Seeing their captain with a gloomy face, the people surrounding Lin Tan immediately dispersed. Although they usually get along with each other in a casual manner, Ye Xiao is actually very trusted by everyone in the team. This trust is not only because he has the highest military rank, but also because he is always the first to go forward and the last to retreat when facing danger.
Looking at the guys pretending nothing happened, Ye Xiao had a headache. It was their first meeting. Couldn't these people maintain a reliable image a little longer
He glanced at Lin Tantan, who was obviously relieved, and went in and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about superpowers." Xu Qin told the story again, and then saw the golden light on the axe blade in his hand disappear. He said, "It seems that this needs to be continuously injected with superpowers. If there is a way to store this energy and continuously supply power to the weapon, even if it is a piece of scrap metal, it can exert the power of a magic weapon."
Lin Tan Tan almost wanted to applaud him. This was the principle of superpower weapons in the middle and late stages of the apocalypse. At that time, zombies evolved rapidly and posed an increasing threat to humans, but there were only a few superpowers. Ordinary guns and ammunition could not do anything to zombies, so people worked hard to research a new generation of weapons.
Then they actually developed a weapon powered by crystal cores.
Because crystal cores are limited and hard to come by, and because this type of weapon is very difficult to manufacture, this weapon is expensive and scarce, and has become standard equipment for the powerful and people of status. Anyone who does not have a super weapon in his hand would be embarrassed to say that he is a capable or prestigious person.
Ye Xiao thought for a moment: "This is a good idea, but the most important thing at the moment is not this. We still have two rescue plans to implement. What do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other and didn't say anything for a while. Lin Tan looked at this and that, and wanted to listen here, but it was a group meeting, and it would be a bit inconsiderate for her to be here as an outsider. Even if she wanted to integrate into the team, she had to take it step by step, right? So she stood up and said, "You guys talk about business, I'll go out for a walk."
After she came out, she wandered around. Although the building was roughly circular, each floor had some special designs, and there were many stairs and elevators. If she walked around casually, she might get lost.
There are many offices of different sizes on each floor. Some are very large and have beautiful facades. There is a reception desk and then many workstations. Some are just one or two office areas, but they are very personalized in design, and there are even foreign language tutoring classes here.
No one wanted to live on the first floor. Some houses on the second floor were occupied by the twenty or so survivors, but there were still quite a few left. In addition, Ye Xiao and his group lived on the second floor, so the newcomers also found a place on the second floor as a temporary stay.
Lin Tantan saw that some of these people were fighting for a place with a lounge, some were quarreling over a soft sofa, and some were arguing over a kettle and a pack of tissues.
Oh, the water and electricity have not been cut off at this time, so a kettle is of course very important.
Lin Tan Tan remembered something and took out his cell phone. From last night to today, no one had called or sent a text message to this phone. Lin Tan Tan thought that the original owner was a bit miserable. Did no one care about how she was doing in this great change? Or did those who cared about her die
The class group was full of messages, all kinds of panic, requests for help, crying, and asking questions. The Internet had gone completely crazy. She casually scrolled through countless posts like #End of the World, Zombies Rampant#, #If You Are Still Alive, How Should You Deal With This Disaster#, #We Are in xxx, Who Can Save Us#, #Why Hasn't the Country Taken Action Yet, Where Is the Army? Where Is the Government?#, #The World Is Ending, Let's Get High#, and attached countless photos that would cause strong discomfort.
There were howlings of disaster everywhere, and the evil thoughts that quickly sprouted along with them.
As for the news, there were reports released by the state asking the people of the country to calm down and actively save themselves, and that the army would soon arrive in various places to carry out rescue operations. There were also some so-called experts' analyses of the catastrophe, and then they encouraged everyone that the disaster would eventually pass and that everyone should work together to overcome it.
There was also a very popular post, the title of which was the origin of the end of the world. Lin Tantan clicked on it and took a look.
The poster probably has access to information channels that ordinary people cannot access. He pointed out that at 1:45 p.m. on January 1, a sudden cosmic radiation swept the earth. At that time, the radiation directly hit the Western Hemisphere, and the countries and regions there were the worst hit. In just a dozen seconds, the radiation spread across the globe, and then humans mutated rapidly, and in just ten minutes, the world became a hell on earth.
"This is not just a nightmare for one country or one region, but a catastrophe for the entire world!"
The poster wrote this, and he predicted that this catastrophe would not only target humans, but all living things.
There were many replies below, but few of them discussed the cause of the end of the world with the poster. They were all calling for help and cursing, or asking the poster what other news he knew, what plans the country had, whether there would be a vaccine, etc.
As a person of later generations, Lin Tan Tan knows that what the thread owner wrote is basically accurate. The cause of the end of the world is indeed cosmic radiation, not the biological research virus leak as many people speculate now. It is precisely because of this that people appear even weaker and more powerless in the face of this thorough natural disaster.
Vaccines and the like do not exist and cannot be developed. This is because the essence of zombie infection is not a virus, but a mysterious force that can cause biological genes to collapse and recombine.
Lin Tan Tan looked for a while and then walked out, taking a deep breath. This was the end of the world, and she had no time to think about it. Now that she had found Ye Xiao, her heart relaxed a little, and she realized very clearly that she had come to the most chaotic and cruel era.
She turned her head and looked at the one-way blue glass curtain wall. Not far away was the shopping mall. Yesterday was New Year's Day and the mall was full of people. Naturally, it was the hardest-hit area. Now, when Lin Tan looked over there, she saw that wherever she could see clearly, there were zombies everywhere.
"Tan Tan." A clear and mellow voice sounded, and the heaviness in Lin Tan Tan's heart was immediately swept away. She turned to look at the man walking towards her.
She couldn't help but curl her lips when she saw him. With this person here, no matter how chaotic or cruel the world was, she wouldn't worry or hesitate. She came here just for him.
Ye Xiao walked up to Lin Tan Tan and said, "We plan to go to the University City area of Peking University at noon."
"We're going at noon?" Lin Tan Tan looked at the time. It was almost ten o'clock. "Don't you want to take a break?"
"No time to rest." Ye Xiao's clear eyes were solemn. "We went there to save someone, but because the news spread, everyone thought there would be help there. Students in the school and nearby residents all went there. The situation was very dangerous."
In fact, they might not necessarily go just to find Cai Chengliang. It's not because they despise human life, but after getting to know the city in depth, they saw with their own eyes that many people were struggling on the verge of death. Ye Xiao believed that there were many people in the shopping mall and the residential buildings nearby who needed rescue. If it was for the purpose of saving people, it would be the same no matter who they saved. Why bother going to great lengths to save Cai Chengliang.
At this moment, Cai Chengliang's life was no more precious than that of others, and was not worth the risk they took.
Even though Major General Min called twice to urge him to do it.
But there are many people gathered in the Peking University city area now. Whether according to the five graduate students or the surveillance footage, it shows that the zombies nearby are gathering there. Once a large-scale zombie tide is formed, the consequences will be disastrous.
He looked at Lin Tan and said, "You said you wanted to go to the university district of Peking University, but if it's not something important, I don't recommend you go. It's too dangerous."
What Lin Tan Tan was most concerned about was: "Is Meimei going?"
"…" Ye Xiao paused and looked at her seriously, "He goes."
"Oh, I'll go too."
