Some people in the village are sitting in front of the door and basking in the sun, some are strolling leisurely, and some are working in the fields not far away. It looks like a paradise.
But the strange thing is that everyone seems to be in a state of confusion. Their movements are extremely slow, and their gait staggers every step of the way, as if they are about to fall down at any time while half asleep and half awake.
Under the crooked-necked tree in the center of the village, a strong man was handling the third-level mutated black eagle that he had dragged back.
But it is not so much processing as eating! He held a sharp ax in his hand, but he tore off the flesh and blood of the third-level mutated black eagle with his bare hands, and then threw it directly into his mouth without cooking it! He even used
The ax smashes those hard bones and digs out the delicious marrow.
His sleeves were soaked in terrifying scarlet, and his constant swallowing made him look like a demon.
But the people around him were not surprised at all. Instead, they looked at the strong man with envy and slowly gathered around him. There was a hint of envy and greed in their black pupils, as if they hoped that the strong man would give them a piece of it.
"That's my fourth uncle..."
"What's wrong with everyone...how did you become like this..."
Chen Niuniu's voice began to tremble uncontrollably. That strong man was his fourth uncle. Usually when his father was drunk and he beat his mother, his fourth uncle always stood up to stop him. Every time the fourth uncle's huge physique stopped in that direction, his father would not stop.
Dare to continue taking action.
There is also his neighbor's Aunt Li, his childhood sweetheart who plays with big pillars and Grandpa Wang who likes to play chess...
Everything has changed!
Others were also stunned by the scene in front of them. The person who was behaving properly was undoubtedly a zombie, but the black pupils were different from the zombies. They could also use tools, which was completely different from the zombies!
"Brother, are they still alive..." Chen Niuniu asked, which was also everyone's question.
Yu Tian shook his head: "Still alive, but life is worse than death. This situation is because the nightmare virus and another mutant reached a strange balance in their bodies and became symbionts."
"Co-existence?"
"Yes. The strong genetic mutation caused by the nightmare virus will most likely cause the host to become ill and die, but another variant that also resides in these people wants the host to live. Both sides are competing for control of this body.
So the mutant and the nightmare virus reached a strange balance in the body, dying but not dying."
"This is a bit like a six-legged black widow parasitic organism, except that after the six-legged black widow parasitizes the human body, it can directly suppress the nightmare virus and prevent the host from turning into a zombie. However, this mutant cannot suppress the nightmare virus, so it becomes
This half-dead symbiote possesses both human and zombie behaviors."
Yu Tian paused and looked at Chen Niuniu solemnly: "Niuniu, we can't save this kind of people. Your relatives are basically dead. I need to clean them up."
Chen Niuniu's face turned completely pale when she saw this scene. When she heard the word "clean up", her fists clenched and trembled, and two lines of tears burst from her eyes.
"Then do they still know me?" Chen Niuniu gritted her teeth and asked the final question.
"I don't know. Their consciousness should have been taken over by zombies. Now all their anthropomorphic behaviors are just memory instincts in their body functions."
"And -" Yu Tian's eyes flashed with a ruthless look: "If I guess correctly, the mutant that fights the nightmare virus is the culprit we are looking for."
Streptococcus pneumoniae mutans...
Everyone suddenly realized that Streptococcus pneumoniae needs to live in living bodies to survive and reproduce, but the cells of zombies have died and lost their activity, so if the mutated Streptococcus pneumoniae wants to reproduce, these people must be alive.
The nightmare virus wants the human to die, while the mutated Streptococcus pneumoniae wants the host to live. The two sides have fundamentally irreconcilable conflicts and are constantly fighting within the body. In the end, the two sides obtain this inexplicable symbiont under the balance!
Or the living dead!
At this time, I heard a cough coming from the front. A woman lay on the wall and coughed violently. Then a splash of blood splashed directly on the front wall and flowed down the snow-white wall. The symptoms were exactly the same as those caused by mutated Streptococcus pneumoniae infection!
This cough seemed to be contagious, and other people also started coughing, vomiting blood. They began to walk collectively to the river behind the village, lying on the riverside and swallowing the river water in big mouths, as if they wanted to use the cold water.
The river water washes away the deadly itching in the throat.
But while drinking water, he kept coughing and vomited mouthfuls of blood into the river water.
This couldn't be more obvious.
It’s no wonder that these people are not threatened by mutant beasts when they go out, because the mutant beasts know that they are infected with this deadly bacteria and will die if they eat it! So instead, the mutant beasts avoid these villagers and even travel long distances to reach the village.
Drink water from another water source.
"Niuniu, I'm sorry. For the safety of thousands of people in the entire water plant, I have to eradicate them."
Yu Tian's eyes instantly turned cold, and he walked out from behind the house, aiming the red lotus karma fire at everyone in front of him. Chu Yue and Hranev also walked out.
The appearance of the three people immediately attracted the attention of the villagers. They were stunned at first, and then a bloodlust slowly emerged in their eyes, and then they slowly but firmly walked towards the three people when they opened their eyes.
Seeing this scene, Chen Niuniu's heart completely died. This is completely the behavior of a zombie.
Yang Li buried Chen Niuniu's face tightly in her arms and covered Chen Niuniu's ears with her hands.
"Niuniu, be good, we won't listen or watch, my sister will stay with you."
"Ooooooo, sister..." Chen Niuniu threw herself into Yang Li's arms, trembling all over.
As soon as he finished speaking, the violent roar of bullets sounded.
"Leave no one behind."
Da da da.
In the fierce fire, all the villagers fell down one by one. In their eyes, there were confusion, doubts, and a slight sense of relief. In the past two months, they have been trying to die, trying to get better, and everything has been difficult for them.
It's all a kind of torture.
Death is liberation!
When the gunfire stopped, all the villagers had fallen down, and their bodies were even ignited by flames.
The corpse by the river was lying in the river, and black blood had begun to flow down the river. It seemed that the mutated Streptococcus pneumoniae was still at a disadvantage in the fight against the nightmare virus. It wouldn't take long for these things to happen.
Everyone should still turn into zombies.
"Woooooooo..."
The gunshots stopped, leaving only the sound of wind and Chen Niuniu's moans.
Khranev and Chu Yue searched for the corpses one by one to ensure that every villager was completely dead. Yu Tian tested the upstream samples of the river water, and sure enough, the mutated Streptococcus pneumoniae in the river water quickly disappeared without interference.
Their remains were then gathered together and placed side by side.
Such sources of pathogenic bacteria must be completely cremated to prevent future harm.
