Chapter II Preparations
"This body is still too weak!"
Zhang Ping'an stood in the elevator, rubbing his wrists, thinking about something.
In his previous life, before the virus broke out, he was just a white-collar worker working from nine to five. He lacked exercise for a long time and his muscles were loose. However, in the next three years, he kept running and fighting, which quickly improved his abilities. This survival test of facing death was a thousand times more cruel than the training of any special forces in the world. At the same time, he also deeply integrated his combat awareness into his bloodline.
The jumping and pushing down Liu Wencai just now was due to this combat instinct, but he obviously did not consider that his current body was not enough to support him in making these movements. His muscle strength and flexibility were insufficient, which caused a little strain on his arm muscles.
"We must speed up exercise and improve our physical fitness within one month. Although there is no problem in protecting ourselves within seven days, zombies will become stronger and stronger, and one mistake may lead to death!"
Seven days, yes, only seven days!
In his previous life, Zhang Ping'an, as the captain of the data communication team, was exposed to a lot of analytical data about viruses. A large number of scientists studied day and night and came to a conclusion: the virus had spread to every corner of the world through various channels long before it broke out, and all living things in the world were infected. This virus directly acts on genes and lurks in organisms. It did not explode in full due to some triggering mechanism.
Take humans as an example. The world's population of 7 billion, about 50% of people resist the virus through their own exemption system, and the other 3.5 billion humans have become zombies. The zombies that have just mutated are about the same power as normal adults, and their speed is only 60% of adults, but when they explode with all their strength, their power and speed double.
Humans bitten by zombies will become zombies after twenty minutes and cannot be cured.
Zombies undergo alienation in a cycle of geometric multiples of seven. On the first seventh day, about 30% of some zombies that have swallowed human flesh and blood will undergo primary alienation, with their strength and speed about 1.5 times the previous one. At the same time, the functions of zombies that failed to alienate begin to weaken in all aspects until their bodies completely decay and completely disappear in about a month.
After 49 days, 15%-18% of primary alienated zombies will mutate again in two directions, and some of the strength will increase significantly, becoming P1 type zombies (POWERs) with the power of 10-12 adults. The other part becomes very terrifying, called S1 type zombies (SPEED).
Then 343 days later, about 3%-5% of P1 and S1 further mutated into "Destroyer" P2 and "Reaper" S2...
Infection - lurking - triggering - corpse transformation - constantly alienation and becoming stronger!
With Zhang Ping'an's skills in his previous life, he could also face and kill two primary zombies at the same time through his skills, but when he encountered P1, he could only escape. As for S1, he would only be killed instantly!
As for the Destroyer and Reaper? Zhang Ping'an was shuddered just by thinking about it. They were the minions of the god of death!
Compared with zombies, a few humans will also evolve some special abilities when stimulated by viruses. The emergence of these evolvers broke the old pattern. They united to overthrow the original dark rule and stepped on ordinary humans with darker means. In the words of the evolvers, "On the road of evolution, you are the abandoned gods, the food for cannon fodder and zombies!"
Like most people, Zhang Ping'an has no evolution and is an ordinary human being. Even if he is good at it and proficient in communication technology, he can only survive.
Rebirth, Zhang Ping'an knew very well that his body was no different from his previous life. He was destined to be the so-called "God abandoner". If you want to control your own destiny, you must make full use of every minute and every second to make yourself stronger, stronger, and stronger!
After finally living again, how can you endure humiliation and watch the world be destroyed!
A hint of cruelty flashed across Zhang Ping'an's face. The end of the world has its own dark laws. Whoever dares to stand in front of him must perish!
What he relies most now on is the resource data in his memory, as well as an immature virus research report deliberately concealed by the evolved ones - God-abandoned ones can also evolve!
There is only one opportunity. Everyone in the previous life missed the opportunity. Whether this life can be successful will be known in seven days!
After thinking all the way, Zhang Ping'an successfully found Fatty Liu's car, started the car, and the BMW 750 rushed out.
Driving the car, Zhang Ping'an took out the phone and found the familiar number. He was stunned for a moment before he pulled the number.
Listening to the call sounds coming from the phone, Zhang Ping'an was very nervous and his heartbeat accelerated.
The phone was quickly connected, and a voice from Ticge came, "Are you safe?"
Hearing these simple words, Zhang Ping'an's tears flowed down in an instant. Who said men would not cry easily? Who said that people's hearts in the end of the world were as iron and stone? At this moment, Zhang Ping'an felt that the softest part of his heart seemed to be kneaded, sour and astringent.
Mother!
Zhang Ping'an's father was gone when he was in junior high school. His mother worked as the head nurse in a county people's hospital thousands of miles away from Jiangcheng City. After her father was gone, she kept guarding her son for not remarrying. She devoted herself to supporting her son to high school, college, and found a job. Then she waited for her son to get married, have a child, and waited to take care of her grandson. However, after she went out to college and work, she could go home all year round. The virus broke out in her previous life. Zhang Ping'an escaped from the city with a convoy and did not return to the county town. Naturally, she didn't know about her mother's life and death. This became an eternal pain in his heart!
"Mom!" Zhang Ping'an shouted in a low voice.
He made up his mind that he would rescue his mother this time and would let her survive safely no matter what.
Zhang Ping'an's mother seemed to hear the other party's tone was wrong. She didn't know what happened, so she asked urgently, "Ping'an, what's wrong?"
Zhang Ping'an took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and slowed down his voice, "Mom, son is fine, don't worry." After a pause, he said slowly, "You must remember what I say to you now. Don't think your son is joking!"
Before the other party could reply, Zhang Ping'an said word by word, "Mom, you go out immediately, take a taxi to the supermarket to buy rice, flour, vegetables, eggs, ham sausages that you can eat for one month, and rush home before 5 pm. Remember, it is before 5 pm this afternoon. Then lock the doors and windows. No matter what happens outside, no matter who calls the door, don't open it. Wait until I go home ten days later... Mom, don't ask me why, do it immediately, remember not to panic, there is still plenty of time. Even if there is nothing to do tonight, it won't hinder anything. Just listen to your son, please! I'll go home in ten days at most ten days!"
Regardless of whether my mother believed it or not, Zhang Ping'an gave instructions and comforted her again and again. He said it several times and hung up the phone after confirming that my mother heard it clearly.
Although he was very anxious and wanted to put his wings on his face immediately, Zhang Ping'an also knew that without strong self-protection ability, he was not enough to gain a foothold in the end of the world, let alone protect his family and live a good life.
Seven days later, if you can gain evolutionary abilities, it will determine whether you can gain a foothold in the end of the world, calculate the time, finish the work, and then rush home!
Now you need to be fully prepared to increase your chances of winning for that only chance.
After the phone was called, the car was parked at the door of the self-service bank. It was just past twelve o'clock at noon. There were a lot of people queuing up in front of the ATM to withdraw money. The yellow haired man with a cigarette in his mouth pressed the whole thing on the ATM machine for a long time before he took out more than 1,000 yuan from a card and put it in his bag. He then drew out another card to stuff it into the ATM.
Zhang Ping'an was impatient and walked up to him, holding the man holding the cigarette, and pulled him aside.
Facing the bank security guard standing beside him and the man holding a cigarette with a glaring gag, he pointed to the BMW outside and threw away, "Did you see that car? I just robbed it."
The two of them hesitated and stopped moving.
Zhang Ping'an sneered and took out the money in his account for only 10,000 yuan in total. Unfortunately, he didn't know Liu's bank card password, so that guy must have hundreds of thousands in his account. Fortunately, he still had more than 2,000 cash in his wallet.
There are less than 14,000 in total, although not much, but it is enough to do a lot of things.
The security guard and the man holding the cigarette saw Zhang Ping'an's account balance and looked at the BMW 750Li parked outside the bank, which was a little dumbfounded.
Of course, they didn't know that even the best car would be a piece of scum in a few hours. They watched Zhang Ping'an drive away An Juechen, cursing but helpless.
Drive to the largest shopping mall in Jiangcheng City, first go to the 6th floor sports and outdoor hall, and buy a few soft shells, windbreaker jackets and a pair of waterproof work boots that you can't beat. Don't underestimate these clothes. If you use them well, it works better than armor.
Then I chose several sets of straight-handled knives, two German-made Damascus steel slicers and serrated meat cutters. German knives are expensive, and two more than 20 cm long knives cost more than 5,000 yuan, but you don’t have to worry about breaking or rolling the mouth of this kind of knives.
After leaving the mall, Zhang Ping'an only had more than 6,000 yuan in his hand. More than an hour passed. He threw the things he bought in the back seat of the car and drove to a nearby large supermarket.
There is no need to prepare too much food, it’s enough to eat it alone for half a month. Zhang Yi didn’t think about staying at home. He casually swept some biscuits, chocolate, instant noodles, ham sausages, barrel oil, etc. on the shelves. He also packed a bag of rice in a cart, and then left the supermarket with a dozen kilograms of pork and beef.
After leaving the supermarket, another half an hour passed. Zhang Ao felt that there was not enough time, so he bought a few buckets of water at the water station, and then rushed to the building materials market to buy a galvanized steel pipe, which made people cut into four 1.5 meters long. Taking this time, he went to several stores and bought several large plastic pots, a large roll of rope and ten kilograms of aluminum heater.
By the time Zhang Ping'an filled the plastic pot with gasoline, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
On the way, I called to confirm that my mother had returned home. Zhang Ping'an was a little happy. After a few words, he drove straight to the last stop: the farmers' market.
The farmers' market was in chaos. Starting from around 3 pm, the chickens and ducks that were usually slaughtered seemed to be crazy and stopped for a moment. Several chicken vendors looked at each other, thinking that this batch of chickens had avian flu or some strange disease.
It was not until he saw Zhang Ping'an driving a BMW to buy live chickens that the chicken vendors at the farmers' market breathed a sigh of relief. This guy bought all the chickens in one go with a cage that was used to hold chickens, but he didn't even bring a killer chicken to scatter the feathers.
"Where are the chickens placed?" The chicken vendor was a little troubled.
Zhang Ping'an opened the trunk and "stood inside."
Awesome!
The chicken vendor twitched his mouth and stuffed five or six cages covered with chicken feathers and chicken poop, along with more than 30 roosters and hens, into the car.
After all this, there was only one hour left until six o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang Ping'an calculated the itinerary. If there was no traffic jam on the road, he would be able to get home in thirty minutes.
Often, the more I don’t want to come, the more I come. When I was five minutes away from Renle Road, the road was blocked. Zhang Ping'an looked forward and saw that two women were quarreling and fighting. Passers-by said that the two women were mistresses and Xiao Si of a real estate developer. Today, they met downstairs. The enemy was jealous. The mistress held Xiao Si with the car. Xiao Si was not showing any weakness and stepped on the accelerator and pushed Xiao San’s car around. It was turned off in the middle of the road and could not move.
Zhang Ping'an saw that the two women were catching and biting, and he could be compared with the primary alienated zombies.
"What's the matter!"
Looking at the watch, Zhang Ping'an shook his head and started the car directly. When he stepped on the accelerator, the car accelerated with a bang, rubbed the bodies of the cars blocked in front of him, and ran straight towards the two women in the middle of the road.
The two women who were struggling together heard the sound, turned their heads, and suddenly saw the car rushing towards them. They screamed and ran aside desperately.
Bang!
The BMW crashed head-on to the front of the red Hyundai car in the middle of the road. With a huge roar, the Hyundai car was hit to the side of the road. The front window glass was shattered, and the wheels pulled out a deep tire mark on the ground.
In the violent impact, Zhang Ping'an's car trunk shook open, a chicken cage flew out, fell to the ground and kept rolling. Three or four chickens rushed out of the cracked chicken cage, clamoring, rushing with their wings, crossing the human wall, flew to death, leaving behind a mess.
The two women who forgot to fight and everyone on the road were stunned when they looked at the amazing scene, looking at the car that was quickly leaving.
Chapter completed!
