Chapter 909: Escape from the Radiation Zone
"No, there are other diseases that can cause people to have such strange symptoms." The curtain at the bedroom door was lifted, and it was Zhong Lao who walked in. He showed no signs of infection, his body was like a green pine, and his voice was loud.
Gu Wei saw Zhong Lao enter the door and said happily: "Uncle Zhong, have the parts of that diesel generator been repaired?" ”
Academician Zhong shook his head: "Your mother and I are both studying medicine, how can we fix this, I have been tinkering for so many days, I thought it would be repaired in a few days, but just now I suddenly found that a chip was completely broken, and it couldn't be repaired at all." However, I did guess what kind of illness everyone had. ”
"Old Zhong, what kind of disease are we born in, is there a way to cure it?" Several experts lying on the pit came to the spirit, with Zhong Lao's medical skills, as long as the source of the disease is found, there are few that cannot be cured.
Academician Zhong said: "Wait a minute, I still need to do an investigation to confirm." He turned around and asked Gu Wei: "Xiao Gu, you said that there is a hospital near here, take me to find something." ”
Although Gu Wei was surprised, she agreed, she called Ling Shanshan and Captain Sun, and wanted them to escort her, but Zhong Lao refused, he said: "If my guess is correct, I have not only found the reason for everyone's illness, but also know why there are no zombies and smart corpses in this area, Ling Shanshan, Captain Sun, you two immediately go to make a sail, which can be used on the small boat we are looking for." ”
Gu Wei exclaimed beside him: "With sails? Uncle Zhong, although the ship is not very big, and it may be able to drift with the sail, none of us here can sail the sailboat, if it is to the sea. You're going to get lost! Why don't we wait until the engine parts are repaired? Or, let's go to the shipyard and find out if there are any suitable parts? ”
At this time, Xia Zhen next to him interjected: "Gu Wei, listen to your Uncle Zhong's words, Captain Sun, Ling Shanshan, go, I will go with you to collect the materials of the wind sail." ”
Gu Wei was stunned, her mother actually left the sick experts and went to do some sails. This...... Academician Zhong and Xia Zhen looked at each other. The two nodded slightly, and it seemed that they had guessed the cause of the expert's illness.
Half an hour later, Gu Wei took Academician Zhong to the small hospital. Academician Zhong did not ramble in the hospital. Instead, he ran directly in the direction of the radiology department - Academician Zhong didn't know Bang Ziwen. However, the internationally accepted radiation markers are clear at a glance.
Academician Zhong rummaged in the operation room of the radiology department for a while, and found a mobile phone-sized instrument - a Geiger counter, which Gu Wei recognized. It is used by the radiology department of the hospital to check for nuclear leakage. As soon as Academician Zhong turned on the instrument, the Geiger calculator chirped frantically, and without looking at the numbers on the instrument, Gu Wei was startled: "Not good!" The radiation source of the radiology department of this hospital has leaked! ”
Academician Zhong shook his head: "No, it's not a radiology leak. Xiao Gu, you come with me, and soon you will be able to see the truth about what is happening in this land. ”
Academician Zhong held the Geiger counter in his hand, and Gu Wei hurriedly ran out of the hospital, along the way, the instrument chirped wildly, there was no sign of weakening, Gu Wei's face became worse and worse, when she and Academician Zhong left the hospital and returned to the residential area where they lived, standing on an empty street, listening to the almost non-stop chirping of the Geiger counter, Gu Wei finally suddenly realized, and at the same time creepy: "God! This land is completely contaminated with nuclear weapons! What's going on here? Will a nuclear bomb explode? No! Impossible, there are no nuclear weapons in the south stick! ”
Academician Zhong looked at the opposite side of the sea: "It's not a nuclear weapon, it's a nuclear power plant leak, an unprecedented leak from a super-large-scale nuclear power plant in human history." ”
Two hours later, Ling Shanshan and Captain Sun lifted the last sick expert onto a small boat on the dock, and hung an ugly sail on the mast, Captain Sun untied the cable, and under the action of the north wind and waves, the boat slowly left the dock and drifted towards the depths of the sea.
The expert who had diarrhea and hair loss smiled bitterly: "It turns out that this is radiation sickness, alas, we should have thought of it a long time ago, continuous low-grade fever, bleeding teeth, diarrhea, and hair loss...... How long have we been in the radiation zone? At least, I ate irradiated water and food for a week. ”
Xia Zhen looked at the other side of the sea: "I'm sorry, this escape route was chosen by me, but I didn't calculate it, the large-scale leakage of the nuclear power plant in the foot basin country brought everyone to a dead end." Those zombies and corpses on the peninsula took the initiative to evacuate this area because they felt the danger of nuclear contamination, but I was good, but I took you to the net. ”
The expert with diarrhea coughed and said, "How can you blame this, if we hadn't broken through from the peninsula, we would have fallen into the hands of muscle monsters a long time ago." ”
Academician Zhong comforted several old colleagues and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as we get out of the contaminated area in time and find some medicines, radiation sickness can still be treated." We have to believe in science. ”
The diarrheal expert sighed: "Believe in science - yes, we old guys have been in medicine for most of our lives, and we have always believed in science and thought that scientific progress can solve any problem, but the emergence of biochemical viruses has completely subverted this belief of mine." Not to mention anything else, Lao Zhong, you are not affected by radiation in the slightest, which means that the science we have mastered can no longer keep up with the changes in this world. ”
Academician Zhong and Xia Zhen glanced at each other, the two of them had stayed in the radiation area for so long, and there was nothing unusual, and the answer was obvious - the two of them were actually smart corpses for a long time, and the change was from when Gu Wei injected the body fluid samples of Yashan Wang Lu into the bodies of the two of them.
Xia Zhen comforted: "If we can get to Yashan in time and find the body fluids of that strange person named Wang Lu, we will definitely be able to save everyone." ”
The expert with diarrhea muttered: "Wang Lu, Wang Lu, what kind of person is he, why does he have such an incredible ability?" Old Zhong, you must find him, maybe the hope of the vaccine is in him. ”
Captain Sun and Ling Shanshan controlled the sails and tried to keep the ship away from the direction of the footbasin country and out of the nuclear contamination zone. They know that although there is no abnormality in their bodies at present, nuclear radiation is obviously harmful to zombie corpses, as evidenced by the initiative of the zombie corpses of Nanbangzi. The tumor-covered corpse of the foot basin country that I just met is an example.
Whether it is Captain Sun or Ling Shanshan, although they have calmly accepted the fact that they are intelligent corpses, if they become tumor monsters because of nuclear radiation, then they should be spared.
The sails are difficult to control, but there is a current from the peninsula to the mainland, and the boat drifts farther and farther in the Yellow Sea, listening to the chirping of the Geiger counter found by Academician Zhong getting lower and lower, and the continuous buzzing has also turned into an intermittent ticking sound, everyone knows that it is getting farther and farther away from the nuclear radiation zone. That's when I settled down. Although the ship was also contaminated with a certain amount of nuclear contamination. It's much better than on land, and Captain Sun is constantly fetching water to wash the deck, clean the cabins, and the radiation on the ship. Finally came down to a safe point.
After nightfall. Specialists because of illness. After another toss, after a while, he fell asleep.
Gu Wei quietly found Xia Zhen. He said in a low voice: "Mom, because the drinking water and food on the shore are all contaminated, so I didn't bring any food on the boat, we have to hurry ashore, otherwise, those old people won't last long." ”
Xia Zhen's face was hidden in the night: "No, the coast in this area must be under the control of the ghouls and muscle monsters, and we will soon fall into their hands if we go ashore, and we must use the ocean current to go south." When it comes to food, let's catch some fresh fish and eat sashimi for the time being. ”
Gu Wei knew that there was no way to do it, she was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Mom, what am I?" ”
Xia Zhen didn't make a sound, as if he didn't hear his daughter's whisper.
Gu Wei seemed to be talking to himself: "Mom, obviously, you and Uncle Zhong have both mutated, and both of you have become smart corpses, so, like Captain Sun and Ling Shanshan, you are not afraid of nuclear radiation." But what about me, why didn't I get sick like the experts? It must have been the reason why the king of the cliffs had stuck the needle in my temple - his bodily fluids went straight into my brain tissue. However, I didn't think that I would mutate into a smart corpse, I would cry and laugh, I would be angry and happy, none of these would look like a smart corpse. Mom, what kind of monster have I become? Will I continue to mutate? ”
In the dark, Xia Zhen raised her hand and touched her daughter's hair--she couldn't feel the softness of her daughter's hair--"Child, don't be afraid, no matter what you become, you are my daughter." ”
After a long night, the sky was bright, because the engine could not be started, not even the generator could be operated, the ship's radar and navigator could not be used, and everyone did not know where the ship was located.
When Captain Sun was a special forces, he learned the skill of using the stars to identify directions, and he speculated that the ship was still within the Yellow Sea after a night of drifting, "The wind is too weak to speed up the ship, if only the engine could be repaired." ”
An unknown marine fish jumped out of the nearby sea and fell back into the sea. After the global infection of biochemical viruses, human industrial activities have stopped for two whole years, and the sea water in the coastal waters has become cleaner and cleaner under the effect of self-purification.
Gu Wei tried to cast a net with a fishing net on the boat, and actually caught a few sea fish, which were mackerel and yellow croaker, and turned them into sashimi with a knife, and sent them to several sick experts -- the Geiger counter showed that the radiation value of these sea fish was within the normal range.
According to Academician Zhong's analysis, the nuclear leakage in the country should be divided into a variety of situations, such as an explosion like Chernobyl, or a melt reactor, and the nuclear material spreads to other regions with the direction of the wind, including the Bangzi Peninsula.
Academician Zhong introduced to Gu Wei: "In fact, in this nuclear disaster in the footbasin country, the pollution of seawater by nuclear power plants should be rare, and the large-scale pollution of seawater by the Fukushima nuclear power plant is actually completely man-made, because the power plants in the footbasin country desperately poured seawater into the reactor in order to cool the reactor that has gone out of control, and then it is impossible to safely store and dispose of the irradiated seawater on the ground, so it is simply secretly put in the ocean." This trick is very vicious, because according to the ocean current, the nuclear wastewater is floating to the coast of Bald Eagle and can be regarded as revenge for the two nuclear bombs in World War II. After the outbreak of the biochemical virus, the nuclear power plant in the foot basin country was completely out of control at the first time, either exploding or melting reactors, except for some nuclear pollutants drifting up to the peninsula with the direction of the wind, the vast majority of nuclear materials were left on the island, and the pollution of seawater was less. ”
Gu Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This is really a fart in the nest - self-inflicted, I was originally worried that the nuclear wastewater of the footbasin country would pollute the entire ocean." ”
Academician Zhong said: "It is certain that the ocean is polluted by nuclear waste, but judging from these few fish. At present, it is still under control. Alas, the country of the foot basin is finished, and it is estimated that it is difficult for even zombies to survive with such serious pollution. ”
Commander Xia Zhen suddenly said beside him: "If I am the wise corpse of the Foot Basin Country, I will definitely migrate to the surrounding areas, and the Kangaroo Country is a good choice." ”
At this time, Ling Shanshan and Captain Sun, who were controlling the sails, warned loudly: "Boat, there are ships on the sea ahead. ”
Sure enough, there was a ship, and Xia Zhen climbed to the top of the mast and looked into the distance. Sure enough, I saw the mast at sea level. Soon, however, another mast appeared, and another ...... That's not a boat. But. A flotilla! Huge fleet.
"Dismount! Stop the boat! Xia Zhen ordered. No one knows where this huge fleet came from. And for what purpose, however, to their own group of people this small boat. It is simply impossible to resist such a large fleet, so it is simply waiting to see what happens.
Commander Zhong asked Xia Zhen, "Which side do you think this fleet will be?" ”
Xia Zhen said: "Judging from the direction, it should be from the continent of the flower planter, but strange, whether it is a human, a supernatural or a zombie intelligent corpse, why do they want to march to the foot basin country?" Even if they didn't know that the entire territory of the Foot Basin Country was contaminated by nuclear weapons, there were no resources there that were worth their expedition. ”
Academician Zhong nodded and shook his head: "It's very incomprehensible, in this last days, it is not easy to mobilize such a huge fleet, and the forces behind the scenes. ”
On the sea level, the figure of the fleet is becoming clearer and clearer, and everyone can already see that it is a mixed team of various ships, including container ships, private yachts, and fishing boats.
However, as the flotilla got closer and closer, both sides could already see the broadside numbers of each other's ships, but the flotilla did not attack the small boat of the homeland, and the flotilla only slowly passed by the small boat.
"It's zombies and smart corpses. Foot basin country. Gu Wei stared at a fishing boat road that almost passed by his own boat. The bow of the fishing boat was painted with "Takasu Maru", and the deck was full of zombies and smart corpses.
Gu Wei's eyes suddenly froze, and he came to Captain Sun's side and said, "Old Sun, look at that smart corpse - it's a tumor monster!" In fact, Captain Sun and Ling Shanshan both saw it, and sure enough, it was the tumor monster Zhi corpse that the three of them had killed together not long ago, and it was a "specialty" of the Foot Basin Country.
Academician Zhong said beside him: "These strange intelligent corpses should be xenomorphic intelligent corpses that have been mutated by nuclear contamination. ”
Xia Zhen suddenly asked, "Why didn't they attack us?" ”
Indeed, the large and small ships of the foot basin country passed by the small wooden boat that lost power in their homeland, but they did not launch any attack, and the zombies and smart corpses on the ship, looking at Gu Wei and the others on the small wooden boat, did not react.
Ling Shanshan turned to Captain Sun and said, "Let's go grab a boat." ”
Gu Wei suddenly heard this sentence next to him, and he almost couldn't catch his breath, and was coughing with a red face and a thick neck, but he didn't expect Captain Sun to say, "Okay." ”
I saw Ling Shanshan suddenly lift the iron anchor on the small wooden boat, and as soon as she raised her hand, she threw it at a footbasin country fishing boat that was slowly passing by, and the iron anchor smashed into the deck of the opposite fishing boat with an iron chain, knocking down several footbasin country zombies, and then rattled and stuck on the stern railing.
Ling Shanshan and Captain Sun carried their guns on their backs, climbed the anchor chain that was stretched straight between the two boats, and climbed towards the fishing boat of the foot basin country.
Gu Wei didn't get out of his breath until this time, and took the sniper rifle from the cabin with a roar: "Are they crazy?" The wise corpses of the Footbasin Nation will tear them to shreds! ”
Xia Zhen shook his head beside him: "It's okay, I sensed the brain waves of the zombie corpses of the foot basin country on the fishing boat - it's really strange, their brain waves are peaceful and have no killing intent." ”
In Gu Wei's big round eyes, Ling Shanshan and Captain Sun really climbed onto the fishing boat of the foot basin country without any hindrance, and the two of them were not attacked by the other party's zombie corpse from beginning to end. After jumping onto the fishing boat, Ling Shanshan and Captain Sun rushed through the group of zombie corpses of the Foot Basin Country who were standing stupidly like wood and rushed towards the cockpit. After a few moments, the boat slowly slowed down and finally came to a complete stop.
Gu Wei rubbed his eyes desperately, although he couldn't believe it, he still cheered - it was so easy to capture a ship with good power! Now, you can reach Yashan smoothly!
The fishing boat turned around, broke away from the footbasin country fleet that continued to move forward, and leaned to the small wooden boat in the homeland, Captain Sun got out of the cockpit and jumped back to the small wooden boat: "Everything is safe, the intelligent corpse driving the car is controlled by us - in fact, he doesn't resist at all, he just hopes that we don't kill them, let them go, and even let them jump into the sea." ”
Gu Wei said puzzledly: "Hell, when did the zombie corpse of the foot basin country become so peaceful and friendly." ”
Captain Sun said: "Ling Shanshan is interrogating the intelligent corpse that drove the boat in the cockpit, I just tried to investigate the zombies in the footbasin country, and found that their brain waves are in a very peaceful state, I need to take some time to look through their memories." ”
Gu Wei's mouth opened into an "O" shape, and she said puzzledly: "Old Sun, we just slaughtered a smart corpse of the Foot Basin Country on the dock not long ago, you and Ling Shanshan both said that the brain waves of the Foot Basin Country's brain waves are different from yours, and you can't use brain waves to affect the brain waves of the Foot Basin Country's Zhi Corpse - how can you check their memories now?" (To be continued......)
