Chapter 8 Serum

()

Nicole was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jill shook his head: "What kind of person do you think can kill four zombies in seconds? Just use one knife? I think his movements are faster than zombies."

Seeing Nicole's puzzled look, Jill reminded her: "How many people were there in the fully armed National Guard we saw in Anchorage? They didn't even kill a zombie."

Nicole frowned and said, "I suspect that the body's tolerance will increase after zombies mutation. It will take a certain amount of time to reveal the damage to the body. Therefore, unless the bullet hits their heads or hearts, the effect will not be obvious. Ye's knife is very suitable for bloodletting. Zombies' blood loss is fast, and they can stop working due to ischemia in a very short time. Therefore, the National Guard we saw was not as good as Ye, and it should be related to the choice of weapons."

"Okay." Hearing Nicole's words, Jill was a little discouraged. Nicole said it was not unreasonable. The National Guard generally used the m-gun clan. The 5.56mm warhead had good penetration at close range, but the stopping effect was insufficient, and the wound area was not large. Unless it happened to hit the artery, it was difficult to cause a lot of blood loss. For zombies with a half-beat slower nerves, the effect was obviously not as direct as the saber. However, Nicole was not a combatant. She didn't know how terrible Ye Zhiqiu's sword technique was. It was born to kill people, without any fancyness. So she said again: "So let's change the point. Do you think ordinary people can have the skills like him?"

This time Nicole hesitated, but soon she raised her head and smiled, "He is a Chinese. Don't Chinese know how to do kung fu?"

Jill patted his head. It seemed that she was trying to support Ye Zhiqiu wholeheartedly, so she decided to give up and turned around and said, "Okay, where is your hero now?"

Nicole didn't know where Ye Zhiqiu had gone, but this did not delay them finding him, because Ye Zhiqiu was making a loud noise at this time. He guessed that the town's tap water system had been paralyzed, so he found a well. In fact, the smaller the place, the easier it was to find such necessary equipment for life, because local residents had to find a way to solve it.

Following the sound of water, Jill and Nicole couldn't help but feel a little envious when they saw Ye Zhiqiu standing on the ground taking off and taking a shower. Jill sighed and said, "I haven't taken a shower for at least two months."

Nicole said, "You better not expect to be like him. The temperature is only three or four degrees at most, and you will definitely catch a cold."

No matter what reason was used, the two of them were embarrassed to stand aside and watch Ye Zhiqiu take a bath. Even if he didn't object, they wouldn't do it, so the two of them quickly turned around and walked away. Ye Zhiqiu originally wanted to rinse the blood on his body, but without hot water, the blood stains were difficult to clean. As a result, he became happier and happier as he rubbed it, and it took him an entire hour.

Wearing jeans and shirts found from the convenience store, when Ye Zhiqiu appeared again, Nicole had prepared lunch, while Jill was putting the things picked out from the convenience store in different categories. Seeing Ye Zhiqiu coming, she spread her hands and said, "We need a big cart."

"Do you want to take this store away?" Ye Zhiqiu was a little surprised.

"Do you think we often encounter such opportunities?" Jill asked back. Six months after the disaster, food and energy problems have begun to appear. Jill and Nicole have seen many surviving humans fighting for living materials.

Ye Zhiqiu also thought this was a problem, so the three of them decided to go to the town's house in the afternoon to collect some weapons, and it would be better to find a large vehicle.

Ye Zhiqiu asked while applying butter to his bread: "You'd better choose a room with sunshine. No one knows if there are any zombies in the town."

Nicole nodded in agreement: "It is not clear about the transmission route and mechanism of this virus. What can be confirmed is that blood contact will definitely be one of the transmission routes." Speaking of this, she looked at Ye Zhiqiu. Yesterday she saw zombies' blood flowing into his wounds with her own eyes, but Ye Zhiqiu showed no signs of illness at all, which made her doubt her judgment.

When Ye Zhiqiu saw her looking at him, she immediately understood what she meant and nodded, "So what happened to the initial large-scale disease?"

Nicole nodded: "I have a preliminary idea that this is a virus that can be transmitted from the air, otherwise it will not be possible to explain the sudden and large-scale outbreak at the beginning. In addition, I suspect that this virus will have a period of incubation when it is transmitted through the air, but it will become ill almost immediately after contact with blood."

The other two people remembered their past experiences and nodded. Jill frowned and said, "If it is airborne, why didn't we get sick? Is our incubation period particularly long?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to say," Nicole said. "It's been six months now. Although there are many viruses that have a longer incubation period than this period, I personally think that we don't have an incubation period because of the incubation period, but because we have antibodies, and we are immune to this virus."

"It's so great." Jill glanced at Ye Zhiqiu and clapped his hands. Like Nicole, she had been worried that Ye Zhiqiu would be infected. At first, she didn't want to be with a potential zombie, but now she didn't want to lose a strong partner: "So we don't have to worry about being infected?"

Nicole shook her head: "Remember those people we met two months ago? They were attacked by a zombie, and two people died, and one of them became a zombie."

Jill thought for a while and asked carefully: "Do you think the antibodies in our bodies can only resist airborne viruses?"

"At least we can only think so until there is no definite conclusion." Nicole glanced at Ye Zhiqiu and replied.

Ye Zhiqiu was so uncomfortable that he looked at him from the left and right, so he had to protest: "You said zombies, why do you always look at me?"

Jill smiled and looked away. Nicole looked at Ye Zhiqiu solemnly: "I can be sure you have been infected with the virus on the zombie, but judging from your situation, you are likely to be completely immune to this virus."

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, but Jill looked like a policeman and he was not surprised by this statement. He nodded: "I like this idea."

Nicole shook her head: "This is just a guess, I don't recommend you try it."

"Don't worry." Ye Zhiqiu smiled: "Even if I'm not afraid of infection, I'm not interested in being bitten by them." After saying that, he suddenly asked unnaturally: "If this is true, do you think antiviral serum can be isolated from my blood?"
