I haven’t finished fighting the battle in Volume 3! Chapter 57: The first round of zombie evolution is completed!
Six months after the zombie virus outbreak, January 30th of the following year.
Today is the last day predicted by Tianluodiwang, the day when all zombies around the world will become evolved zombies. Shen Jin is afraid that some unexpected accidents will happen today, so all the zombie-killing teams in Home No. 1 did not go out too much. Shen Jin asked each team to walk carefully along the territory captured this month and conduct a carpet cleanup to ensure that no new zombies have sneaked in everywhere, otherwise, when ordinary people in the base start to move freely, a zombie tide will erupt from the inside and start eating directly.
Shen Jin and Yang Ao were floating 100 meters above the ground with jetpacks on their backs. "I've never understood why Tianluodiwang is so sure that the zombies will complete their first round of evolution in a month, that is, today. They even announced it again in the news yesterday. Is the situation the same everywhere? Wouldn't climate, geographical location, thin air, human density, sunlight hours and other factors have an impact?"
Yang Ao also nodded, "I am also a little puzzled. When I went out with the zombie-killing team to clean up yesterday, most of the zombies had indeed turned into evolved zombies, but... there are about 20% of them whose green hair has not yet grown out. Looking at their situation, according to the logic of normal zombie evolution, they will definitely not become evolved zombies today!"
In fact, after such a long period of cleaning up zombies, including the broadcast of Tianluodiwang, it has been said that the initial evolution degree of zombies is related to the density of green moss on the body. When the green moss has covered the whole body, the next step is to turn into green hair, thus completing the first evolution. The rules for evolving into first-order evolved zombies have not yet been found, but it is said to be related to eating fresh meat and the natural growth rate of the energy crystal core in the zombie's body.
"It's almost noon now. Let's go take a look at the unoccupied areas outside. I don't believe that the zombies can spirally evolve directly on the spot. The zombie virus also has to abide by the basic law!"
"Let's go!"
Yang Ao took Shen to the place they last raided yesterday. There was still a small group of zombies there. It was a nursing home. The zombies here were generally physically weaker than the young zombies, and their evolution speed was also slower. It seemed that the zombie virus also had requirements for the human body. The better the physical fitness, the higher the zombie strength and the faster the evolution speed. For those who originally had poor physical fitness, even if there was no zombie virus, there were a bunch of other viruses in their bodies, and even for the elderly who had half a foot in the coffin, the effect of the zombie virus was weakened a lot.
Similarly, if a first-level extraordinary person is infected by the zombie virus, the moment he turns into a zombie, he will evolve into a zombie!
The two were floating above the nursing home, and below them were countless old men and old women zombies strolling leisurely. If you ignore their rotting bodies and bulging eye sockets, they were actually not much different from before the apocalypse.
"The zombies here...at least half of them are ordinary zombies, right? I want to see how the dragnet can turn them all into evolved zombies!"
"I'm also curious. If the Dragnet knows when the zombies will evolve, it's too magical. This is not science, it's prophecy..."
Shen Jin came to the roof of the nursing home, found the best observation position, put down a mobile stand, placed his mobile phone on it, turned on the recording function, and began to record the leisurely steps of the old men and women zombies below.
"Let's go. Come back in the evening and collect your phone. You'll know then!"
Yang Ao had already found a place to sit on the roof, and then he watched Shen Jin's operation, "Shocked! I thought you were going to observe in real time here?"
Shen Jin looked puzzled: "Are you bored? What's so interesting about a bunch of zombies? Why don't you do something else? With such a large territory, my workload is huge! Besides... I feel that these zombies will most likely not evolve. Let's watch them tonight!"
"But... that's a dragnet. They are the authority on zombie research..."
After putting down the mobile phone holder to record the video, the two left separately. Shen Jin was going to surround the city, while Yang Ao went to the wall area planned by several people in advance to check and find out the problems.
Shen Jin was flying in the sky, recalling in his mind the strategic map that the three of them had drawn up at the beginning and the battle results of the five extraordinary teams and one extraordinary brigade this month.
The five extraordinary teams cleared the zombies in an orderly manner as before, and took over the territories that Shen Jin had originally expected on time, but the addition of 65 first-level extraordinary people allowed Shen Jin to expand his territory again. They mainly attacked the city area and forcibly fought their way several kilometers to the city area west of Home No. 1, killing countless zombies along the way. Moreover, this team far exceeded the expectations of Shen Jin and Yang Ao. They had a fanatical impulse to kill zombies. Originally, this team had poor combat skills, and Yang Ao had to teach them for a while before they could start their apprenticeship. However, relying on their madness and ruthlessness, they killed no less zombies than any other team!
There were just a few times when they encountered danger and were ambushed by zombies. Fortunately, Shen Jin arrived in time with the second-level magic beans, otherwise, about 10 people would have been killed in the past half month.
That would be a huge loss. Tianluodiwang would not be willing to let a dozen extraordinary people go to die. Now extraordinary people are the most important strategic resources of all bases and determine the military strength of a local government. Shen Jin's team of extraordinary people on such a large scale can already catch up with the number of extraordinary people in the government of second-tier cities.
"Since such a large area of the city has been conquered, let's expand the territory!"
Shen Jin flew to the area where the city met the railway station area, found some easily defensible positions and buildings, took out a pen and paper, and outlined an urban area of approximately 3 or 4 square kilometers outside the originally designated area.
"In this case... if we fence it all off, the area of Homeland One will be... about 130 square kilometers, which is enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of survivors, right? In the future, we can use this as a foundation and expand to the surrounding areas to start the second round of zombie elimination plan!"
In Shen Jin's plan, this is the first round of the siege plan, expanding the area to 120~ 140 ordinary kilometers, and then building a tall wall to keep the zombies in the urban area of Q City out in the west, separate it from the Haishanguan District in the east, with mountains in the north and the sea in the south. From the overall terrain, it only needs to guard against zombies on the east and west sides.
"In that case... let's get started! This is a huge project, but unfortunately... I can only do it by myself!"
Only at this time did Shen Jin lament that no one had the ability to cube. Otherwise, everyone could dig [pebble] and build walls, and he only needed to get the outermost layer of [compressed cobblestone].
Unfortunately, he is the only one who owns the system and has to take on this huge workload alone.
In the evening, "BOOM!"
There was a loud thunder. Shen Jin, who was building the wall, suddenly felt a palpitation coming. He flew up. The sky was getting darker, and it looked like it was going to rain. "It's going to rain..."
Seeing that the weather was bad, Shen Jin decided to stop here today. Before going back, Shen Jin went to the nursing home to get his mobile phone which was still recording. He put the stand and the phone into his backpack, then stood on the roof and looked down, "Fuck!"
Shen Jin was shocked to find that...
