Chapter 256: Disintegration
Zheng Jieming and others continued to rush out of the hospital and carried out a concentrated and rapid cleanup of the zombies in the square outside the south gate. They didn't want to fight too much, after all, killing takes a lot of physical strength, and it was more important for them to check the safety inside the amusement park again, and the south gate was only briefly reinforced, and the defense needed to be further strengthened.
What's more, after this battle, everyone also realized that although the amusement park was enough, it lacked effective defense measures in the middle, so why not add some cover on the steps? Why don't you prepare a few more ladders?
Especially the ladder, several people rush to get up the ladder and squeeze each other, but what if there is one more ladder? One more ladder, maybe everyone can go up relatively calmly and safely!
"Okay, this piece has almost been cleaned up, hurry up and go back, go to the amusement park first, and then deal with it, and continue to seal the door." Zheng Jieming felt that the zombies outside should no longer pose a threat in the short term, so he decided to accept it as soon as he saw it, focusing on the more important things at the moment.
A group of people withdrew from the outside, and first hurried to continue to strengthen the south gate. After that, the unscared man went straight back to the body of the chimpanzee zombie.
"Geng Zhi, this thing just appeared out of nowhere, right?" Zheng Jieming asked.
"That's right."
Zheng Jieming stepped forward and touched the zombie's body with his hand, he pinched the zombie's arm, I don't know if it was because he had been dead for a while, or because of the corpse, the zombie's shoulders were unusually hard, like a stone.
"No wonder you can smash someone with one punch." Zheng Jieming thought to himself.
He held back his nausea and fear, walked to the front of the zombie, and examined the various gunshot wounds on its head, the zombie's facial bones seemed to be very hard, and even the bullets did not penetrate much, but there were two bullet holes on the top of the forehead, which showed that the zombie actually died under Xie Wuzi's gun.
Zheng Jieming looked back at Xie Wuzi and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Thanks to you, look at this posture, if you are not here, we can really be wiped out by this thing." β
Xie Wuzi was also speechless, feeling that such a victory was purely accidental.
"You say...... Is this thing still human? Geng Zhi stepped forward and observed the zombie's facial features, although this thing has ears, nose, eyes, and mouth, but the overall combination looks very weird, especially the protruding jaw, it looks more like an orangutan.
"Hope is not a mutation, and ...... I don't believe that people can become like this, I rather believe that the orangutans in the zoo have become like this. Zheng Jieming said.
"You say, its cheekbones are so hard, and this thing has such a big face, if you take this bone off, can it make a good shield?" Zhou Jitang stood next to him and didn't speak for a long time, when such a sentence suddenly popped up.
When Xie Wuzi heard him say this, the "little white" hidden in his personality suddenly felt a burst of nausea, and immediately let out a burst of retching.
"You're not serious, are you?" Xie Wuzi said, or rather, "Xiaobai" said.
"Really, there will always be a shootout with outsiders, this thing is dead anyway, and sooner or later it will have to be moved, and a few of us can't drag it in the first place, so we have to dismember it." Zhou Jitang said.
Zheng Jieming looked at Zhou Jitang in some surprise, and felt a little disgusted by his thoughts. But after thinking about it, he felt that what Zhou Jitang said was right, he stepped forward and pushed the zombie, and found that this thing was extremely heavy, and it did take a lot of effort to drag everyone out.
"Even if it's dismembered, don't go around here, this is still within the scope of the amusement park, and it may be better to drag it out of the open space next to the south gate." Zheng Jieming said.
"Aren't you!? It's also discussed!? Xie Wuzi finally couldn't help it this time, rushed to the flower bed next to him, and spit it out.
"You talk, I'll go first!" Xie Wuzi turned around and left, along with Luo Xue, Wang Xinrui, Hua Feng and others, who all said that they couldn't accept this incredible idea.
"You're going to have to build another campfire." Wang Xinrui said.
"Not bad, either." Zhou Jitang thought for a while and replied seriously, "It's just that the flesh of this thing must be too hard, and my teeth are already broken, so I definitely can't bite it." β
Wang Xinrui shook her head painfully and walked away with Hua Feng, who also couldn't accept this scene.
"What should I do if the knife can't cut it?" Zheng Jieming tried to cut several parts of the zombie's body with a knife, including the neck, armpits, elbow fossa, and abdomen, and found that it was difficult to get the knife.
"If you really can't let it go, the corpse will always melt away, and it will be much easier to deal with it at that time." Geng Zhi said, "Just move it to the edge of the south gate, which can be regarded as a warning and threat to outsiders." β
After discussion, it was decided to tie the thing with a rope, and then put two logs underneath it, and push and pull it away.
The movement was very difficult, and they felt that they were not dragging a zombie, but the bricks of the ancient Egyptian pyramids.
"I ...... Say...... I'm thinking about something......" Zhou Jitang pulled the rope hard, gritted his teeth in front and said.
"Save some energy to speak!" Zheng Jieming knew that once Zhou Jitang's conversation box was opened, what he said was often bloody.
"Can't help it...... If we all die, will the new highly intelligent creatures behind us ...... Find our architectural monuments...... I also think it's a wonder of the world?? Zhou Jitang said, and the rope strangled a mark on his shoulder, like a slender man on the vodka river in the bear country.
As soon as this idea is thrown out, everyone doesn't know how to answer, maybe, right? However, everyone's focus is not on Zhou Jitang's question sentence, but on this sentence "If we all die." β
"If you die, what do you care about so much?" Zheng Jieming was relieved, wiped his sweat, and the others also stopped.
"When you die, the body rejoins in the decomposition and reorganization, and the soul or something is either reincarnated or decomposed with the body, so the life of the next life may also be a form of human beings." Jin Hu said coldly.
"I'm going?" Zhou Jitang glanced at him in surprise, "I didn't think you were quite philosophical?" β
Jin Hu shook his head and didn't speak.
However, the next scene surprised him a lot.
In front of me, the corpse of the chimpanzee zombie that was transported halfway to the road seems to be undergoing some strange changes!!
The corpse's neck seemed to be wriggling.
"Hey!! Look at it, everybody! Look at its neck!! Jin Hu realized that there was a problem and hurriedly greeted the people who were slackening their consciousness.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Jieming said, walked over, but saw that the zombie's neck seemed to be rotting rapidly, and the flesh was twitching back and forth, as if it was still bubbling.
"Isn't it, it's not like in the movies it's a bunch of bugs?" Zhou Jitang said, "Isn't that too clichΓ©? β
Zheng Jieming and Geng Zhi glanced at Zhou Jitang seriously, as if they thought that what Zhou Jitang said might be right, and shouted at the same time.
"Run first! Run farther and talk about it! β
"That's a real deal!"
The five men who moved the zombies immediately dodged, and Zhou Jitang, Zheng Jieming, Geng Zhi, Jin Hu and Hang Ming all stood at a certain distance from the zombies.
However, immediately after, the zombie did not burst open, nor did more bugs or anything like that come out of it, but let out a faint "bang", as if the sound of water boiling.
After that, everyone saw that the zombie started from the neck, as if some strange chemical reaction had occurred, and then, the zombie's flesh quickly dissolved.
"Maybe it's a microbe, right? This...... Does this count as a bug? Hang Ming was disgusted and confused.
"Do ordinary zombies have such a fast dissolution rate?" Zheng Jieming asked, "Human corpses don't decay so quickly, right?" Same as corpse powder? β
"I haven't seen it, I think it's like a ...... How so? Did a tipping point erupt all of a sudden? Geng Zhi frowned and watched the zombie's body decay little by little, and a foul smell reached his nostrils.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm wondering, is there all kinds of microorganisms in this corpse itself, which are also working, but it suddenly reached a critical point just now?" Geng Zhi guessed wildly.
No one knows how to explain this phenomenon, but it seems that it can only be explained by microorganisms. After only about twenty minutes, the flesh and internal organs of this huge, stiff zombie were completely dissolved by microorganisms, and this process was obviously from the inside out, because when the skin of the zombie was dissolved, everyone could directly see the white bones in the zombie's stomach, not the internal organs.
All that was left on the ground was a pool of black-red blood.
"Lao Zhou, your mouth is the biggest weapon." Zheng Jieming said, "You said you wanted its bones before, na, now the bones are here." β
Zhou Jitang was not in much of a mood to complain at this time, he was also stunned by the scene in front of him, he felt as if everyone had inadvertently dialed a certain time knob, and then this hard and heavy rock-like zombie actually turned into a white bone in a short period of time.
"Let's take a look......" Zhou Jitang took two steps forward.
"Don't! What if it's really some special microorganism that infects us? Geng Zhi immediately stopped him.
"I don't care, do we have to guard against microbes against zombies!! If I'm unusual, I'll go to the door and caten myself! Zhou Jitang shouted loudly, and he walked straight forward.
"Lao Zhou, don't touch it directly with your hands!!" Zheng Jieming also rushed forward, wanting to hold Zhou Jitang, after all, the reason for the weathering of this zombie is unknown now, and it may not be wise to touch it hastily.
However, Zhou Jitang's hand had already touched the bone.
But in the next moment, the bone that was touched turned into a burst of ashes, as if it was not supposed to exist in this world.
