Chapter 8: Shelter Talk
Seeing Zhang Haolin walking in with a gun on his back, someone immediately shouted: "Hey! A couple of Asians over there, did you also run away from Philadelphia, come and tell me about the situation there. ”
After exchanging glances with the other three, four men walked over and sat down on the ground beside them.
"Yes, we just drove from Philadelphia......" Zhai Jun was the first to speak: "I also killed a zombie hiding in the car at the checkpoint-" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly nervous, and then found that he had not been deducted points, it seems that the word zombie has now been allowed to be used by the Lord God.
"Zombies? That's a good word. A man who was obviously a local asked, "How is Philadelphia, I heard that African rabies has mutated again, and now people can be infected as soon as they are bitten, and there is no way to treat it?" ”
A bearded man next to him laughed at him: "Rabies can't be treated in the first place, and you still believe the words of those-eating media people, believing that it's just rabies?" ”
"What else is that?"
"Bioweapons, hey, boy, are you Chinese or Korean, or Japanese?"
Chen Tao glanced at the bearded man suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Don't be nervous, it doesn't matter what nationality you are, it has nothing to do with us." The bearded man smiled: "Tell me what you saw, looking at the nervous look on your face with a gun, you should have seen a lot of rabies patients in Philadelphia, right?" ”
"That's not rabies at all, it's a bit of a possibility, it's a biological weapon." Zhang Haolin nodded: "It's spreading too fast, it's not clear how everything happened, it's all over the street." ”

"Hey, guys watch TV!" I don't know who shouted, everyone looked up at the big TV hanging in the hotel, the live broadcast was the footage of New York City, the zombies attacked along a road, the citizens used their bare hands, hammers, iron pipes and other tools plus some firearms to meet them, and the owner of a sports equipment was sending the baseball bats in the store for free, and shouted to the people around: "Hit the head, blow the zombie's head!" ”
There is also a strange one like in a game called Zombie Siege, riding a motorcycle, with two chainsaws tied to both sides of the front of the car, trying to rush all the way over and sawing the zombies in two, but unfortunately the zombies are obviously not going to cooperate as in the game - the live news footage recorded the whole process: just rushed into the zombie group for a few dozen meters, and was stopped by the zombies, this poor boy was pounced on by the crazy zombies on both sides and drowned in the corpse group...... The screaming rang for several seconds before it stopped - it was scary, but at least there was good news: the boy was wearing a helmet, and he couldn't bite anyone even if he turned into a zombie.
At first, the human wall formed by the citizens was still effective in blocking the zombies, on the one hand, because of the strength of the people and the help of guns, and on the other hand, because the zombies were not united enough - some of the fast zombies rushed into the crowd first and were knocked to death and chopped up, while some zombies crouched on the ground and gnawed on the corpses.
But soon, the number and density of the zombies increased, and the citizens could not resist it - the zombies rushed forward completely desperately, and people would be afraid; Zombies must be shot in the head to die, and if they have their arms cut off, their legs broken, or even broken in two by a high-powered rifle, they can lie on the ground and continue to crawl up and bite people...... As for people, if they are bitten anywhere, they will become zombies and bite their teammates in turn...... The most troublesome thing is that the zombies don't simply attack along the main road, they burrow into the alleys, shops, and even upstairs on both sides, and then launch a surprise attack from the windows and doors.
The cameraman and the reporter were the first to run away, and then the citizens also broke down and began to run back desperately, and then the broadcast camera was cut off.

"Dry ...... This group of zombies is so fierce? ”
"Fortunately, I ran out, how can the small house at home stop it."
"Hell, ironically, these ghosts don't use their brains, but they have to destroy their brains to kill them completely; And our human brain is the most important organ, but if we are injured casually, we will die. ”
"yes, it's kind of unfair, but you've got to be glad they don't drive or use weapons."
"That's right," Chen Tao smiled: "Have you heard of such a theory, the brain is a parasite of the human body, and all the activities of the human body are to serve the brain, providing it with protection, nutrients, and even pleasure -- all the entertainment activities of the human body are for the brain to produce hormones that please itself -- this virus is actually a biochemical weapon directly aimed at the brain." ”
"According to your theory, it's a bunch of parasites that control the host sitting here and chatting with the host's mouth?" The white man who spoke first laughed, causing everyone around him to laugh. "It's like saying that humans are the cancer of the planet, which is very innovative and makes sense at first glance, but it doesn't make much sense."
"Yes, it's still the most important thing to discuss how to survive next, the National Guard has been ordered to protect the city and encircle the infected in Philadelphia, but I feel hanging."
Zhang Haolin didn't understand one thing, and finally asked at this moment: "Why is the same crisis breaking out all over the world?" Where is the source of this virus, and why can't it be controlled? ”
A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a suit, who looked like a high-class person, spoke: "God knows where the source is, and suddenly it all burst out." But some people tried to explain it - they found that the first place to happen was basically the hospital, and it was the patient who bit the person. Based on this, they came up with the idea that the virus had been latent about a year ago and spread to the world through the black market of organ trade in various countries, and now almost all the blood banks and organ transplant sources in hospitals around the world are contaminated with the virus...... In the past few months to a year, people who have received an organ transplant or a blood transfusion are time bombs. ”
"Then there are too many time bombs......"
"Yes, and these ticking time bombs, after surgery or blood transfusions, after 'recovery and discharge', kissing and sleeping with family or friends, may continue to spread the virus...... In addition, the speed at which this ghost thing is out of control in the human body is getting faster and faster, from a few months ago 'the bite wound is healed before the corpse changes', to the current 'as soon as it is bitten on the spot'. The speaker spread his hands to the listeners: "In a word, the world is coming to an end." ”
It turned out that this was the case, and the doubts when he watched the movie were explained somewhat, and Zhang Haolin finally understood why this crisis did not erupt from one point like Resident Evil, but blossomed everywhere and quickly evolved into a zombie world war.
