Section 50 Queen Bee
The nearby fields were shoveled flat, and in the next few weeks, Su Hao planned to tie people to plant wheat. He was unfamiliar with how to cultivate and could only find relevant books from libraries and bookstores as references.
No, you can learn.
What's more, this is also related to the team's future food supply issues.
With sufficient gasoline as a guarantee, Cao Rui's search team began to go further. They drove cars and searched for supplies in nearby suburban counties, bringing back more than a dozen livestock such as pigs, cattle, sheep, and several plows that are indispensable for ploughing. Some tractors cannot drive up the mountain and can only rely on this kind of thing to turn over the soil.
Liao Qiu had many ideas——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
After all, zombies are much more powerful than oxen and are very fast. They don’t have to eat grass or rest.
Han Jing brought back a truckload of mature kelp from the vegetable fields outside the city. Under Li Xiaomei's command, the women cut the tubers into shreds, dried until half dry, and marinated them with salt and pepper. This winter, there should be no shortage of vegetables.
Du Tianhao had an unusual interest in the rushing river water below the mountain. He led people to "visit" the fishermen around Dianchi Lake and collected a lot of fishing nets from the empty villages. After two days, Du Tianhao built a "dam" made of wood and fishing nets on the river. The water flow in this area was smooth, and with two small wooden boats found in the upstream village, they successfully built nearly tons of river food. Most of them were grass carp, as well as river loaches and carp.
The dishes in the camp canteen began to become rich and diverse. Dried vegetables such as vermicelli, fungus, mushrooms, kelp, etc. were cooked with fish or cured meat, and the taste was very delicious. There are still many wild vegetables in the mountains and forests this season. With the vitamin C obtained by Su Hao from the pharmacies in the city, people work a lot, but they are very healthy.
Zhou Chen is still obsessed with the study of Su Hao's blood. He is fascinated by the mysterious black particles. The team needs to be managed and there are many things to deal with. Su Hao is really flawless to clone, and the camp laboratory has almost become Zhou Chen's independent space. He draws blood samples from all team members and compares it with every outsider who encounters but refuses to join the team. This boring data collection has been going on for almost a month. Zhou Chen finally feels that he has made extremely significant breakthroughs in the research of black particles.
The doors and windows of the laboratory were closed, and Su Hao and Zhou Chen sat next to the microscope.
"This is a creature that has never been discovered. It is not a cell, but a virus that originates from the outside world and is parasitic in your body. Sorry, the word "virus" is not a derogatory meaning, they are actually also creatures. Black particles should obtain energy through mitochondria. Whoever controls whom you and them should coexist. Now I can be sure: they transform you into "Queen Bee". Well... I forgot your gender, or the word "Queen Bee" is more appropriate. This particle can greatly affect the infected person, that is, other people who achieve immune effects through blood contact. Black particles cannot control their thinking. They only make the infected person feel close to you through biological attraction, and are willing to obey your orders."
Su Hao believes that Zhou Chen's research makes some sense.
Otherwise, even he himself could not explain why hundreds of team members were willing to obey their instructions?
You should know that these people are civilians, not military. Each of them has unique ideas. Even because of the threat of food and environment, they have to respect themselves as their leader, and there will always be various complaints... However, since the construction of the field camp began, the entire team has been operating well. The members who have taken immune drugs, that is, their blood have cooperated with each other.
Su Hao was surprised by this phenomenon more than once. Even hunters in the future world could not achieve such efficient cooperation.
The only explanation... I'm afraid it's really like Zhou Chen said, he is a huge human-shaped "Queen Bee".
There is still the second half of Zhou Chen's research results.
"Your blood does not work for everyone. Among all the research data, 281 blood samples indicate rejection of black particles. These people are outsiders who refuse to join the team. They are unwilling to go to the camp to work, nor do they want to stay in this place where there is no future. You know I won't lie about this kind of thing, but it is true - yes, you are very handsome, but not everyone who walks outside will like you like Li Xinyan (Xinyan's surname is Li). The way of thinking these people may affect the degree of acceptance of black particles by cells. They refuse to fusion with your blood, or even reject it. Well! Explain that the "they" here refers to cells."
Su Hao stared at Zhou Chen's extremely sincere expression and narrowed his eyes slightly: "How do you know? I have never given those immunized drugs to outsiders. Only those who decide to join the team are qualified to inject my blood."
"That's right! You did not give it to them, but you gave it to me!"
Zhou Chen stood up with a smile, walked to the medical cold counter in the corner, reached out and knocked on the hard cabinet door, and said proudly: "You have given me 400 milliliters of blood as research material. I have always been very safe. In the name of "quarantine virus", when taking blood samples from outsiders who refused to join, I lied that your blood was an antibiotic injected them. The effect was very obvious. Those guys who refused to admit you, black particles could not be integrated into their cells. I don't know why the brain can affect the cells, but they do develop immunity in their bodies. Like us, as long as they take silver bones, they can become strengthening people."
Su Hao immediately stood up from the chair and looked at him in astonishment.
"No! This disorderly spread is too dangerous. Do you know..."
"Don't worry! Let me finish my words——"
Zhou Chen put his hands into the outer pocket of the white coat and pulled a chair to sit down. He looked at Su Hao and chuckled softly: "I am a very cautious person. It is impossible for me to let immunity outsiders run around. They are just the carriers I use for argumentation. Don't worry! Those people will not pose any threat to you, and the secrets in the team will not be known to outsiders. Because... I killed them all."
The last sentence was very light, and Su Hao felt that there was thunder shaking in his mind. He felt a little lost and asked strangely: "What did you... say?"
"I killed those who refused to join the team but had injected your blood."
Zhou Chen showed a very sunny smile on his fair face, full of sincerity and sincerity, no guilt or coldness: "All the outsiders who have been injected with immune drugs but have not joined the team are dead. Everything is handled very cleanly without any omissions. I am the second stage of strengthening person, with a gun."
Su Hao stood quietly.
He felt his mind was very confused and his eyes were staring at Zhou Chen sitting opposite him.
Reason told him that it was horrible and bloody. He never thought that the people around him would do such a thing.
"They...they are humans, not zombies."
A cold light was released in Su Hao's eyes.
This has exceeded his tolerance line.
However, there is still a very slight expectation deep in my heart.
He was waiting for Zhou Chen to say that this had never happened before, and told himself that it was just a joke to regulate the atmosphere.
"I killed them."
Zhou Chen's extremely serious words shattered Su Hao's last fantasy: "I need experimental data to prove something useful to you from the opposite direction. Besides, they can't go much far on that road. There are zombies everywhere, and there is no rescue. Even if they are not bitten to death by zombies, they will starve to death."
“That’s different.”
Su Hao's voice became hoarse: "I said——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Zhou Chen stopped talking.
The atmosphere in the room fell into solidification.
After a few minutes of silence, Zhou Chen stood up from the chair and walked towards Su Hao. He stood beside the microscope, took out the issued pistol from his coat pocket, held the gun body, and handed the handle to Su Hao.
"You can kill me."
There was no resentment on his face, only confession and calmness: "I don't know why this happened. When I killed the first person, the fear and shock in my heart were simply indescribable. I thought of stopping, thinking of stopping this sin and compensating the living in other ways. But I still continued to do the same thing, one by one, taking blood samples, comparing, injecting, and then following to the distance, aiming at them and shooting..."
Su Hao looked at Zhou Chen's pupils, wanting to see through all the hidden ingredients: "You should have told me this earlier. I can help you, and there will be no more people who will die."
"No! You can't help me."
Zhou Chen's answer was very sudden. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I know this is wrong, but I can't stop. If time could go against the current, I believe I would do it, and I still hide it from you."
Su Hao showed anger on his face, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Why?"
Zhou Chen looked straight ahead, thought for a while, raised his right hand, pointed to his heart, and then pointed to Su Hao.
"Don't you understand yet? I have a sense of identity with you and have injected your blood. You are the queen bee, and I am the worker bee."
Bee colonies are very special creatures.
The queen bee is unique and irreplaceable. Every worker bee exists for the queen bee. They squeeze nectar and refine royal jelly. All work is for the queen bee. They will never defect and are united as close as iron plates. When encountering foreign enemies, any worker bee will sting up and rush forward without hesitation, defending its king with its body and life.
For the sake of the king, they are willing to do anything.
Even if you bear sin.
..
Without weather forecasts, survivors can only rely on experience to observe the astronomical phenomena. The heat in the air is getting weaker day by day, and the sun is no longer so dazzling. Even when it is clear, they still feel a little cold on their bodies.
The team members received winter clothes. In fact, a few months ago, I collected stocks from the city shops. Since most of the warehouse space is used to store food and medicine, the number of bedding stored is not too large. According to statistics, it can only meet the needs of about 600 people at most.
Su Hao held the steering wheel and headed west along the city road. The speed of thirty kilometers per hour was not fast. Occasionally, zombies with flexible legs would pounce on them and grab the steel mesh on the surface of the car body. They were very persistent and refused to let go. They dragged it like this, bringing a wet blood mark on the asphalt road.
Xinyan was wearing a set of modal-material tights and sat in the passenger seat. She half-sided and looked at Su Hao with a little worried.
Su Hao did not deal with Zhou Chen at all. It seemed that it had never happened, and he had never heard of anything.
That's not Zhou Chen's fault.
Su Hao didn't know what to do.
The only thing he could do was to encounter any similar incident after repeated attempts. No matter whoever was, he had to tell himself immediately, rather than be good at making decisions like Zhou Chen.
"I don't like how you are now."
Xinyan whispered: "You should smile, just like when you first met you."
Su Hao's tense face slowly calmed down. He grasped the direction with his left hand and held Xinyan's wrist with his right hand. His fingers penetrated into the girl's palm and scratched her back and forth. The itchy feeling spread throughout his arms. Xinyan finally couldn't help laughing "puff".
Su Hao turned his head, looked at her, and smiled with satisfaction: "So too."
No third person knew about the conversation between him and Zhou Chen. Su Hao did not intend to continue to pursue the matter.
All done have been done, and people have died, and no remedy has any meaning.
He believed that other team members, including Zhou Chen, would not slander the order.
After all... I am a queen bee.
However, this generation name is really ugly.
As the off-road vehicle was driving on the empty and unmanned road, Su Hao's thinking, which had been entangled by various negative emotions for a long time, gradually became soothing.
Of course, driving out is not for relaxation. There is a large machinery trading market near the Second Ring Road west of the city. There is a lot of useful things you can get there, including different models of solar power generation equipment.
The city at my feet is close to the forefront of the country in terms of solar engineering and building integration. The annual average sunshine rate exceeds 56%, and the annual average sunshine hours are more than 2,250 hours. These data are not simply stuck on paper, but are truly displayed in front of the world in a way that almost covers the top floor of the entire city building and reflects dazzling metallic luster in the sun.
(Friends who come to Kunming for traveling, you can stand from a high place to overlook, with dense solar water heaters everywhere. Lao Hei won’t lie!)
The reason why Su Hao chose Kunming as the time and space landing point was to consider the use of electric heating energy. Compared with other cities, there are more solar electric heating merchants here, and the equipment is simple to use and install. Especially for the gas stations near camps and under reconstruction, small generators are required.
Drive past the intersection with traffic light poles, and bypass several abandoned vehicles with heads and tails that collapsed and collided with each other, the off-road vehicle slowly drove towards the auxiliary road under the viaduct.
Suddenly, Xinyan frowned and turned her eyes out the window.
"Drive slowly!"
She raised her left hand and made a motion to stop. She quickly clamped the automatic rifle leaning against her leg with her right hand, and said uncertainly: "Did you hear anything?"
Su Hao narrowed his eyes with a serious expression, then pressed the brake hard, rotated the key to turn off the engine.
The silver bones taken by Xinyan are enough to reach the fourth strengthening stage. Her hearing and perception ability is at least twice that of ordinary people. Moreover, Su Hao herself also heard some movements that are not mechanical noise. After turning off the engine, the sound seemed particularly clear.
"...get it out...you should get out...you should get out of the way...you should get out...kill...help, help me?"
The call for help was weak, with intermittent gasps. It sounded like the struggles of a drowning dying person in the last few seconds.
Without waiting for Xinyan to open his mouth and identify the direction, Su Hao had restarted the engine, stepped on the clutch as fast as possible, flew up, and drove the off-road vehicle to cross the road and towards the side streets where it made sounds.
This is a residential area on the street.
Just as they rushed into the alley more than a hundred meters away, a few zombies immediately rushed over from both corners. They hugged the car body tightly, stared at Su Hao and Xinyan sitting in the car with red eyes. They were obviously very hungry, and they opened their mouths and chewed at the steel wire welded outside the car window, stretched their tongues and licked the car window desperately, leaving traces of brown, yellow, pus and sticky nausea on the transparent glass surface.
Su Hao did not slow down.
He had already seen that, dozens of meters ahead, an old man in his fifties stood on the top of the distribution room, waving a thin steel pipe removed from the long folding chair, desperately driving away the zombies surrounding him. The man-eating monsters surrounded him tightly, with no way to escape, and no electric poles or other things to climb.
The old man was extremely panicked. He kept cursing and swung the steel pipe to smash the zombies at the head. Zombies were constantly hit in the head and retreated and staggered, but this movement was obviously not strong enough and did not have much lethality. The repelled zombies would join the encirclement again soon. This terrible situation devoured the old man's confidence and physical strength like a devil. He cried loudly, his thick and pale beard was covered with tears and snot, and the speed of waving the steel pipe was getting slower and slower, and it was even more difficult.
Chapter completed!
