I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 80: Zombie mutation

Views:

As if in an instant, the white clouds outside the window were replaced by turbid radioactive dust, the smooth walls were covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and the wooden doors and windows "began to wither"...

It's as if the style of painting suddenly changed.

The soft touch on the back is still there, but it's on the "other side" now.

And this is his room in the villa in the last days.

Sitting up from the bed, Jiang Chen glanced at the clean and tidy bed under him, and couldn't help but smile.

Not a speck of dust. Although I don’t know if it’s Yao Yao or Sun Jiao, it’s obvious that someone takes care of it every day.

Jiang Chen picked up the leaning K2000 from the corner and held it in his hand for a long time. In the room, this gun was the only one covered with a little dust. Picking up a rag and wiping it casually, he threw it into the storage space.

Pushing open the door, there was a soft creaking sound from the corner of the door. He walked quietly to Sun Jiao's room in order to give the person he had not seen for a long time a surprise kiss.

Exclaiming with joy and hugging each other after a long absence, feeling the pounding heartbeat, Jiang Chen smiled evilly and hugged the coquettish Sun Jiao, and then went with her to the outer circle that was being expanded.

Stepping on the bluestone road in front of the main building of the villa, he always felt an unspeakable joy in his heart.

Just like a feudal lord in the Middle Ages, the villa is his castle, and those who work diligently outside the castle are his people. Sun Jiao standing next to him is the mistress of the castle, and Yao Yao in the villa ... ... Well, let’s talk about Yao Yao later.

Standing here before, he could only smell the depressing smell in the air, but now he felt relaxed.

There is no conspiracy, and there is no need to speculate on people's hearts. After all, everyone's heart rate is marked on his or her E. If it weren't for the troublesome implantation surgery and the lack of relevant equipment, he would really like to get a set of slave chips and use them in this world.

But when he pushed open the door of the villa, he was stunned.

"Uh, why did the expansion project stop?" Jiang Chen looked at Sun Jiao beside him and asked with a wry smile.

Building materials were piled up on vacant land, and the expansion of the base came to a complete standstill.

"The zombies outside have been a little strange recently." Sun Jiao looked a little solemnly and led Jiang Chen to the high cement tower beside the wall.

Jiang Chen looked in the direction Sun Jiao pointed, and a look of shock gradually appeared on his face.

"These zombies—"

"That's right, it's like taking medicine every day." Sun Jiao picked up a stone and threw it outside.

The stone hit the roof of a car with a "duang!" sound, and the zombies nearby immediately rushed toward the car, screaming, as if they had been drugged. The car door deformed under the squeeze of the corpses, and dirty hands randomly punched through the car windows and flipped up the hood...

After a while, the zombies realized that there were no living things here, so they gradually dispersed.

It's daytime!

"What the hell, can you still go out?" Jiang Chen looked at those lunatics with a wry smile.

At this moment, these zombies feel a little like those in the movie "Resident Evil". Those pairs of sharp and bloody pupils seemed to be telling: As long as a living creature dared to appear in front of them, they would swarm up and tear it into pieces.

In other words, worse than that

"The unknown bacterial indicators in the air have increased. Perhaps it was this unknown bacteria that caused the zombies to become violent. Is it blocked from ultraviolet rays? It doesn't look like the nearby vegetation has been affected." Sun Jiao frowned and stood guard from one side. The sentry grabbed the terminal and showed it in front of Jiang Chen.

[Unknown bacterial density index: 13]

"What is this?" Jiang Chen asked confused.

"The tablet terminal connected to the air detection tower was bought from the Zhao Group. A similar situation happened in the Sixth Street District. Zhao Chenwu estimated that we would use this thing, so he sold it to us along the way. These unknown Bacteria will be suspended in the surrounding air, and their pathogenic mechanism is similar to that of original zombie bacteria. They can be eliminated by people who have been injected with immune enhancers or genetic agents through their own immune systems. However, if the bacterial density exceeds the threshold, it can only be eliminated by Wear protective clothing to deal with it, so I purchased 150 pieces of protective clothing just in case."

Following the direction of Sun Jiao's finger, Jiang Chen noticed that there was a tuning fork-shaped detector about one meter high on the roof of a house outside the base. The light green fluorescent film between the two forks slowly rotates with the base.

"Well done. But I have a question, wouldn't zombies be weakened by ultraviolet radiation?" Jiang Chen frowned.

"Yes, this is what confuses me. Because zombies also need to replenish energy, the mutant bacteria on the back of their necks will respond to ultraviolet light, causing most of the zombie's body functions to enter dormancy and enter a photosynthetic state." Sun Jiao repeated the common sense that everyone knows in this apocalypse.

"Could it be that... this kind of bacteria can recharge zombies?" Jiang Chen suddenly said after thinking for a moment.

Sun Jiao was startled when she heard this.

"Charging? In what way?"

"The bacteria floating in the air complete photosynthesis on behalf of the zombies in a special way, and then enter the zombies through special channels to be 'digested'. In this way, the zombies, which are always in a 'full state' of energy, naturally do not need No more photosynthesis."

Sun Jiao was stunned for a moment, then she held her chin and lowered her head, frowning slightly.

"It's possible. Although there is no scientific basis, what you say does make sense."

"Has the entire Wanghai City become like this?"

"It's just a part of the area. According to the news from the Sixth District, these bacteria seem to spread outward from a certain 'source'. Fortunately, these bacteria will not divide themselves and should only be produced by a certain 'mother'. According to the bacteria Using the three-line positioning method on the micro-element density distribution of the species, it was roughly determined that there is an area near us that belongs to the high-density area of this species. The source may be there."

Sun Jiao took out the pen-shaped holographic computer from her waist and opened the three-dimensional image. A triangular area was marked on the map.

"What is the nearest survivor base nearby? Did they respond at all?" Jiang Chen asked with serious eyes after thinking for a moment.

She was stunned for a moment, and then a wry smile appeared on her face.

"We are the nearest survivor base. There are mostly community-level survivor groups here, and we should be considered the largest... There is no action at the moment."

"It's dangerous to continue to allow these things to grow. We have to consider taking the initiative to eliminate the source of these germs. But now, it doesn't look like we can get out." Jiang Chen looked at the zombies all over the street and couldn't help but reveal wry smile.

"Yes, this germ seems to consciously pull zombies in the direction of human habitation. These zombies on the street have tried to attack our door six times in 15 days, and now our transactions with other survivor groups have been interrupted. Fortunately, there are no zombies in the sewers, and the connection with the Sixth District can still be maintained." A trace of sadness appeared on Sun Jiao's face, and it was obvious that she had no choice about these zombies.

"I think Zhao Chenwu must also have a headache. The entrance to the sewer over there is still a few hundred meters away from the Sixth Block." Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, he wisely ordered a corridor to be opened with cement. , the sewer entrance outside was directly integrated into the base.

"By the way, let's not talk about this first. Tell me about the recent development of the base." Jiang Chen was quite concerned about this issue.

"The trade surplus with the Zhao Group was 10,102 Yajing in early September. The trade volume reached 110,000 Yajing. It is said that the sales of those cans in the Sixth District are very good. Zhao Chenwu intends to significantly increase the trade volume, but I think you can't make the decision when you go back to purchase goods. The reason was that he refused. Because the base expansion has stopped, the building materials have been full, and the Zhao Group cannot afford so much Yajing for spot payment, so it made a proposal to sell people to us. The transaction was completed at a price of 50 Yajing per person. A total of 100 people made up for the remaining balance of 5,000 Yajing. The base population has reached 130." Of course, this does not include Sun Jiao, Yao Yao and Jiang Chen.

"The price has increased?" Jiang Chen frowned.

"The population cost has increased a lot, but the price of chips has not changed." Sun Jiao said with a wry smile, "Because the external environment has suddenly become dangerous, I heard that the Sixth District is planning to clean up two sources of bacteria nearby. So the Sixth District The demand for population has picked up quite a bit again.”

"How's the soldier training going?"

"There are 41 people who have obtained qualified evaluations in the virtual reality device. All of them have been injected with D-level genetic medicine and can become quasi-combatants." Sun Jiao controlled the tablet to bring up the data and reported to Jiang Chenhui.

"The source of bacteria must be eliminated." Jiang Chen looked into the distance with a hazy look. "I have a hunch that there will be more and more of these things peeking in the air. By then, I'm afraid that even if I want to get close to their source, Difficult."

"Then I'll go prepare. I'll make a battle plan today, and I'll lead the team out tomorrow." Sun Jiao nodded.

"I'll go too." Jiang Chen said solemnly.

"No." Sun Jiao flatly refused.

"listen to me."

"Is it your shooting skills?"

"... My current combat effectiveness is quite good. Moreover, I can escape from the battlefield through special abilities. The most important thing is that I am not worried about letting you lead the team alone." Jiang Chen was silent for a moment. Finally, he stared into Sun Jiao's eyes and said seriously.

There was another more important reason he didn't say. He planned to take this opportunity to negotiate with the survivor groups along the way. If Sun Jiao was allowed to come forward, he always felt that the final negotiation would develop into a fierce battle.

What's more, if you stay in a safe place, your combat effectiveness will never be improved.

Hearing those words of worry, Sun Jiao's cheeks turned slightly red, but she recovered quickly.

Her eyes struggled slightly for a moment, and finally she sighed as if giving up.

"Okay. I promise you."

Jiang Chen smiled and looked gratefully at Sun Jiao's recognition.

"Ahem, besides, the food in the base is about to bottom out. You can go get some more..." Sun Jiao coughed sheepishly and changed the topic.

"Food? No big deal." Jiang Chen grinned and disappeared in an instant.

Sun Jiao was stunned for a moment, looked at the place where Jiang Chen disappeared, and then smiled bitterly.

It's also... If you have this convenient ability, you can easily escape no matter how great the danger is.

Thinking of this, Sun Jiao couldn't help but feel relieved.

This is the first time I feel this way.

Well, maybe that time in the sewer was the first time. The feeling of valuing another person's life more than your own.
