Volume 1 Doomsday Escape Chapter 18 Meeting
Five people sat around a table in the visitor center and began their first small meeting.
"We've all just told us about what we've been doing since the disaster, and we're familiar with each other. Let's focus on a few important things. Xu Tianpeng volunteered to be the host of the meeting: "First of all, we have to determine where to go next? Do what? How to survive? Cheng Yong is a soldier in this regard, and he is good at it. Cheng Yong, let's talk about it first. ”
Cheng Yong sorted out his thoughts and said: "The five of us, except for Dr. Xu's family who is currently in Nanjing, the rest of the family's family members are all in other places, even if we want to go home now, I am afraid that we will be powerless." That being the case, I propose that you put your family's worries aside for a moment, and that our main goal at this stage is to build a new shelter. Do you agree? ”
Xu Tianpeng just wanted to say something, but Cheng Yong continued: "Of course, Dr. Xu is going to find his family soon, and his family was in the Jiangning Gymnasium shelter next to him before. I'll go with him. You can start by building a new shelter. ”
Xu Tianpeng nodded gratefully at Cheng Yong.
Yuan Hang, Yuan Jiajia, and Li Shanshan glanced at each other and said, "Then let's go together, and it's easy to take care of the crowd." Anyway, Brother Cheng, you have a gun. ”
"Thank you, I don't know how to thank you." Xu Tianpeng was very moved, after all, one more person, one more hope of success.
"As for the location and supply of the shelters, we'll come back to it. The food in this visitor center should be enough for us to eat and drink for a few days. Cheng Yong continued: "Let's discuss the precautions for facing zombies, let's talk about this by Dr. Xu, he is a doctor, and he has fought with zombies at close range." ”
Xu Tianpeng sorted out his thoughts and began to conclude: "I think zombies should be infected with some kind of virus, or other pathogenic microorganisms. This infection can be transmitted, and in addition to the bloodstream that we see after being bitten, I think it can also be transmitted through the respiratory tract or contact. ”
"Wait." Yuan Jiajia interrupted and asked, "If it is transmitted through the respiratory tract or contact, all of us should be infected, right?" ”
"I think a couple of us might be immune to that virus or whatever." Xu Tianpeng said; "But we can't take it lightly, and even if we can't be spread by air or contact, it doesn't mean we can't be spread by blood. In other words, we can still mutate when we are bitten. ”
Everyone nodded.
"Also, based on my observations, there are two kinds of zombies." Xu Tianpeng continued.
"Two kinds?" The crowd was amazed, this was the first time they had heard such a statement.
"Yes, both. One is converted by the dead, and the other is directly infected by the living. I've been exposed to both. Xu Tianpeng took a sip of water: "The former, the running speed is relatively slow, the posture is more weird, it should be related to the cessation of blood circulation after death, muscle stiffness and loss of vitality, their combat effectiveness is relatively weak, and they can be killed by destroying their central nervous system." And the latter, the running speed is very fast, even faster than normal people, they are relatively more dangerous, but they should rely on blood circulation, so they should be able to kill them by destroying the central nervous system or circulatory system, generally speaking, the former is weaker, but you need a headshot to die, the latter is more dangerous, but you can die by a headshot or breaking the heart. ”
Everyone gave a thumbs up to show that they were awesome.
"Also," Xu Tianpeng continued, "I found that the earliest zombies would eat each other, but the current zombies will not. It may be that the virus has evolved. If that's the case, it's too bad, there's no telling what else will evolve. If zombies don't attack each other, then they will have a more urgent need for other food, so they will be more aggressive. Of course, the good thing is that some of the weaker zombies may starve to death. ”
"There is another point, this is discovered by Cheng Yong." Xu Tianpeng added: "Zombies will have worse eyesight in bright places, which may be related to the fact that their pupils cannot shrink freely. But the recent zombies seem to be gradually making up for this shortcoming. Zombies were easy to trip over before, but it may not be so easy in the future. Thankfully, though, they shouldn't be able to think yet. When Xu Tianpeng said this, he suddenly shuddered, and he thought: If the zombies will think about it one day, it will really be the end of mankind.
I don't know if everyone suddenly thought of this, and they all fell silent all of a sudden.
After a long time, Cheng Yong said, "Since everyone wants to help Dr. Xu, let's discuss the plan." ”
The next day, two jeeps stopped on Ninglong Road next to the Jiangning Shelter, and five people got out of the cars with guns. Yesterday, the battle plan was discussed all morning, and in the afternoon, Cheng Yong conducted shooting training for them, and finally taught everyone how to load, how to aim, and how to alternately cover. According to his thoughts, the combat effectiveness of these people is not at all, but the time is pressing, and the longer it drags on, the smaller the chance of finding someone. The zombies that used to wander around the shelter have gradually spread around, and in a few days, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find both living people and corpses.
The Jiangning Shelter covers a large area, with the former Jiangning Stadium in the middle, surrounded by a vast green belt and parking lot. They were located on the west side of the shelter, with Pengshan Road across the road in front of them, and the green belt and gymnasium in front of them. Pengshan Road is just in the new residential area under construction, and there are fences made of color steel plates along the road, and it is precisely because of the existence of this fence that there are no zombies on this side.
They parked the car behind the fence, and Cheng Yong climbed on the roof of the car and took out his binoculars to observe the situation.
The door of the gymnasium in the distance is open, and there are zombies wandering from the door to Pengshan Road, and there are about 100 of them in the current field of vision, but this is only the situation on the west side of the gymnasium, and there must be more zombies in other directions, including the hall. Judging from the current situation, the possibility of a living person in the stadium is very small.
Cheng Yong sighed secretly and briefly described the situation to everyone.
Although Xu Tianpeng had expected this situation for a long time, he still felt disheartened all of a sudden.
Yuan Hang patted Xu Tianpeng's shoulder and comforted him: "Don't give up hope easily, they are waiting for you to save them." He gestured to Cheng Yong, and Cheng Yong hurriedly answered: "Yes, let's take action." ”
