Chapter 042: The Living Corpse Moves
The large-scale casualties caused by the mutation of the living corpses basically came from the earliest waves of mutations.
The people in the Xiandu thought it was typhoid Gu at noon, but they turned their heads and turned into corpse Gu. Many people who were playing outside were going to go home after lunch to avoid the limelight, but before they finished eating, they were eaten first.
The people in other cities in the western part of Tianxia were still grabbing the blue root on the front foot, and they were about to go home to support Xiandu on the Internet, but they found out on the back foot that there was no need to support, the living corpses entered the city, and their own families had to ask for help.
The people in the central part of Tianxia, watching TV after finishing the supplies, watching TV, and surfing the Internet, all paid close attention to the catastrophe in the western region, debating whether it was the pot of the Star Alliance on the other side of the ocean, and discussing whether the White Tiger Army of the Western Military Region could not even suppress the living corpses because it lacked training in peacetime.
Just as the keyboard warriors said that the White Tiger Army was useless and suggested that the Qilin Army rush to the west to support, they found that the living corpses had been refreshed to the middle, and the keyboards that were usually used as weapons were not used at all, so they could only hurriedly deal with the living corpses that stole home.
This time, netizens who eat melons in the east were dumbfounded. It wasn't dark yet, and before dinner was made, the corpse Gu spread from the west to the middle? Won't the east soon follow in the footsteps of the middle?
Of course, after all, with enough reaction time, the situation in the eastern part of Tianxia was quite controllable, at least there was no large corpse tide.
But the central part is a mess, with good and bad ones. The western part is directly a piece of erosion, and even the five districts in the center of Xiandu have directly lost three.
It's not that the Sheriff's Office is useless, it's that the mutation is too fast, and many people are directly turned into living corpses before they are bitten in the early days of the end of the world, resulting in a snowball of corpses.
It's like the old city, where 10 percent of the residents have become living corpses, and as soon as 10 percent of the living people are bitten to death, 20 percent of the remaining 80 adults are frightened into living corpses. These thirty percent of the living corpses rushed again, and the mentality of the remaining sixty percent of the living people also collapsed, even if they didn't become living corpses, they could only run away blindly.
And when the living corpses wrap around the living to form a corpse tide, how can the ordinary security officers who usually manage traffic and mud have seen this meeting? In addition, there are not many guns and ammunition in the Public Security Bureau, even if they take out a small pistol for public security, they can't control the tide of corpses at all.
It was not until the vanguard of the White Tiger Army arrived and the machine guns washed the ground that the front was barely stabilized.
But behind the stabilization of the front, it also means that outside the front is abandoned. Because there is no obvious difference between a living person and a living corpse, it is okay to be alone, but those who are wrapped in the tide of corpses have no way to distinguish at all, and they are directly washed together by the machine gun barrage.
But the fuck is that shooting at a living person who is obviously just being swept up in the tide of corpses has brought a lot of psychological pressure to the young soldiers in the vanguard unit, not to mention this kind of scene of corpses everywhere and rivers of blood, which also makes many soldiers unbearable.
It would be fine if all the fighters were just disgusted and retching because of this, but there was a small group of fighters, who were originally quite good in physical fitness, but because their mood fluctuated too much, their brains were hot, and they also became living corpses, giving their fellow fighters an internal flowering.
Coupled with the limited ammunition carried by the vanguard troops, they could only barely hold the front, but they were unable to enter the corpse-occupied area to control the situation. By the time the follow-up troops arrived, the number of survivors in the corpse-occupied area had been drastically reduced, at least there were no longer large survivor strongholds with high rescue value, and only scattered survivors remained.
On the second day, in addition to maintaining the front, the White Tiger Army was busy cleaning up the living corpses in the position control area in a timely manner, and at the same time sent a number of small troops to rescue the corpse-occupied area.
As a result, the rescue team found that the living corpses were evolving, and even encountered evolutions that were significantly different from ordinary living corpses from time to time.
It's fine to face ordinary living corpses, but interviewing living corpse evolutions, using only light guns, is difficult to solve quickly. And once the dynamic firearms and weapons are used, they directly change from infiltration to recklessness, and each time they can't go far at all, and can only rescue some survivors on the edge of the corpse area.
In short, mass casualties basically came from the first day of the last days, when they were suddenly stolen by corpses or living corpses. Many have either been bitten to death by living corpses, or have simply ceased to be human beings.
By the next day, both the survivors and the soldiers on the front lines had become numb to the fact that they were fleeing for their lives or killing people. If the mood is numb, if the heart is dead, it is not easy to become a living corpse.
In other words, the number of new living corpses has plummeted, although it is still quite a lot, but at least the number of living corpses has not increased exponentially.
At the same time, the living corpses are relatively peaceful.
Even if it is a living corpse locked in the house, as long as there are other people's corpses in the house, it will not make too much noise. After all, living corpses are more inclined to eat flesh than attacking people.
But it was only the second day.
And now, it is the third day of the end times.
May 4, 4:04 a.m.
Wang Ye glanced at the time, did not turn off the phone directly, but took advantage of the gap between Lu Xueqiang and Ye Ling listening to the outside world, and clicked on the Tianxia Ann APP before.
There is an update package that I don't know when it will be automatically downloaded, and I ask if the update is installed.
Wang Ye ordered the installation, and then soon entered Tianxia Ann.
Compared with the first version hastily launched by the federation yesterday, the main thing is to add an account function, which can directly retrieve the ID code of the federal database, generate an account after authentication, and post and communicate on the forum. But now, the net is gone, and this new feature has no meaning for Wang Ye.
He opened the forum, and it went blank. The information stickers that were originally cached offline were put into the newly created library section, and they can still be clicked on, but they cost electricity.
Exiting the APP, Wang Ye directly turned off his mobile phone, and then looked at Ye Ling.
At this time, Ye Ling showed a thoughtful look after listening to the sound of the outside world for a while.
Wang Ye took the opportunity to say: "Regardless of the degree of evolution, the current living corpses are actually divided into two categories, one is the trapped living corpse locked in the house, and the other is the wandering living corpse dangling in the outside world. It's hard to say in a big city, but in our small county, there is usually more than one person in the house. In other words, at the beginning of the last days, most of the trapped living corpses, even if they were locked in the house, actually had rations. ”
"But now it's summer, the weather is getting hotter, and the corpse will stink and start to rot after more than a day. In addition, the living corpse has a good appetite and eats quickly, so it is estimated that it will last for a day or two at most, that is, until the early hours of this morning. And the trapped corpses that have eaten the rations will never stay in the house again, and will inevitably start to make trouble. ”
"And the wandering corpses, wandering for a day or two, should have almost caught those survivors who may have been trapped in companies, hotels and other places, and had to risk breaking out because they had no food to survive. In order to replenish their energy, the wandering corpses will inevitably become more restless. ”
"If the corpse Gu is just a disease Gu mutated from nature, in this case, as long as the survivors die and don't go out, I think there is a high probability that the living corpses will start killing each other and change the feeding targets to each other." Wang Ye sighed, "But unfortunately, the corpse Gu is not naturally mutated, but a genetic medicine that will allow the living corpse to also evolve into the abdomen and brain." ”
He thought that before he encountered the motorcycle team in Tangjiagou, Tsing Yi Town, the living corpses there already knew that they had divided their troops to surround the houses, and initially formed a relatively scattered hunting team.
Although the evolved body was not perceived in Tangjiagou at that time, this was not good news. Because this means that there is no need to evolve into an evolutionary body, some living corpses with good talent have already appeared in the initial hunting intelligence, and can command other living corpses - even if it is not a command, just a simple influence, which is worth paying attention to.
Moreover, the number of ordinary living corpses whose evolution direction is hunting wisdom is definitely more than that of living corpse evolutions, which means that it is more popular among living corpses.
Today is the third day of the apocalypse, and it is also the first day that the living corpses who have digested the first wave of human dividends will start to take the initiative to attack the survivors.
Listening to Wang Ye's analysis of the situation, the dining room was unusually quiet, and only the noise of the outside world came from time to time.
Wang Ye walked from the dining room to the living room, looked at the outside world and seemed to never be able to wait for the dawn of the night, and suddenly made a decision: "After dawn, Ye Ling, you and Xue Qiang will go out, and collect materials around the vicinity of the community, and first remove all the batteries of those trams nearby." Then, in the afternoon, you can wait for me to finish busy, go out together, and try to get a big car back. ”
Ye Ling's eyes seemed to be glowing. "Guaranteed to get the job done." She picked up the fruit knife from the living room table and said with a smile, "But, brother, what are you going to do if you don't come with us in the morning?" ”
"I'll get out of here." Wang Ye looked at the door of his house blocked by the washing machine, "The living corpses upstairs, I'm going to clean up a wave, at least ensure that when we transfer the supplies later, we don't jump down from the upper floor and land on the balcony outside." ”
The balcony of Wang Ye's house is actually equivalent to being sandwiched between two unit buildings. It's just the second floor of another unit building, and the owner's family is abroad all the year round, so Wang Ye's family is using this balcony, and even transformed the balcony into a vegetable garden.
However, some of the upstairs residents of the two buildings, some of whom do not have security barriers, can actually jump from the upstairs and fall onto the balconies.
If you want to drive the cart to the street below the balcony and then carry the supplies up and down, the movement is definitely not small. In order to completely eliminate future troubles, Wang Ye was ready to go on a trip first and confirm from house to house. If there is a living corpse in the house, they break down the door and destroy the living corpse.
"By the way, Xueqiang, will you drive a big car?" Wang Ye suddenly looked at Lu Xueqiang.
Lu Xueqiang nodded hurriedly: "I can drive, I used to drive at home, but I only took the car test for my driver's license." ”
At first, he actually wanted to ask, isn't it afraid that smashing the car and dismantling the battery will attract living corpses. But seeing Ye Ling's smiling face, Lu Xueqiang's heart trembled suddenly: This girl, looking at Wenwen quietly, is more murderous than Wang Ye.
That is, Wang Ye didn't know the doubts in Lu Xueqiang's heart, otherwise he would definitely laugh. Back then, Wang Ye bought two copies of Master Chen's unlimited martial arts, but he didn't look at them and threw them directly on the bookcase in the dormitory, but Ye Ling flipped the book back and forth several times, and even wanted to try Wang Ye several times.
"Okay, that's it. I'll clean up the aftermath first, and you can dismantle the battery near the perimeter. After lunch, we will go out to find the cart together. Finally, depending on the situation, I will decide whether to run to the countryside overnight tonight or leave tomorrow. ”
