The thick walls act like a fence that separates Kyungwon from the outside world.

Zombies poured in like a tidal wave, and in just one week, they flooded all the realms as far as the naked eye could see.

They crowded outside the walls, filling the wilderness and blocking the road.

Even if you throw a Molotov cocktail out and burn a batch, as soon as the flame is extinguished, they will fill the empty space again.

Even if Jingyuan made all the gasoline in his hand into Molotov cocktails and threw them out, it would be impossible to burn these zombies, Zhoushan City is a small county town, but the original permanent population is also a full 440,000 people.

From what Tang Xue knows, it can be inferred that no more than 10,000 of the 440,000 people will survive, and this 10,000 people, plus the group of people who may have been rescued and evacuated by the army, among the remaining 430,000 people, assuming that half of them were eaten by the zombie group at the beginning of the disaster, the remaining number is more than 210,000.

The real 210,000 zombies, even if they are all piled up in the crematorium to be burned, they will have to be burned for a month.

It's hard to understand what 210,000 zombies are in terms of numbers alone, but think back to the school assembly every Monday, noisy, chaotic, disorderly, crowded, and only the heads can be seen.

School assemblies, generally only a few hundred people less than a thousand, students are still divided into classes, there are class teachers and class committee members watching, even so it will still make people feel noisy and crowded, and the number of zombies outside the wall is far more than the number of students in the school assembly, the scattered 210,000 zombies, as if all of a sudden all moved.

In addition to those rotting, slow-moving zombies, even some mutants appeared in Tang Xue's field of vision, and she said that she saw zombie dogs.

Tang Xue's inference is that the infected body of dogs and cats is too small, and it has been six years since the outbreak of the disaster.

It's like these zombies, they used to be faster than humans, but now, they move as slowly as old people.

Infected bodies also have a lifespan, the lifespan of those cats and dogs, about three to four years, these zombies, looking at their appearance, I am afraid that within seven to eight years, push a little farther, at most within ten years, they will be corrupted to the point of being unable to act and dying naturally.

Of course, mutants are a different story.

Because the road was crushed to death, Kyungwon never went out.

He abandoned the practice of throwing Molotov cocktails, but stockpiled four boxes of a total of a hundred Molotov cocktails.

In addition, he also repaired all the radios in the house, a total of 12 small radios, if necessary, he can turn up the volume to the maximum and throw it out to attract the attention of the zombie horde and open up a way.

He didn't know how long this situation would last, those zombies from the city, as if they were controlled by something, even if there were a lot of them, and if there was chaos, they would quickly calm down and wander around.

He began to save water, there was plenty of food, but the water could not be replenished, the villa was on high ground, and he could not dig up the groundwater, so he had to wait for the rain or go to the foot of the mountain to get water.

He made 20 simple disposable filters out of gauze and rubber tubes, and if it rained, he lifted the water tank to the roof, installed the filters and funnels, and made a simple rainwater collector, and the collected rainwater was used as domestic water.

On this day, it rained lightly, the sky was gray, the spring thunder sounded, and the drizzle was like silk.

He put on a raincoat and carried a rain collector and went to the roof alone.

The raindrops hit the already soaked cement, stirring up a thin mist of water, hazy and with the smell of moist earth.

Standing on the roof, you can see the outside of the fence from afar.

It's still the heads of people standing tall, and the zombies are walking everywhere.

Water seems to nourish the bodies of these zombies, making their thin arms like withered branches slightly stronger.

According to the results of observations in the past few days, every time it rains, the zombies become more active.

Kyungwon remembers that during the time he lived in 707, he encountered a typhoon-like rainstorm, which was more than 130 days ago.

When he went out in the rain, he met three zombies, and the first time he saw them, the three zombies were standing by the old fountain in the park, like sculptures, but then it seemed that because of the rain, the speed of running became similar to that of a normal person.

He asked Tang Xue if he had encountered such a situation in the north.

Tang Xue said that when it rains, the ferocity of the living corpse will indeed become higher.

When he said this, Jing Yuan felt strange again, he was in the center of the city, and he remembered that when it rained, it was acid rain, with a pungent smell of chemical mixtures, until the torrential rain continued for several days, and the smell gradually dissipated, and the rain carried a salty smell of the sea breeze.

He didn't know much about the conditions for the formation of acid rain, so he asked Tang Xue, after all, Tang Xue had won awards in various competitions.

"Acid rain usually occurs because the concentration of sulfur and nitrogen compounds in the atmosphere is too high, mainly sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, except for extreme cases such as volcanic eruptions, basically because of human activities, it will cause acid rain, and the largest factor is the waste emitted from factory combustion."

Tang Xue said: "But there are not so many factories in Zhoushan City, which is known as the country's 'oxygen bar', and the air and natural environment have always been very superior, otherwise there would be no international health care center here." ”

"But when I was in the city center, the environment there was really bad, and it was acid rain." Kyungwon will never forget the feeling of being drenched in that foul smell of acid rain.

Fortunately, it is not a concentrated sulfuric acid, a highly corrosive liquid, the acidity of acid rain is generally not high, and it will not cause disfigurement and smoke when it is sprayed on the face, probably soaking for a period of time, which will lead to symptoms such as peeling, acne and hair loss.

"I haven't been to the city center, but when I was in the gathering place, there was no acid rain there, and if it rained in the city center, there would be some impact on the edge of the city." Tang Xue said: "And there are no conditions for acid rain to form in Zhoushan City, there are no volcanoes here, and the factory was abandoned six years ago. ”

"I think it smelled pungent, and that's weird."

"I mean the conditions that the acid rain in the city center creates are not the usual factory discharge waste."

"What do you mean?"

"In addition to the waste discharged from factories, there are other ways to cause acid rain, if modern humans want to deliberately create acid rain, it is not a difficult thing, the city center, where the army has appeared, you must know that in the history of human warfare, in addition to gunpowder and artillery, there are also horrific biological and chemical weapons."

"You mean those acid rains were created before the army left?" Kyungwon suddenly realized.

"Nope." Tang Xue shook her head: "I don't think the army deliberately creates acid rain, I prefer that acid rain is a legacy of the use of some kind of weapon, speaking of which, after that heavy rain, is there still acid rain in the city center?" ”

"After that?" Kyungwon scratched his head and recalled, "It seems that there is no more, at least the smell of rain is not so pungent." ”

"That big typhoon is really rare." Tang Xue hugged Jing Yuan's hand, put her head on it, and rested her chin on his shoulder: "I have lived in Zhoushan City for almost 8 years, and it is the first time I have encountered such a big typhoon, and even the gathering place has suffered a lot of disasters, if the acid rain disappears. Maybe the water is taking away the effects of that biological weapon. I don't know if my assumption is correct, but I always felt that the spring of the seventh year had something to do with the heavy rain. ”

"What do you think is the purpose of the military's use of chemical and biological weapons?"

"The use of weapons is to kill and destroy the enemy, the key is what they want to kill, I always feel uneasy, if six years of acid rain is just a sequelae, that terrible biological weapon, what kind of monster is it used to kill? If the zombie tide has something to do with that monster, is it going to come back to life?"

This was a conversation between Kyungwon and Tang Xue a few days ago.

Tang Xue is indeed much smarter than Jing Yuan, when he was alone, he never thought that the formation of acid rain had something to do with the army, nor did he think that it might be a remnant of some kind of biological and chemical weapons.

Now, Kyungwon can be sure that many years ago, a terrible monster appeared in the center of the city, and those explosive ruins, as well as the inexplicable acid rain, are all evidence, evidence that the army fought that monster.

The master of the fungus, the master of the monsters, awakens.

All kinds of words echoed in his mind, if the monster that the army couldn't solve was revived, how could he possibly deal with it?

Kyungwon suddenly wanted to find the ghost of that day, ask him what kind of monster the fungus master was, ask him what he would do if the fungus owner woke up, ask him who he was, and what his purpose was.

But the ghost is ethereal, incorporeal, and there is no way to talk to it, and even Kyungwon sometimes wonders if it is his delusion, but all kinds of visions show that the city of Zhoushan is undergoing earth-shaking changes.

He thought that if something really happened, at least they could drive away.

The world is so big that it is impossible not to have a place to stay.

As for Xiao Yun'er. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had never chosen the monster's side all along.

But looking at the tide of zombies surging outside the wall, he sighed again and asked himself if there was really a land in this world where people could live in peace?

He doesn't want to be strong, he doesn't want to rule the world, he doesn't want to live forever, he just wants to live, live like a person, live more easily, live happily, but this seems to be as difficult as heaven.

He looked up at the gray sky, and the rain was dripping down the tip of his nose.

He was stunned, and a deafening loud sound tore through the clouds.

It was a high-pitched, air-tearing screech, a speed unparalleled, a sonic boom that would only be made beyond the speed of sound.

Human beings have been eager to fly to the sky since ancient times, and there were thousands of households flying to the sky in ancient times, and then there were the Wright brothers, and human beings finally conquered the vast sea of clouds.

Airplanes, that is a feat that marks a new era.

In Kyungwon's field of vision, gray clouds were cut through the middle, a straight trail appeared above the sky, and golden sunlight sprinkled down from the path of the gray-black fighter plane, like a door opening in the country of gold.

A humming sound resounded through the sky, and the streamlined fighter jet sped away in the direction of the sea.

Not only Kyungwon was looking up, but the zombies who were standing on the ground with their feet on their feet were also attracted by this grand voice, raised their heads, and stretched out their hands towards the sky.

Tang Xue, who was in the attic, also pushed open the window, poked her head out, held an umbrella in front of her forehead with her small hands, and looked at the great creation of mankind.

The fighter only appeared for a dozen seconds before disappearing from Kyomoto's field of vision, leaving only a trail to prove that it had actually appeared.

Kyungwon stared blankly in the direction in which the fighter had disappeared, as if a person on a desert island had seen a passing merchant ship.

He lowered the tank and immediately went downstairs to tune up the radios that could accept channels, but it was still a noisy electronic sound, and it didn't pick up any useful bands.

Tang Xue also came down from the attic, and Jing Yuan looked excited: "You also saw it, that fighter!" ”

"See." Tang Xue nodded, but didn't show much excitement, just held Jing Yuan's hand, and then turned off all those radios.

Looking at Tang Xue's quiet eyes, Jing Yuan's emotions gradually calmed down and sighed.

"It's better not to rush into contact with them." Tang Xue said.

"What do you think the purpose of that fighter is for?" Kyungwon asked.

"I don't know." Tang Xue shook his head: "But the piloting cost and maintenance cost of a fighter jet are extremely high, and it is impossible for an individual to be able to drive it today six years later, there must be an organization behind that fighter." ”

"Could it be that on the other side of the North Sea, the army that was evacuated back then?"

"Possibly."

"Maybe they've found a way to deal with mold, and maybe we can call them for help."

"I don't deny these possibilities, but six years ago, the army abandoned the evacuation of the entire state and mountain city, and when they left, they didn't send announcements on the radio station, they didn't say they wanted to rescue the survivors, they turned a blind eye to the people in the disaster, there were radios in the public areas of the survivors' quarters, and there were people there every day to tune the radio, but they never received any signals, and as far as the truth was concerned, they didn't give us hope and help, the supplies that were piled up on the beach, It's more like they left it than they stayed, the government is dead, and the people who flew the fighter plane and the forces behind it, we don't know what they want to do. ”

Kyungwon was silent for a moment and then said, "You're right. I'm too anxious, but don't you want to go back to normal human life? ”

"Society is made up of connections between people, and the society I know has long been completely destroyed." Tang Xue looked into Jing Yuan's eyes: "I mean, I just want to be by your side." ”
