Chapter 1360 Changes
Come and go in a hurry.
The Almighty Church appeared in the trading market like a meteor for less than two days, and then disappeared.
But for the other survivors in the trading market, they undoubtedly saw the style of doing things in Oil City again.
Domineering, the move is thunderous.
There is no room for negotiation.
After Xiao Jun pulled the loudspeaker to speak to the survivors around, he returned to Oil City.
The news about the destruction of the Almighty Church quickly spread in the trading market.
"I guessed it. According to the previous style of doing things in Oil City, this so-called omnipotent church is actually looking for death."
"It's mainly because they are too arrogant and openly preach. If they develop secretly, they may not be destroyed so quickly."
"Haha, develop secretly? The trading market is so small that it will be reported sooner or later. Do you think the people in Oil City are all fools?"
"But to be honest, the destruction of this omnipotent church is a good thing."
"Let's not talk about this. When will this natural disaster end? I feel like I'm about to mold."
After Xiao Jun and others returned to Oil City, Dongtai was also preparing supplies for Lao Xie and others to leave the city.
With the lessons learned from the last time, the vehicle maintenance personnel strengthened the support of the giant and enhanced the friction of the tires when repairing the giant during this period.
After all, it was raining heavily, and the tires of the vehicles were easy to slip.
Time passed, and one day later.
Dongtai and others had prepared the relevant materials needed for Lao Xie and others to leave the city.
In fact, the materials consumed last time were not much, and it only took a week.
However, due to the uncertainty, they still prepared enough food and water for more than a dozen people for four months.
Except for Lao Xie, the people who set out together were the same as last time.
Changsheng and Gu Long, as well as Jiuge, Sun Ji and others went together.
Oil City, Uncle San's residence.
Uncle San personally handed the enhanced version of the potion to Lao Xie, and told him that the potion this time should be more powerful than the last time.
Uncle San had no idea how long the specific effect of the potion would last.
However, according to Bai Jie and others, the odor of the type III zombie attraction potion would last twice as long.
Lao Xie got the potion, patted his chest and said to Uncle San:
"Minister, don't worry, I have experience last time, and I guarantee to complete the task this time."
Uncle San looked at the bottle of potion, nodded slightly and said:
"Be careful in everything, we will wait for you to come back in Oil City."
"Yes!"
"Go."
After getting the potion from the minister, Lao Xie hurried away.
Braving the heavy rain, he got on the giant parked by the wall of Oil City.
He was familiar with the car.
There was not much difference from the last time. They still left the city and drove out of the trading market without any danger.
Unlike the last plan, this time they did not plan to run to a place 20 kilometers away at the beginning, but still went to the small hill.
With the verified success, there was no need to waste time to take a new road.
With the experience of the first time, Lao Xie and others who went out this time were obviously more confident, and everything developed according to their preset situation.
The stream next to Jigong Mountain has become a wide river.
There are many zombies swimming from the other side of the river, and their target direction is the oil city of the trading market.
Lao Xie and others drove the Big Mac to the top of the hill again.
Thanks to the transformation of the Big Mac this time, the brake device and anti-skid device are much more useful.
Learning from the lesson of being almost crushed by the zombie tide last time, they did not stop directly after arriving at the hill, but found a place with harder ground.
And using the weight of their own Big Mac, they repeatedly crushed the ground to compact the land.
Press out a flat ground several times larger than this giant.
In this way, even if the zombie tide piles up on the giant and causes the land to sink, it will not be pressed as deep as last time.
The purpose of doing this is to make it more convenient when leaving.
Then.
Lao Xie repeated the previous method and placed the type III zombie attraction potion in the ventilation vent of the giant.
Unlike the type II zombie attraction potion, this type III zombie attraction potion is thicker and some solidified, and it doesn't flow much when tilted.
When Lao Xie opened this bottle of potion, as they expected, the zombies outside the wall of the trading market retreated like a tide and rushed towards the small hill eight kilometers away.
Plop!
On the wall of the trading market, Zhang Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the zombie tide below recede.
Regardless of the wet ground, he sat down.
Tired!
Too tired!
He participated in almost every conscription.
He relied on the tortillas given by the oil city to survive until now.
Fighting zombies is dangerous. He has seen too many of his companions fall down these days.
The middle-aged man he was familiar with also died during the last fight against zombies.
He happened to see the man die.
He watched the middle-aged man lose strength, faint, and fall off the wall.
Although they were tied with ropes at the back of each of them, they were still bitten on the thigh by a jumping zombie.
He had no choice but to give up.
Recently, more than one mutant zombie has appeared.
A small number of zombies even have bones growing out of their chests, and their heads are very hard. You need to aim at the eyes to pierce them and kill them.
It is extremely difficult for them to aim at the opportunity to pierce the eyes while the zombies are moving.
Whenever they encounter such zombies, the combatants behind them will come to support them and use firearms to shoot their heads.
Although the skull is strong, it cannot stop bullets.
There are also those extremely powerful zombies. The thrown steel pipe misses the head of this zombie and penetrates their chest. This kind of zombie uses its strong power to directly pull people down.
Zhang Shi gasped for air, his head a little dazed.
The last time the zombie wave suddenly receded, he happened to be on the wall, and this time he was there too.
He saw with his own eyes that Big Mac parked in the trading market drove out, and then the zombie wave receded.
How could there be so many coincidences? He vaguely sensed that the retreat of the zombie tide was related to the Big Mac.
In Oil City.
After completing the communication with the headquarters base, the third uncle came to the place where mutant zombies are imprisoned in Oil City.
Two more mutant zombies were caught in the past two days.
This kind of zombie is extremely terrifying. The hands and feet of this zombie have burrs, and the burrs on the two zombies caught later are getting longer and longer.
The third uncle walked into this dilapidated house.
In the house, Lao Yi was standing outside the iron frame observing the three zombies.
These three zombies were all caught at different times and have different shapes.
Tap tap tap——
Hearing the footsteps, Lao Yi turned his head and saw his third uncle.
"minister."
"Well, what did you find?" The third uncle pointed at the three zombies inside the iron railing.
These three zombies were separated into different iron railings, and their feet were tied with iron chains. The iron chains were five or six meters long, allowing these zombies to move within the iron railings.
They studied the characteristics of these zombies through their morphological movements while walking.
"Zombie No. 1 was caught by us 24 days ago. The bones in his chest have not yet grown out, and the burrs are only slightly raised. You can't find it unless you look carefully. His climbing ability is extremely weak."
As he spoke, he pointed to the second zombie in the middle.
"Zombie No. 2 was captured 13 days ago. Minister, you can see that the bone spurs on this zombie's chest have grown out, and the burrs on its hands and feet are more prominent, and the burrs are thicker. Its ability to climb walls is better than that of Zombie No. 1. Stronger!"
The third uncle came closer to observe. The zombie hit the iron railing immediately, and the iron chains under his feet made a clanking sound.
This zombie was extremely agile and climbed to the top of the iron frame in a few moments, constantly hitting the railings.
The railings are made of solid steel and are five centimeters thick. They cannot be knocked open by the strength of zombies.
This zombie No. 2 is obviously much taller than the first zombie, and its appearance is different from the first zombie, making it look more ferocious and terrifying.
The head was pale white, with no hair at all, the eye sockets were sunken, and the muscles on the body were bulging, making it look quite powerful.
Immediately afterwards, Lao Yi pointed to the last zombie on the right.
"This is Zombie No. 3. It was caught from under the wall the day before yesterday. The sternum is completely protruding. In addition, this zombie has the strongest climbing ability and strength, and its skull is very hard. It can't be inserted through the eyes with a spear. It can’t be inserted into the skull at any other place, it’s very dangerous!”
"These three zombies are all different. From these zombies, you can see their evolution process."
"Zombie No. 1 has been kept in this room by us, and it has never changed. So they and I speculated that the reason why these zombies keep mutating may be related to the environment."
"Environment?" Third Uncle frowned and asked:
"You mean it rains? These zombies will keep mutating in the rain?"
They all know a common sense in today's doomsday, that is, zombies will have stronger mobility and strength under heavy rain.
Obviously, during heavy rain, zombies may be able to obtain certain elements from the rain and then change.
"Yes, it may be due to the heavy rain."
The third uncle thought for a while and said:
"I'm afraid it's not just the heavy rain. I've been to the scientific research institute at the headquarters base before. The powerful mutant zombies they researched are related to the fact that these zombies eat the same kind of corpses."
"I guess the zombies discovered this time are strong in climbing ability.
It is this kind of zombie that mutates, perhaps after eating a large number of corpses of the same kind. Of course, it may also be related to the heavy rain. "
After hearing the minister's words, Lao Yi and the doctor Zhen Xing sent from the headquarters fell into deep thought.
"Minister, if this kind of zombie continues to mutate, it may really climb the wall." Lao Yi said with some worry.
His worries were exactly what the third uncle had in mind.
Zombies can climb walls, and their skulls are so hard that it would be difficult to deal with them if there were too many of them.
So far, they haven't found the zombie's fatal flaw.
But judging from the current situation, to completely kill this zombie, we can only start with the eyes.
The third uncle narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's make a record. No such zombies have been found in the headquarters base so far. When the natural disaster is over, these zombies will be transported back to the headquarters base."
"Okay." Lao Yi nodded.
The third uncle looked around at the zombies again, with a trace of worry hidden deep in his pupils.
He was not only worried about the camphor tree base or the oil city, but also about the entire human race.
Humans have not changed, but zombies have been changing according to the environment.
After experiencing extreme cold and extreme heat disasters, the zombies disappeared for a while in the disasters. When they were seen again, their skin turned white.
The number of humans has dropped sharply, and zombies cannot capture enough blood food, and slowly evolve into corpses that will devour their own kind.
These are all changes in zombies adapting to the environment.
The speed is very fast.
Zombies are getting stronger step by step, but humans have not changed at all.
With this increase and decrease, it can be predicted that the zombies faced by humans in the future will be more terrifying, and the environment they face will be more difficult.
The only thing to be thankful for is that, at least at present, the strength of the camphor tree base is also increasing.
To resist stronger zombies, the camphor tree base needs to become stronger, so that it can face unknown changes in the future.
After thinking about all this, Uncle San felt a sense of urgency from the bottom of his heart.
As Xiaoyu said, the first core limiting the development of the camphor tree base is food.
Without enough food, there is no way to supply enough people. Without enough people, there is no way to build higher and more complete walls.
With enough food and enough people, the strength will also increase.
But it is also complicated to manage, and it takes time to polish.
Their big camphor tree base is now in the stage of small steps and fast progress.
The trading market is a test point and the most important step for their big camphor tree base to expand outward.
Develop technology? How can it be so fast?
Besides, this is the end of the world. The industrial base has collapsed. It is already very strong to be able to recover to one-tenth of the level before the end of the world.
Of course, there is another way, that is to develop a zombie vaccine.
With the vaccine, you will not be so passive, and you will not become a zombie if bitten.
From the current point of view, the survivors who have survived to the present can basically face and solve one ordinary type of zombie alone, and even two or three are not difficult.
If it is not rainy weather, it may be possible to solve more.
Many survivors are bitten, most of the time they are attacked by zombies, or fall into the zombie tide and cannot escape.
The battle between humans and zombies is not equal.
When humans fight zombies, they can only attack the head to kill the zombies completely.
And to kill humans, zombies only need to bite any part of the human body, and only one bite can sentence the person to death.
But now, if humans fight against this kind of zombies one-on-one, most ordinary people may not be able to beat it.
After all, the skull of this zombie is too hard, and the only way to kill it is to stab it in the eyes.
The eyes are so small, and this kind of zombie will not wait for you to stab it, it will also move.
Facing this kind of zombie, it takes multiple people to cooperate to kill it.
Or there is another way, that is to use firearms, the power of the bullet is enough to penetrate the head of this zombie.
However, it is difficult for ordinary survivors to own firearms, and even if they have firearms, bullets are rare.
Uncle San thought a lot in a short time.
Turning around, he left the house with a heavy heart.
