Something was indeed wrong.
And it is a very serious matter, something that the "revolutionary army" is simply unable to deal with.
As mentioned before, the initial rioters were caused by the spread of the epidemic. A large number of people fell ill in the shelter, and Lucia officials did not handle the matter properly. This led to the riots that boiled over with public dissatisfaction.
But after the riots, the problem of disease spread was not solved.
On the contrary, due to the riots, a large number of people came out of the originally closed shelters, which created a way for the disease to spread and created a large number of infected people in a short period of time.
Originally, the Revolutionary Committee planned to wait until the situation stabilized before dealing with the epidemic.
They just isolated the infected people and sent out the few doctors they had to provide some treatment within their capabilities, hoping to control the situation.
This didn't seem to be a problem at first, but viruses can mutate.
In fact, as long as the virus proliferates, its genome will mutate all the time. Most of the mutations are lethal, and only a few can survive.
However, during an infection process, the virus needs to multiply millions of times, and there are naturally opportunities for mutation.
Usually, the mutation of the virus will only make it more adaptable to the environment, but occasionally it can become very dangerous, such as lethality, aerogels, droplet transmission, etc.
Although the possibility is very low, in theory there is still a virus mutation that can make people as aggressive as zombies.
In fact, this situation is not unheard of. For example, rabies is well-known to people. After infection, due to the attack on the nervous system, people will show a certain degree of mania, irritability and aggression.
Of course, this is only a possibility, and the mutated virus only makes living people highly aggressive. It is illegal to expect that the corpse can still move after death and have simple intelligence like in the movie. biological.
As for high-speed evolution and instant self-healing, which are standard among zombies, as well as things like telekinesis and brain stones, they only exist in speculation.
The problem encountered by the "Revolutionary Army" is that some of the infected people suddenly become manic, full of aggression, and even start biting other people.
This scene, which was like a zombie movie, scared everyone, and immediately made most of the infected people panic. They had no ability to distinguish whether it was rabies or a zombie virus. For a while, everyone thought it was rabies or a zombie virus. Zombie infection.
So they collapsed instantly.
Everyone is screaming and escaping from the quarantine area. Even the severely infected people who have lost the ability to move due to being infected with the virus are struggling to stay away from those who have become like zombies.
But they wanted to escape, but people outside the quarantine area did not dare to let them out.
Just kidding, there are those crazy zombie-like guys behind them. Who can guarantee that there will be no problem with these infected people?
So for a time, the gate of the quarantine area became a line between life and death. Outside the door was life, and inside the door was a hell of death and despair.
Fortunately, although the incident happened suddenly, it must be said that the Revolutionary Committee still had a few reliable people. They notified the committee as soon as possible, and leading members of the committee such as Dalia and Vasily arrived immediately. on site.
Seeing this tragic scene, Dalia naturally wanted to release the infected people inside immediately.
But her decision was blocked.
"Can't be released! They have turned into zombies. If we are released, we will all die!" The expressions on the faces of several strong Lucia men holding weapons were full of fear. Although they had guns in their hands, at this moment they My legs are shaking.
Even though Lucia's man is fearless, even a brown bear dares to slap it twice, but zombies are different.
Thanks to the popularity of zombie movies in recent years, everyone knows that this thing is contagious and will turn into the same thing if bitten, so no one dares to open this door.
Even though Dalia has always been very authoritative, no one is willing to listen to this order at this time.
Especially the screams that kept coming from the quarantine area made everyone reluctant to open the door that separated life and death.
But someone still rushed forward and prepared to open the door.
"What are you doing! Can't open the door!" The two strong men guarding the door pointed their guns directly at Vasily who was opening the door.
However, Vasily did not look at the gun pointed at his head at all, but said calmly: "These people can still be saved now. Even zombies cannot stop bullets. If we don't take advantage of the fact that there are fewer infected people, Keep the situation under control. When more and more people are infected, it will be uncontrollable!
And don’t forget, the virus can be spread through the air. If you could be infected, you would have been infected long ago. It’s not something you can get infected by just one bite! "
Although the two strong men who were frightened by Vasily's words kept pointing guns at Vasily's head, they never pulled the trigger.
Until he actually opened the door and released the infected who wanted to escape, the gun never fired.
Vasily, the two strong men, and everyone standing at the door quickly moved out of the way to avoid being dispersed by the surging crowd.
However, these infected people who escaped and ascended did not go very far. The quarantine area was a shelter area. The gate they were in just now was connected to the underground passage at the back, and the underground passage was already called by Vasily, who was well prepared. People were blocked.
Although these infected people escaped from the isolation area and were not bitten by the zombie-like guys inside, they were still restricted and isolated at this moment.
Vasily did not pay attention to these people who escaped. Instead, he grabbed a gun from the hand of the strong man next to him and pointed it directly at a guy who rushed out of the isolation area with a mouth full of blood and a ferocious expression on his face. Without hesitation he pulled the trigger.
The bullet was very effective and penetrated directly into the head of the infected person whose mouth was full of blood.
At this moment, Dalia also grabbed another gun and stood with Vasily. The two guns fired together, and more infected people with blood on their faces were knocked down.
Seeing Vasily and Dalia successfully knocking down these "zombies", with the blessing of "leading the charge", the people next to them who were originally sent to guard finally mustered up the courage to follow them and enter the isolation together. district.
"Tie up those who are not dead among these 'zombies' and take away the bodies. They are probably virus mutations. We need to let professionals take a look." Vasily thought of the doctors who had helped treat the wounded before and felt that they might Will know what is going on.
