The second wave of zombies in the apocalypse began, catching most countries by surprise.
Huo Yingqing sent reporting messages to several previous mailboxes on the day he returned home. Huaxia also discovered the restart of the corpse tide at the first time and controlled most of the disasters as quickly as possible.
Ji Yanyu came to the safe house once to get information. According to him, the government buried Wei Wenping in the national cemetery. The man who caused Wei Wenping's death was used as a coolie to build the safe house, and his life was definitely not as good as before the end.
The originally relaxed atmosphere on the Internet fell into unprecedented panic when it was learned that the zombie virus is not only spread through bites, but may also have an incubation period like the previous Omicron. Even if the government continues to publish positive information, It cannot stop the spread of despair.
Ji Yanyu rejoined the helicopter rescue team. He did not ask Huo Yingqing to join. In comparison, he and his superiors believed that they were helping the country if they could ensure their own safety.
On the one hundred and sixty-third day of the apocalypse, everything returned to its original state.
Maybe there is one person who is not.
Huo Yingqing, who continued to return to the window to monitor the situation, noticed that Zhou Zuifeng, who was able to watch the episode of Concubine Xi Returning to the Palace four times a day, had not looked at his phone for a week in a row. He seemed to be competing with someone, focusing on He devoted himself to studying the last knowledge that the teacher left for him.
Huo Youyu lamented more than that. In the quiet room, it seemed like there were only three of them left in the world. It turned out that the end without the talkative person was the real end.
Huo Yingqing has been looking at the records of the property management group of the community. As time goes by, there are only a few people talking in the group. There are only about twenty people in total. They either can't hold on and jump off the building, or they move to the nearest safety station. There are fewer and fewer people staying. What’s interesting is that Huo Youyu’s father is obviously one of the people who stayed. The surrounding area is getting more and more desolate, and there is often no sound for several days in a row. The shelter where they are located, It seems to be an isolated island.
Zhou Zuifeng has been immersed in research all day long, and Huo Yingqing is not a talkative person. The only one who can't stand loneliness is Huo Youyu, who spends all day cooking dishes in the bathroom.
Summer has arrived, and the closed houses are very hot. Many residents in the community have spoken out and thanked the power supply stations and water supply stations that have not stopped working or collapsed.
To be precise, only the power supply station had no problems.
The Internet began to spread wildly that after nuclear sewage entered the inland, it brought not only horrifying zombies, but also mutated beasts, plants that began to prey on meat, and babies with two heads. What frightened netizens the most , are mutated birds flying around in the sky.
The docile and timid birds were controlled by the zombie virus. Their eyes were filled with maggots and they flapped their wings, spreading the virus to every corner of the city.
The greater harm caused by zombie birds is to those rescue helicopters.
Ji Yanyu had several phone calls with Huo Yingqing, but he told him that the sound of helicopter propellers was a great attraction to zombie birds. The attack of the birds would directly attack the pilot, causing the helicopter to crash. In just one month, the country has already lost more than a dozen outstanding first responders, and these are the country's precious talents. Before a method to deal with zombie birds was developed, the country had to give up the air rescue strategy.
There was no good news all summer. According to incomplete statistics, due to this catastrophe, the global population dropped by 70%, and among the survivors, China accounted for 37%.
————————
On the 260th day of the apocalypse, the summer heat gradually dissipated. Zhou Zuifeng, who had been in seclusion in the laboratory for a month, finally opened the door, stared at a face with stubble and disheveled hair, and rushed to the window with his hands stretched out. , accepting the baptism of sunshine like any middle school boy.
Huo Yingqing, who was so bored that he was playing chess with Huo Youyu, looked at the foot that suddenly broke in and kicked over the chessboard, murderous intent rising in his eyes.
Huo Youyu covered his mouth and backed away, looking at Zhou Zuifeng with gloating: "You're done. This is the closest my sister has come to victory."
Zhou Zuifeng's eyes widened and he looked at Huo Yingqing with his legs crossed and taking a deep breath, trembling and afraid to speak.
After adjusting his mood, Huo Yingqing clasped his hands together, then raised his head and said, "You'd better succeed."
Zhou Zuifeng grinned, stepped back from the range of Huo Yingqing's eyes, and then said: "Half of it was successful... right?"
Seeing that the two girls didn't seem to be moving, Zhou Zuifeng cleared his throat and explained seriously:
"After these days of research, we found that nuclear sewage has gradually produced many radioactive elements in current rainfall and water use. Zombie viruses rely on these radioactive elements to survive and even develop. Those elements and elements cannot be purified from the water that citizens have been drinking. Viruses, so the zombie virus will be hidden in the body, and when the radioactive elements drank have accumulated enough in the body, the zombie virus will explode."
"So the teacher and I think that by getting rid of those radioactive elements, the zombie virus can lose the environment it needs to survive and lose its activity. In this way, although it is impossible to reverse the people who have turned into zombies, it can ensure that the zombie virus can survive in drinking water, etc. Hidden dangers in items disappear, there is no longer the danger of hidden zombie viruses, and people will no longer be exposed to radiation and shorten their lifespan.”
"The medicines developed by the teacher and me have been able to neutralize some of the radioactive elements in the radiolysis, but not all. And now the neutralizing agent I have developed can already decompose 60% of the radioactive elements in the blood of zombies. In other words, the potion is very close to success, but... I have no way to test it on real people to get the exact effect."
After saying so much in one breath, Zhou Zhuifeng gasped slightly. Huo Yingqing gave him a glass of water, and the worry between his eyebrows was much lessened: "It has been more than two months, and finally there is good news."
"I just don't think I should immerse myself in it anymore. I can hardly recite the lines in Zhen Huan's story." Zhou Zuifeng scratched his hair that partially covered his eyes:
"Now I just want to shave my beard, get a cool haircut, and then relive my Legend of Zhen Huan. It's so uncomfortable."
"No problem." Huo Yingqing picked up a pair of scissors and pointed to the chair in front of him: "Sit down."
Zhou Zuifeng took a step back again: "You... want to cut it for me??"
Huo Youyu raised his hand eagerly: "How about I come?"
No, this kid has bad intentions written all over his face.
Zhou Zuifeng turned around and looked at Huo Yingqing, his eyes filled with tears:
"Hairstyle is my second life, Ah Ci, I leave my life to you."
