Chapter 23 High-Rise
The top floor of the Daniel Building in H City, the capital of the United States.
Bivis sat on the white leather sofa, humming a little song, rubbing the purple clay pot in his hand, and his mood was particularly comfortable.
The carefully laid out bureau is proceeding according to plan, and the zombie virus is spreading even faster than imagined.
A little further behind the leather sofa is an indoor elevator leading downstairs, which is made of fully transparent material in order to ensure the overall beauty of the disc.
Milne Donnahew, Bivis's personal assistant, stood next to the elevator one floor below the disc, listening to the boss's instructions at any time, occasionally using his fingers to control the tablet in his hand a few times, frowning sometimes slightly, sometimes stretching.
Beavis was very fond of this personal assistant, and he was one of many poor college students that Bivis's father had previously sponsored.
After completing his studies, he entered the Daniel Group with excellent results, and he was loyal to the Daniel Group and quickly rose through the ranks with his hard work.
Soon he was favored by Bivis, who inherited the group, and also benefited from the recommendation of Bivis's father, and became Bivis's personal assistant.
I have to say that after Bivis has this personal assistant, he has more free time, and he also has time to savor his favorite Huaxia tea.
Milne kept the matter in order, and Bivis only had to make his final decision, leaving the rest to Milne.
Bivis put down the purple clay pot in his hand, raised his left hand with a smart watch, and tapped it on the screen with his right hand.
Soon, Milne was inside the disc.
"It's almost time to close the net, I think it's spreading very fast now!" Bivis leaned back on the couch, stretched comfortably, and smiled at Milne.
Milne expertly picked up the tablet and tapped it twice with his fingers, then handed it to Bivis:
"Boss, you see, the virus we created has spread faster than expected, the virus was activated on September 19, 2020, and the original plan was to infect two-thirds of the people on the planet in half a month, but now it's only a day, ah...... In less than a day, a third of the infection has already been infected. ”
Bevis smiled and nodded, "Oh God! That's an astounding speed! That...... At this rate, it should take less than two days for the number of infected people to reach two-thirds. ”
Milne shook his head, "No, boss, the spread of the virus is not going to increase exponentially like the mathematical model, because humans will go into evacuation mode. ”
Bivis pinched his chin with his right thumb and forefinger and thought for a moment. Milne went on to say:
"At the beginning of the outbreak of the virus, human beings were caught off guard by the virus, which led to the crazy spread of the virus, so at the beginning of the virus it was exponential, which is what we see today, and it infected nearly one-third of the world's people in less than a day."
"But now, the situation has gradually stabilized, and the uninfected humans have begun to enter the evacuation mode, and they either gather in groups to resist the zombies together, or isolate at home to avoid the zombies."
Bivis suddenly thought of something, sat up straight from the couch, interrupted Milne and said, "Then wouldn't the virus be unstoppable!" ”
Milne shook his head again: "No, their food will run out, they will have to be forced to go to the streets in search of food, and it won't be long before the number of infected people continues to skyrocket!" ”
"Then I'll rest assured, just wait, and when the number of infected people reaches two-thirds, we will announce the vaccine! Collect the net! Bivis regained confidence and a smile on his face.
"Yes boss, I believe this time will come soon, God forbid!" Milne took the tablet that Bivis handed over.
"Hahahaha......" The two of them looked at each other and laughed in unison.
Desire is the driving force of human progress, but it is also the greatest enemy of mankind.
The assets in Bivis's hands are enough for him to squander for several lifetimes, but he still does not hesitate to use the lives of countless ordinary humans to make him more wealthy, and finally his desire blinds him.
Huaxia Country B City, the headquarters of the Earth Guardians on the bright side, a small farmhouse.
It's in the middle of nowhere, and the zombie virus hasn't affected it yet.
This farmhouse was originally Cangling's hometown, and later Cangling's parents died, and after Cangling was rescued by Ma Zhen and joined the Earth Guardians, it has been used as the headquarters of the Earth Guardians on the bright side, used to cover people's eyes.
There is only a two-story building, and a thick ginkgo tree in the middle of the front yard has grown here for I don't know how many years, and the dense ginkgo leaves cover the sky and the sun, even if it rains lightly, it will not be drenched under the tree.
Cangling asked people to set up a stone table and a few stone benches under the big ginkgo tree, where they could drink tea and tease the cat in their spare time.
After Ma Zhen came, he ordered someone to put a rocking chair here, he especially likes to lie on the rocking chair, taking advantage of the shade of the big ginkgo tree, you can have a good rest.
It's getting late, and the sky in City B is drizzling as usual, but the world is different.
There are three bedrooms on the second floor of the house, one for Cang Ling and Ma Zhen, and one for emergencies.
Looking at the rain dripping the leaves of the big ginkgo tree in the yard, Cang Ling, who was wearing a white dress in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the bedroom, crossed her arms and legs, and looked at the ground.
Although she had been mentally prepared, she was still shocked by what happened today and saw the photos from the scene all over the country, the horror of the zombie virus was so amazing.
For a while, countless innocent ordinary people were infected and turned into ignorant living dead, and what is even more terrifying is that even the members of the Earth Guardians, after the awakened are infected, they will mutate their abilities, which makes zombies more difficult to deal with.
In the face of a catastrophe, human life is as fragile as a feather.
The dim lighting in the downstairs office, a full set of mahogany furniture, and a retro-style design make this room full of antique flavors.
Ma Zhen likes this design, mahogany furniture mortise and tenon structure, square and round size ratio, that edge and corner, the bones are distinct, such as a spring and clear stream, purify people's hearts that have been dyed with mortal dust for a long time, make people accessible, quiet and indifferent.
In front of the heavy office desktop, Ma Zhen sat on a staghorn chair, and the modern computer suddenly appeared on the classical office, and the bright light of the screen reflected on Ma Zhen's heavy face.
He originally thought that no matter how terrible the zombie virus was, encountering the awakened would be like an egg hitting a stone, and the awakened could easily deal with the zombies.
But he miscalculated, he didn't expect that the awakened would also be infected, and what the infected ability would become, no one knows, maybe it will become super powerful.
Looking at the data displayed on the computer, he rubbed his temples, and his right hand silently snapped his fingers, and a black flame jumped on his middle finger.
Nearly a quarter of the people in the country have been infected, and what is even more terrifying is that in the early days of the outbreak, a large number of Earth Guardians who suppressed zombies in various places were also infected, causing the zombie team to become very powerful, even the awakened should be careful when dealing with zombies.
Blowing out the flame of his fingers, Ma Zhen picked up the landline phone on the right side of the computer display screen.
"Cangling, have you been contacted by the Bivis Group?"
"Not yet, it seems to mean that they refuse to communicate, so let's go directly to them! If it doesn't work, we will unite with other countries to force them to hand over the antidote. ”
"I think so too, I believe that all countries have obtained the information that the zombie virus is made by the Bivis Group, and everyone must hate it to the core, and it should be very simple to unite." Ma Zhen said as he gently tapped the desk with his right index finger.
Cang Ling was silent for a few seconds: "Bivis released the zombie virus this time is nothing more than two possible purposes, one is that he wants to destroy the human race, or contribute to the expansion of the population, and the other is that he wants to take the opportunity to collect money and gain more wealth. ”
"Now the speed of transmission has slowed down significantly, I think it won't be long before he releases the news that he has an antidote, and since he dares to do this, I think he is prepared, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with......"
Ma Zhen still tapped the table with his hand and did not speak.
Cang Ling was silent for a while and continued, "I think we can send a group of elite teams to try it first. ”
"Just do as you say!"
