Chapter 23 Gunshots
On the third floor of Hotpot City, the same floor beside the window, the two people's verbal communication sounded from time to time.
Kang Zixuan: "Another pack of big ingredients!"
Chen Ziqing: "Sister, it's already very hot!"
Kang Zixuan: "It's not spicy enough!"
Chen Ziqing: "Can you eat it? It's been fifteen seconds?"
Kang Zixuan: "I'm waiting for five seconds."
...
The meal lasted for an hour. There were no less than dozens of discarded food pockets on the ground behind them, and countless dishes were served.
Kang Zixuan's face was so spicy that her face turned red, and she was still eating.
Chen Ziqing counted and had poured the seventh bag of large ingredients for the school beauty.
The so-called large ingredients are hot pot base ingredients that blend butter and red pepper. After putting them in the pot, use a colander to scoop out the red peppers. All the spicy flavors are left in the soup. I don’t know how delicious it is.
"Add soup, add soup, hurry up."
...
Who would have thought that the virus outbreak was in full swing, and ten days later, the spicy smell of hot pot was actually floating in the dead city of Miandu.
…
Zhao Ziqiao thought his sense of smell was confused. In the city under the outbreak, how could there be the fragrance of hot pot in addition to the strong bloody smell and rotten smell?
Could it be that survivors are eating hot pot?
Zhao Ziqiao thought to himself that he was one of the small teams sent by the Seventh Army to rescue trapped survivors in Miandu City, with the code name Ninth.
The Ninth Team, the rescue mission of this trip to the city was to find Professor Sun's family in the Department of Chemistry of the University of Science and Technology and take them to evacuate safely.
Professor Sun's family of five had found them and was about to take them out of the city. A scent of hot pot came...
"Did you smell it?" Zhao Ziqiao raised his hand into a fist and made a military order gesture to pause his movement.
"What do you smell?" asked a soldier.
"The smell of hot pot." Zhao Ziqiao's eyes were always on guard. The Mian City has become very strange. There are no signs of infected corpses on the streets and in buildings.
You should know that the population of Miandu is close to one million, and there are only less than one hundred thousand survivors who have withdrawn from the city.
Among the remaining people, the proportion of survivors is only a small number, and the vast majority of people are infected by the virus and become corrupt.
However, now, in such a huge city, there is no sign of a corpse infected by a virus. How can it not be touching and amazing?
Zhao Ziqiao had seen those infected corpses a few days ago. They were slow to move, stiff limbs, and their only remaining consciousness was just a desire for human flesh and blood.
He didn't believe that these infected corpses would disappear for no reason, and there must be an invisible hand behind them that is manipulating them.
And the hand that can easily manipulate hundreds of thousands of infected corpses is bound to be very terrible.
Zhao Ziqiao believed in this.
"It's the taste of hot pot, spicy and fragrant." A soldier made a mouth-watering sound, "It's the taste of the old Chen family, I've been there before."
"Captain, then do we have to go over and take a look?"
Zhao Ziqiao looked at Professor Sun from the University of Science and Technology. This was the primary protection object of the task.
Professor Sun is over 60 years old, with half a head of white hair and wrinkled face, and there are many age spots, but his eyes are still clear.
"If you can save one, you have died in the past few days." Professor Sun gave Zhao Zhiqiao an answer.
"Captain, then I'll go ahead and lead the way." The soldier who said the smell of Old Chen's family immediately shouted in full spirit: "Maybe we can catch a hot pot."
After hearing Professor Sun's opinion, Zhao Ziqiao immediately relaxed his eyebrows. He didn't expect the hot pot from the Chen family. He was concerned about the survivors who were still alive in Miandu. Just as Professor Sun said, there were already many dead people, and one could save one.
"Pay attention to the surrounding situation and set off." Zhao Ziqiao ordered.
However, a group of ten people who had just stepped out less than five meters suddenly heard several low wailing sounds coming from the street behind them.
Zhao Ziqiao turned around and looked back with his brows on his face. He couldn't help but frown. In the past few days, the corpse-infected person he had been infected with had appeared at this moment!
"Prepare to open fire." Zhao Ziqiao ordered on the spot, he raised his gun and aimed at one of the infected corpse who was slowly walking towards him with his body shaking...
...
"Have you noticed that this city suddenly became much deserted?" Chen Ziqing ate a piece of freshly burned tripe, looked out the window, and said inexplicably.
Kang Zixuan had no intention of looking up at all. At this moment, she completely ignored her pure lady image and kept eating.
"Well, where are the zombies going?" she asked, swallowing the crispy enoki mushrooms.
"Will it be cleared by the military?" Chen Ziqing immediately shook his head and denied himself: "Why can there be no gunshot after clearing it?"
Bang!
The gunshot suddenly rang out, just as Chen Ziqing denied himself.
This is a bit coincidental!
He was shocked and immediately looked at the place where the gunshot came from.
Five fully armed soldiers were seen retreating and firing. Each soldier followed a civilian, as if they were the object of protection.
At the end of the line of fire, a group of E-level mid- and late-stage zombies are launching a crazy pounce.
If the bullets do not hit the head, they just stop the body (the bullet will have an impact force when it hits the body), and continue to move forward.
"Why are there so many mid- and late zombies?" Chen Ziqing was shocked. He saw the upgrade process of zombies in the information that Long Jianqi sent him, as well as in the assimilation memory of Dr. Akan.
Humans who are infected with viruses until death will be resurrected and will be early zombies.
Only by swallowing at least three early stage zombies of human flesh and blood can they become mid-stage zombies.
After the middle stage, at least ten living people need to be swallowed by zombies in the late stage.
Because the gene elements in humans are different, if virus derivatives want to evolve and repair the cost source structure, they need to use different gene vectors as the basis.
After gaining a deep understanding of the Nirvana virus, Chen Ziqing divided the levels based on his understanding.
His understanding is to use the number of virus origin structures to clarify, just like there is only one structure in the early stage, two in the middle stage, and three in the late stage, and he is in the midst stage, so he has eight virus origin structures in the body, and naturally nine in the late stage. As for B level, if you speculate, it should be a complete black fog virus.
However, with the ability of the early stage zombies, it is difficult for them to eat three people in a short time, so at this moment, there are so many mid- and late stage zombies, which naturally surprised Chen Ziqing.
"There are too many people eating, and they will naturally be upgraded." Kang Zixuan put down her bowls and chopsticks at this moment, stood in front of the window, and answered Chen Ziqing's questions, she jumped, at the height of three floors, jumped as soon as she said she could, without blinking her eyelids.
The school beauty zombie's body fell rapidly, and her long black hair swinging upwards made Chen Ziqing slightly stunned, and she couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be so impatient, right?"
Following closely behind, Chen Ziqing also jumped...
After landing, Kang Zixuan was seen standing on the roof of a car with a crossbow arrow in her hand in the shape of a bow.
The string is pulled like a full moon, and the arrow is on the string.
Chen Ziqing walked to Kang Zixuan, raised his hand and he pulled out a melee technology arrow and took it in his hand.
Whoosh!
The arrow flew out, and Chen Ziqing accelerated toward the battlefield not far away.
Chapter completed!
