy to spread the zombie-making T-virus. Suppose a zombie suddenly appears in a city, the zombie attacks an average of six people per hour, and the victim transforms into a zombie every ten minutes on average. Then in an hour, dozens of zombies will be roaming the streets. Twenty-four hours later, if no one did anything about it, the city was almost finished......

As for the army? The firepower advantage possessed by modern armies is indeed enough for them to easily kill hundreds or thousands of zombies. But the problem is that most countries' military bases are not located in densely populated and prosperous urban areas. Judging from the distance between most military bases and urban areas, by the time the military shows an abnormality, receives an order, and rushes to the city, thousands of people will already be infected and transformed into zombies. In particular, the efficiency of the attendance of the Self-Defense Forces on the 6th of your country...... I think you should know better than me, a Chinese! ”

“…… Yes! 6. The Self-Defense Forces are basically a group of bureaucrats and civil servants, and it is better not to rely too much on their responsiveness. ”

Soichiro Takashiro nodded sadly, "...... Although the Self-Defense Forces have the best equipment, the soldiers' suzhì is really desperate...... What's more, even the station of the Self-Defense Forces themselves is probably the first target of the zombie virus! It's not easy for them to manage themselves! ”

“…… That's right! What's worse is that in peacetime, in order to prevent military riots and mutinies, each ** team usually pursues a policy of separating guns and bullets, so it is difficult to say whether most soldiers have bullets in their hands when they encounter a zombie crisis! Wang Qiu continued to take over, "...... And the military camp is an extremely densely populated place, and it is likely that before they can knock over the zombies and pry open the ammunition depot, the entire camp will have already fallen! ”
