Every time he opens the notebook, for Tang Xiaoquan, it is tantamount to the beginning of a spiritual baptism.
And this feeling became more and more profound for Tang Xiaoquan as the end of the world continued to pass.
Today's record can be said to be the one that Tang Xiaoquan was most afraid of and the most unwilling to do since he was seeking survival.
Because it involved a phenomenon that he didn't want to mention but had to mention: animal mutation.
There is no doubt that this is also a vocabulary developed by Tang Xiaoquan himself.
If the corpse dog I met in the village last time was just an exception, it might be the result of accidental mutation of the virus.
Then the five corpse dogs they encountered in the field yesterday were a good break of the above-mentioned good expectations.
Animals mutate! This is indeed something that can only make people horrified. Although Tang Xiaoquan cannot know whether all living things have the possibility of being transformed by the zombie virus, it is somewhat certain that this phenomenon does exist.
In addition, Tang Xiaoquan also paid special attention to the time of relevant records.
He was shocked to find that both zombie dogs and runners almost appeared about a month after the doomsday catastrophe broke out. This meant that the virus itself or the host itself was gradually adapting and coordinating with each other, and then reached The so-called "evolution".
Tang Xiaoquan couldn't help but worry about this. If this "evolution" is not a short-term behavior, but a long-term, continuous transformation mutation, then there will definitely be "zombie dogs" and "runners" in the future. "More powerful and terrifying mutant creatures.
In addition, through yesterday's battle, Tang Xiaoquan also discovered that, unlike the first zombie dog that was left alone, yesterday's five corpse dogs already had some basic abilities to cooperate in hunting.
Some clues can be seen from the fact that they bypassed the 8 men who had protective capabilities and pounced on the panicked women.
In other words, Tang Xiaoquan's previous theory that corpses are brainless is also declared wrong, although there is currently no evidence to prove that corpses have perfect IQs.
But whether it’s out of instinct or evolution, yesterday’s zombie dogs did show the characteristics of “intellectual combat”.
And if "evolution" can really change the "intelligence" system of the mutated host, then the ultimate fate of mankind...
As he wrote this, Tang Xiaoquan's writing suddenly stopped, and all kinds of thoughts suddenly flooded into his brain like wild beasts.
Finally, he sadly dropped 6 small dots at the end of the record, and then slowly closed the book.
yes! Six small dots, a simple ellipsis, but the helplessness and worry about the fate of mankind contained in it may only be understood by the person involved, Tang Xiaoquan himself.
At sunset, the sun faded away its color, and the moonlight tonight was not clear, just like Tang Xiaoquan's state of mind, cold and dark.
Most of his companions noticed something strange about Tang Xiaoquan, but whenever they asked about him, he always gave a vague smile. Asking for mercy was an attempt to relieve his troubles, but there was no way to do so.
In this regard, Tang Xiaoquan had no choice but to do so. As someone who often dabbles in psychological books, he certainly knew that talking to others at this time was the most appropriate and correct way to do it.
But... how can he explain to everyone what's going on in his mind right now?
After all, even if he told the truth frankly, it would not change anything. On the contrary, it would only increase the troubles of his partners.
So...just let these damn "inferences" rot in your stomach!
For dinner, Wei Yang cooked a pot of hot noodle soup made with black bean sauce for everyone. She specially added some crushed peanuts and fruit and vegetable pellets from instant noodles as a seasoning.
The purpose is to allow the survivors with single tastes to slightly improve their food.
To be honest, it was really difficult for this kind-hearted woman, even though the elderly Aunt Zhao saw Wei Yang racking his brains every day, relying on the scarce food and insufficient condiments to find ways to make three meals for everyone. After the action, I also secretly admired the girl's perseverance and carefulness.
After dinner, the survivors once again took out their pokers and started a fierce battle. This was one of the few entertainment items they had at the moment.
"MD, it would be great if I could get a few computers connected to the Internet and play some games!" Wang Qiang sighed as he shuffled the cards in his hand.
As soon as he said these words, he immediately aroused the response of Wenquan Xin and Wu Chao, who were similar in age.
"Isn't that right? I have almost forgotten the touch of the keyboard now!"
"Hey, don't talk about computers, I'll be satisfied if I can get a PSP!"
"That's right! Don't tell me, if we have a chance to go out later, we really have to buy a handheld game console. Damn it, we can't use the electricity, so we can't use the battery!"
"Yeah! That's what Xiao Wen said. It's really true. We really need to do it quickly. Otherwise, in a few years, when the batteries are all expired, we really won't have the chance to do it again in this life. It’s a game!”
"Come on, it's Chaozi, you have a crow-mouthed mouth, you can say all the damn depressing things, hurry up, hurry up! Play your cards now!" Wang Qiang interrupted the meaningless complaint.
But as the saying goes, the speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention. The casual words of King Wu and Wen fell into Tang Xiaoquan's ears, but they aroused his thoughts.
But before Tang Xiaoquan could think about it, a muffled thunder broke through the silent dusk.
The sky seemed to become depressed in an instant, and the moon, which originally had half of its head exposed, was now completely wrapped in thick dark clouds.
The candlelight on the table began to sway uncontrollably from side to side, and the figures reflected on the wall began to sway ghostly as if driven by magic.
The wanton wind blew across the ground and raised bursts of sand and dust, and the trees outside the factory kept making miserable howls.
In an instant, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, like a giant dragon piercing the clouds, blasting away the dark clouds covering the sky and the moon.
Soon, silver streaks fell down, first a little, then gradually became finer, and finally became several seamless curtains.
Almost at the same time, everyone in the factory stopped what they were doing. They all looked out the window. When they saw the millions of "silver wires" and heard the familiar "drumbeats", everyone's faces There was a look of joy that could not be concealed on everyone.
It's raining! The moment the survivors have been waiting for has finally arrived!
"Wow!" I don't know if he was too excited or too nervous. All in all, Lin Junfu jumped up from his position a little rudely, so that the violent movement directly shook the chess pieces on the table. on the ground.
Without bothering to pick up the fallen chess pieces, Lin Junfu raised his arms and shouted loudly without saying a word: "Everyone, stop standing there and take all the pots and pans to the open space to get the water!!"
