Volume 1 Three Months After the End of the World Chapter 66: Fellow compatriots, let’s fight against the zombies together!
At present, the zombie tide is still a long distance away from everyone, so Shen Jin is not very busy here.
Shen Jin has a complete underground system. If he is really hit by a tide of zombies, he can just take everyone and hide underground.
The underground system was originally built to avoid zombies. It has multiple air inlets and exhaust outlets, allowing Shen Jin to stay underground for a long time. If the zombie tide stays around his villa, he also has a backup route and can exit from other locations.
"Hiss! Covering the sky and the sun! The tide of zombies is so terrifying." Yang Ao held a telescope and saw a large area of dust and black shadows.
"Has a leader appeared among the zombies? It will be difficult for humans to resist it then. I wonder what the situation is like in other places..." Shang Qian sighed.
"Hot weapons cannot be used. The government officials can't do anything about this massive zombie tide, right?"
"Oh, what else can we do? Can we just charge the army? They are not even as armored as ours. I don't know if we can get rescued!"
Shen Jin sneered. He knew it ever since Hu Shou told him that the rescue was kept secret.
Hu Shou is the director of the Tianluodiwang and cannot lie to the people. If there really was a rescue, he would have made a simple statement. However, this kind of vague statement must mean that there was a problem.
If you think about it carefully, how much combat power can an army have left without hot weapons?
Shen Jin no longer has any hope in the government. He just wants to preserve his own piece of land. If he can't bear it anymore, he will dig a tunnel to his ancestral mountain, where there are many mountains and abundant stones. When the time comes, he will hollow out a few mountains and build a 60-meter-high wall like the ruler in "Attack on Titan" and be self-sufficient in the mountains.
After all, zombies don't have giant bodies, so they are bound to be unable to break through. They can take a few wives with them, pass on their family line, and continue the human bloodline. Then, for generations to come, they can just be a group of people living in the paradise. Isn't that good?
But now is too far to talk about that. For now, they have to avoid this wave of zombies. Shen Jin looked at his three teammates and began to give orders: "Yang Ao, go and inform everyone in the settlement of the current situation. Tell them to put down their work, go back to their rooms and pack their things, and then follow us into the underground for shelter!"
"Okay, boss!"
"Shang Qian, go find Fu Wei and see how his research on blood crystal is going. Help him pack up the small experimental equipment and various materials. When we retreat later, let Old Fu go first. Be sure to protect Old Fu's safety. It's no exaggeration to say that his value to us and to mankind is far higher than that of the people in that yard!"
"good!"
Yang Ao and Shang Qian both went to do their work.
"What about me? What about me!?" Li Moxiao felt the atmosphere of the coming war and felt nervous and excited.
"Li Moxiao, go... bring me some food. I need to observe the movement of the zombies here!"
"Oh..." Li Moxiao walked away with a resentful look on his face.
"Oh right! There's one more thing!"
Li Moxiao instantly became excited again, feeling that his role had come again, "Shen Jin, tell me quickly, what crucial task do you need me to do? I... can do it!"
"This is very important. It's almost 12 o'clock. Bring the radio over. I won't go back today. Listen on the city wall!"
"Eh? That's it? That's it?"
Shen Jin nodded naturally, and Li Moxiao returned to the villa with a pout...
"Humph! You're clearly looking down on me. I can do a lot of things, too. I've gotten a lot stronger lately~!"
Li Moxiao walked while muttering, and kicked a stone the size of a small bench. The stone drew a semicircle in the air, and fell to the ground in the distance with a "smack", breaking into a pile of rubble...
There was a brief commotion among the colleagues in the company, which was quickly suppressed by Yang Ao. Everyone stopped their work and hurried back to the dormitory to pack up. Shang Qian came to the laboratory and saw Fu Wei fiddling with a culture vessel with a transparent luminous fluid in it. "What is this?"
Fu Wei saw the beautiful manager next to Shen Jin coming, and he did not dare to neglect her. He quickly pulled a stool for her to sit down. "This is pure 'energy factor'. After my test, it contains the power of a grenade. It can attach to the surface of other microorganisms to ensure that the 'energy' inside will not dissipate and explode!"
Shang Qian nodded, not quite understanding, and then told Fu Wei about the phenomenon outside and the purpose of her visit. Fu Wei was immediately shocked, "It's bad! There is still work to be done in my extractor. You have to wait for me, otherwise a precious energy crystal core will be wasted!"
"Moreover, according to my theoretical analysis last night, I only need to use the microorganisms I cultivated to carry the 'energy factor', add the energy crystal core material, and then add the buffering agent to obtain a primary 'energy activation agent'."
"What! Can it activate humans to transcendence?"
"It's hard to say. The 'Energy Activation Potion' is not like the 'Gene Optimization Potion 1.0' which has been through many experiments and has a research context. This potion directly uses the substances in the zombie crystal core. It still needs to go through a lot of live tests to understand its specific effects. But... it can definitely increase the strength of the human body and even induce the awakening of superpowers, because I guess the two are most likely the same energy parameter."
Fu Wei's experience in biological theory is amazing. Although he has not undergone rigorous experiments and does not have sufficient data support, he can directly analyze the most likely theoretical results through his clinical experience in biology.
The "energy factor" in the energy crystal core can induce humans to improve their potential!
But we need to remove the active microorganisms inside. After all, the energy crystal core is generated from the zombies' brains. These microorganisms may have some relationship with the zombie virus infecting humans...
Shang Qian looked at the time and thought that the people at the company still needed some time to prepare, and the zombies were still far away. "Then you should get the things as soon as possible and leave!"
When I walked outside, I saw Shen Jin went into the storage matchbox where the cotton-padded clothes and quilts were stored. Shen Jin cubed all the things inside and took them away. [Obtained: Quilt x 155]
[Obtain: Cotton coat × 52]
[Obtain: Cotton × 1]
The 64 cubic meters of cotton are about to run out. This group of women are working hard. If nothing goes wrong, these quilts can be used to send Shen Jin away...
After collecting the things, Shen Jin returned to the wall, ate the food Li Moxiao brought, and turned on the radio, "Sizzle, sizzle~!"
“Sssssssss~!”
"Hello, fellow countrymen, I am Hu Shou!"
Hu Shou's deep and powerful voice came from the radio, and it was particularly solemn.
The few people who had finished their work looked at each other for a few seconds, and they all saw question marks on their faces...
Because usually there are special announcers to report the content. Even if there are speeches or knowledge lectures by Hu Shou, they are always introduced first. Why did they go straight to Hu Shou today?
"Today's broadcast is extremely important to all living people in our country. Please put down the things in your hands, find a safe place, and listen patiently. I will start today's broadcast in 5 minutes. Please call your companions to listen to today's broadcast together. Also, it's best to take a notebook to take notes..."
“…”
Hu Shou's voice was extremely heavy and serious, making it hard to breathe.
Shen Jin pondered for a moment, "It seems that something big has happened at the government. What is the Tianluodiwang Bureau going to do?"
"Director Hu never speaks empty words. Since he is so serious, there must be major initiatives going on over there!" Yang Ao tried to analyze Hu Shou's words.
Shang Qian nodded, "I agree, I guess it might be related to the rescue!"
Shen Jin also nodded. Finally, in the fourth month of the apocalypse, they were going to announce the rescue...was it a failure?
Li Moxiao frowned, "This zombie tide and such an important broadcast happened at the same time, it's like two woes come alone!"
"What if Director Hu Shou has good news?"
Everyone was silent. Good news wouldn't be expressed in this tone...
Five minutes later, not a second more or less, Hu Shou's voice reappeared, "My speech today will be longer, because... this concerns the survival of our country and even the entire human race! Everyone must pay great attention to it!"
"First, it's very unfortunate news... The government's rescue plan has failed! And it won't be launched again in the short term. The capital has been completely lost and completely occupied by zombies! The government's highest command center has been evacuated from the capital and moved to a military base on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. A new type of defense fortress has been built based on the terrain!"
Everyone across the country who was listening to the radio was shocked!
The last line of defense in everyone's mind was the invincible army and soldiers, but they didn't expect that the capital would be lost...
At this moment, the persistence and faith in the hearts of many ordinary people seemed to collapse. Although Shen Jin guessed that rescue would not come, he did not expect that the whole area had been lost.
The people in the settlement, who were busy moving things, suddenly stopped. Hu Shou's voice remained calm, and he continued slowly, "The comprehensive and all-round outbreak of the zombie virus has caused society to stop functioning instantly. Our army cleared out all the zombies at the first opportunity, and the number of troops was reduced by 80% instantly. However, this cannot stop us from overcoming this disaster and activating our country's highest emergency plan. Our 20% of the army is enough to complete the comprehensive cleanup work within a month!
But... thermal weapons failed. This failure was not due to damage or equipment problems, but because the weapons in good condition lost their physical support. When the trigger was pulled, the barrel no longer ejected flames, the loaded shells could not ignite, the nuclear submarine system was normal but could not launch missiles, and laser weapons could not generate pulses...
All the lethal weapons that mankind is proud of have become a pile of scrap metal!
The World United Organization launched a global emergency plan, urgently requisitioned all surviving air transport forces, and gathered the world's top physicists, chemists, and mathematicians from all countries in the world to the world's largest physics experiment center, working day and night. After 3 months of research, 20 people died suddenly and 50 people were driven crazy, but these weapons could not be restored to normal under any circumstances anywhere!
We humans are like the ones in "The Three-Body Problem", where the laws of physics have been locked by advanced civilizations. All the applicable physical rules outside are completely ineffective inside thermal weapons.
In this battle, we haven't even found the enemy yet, but 99% of our military strength has been destroyed...
But! We will not give up. The top 12 scholars in various disciplines in our country have made requests, and all the extraordinary people in the dragnet have been mobilized. A large laboratory has been established in XZ, and we will continue to study ways to restore thermal weapons.
This is a closed research project, which we call the "Wallfacer" project. All researchers do not communicate with each other, do not keep data, and conduct experiments and inferences based on their feelings. All research results are in the minds of these 12 people...
Therefore, before the research results come out, the government's highest action command will not organize any large-scale rescue operations!"
At this moment, all Chinese people seemed to feel the scientists' despair. The laws and theorems they had believed in all their lives were overturned by an inexplicable force.
In order to find a ray of hope in despair, they implemented the "Wallfacer" plan, using the 12 strongest human brains to search for the unknown key to save China and save the earth!
But... until there is a result, mankind can only return to the era of cold weapons.
"Second, regarding the zombie virus, the zombie viruses discovered so far have a very high infection rate. Most of them exist in the bodies of zombies and have a short survival time outside. They will not leave a highly polluted environment to cause external respiratory infections. Common ways of infection are being scratched or bitten by zombies, eating food and drinking water contaminated with the zombie virus, or having body fluids containing the zombie virus splashed into the mouth, eyes, etc.
The above is all old knowledge, but based on the above characteristics, we humans have a great chance of producing a vaccine to immunize against the zombie virus, but we... failed again.
Every time we make a vaccine, we inject it into the human body to produce zombie virus antibodies. However, after being infected with the zombie virus again, the antibodies not only fail to kill the virus, but instead cause the virus to mutate, thus turning into zombies again, and they are stronger than ordinary zombies! Almost immediately after the transformation is complete, they can reach the strength of evolved zombies.
After countless experiments, the results are always the same. After repeated research by the most advanced biological research institute in the world, this virus was finally defined as:
Vaccines are ineffective and there is no cure.
In addition, through the observations of the past few months, we have also come to the conclusion that after being infected with the zombie virus, the virus will rebuild the gene chain in the human body, allowing it to evolve in various ways to adapt to the environment. This speed is very fast! Moreover, after being infected with the zombie virus, the human brain will become a central container. Human consciousness no longer exists. There is only the virus body that keeps issuing orders. Any action that does not completely destroy the zombie brain tissue cannot eliminate the zombie. The remaining virus body will repair the brain again, thus resurrecting the zombie!
We also found that the zombie virus can not only infect humans and turn them into zombies, but also provide evolutionary energy for zombie mutations. In extreme environments, when zombies are on the verge of death, they will actively devour individuals around them that contain a large amount of zombie viruses, thereby increasing their own zombie virus concentration and producing new mutations. This type of mutant is often more infectious. At the same time, a high concentration of zombie virus will make its evolution faster, thereby giving rise to various strange species.
The energy crystal core produced by the evolved zombies has extraordinary power. Now our country's top biologists are studying it. What we can confirm is that this energy crystal core contains some kind of microorganism that carries energy. The microorganism contains a large number of zombie genes, which is a highly toxic drug! Taking it rashly will only make you burst by the energy or turn you into a new evolved zombie... But there are also very few people who gain superpowers by eating energy crystal cores. This ratio is probably one in a thousand...
We need a technology that can perfectly extract energy from microorganisms. With this technology, we can invent a special medicine that stabilizes the awakening power! If anyone can provide relevant technology or theoretical basis, please be sure to contact the Tianluodiwang Bureau via satellite phone! The satellite phone is ×××××××"
Fu Wei looked at Shen Jin in shock, and Shen Jin pressed his hands, indicating that he would talk about it later.
"Third, from this moment on! Next, I will announce the first strategic measure of the Chinese National Dragnet Command: the "National Anti-Corpse Plan""
"Humanity! It's a matter of life and death! Without hot weapons, all of us who are still alive can be an effective force in killing zombies.
Starting today, I declare... China has entered an era of nationwide anti-zombie resistance!
All government agencies in all regions that have not fallen and retain military power must make every effort to retake steel manufacturing plants, change assembly lines, and produce cold weapons!
The chief ordnance engineer of Tianluodiwang designed three cold weapons specifically for fighting zombies based on the lethality and practicality of ancient Chinese battlefields and the characteristics of zombies:
Corpse-slaughtering axe, spiral blade, and Liquan spear.
The design drawings have been distributed to all government agencies with military power. Do not keep them to yourself. All Chinese people can manufacture and use them!
Survivors from all over the world can contact local government agencies to assist in manufacturing, obtaining weapons, and killing zombies.
Our country has stored a large amount of war supplies, which can be used by the entire nation for two years. After reducing the population by 85%, it can even be used for 10 years!
Government agencies in all regions must do their best to seize local war reserve material reserves and supply them to all citizens. They must not keep any for themselves!
There is also a Taoist mental method and food formula that can be used after unlocking the gene lock. After experimental testing, it can greatly reduce the probability of gene collapse. Fellow countrymen, please write it down with a pen. Taoist mental method: If the heart is as clear as ice, the sky will not fall. The mind remains calm in the face of change. The spirit is happy and the breath is calm. Do not get stained by dust and dirt, and do not be stained by worldly things...
Food recipes include: mung beans, eggplant...
Local governments should keep backup copies, print and distribute the secrets free of charge, and make canned food to provide to all Chinese people!
Finally, all the people of the country, the hot weapons have been silenced, but we still have people! We still have a burning fighting spirit!
We must evolve, awaken, release the terrifying power contained in our genes, and embark on the path to transcendence!
You are a genius, why don’t you ascend to the ninth heaven!
In the process of eliminating zombies, sacrifice and death are inevitable, but more extraordinary people will emerge among us. They will carry the will of all their compatriots and continue to fight the zombies until they retake human territory, until... they die!
Fellow countrymen! Stand with the country! Achieve extraordinary achievements! Fight against zombies together! "
…
Hu Shou's words were so deafening that they made everyone listening to the radio buzz with excitement.
It feels like the body has been given a shot of stimulant!
Let all those people who have been hiding from the zombies have light in their eyes and fire in their hearts, and rekindle their will to fight bravely against the enemies!
At this moment, all the Chinese people seemed to sense the extraordinary power contained in their bodies. It was so tempting, waiting for them to be activated, waiting for all the Chinese people to achieve extraordinary things, eliminate the zombies, and take back their homes!
"Finally... this passage will be replayed repeatedly in the next week. Please be sure to tell all our compatriots!"
“Sssssssss~!”
Shen Jin and his companions were shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time.
The tide of zombies in the distance is getting closer and closer, and the zombies running on the periphery can already be seen.
The big-headed zombie in the middle of the team saw the wall blocking the road in the distance, and waved his hand. The two huge zombies with bulging bellies behind him walked forward, trampling several ordinary zombies to death on the road, and then licked the corpses with their huge tongues and swallowed them. Their bellies became rounder again, and they opened their huge mouths and aimed at the tall wall in the distance...
