After Zhang Yi and the others returned to the shelter, they sat down in the living room to rest
The women in the family were kind enough to serve hot drinks and food to help them replenish their strength
Zhou Ke 'er stood behind Zhang Yi and gently massaged him to relieve the pressure
But this time although successfully fought off the corpse tide, Zhang Yi's face but no light color
Instead, a cloud of suspicion shrouded his heart, making him look worried
Such expression, let is giggling and uncle you bragging Xu Fatty Feel Strange
"Boss, why don't You Look Happy?"
We all found Zhang Yi's expression is not right, have cast a concerned look
"Yeah, what are you thinking? You look so serious."
"If there is any problem, we can discuss it together."
Zhang Yi looked up at everyone. He took a deep breath and explained:
"We took out more than half of the herd yesterday, but the number of walkers is much higher today than it was yesterday."
"It shows that the virus is spreading so quickly that those who are likely to die become zombies."
"If that's the case, sooner or later the city will be completely overrun by zombies! I can't imagine how we will live then."
Zhang Yi's words made the smiles on everyone's faces disappear
The crowd bowed their heads in contemplation, with the same worried expression on their faces
Yang Xinxin was sitting in a wheelchair. She took a sip of her cappuccino and said,
"But it's not obvious yet. Otherwise, they wouldn't be sending thousands of walkers to attack us at a Time!"
"But," she said with a rare serious expression, "If we can't find out the truth about these zombies, they will definitely become a big trouble in the future."
Lu Keran let out a long sigh
"If only it were summer now! Those zombies would all rot and turn into skeletons."
"The most frightening thing is not their numbers, but the fact that they seem to have operators, so they are not mindless monsters," Zhang said
"Plus they're hard to kill and can only be burned or dismembered, which adds to the problem of solving them."
Yang Xinxin said: "So the most important thing is to solve the operator behind them?"
Zhang Yi smiled: "That's easy to say! Where to find? Every time we kill half, they ran away."
"I can't even tell if there's a handler in the herd. After all, powers are..."
Zhang Yi spread his hands. "It's full of uncertainty. It's hard for anyone to use common sense to deduce."
They are even less likely to travel to the depths of the subway to investigate
There must be more walkers there
Even if their fighting strength is exceptionally strong, but unless necessary, Zhang Yi will not leave the sanctuary of protection
Just as everyone was talking, Zhou Ke'er, who was standing behind Zhang Yi, spoke softly
"Actually, I have a theory."
Zhang Yi subconsciously looked up at the back of the neck, but the line of sight was covered by two curves, did not see Zhou Ke'er face
"Oh?"
Zhang Yi gestured for Zhou to continue
Normally, as a doctor, Zhou Keer was not directly involved in the battle plan
However, this time, her professionalism as a doctor was evident
She knows more about the virus than anyone in the sanctuary
So what she has to say can be useful
Encouraged by Zhang, Zhou said:
"I've been studying the bodies of zombies for the past two days, and I did find some weird virus-like stuff."
"It can withstand extreme cold, can even survive at minus 100 degrees Celsius, and can invade the nerves of living things and control the body."
"But..."
Zhou ke'er frowned slightly
"It doesn't fit the definition of a virus in modern biology. It's built between a virus and a cell, more like a cell, but able to take over the host's body like a virus and control and reproduce."
Zhang Yi as a post-graduation knowledge to throw away the scum, listen to the clouds in the fog
"Ke 'er, can you keep it simple?"
Only a handful of people in the house could understand Zhou Ke'er's words
At least three men had no idea
Zhou ke'er smiled sheepishly
"After the apocalypse, biology was redefined by gamma rays. Let's just call it a zombie virus."
"In a nutshell, it shows the behaviour of some colonies and even social animals."
"When walkers are in a herd, they act consistently and even show some intelligence."
"But the body parts studied in the lab are showing a decline in reproductive instinct and stress."
"So I suspect that this virus could be controlled in a way that is similar to a biological population, where the mother of the virus could somehow control them remotely."
Zhang Yi sat up straight from the sofa, "Remote Control?"
Zhou Ke 'er quickly waved her hand. "Of course, it doesn't mean that it's very far away. For example, animals can transmit messages through smell. And this kind of mutated virus must also have their own ways of transmitting messages."
Zhang Yi said: "You mean that as long as the mother killed, these infected zombies will also die?"
Zhou ke'er shook her head
"It's hard to say. At least it won't be like this, able to act on a large scale and with a certain amount of intelligence."
Wisdom!
These two words in the mind of Zhang Yi as the General Thunder sounded!
His eyes lit up, and he finally realized the reason for that strange feeling!
"I think I understand something!"
He interposed his hand and explained to the crowd, "Have you noticed that the attacks of the corpse tide these past two days seem to be fierce and intelligent?"
"But in fact, the herd is very naive, and always choose to retreat after the death of a part of the Walkers."
"It just feels like a two-or three-year-old learning to speak slowly. It can only be done slowly, word by word."
Zhang Yi said so, we also feel very reasonable
The herd still looks stupid and won't scatter even when attacked by a flamethrower
But just know to avoid Zhang Yi dimensional door, and in the sense that things are not good when choose to run away
He had wisdom, but not much
"Wait a minute, Zhang Yi! I think I know what you're talking about."
The person who spoke was Liang Yue
She folded her arms, her eyes full of caution
"You mean we could be dealing with intelligent zombies."
"It could be that the mutation occurred after human death, or that the mutated virus took over the human body and became the mother."
"In short, it has just acquired intelligence and is still learning how humans fight."
In Zhang's mind, such speculation is likely
That kind of fighting method doesn't seem like a normal human, but it's not completely brainless
"If there is such a thing, it would be called the corpse king."
"After all, we have identified two conditions for acquiring powers. One is near death, and the other is the stimulation of something like a soul of ice."
"Then it is not impossible to acquire powers after death."
A brief flashback occurred in Zhang Yi's mind, and he didn't tell anyone the secret.
