Chapter 042
The large-scale casualties caused by the mutation of living corpses basically came from the earliest waves of mutations.
People in Xiandu thought it was typhoid poison at noon, but turned around and turned into corpse poison. Many people who were playing outside planned to go home to avoid the limelight after lunch, but they were eaten before they finished eating.
Already.
People in other cities in western Tianxia were still grabbing isatis roots and preparing to go home and support Xiandu on the Internet, but then they realized that there was no need to support them anymore. Living corpses had entered the city and they had to ask for help.
People in central Tianxia, watching TV after stocking up supplies, and surfing the Internet, are all paying close attention to the disaster in the west. They are debating whether it is the fault of the Alliance of Stars on the other side of the ocean, and discussing that the White Tiger Army in the Western Military Region has suppressed even living corpses.
Is it because of lack of training?
Just when the keyboard warriors expressed that the White Tiger Army was useless and suggested that the Qilin Army rush to the west to support them, they discovered that the living corpses had already arrived in the central part of the country. The keyboards that were usually used as weapons were of no use at all, and they could only deal with the living corpses stolen from their homes in a hurry.
At this time, the netizens in the east were dumbfounded. It was not yet dark, and dinner was not yet cooked, but the corpse poison spread from the west to the central part? Wouldn’t the eastern part soon follow in the footsteps of the central part?
Of course, after all, with enough reaction time, the situation in eastern Tianxia was still controllable, at least there was no large zombie wave.
But the central part is a mess, with some good and some bad. The western part is completely in ruins, and even three of the five districts in the center of Xiandu have been lost.
It's not that the Public Security Department is useless, but that the changes happened too quickly, and in addition, many people were turned into living corpses before they were bitten in the early days of the apocalypse, which caused a snowball to form a zombie wave.
For example, in the old city, 10% of the residents turned into living corpses. After killing 10% of the living people, 20% of the remaining 80% were frightened and turned into living corpses. These 30% of the living corpses rushed again, and the remaining 60% were alive.
People's mentality has also collapsed. Even if they don't turn into living corpses, they can only run away blindly.
And when living corpses wrap up living people and form a wave of corpses, ordinary security officers who usually control traffic and make mud have never seen this scene? In addition, the Sheriff's Department does not have many guns and ammunition, even if it takes out a small security pistol.
There is no way to control the tide of corpses.
It was not until the leading troops of the White Tiger Army arrived and machine guns washed the ground that the front was barely stabilized.
But stabilizing the rear of the front also means giving up outside the front. Because there is no obvious difference between living people and living corpses. Those who are alone are fine, but those who are trapped in the tide of corpses cannot be distinguished at all, and they are directly shot by machine guns.
The barrage was cleared together.
But the damn thing is, shooting at a living person who was obviously just being held hostage by the tide of corpses brought a lot of psychological pressure to the young soldiers in the vanguard. Not to mention this kind of scene with corpses everywhere and rivers of blood, it also
Many soldiers couldn't stand it.
It would be fine if all the soldiers were just nauseated and retched because of this, but a small group of soldiers, who were originally in good physical condition, turned into living corpses due to excessive mood swings and brain heat.
There comes an internal flowering.
Coupled with the limited ammunition carried by the leading troops, they could only barely hold the line, but were unable to enter the corpse-occupied area to control the situation. By the time the follow-up troops arrived, the number of survivors in the corpse-occupied area had dropped sharply, at least there were no longer any.
A large survivor stronghold with high rescue value, with only a few scattered survivors left.
On the second day, in addition to maintaining the front line, the White Tiger Army was busy clearing the living corpses in the area controlled by the position in a timely manner, while dispatching multiple small units to go deep into the corpse-occupied area for rescue.
As a result, the rescue team discovered that the living corpses were evolving, and from time to time they even encountered evolved bodies that were obviously different from ordinary living corpses.
It's okay to face ordinary living zombies, but when interviewing the evolved zombies, it's difficult to solve it quickly with only light guns. But once you use noisy firearms, it goes from sneaking to ruthless, and you can't go deep every time.
Not far away, we can only rescue some survivors on the edge of the corpse zone.
In short, the mass casualties basically come from the first day of the apocalypse, when zombies or living zombies suddenly steal homes. Many people are either bitten to death by living zombies, or they cease to be human.
On the second day, both the survivors who survived and the soldiers fighting on the front lines generally became numb when it came to escaping for their lives or killing people. Being numb and despairing, it is not easy to become a living corpse.
.
In other words, the number of new living corpses has dropped sharply. Although it is still a lot, at least the number of living corpses is not increasing exponentially.
At the same time, the living corpses are relatively calm.
Even if it is a living corpse locked in a room, as long as there are other people's corpses in the house, it will not make too much noise. After all, living corpses are more inclined to eat flesh and blood than attack people.
But it was only the second day.
And now, it is already the third day of the end of the world.
May 4, 4:04.
Wang Ye looked at the time and did not turn off the phone directly. Instead, while Lu Xueqiang and Ye Ling were listening to outside sounds, he clicked on the Tianxiaan app he had downloaded before.
There is an update package that was automatically downloaded from unknown time and asked whether to update and install it.
Wang Ye clicked on the installation, and then quickly entered Tianxiaan.
Compared with the first version that was hastily launched by the federation yesterday, it mainly added the account function. You can directly retrieve the ID code of the federation database, generate an account after authentication, and post and communicate in the forum. But now, the Internet is gone, and this new function is very important to Wang Ye.
It no longer makes any sense.
When he opened the forum, it was all blank. The information posts that were originally cached offline were put into the newly created library section. They can still be clicked and viewed, but it consumes electricity.
After exiting the app, Wang Ye turned off his phone and looked at Ye Ling.
At this time, Ye Ling looked thoughtful after listening to the sounds from the outside world for a while.
Wang Ye took advantage of the situation and said: "Regardless of the degree of evolution, currently living corpses are actually divided into two categories, one is the trapped living corpses that are locked in the house, and the other is the wandering living corpses wandering around outside.
It's hard to say in a big city, but in our small county, there is usually more than one person in the house. In other words, at the beginning of the apocalypse, most of the trapped zombies still have food rations, even if they are locked in the house.
.”
"But now it's summer, the weather is getting hotter, and the corpse will stink and start to rot if left for more than a day. In addition, the living corpse has a good appetite and eats quickly, so it is estimated that it will only last a day or two at most, that is, until early this morning.
And the trapped living corpses who have eaten their rations will no longer be able to live peacefully in the house, and will inevitably start to make a fuss."
"As for the wandering zombies, after wandering around for a day or two, they should have almost finished catching those survivors who may have been trapped in companies, hotels, etc., because they had no food and could not live in peace of mind, so they had to risk their lives to break out. In order to replenish energy
, the wandering zombies will inevitably become more restless."
"If corpse voodoo is just a disease voodoo that mutates from nature, in this case, as long as the survivors stay alive and don't go out, I think there is a high probability that the living corpses will start killing each other and change their feeding targets to each other." Wang Ye
He sighed, "But unfortunately, corpse poison is not a natural mutation, but a genetic medicine that allows living corpses to evolve ventral brains."
He thought that before he encountered the motorcycle team in Tangjiagou, Qingyi Town, the living corpses there had already known that they had divided their forces to surround the houses, and initially formed a relatively dispersed hunting team.
Although no evolved bodies were detected in Tangjiagou at that time, this was not good news. Because it meant that some living corpses with good talents had already developed preliminary hunting intelligence without evolving into evolved bodies, and
Being able to command and move other living zombies - even if it is not a command, just a simple influence, it is worthy of attention.
Moreover, the number of ordinary living zombies that evolve toward hunting intelligence is definitely greater than the evolved zombies, which means they are more popular among the living zombies.
Today is the third day of the apocalypse, and it is also the first day that the living zombies, after digesting the first wave of human (shi) oral (ti) bonuses, begin to launch an active attack on the survivors.
Listening to Wang Ye analyzing the situation, the dining room was extremely quiet, with only the noise from the outside coming from time to time.
Wang Ye walked from the dining room to the living room, looked out at the dark night that never seemed to wait for dawn, and suddenly made a decision: "After daybreak, Ye Ling, you and Xue Qiang go out and collect supplies around the community. First,
Remove all the batteries from those trams. Then, in the afternoon, you can wait until I finish my work here, then we can go out together and try to get a big car back."
Ye Ling's eyes seemed to be shining. "I promise to complete the task." She picked up the fruit knife from the living room table and said with a smile, "But brother, what are you going to do if you don't come with us this morning?"
"I'm going out from here." Wang Ye looked at the door of his house that was blocked by the washing machine. "I'm going to clean up the living corpses upstairs. At least make sure that when we transfer supplies later, no living corpses will jump down from upstairs.
It fell outside on the balcony."
The balcony of Wang Ye's house is actually sandwiched between two unit buildings. It is just the second floor of another unit building. The owner's family is abroad all year round, so Wang Ye's family is the only one who uses this balcony and even transforms it into
The vegetable garden.
However, some of the residents upstairs in the two buildings who do not have anti-theft bars can actually jump down from the upstairs and onto the balcony.
If you want to drive a large truck to the street under the balcony, and then carry supplies up and down, there will definitely be a lot of noise. In order to completely eliminate future troubles, Wang Ye is going to make a trip first and check from house to house. If there are living corpses in the house, he will break down the door.
Enter and destroy the living corpse.
"By the way, Xueqiang, can you drive a big car?" Wang Ye suddenly looked at Lu Xueqiang.
Lu Xueqiang nodded quickly: "I know how to drive it. I have driven it at home before, but my driver's license is only for small cars."
He actually wanted to ask at first, wouldn't he be afraid of attracting living corpses if he smashed the car and removed the battery? But when he saw Ye Ling's smiling face, Lu Xueqiang's heart trembled: This girl, looking at Wen Wenjingjing, how can she be more murderous than the king?
Ye is still heavy.
That is to say, Wang Ye didn't know the doubts in Lu Xueqiang's heart, otherwise he would definitely laugh. Back then, Wang Ye bought two copies of Master Chen's Unlimited Fighting Technique, but he threw them directly on the dormitory bookcase without even looking at them. Ye Ling, however
I read the book back and forth several times, and even wanted to try Wang Ye's moves several times.
"Okay, let's arrange it like this. I'll go clean up the trouble first, and you can dismantle the batteries nearby. After lunch, we'll go out to look for a big car together. Finally, depending on the situation, we can decide whether to run to the countryside overnight or go to the countryside overnight.
Let’s leave again tomorrow.”
