Chapter 071: There Will Be Dawn at the End of the Night
Suddenly, it was dark.
There was no moonlight, no lights, only the raging fire of the chemical plant, still stubbornly stuck to the retina.
But Wang Ye stood by the window and looked down to see that the originally chaotic and restless Jade World community had returned to desolate silence after the explosion of the chemical plant.
Perhaps, it was the explosion at the chemical plant that calmed their emotions.
Perhaps, it was the darkness of the night that cooled their hearts.
Civilization has collapsed, order has fallen, and since May 2nd, tonight is the seventh day of the outbreak of the corpse plague.
For the vast majority of survivors, negative emotions are like a nightmare that drags them down into the abyss of despair.
Especially when the officers and soldiers have no time to take care of many county towns and are unable to divide troops to support, the hearts of many people are like a quiet city under the night.
There is no light.
There was no fire either.
So that there is no hope, no life.
Wang Ye lowered his eyes and slowly closed his eyes......
No!
There is still fire!
He opened his eyes and looked at the building opposite, as well as the other units.
Although the curtains were tightly closed, he could still see that there was a faint fire in many of the rooms, and it was the people in the house who were trying to find a way to cook and eat.
There is still light!
He looked up into the distance, looking at the old town to the north.
There were many cars speeding at night, and the beams of the headlights were like swords that cut through the dark beasts, and a sword fell on Wang Ye's retina.
Wang Ye didn't know if these people were driving at night to leave the old city or what they were doing, but Wang Ye knew that they were still alive and trying to live.
This is the presentation of the spiritual outlook of the Tianxia people, as long as they are not dead, they will not give up their desire and search for life.
In other words, there will be dawn at the end of the night.
No matter how deep and dark the night is, the fire is still not extinguished.
…………
Late at night, Wang Ye was looking inward and contemplating.
But compared to his performance a while ago, Wang Ye felt that the abdomen and brain had made little progress recently, and there were almost no major changes, as if the corpse Gu had become accustomed to and adapted to the current situation in his body, and felt that the abdomen was enough to this extent, and no longer stimulated abdominal neurons to form more synapses.
Perhaps, this speed is the normal speed now. Even the high cultivation that has been successful in ancient times can only be promoted to innate by relying on decades of water grinding work.
But Wang Ye had experienced the rapid evolution speed under the stimulation of the corpse Gu, how could he endure this kind of turtle-like speed?
Especially in the case of endless living corpse evolutions, uncles can bear it, and aunts can't bear it.
Wang Ye frowned secretly in his heart.
Could it be that the concentration of corpse Gu in the body is not high enough?
Or do you need the thrill of life and death?
Wang Ye thought of the strange changes in his body after breaking through the Minjiang Bridge on the day of the 3rd, and thought about it.
…………
The next morning, the emotional Wang Ye went offline and replaced with the rational Wang Ye online.
He took the binoculars and looked out in the direction of the old town.
Since last night, it seems that many survivors have fled south by car.
And now, there is a large group of people walking south.
The scorching sun hangs high in the sky.
But when the sun hit Wang Ye, his heart sank.
Although it was far away, he couldn't really see it with a telescope, but he could still see the group of people in the dark.
It's just that this group of people is not a living person, but a living corpse......
Unless it is an army, it is impossible for so many living people to gather together and move forward slowly.
And after excluding the living, there is only one answer.
These are groups of living corpses, living corpses marching in droves on the street under the direct rays of the sun.
Although the living corpse is not a nocturnal species, it will instinctively hate the big sun normally. And now that the group of corpses is walking in the daytime, there must be an evolutionary body that can influence the command of the corpse group to guide them.
Evolved from a sapient living corpse.
Wang Ye thought of what Xiao Jiuming said a few days ago, the newly born intelligent living corpse evolution in the supermarket.
He was thinking about avoiding the edge, and he would have evacuated from North Street immediately anyway, and he wouldn't deal with the evolutionary.
But for now, it seems that because the survivors continue to flee south, the evolved body leads the corpse herd and begins to move south.
Moreover, there were only more than 100 living corpses in the supermarket at that time, but now they have swelled to five or six hundred corpses.
Although the group of living corpses may not move south to the Jade World, Wang Ye's face is still a little solemn.
He quickly rushed to room 2402 and brought everyone together to discuss - Li Nianwen's mother and son, who were on duty on the second and fifth floors, were listening through the walkie-talkie.
"There's something right now, and I'd like to hear what you think." Wang Ye got straight to the point, "I don't know if it was affected by the explosion of the chemical plant, and survivors in the old city began to flee south. But in addition to the survivors, I also noticed this morning that a group of corpses had begun to move south in the face of the sun. ”
"If nothing else, there should be an intelligent living corpse evolution in the corpse group, from commanding more than a hundred living corpses a few days ago, to commanding five or six hundred living corpses now. In five days, the power has swelled, but I personally feel that it is leading the corpses to actively hunt the survivors. ”
"According to my personal judgment, although the corpses are moving south, they are hunting some communities while walking, and the speed of moving south is not fast, and they may not turn to the side of the Emerald World in the end."
"However, no matter which direction the corpses are moving, I want to hear everyone's opinions first. You can say whatever you want, and everyone can speak freely. ”
Located in the lower reaches of the Minjiang River, Jade World is a new area developed and constructed by the ancient county government outside the old city and along the Minjiang River. If the corpses eventually want to move this way, after heading south to the vicinity of the Chengnan gas station, they will have to go east and then continue south.
And after understanding and digesting the latest situation that Wang Ye said, Lu Xueqiang took the lead in raising his hand and asked, "Wang Ye, do you want to take the initiative to kill the evolutionary body?" ”
Wang Ye shook his head: "You don't care what I think, just say your views on this matter and the current situation, and you can say anything you want." ”
Lu Xueqiang stared at Wang Ye for a long time before he spoke: "If I have my opinion, it is to ignore it." No matter how small Gujun County is, it is still a county, not a village. The corpses don't necessarily come here, and even if they do, we are on the 24th floor, and it will be difficult to be found. ”
Ye Ling frowned and said, "The intelligent living corpse evolution, hiding in the corpse group, feels more difficult to deal with than the combat power type living corpse evolution." There are more than 500 living corpses, even if they don't resist, I'm afraid they will have to kill until they are soft. And as time passes, the corpses it commands will grow in size. ”
Xiao Jiuming was a little hesitant, and only after Wang Ye looked at him did he say, "I feel that this kind of corpse group is definitely not something we can deal with." But if you look at it, I can't say if the corpses will eventually turn to our side. So I wondered if I should find a way to divert the corpses in other directions. ”
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Anyway, as long as there are cars, whether they are vans or bicycles, they should be able to get rid of the corpses after luring them away." And as long as we are led away and make sure that the corpses don't continue to move south, we don't have to worry about it anymore. ”
