Everyone was startled by this slight cough, and on the simple operating table, the dark-skinned young man had already opened his eyes, Hu Xiaobao rushed forward in surprise, and blurted out: "Ah Luo, you are awake!" ”

"It's unbelievable" Joe was stunned and muttered, "He woke up so soon?" How is this possible? ”

Xie Tian smiled indifferently, he was already sure in his heart, this Ah Luo was undoubtedly an awakened person, otherwise, he would not have the kind of power described by Hu Xiaobao, let alone wake up in such a quick time after being attacked by zombies.

"Old Hu?" Ah Luo looked at Hu Xiaobao with an excited expression in front of him, and said weakly: "I'm not dreaming, right?" I'm alive? ”

"Of course alive!" Hu Xiaobao said excitedly: "I thought you couldn't be saved!" You kid is really a little strong who can't be beaten! ”

Eric couldn't speak Chinese, but he still stretched out his thumb and kept comparing to Arlo, and then, Arlo looked at the surrounding environment, as well as strangers such as Joe and Xie Tian, and asked, "Where is this?" In the end, all I remember was being chased by zombies, jumping into the river, and then swimming desperately, and I lost consciousness as I swam. ”

"We're in the safe zone!" Hu Xiaobao hurriedly pulled Xie Tianlai and said: "This is Xie Tian, Ah Luo, he is your savior, it was his people who found you by the river, we saw that you were too seriously injured by the zombies, thinking that you must have no hope, if he didn't insist on saving you, yes!" And these doctors and nurses, whose lives are saved. ”

Arlo looked at Xie Tian and said very gratefully, "Thank you for saving your life!" Saying that, and saying thank you to the others around him, although Joe is an American, he also knows some simple Chinese these days, and said to Arlo in unfamiliar Chinese: "You're welcome!" ”

Immediately, Joe said to Amy, "Amy, take his temperature!" ”

Xie Tian knew that Qiao was still worried that Ah Luo would be infected with the zombie virus, Xie Tian saw his secretly nervous look, smiled indifferently, and said, "Qiao, don't worry, he will not be infected with the zombie virus." ”

"Why?" Joe is a doctor, and his understanding of the virus is still limited to the academic level, thinking that although the current survivors can avoid being infected with the zombie virus in the air, once the zombie virus enters the bloodstream, there is no chance of any luck, but he doesn't know that the awakened are immune to the zombie virus.

Sure enough, after Amy took her temperature, she said to Joe with a surprised face, "Honey, his body temperature is 36.1 degrees Celsius. ”

Qiao counted with his fingers for a long time, and he was really wronged, Lao Mei has always used Fahrenheit, and this thermometer is made in China, only Celsius, so he can only convert it in his head.

"Is your temperature so low?" Figuring out Arlo's body temperature, Joe was even more incomprehensible.

But Arlo's actual situation is there, and Joe can't be confused, Arlo has been a blood transfusion for a long time, Joe and Amy checked his physical condition again, blood pressure began to rise, breathing and heartbeat also stabilized, although the body is still a little weak, but there is no danger to life.

Ah Luo fell asleep again, Hu Xiaobao finally breathed a sigh of relief, he said to Xie Tian: "Ah Luo is a very real rural child, before the end of the world in Shantou in a small factory, very sincere to people, along the way, no matter who needs help, Ah Luo as long as he can help, will do his best to help, our more than 100 people are very impressed with him, desperately sacrifice themselves to protect others at the critical moment, I think the vast majority of people do not have this courage." ”

Xie Tian nodded slightly, good people in the last days are too rare, this Ah Luo is really a rare good person, he can save others at the risk of being broken into thousands of pieces at a critical moment, such a person should also be trustworthy, if he can fully recover, he will be the same as Xie Xiaofei, he is an awakened person worthy of his trust.

Although the more awakened people the better, Xie Tian is also faintly worried that there will be awakened people who will not accept the restraint because of the sudden increase in strength, but because of their own differences, the awakening time is also very different, Xie Tian doesn't know if there are still awakened people with hidden strength in the safety zone, and I don't know how many people will gradually awaken in the future, this situation will take a lot of effort to control.

Xie Tian asked Joe and Amy to transfer the medical room to the next room, after all, this room has been contaminated with the zombie virus, if someone accidentally infected with the virus, it would be bad, and this room was left for Ah Luo to rest, Hu Xiaobao spontaneously wanted to stay and take care of An Luo, Xie Tian told him to pay attention when he came into contact with Ah Luo, and then, let the others temporarily disperse back to rest.

Qiao stopped Xie Tian and pulled Xie Tian out of the general control building, there was no one around, and Qiao asked, "Xie Tian, is the patient you sent different from ordinary people?" ”

"Hmm." Xie Tian saw that Qiao had found the clue, so he said: "He is indeed different from ordinary people. ”

Joe nodded and said, "The wound was injured by the zombie to that extent, and it is impossible not to be infected with the zombie virus, unless he has antibodies to the zombie virus." ”

Xie Tian no longer concealed it, and said, "Joe, in your academic understanding, under what circumstances does a virus mutate?" ”

Qiao said: "Any virus will mutate, as far as the ordinary influenza virus is concerned, the mutations have antigen surname mutations, temperature-sensitive surname mutations, host range, and mutations in terms of sensitive surnames to non-specific surname inhibitors, but the most important thing is antigen surname mutation, and there are many reasons for virus mutation, different organisms, different genes, and abnormal ecological environments are possible, for example, if the drug is used too much, the virus will produce a drug-resistant surname, and once the virus mutates, the surname will change greatly." ”

Xie Tian smiled and said: "Now the zombie virus has also mutated, although I don't know how to identify the zombie virus in medicine, but in my opinion, the zombie virus is a kind of strengthening agent that strengthens the body, and anyone infected with the zombie virus will be strengthened, but the zombie virus strengthens them at the same time, destroys their brains, making them zombies, we can make a bold assumption, strengthening is the main effect of the zombie virus, and destroying the brain is a side effect, will anyone because of the special system, What about avoiding this side effect? ”

Qiao was stunned for a long time after listening to Xie Tian's description, his expression was dull, and after a while, he suddenly said excitedly: "Thank God, you mean, that person happened to avoid the side effects of the zombie virus?" ”

"Yes." Xie Tian nodded and continued: "For him, the zombie virus only leaves the main effect of strengthening, so his body can be strengthened like a zombie, but it happens to preserve his brain and thinking. After that, he said, "This is just a speculation on my part, the United States has found more than a hundred people like Arlo, and they have named such people the Awakened." ”

Qiao pondered for a long time and blurted out: "It's amazing, this virus is really an incredible thing, if human beings can take the initiative to curb its side effects like making a vaccine, and only let it play its main effect, then this kind of thing can make everyone on the earth be strengthened!" ”

Xie Tian shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Although what you said is right, it is too difficult to achieve, and the current awakened people are all coincidental, on the other hand, most of those who are not so lucky have become zombies." ”

Joe sighed and laughed self-deprecatingly, "I wish I had studied biology and genetics. ”

Xie Tian was thinking in his heart, where did this zombie virus come from? Although it is extremely terrifying, but it is very magical, is it really like in the movie, developed by scientists? If that's the case, those scientists who invented the zombie virus are not too many to shoot twenty times, and they put up a super big oolong

After chatting with Qiao, Xie Tian returned to the cafeteria alone, the gang was still waiting for themselves to arrange, it was already midnight, it was time to let these people have a good rest, but when Xie Tian entered the cafeteria, he found that it was already foggy, almost all the male surnames and a small number of female surnames were spitting smoke with cigarettes in their mouths, Xie Xiaofei took more than ten high-end cigarettes for these people, the smokers in the last days are too easy to satisfy, these cigarettes can make them smile after the catastrophe.

Xie Tian walked to the front of the cafeteria and said to everyone: "You are all exhausted tonight, and now that Arlo's injury has stabilized, you don't have to worry, let's go to the dormitory building to rest, there are still some empty rooms on the third floor, and there are four floors, you can choose freely, find a few roommates who are suitable, bring your own luggage and materials, and start a new life in the safe zone quickly." ”

These people have experienced so much along the way, everyone is eager to have a good rest, thank Tian let people take them to the dormitory building, and let them do the rest as they please, Du Yuewei's more than fifty people also went back to their dormitories to rest, the hall was empty all of a sudden, Xie Tian sat on the dining chair and sighed, although he was a little tired, but he was very excited, with the addition of these people, his confidence in the safety zone was stronger.

The only son smoked a cigarette, Xie Tian turned off the light in the canteen hall, walked out of the door, and as soon as he went out, he saw Du Yuewei standing at the door, Du Yuewei saw Xie Tian coming out, stepped forward and stood in front of Xie Tian, hesitated for a moment, or said, "Thank you today." ”

"It's fine." Xie Tian smiled and said casually: "Remember not to be reckless in the future, don't make two mistakes, the taekwondo you learned is barely enough to deal with the little hooligans, and it is a little self-sufficient to use it to deal with the evolved zombies." ”

"You" Du Yuewei's surname is so strong, today Xie Tian saved her life and led the e2 away from her, so she was ready to say thank you, but she didn't want to thank Xie Tian for being sarcastic, which made Du Yuewei a little annoyed.

"I'm for your good." Xie Tian said lightly, and then said, "It's okay, right?" It's okay to rest early. ”

"Something." Du Yuewei stopped in front of Xie Tian, looked at Xie Tian unconvinced, and said: "You look down on me, then let's compete to see who is stronger." ”

"Forget it." Xie Tian waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to compare, you are better than me." After that, Xie Tian bypassed Du Yuewei and walked towards the general control building, Du Yuewei gritted her teeth angrily behind her but was helpless, she could only watch Xie Tian go farther and farther away with hatred.
