Chapter 240: Investigate the source

In order to understand the doubts in Xingxing, Liao Fan followed without saying a word.

Crossing the main road in the center of the city, the two soon slipped into an old and dilapidated alley.

The alley is surrounded by barbed wire, and there is only a well-defended iron gate to enter and exit, and there are many guards placed around the iron gate, everyone with loaded guns, as if guarding some important forbidden area.

As soon as Liao Fan came here, he immediately frowned, not because of how dilapidated this place was, but because after he entered this alley, he immediately caught a familiar and strange aura.

"Zombie Man's Breath ......"

Sensing the dark aura mixed in the air, Liao Fan's eyes sank, and before he could speak, he heard Zhao Yi beside him sigh non-stop,

"A week ago, a special virus broke out in our city, and no one knows how this virus came about, only that it can infect a person and turn it into a zombie-like monster in a silent way."

Previously, Chen Guodong's gathering place had indeed been continuously accepting homeless refugees, and had inadvertently accommodated many carriers of the virus.

The men were acting normal when they first entered the gathering point, but soon after entering the gathering point, they showed sporadic signs of attacking the surrounding crowd and pounced and bit at other refugees.

Many innocent people have been infected and become new zombies.

"The virus spreads so fast that we can only control those who have obvious signs of mutation, but even then we can't completely stop the spread of the virus."

Zhao Yi shook his head helplessly as he spoke, "Because the gathering point is too big, new refugees come to us every day, and no one knows whether these refugees are carriers of the virus, so in order to prevent it from continuing to spread, we have to order the entire gathering point to be blocked." ”

"I see."

Liao Fan nodded, only then did he understand why the middle-aged police officer would forbid him to enter the settlement, so he stopped pursuing it at the moment, and instead looked at the areas that were isolated by iron fences in the depths of the street.

Inside the building, a series of thin, numb and brutal figures were lying in the metal cage with a frantic face, grinning with a big black mouth, and roaring "whoop" at the two living people.

Although their bodies were trapped in the cage, these zombie people infected with the virus did not stop howling, but kept waving their dry claws, hitting the iron cage again and again, trying to rush up and bite Liao Fan.

Those thumb-thick steel bars also fell into distortion and deformation under the constant impact of the zombie people, making a clattering crashing sound.

There are more than a dozen buildings along the block, each surrounded by a metal fence.

Through these cages, Liao Fan saw more infected people, some with numb expressions and dull faces, while others were irritable and abnormal, still frantically gnawing at the metal fence outside the cage.

Liao Fan lightly swept over these zombie people, and said,

"How many of these zombies are there in the gathering point?"

Zhao Yi sighed and said, "There are almost two or three hundred, and the virus is still spreading, according to this trend, the number of infected people is still increasing, and I don't know when it will be a head." That's right......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yi raised his gaze again and looked at Liao Fandao puzzled,

"Why did you take the initiative to come to the gathering point to contact us this time?"

Liao Fan pointed to the infected people who were being held in cages, "It's also because of them." ”

Then, he told the story of his sudden large-scale zombie attack on his way back.

Hearing this, a touch of excitement also appeared on Zhao Yi's face, and he said loudly,

"So, the source of these human infections and mutations is near that urban village in the eastern suburbs?"

"It should be!"

Liao Fan nodded, saying that he suddenly visited, in order to provide Chen Guodong with information about this matter, hoping to recruit a group of people from here to deal with those zombies, but he didn't expect this thing to spread so fast, and it had already threatened the gathering point in the city center.

Zhao Yi said excitedly, "Okay, I'll notify the director and report the information you have, you can come with me quickly, I want to come to the Chen Bureau and hope to see you again." ”

After speaking, Zhao Yi couldn't wait to turn around and lead the way, get out of the dark alley again, and lead Liao Fan into the police office building in the core area of the city.

At this time, the police station building has become the real center of Lincheng, and the streets outside the building are not only planted with a large number of garrisons with loaded guns, but also a number of police bulletproof armored vehicles, a large number of weapons are loaded on the car, and a posture of being put into battle at any time.

The garrison area was heavily defended, but under the leadership of Zhao Yi, Liao Fan still entered the office building proudly and easily.

After a long checkpoint, he was taken to the conference hall on the third floor.

Pushing open the door of the last office, Liao Fan saw Chen Guodong at a glance, sitting in the office chair with a sad face, worried about the large number of documents on the table.

"Chen Ju, it's been a long time."

Liao Fan stepped into the office and greeted him with a smile.

But in the face of Liao Fan's visit, Chen Guodong looked sad, and didn't seem to have too much intention to welcome, still sitting on the office chair, motioning for Liao Fan to sit down at will.

I haven't seen him for more than a month, and Chen Guodong's temples are gray at this time, compared with the energetic appearance before the apocalypse, it has obviously changed a lot, and his face is full of unsolvable sorrow.

It's no wonder that Lin Cheng's current situation has become a mess, with the limited resources in his hands, it is really difficult to maintain the overall situation, and he needs to deal with all kinds of troubles every day, and he has already boiled his hair gray and exhausted himself.

Liao Fan sat on the sofa in the living room by himself, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "It seems that you haven't had a good time in the past month." ”

Chen Guodong glanced at him, and said angrily,

"Do you think it's possible for me to be happy? After the disaster, Lin Cheng not only faced the attack of a large number of creatures from the outer universe, but also the climate and environment have undergone tremendous changes, in just one month, our population has plummeted to less than three percent, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of survivors need to consume a lot of food and supplies every day, just to maintain the current situation, I am already exhausted, not to mention that there are so many zombies in the city......"

Liao Fan snapped his fingers with a smile, nodded lightly and said, "I understand, in fact, I came here this time to solve your problems." ”

"What do you mean?"

Chen Guodong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up and said.

Liao Fan cleared his throat, recounted his encounter on the road, and then gave his own analysis,

"According to my inference, these zombie viruses should have poured into Blue Star through that abnormal channel, as long as you send a team of people to accompany me in to check the situation, maybe you can formulate corresponding countermeasures."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Chen Guodong immediately became excited, smashed his fist on the desk, took a deep breath and said, "Then how many people do you need this time?" ”

"About fifty or sixty, after all, I don't know what kind of environment is behind that spatial passage, if there are too many people, it may backfire, just select some elites to accompany me in."

"No problem!"

Chen Guodong, who was eager to find out the truth about the virus outbreak, did not hesitate and immediately grabbed the landline phone on the table.
