After witnessing such a tragedy, Lin Tantan felt a little heavy-hearted.
After a moment of silence, a woman suddenly challenged a dazed woman in her fifties, "Have you been bitten too? You must be the child's grandmother!"
Lin Tantan immediately looked at the woman, and everyone else moved away from her. The latter quickly said, "I'm not her grandmother, we're just neighbors, I wasn't bitten!"
"Then you also know that the little girl is going to turn into a zombie, right? I saw you standing with them and whispering to each other just now, and the man was begging you for something."
"No, no, he just asked me not to tell anyone about the child's fever."
"Fever? The child has a fever?"
"Having a fever can really turn you into a zombie!"
Just now, Lin Tantan said that a fever could turn you into a zombie, and some people didn't believe it. But now that the facts are in front of them, no one dares not to believe it. They immediately looked at the people around them with vigilance, fearing that there was another person with a fever. One person said, "Your hands are a little hot, do you have a fever?" Another said, "Why is your face so red? Is your body temperature abnormal?"
Lin Tan Tan asked Jiang Zhongyi to come over and carry the body away. Seeing that people were about to get into a riot, he frowned and said loudly, "Okay, stop arguing. We will retreat together soon. You defend me and I defend you. We don't need zombies on the road. We can fight each other first."
She said slowly, "How about this, the ten of you form groups, and first check each other to see if they have a fever or any injuries, and then ask the students to come over to check. At the same time, you should also pay attention to each other's condition in your group, and report if you find any member is abnormal."
This method is quite effective. It allows people to supervise each other. Everyone will know who is in the same group and feel more at ease. Each group can then elect a representative to make management easier.
People began to spontaneously find people they liked to form groups with, and no one was picking on the woman anymore. Lin Tantan wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. It's human nature, what else is there to say
The commotion was suppressed by Lin Tan's few words. Naturally, some people were jealous: "Huh, so arrogant, you really think you are a leader, where did this chick come from..."
Mei Bosheng happened to be walking by and heard these sarcastic remarks. He got angry and walked over to the person who was speaking and picked him up: "What are you mumbling about, kid! Cai Chengliang?"
It turned out that this person was none other than their original rescue target, Cai Chengliang. This guy claimed to be the grandson of a big shot in the capital, and was praised by his classmates all day. He thought he was in a very high status, but when Ye Xiao came, he didn't treat him well at all. Not only did he leave him here, but he also gave the management position here to a woman of unknown origin. He had been furious for a long time.
I said a lot of sarcastic words, and together with a few like-minded classmates, I talked about others behind their backs, but I didn't expect to be overheard.
Cai Chengliang's feet almost left the ground when Mei Bosheng pulled his collar. He was so scared that his face turned pale: "What are you doing? I didn't say anything!"
Mei Bosheng sneered: "Who else did I think it was? Young Master! Be obedient and don't do anything stupid, or I won't care whose grandson you are, I will kill you!"
Mei Baisheng made a threatening gesture of wiping his neck. He despised the kind of guy who had no skills but could take advantage of his family elders to get special treatment. He didn't even say thank you for saving him, but asked to send him to a safe place first. It was really unreasonable.
Lin Tan Tan saw the argument and came over: "What's going on?"
"Ah, nothing happened." Mei Baisheng let go of Cai Chengliang and pushed him. Cai Chengliang staggered back two steps and sat on the ground, screaming in pain, as if his buttocks were broken.
Mei Baisheng was stunned for a moment and looked down on him even more. He couldn't even stand and he hadn't even tried hard.
Lin Tantan glanced at Cai Chengliang, who seemed to be the rescue target named Cai Chengliang. History said that he was an "important person", but his name was not recorded. Anyway, from now on, he really didn't look like an important person.
She said to Mei Bosheng: "I am here for you, go find Ye Xiao, he needs you more."
Mei Bosheng looked at the crowd. He was not good at managing people. He could only use force to intimidate people. But in terms of intimidation, he was not as good as Lin Tantan. He was really convinced by her now. If she hadn't been there just now, he might have really confessed. He scratched his head and said, "I'll leave now. Thank you so much for what you did just now. I'll thank you again when I have time."
"It's okay, go ahead and be safe."
Seeing Mei Bosheng walking away and getting himself a motorcycle to drive away, Lin Tantan looked at Cai Chengliang again. The man had already stood up and stood with several male students, with his head down and no words. Lin Tantan knew that this man was not convinced by him and seemed to think that he should be the manager, and at the very least, it was not the turn of ordinary students like Li Qing and Feng Xuemei to order him around.
Lin Tantan also looked down on this kind of person, but after all, he should be someone of some importance, so she couldn't say much and just didn't cause trouble.
Lin Tantan turned around and went back to work.
Cai Chengliang raised his head and looked at her back with a gloomy look. Then he looked in the direction where Mei Baisheng left, with deep resentment in his eyes.
"Sister, come and look at this." Jiang Zhongyi suddenly pulled Lin Tantan aside excitedly and took out something like he was presenting a treasure.
This girl actually found it easy to call me sister. She didn't feel it was shameful at all for a 23-year-old guy to call a 20-year-old girl like that.
He just saw it all. Lin Tan Tan was stronger than he thought. Many people wanted to get close to her, but they just didn't find the opportunity. But he already had such an opportunity. If he didn't grab it tighter, he would be wasting such good luck.
The thing he took out like a treasure was a crystal core: "I dug it out from the little girl's brain." Lin Tan Tan had asked them to dig out zombie crystal cores before. He was not used to it at the beginning, but now he has become very proficient in just over an hour. He can even tell whether the crystal core is good or not. "This one is darker than the others, and the color is also positive. Is it very energetic?"
Lin Tantan took it and looked at it: "Indeed." This is a first-level crystal core of very good quality, and it is of the wind type, showing a very pure and transparent cyan color. The high quality of the crystal core means that the zombie is powerful, and wind-type zombies are often very fast, no wonder the little girl moved so quickly.
The zombies are strong, but the man looks thin and weak, which is probably why the man turned into a zombie so quickly.
When people are infected, they turn into zombies. The speed of transformation varies from person to person. The general rule is: if the zombie is strong and the infected person is weak, the transformation will be faster, and vice versa.
Lin Tan Tan suddenly remembered that there was a very powerful wind-type zombie in the apocalypse. It was said to be short in stature and agile in movement, with a strong jumping ability, and could even glide briefly in the air. Ordinary psychics could not deal with it at all. It had destroyed a small base in the second and third years of the apocalypse respectively, and was quite famous in the entire apocalypse zombie rankings.
Could it be that little girl zombie
She actually strangled a big shot in the cradle
This feeling... Lin Tan Tan tried it out, well, it's not bad.
The zombie boss had a fever, so Lin Tantan felt a little complicated.
As mentioned before, there is only a fine line between mutants and zombies. Their essence is a special kind of energy, not a virus. During the fever awakening stage, this energy adapts to and transforms the human body.
Later scholars called those whose bodies were affected within ten minutes after 1:45 on January 1 the first batch of transformants. Ninety-nine point nine nine nine percent of this batch became zombies, and the rest either died or became superpowers like Ye Xiao. About half of the world's population was affected.
Those who appear after ten minutes are called the second batch of transformed people. The number of people in the second batch is far less than that of the first batch, and they mainly appear in the first year of the apocalypse. However, among this group of people, the ratio of psychics to zombies is roughly between 6:4 and 8:2, with slight differences in different countries and regions.
—The opposite of the transformed is the infected, which refers to people who are directly infected by zombies. The energy in the zombies has a huge corrosive and contagious nature, just like the most terrible virus, so it is still described as "infected". The vast majority of the infected have become zombies, and only a very small number of them have become superpowers after being infected, which is rare.
In other words, the little girl is from the second batch of transformed people. If she is discovered early and given human intervention, she would have a chance to develop into a mutant, and become a powerful wind-type mutant.
Lin Tan Tan just knew how to intervene in the awakening process. He had no intention of doing anything before because of concerns, but now...
Thinking about the four people with fever in the gymnasium, and the many people with fever or suspected of having fever found outside, everyone had a panic look on their face, and she felt that she should do something.
…
On the other side, Mei Bosheng told Ye Xiao what happened in front of the gymnasium.
"Boss, do you think Old White won't become like that?" he said worriedly.
Ye Xiao frowned and looked at him: "Can't you say something nice?"
Mei Bosheng sighed and looked at the survivors who had gathered again in the back: "Even if we save these people, they may still turn into zombies. When and where will we be truly safe?"
Ye Xiao: "At least you can't sigh like this."
Mei Baisheng touched his nose and said, "Okay."
They brought several more waves of people into the gymnasium, almost filling up the place. Finally, they received news from Lao Bai that everything outside had been prepared and they were starting to prepare to evacuate.
It was nearly half past three.
The zombies near and far outside the west gate of Yangshi University were led towards the high-speed railway station. After moving for three kilometers, the bridge was blown up and the zombies were blocked on the other side of the bridge.
The area outside the west gate became very clean.
Zhong Xiong and his group came over with buses and trucks, while Lin Tantan was organizing people to go out of the west gate.
They also have some vehicles, such as school buses, cars, and vans from the school parking lot. For cars, a person with a fever is placed in each car, with all four limbs tied up and fixed in the back seat. For other cars, the elderly and children are given priority. For school buses with large passenger specifications, the maximum number of people is more than 35. If they squeeze in, they can squeeze in 70 to 80 people, which is quite large.
If we go out like this, there will be a very long line of people, nearly five thousand in total.
The two teams met in the middle and then got on the bus in batches.
The scene was quite chaotic for a while.
A red helicopter hovered in the sky, escorting the team.
"Attention, there is a wave of zombies approaching on Yuying Road in the southeast direction. There are more than 500 zombies."
A voice came from Lin Tantan's earphones. It was Xu Qin's flat and smooth voice. He was on the helicopter. Bai Cheng couldn't come out due to special circumstances, so it was his turn to take on the role of commander.
"Attention, there is a wave of zombies approaching on Yucai Road in the southeast direction. There are more than three hundred of them."
"Attention, there is a wave of zombies approaching on the Bachelor Road at 4 o'clock in the southwest. There are more than 500 zombies."
Although several large groups of zombies had been moved away, there were still too many zombies in this area, making it impossible to clear them all. As a result, waves of zombies appeared. Lin Tantan listened to Xu Qin's orderly but particularly cold report. Before he could worry about being attacked from both sides, his head was aching from hearing his harsh voice.
Cars full of people drove away. Lin Tan Tan, Ye Xiao and Mei Bosheng were nearby. The three of them formed a line of defense. Whenever a zombie showed up, they were quickly knocked down. However, the people who had not yet gotten in the last few cars were still getting anxious.
"Hurry up!" "Are you able to get on?" People who didn't get on the bus were crowding at the door. Mei Baisheng went over and pulled people apart, pushing those who were crowding at the door apart, and then letting those who were outside get on first.
"What are you doing?" a fat man who was pulled away by Mei Baisheng shouted.
"What are you saying about me? If you keep squeezing, you won't have to go up!"
The fat man suddenly didn't dare to speak.
Cai Chengliang was among those who had not yet gotten on the bus. He had been waiting, even waiting for this opportunity and not getting on the bus until now. Finally, he got what he had waited for.
He plucked up his courage and pretended to be pushed by someone, and bumped into Mei Baisheng. The button of his cuff just "coincidentally" brushed against the back of Mei Baisheng's hand that was holding the fat man's arm.
Mei Baisheng glared at him and Cai Chengliang shrank his neck: "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't stand steadily." Then he hurriedly squeezed into the car.
After getting in the car, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the two buttons on his cuffs that he had cut off on one side, revealing the pointed corners. They were a little black, as he had deliberately rubbed them in the zombies' blood.
I don’t know if it’s useful, I don’t know if I got it just now.
He was excited, stimulated and felt pleased, and after the car started moving, he cut the hole while no one was paying attention. He wanted to throw it out of the car, but the window was closed, so he threw it under the seat.
Mei Bosheng was unaware of this. He just saw a scratch on the back of his hand that he didn't know when it appeared. The skin wasn't even broken, just a little red, but he didn't take it seriously.
Seeing that there were only two cars left, the last few people got on.
Ye Xiao shouted: "Let's talk, get in the car first!"
Lin Tan Tan glanced at him and said, "Okay." She got on one of the buses, and it drove away as soon as the door closed. She squeezed behind the door and watched. The bus behind hadn't started yet, and gradually the distance between them was getting farther and farther. When she could hardly see it because of the angle, the bus behind finally started.
"Huh." Lin Tan Tan let out a breath and leaned against the car door to rest. He was very tired from continuously using his supernatural powers.
At this time, the bus behind had started moving, but no one had gotten on yet. Ye Xiao and Mei Bosheng ran after the bus while shooting at the zombies.
Ye Xiao: "Meimei, get in the car."
"Wait, there are a few more, I'll kill them!"
By the time the last zombie fell, they were already several car lengths away from the bus, but the bus had not yet fully accelerated, so they caught up with it after a few steps.
Ye Xiao: "Go ahead."
Mei Bosheng ran to the car door, panting: "No, I have no strength left, I can't get in."
Ye Xiao: “…”
He could only go up by himself first, then turn around and reach out to pull Mei Bosheng.
Mei Baisheng chuckled, but he was not lying. He did feel very tired suddenly and his feet could hardly move.
He naturally stretched out his hand, and at this moment, Ye Xiao's pupils suddenly shrank, and Mei Baisheng seemed to be stunned. He was stunned and his steps slowed down. Finally, he stood there, staring blankly at the scratch on the back of his hand. It was just a little red just now, but now it was completely blue and black, and the skin around it was also wrong.
He had killed too many zombies that day and seen too many people being scratched and bitten and turned into zombies. He knew too well what this meant.
How could that be
Mei Baisheng's mind went blank and he looked up blankly at his captain in the car.
Ye Xiao was also completely stunned. He usually reacted quickly and remained calm in times of crisis, but at this moment his mind was in a mess: "Meimei..."
Mei Bosheng suddenly thought of the man in front of the gymnasium, who turned into a rotten zombie in a few seconds.
He didn't want to become like that.
He suddenly smiled, pulled out his gun and pointed it at his temple.
Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows and shouted sternly: "Meimei!"
