"Fourteen days ago, the reconnaissance team found a Jeff M3001 in a deserted suburb in the northwest, which was a four-wheeled off-road vehicle that Jeff's company discontinued ten years ago, with a reference price of 1.2 million, purchased domestically, due to tariffs and restrictions, the price will fluctuate by about 600,000 yuan."

"The results of the preliminary observation of the drone show that the damage to the body is very high, the front window is completely shattered, suspected to have been smashed by heavy blows, there is a lot of debris stirred in the wheels, the hood of various parts has different degrees of depression, and in the cracks of the wheels, there are stumps and bone fragments of infected objects, and it is inferred that the car has been besieged by a considerable number of infected people."

"After I got this debriefing, I remotely ordered the removal of the surrounding infected body and investigated the details inside the car."

A clear plastic file bag was thrown onto Tang Xue's hospital bed, containing a stack of photos, which was the broken Jeff M3001.

It was originally a navy blue SUV, and in the photo, it looked black with coagulated blood, and the front window was completely shattered, as if it had been a car accident, but the front hood did not appear to be widely dented.

"The investigation results show that the engine, oil pipe, and battery in the car have been replaced and modified to varying degrees, and the left rear wheel is not the original tire, and it is speculated that these traces are caused by the age and replacement of parts after aging."

The woman continued: "The investigators simulated the scene at that time, and they believed that the window was shattered from the inside, because there were no signs of extensive damage to the body, and the glass fragments of the window were scattered outwards in large quantities, which would not have been caused if it had been hit hard from the outside." ”

"The front window of Jeff M3001 is made of standard bulletproof glass, and with the strength of a normal adult man, even with a hammer, it is difficult to create such a large area of holes, of course, not to exhaust the parties using other tools."

"In addition, in the driver's seat and co-pilot position in the car, a domestically banned 486 Parallelo double-barreled shotgun, a P90 machine gun, and a modified QBZ-191 automatic rifle, of which 191 has the most traces of use, but the gun body parts are not seriously worn, and the gun owner, with good knowledge of firearm maintenance, is suspected to be a soldier, because the domestic QBZ-191 has been used as a gun for elite units such as special operations forces and synthetic brigades."

"The back seat and trunk of the car were stocked with food, water and all kinds of miscellaneous items, and there was a fireworks packaging shell that fell inside the car, which proves that the person driving the car is most likely the person who set off the fireworks that night."

"The investigation team returned to the camp seven days ago and brought back these photographs taken at the scene, as well as some exhibits, among which the most special thing except for the gun was a crude machete of unknown material, which roughly measured its hardness exceeded 180HRC, which has exceeded the standard hardness of industrial steel."

"And these two notes." The woman picked up the "Illustrated Guide to Infectious Bodies": "In seven days, I have read these two notebooks more than 100 times. ”

"I've been studying 'Hel' professionally for six years, and there aren't too many people in the world who know more about this creature than I do, and I can basically tell if it's made up or not, and I spent seven days trying to prove that these two notes are wrong, forgery, but in the end I failed."

"Although there is a lot of content in it, I have never been confirmed and experimented, but from the theory I currently have, I can't find any loopholes in it, even if there are things that contradict my theory, it is more reasonable in the notes, and even these illustrated books have helped me solve some of the content that I am currently puzzled about, and I can be sure that the author of the note is recording and writing down his own personal experience and personal experience."

"Miss Tang Xue, my assistant analyzed the DNA samples brought back by the investigators, because the DNA samples were too mixed, so the analysis results of the instrument did not come out until the early hours of last night, and we compared your DNA fragments in it, I think you should know something, so I hope you can tell me the story of you."

Tang Xue picked up another copy of "Xiao Yun'er's Observation Diary", looked at the woman, and after a moment of silence, asked, "What do you want to know?" ”

"You used to be in that car, didn't you?"

"There's no need to say anything tentative, but before I answer your question, I hope you can answer me a question first."

"Excuse me."

"How many of you have read these two notebooks?"

"There are no more than five people, including me, who have been in my possession since they were brought back, and as for those investigators, you can rest assured that they are not professionals and cannot see the authenticity of the notes, nor can they guess the identity of the author."

Tang Xue looked at the closed door, and combined with the woman's move of supporting the bodyguard just now, she understood what she meant.

If she had really studied these two notebooks carefully, she would have understood that the author was not a human being.

Tang Xue had also read these two notebooks earlier, and the content was completely recorded from Jing Yuan's personal perspective, clearly mentioning that zombies would not take the initiative to attack him, as well as some of his feelings and complaints about the changes in his body.

At first glance, it's easy to think that this is a fictional work, but in fact, the text is all a documentary record, and there is no adulteration.

What the woman means is that she can keep it a secret and can hide the inhuman author from the author without telling the contents of the note to anyone else.

But it's hard to guarantee whether she's talking or not, but even if she's talking nonsense, Tang Xue has no choice.

No matter how carefully concocted a lie is, in the eyes of experts, just a joke.

The woman was clearly interested in the author, and she had a high status at the HSA, because she was an expert, and everyone would listen to the experts in the face of that unknown and dangerous mold, and it could be said that the HSA's army was for researchers like them.

Where to collect research materials, and what kind of materials to collect, each item is determined by the researcher, who is actually the one who is really in power in this army.

If Tang Xue didn't communicate with her, she might order HSA to search for the author of the note with all her might, although HSA hadn't seen Kyungwon, but a modern force that was enough to level the city was terrifying to think about, fighter jets, missiles and tanks, these could never be fought against by a flesh and blood body.

If they really make up their minds to find it, they may turn the city of Susan upside down, and who knows what they will do to Kyungwon.

The opportunity to test and influence a woman's course of action may only be this one in front of her, and she can't be silent or fooled anymore.

Tang Xue's hand twisted the thin page of the note, brewing in her heart for a while, and made eye contact with the woman.

"You can ask your questions, and I'm not going to lie or distort the facts, but there are some questions that I might choose not to answer."

"If you don't want to answer, then you just say skip, I'll try not to embarrass you."

The woman sat down on a stool beside the bed.

"You said that the person who traveled with you was an adult male, is he the author of the note?"

"Yes."

"Biologically, he's not human, is he?"

"Yes."

"What are his three meals a day on weekdays, I don't have to go into too much detail, tell me whether he eats vegetables or not, and whether he eats meat on weekdays, whether he eats raw meat or cooked meat."

"He eats vegetables and rice, but he eats meat at every meal, and basically does not eat raw meat, mostly cooked meat."

"It's even better to eat cooked meat," the woman took out a small notebook from her shirt pocket and wrote something on it.

"Anything strange about this from a professional point of view?" Tang Xue asked.

"'Hel' is a very special life, their reproduction in the early stage, must rely on the active substances in the organism, human beings prefer to eat cooked meat, because high temperature can destroy the protein structure, make it easier to absorb, but for 'Hel' and 'Hel' infected, the fresher the meat, the greater the attraction to them, I think, he doesn't like to eat cooked meat, just force himself to eat cooked meat, you should live with him, what do you think about this?"

"He didn't show it, but I could vaguely feel that you were right."

"Well, the next question, how old does he look?"

"Between 25~35."

"What's the state of his skin, is there anything like skin moss?"

"No, he's got good skin."

"Will he be able to talk to you like a normal person?"

"Yes."

"When the sun is out, does he prefer to stay outdoors or indoors?"

"Outside, he loves to bask in the sun."

"Did he grow something like a plant rhizome?"

"No, he just looks like a normal person."

"Is his body temperature lower than normal?"

"Yes."

The woman asked a long list of questions, and Tang Xue answered them in turn.

She didn't ask about the details of her life, but she asked a lot of questions about Kyungwon's appearance and behavior, and she seemed interested and kept holding a notebook to record it.

Tang Xue basically answered, for these things, she felt that there was no need to hide them.

After about ten minutes of interrogation, the woman picked up the "Xiao Yun'er Observation Diary" instead, opened it and watched it alone.

She held her little notebook, her eyes moving back and forth between the notes and the notebook.

After a long time, she raised her head and asked very solemnly, "Does he have the ability to sense infected people from far away?" If so, how far away can he perceive, and is this ability accurate? This is important, and you can hide everything else, but this is the only one thing I want you to answer me accurately. ”

"Why is this important?" Tang Xue frowned slightly.

"Because it's about his situation, and his identity in this 'Hel' settlement within the limits of Zhoushan City."

"Situation? Identity? ”

"Unless you encounter something unavoidable, I don't think you should be willing to travel to unknown places, the reason why you drove to the suburbs of the northwest and lit fireworks is because something happened, I guess, after the spring heats up, you encountered an inexplicable infection besieged, right?"

"That's true. But how did you deduce? ”

"Because his various behaviors and manifestations are too special, in my theory, I usually divide the 'Hel' infected body into three categories, one is the weak infected body, the organs and appearance of the weak infected body will not change much from before the infection, their physique will not be strengthened, and after the initial stage of infection, it will become the hotbed of 'Hel', resulting in different degrees of decay on the appearance, they will not take the initiative to attack the weak infected body around them, they have no thinking, and the most common is the zombies in the city.

The second type is the strong infective, the strong infect will not appear decay, their appearance usually changes greatly, in the physique will be greatly enhanced, at the same time will evolve acid, ultra-hearing and other special abilities, they will attack the same kind, need to eat regularly, strong infectives have the same thinking ability as beasts, have a certain intelligence, usually born in densely populated places, one of their birth conditions, is to ingest enough active factors in the early stage, so that the body' Hel' breeds to a certain order of magnitude.

The third and most special category is the HeLa infected, which is different from any strong and weak infected, HeLa is not bound by rules, they are themselves rules, a' Hel' settlement, there will only be one Hela, most of the time, HeLa is infected by women, I guess this has something to do with the structure of women's bodies, women have ovaries and uterus, and have the ability to conceive new life, but male Hela has also been observed, but the proportion is only 10% of all observed Hela.

As for how to determine the identity of HeLa infection, I have a set of standards, regardless of the city, HeLa has three unique characteristics, and as long as these three are confirmed, the identity of the HeLa infected person can be determined. ”

"Which three?"

"The first item is high intelligence, Hella has a strong ability to learn and think, they can quickly learn a new thing, even including words and language, Hela also has a kind of inheritance learning ability, by eating organisms, they can absorb each other's genes, instinctively learn the corresponding way of action, they devour the human brain, it seems that they can also ingest memory fragments, there is a record that a Hela infected body devours a taxi driver, imitates the driver's action pattern, driving in the city, And when someone waved, it stopped, dragged the passenger into the car and ate it. ”

"Where did you get this record?"

"Video from the Internet, the disaster did not suddenly break out together, about a month, the world was paralyzed, HSA's database, there are a lot of past network materials, we have spent half a year, sorting it out, creating a dedicated database."

"And what's the second item?"

"The second item is high combat effectiveness, Hella at the beginning of its birth, it has top-level combat effectiveness, and can even penetrate the armor of explosion-proof tanks, the current source of Hela's high combat effectiveness is still unknown, the 'Hel' in Hela's body is not born by consuming its own active factors, it seems to come from elsewhere."

"What about the third item?"

"Control ability, Hela has the ability to control a wide range of infected people, if Hela encounters a crisis, whether it is a weak infected body or a strong infected body, it will be controlled by it to come to support."

"So. What does this have to do with your question? ”

"The author of these two notes, he is an infected, but not any of the three infectors I have prescribed."

"Judging from this notebook, Hela in Zhoushan City should be this individual named 'Xiao Yun'er'." The woman picked up "Xiao Yun'er's Observation Diary": "Xiao Yun'er meets two of the three items, high intelligence and high combat effectiveness, and the third item is not shown in this notebook, but the first two can basically determine that she is Hela." ”

"I have doubts about the identity of the author of the note, he is also an infected, with high intelligence, and even retains the memory of the human period, living in a human way, the note vaguely mentions that he can perceive the location of the infected body in Zhoushan City, but he does not meet the high combat effectiveness of this article, and at the same time he is a male, he roughly fits one and a half of the three Hella infected bodies, which is a rather strange thing, there will only be one Hella in a city, but the situation in Zhoushan City is somewhat special, So I made several guesses about his identity and situation at the same time. ”

"The special situation of the state mountain city. Is it because of the army that once came? Tang Xue roughly understood what the woman meant, and her heart hung in the air.

"Yes, there is a reason why we chose Zhoushan City as the construction site for the research base, six years ago, a certain regime once organized an army to come to Zhoushan City, they brought a special biological weapon, they tried to use that thing against Hela, captured him alive, but in the end failed, they used biological weapons, but they had to use bombs to completely bomb Hela to death before leaving.

From what I know so far, I can deduce that the city's Hela was not originally the individual named 'Xiao Yun'er', she was newly born, the second Hela.

The author of the note has some of the characteristics of Hela, but it is much worse than the actual HeLa infected, and it is still a mystery why this is happening, but I immediately thought that you were besieged by the infected and had to flee in all directions.

Because in a settlement, two Helas will never be allowed to coexist, just like there can only be one queen bee in a hive, if so, then his situation will be very dangerous, this is not a random riot, it is for him, he will definitely die, there is no possibility of victory. ”
