Chapter 124: Kyungwon and the Spring Anomaly
After repairing the off-road vehicle, Kyungwon was in the attic and set up a telescope.
Generally speaking, only Western-style buildings have an attic, usually a ceiling on the top floor, and a small built-in floor, the entrance of the attic is a ladder that can be pulled down, and Westerners will pile up old things and unused debris into the attic.
Every morning, he would ask Tang Xue to look outside the wall with a telescope to see if anything was going on.
In addition, he found some solar panels and came back, and found them in an abandoned strawberry picking base, and he brought back the solar panels and a bunch of line batteries and handed them to Tang Xue to fiddle with.
Sometimes Tang Xue would ask him to help turn on the circuit and connect it again, she took the two batteries from the generator and said that they were used as batteries, and then followed Jingyuan to the strawberry picking base again, and found a good inverter in a mess of things.
Anyway, Kyungwon watched her tinker with rows of solar panels on the terrace and connect the batteries to the circuits.
At night, she pressed the light switch, and as soon as she boarded it, the house lit up.
Tang Xue said that the photoelectric conversion efficiency of these panels is about 15%, and the power generation efficiency of solar energy is very low, but as long as it is sunny, it is not a problem to supply electricity for lighting, and there can also be surplus electricity to supply induction cookers or hot water kettles.
Their lives have been moving towards a good place, and food is plentiful.
When spring came, Kyungwon took a hoe to cultivate the vegetable garden, carrying some potatoes and sweet potatoes that were good to feed, as well as vegetables such as shallots, garlic, and radish.
It's completely early spring, and it's rarely cloudy, and the rain is only a light rain.
Kyung-won often asks Tang Xue to keep an eye on the direction of the city center, and he is working on his parkour skills and chopping skills every day, and his spirit is tense.
Then there is the ability to try to develop the microflora, and there is an ability that he has not yet tried, the ability to isolate the microflora from the body and inject it into other organisms, like a parasite, to control the living beings.
He used it on the sluggish zombies, infiltrating their ears and noses and invading their brains.
It's true that you can control these zombies, but you can't give too precise orders, you can't do what you want, at most, it's like a remote-controlled car, controlling them to turn a corner or wave their arms somewhere.
And once he is about 20 meters away, this connection will be broken, and the zombie will act according to his last order.
Although it is a manipulation, the zombies still retain some instincts, they are still attracted by loud voices or the smell of blood, and whether they faithfully carry out orders or not is determined by the number of bacteria released by Kyungwon in their brains.
All in all, it was too wasteful to use the microflora on these wastes, and Kyungwon only gave it a shallow try, and took all the microflora back.
It would be nice to be able to control an elite monster like a mutant cow, but to control a living mutant cow, the number of bacteria needed is a lot.
Suppose there is a mutant cow for him to control now, then first of all, it means that he can't absorb the flora in the mutant cow's body to improve his ability, and secondly, he must at least infiltrate 90% of the bacteria he has in his body at the moment into the body of the mutant cow in order to be said to be completely controlled, and the remaining 10% of the flora is basically of no help to him.
In exchange for this, it is a very difficult to control big bull, and he doesn't know whether it is cost-effective or not.
But for the time being, he doesn't need to do this multiple-choice question, because it's just a hypothesis.
More than twenty days have passed since he met the zombie cat and the ghost brother, and nothing special has happened in between, and he has not dared to go to the city center again.
He still thinks about Xiao Yun'er in his heart, but frankly speaking, he is not a carefree person, he can't give up everything and risk the unknown to go to the city center again.
Moreover, what Xiao Yun'er has become, he has no way of knowing.
No matter which way you look at it, Xiao Yun'er is not an individual who can be inferred with common sense, and Kyungwon is not sure whether the unknown creature that hatched out of the cocoon will be his friend or enemy.
On this morning, he helped pull down the ladder in the attic as usual and asked Tang Xue to use the telescope.
He went downstairs to wash, turned on the induction cooker and put the pot to boil water, took out the leftover food from last night from the refrigerator, steamed it in the pot, Xiaobai lay lazily on the ground, it became a lot fatter, every day it just ate and slept, slept and ate, and it was about to become a pig.
He went upstairs to call Tang Xue to eat, but Tang Xue suddenly called his name and asked him to come up and have a look.
"What's wrong?" Kyungwon climbed up the attic.
"See for yourself." Tang Xue beckoned and summoned him to the telescope.
Puzzled, he came to the small window that opened outward.
After absorbing the flora of the mutant cow, his eyesight improved a little, but it was still far worse than that of a normal person, so he handed over the task of looking at it to Tang Xue.
But at this moment, even his eyesight could see that something was wrong.
He looked around with a telescope, and on the originally empty roads and wilderness, there were sparse groups of zombies, in Jing Yuan's field of vision, those handful of small black spots, very eye-catching, and even a few, I don't know when, wandered outside the wall of the villa area, fortunately the wall was sealed earlier, otherwise maybe the zombies were already scratching the door of their house.
"Isn't that a strange amount?" Tang Xue said: "We regard the scattered living corpses observed in the past few days as a normal phenomenon that will occur after the arrival of spring, but the number and density observed today have almost quadrupled compared to yesterday, and quadrupled overnight.
Jing Yuan frowned: "It's very strange, last autumn, when you didn't come, I lived here for a few months, at that time, I didn't close the door or the wall, there were no zombies to wander over, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be so many zombies in the southern suburbs." ”
"It's possible that the living corpses in the room have come out." Tang Xue thought for a moment and said: "What you can see in autumn are all zombies that are already active outdoors, indoors, in those houses, there should be a large part of the group of living corpses that do not see the light, it may be that they came out of the room for some reason, and in the details I see, most of the decay of those living corpses is not high." ”
"But how did they come out of nowhere?" Kyungwon felt very uneasy in his heart, and only when he looked at the high walls could he feel a little calmer.
