Section 27 Comparison
Next night, the building began to become very lively.
The hall was filled with survivors rescued from the bath center. They had already changed into clean clothes, lined up to receive food in sequence.
Tao Yuan stood behind a few tables that were temporarily placed, acting as partitions, and used an iron spoon to scoop the steaming porridge into everyone's bowl. The two porridge buckets next to them were filled with very full, with chopped canned meat and oil beads floating in the porridge, emitting an attractive fragrance.
Xinyan and Liao Qiu stood outside the hall. They held automatic rifles full of bullets and watched the crowd more than ten meters away. Once there was anything unusual, they would shoot without hesitation.
According to normal thinking, the rescued people will feel grateful. However, nothing is absolutely true. Su Hao cannot guarantee that every rescued person will obey orders. He only hopes that these people can obey the arrangements and integrate into his team as soon as possible.
Su Hao did not issue weapons to the rescued people, and even confiscated all the things they might have harmed others. These people were placed in the rooms on the inner side of the small building, and the key positions of the staircase corners and corridors were guarded by fully armed team members, and corresponding alert personnel were arranged between each floor. These measures were not redundant. Without sufficient evidence to show that these people are trustworthy, Su Hao would not take any risks.
The location of the outdoor station has been selected, and he needs enough manpower to complete the construction of the house and outer wall before winter comes.
The people in the hall were very abiding by order. There was no chaos or loud noise. They sat at the dining table with bowls of porridge, drinking and talking in a low voice. Some people also helped to do things and pack things.
They all knew very well what was going on, and they also knew that there were hideous zombies everywhere outside. The content of the conversation was nothing more than the horrors that everyone experienced, their views on the current situation, and their concerns about the future.
A middle-aged man with a slightly hunched back took out his cell phone from his arms, leaned close to him, frowned and broadcasted several numbers in succession. Finally, he said with a sad face: "It's still not the government's broadcast, and there is no news."
The thin man next to him rolled up his shirt sleeves, wiped his nose with his thumb, and said to himself, as if he was asking everyone: "Where did those monsters...they came out?"
No one answered, only the sucking sound of drinking porridge.
"Can it be...the Japanese do it?"
A short, fat middle-aged woman held up her glasses that were sliding up and down the bridge of her nose and said uncertainly: "After the nuclear leak of the Fukushima Power Station, the mice there became very large and crazy. Also, the SARS virus was said to have been caused by the Japanese."
"Then why no one has come to rescue him?"
The tall and thin man scoffed at this statement. He raised his voice and retorted: "Where is the army? Where is the police? Even the phone cannot be reached, and suddenly he has cut off contact with the outside world... Do you think this explanation is reasonable? Is it possible?"
"Anyway, I have to go back and have a look. I'll take a few days off here and I'm going to go back to find my family."
A purposeless discussion is destined to have no result.
The disorderly speculation made the already dull atmosphere more depressing. Soon, people left the messy dining table and returned to their respective rooms to rest.
..
The living environment in the small building is very good, with water and electricity. For rescued people who have lived in dirty and dry environments for a long time, this is an extremely luxurious enjoyment.
Standing under the shower head in the bathroom, Cao Rui closed her eyes and let the water flow wash her body. The water splashed constantly on the surface of her smooth skin, flowing downward along the concave curves, gathering under the round ankles, and disappearing at the concave floor drain pipe opening.
Picking up a dry towel from the handrail, pushing open the door covered with water, and breathing a long sigh. The cool air coming to my face stimulated the skin that had just been stimulated by hot water, causing the pores to open. The indescribable comfort made Cao Rui unable to help but want to moan.
"The whole city has almost escaped, and there is still hot water here. You... are really happy."
The person who spoke was Xinyan sitting on the edge of the bed. Recalling his experiences over the past period, Cao Rui was very moved and felt that only the word "happiness" could express his inner feelings at this moment.
Xinyan smiled faintly, pulled over the military backpack placed at the foot of the bed, took out two vacant 5.8mm pistol magazines, and pressed them into the bullets one by one.
She was wearing a loose T-shirt and shorts, revealing most of her perky breasts, sitting cross-legged with slender legs, her hips looked tight, and there was no fat on her waist. Everything was full of the unique youthful vitality of a girl.
"When I cleaned up this building, there were a lot of zombies. It was very dangerous at that time. If it weren't for him, I might have died long ago."
Xinyan's voice was not loud, but he could hear it clearly enough.
Cao Rui picked up the cup containing cold boiled water, took a sip, and looked at Xinyan curiously.
As a mature woman who has had a marriage experience, she can certainly see Xinyan's youthful charm and understand who the "he" is in the words. It is undeniable that as the leader of the team, Su Hao did leave her a very deep impression: handsome, strong, ruthless, and persevering. On the other hand, Xinyan is very young, and has outstanding figure and appearance. Such a pair of men and women have not been alone in a safe and comfortable building for a short time, but they seem to have nothing happened before. This really makes people curious and confused.
Cao Rui does not think that Su Hao is sexually incompetent, or that Xinyan has the same gender hobbies on such issues.
They all silently adhere to the most basic etiquette and rules.
But I met a group of men who were worse than wild animals.
Before he knew it, a faint tears overflowed from the corners of Cao Rui's eyes.
She finally understood a sentence she saw in the lyrical essay collection many years ago.
"Only by comparison can you feel happiness."
..
Opposite the road adjacent to the Trap Courtyard are several high-rise residential buildings with a new appearance and a strong modern design style. The property is located in a good location and the price has also risen. Newspapers and TV advertisements always claim that the empty rooms have been sold out, but no matter who comes to the sales office for consultation, the sales lady always pretends to be careful and mysteriously tells the other party: "There are two empty rooms in Building XX. If you want to buy it, now, immediately, immediately."
From the outside, these buildings are extremely quiet. The empty elevators are darker than the graves. There is no light, and the corridors are filled with a dreadful coolness.
Following the rough cement steps, Su Hao trotted to the third floor. He opened the soft lock of one of the rooms with the key, flashed in, closed the door with his backhand, and tightened the lock. Then he quickly approached the window and carefully observed the outside through the gaps of the drooping curtains. He made sure that no one was following him and there was no abnormality. Then he turned around and turned on the emergency light placed in the corner of the wall.
This is a unfinished room that has not been renovated. There is no furniture in the room, and the curtains are also a few pieces of black cloth that Su Hao got from a nearby shop. The man with three wrists and ankles tightly tied with ropes curled up in the corner of the wall, without saying anything, and not moving.
They were the prisoners that Su Hao captured from the bath center. The rescued people and Cao Rui carefully identified that, like the dead Liu Jiantao, they participated in the violent activities that killed several other women.
The three of them slept on the cold floor without any sense. They were all knocked out, with thick strips of cloth tied in their mouths and unable to move.
Su Hao looked at these people silently and took out a medical glass bottle from his backpack. Under the light blue emergency light, he could see the bottle filled with sticky gray-brown liquid. He inserted the needle of the syringe into the rubber stopper at the bottle's mouth and pulled out about fifteen milliliters. Without alcohol disinfection or cleaning, he directly injected the blood vessels on one of the prisoners' wrists.
Immediately afterwards, there is the second and the third one.
All the prisoners had injected Su Hao's blood. As for the medical glass bottle... the gray liquid inside came from the zombie body. The infection effect of this thing is very significant, with strong diffusivity, and the human body's reaction is even more severe than that of zombie bites.
Using living people to experiment is indeed contrary to morality.
However, thinking about those women who died tragically, doing this is not an exaggeration.
The curtain hanging in front of the window was blown away by the wind, revealing a night sky that looked like ink and paint, and a moon that was curved like eyebrows.
Su Hao put away the medicine bottle and syringe, took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out one to ignite it, took a deep breath, squirted a faint smoke, and silently stared at the natural celestial body closest to the earth.
Today is his birthday.
If I were forty-six years old in the future, and the actual physiological age of this body is no more than twenty years old.
Leaving that time and space means saying goodbye to hatred, sin, past, friends there, and all the people they know.
Many things happened just like yesterday, and are vivid in my mind. This feeling is a bit funny. They actually "have happened", but from a time perspective, it is in the future decades later.
I can never go back.
Those people will never be able to chase after them.
Smoking a cigarette, Su Hao felt inexplicably sad. He wanted to find someone to have a good chat, but there was no one who talked about it. After all, some things can never be said and can only be buried in his heart as secrets.
What is the difference between the future and the past? It does not belong to me. The present is the most important thing.
He lowered his head and the pointer of the watch on his wrist showed that thirty-seven minutes had passed.
The future world's research on zombies has formed a systematic discipline: according to factors such as each person's genes, physique, physical condition, etc., bites or scratches under normal circumstances will have an effect within three to six hours. In other words, people bitten by zombies have no accurate time definition of mutation due to infection. However, zombie fluids with a large number of viruses are different. This kind of thing will cause infection in a short period of time, and the mutation time will not exceed fifteen minutes. Even if you take immune agents after infection, the effective time limit cannot be less than seven minutes and thirty seconds.
The three prisoners breathed lightly and slowly, their body temperature was stable, and there was no sign of elevation. The fingers and facial skin were not dehydrated. The eyelids were opened, the pupils were not dilated, and there was no congestion around them.
At night, the temperature was lower than during the day. The air in the room seemed to become stagnant due to the chill. Su Hao squatted beside the wall, silently staring at the unconscious prisoner of war, holding his right hand in a vague state, keeping ready to attack at any time.
Considering the inertia caused by the low temperature at night to the virus, he waited for ten more minutes.
What's more, the injection dose is more than three times the normal value.
No one turned into a zombie, nor did he find the side effects of physical discomfort by the injected person. All this shows that the previous guess was correct, and a powerful immune gene in his body did produce. Even without the genetic agents made by the future world, this antibody can be transmitted to other people through blood.
Looking at his hands, Su Hao shook his head with a wry smile. He began to understand something. In "Journey to the West", he was caught by a monster and stuffed it into a steamer to prepare a cooked and eaten Tang Monk.
Of course, this kind of experiment still has some deviations and there is no instrument for data analysis. But Su Hao is not going to conduct similar experiments. In addition, Lao Song has actually had four basiss and no more proof is needed.
The fighting knife was drawn from the back waist and stabbed hard at the side of the captive who was still unconscious. The blade penetrated out from the other end, slitting the throat and cutting the entire cervical spine.
Su Hao's sword position was very accurate. The knife passed through the gap between the bone blocks without any obstacles. This was not the cruelty of torture, but the habit of being a hunter in the future world. There were many humanoid creatures that were not enough to die by cutting blood vessels alone. Only by cutting off the nerve center can they completely lose their ability to move.
A few minutes later, he walked out of the room, leaving behind three gradually cold, stiff bodies.
Blood has an immune effect on the virus, which means that other team members can take silver bones and become strengthening people like themselves and Lao Song.
This is very good news.
This means that a reinforced man troops can be established now.
Of course, the premise is that those people are loyal enough to themselves.
For the future, this is an unimaginable huge advantage. Because now is the early stage of the virus outbreak, the zombies of the "-1" level are weak, and it is easy to obtain a large amount of silver bones, and can also quickly increase the strengthening human level.
Even in the time and space where I was originally in, the fifth-level strengthened people were very rare. The environment, food, water sources, and increasingly powerful monsters... All of these restricted the yield and source of silver bones. Although humans were generally strengthened at that time, most of the level one to two levels. Even the most experienced hunters rarely evolved to the third stage.
The experiment only solved the guess about immunity. There is another question that Su Hao still has not found.
Immunity and strengthening are two genetic agents with completely different effects. Even the military research institutes in the future world have not developed similar things. So, why does their blood have both effects?
Su Hao was very confused. He felt that there were countless question marks in his mind. He had just figured out a small part of it, but found more mysteries that could not be seen through.
But no matter what, it is good for you.
