Chapter 133 A Trap
The aroma of gourmet food that once filled the streets was replaced by the stench of rotting corpses and the smell of blood. The high-rise buildings that were once brightly lit now have door glass shattered on the floor, and the inside is a mess.
This time it was Yan Qing who was driving. His driving skills were more stable than Du Qinglan's, but even so, the sound of the car on the road still shattered the peace.
After all, it was a bustling area in the past. Even if it has lost its former glory, it will still be busier than other places.
Neither of them could tell whether there would be zombies at the next intersection, or whether the zombies from those high-rise buildings would rush out, so they could only keep their voices as low as possible and stay alert.
Being in this area is no different than in the villa area before. There are many more zombies here than in the villa area. Even if you don't see them now, if some noise is made and attracts them, it will be difficult to hide.
Being cautious along the way, they did not encounter any danger. The two of them successfully entered the military area and began to search for the remaining supplies.
Looking at the deserted military area, Du Qinglan was filled with emotion.
This zombie wave broke out without warning, unlike in the movie, where there was a disease as the source and foreshadowing.
Within an hour, zombies suddenly appeared in various countries around the world, biting people everywhere like crazy. The scale and quantity were so large that it made people's livers and gallbladders burst.
Half an hour later, all TV stations, websites, and push notifications were occupied by emergency news, requiring residents to return home immediately, self-isolate, not open the door to others, and wait for official action.
Just when everyone thought that the authorities would come forward to suppress this disaster, the second batch of zombies appeared.
These zombies may be anyone in the world, they may appear in any group, they may be doctors, they may even be babies.
Race, age, gender... they have nothing in common except sudden transformation, sudden madness, and sudden bite.
According to the news, this transformation happened ten times around the world in one day.
Then, the network was cut off, all channels for obtaining news were gone, and no one knew whether the eleventh conversion had occurred.
Du Qinglan escaped at home because she was unemployed. She lived in a small courtyard. According to the zombie movies she had watched, she quickly protected her position when the first news came out, and she escaped.
.
Through the observation window left behind, she observed that zombies bite people not to transform people, but because of their instinctive hunger to eat humans.
In other words, if the bitten person cannot escape in time, they will not turn into zombies. They will have been eaten by zombies before they are transformed.
But zombies are essentially dead humans. Their physiological structure is the same as that of dead people. All functions of the human body have stopped functioning, including the intestines and stomach.
They eat endlessly but cannot feel full, and what they eat cannot be digested.
However, we did not see them excreting or vomiting, and there was no obvious bulge in their abdomens.
It wasn't until a month later, when Du Qinglan saw the same zombie wandering outside the door, that she suddenly realized what she was doing.
These zombies can rely on eating humans to slow down their own decay!
The more they eat, the slower they rot. Although they don’t know the principle, the things they eat should have been absorbed by them, so they don’t need to be excreted and will not be left in the stomach.
What made Du Qinglan even more panicked was that the actions of these zombies did not seem to rely on muscles and nerves. After all, these things were dead and had no vitality.
The way a zombie moves is very strange. If it is lame on one leg, it will choose to crawl with both hands and the other leg. If both legs are missing, it will also choose to crawl with both hands.
Its mode of action only has goals and no process, just like the programmers ridiculed on the Internet when writing programs. Don't worry about how it runs, as long as it can run.
That is to say, even if the zombie's body parts are defeated, it will attack and advance in other ways, and there is no problem of any damage affecting the surrounding muscles.
As long as you don't hit your head, it will go crazy and want to eat you. This is a zombie.
"Found it." Yan Qing poked her head out of a room and lowered her voice to Du Qinglan.
Du Qinglan trotted over and saw a heavy full-band radio in the box.
She knelt down and checked, and found that it was still powered by solar energy, which was really considerate.
The two people looked at each other. They were not greedy and had no intention of looking for other supplies. They just wanted to take this thing home safely.
Just as the two were carrying the radio and preparing to leave, they suddenly heard a woman's scream from upstairs: "Ah! I'm going to die!"
Du Qinglan's hand holding the radio trembled, and she subconsciously looked towards the direction from which the sound came.
The voice was very childish and she sounded very young. She was probably a female student who was still studying.
Military area, what are the female students doing here? Are they also looking for supplies?
"Let's go." Yan Qing said with a cold face, "Don't be too compassionate. Have you forgotten the little boy?"
Du Qinglan's heart skipped a beat, she was right, what if it was a trap again?
[Wait a minute, the time in the article is three months after the outbreak of the zombie wave, right? I remember reading a novel before, and the heroine went to the military region to look for supplies three months after the outbreak of the zombie wave!]
[I’ve read it too! Holy shit, if you look closely, it’s the same author! Is this a spin-off of that book? 】
[No, it should be a major revision. You see, this book has also been included in the recent collection of major revisions, and the original work can no longer be found on the website!]
[Lan Zai! Go and save the heroine! There are benefits! 】
[If I want Lan Zai to save people, this doesn’t necessarily mean it will work. It also depends on my ability.]
As the last comment appeared, there was also a reward of 300 points.
Du Qinglan immediately pushed the radio to Yan Qing, holding the baseball bat tightly in both hands: "I have to go take a look. If you don't want to go, just wait for me here."
As he spoke, he walked out, but after taking two steps, he stepped back.
Yan Qing looked at her calmly, as if he had known for a long time. This woman was timid and cherished her life. How could she save people alone?
However, Du Qinglan just took out a bunch of keys from her pocket and stuffed them into Yan Qing's trouser pocket: "This is the spare key to my house. I should have given it to you a long time ago. If anything changes, you should go home first."
After saying that, she picked up the baseball bat and rushed out, leaving Yan Qing with a stunned look on her face, staring at the keys in her hand.
This building is a dormitory building. It is clean and tidy, and there are no signs of zombies.
But Du Qinglan knew that on the first day of the zombie wave, the ten waves of transformation were all without warning. The transformation of zombies did not depend on whether you were a soldier. If your life was not good, you would be transformed in one second and you would be shot in the next second.
So there must have been zombies here, but they were controlled again.
But if that's the case, why are there still zombies left after the evacuation? Did the ones from outside get in?
It shouldn't be. It took a while for Du Qinglan and Yan Qing to get in, let alone those zombies.
Moreover, after the military area was evacuated, there was no one here. Why did the zombies come in?
Could it be that it was a zombie inside? It shouldn't be the case. If a zombie appears inside, it is either controlled and transferred to the institute, or it is killed on the spot to prevent it from causing harm to the world. How can it be possible that after all the people have left, the zombies are still left?
While thinking about it, Du Qinglan rushed up to the floor and muttered to gain courage: "Please, sister, please stop shouting. Even if there are no zombies, you can shout me over."
"Family members, please give the anchor a small reward. The anchor has sacrificed his life for a beauty today."
The comments section exposed her mercilessly:
【What do you think is a beauty? You are obviously here for reward!】
[But Lan Zai is so brave, he deserves some reward from us! I’ll go first!]
[Wait a minute! I have read the original work! This seems to be a trap! The real heroine is not here!]
However, when Du Qinglan saw the news, people had already rushed into the room where the sound came from.
The room was not closed, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw a mobile phone hanging on the bedside, which was playing "Help" in a childish female voice.
"Fuck..." Du Qinglan's heart went cold, "What the hell is this copycat machine? It's so loud!"
