CH.61 The Daily Life That Begins to Collapse 3

At night, the city is still in chaos. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The police have also blocked all bridges in and out of the city, allowing them to enter only after strict checks. The car lanes were completely blocked, the sidewalks that had been cut off were lined up with long queues, and the simple fences were filled with waddling zombies.

Hirano Toda stood guard on the terrace with a telescope, the civilian version of the telescope he had picked up in the store during the day, far worse than the military digital binoculars he had left at home, but it was better than nothing. The object of vigilance is not "zombies", but their own kind.

The situation in the city is now worse than the war, not only from the living dead, but also from the human beings themselves. Along the way during the day, they saw a lot of scum who attacked innocent people, gangsters, gangsters, and people with serious violent tendencies, and these people who were quite "forceful" in addition to picking up the zombies, they did not hesitate to include their own kind in the scope of the attack - anyway, just push everything to the zombies afterwards.

Japan itself is a strange excesses of gangster legalization, and now the evil consequences are finally going to be swallowed by themselves.

In the room behind Hirano Toda, Hironaga Ii and Takashi Komuro are sorting out the supplies they have collected during the day. No one knew how far the situation would go, so they passed by the store to collect high-calorie food, bottled drinking water, batteries and other emergency supplies.

Due to the blockade of the bridge and traffic jams, the group is still stranded on this side of the city.

The overnight stay is an upscale serviced apartment. You don't need to pay for the room yet, because the people here have either fled or become zombies. After cleaning up the zombies in the building and blocking the door from the inside, the group chose the only large penthouse with no zombies as a place to rest.

Although there were more than a dozen people, this "sky villa" arrangement consisting of the top two floors of the apartment plus half a floor of rooms on the top floor was more than enough. Naturally, the girls occupy the lower two floors, which are more comfortable. And the men were herded into the rooms on the top floor, and by the way, they were responsible for the vigil.

The news was on TV, but no one was in the mood to pay attention to it at this time. The girl's cry was faintly heard downstairs, which made the whole atmosphere even more gloomy.

Saya Takashiro shrank into the sofa hard, clasped his hands on his knees and tried to think of a way out.

The current situation of the whole team is very bad, although everyone here has combat power beyond ordinary people, but in the face of such a situation, all they can do is protect themselves.

And the biggest source of the problem is the worry about the family, especially after going to the home of a companion today to find his dead parents, the girl named Nanami Oda collapsed on the spot. After helping his parents free himself with the help of a friend, he is now basically in a state of losing his soul.

This incident directly put the team into a state of extreme unease, and the delay in crossing the river to find family members spread this anxiety to everyone.

After all, everyone has relatives.

Even the cold girl Sky Temple, whose parents have long since died, also has a dear aunt.

In this case, I am afraid that the only person who can keep calm and think is myself, who does not have to worry about my family.

Saya bit her finger and stared intently at the map on the table, with pins marking the locations of the homes of all the members of the team.

In the team, Saya is indeed the most reassuring one, especially after learning from Komuro Takako that his father is also a member of the Black Ball Room. Her parents themselves are very capable people, and with a group of capable retainers around her, and with the power bonus obtained by the Black Ball Room, safety must be worry-free.

So Saya is now focused on how to lead the current temporary team.

In this situation, the city will definitely not be able to continue to stay, everyone understands this, so everyone is running out of the city, but this undoubtedly makes the traffic in the already bad bed owner city almost paralyzed, plus it was the rush hour for work when the accident happened today, and now the road conditions are in a mess.

The bridge is blocked again, and if you keep waiting, you don't know when you will be able to cross the river. It seems that tomorrow we will have to go along the river to see if there are other bridges to cross, or find a place to cross the river.

What worries Saya even more is the future.

Although the basic order is still maintained, how long can such order be maintained in the light of the chaos during the day?

One day? Two days? Or three days?

The crisis has been spreading, and in just one day it has become so bad that the government functions need to be transferred, and it will continue to evolve – no, it has become a crisis for all of humanity.

Today, during the day, they saw the Self-Defense Forces helicopters flying by, and there are no SDF stations nearby, so they must have come from other places to carry out special tasks, such as taking over a nearby nuclear power plant.

If hydropower can be guaranteed, the social order will not collapse completely. There are still some people who understand this aspect, but does this mean that there is a danger that the nuclear power plant will need to be maintained by the Self-Defense Forces?

If it continues to develop, it is still unknown whether not only the city but also Japan will be able to continue to stay.

The best way, of course, is to find someone with a high proportion of armed forces and relatively independent. For example, Okinawa, where the Self-Defense Forces and U.S. forces are stationed, if the government responds properly, Hokkaido or Kyushu are also options. However, to get there, you need to take a plane or a ferry.

And it's too late to go to those places now, even if the zombies are temporarily suppressed in the area that is heavily guarded by the army, the containment measures must be very strict, and all parts of the world will become like this sooner or later. After all, contact with others means the possibility of zombie invasion.

There is no such thing as a safe place in the world.

No, maybe there's another way.

Black Ball Room.

If you're in it, you'll know something, after all, a month ago, the black ball was prompting today's arrival.

Unfortunately, none of them needed to enter the Black Ball Room today. The most anticipated rest day in the past has now become a pity, and I have to say that fate is impermanent.

Wait until tomorrow, be sure to ask for clarification!

While Saya was expecting to get the news from the Black Ball Room, Long Jing had just received first-hand information.

"To put it simply, this virus can only infect humans in this world. That's right. ”

"To be precise, it can only be effective for the people of this world." Erin corrected, "People from other worlds, including other creatures in this world, are not immune to infection, they just don't have any effect. She switched the screen to two juxtaposed genetic maps, "After discovering this feature, I compared the genetics of humans in this world with those of humans in other worlds, and this is what I finally discovered." ”

"The special genetic information hidden in the genes of the people of this world."

"Hmm......" Long Jing stared at the two pictures for a long time, but he didn't see a fart. Does this have anything to do with the fact that they will be infected by the virus and become zombies? ”

He didn't know anything about inheritance.

"Boss, they're not infected by the virus and turned into zombies." Erin took a deep breath, "You have also seen that it only takes more than ten seconds for a person to go from being bitten to becoming a zombie, which is not something that the virus itself can do." Here, the virus only plays the role of a catalyst, and it is not the virus that causes them to become zombies, but the genetic mutation caused by the virus! ”

"Does it make a difference?"

Long Jing blinked, isn't viral infection a genetic mutation?

"Generally speaking, a zombie infected by a virus is actually just a parasite of a virus, and the virus takes over the human nervous system by modifying the parasite. In this case, it is the virus that dominates the zombies, not the parasites themselves. And this world zombies are different, the role of the virus only causes their genetic mutations, but does not take over their bodies. In terms of type, the zombies here are closer to the zombies of my world, that is, genetic mutations caused by external causes. It's just that the external cause of mine is nuclear radiation, and here is the virus. At the end of the day, they became zombies because of their own genetic problems, and the virus was just the trigger. ”

"I seem to get it."

Long Jing nodded, the people in this world have become zombies not because of how terrifying the virus is, but because they have their own problems, and the virus is just the fuse.

"In other words, if you can't use this virus as a weapon?"

"Yes." Erin replied in the affirmative, "The only role of this virus is to activate the hidden genetic information of humans in this world. It has no effect on any other living being. ”

"So is there any cure for this?" Long Jing asked again.

"Perhaps, but it's too late." "When the virus enters the body, it directly activates the hidden genes. With our current capabilities, whatever we do is meaningless. Once you are invaded by a virus, it is too late to clear the virus. ”

"So neither the autohealer nor my divine purification are working?"

"Yes, problems at the genetic level can only be solved at the genetic level. Only through genetic adjustment can the extra genetic information be corrected or deleted, otherwise it will be hopeless once it is activated by the virus. ”

"That's really pitiful, people of this world."

The humanity of this world is hopeless.

Not a curse, not a prophecy.

If anything, it's the damn fate of all humans in this world.

From the moment this world was born, everything was already predestined.

In other words, it is for this purpose that the world was created.

In that case, let the people of this world embrace their fate.

And all he can do is take away some people who are willing to be loyal to him. This is also the last thing to reserve for the humans of this world.

Long Jing picked up his coffee and greeted the surveillance screen full of human tragedies as if he was seeing off the world.

"Boss, there's bad news. Soichiro Takashiro died. ”

"Poof!"
