Chapter 111 Zombie World
Chapter 111 Zombie World
This is your treasure trove for discovering the best science fiction novels.
"And like the previous Mad Dragon Virus, this virus inside the zombie also has the effect of strengthening itself."
After saying that, Cheng Shun's face was full of solemnity.
This is not the first time they have encountered a virus that can enhance its host.
First came the Mad Dragon virus, then the Zombie virus.
Both of these can enhance the host's physical fitness.
Could it be a coincidence?
Deep down, Cheng Shun didn't believe that all of this was a coincidence.
It's as if fate has its own destiny.
"Can it strengthen itself in the same way?"
Su Yang was slightly surprised.
If both are enhanced viruses, this zombie virus and the Mad Dragon virus are not even in the same league; they are incomparable.
Those large carnivorous dinosaurs, after being enhanced by the virus, were incredibly strong.
But these zombies don't look like dinosaurs.
Of course, it's also possible that the host's physical condition is simply too poor.
Even if the virus can enhance it, it still won't be very effective.
Zombies that can be dealt with with crossbow bolts can generally be dealt with using a dagger infused with heavy iron alloy.
"It's a little different from the Mad Dragon virus, which can attach to bones and even red blood cells."
"But the zombie virus is almost entirely concentrated in the brain, with only a very small number of free-floating viruses circulating in the blood."
After supplementing his explanation with experiments, Cheng Shun continued, "I will speak further."
"The brain?"
Su Yang narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on the zombies.
The Mad Dragon Virus, like the Zombie Virus, primarily affects the brain.
Even more so than the former, only a very small number circulate with the blood flow.
"Do we still need to research an antidote?"
Zhu Haotian looked at the several dark zombies on the ground and got goosebumps all over his body.
Is it really necessary to study viruses?
"Need not."
Su Yang shook his head. "In the apocalypse, the most dangerous and deadly things are often those who survive."
Moreover.
Unlike Jurassic World, some of the buildings here look almost identical to those on Earth.
This means that the human civilization here may already be no less advanced than that of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Developing an antidote hastily would only do them harm and no good for their development of this planet.
Humans are always driven by self-interest.
The same is true on Earth, and it is also true here.
Moreover, they didn't even know the full picture of the planet, let alone the reason for the zombie apocalypse.
However, one thing is certain: there must still be survivors on this planet.
"Let's explore the surrounding area first. According to the footage transmitted by the drone, we are currently on the edge of a city."
Guo Yong spoke in a deep voice.
"That's why we didn't encounter a zombie horde when we arrived here."
Generally speaking, the number of zombies in the city center is several times or even ten times greater than that on the city's outskirts.
Because the city center is where the population is most concentrated.
Once a zombie outbreak occurs, the infection rate in the central area will likely be much faster than in the suburbs.
Be careful when walking on the street.
What came into view were suffocating ruins.
The dilapidated buildings, the rusted license plates, the dust-covered vehicles, and the fences broken in half.
Everything tells of how glorious this planet once was.
But now, it has become so dilapidated.
Even when Han Bei was walking on the street wearing protective clothing, he could smell the rusty smell and the decaying smell of bloodstains in the air.
Each step I took on the street felt like stepping on tiny twigs, producing a faint sound.
When these words reached the ears of the crowd, they couldn't help but feel a jolt.
Looking up at the sky, all I saw was a hazy, overcast sky, with hardly any trace of sunlight.
A drone, flying high in the sky, guided Han Bei and his group.
To avoid making noise and attracting large numbers of zombies, the drones flew at a relatively high altitude.
Even Su Yang, who has excellent hearing, could not hear any sound.
As they walked along the road, several zombies appeared ahead, which had already been scouted by drones.
Seeing this, Guo Yong waved to signal.
His teammates raised their crossbows and swiftly dispatched the four zombies.
Upon seeing this, Han Bei, who was initially a little nervous, immediately relaxed a lot.
He was no longer in a situation where he was all alone.
"According to the footage transmitted by the drone, there should be a bookstore not far ahead."
Guo Yong spoke in a low voice.
"Does that mean we can bring some data back and start deciphering it?"
Han Bei's eyes lit up.
He was quite curious about how human civilization on this planet had managed to turn itself into this wretched state.
"Indeed, but it depends on the degree of decay of the books in the bookstore."
Su Yang nodded.
How many books are there in the bookstore?
Unlike the stone tablet from Jurassic World, which, although heavy, was at least not difficult to carry away.
But books are different.
One person can only carry so much; if there's too much, even walking becomes a problem.
Therefore, they had to take photos and videos.
I will try my best to bring back everything recorded in those books.
As for the books themselves, they are not really important.
What is important is always the vessel that carries civilization.
Just like on Earth, the oracle bone inscriptions themselves are not important; what is important is that they record the things and events of that time.
These things are more meaningful because they can help them better study history.
We soon arrived near the bookstore.
Seeing this, Guo Yong told everyone to be careful of the hidden corners inside the bookstore and to carefully check any place where zombies might be hiding.
To avoid unexpected situations.
Just as Guo Yong had predicted, there were indeed five or six zombies roaming inside the bookstore.
Fortunately, the zombies posed little threat to them and were quickly dealt with.
After dealing with the zombies, Guo Yong immediately ordered that the contents of those books be recorded as soon as possible.
Some of them used cameras to begin recording.
Some people also started searching for books that had not yet been completely weathered.
Han Bei, wearing protective clothing, was also helping to find usable books.
Picking up a book that resembled a magazine, wiping away the dust that had accumulated on the cover, Han Bei was greeted by the sight of a beautiful woman.
Seeing this, Han Bei threw it aside.
At a time like this, what's the use of that thing?
You might as well find some books related to social news or even technology.
Those are what they need most right now.
It is also an important item that can help them quickly understand the level of development of human civilization on this planet.
