Chapter 149 The end of the world where everyone is in danger(1/2)
Fang Heng sat calmly in front of the sickbed, and did not show mercy and sympathy because of Cao Nian's injuries at this time. He just told Cao Nian slowly. Just like a machine that conveyed orders, his voice was empty and without emotion. However, his voice without any emotion made Cao Nian feel comfortable because it was very "Fang Heng".
"So, that intermediate zombie lord is still not destroyed?"
Cao Nian looked up at a medical surgical lamp above his head. Although he couldn't see clearly what was happening in front of him, the hazy light made him feel extremely uncomfortable. He just took a look and then closed his eyes. But even so, the light still passed through his eyelids and stimulated his retinal nerves.
"Well, there are more than a dozen RPGs, two UV light-energy bombs, but they just seriously injured it. It eventually escaped and we couldn't stop it."
Fang Heng suddenly stretched out his hand and turned off the surgical light. Cao Nian felt a little relaxed at this time.
"Oh." Cao Nian sighed, "The monster with two thousand rewards - it's really heart-wrenching,"
Although Cao Nian expected this result, he still felt regretful when he heard it with his own ears. He finally encountered a pie falling from the sky, but it fell into a stinking ditch. If the Shura team members came, I was afraid they could easily settle it, but these hungry skinny guys could only stare at it...
I'm really a little unwilling to accept it.
“Is there no good news?”
After listening to Fang Heng's words, Cao Nian had a basic understanding of the team's situation.
First of all, the casualties of the team.
In general, after experiencing this test, the current situation of the team is quite considerable. It is worth mentioning that except for him as the captain, no other team members were injured, but unfortunately, Cao Nian, as one of the main combat powers of the team, cannot recover in a short period of time. Burns in the skin and internal injuries of the internal organs did not affect Cao Nian's combat power much, because as long as his head was still awake, he could use awakening power, but the burns in his eyes were very serious, which basically made him lose the ability to fight. Unless he had the ability to listen to the voice and defend his position, the awakening power could not perfectly control his weapons, and his strength would be greatly reduced.
Maybe this is his own fate. It's really unlucky. In the last trial, he had to be a deaf man for a few minutes. Unexpectedly, this trial had just begun and he became blind again. It's really a blessing to say that. Although he was filled with emotion, Cao Nian quickly accepted the reality - he really had no way to fight now. Cao Nian had no choice but to expect Chu Jianqing to have the ability to rejuvenate.
Secondly, that is, the completion status of the "side mission" mentioned above.
The zombie lord escaped with injuries and disappeared. Cao Nian secretly thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt. He thought that they missed the opportunity and did not kill the guy on the spot, which could be said to be endless troubles. If it recovered one day, it would come back to settle the score with them, and at that time, it would probably not be as easy as this time. With the amazing speed and strength of the monster, Cao Nian could not think of any kind of hot weapon that could shoot him and cause damage to him.
"Good news - of course there is." Fang Heng picked up the steaming strong chocolate coffee in his hand, touched the cup carefully with his lips, and then took a sip.
Cao Nian was lying on the hospital bed, helpless about this cold-faced guy. Although he knew Fang Heng was delaying time, what could he do? Anyway, he couldn't move now.
Fang Heng sucked Cao Nian's appetite and slowly put down the cup in his hand. He said, "After my research last night, I found that the viruses in these zombies are very terrible infectious, which can not only be transmitted through blood, but also through the air."
"Are you teasing me? What good news is this? Will we always wear this mask when we fight zombies in the future?!"
"If we hadn't worn an oxygen mask yesterday, we would have probably been dead and mutation." Fang Heng said, "Isn't this good news to know the mechanism of the spread of this virus and its pathogenicity?
"Whether it's good news or not - by the way, is this virus so powerful?"
"Um."
"Is there a way to solve it now?"
"What?"
"Can you develop a cure for this virus? For example, vaccines or something?"
"Are you serious?" Fang Heng looked at Cao Nian, with a shocked tone, "Do you know how long it takes to develop a virus vaccine? You think I am, and ask me about the vaccine! Although I know some knowledge about viruses, I have a specialty in my profession. This is a theorem in the modern scientific community - if I, a virology layman, can develop a virus, then the world will not have become like this."
"Although I was a little disappointed when I heard you say this, it seems to make sense. Haha, this is really worth being happy. It turns out that there are things you can't do. I thought you were an omnipotent dormitory..."
"Dog Cat? What is that?"
“···”
New York City consists of Manhattan, Bronx, Kings, Queens, and Statue Island.
New York, known as one of the world's three major financial centers, was originally a paradise for the rich, especially on Wall Street, where wealthy giants with assets exceeding tens of millions abound. However, most of these people do not live in New York City, but in Long Island, New York.
Because Long Island is far away from the city, and the beautiful environment and good security here are very different from ordinary residences in other areas. Therefore, Long Island is the preferred residential living area for the wealthy people in New York. There are countless luxury houses here, and the prices are often millions of dollars or even tens of millions of dollars. Historically, many well-known wealthy people have a large number of excellent real estate here, such as the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family.
In addition, there are also many residential areas in Manhattan area near Central Park, and they are also valuable.
Compared with the first two, some villas scattered across the outskirts of New York City seem ordinary.
Cao Nian and his friends are now in an ordinary villa on the outskirts of New York City.
Although this villa seems a bit small compared to the independent manor I saw last night, if it is real, this place is a luxury dream that ordinary people like Cao Nian will never have in their entire lives. Or Cao Nian never thought that one day they could live in a villa and drive a luxury car... There is no way, poor people, short ambitions, horses and long hairs are mentioned, which is like Cao Nian, who is tortured by reality.
The villa in a district has been abandoned for a long time and fled here overnight. Fang Heng and others were busy all night. Only after eliminating the traces of the ground they left along the way could they take a little rest.
Of course, there were also people who didn’t sleep all night.
For example, Fang Heng.
Fang Heng studied the virus all night. He conducted a series of in-depth examinations on the zombie caught by Zhang Yang, from blood sample analysis, physical sign detection, bones, and even bone marrow. If it weren't for the test, Fang Heng would probably dissect the bound zombie alive. When he worked, he forgot to eat and sleep. From his stern appearance, those who didn't know might think they were treating the zombie. Although Fang Heng verbally said that he was just an amateur virology, his eyes betrayed him - perhaps because the study of the virus brought Fang Heng a sense of satisfaction that could not be described in words. This guy looked very energetic, his eyes were bright, and he did not look tired at all because of staying up late.
Sure enough, are scientists all stubborn lunatics?
Cao Nian thought this in his heart, but he didn't say a word.
In addition to Fang Heng, Chu Jianqing and Xu Nuo were also busy all night. However, Chu Jianqing and Xu Nuo were different from Fang Heng. It was actually a bit reluctant to say that they didn't sleep all night, because they took turns to take care of Cao Nian. In the first half of the night, Chu Jianqing made a plaster and bandaged Cao Nian. After four or five hours, he finally curbed Cao Nian's burns and did not continue to worsen. However, the damage to his internal and external muscles still takes time to recover, and he needs both internal and external medicines, which is another troublesome thing. However, things have to be done step by step, and the medicine has to be underground little by little. Chu Jianqing is well aware of this, so he is not in a hurry to take large doses of medicine, just afraid that it will aggravate Cao Nian's injuries.
In the second half of the night, Xu Nuo was staying by Cao Nian's side.
When Zoro rode Harley Motorcycle to bring Cao Nian out of the zombies, the woman said nothing, but she had tears in her eyes. In the second half of the night, Cao Nian seemed to have a fever and kept talking in her sleep. Although she saw his lips trembling slightly, she couldn't hear what this guy was saying. There was no way, Xu Nuo could only give him a cold compress to relieve his fever, while bored guessing the content of his murmur, just thinking it was a joy in suffering.
In this way, it was ten o'clock in the morning.
Cao Nian finally woke up, and her words were yelling, "Don't leave me", which surprised Xu Nuo and a little happy. However, after Cao Nian woke up, she remained silent and just watched from the side.
Fang Heng told Cao Nian everything in full.
"So that's how it is--" Cao Nian lay on the hospital bed. After knowing everything, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The situation was much better than he expected.
Other than himself, others are still safe.
This is enough, yes, it should be said to be very good.
"Do you have any plans next?" Cao Nian asked.
"Search for survivors," said Fang Heng. "Last night, when we approached New York City, we received the source mission. And this time, it was not a side mission, but a main mission."
"Is that true?!" Cao Nian said in surprise, "Survivor? So, there are humans in New York City! Otherwise, the source would not have issued such a test."
Such news is undoubtedly exciting.
Imagine you and your friends wandering on a deserted island where poisonous insects and beasts are everywhere, life is difficult and dangerous everywhere. But one day, the voice of God suddenly came from the sky, and he said, "Child, go find the human tribe on the island, where you can live a stable life." It's so bright! Thank God! Cao Nian exclaimed in his heart, it seems that they don't have to fight alone!
It is said that there are many people and great power. If they can find a team of survivors, they might be able to do a big vote in New York. Of course, these are all later stories.
"Don't be too happy too early." Fang Heng said, "Even if humans survive, they may not be our friends. In this doomsday, humans may be more dangerous than zombies!"
"Why?"
Cao Nian felt that Fang Heng's words were illogical.
Since humans are on the verge of extinction, they will naturally be more united than before! Why will they become more dangerous?
"People's hearts are unpredictable," said Fang Heng. "Without the constraints of public opinion and law, human beings may show various personalities - some will think what you think and seek harmony and mutual assistance, but some will have a strong desire for possessiveness and domination, and some will even become crazy."
Cao Nian suddenly realized.
indeed.
If someone told you that you only have one day left in your life, what would you do in the last 24 hours?
This is an interesting question.
Many people have already discussed this.
A literary youth said that the last day was of course to be with their beloved person, watching the sunrise and setting on the top, looking at the surrounding scenery in the Ferris wheel, kissing in it, and then having an elegant candlelight dinner to give her the best memory with the most pleasant wine. When the end of the world comes, they will hold hands and usher in death in the affectionate gaze of each other. For ordinary people who are used to ordinary life, their last madness may be just a meal with their family and a walk, and relieve their grudges of the years. The children say thank you to their white-haired parents in tears, and these old people are also crying. Of course, some late-stage patients who love games and animation are probably still trying to make up for the show at the end.
However, some people think that the above are impossible. They believe that if the world wants to be destroyed, it will first fall into madness. Because human nature has been silent for too long under the oppression of so-called "civilization" and "rationality" - and once the end of the world comes and the social order collapses, the emotions accumulated in the deepest part of the heart will naturally burst out without hesitation.
The angry people will vent their emotions freely: Party B who works overtime and vomits blood may beat Party A who is never satisfied to make a living; those who have grudges will pick up their knives or hunting rifles to have a "man showdown" to solve the anger in their hearts with real swords and guns; and neighborhood disputes that never end will end will end with one party's death...
In the movie "Purge of Humanity", everyone is dangerous during a specific period of time when "killing is not illegal".
···
This is how people are, they are too many changes.
At different times in a person's life, he may play various roles, and no one knows how many people maintain the kind nature of human beings in this apocalypse.
If the survivors entrenched in New York City are a group of thugs, then there is one more enemy.
"Oh, so this matter needs to be discussed for a long time." Cao Nian said with his eyes closed, "When will we plan to act?"
"Tomorrow - the day after tomorrow, the map One of Brooklyn and Manhattan has been drawn. Maps for the other two areas will take some time."
"Um."
"Considering that there may be powerful zombies in New York City, I plan to send the No. 2 to detect it tonight and find out the loss here."
"very good."
"Is there anything else I want to know?"
"No more - by the way, don't take special care of me anymore. Let Xu Nuo and Chu Jianqing rest."
"good."
"Oh, and also, find a piece of cloth to cover my eyes. Anyway, I can't see things clearly, but I can still feel a kind of light."
"no problem."
"Then let it be, you all go."
"good."
