"... They are all very stupid!" After struggling all afternoon, he was already very tired, but when he mentioned fighting monsters, Zhang Ke immediately became energetic. This is a boy, whose nature is filled with the gene of killing.

"I have counted that 16 of the 29 zombies have bite marks and fingernail scratches on their bodies. The wounds are very deep and there are obvious signs of struggle. So the question is, who will bite them?

?”

"Dogs and cats?" Zhang Ke immediately gave the answer. When cleaning the yard, he found two families with dogs and one with cats. The cats were not found, but the dogs were all in the house. Unfortunately, Hong Tao didn't let any of them go.

He brought them back and killed them, which made Zhang Ke very dissatisfied because he liked small animals.

"Exactly not the case. In homes with cats and dogs, there are no wounds on the zombies!"

"...It can't be a more advanced zombie! I said it this morning, zombies can evolve, and they must have cores in their bodies... Oops..." No matter how precocious Zhang Ke is, he is still a child after all, and his ideas are easily confused.

I was biased and liked to make blind associations. As a result, I got slapped on the head as soon as I mentioned the word "kernel".

"It is very possible that these 16 people did not mutate at first, but were bitten by their mutated relatives while they were sleeping. They could not break free until they mutated. If this hypothesis is true, guess what? After being bitten,

The mutation speed is very fast, that’s why I didn’t hear anyone shouting for help in the middle of the night. If you can’t run away, call the headquarters!”

In fact, no matter how Zhang Ke answered Hong Tao, he was talking to himself. He took the opportunity of chatting and asking questions to go through the ideas in his mind and see if he could deduce any results.

"Seal your throat when you see blood!" Zhang Ke agreed with this inference and added another word.

"Then the question is, how do these zombies obtain energy? That is, what they eat. Have you ever found a corpse that was eaten? No. In other words, they have not eaten a corpse in more than a day."

Why bother trying to prove that zombie bites can be contagious? Hong Tao's purpose is not here, but to prove another issue.

In his opinion, it must be a disease for people to become zombies, and a disease should have a cause. But whether it is infected by a virus or bacteria, if you want to move, you need energy. People, animals, and insects all rely on eating to get their energy.

Energy, so how do zombies absorb energy?

If we understand this problem, we can basically determine the nature of the virus, and then find the most effective way to eliminate zombies. If we go further, we may also be able to discover treatment and prevention methods.

"..." Zhang Ke was silent now. No matter how smart his little brain was, he couldn't keep up with the cunning and calculating Hong Tao, so he was stopped by the question.

"Are you stupid? Have you ever seen any movies or novels that mentioned that zombies have other ways to survive besides eating people?"

It's okay if he can't answer it, but Hong Tao still hopes that Zhang Ke can remind him of his whims. Sometimes, scientific research is just an accidental sentence or idea, and adults may not be able to completely crush children in this regard.

"Maybe they're not hungry..." Unfortunately, Zhang Ke didn't provide any new ideas and was still struggling with the issue of whether zombies can eat humans.

"The next time I kill zombies, I will dissect one for you and you won't talk back. The blood of those guys has coagulated, and no replacement body fluids have been found. If you still rely on the original digestion

How can the system absorb energy without blood circulation? This makes no sense. I think the most reliable ones are two possibilities. First, the source of infection such as viruses or bacteria is parasitic in

In the brain and nervous system, they feed themselves by decomposing and absorbing the human body. If this is the case, that is good news for us. Wait patiently, they will starve themselves to death sooner or later, and then we will not have to worry. This day will not happen yet.

Too long!"

In fact, Hong Tao has already dissected several animals. Although he didn't examine each organ carefully, and he didn't understand anatomy or pathology, he could still gain something from simple logical reasoning.

"What's another possibility?" Zhang Ke was very interested in this knowledge and listened very carefully.

"The other possibility is more tragic. These viruses or bacteria may be creatures we have never seen before, and they do not need to eat to absorb energy. They may be able to combine certain substances from the air, or use the earth's magnetic field

Something like that. If that's the case, we're afraid we'll have to fight a protracted war. Whether we can win it in this life is a question. And if time goes by, it can really evolve, and even infect animals... If the streets are full of mutants

Wild cats, wild dogs, and groups of mutated rats! It's scary, scary... Hey, I can make a deal with you two, if that really happens, we have to move to a high-rise building, maybe we'll have to fight our way out.

When the time comes, whoever can keep up and whoever has the ability to protect himself will have a greater chance of living, otherwise he will basically be waiting to die!"

Hong Tao has never been very good at praising others, and every good thing he says will be discounted. But he is best at saying bad things, and they are only worse, not the worst, so they can scare people as much as they want.

"...I'm going to practice flying stone rope!" Zhang Ke was the first to take action. He stopped reading the diary and stopped asking questions.

"...I need a weapon. Without a weapon, how do you know I can't protect myself!" Chuqiu stood at the door of the kitchen, making porridge while listening to the conversation between the two men. The more he listened, the more uncomfortable he became, so he bit his lip and thought.

After a while, he took the initiative to make a request for improvement.

"Weapons are easy to handle, but they are useless if you don't have the strength. Get up early tomorrow. There are treadmills and rowing machines left behind by the previous tenants in the east room. It's just right for each person to practice on one. When can we run three kilometers in one breath, we can talk about other things.

, If you can't even run away, giving you a submachine gun is useless!" Hong Tao really didn't mean to scare people, but he didn't mind using the atmosphere to force Chu Qiu and Zhang Ke to exercise more.

The two of them sit in the sales office all day long, and the other lies on the desk. They are both extremely sub-healthy and lack exercise. Let alone muscles, they can significantly improve their cardiopulmonary function.

very nice.

After dinner, the three of them moved out like hamsters again. This time the target was the gas tanks in Courtyard No. 52, a total of 10. Although they were all medium-sized tanks of 15 kilograms, they were still very precious. In two months

Winter is coming, and we will have to rely on them to keep us warm. We can live without electricity in the small yard, but without a gas tank, we will be frozen.

In addition to working, you can also take a shower. When cleaning up during the day, Hong Tao took a look and saw that two households were using solar water heaters. This thing can produce water without water pressure. It is a good idea to take a hot shower after a tiring day.

It's still quite necessary.

Before the disaster struck, Hong Tao would stay up until around 11pm every night before going to bed. He would watch TV, play games, read books, and mess around with tools and radios. Anyway, he couldn't fall asleep without using up some of his energy. It was still like this yesterday.

But after a long day of hard work and a hot shower, my eyelids started to fight as soon as I leaned on the sofa, and even the haircut for Chu Qiu was postponed until tomorrow.

"Let's make do with it, kid. We have to sleep separately, so that if one of us mutates, the others will still have a chance to live, understand?" But there is one thing we must not be careless about, and that is the prevention of mutations.

Hong Tao had tasted the feeling of sleeping with handcuffs more than once in the detention room of the police station. It was very uncomfortable, so he did not want to cuff Chu Qiu and Zhang Ke anymore. The alternative was to let Chu Qiu sleep in the bedroom and Zhang Ke go to the study.

I made do with bunk beds and continued to occupy the sofa in the living room.

In fact, Hong Tao was playing tricks again. Neither the bedroom nor the study room had direct access to the courtyard, and the living room was the most convenient place to enter and exit. If these two people really mutated, he could just lift his legs and run away.

In order to be safer, he also found three hiking bags, one large, two small, and stuffed them with mountain fast food, mineral water, magnesium rods, first aid kit, strong light flashlight, multifunctional knife, climbing rope and rainproof cloth.

One copy of the emergency plan for each person.
