Doomsday rat

"...Will you be with me?" Zhuma didn't ask Hong Tao what he wanted to do in detail, or that she already knew it, but just asked a trivial but very important matter.

"Of course, you may not be known by anyone for a long time, and I will try my best not to let the outside world know of your existence. But I can't avoid it, and it's impossible to stay out of it."

"Then can I save my sister?" Zhuma smiled with satisfaction, and then proposed a smaller matter.

"As far as I know, she is still locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there should be no time to deal with it in a short time. But I can't guarantee that if Niu Dafu regains control of the military, he may kill her first for his own benefit."

But Hong Tao was very uncertain about this trivial matter. He used to count on Zhou Yuan to persuade Lin Na to give Zhuma's sister a chance to live.

But now Zhou Yuan has defected with him, and Lin Na has resigned. Not to mention that there is no way to save her, it is a blessing to keep Gao Tianyi and Niu Dafu from knowing the relationship between that woman and him.

"Can you turn my sister into the same as me?" Juma was also mentally prepared for this uncertain answer, and did not continue to pester her, but she still had a small request.

"Ah... I'm afraid I need to ask your sister's opinion first!" Hong Tao was immediately stunned by the question. Are these real sisters? How could he expect his sister to become a living corpse?

"No, I am sure to convince my sister. It is better to be with zombies than to live with people and worry all day long. These days, I get along very well with Blue Sister. She will never betray me. As long as I want, she can Give your life for me.

My sister suffered more than I did. She had to risk her life to become a secret agent for me. I don’t want her to suffer among human beings anymore.We can take Blue Sister back home together, and my sister can also help us command the zombies together! "

But Zhuma didn't think it was harming her sister, but thought it was a kind of happy relief.It doesn't sound like it doesn't make sense at all, but it sounds awkward no matter how you listen.This has to be so disappointed with human beings that they think that their own group is not worthy of nostalgia at all, but they think it is safer to live with zombies.

"...If you are willing to let him study carefully and actively cooperate, it should be possible to figure out why the body has strange mutations." Hong Tao was speechless. After thinking about it, he planned to respect Zhuma's choice.

However, he is still helpless on the technical issue of how to turn a normal person into a living corpse. The only hope is that Alexei has a flash of inspiration, and see if this mad scientist can show his power again and find the reason for Juma's mutation. can be copied.

Chapter 1156 Crazy move

"Hong, I have listened to Ms. Angel's story about her mutation these days, and I know your general thoughts. Please rest assured, I support you. Human beings are really not worth nostalgic. They are too stupid. Pressure, maybe even become smarter.

But without experimental equipment, I can't analyze and study the virus in your body and Ms. Angel's body, so as to find the root cause of the mutation.After all, I am not God, and the naked eye and imagination alone are not enough. "

On the way to the transmitter room of the illegal radio station, Alexei was the happiest.When he was on the road, he rode on the back of the blue devil, holding a small book in one hand and a knife in the other, and kept buttoning on the head, neck, and shoulders of the blue devil, making preliminary inspections on any parts of interest. Observe and document.

He is no stranger to blue devils, living corpses, and zombies. He has dissected the dead and studied the living ones, but he has never observed such a bold and close-distance observation before. Juma even ordered the blue devil to open his eyes. He opened his mouth and stabbed his throat with a flashlight and a knife.

For a scientist who regards the study of zombie viruses as the meaning of life, this kind of opportunity is once in a lifetime, and this kind of life is hard to come by. If possible, he would like to live like this for the rest of his life.

However, a scientist should have the ethics of a scientist. He cannot ignore the facts and flatter just because he has received Hong Tao's help.

"...I'm sorry, I lied before. The research can continue, but the equipment is really difficult to find in a short time." Of course Hong Tao understands this fact, and there is really nothing he can do about it.

There are many experimental equipment in many cities, especially in the zombie-controlled areas. It is estimated that they are still there as they were more than ten years ago.But they are definitely unusable. The more sophisticated the instrument, the more careful maintenance it needs. Finding it is useless.

"Don't be discouraged. I just said that I can't give exact data, and I didn't say that I can't give it a try. According to my inference, there are two reasons why Ms. Angel has changed differently from other infected people.

First, what she was infected with was not an ordinary zombie virus, but something in an animal's body, and there was a very high possibility that it had mutated.The second is your blood. I have observed that there is some unknown substance in your blood that can help the immune system distinguish zombie viruses.

With their assistance, the immune system in Ms. Angel's inner body took effect, but not completely.The remaining virus had to mutate again in order to survive, which eventually became the current situation. "

Seeing Hong Tao's desolate expression, Alexie quickly explained the conclusion just now in detail.This time it was not a rejection, but a more subtle suggestion.

"And then?" It's a pity that Hong Tao didn't quite understand. He couldn't catch a few survivors, find a few cadaver dogs, and bite them one by one when he came back, so he could transfuse himself for experimentation.

The problem is that the cadaver dog and the grizzly bear obviously do not belong to the same kind of virus infection. I don't know how to do this kind of experiment, but the general principle is clear, and the difference is thousands of miles away!

"If you don't object, you can ask Ms. Angel to infect wild dogs to see if there will be any changes. This is the first step. If there is a change and the wild dogs have mutated, it means that the zombie virus in Ms. Angel's body is still alive .

In the second step, I can be the experimental subject myself, let the mutated wild dogs infect me, and then use your blood to interfere.If my deduction is correct, even more amazing changes should take place! "Speaking of the following experimental steps, Alexie's entire face was distorted, and his eyes shone with light.

"Is it possible that my blood can't save you, your brain is damaged by the virus, you lose your memory, lose your logical analysis ability, and finally become a silly zombie?"

Hong Tao really couldn't understand Alexie's thinking. What kind of method is this? You can't even calculate the approximate probability. It's too unscientific to use yourself to do experiments!

"You won't understand, we humans are only primary school students in understanding nature, many things are not clear according to current theories, and I'm afraid I won't get too many answers in a lifetime of research.

At this time, it is necessary to take risks, and human beings' technological progress and crazy adventures are always inseparable.In fact, you have been experimenting with your own life, experimenting with human nature and reason.

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure I won't turn into a zombie.The substance in your blood is very powerful, as long as the amount is enough, my immunity has not been completely destroyed, it can kill all viruses! "

Alexie is really not stupid, his thinking is very clear and logical, but he rarely shows his ability in this area, or he disdains to communicate with most people, which creates the illusion of a lunatic.

"...How much is enough?" Hong Tao is not stupid. What he cares about is not whether Alexei will turn into a zombie, but how much blood he needs to give, more than one catty is out of the question.

Why use life to test human nature, I am not that great, there must be a prerequisite for everything, and my life cannot be endangered.Being caught this time was a misjudgment, a risky failure, not a sacrifice!

"Two tubes like this should be enough... Are you worried that I will drain your blood?!" This answer puzzled Alexie, and then he despised him.Just now I praised you for your adventurous spirit, but now you look like a layman, bah, I don’t talk nonsense with laymen!

As long as it doesn't endanger his life, Hong Tao's execution ability is still very strong, and Zhuma doesn't care about taking some blood and injecting it into the wild dog.The wild dogs were easy to catch, if Lanmei sister was dispatched, several of them could be caught in a short time.Then I found a disposable needle tube from the passing village health center, and the simple laboratory was ready.

Facts have proved that Alexie is indeed talented in virus research, and without experimental equipment, he can be indistinguishable only by speculation, and there is indeed a mutated zombie virus in Juma's blood!

On the first day of the experiment, the wild dogs injected with her blood showed mutated features in less than 10 minutes, and black lines appeared on the skin.At this time, Hong Tao's blood was injected again, and the symptoms disappeared within a few hours, and another mutation appeared.

Juma can control the wild dogs with consciousness. Although both parties were a little uncomfortable at first, the instructions issued were not very accurate, and the execution method was not normal, but it was 100% controllable.

In the next two days, the wild dog passed the adaptation period, and immediately interacted with Lanmei again.The three of them added a blue devil's escape group, and the members doubled in an instant, and there were three more zombie dogs who obeyed the command 100% and would never turn back!

Next came the human experiment that Alexie volunteered. He chose to be bitten by a zombie dog, and waited for the mutation to occur before injecting Hong Tao's blood... Then the second Juma appeared, and he was able to fight with Sister Lanmei and the corpse. The dog communicated with consciousness, and was as happy as a child, jumping and shouting all over the mountain.

Faced with this result, Hong Tao was a little eager to try.He also thought about his addiction to commanding zombies, and despite Alexie's strong objection, he rolled up his arms and sleeves and injected himself with Juma's blood.

But the ending was very unsatisfactory. After the injection, there was no bullshit reaction, and even the low-grade fever after being bitten by zombies was saved, just like a normal person.Of course, they also don't have the ability to communicate with the blue devil and zombie dogs.

According to Alexie, Hong Tao has hematopoietic function, so naturally he also has the ability to produce mysterious substances.The more viruses that enter the body, the more active the immune system will be. If you want to change completely, unless you enter a near-death state, most of the immune system will fail.

"I believe you ghost!" Hong Tao's answer to this pertinent suggestion was to punch and kick.Only a fool would let himself be on the verge of death, what if there is still no mutation?Then it's really dead!

But with the addition of Alexie and Zombie Dog, the previous plan can be implemented ahead of schedule.The zombies and blue devils that can be encountered along the way are not spared, and they are all included under the command of Zhuma and Alexei. The team gradually expands, and there are already more than 300 when they reach the vicinity of Yesanpo.

After temporarily turning off the radio transmission equipment, Hong Tao commanded the zombie team to continue south along the Taihang Mountains.It passes through Laiyuan, Lingqiu, Fanzhi, Daixian, Wutai, Yangquan, Zuoquan, Changzhi, Jincheng, crosses the Yellow River from Xiaolangdi south, bypasses Luoyang, and plunges into Funiu Mountain from Songxian County.

Avoiding Xiangyang, from Jingmen, Xiaogan, Qianshan, Wuwei and other places, along the north bank of the Huaihe River to the east, and finally crossing the Yangtze River from Wuhu, entering the southeast coast where there are zombies everywhere, and humans have never set foot in more than ten years The hinterland of the zombie control area.

Chapter 1157 The Rise of New Forces

Roughly speaking, this journey will take more than 2000 kilometers, most of which are mountainous, and it would take three months to cover it with just two feet.But in fact, Hong Tao, Zhuma and Alexie have hardly traveled by themselves since Yesanpo, except for taking a walk every day.

There are zombies, who still walks by themselves.Hong Tao first tied a back frame with branches, and let the zombie walk on his back.But after using it for a day, I found that my face was always flushed, which greatly affected my vision and senses, and it was not very comfortable.

Simply find a steel pipe from the village and tie it with a sofa as a sliding pole, sit on it and let the zombies carry it away.The sofa was for two, he sat with Juma, and Alexei sat on one.

The weight of one hundred and ten kilograms is a bit of a burden for zombies, but it can be overcome. A group of four walks quickly on the mountain road, changing every hour, without affecting their physical fitness and walking speed at all.

When more and more blue devils were found, the bearers were all replaced by these blue ghosts.They are stronger than mules and horses, two can complete the work of four zombies, and only need to be replaced once a day 24 hours.If the sun is sufficient, there is no need to change shifts for two or three consecutive days, and you can still walk like flying.

After crossing the Yellow River, Hong Tao rested for a few days in the automobile factory in Sy City.I found two SUV shells with complete glass and no serious rust, welded them to the girder of the off-road vehicle, and were carried by four blue devils.

Now the sliding rod is changed to a mobile palace, the wind and rain can’t be blown, and the food, drink and lodging can be completed in the carriage, and you can also engage in strenuous exercise with Zhuma that is not suitable for children while moving forward.

No matter how rough the road is, with the Blue Devil's intelligent bionic adaptive shock absorption system, it is more stable than nitrogen shock absorption and electromagnetic suspension, and the lights, audio are complete, and there are wipers!

Of course, it wasn’t all about enjoying the journey and enjoying the mountains and rivers. Zhuma and Alexei were exploring the skills of controlling zombies every day, and conducted preliminary training for more and more zombie teams, mainly the formation.

Horizontal and column stragglers, one-word long snake formation, two dragons out of water formation, heaven and earth three talents formation, four-door pocket bottom formation, plum blossom formation and mandarin duck formation, anyway, he practiced the ancient marching formation methods that he remembered in his mind one by one.

The zombies don't feel annoying, let alone bitter. With the active cooperation of the zombie dogs, the formation changes are becoming more and more familiar, and they have achieved a small success before entering the zombie-controlled area.It is more than ten times stronger than any guard of honor in the world in terms of speed of change, uniformity, and prohibition. As long as you think about it, you can basically do it!

For the remaining two months, Hong Tao spent all his time fishing in the resort near Damao Mountain on the west bank of Taihu Lake, but Zhuma and Alexie were hardly idle.

The two led dozens of blue devils and zombie dogs respectively, and went to Hangzhou and Shanghai in the palace. There was only one purpose, to gather the local zombies, as much as they could control, to go to Nanjing and Zhenjiang for training, and wait for the opportunity to cross the river .

What time are you waiting for?Of course, the two encirclement and suppression groups in the north and south were in place.Hong Tao has been in radio contact with Zhou Yuan on the road, and there is also a radio station that can receive clear-coded messages from the Human Survivors Alliance, basically grasping the changes in the past few months.

He admired Gao Tianyi's plan of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot from the bottom of his heart, it was too ruthless and thorough.As soon as this move was made, it basically cut off his own way of life, and completely cut off the hope of sympathizers and supporters.

excuse?If the defense was useful, then Saddam and Gaddafi would not have been abandoned by the whole world.The Alliance of Human Survivors must believe more in the words of the new chairman of the Asian region. Even if he has doubts, knowing that Gao Tianyi is engaging in militarism, he will not stand up and say even half a word of justice for himself.

The reason is simple, the East Asian Alliance is under the control of Gao Tianyi, no one can tell which is more beneficial to support him or support himself, except for fools.

justice?axiom?The truth... These nouns are just words invented by those in power to fool the lower classes, but if there is one word that works, 90.00% of the wars and conflicts in human society will be resolved.

In this case, spending so much saliva on myself will not only be useless, but will also be ridiculed and cursed.Let's be different if you are different, let's be a mutant if you are a mutant, the only thing in this world that can change Zhou Yuan's situation is not reason, but fists.

As long as the fists are hard enough, they won't hesitate to ask the presidents of each continent to kneel down and call their own father.As long as the East Asian Alliance can be taken back from Gao Tian, ​​no one will worry about whether Zhou Yuan and the others are mutants.

At that time, it is only necessary to issue another statement, and Gao Tianyi and his accomplices will immediately become mutants again. It is also a hard fact to say that they will be infected with whatever they are infected with.Even if everyone knows in their hearts that it is not, they have to say yes. After a long time, they will feel it in their hearts!

Of course, the title of mutant on his head will definitely not be eliminated in his lifetime, and will be confirmed further.No matter how big the fist is and how many people call you dad, as long as there is a chance, there will still be countless people who will find a way to resist.

So I don't plan to wash my reputation and return to the human group.What happened to the zombies?Compared with human beings, they have never deliberately tried to kill themselves, let alone fight for leadership.

In this respect, the level of civilization of the virus should be higher.Since they were born, they have been strictly assigned to different levels. Those in high positions will not trample on the interests of the bottom at will, and those in the bottom will not think about how to break the rules. The top ranks, each has its own responsibilities, cooperates closely, and needs each other.

Speaking of the level of the virus, it is another research result of Alexie in the past three months.This guy's understanding of the virus has been increasing day by day since he mutated. He is no longer limited to studying the attributes in a narrow sense, but has begun to understand it from a macro perspective.

He believes that among the substances that have been discovered so far, the mysterious substance in Hong Tao's body is of the highest level, but this substance is obviously not the same as viruses, and belongs to a surreal existence.

The next thing is that the virus in Zhuma's body has the highest level of evolution, which is reflected in the strength of consciousness.If two people issued different instructions together, the zombies received would not hesitate for a moment, and would immediately execute Zhuma's orders, ignoring their own, even if the distance was closer.

Further down is the virus in his own body, and then there are zombie dogs, zombies, blue devils and ordinary zombies.But there is a grade difference between the living corpse and the living corpse, and there is also this relationship between the living corpse dog and the living corpse dog.As for the principle, he is currently unable to give accurate data, and can only guess based on the phenomenon that it is related to the evolutionary level of the virus.

Hong Tao didn't care too much about the properties of the virus, anyway, no matter how he studied it, he was a different kind.But he can use the level of the virus to serve himself. For example, when forming an army of zombies, the original level relationship plays a big role.

If it all depends on Juma and Alexei's conscious command, the maximum range of the zombie army is only about two kilometers in radius, and the number cannot be too large.But with hierarchical division, this problem has been perfectly solved.

Zhuma and Alexie don't need to control each zombie personally, they only need to control the zombie dogs, and these guys pass orders to the zombies. In this way, the controllable range and quantity will be infinitely superimposed, forming a zombie. effective chain of command.

To put it bluntly, Hong Tao took the zombie dog and the low-level commander among the zombies, and regarded the evolution level of the virus as his military rank and position.Zhuma and Alexei should be regarded as the commanders of the group army, while he himself is the commander in chief of the three armies in name.

But the commander is the commander, stand tall and see far.He felt that it took a long time to domesticate zombie dogs, and the targets on the battlefield were relatively large, and the demand for food was also higher. Too many of them would increase the pressure on logistical supplies.

So the Supreme Commander slapped his forehead and thought about it, and easily invented the living corpse cat and living corpse mouse.Especially the latter, the quantity is inexhaustible, the amount of blood consumed and the difficulty of domestication are much smaller than that of zombie dogs, and a lot can be produced in half a day.

Even if the range of control is not as large as that of the zombie dogs, and the speed of movement is not as fast as that of the zombie dogs, it will not be able to support the large number. The most important thing is that there is no need to prepare any supplies, and the rats will not starve to death wherever they go.

They are the company and platoon commanders in the zombie army. They don't need to be very capable, just control the zombies within a radius of [-] meters.Always active on the front line, it doesn't matter if you die, the adjacent living corpse mouse immediately fills in, and there is no trace of connection.

Chapter 1158 Invincible

With the command system and formation training, can we immediately go into battle?Hong Tao felt that it wasn't enough. Since he and the zombies were already of the same kind, he shouldn't care about the zombies, and he had to be responsible to the soldiers.

In the past, there was no equipment for zombie combat, and they all relied on their bodies to block bullets. Now that there is a supreme commander, this aspect must be strengthened.Don't be afraid if you don't have so much armor. The deadly parts of zombies are the head and spine, which can be used as key defenses. It is enough to resist direct bullets.

So all the items that can be found in the city, are not heavy, small in size, and can prevent bullets from being pierced, all become the helmets and armors of zombies.For example, thick iron pots, thick wood, cement blocks in building ruins, and cotton clothes, quilts, and blankets.

If people wear clothes that are too heavy, it will definitely affect their actions, but zombies will not. To them, tens of catties more or less are equal to zero.However, wearing several layers of wet blankets or thick quilts against cement blocks can effectively prevent direct bullets and reduce casualties.

The zombies naturally support the new commander's decision very much, and they also cherish their protective gear very much. They will not put it down when they pick it up. Get dirty in no time.

Not only did Hong Tao not stop them, but he also asked Zhuma and Alexie to direct the zombies to soak in the puddles if they had nothing to do, and then roll on the ground. The dirtier their bodies and the thicker the soil, the better.

Is it possible to fight with the simplest defense?Hong Tao thought it was not enough.The moving speed of the zombies is a bit slow, similar to that of a normal human walking, and it will inevitably lose a lot if it encounters too dense firepower.If you want to overcome this shortcoming, you have to adopt more flexible tactics, such as special forces!

Although the monster covered in blue tiles is a little thinner than ordinary zombies, its power has been more than doubled, especially in terms of agility. It is the existence of catching wild dogs and cats with bare hands, and can also resist the shooting of ordinary caliber bullets. .

If they form a commando, in addition to being able to roam around the main force as scouts when marching, they can also attack from key positions in frontal combat and quickly tear apart the opponent's defense line, especially in night battles.

As for why the zombies are not trained to use weapons, such as holding a three-meter-long machete, a five-meter-long red-tasseled gun, and a shield made of thick iron plates. If you make millions of them, you will not be able to see them. They are basically invulnerable except for shells.If tens of thousands of tank soldiers, artillerymen, and sharpshooters can be trained, the earth can be named Hong.

In fact, letting zombies use weapons, including driving vehicles, is not a fantasy. Before entering the zombie-controlled area, Hong Tao tried it and succeeded.The Blue Devil can swing the four- to five-meter-long scaffolding iron pipe with the wind, and throw it tens of meters away like a javelin, which can penetrate the wall.

But whether using tools or driving vehicles, Juma and Alexei need to use their consciousness to direct them personally.Small-scale operations in local areas are okay. While controlling thousands of zombie dogs and rats, they are distracted by directing individual zombies to perform complex actions. The requirements are a bit high, and neither of them can complete them.

In fact, even if weapons and tools were not used, in the process of crossing the river and raiding Huai'an, where the Southern Group is stationed, the formation and training of the Blue Devil Squad played a decisive role.

Under the leadership of the zombie dogs and corpse rats, they unknowingly killed all the human sentinels in the south.This made it impossible for the local commander to judge the number of the zombie army, nor to arrange material transfer in advance, so he had to choose to confront the zombie army at night, completely falling into a passive position.

In fact, Hong Tao and Zhuma led only the vanguard of the zombie army, the number was about 200 million, and the real majority were followed by Alexei.This is just to confuse the Alliance Air Force. If all the zombies are gathered together, it will not only be difficult to deploy, but also prone to intensive bombing, which will cause too much loss.

To ask Hong Tao if he is afraid of being attacked by air, his answer is: do your best and obey the destiny!If the bomb happened to fall on the head, no one could do anything but his own fate.

But not being afraid does not mean not being prepared. In order to reduce the chance of being killed, he and Juma also took a series of defensive measures.

For example, giving up traveling in a palace like a sedan chair, mixing with zombies no matter day or night, at most letting the blue devil carry it on his back.When fighting, avoid the front line as far as possible, and rely entirely on zombie dogs and corpse rats to pass orders.

Another example is that in order to prevent the heat source from being remotely observed by thermal imaging equipment, it is wrapped from head to toe with iron armor transformed from a paint bucket, with foam insulation on the inside, and a tarpaulin camouflage on the outside. The color is as close as possible to zombies.

If necessary, it will stop rushing during the day and use the mode of day and night to advance.Even so, the zombie army moves faster than the human army, and is not affected by weather and road conditions, let alone relying on logistical supplies.As long as there is no sun for three or four consecutive days, the combat effectiveness can be maintained at 100%!

"Even if there is an atomic bomb, I will not give them the chance to throw it!" Although the question raised by Juma is a bit distant, it is crucial.Hong Tao decided to find time to ponder over the countermeasures, and to kill all dangers in advance.

"Aren't we going to catch up?" Zhuma was still quite uncertain before the battle, fearing that her lack of ability would disappoint Hong Tao.But as the battle gradually deepened, her confidence gradually built up.

The main reason is that it was too easy. With less than tens of thousands of zombies and dozens of zombie dogs and rats, they broke through three lines of defense in a row.Not to mention failure, the survivors didn't even have a chance to fight back, they just kept retreating, retreating, and finally fled with massive baggage.

What are you waiting for, take advantage of the victory and chase to LY in one go, push away the thousands of survivors gathered there, and then go all the way north to the capital base, kill Gao Tianyi and rescue his sister before he can rest.

"You have no sympathy for them at all?" Hong Tao held Zhuma in his arms, sat on the roof and looked at the sky full of stars, obviously not planning to order to hunt down immediately.

"...Didn't you say that we are already considered aliens, and we will never return to the human community?" Zhuma was a little puzzled. He said that he did not belong to human beings before, but now he has to pity the same kind. Which one is true?

"At least we used to belong to human beings, and our relatives and friends are still human beings. Can you stop being so heartless!" This made Hong Tao a little speechless, and he couldn't figure out whether he should belong to humans, zombies, or both. Yes, or not at all.
