Volume 2 Corpse Transformation Wu Chu Chapter 142 Shouchun's "Years Are Quiet"
The public loss class glanced at the public loss solid, and the public loss solid immediately stepped forward and said: "Hui Gongzi, there have been three waves of zombies in the past few days, but they are all scarce. The first wave of twelve, when only one trench was dug, attacked the civilians sleeping outside, and after the civilians screamed, they attracted the army, and finally all of them were burned.
The second wave of twenty-five men crashed into the wooden wall of the fifth section on the west side, and was discovered by the troops stationed on the wooden wall, and then all of them were burned. The third wave of seven heads, Mr. Ouyang met when he returned to the city......"
Gong Zheng said, revealing a strange expression, as if there was something unspeakable, and he wanted to stop talking.
"Have you met Mr. Ouyang?" Xiong Zhong nodded.
If it was Ouyang, then there shouldn't be too much to worry about, after all, it was a fierce man who tore the black bear by hand.
But as soon as he turned around and saw Gong Yigu's tangled expression, he suddenly became a little unconfident.
"If you have any questions, please say it directly, here are all trustworthy companions and comrades-in-arms, whether it is good or bad, we can listen. Xiong Zhong urged.
"Uh...... I can't say whether it's good or bad, it's just this thing, it's too surprising. Gong Yigu touched the hilt of his sword, and said in a strange tone, "Those zombies, after encountering Mr. Ouyang, were all tied up by Mr. Ouyang with ropes and brought back to the city. β
"All bundled...... Bring it all back?!Bring it back?!!!" Xiong Zhongleng paused, and didn't react for a while.
It seemed that the public loss class also heard the news for the first time, and frowned and asked, "When those zombies were brought back, were they dead or alive?" β
"It's alive, I've seen it just now, grinning and squirming, and becoming extremely excited whenever a living person approaches, wanting to eat people. Gong Zhenggu explained, "But it was tied up by the chain prepared by Mr. Ouyang." β
"Why was Mr. Ouyang so careless, putting such a monster in, in case something happened......
Xiong Zhong's expression was a little anxious, and he pulled out a torch from the wooden wall, looking at the posture as if he was preparing to go to Ouyang and want to burn those zombies.
"Don't worry. The public loser stretched out to stop Xiongzhong, "Ouyang has a strong purpose in everything he does, and he definitely has his own considerations for bringing the live zombies back. β
As he spoke, the public loser looked at the public loser: "Has he said the reason?"
Gongsun Gu explained: "Mr. Ouyang said that only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one survive a hundred battles. So he used all kinds of strange potions on these zombies, including garlic, salt water, vinegar and other mixed potions, and tried them one by one to see how the zombies reacted to these things, so as to find a way to restrain them. β
Xiong Zhong and the public loss squad glanced at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.
"In the end, it was an old protΓ©gΓ©, who was not afraid at all in the face of such a terrifying zombie, but regarded it as an ordinary patient...... This courage alone is beyond my reach. The public loser class let out a sigh of emotion, and then smiled self-deprecatingly,
"I'm ashamed that I saw that he knew so much about this zombie, and I suspected that he was behind this disaster. But now, it seems that he must have been like this at the beginning, and he was able to understand this way after studying countless living beings. β
"Mr. Ouyang...... He is really a great sage. Xiong Zhong sighed, and then looked at Gong Zheng, "Where is Mr. Ouyang studying those zombies now, if you can, can you let someone help?"
Gong Zhigu pointed to the wooden wall in the northeast corner and said, "It's in the dungeon there." Mr. Ouyang was afraid that the zombies would break free from the chains, and he was also worried that the sunlight would have too much impact on the zombies, so he was in the dungeon. If anything, just open the cell door and the zombies will be buried in the ground. Even if it is not sealed, it is difficult for zombies to climb the stairs. β
Gongsun Gu said, glanced at Xiong Zhong with great interest and said, "He said that it is best not to enter the rest of the people except him, because those zombies seem to have evolved and become stronger." Except for himself, no one else in the entire Jumuyi may not be able to survive at the hands of such a monster. β
"Yes, that kind of monster is indeed something that only Mr. Ouyang can deal with directly. Xiong Zhong nodded helplessly, then cheered up again, looked at the open space under the wooden wall with burning eyes and said,
"Since Mr. Ouyang is trying to find a way to crack it, then we can't just be idle. In the following time, the teacher will divide the 10,000 young men into five groups, each group of 2,000 people, and take turns to practice them, what does the teacher think?"
The public loser class nodded with satisfaction and said one word:
"Good. β
....................................
In the dungeon, "Mr. Ouyang", who everyone was talking about, was actually not trying to destroy this monster, but was conducting an extremely bloody dissection on it.
No...... Strictly speaking, it's not bloody, it's just a little oozing to look at.
In the iron cage in the corner of the wall, there were three zombies tightly bound by chains, and on the floor outside the iron cage, there were various stumps and broken arms.
In order to prevent the parasite from escaping from burrowing in the dirt, Ouyang deliberately transformed the entire dungeon, laying a whole huge marble on the floor, and laying a stone wall of stone on the surrounding walls.
There were no torches in the dungeon, and there was no glimmer of light, so DeoΔisis directly revealed his body and used flash magic to illuminate the entire dungeon.
"Tsk, these limbs, as long as they are cut off, they will wither instantly, as if there is an invisible flame burning, let alone samples, even blood can't be left, it's really troublesome. β
Ouyang frowned, two days and two nights, he had dissected four zombies, and he had exhausted all his good patience.
In this way, you can't even take out a sample, and after leaving the body, the activity of the flesh and blood disappears directly, so you can't talk about how to study it.
"This state is similar to how some fungi grow on rainy days and die when the rain stops, making it almost impossible to see living organisms. β
Deochisis looked at the dead limbs on the ground, stretched out his tentacles again, picked up the unusually wilting parasite fungus on the ground, and carefully examined it: "Why don't you just swallow the whole zombie and try it?" Let it be analyzed directly in my body. β
"It's useless, most of them will die directly. Ouyang shook his head, "This guy has evolved too fast. In order to prevent direct targeting by humans, insects have evolved to protect their genes in the form of self-destruction.
This kind of selective evolutionary intelligence is absolutely impossible for a natural species to do, and there is definitely someone who guides it in genetic evolution. β
Deochis's tentacles swallowed the parasite whole, nodded and said, "There are indeed similar genetic instructions, but ......"
"But what?" Ouyang Zheng used a broom to sweep his dry limbs into the dustpan, and it was directly shattered with just a light touch, and he raised his head a little strangely.
"But there's also some kind of genetic lock that stifles overevolution. Deochisis explained using his tentacles to mimic the pattern of genes, "This feeling seems to have been deliberately set up to prevent it from evolving too quickly, as if it was intended to protect them." β
In other words, the one who guided the evolution of parasitic bacteria actually couldn't carefully regulate the evolution of these parasites. Ouyang finished cleaning the dungeon, looked at the unusually languishing zombies in the iron cage and said, "It's like a very fast sports car, in order to rush off the track when cornering, a brake device was specially added." β
Deochisis added: "And the steering wheel of this car is not necessarily good, at least this one has no confidence in his driving skills. β
"This is really good news......" Ouyang looked at the zombies in the iron cage who were struggling with perseverance, and showed a meaningful smile.
................................................
Shouchun, known by the outside world as the source of the plague that swept the entire Chu State, is now in a strange state of "quiet years".
Except for the occasional farmer who went out to farm and was attacked by sporadic zombies, even the edict from Yingdu did not break the peace.
The main reason is that Shouchun no longer has the nobles who can fight against Fan Li, especially after the "Four Heavenly Kings of Shennongjian", Li Er, Sun Wu, Changsangjun, and Xue Zhu entered it, announcing that Shouchun was completely under Fan Li's control.
"If it goes well, in another ten days, the walls of these outer cities will be completely connected. Sun Wu looked at a drawing drawn on parchment and said to Li Er beside him, "At that time, no matter how powerful those monsters are, they can only raise their heads and be burned by the fire oil on the city wall." β
Shouchun City, as the second largest city in the Chu State, with the surrounding farmland, has a total area much larger than that of Jumuyi, but Fan Li did not include all the surrounding farmland into the scope of the outer city like the public loss class.
First, because the yield of fertile land around Shouchun City is extremely high, and Changsangjun adds a buff on the side, even if there are only these products within the wall, it is more than enough to feed the 500,000 people in Shouchun City.
The second reason is that he doesn't have so many stones.
Yes, compared to a small city like Jumuyi, Fan Li is more atmospheric and courageous, and he has mined a lot of stones from the stone mountain not far from Shouchun to build a section of the outer city wall.
As for what to do with the farmland outside the outer city, Fan Li proposed to build a circle of wooden walls similar to Jumuyi, and a stone blockhouse.
The bunker is almost four meters high, and the interior is climbed with ladders.
In this way, they can farm in the fields during the day and rest in the bunker at night.
The wooden wall can prevent zombies from straying into the farmland at night, and during the harvest, you just need to hurry up and harvest the grain during the day.
Between the bunkers and the bunkers, you can use beacon fire to communicate, and at the foot of the outer city walls there is always a team of soldiers ready just in case.
"What a peaceful life...... Li Er couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the lush wheat seedlings in the farmland.
