Zhang Xun said it was so scary, but in fact he just took off the bandage on Chen Zhian's head.

But after taking it apart, everyone was surprised to find that the original wound that penetrated into the brain had healed!

"Wow, a living medical miracle!" Zhang Xun's eyes suddenly lit up.

"No, he is actually dead." Xiao Jin corrected him.

Zombies are not considered alive.

After thoroughly understanding the ins and outs, several people were almost certain that Chen Zhian was not infected.

After all, according to what Jiang Li had just seen and some claims on the Internet, this zombie virus infects extremely quickly, and it takes almost half a minute for a bite to completely infect it.

"Is it possible that this kind of thing is actually in the air? It's just that the concentration is not high. We all have certain antibodies, so we are not infected?" Zhang Xun made his own guess.

Jiang Li had been busy escaping for his life before, so he had never considered this problem.

In fact, if you calm down and think about it carefully, you will find a lot of strange things.

Judging from the information on the Internet, this zombie outbreak is global. Whether it is hot equatorial countries or cold high-latitude countries, zombie crises have broken out without warning. At two o'clock in the afternoon, mankind One after another they fell down and turned into zombies when they got up again.

"It seems that this virus has an extremely long incubation period and is highly infectious, and then it was catalyzed by some kind and broke out at the same time... Damn it, how can this be more science fiction than a science fiction movie? Huh!?" Zhang Xun was a little crazy, after all, this virus was completely beyond his cognition.

At least based on his current experience, this zombie virus simply cannot exist!

"Why does he look like his worldview has collapsed?" Lin Muxi complained softly.

"Maybe it's true?" Jiang Li was also quite upset.

Although she was also curious about what the zombie virus was about, what was more important now was how to survive and reach S University.

And it was not just Zhang Xun who collapsed, but also experts in laboratories thousands of miles away.

When zombies break out in the first place, the quickest response is the army, especially the army in important areas. Although the number of initial infections was large, the zombies were still unable to fight back when faced with thermal weapons. After a brief period of chaos, the soldiers cleaned up the zombies in the army and contacted the surviving senior officials.

Thanks to the improvement of various infrastructures and the fact that zombies will not actively destroy base stations, armies across the country quickly restored communications and began to actively carry out rescue operations.

Just as Luo Suo said at the beginning, after establishing a safe point, the army did launch a rescue, but the first target of the rescue was the elites or talents trapped in various places.

Thousands of miles away in the capital, in an underground experimental base a hundred meters deep.

"Academician Liu, how are you doing with your research on this large-scale virus outbreak?" The man's voice was unhurried, but anyone could hear the worry in it. This middle-aged man in his forties had already spent the whole night. His head turned gray with sorrow.

"Report to the leader, we, we have made some progress so far." Academician Liu looked at Mr. Wang carefully. What he meant was that not much progress had been made. He called to the assistant next to him and displayed the tablet. "According to preliminary research, this may be an extraterrestrial virus..."

To be honest, this sounds like nonsense.

But what he said is indeed true. As we all know, there are two types of viruses on the earth, DNA viruses and RNA viruses. This virus looks like a type of DNA virus, but its genetic code is very strange, unlike any other on the earth. None of the gene fragments match...

It's like it appeared randomly out of thin air. What's even more frightening is that this DNA virus has even more exaggerated variability than RNA viruses. So far, they have recorded more than ten special variants. Don't say anything that's not yet determined.

And this virus can not only infect humans, but also cats and dogs, as well as tigers and elephants.

Fortunately, rats will not be infected, and rats that eat zombie meat will die suddenly. Otherwise, they can't imagine what kind of disaster it will be if rats in the city are collectively infected.

In other words, organisms that are too small are not within the scope of infection.

While explaining, Academician Liu turned down the ppt on the tablet.

"Leader, you see, after entering the human body, this virus will start to multiply in large numbers, quickly destroy the immune system, and then follow the blood circulation to the whole body, and attack the brain. It will kill some of the people's brain cells. At this time, the person The person's consciousness will begin to become blurred, and the capillaries near the eyes will rupture, causing the eyes to become bloodshot. When the person's consciousness is completely lost, the virus will completely occupy the brain."

"Then are they still alive?" The leader rubbed his aching head, his tone a bit unbearable and sad.

"... From a medical point of view, it doesn't matter anymore." Academician Liu was silent for a moment, "Their brains are dead, and all behaviors are controlled by viruses, and they try every means to obtain energy."

The best source of energy is the living flesh and blood around you.

Moreover, under the control of the virus, the human body's self-protection mechanism no longer works, so all zombies are like strong men and tireless.

Logically speaking, such a creature will definitely consume itself quickly. If left alone, it may starve to death in a few days, and even run to death from exhaustion. But after their experiments in the past few days, these Zombies will not destroy themselves, but will evolve themselves...

It's as if they can live just by breathing, which is so unreasonable.

Moreover, if there is enough energy supply, these zombies will evolve rapidly.

And now there is a more serious problem. There have been many eyewitness reports that found that even uninfected organisms will mutate after death. This shows that there are viruses in the air, and everyone may be the next one. Mutating objects.

"By the way, we currently name this virus X virus."

X represents unknown, just like the situation they are currently facing, everything is unknown, even the understanding of the virus is mediocre.

After listening to Academician Liu's explanation, the leader's expression became more solemn, and finally he just let out a long sigh and said, "I hope you can produce an antiviral serum as soon as possible."

"Yes, we will do our best!" Dean Liu saluted and respectfully watched the leader leave.

After leaving the underground experimental base, a heavily armed soldier handed the leader a tablet as soon as he arrived on the ground.

After reading the content on the tablet, the leader's solemn expression finally relaxed a little, and even nodded appreciatively.

He returned the tablet to the soldier and ordered:

"You send the tablet to the broadcast station and let them send out the characteristics and weaknesses of these zombies through all means!"
