Survival [End Times]

At the foot of the mountain, the military dependents area is guarded by a layer of soldiers with guns. This is the first line of defense of the military base on the mountainside. Usually, no one dares to come here. The workers who went to work in the processing plant on the mountain used to be trembling every day when they went to and from work. They were checked every time and trembled when they looked at the guns.

In the evening, no one usually came to the place, and no one came. After the military dependents who got off work came back from outside, there was no one at all.

So the guarding soldiers looked at the figure walking slowly in front of them and were a little confused. When the figure came to the range, he raised his gun and shouted: "Who is it? Take out the pass!"

The man raised his hands and slowly bent down--

This action is very common, but the soldiers felt it was a bit weird. After looking carefully, they found that the man said he was squatting, but it was better to say he was bending down. His legs were straight without any curvature.

At this time, the man had put down the transparent bag in his hand and turned away.

The soldier exchanged glances with the others: "Go and see what that is. We can't just pile it there." From a distance, it looked like a glass bottle. If it broke and hurt someone, it would be bad.

Picked it up and looked at it. It was indeed several glass tubes.

"Huh?" There was obviously a piece of paper in the transparent bag. The handwriting was square, just like the words written by a child. It said:

Don't throw it away. This is the zombie virus vaccine.

The word vaccine was bolded and squeezed into his eye sockets.

He reported the things to his superiors, but it would not be taken so seriously. After all, if every time he received something without a history, he would bother the professors and experts in the institute who worked so hard to check them one by one, it would be too unrealistic.

But the person who put the things down walked slowly and was soon caught up. He didn't listen to the shouting or reply, but just walked forward. After stopping him, he tore off his mask and almost scared him to kneel down.

How could that be a person? Except for the pair of weird eyes, his whole body was covered with straw.

Urgent report.

But before the research could figure out the reason, the big scarecrow turned into a small scarecrow on the test bed and disappeared.

Because of this strange and mysterious origin, these ten glass tubes were sent for research and were studied in a serious manner.

After getting rid of this worry, Yu Heng and Zhang Henghui went out again.

This second outbreak of the zombie virus has left many positions vacant, but it is not easy for Zhang Henghui to work outside at present. If someone finds out that it is inappropriate and is caught for research, she will be dead.

Originally, Yu Heng started to find a new job, but later found that Zhang Henghui was alone at home and her mental state was getting worse and worse, so she decisively resigned and took her out to kill zombies.

They did not go far, just to the nearby town.

Zombies seemed endless. There were so many hunting groups, elimination teams in the safe zone, and other sporadic hunting teams... But there were always zombies outside the safe zone, and there was never a day when they were completely cleared.

For example, the nearest town was the first place to be cleared by the army of the safe zone, but until now, there are still zombies there.

The hunting team naturally looked down on that place - there were few zombies of low level, no supplies at all, and if they went there, they couldn't even earn back the gas money.

From the changes in this small town, we can see the general trend of the world:

If you can see satellite images, you can see the trajectory of the zombies' movement. The living space of the people in the city is constantly squeezed. As they flee, the zombies also move with the food.

According to this trend, even if the bases of the safe zones do not send troops into the city to eliminate them, those cities will slowly become empty cities, because those zombies are all coming to the human gathering places.

Zhang Henghui said to Yu Heng during a chat: "I don't know how long it will take to kill all the zombies."

"There will definitely be a day when they are all killed." Yu Heng firmly believed. In the previous mission, all the zombies in the world were finally killed. This world may take more effort, but humans are endless, and there will always be that day.

At the end of spring, the research institute of the safe zone finally found a clue. These vaccines are really exquisite, but only six ingredients are confirmed, and the other dozens are still unknown.

However, no matter how difficult it is, we must persist, because after testing, this is indeed a good medicine that can save humans on the verge of zombieization.

There is no other way, so we have to contact the capital, hoping that they can provide a team of experts for rescue and joint research.

In mid-June, the safe zone received news that a plane from the capital crashed in Linnan City, and asked Lutong to send troops to rescue.

Yu Heng saw with his own eyes that a car of military green rushed to Linnan City, and then one evening, the narrow sunset pulled by the setting sun showed a dark red, and a team of vehicles came to the gate of Lutong safe zone, bringing the news that the experts from the capital and the expatriates of Lutong safe zone were annihilated.

After entering the zone, Zhang Henghui parked the car on the side of the road, and watched the team of vehicles drive in one by one with Yu Heng, and then drove towards the direction of the Housing Authority.

"This group of people is quite powerful."

This convoy has 17 vehicles, all of which are modified and orderly. The first car to enter quietly parked on the side of the road, and then left in an orderly manner after the whole team came in.

The arrival of this group of people in Lutong should increase the strength of the safe zone.

It was not until five days later that Yu Heng heard the news from Huang Zhongliang. It turned out that the group of people who came in that day were big shots. They saved the people in the Lutong safe zone and the group of experts on the way. After that, other soldiers died in battle one after another, and they helped to send the people back.

"Damn it, now the people above are fighting fiercely, and everyone wants to pull those people into their own camp."

What Yu Heng is concerned about is: "All the people sent out to pick up the experts are gone?"

"Yes." Huang Zhongliang sighed: "It is said that they encountered zombie dogs, all of which were level five or six. After escaping, they encountered level nine zombies. Level nine!"

This is the highest level of zombies in theory in the research direction of the institute. So far, the safe zone has only announced level eight zombies, and that was last year.

"It is said that it is invulnerable to swords and guns, and only people with superpowers can hurt it a little." Huang Zhongliang suddenly thought of something, "Do you and your sister still go out to kill zombies often?" He couldn't understand why the other party was not in the safe safe zone and had to go out to kill zombies.

Seeing Yu Heng nod, he said: "Don't go out yet, it's too dangerous. I heard that the zombie didn't kill it and ran away. If it gets to Lutong, it will be too dangerous."

"I know, thank you."

His ability is now level six, and there is almost no progress after practicing [General Principles of Physical Fitness] to level five. If he really encounters a level nine zombie, he will die.

Go back and discuss with Zhang Henghui. Her mentality has improved a lot now. If she continues to set up a stall in the safe zone, she should not reject the crowd anymore, right?

"Alas, my father-in-law said he wants to retire. He doesn't want to argue with people at his age. My brother-in-law disagrees. There has been a commotion at home recently." Huang Zhongliang is quite supportive. "Now it's so chaotic, it's better to retire at home. It's not good for your health to be angry every day."

In September, the Lutong Safe Zone announced that the research on zombie vaccines has reached a new level, with a 21% success rate in saving zombie patients bitten by zombies.

After the news was released, the entire safety zone was indeed brand new.

Yu Heng and Zhang Henghui heard the news when they came back from the fields. Other people passing by screamed excitedly and even threw the straw in their hands into the sky. The straw fell down again, like ribbons and firecrackers in the festival.

He couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, okay, everyone go get your blood tested first, otherwise the queue will be long when other people get off work."

Blood tests are more convenient now. Because of the large flow of people, the original detector is too time-consuming. The improved detector only needs a drop of blood. If there is a problem, the detector will issue a warning on the spot.

Yu Heng had already taken a portion of Zhang Henghui's blood for experiments three times. After confirming that her blood would not be judged as problematic, he dared to let her go in and out like this.

Zhang Henghui calmly finished the test, walked to the door, picked up her large bundle of straw, and walked home with Yu Heng.

Since they stopped going out, Yu Heng and Zhang Henghui started to think about what to do next. After thinking about it, they thought raising chickens would be a good idea. There were rice fields in the Lutong safety zone, and they heard that they would open up new land outside. It would be a good idea to raise chickens with rice husks. There was still some old rice in the storage ring.

Later, he would go outside to buy rice husks, and Zhang Henghui would feed the chickens at home. Usually, she would not have to worry about being noticed by others. He found that Zhang Henghui was always very tense when getting along with others, and even Qiu Lin, who was very good to her, gradually stopped communicating with her.

Having made up their minds, the two went to look for chicks, bought five to try first, and then raised them one by one and sold them for a good price. After that, they expanded the scale and raised ten chickens, and kept the number within this range.

When the rice harvest season came, Yu Heng went to harvest rice again, and he could pick up some straw every day to feed the chickens.

Zhang Henghui happened to sell this batch of chickens, so she also came to help.

The two returned home, spread the straw to dry, and then used the dried straw to make fire and cook. Since taking this job, the two no longer bought wood and charcoal, saving a lot of money. The straw in the field was recycled, but it was okay for the workers to take a little, as long as it was not too much to drive to.

At mealtime, the safe area was full of smoke from burning fires, and you get used to it after smelling it for a long time.

After boiling boiled eggs and tearing two large pieces of pickled vegetables, the two drank the porridge. The fresh aroma of chicken soup came from the kitchen, and Zhang Henghui went into the kitchen from time to time to check the fire.

"Do you think that vaccine is really useful?"

Yu Heng himself didn't know, after all, he didn't know which world the thing was made in, and he didn't know to what extent the people in the institute had studied it. But a success rate of 21% is pretty good.

"There should be."

"Then, I wonder if a preventive vaccine can be developed? I just heard that it is used after being bitten... But if there is a preventive vaccine, wouldn't it be better?"

This smart woman knows everything, but she doesn't dare to ask and embarrass him. Yu Heng didn't want her to think too much: "Sister, I will be fine."

Zhang Henghui: "But how can such things be certain... I'm really scared! If the last zombie virus outbreak happens again, what will you do?"

She has long regarded herself as a living dead, but her brother is still young. When she thinks of him living with corpse spots like herself, she feels heartbroken.

"Don't worry, even if there is, I will be fine. Look, I was fine last time, wasn't I?"

Yu Heng changed the subject:

"Tomorrow I'm going to the market to buy chicks. Which store should I go to? Or the same store as before?" They tried to hatch the chicks themselves, but the chicks they hatched were not very good, so they went out to buy them.

"Go," Zhang Henghui wiped his eyes. "No, it's another store, the one I told you about before, at the intersection of Erlu. The chicks from the previous store are not very good now, so I didn't buy from them last time."

"Oh, okay."

The two drank chicken soup, took a bath, and went to bed separately.
