Chapter 1364: Wall-Climbing Zombies, a Major Discovery!

On a small hill eight kilometers away from the Oil City, Lao Xie and a dozen other people parked the Big Mac there, and the zombies surrounded them.

The effect was almost the same as the last time the potion was used.

The only difference was that the zombies were attracted for a longer time this time.

Since Lao Xie opened the potion, the smell of the potion has been released for a week, but the zombies are still around the Big Mac.

Time flows slowly, and four days have passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Uncle San and others could see with telescopes on the wall that the zombies around the hill were retreating.

This means that the effectiveness of the Type III zombie attraction potion is decreasing.

Another day later, most of the zombies that had gathered on the hill returned to the wall of the trading market.

The thunderstorm disaster has lasted for nearly three months so far.

The trading market has not changed much from the past, but people die of starvation or disease every day.

Faced with such a situation, the Oil City is powerless.

Food is limited, and they don’t know how long the disaster will last.

Although Li Yu had found Qing Yuan to do divination, it was not a 100% certainty, and they did not dare to gamble.

Lao Xie and his team were back, and the zombie tide was back.

Volunteers from the oil field and the trading market took turns to fight.

During this period, they found that there were more and more mutant zombies.

Whenever such zombies were found, the combatants would directly join the battle and kill them with guns.

It was difficult to kill these mutant zombies with the steel pipes in the hands of the volunteers. Only occasionally, the volunteers happened to hit the eyes of such zombies, and the zombies would die.

Meeting room of the Oil City.

"There are more and more zombies that can climb the wall. 23 were found yesterday alone. These zombies mutate very quickly and can now climb the wall."

Xiao Jun looked serious and stood up to report the current situation to everyone.

He was the chief officer who had just come down from the wall of the trading market this morning and knew the situation outside best.

Everyone was shocked to hear the news. They never expected that the zombies that climbed the wall would change so quickly.

The first mutant zombie of this kind was only able to stay on the wall for two seconds, but after only one and a half months, it has evolved to be able to climb the wall.

It is fine that it can climb like a gecko, and the climbing speed is quite fast.

This has led to a sudden increase in the manpower required on the wall, and combat personnel are needed at all times to shoot them once they are found.

These climbing zombies are hidden among ordinary zombies, and it is difficult to be found under the cover of heavy rain, unless this kind of zombie starts to climb against the wall, it is easy to be found.

This also means that even when the oil array is opened, combat personnel need to take turns to watch, in case one or two climbing zombies are missed and run out.

Uncle San also feels a little tricky. This ghost disaster has continued without any signs of ending, and the zombies have mutated into such a disgusting variant.

Now the type III zombie attraction potion has been used up. If the trading market and the oil city want to continue to hold on, they can only rely on the assistance of volunteers in the oil array and the trading market.

Although bullets can easily kill these wall-climbing zombies, bullets are not infinite and will eventually run out.

It is unknown when the natural disaster will end, and the number of these wall-climbing zombies is also increasing. This uncertainty is the source of fear.

At this time, the operator sitting in the back suddenly said to Uncle San:

"Minister, the mayor of the headquarters base is looking for you."

Uncle San immediately stood up and walked to the radio station. After chatting for a few words, his face was a little solemn, but soon a hint of joy appeared.

"Okay, I know."

Uncle San turned around and returned to his seat at the top. Everyone was looking at him. They also wanted to know what news came from the headquarters base.

Uncle San saw that everyone was looking at him, took a sip of water and said:

"The headquarters base also found zombies that can climb walls. This is good news and bad news."

"If the headquarters base gets the sample of this mutant zombie as soon as possible, they can study it as soon as possible and come up with a way to restrain this zombie.

But the appearance of this kind of zombie at the headquarters base also means that this kind of zombie crawling on the wall is not only found near the Oil City, it is not an exception, but a universal phenomenon.

In the future, we may encounter this kind of zombie frequently."

When everyone heard the news, their expressions were a little complicated.

The Oil City is not like the Big Camphor Tree Base. There are no complete scientific research equipment and no professional biological experts.

If the headquarters base gets the sample earlier, perhaps they can come up with a solution earlier.

Big Camphor Tree Base.

Research Institute.

Under the bright incandescent light, Li Yu stood with his hands crossed, quietly looking at the zombie in the bulletproof glass.

Through the transparent bulletproof glass, you can clearly see the soft hairs on the hands and feet of this zombie, sticking to the glass, and this zombie crawling along the glass.

The iron chain on his feet made a clanging sound.

In addition, the zombie's chest was protruding, revealing hard bone spurs.

"Is this the wall-climbing zombie found in Oil City a month ago?" Li Yu asked after looking at the zombie for a while.

Bai Jie beside him nodded and said:

"Combined with their descriptions from Oil City: bone spurs protruding from the chest, soft hair spurs growing on the hands and feet, the ability to climb, and a hard skull.

The characteristics they described are basically consistent with this zombie, I think it should be the same type of zombie."

"Have you researched anything? What do you think are the conditions for this zombie to mutate?" Li Yu twisted his neck, making a clicking sound.

Bai Jie took out a slice research report from the table next to him, glanced at it and said:

"Since zombies can eat their own kind, sensitive zombies and power zombies have appeared one after another. Through slice research, it was found that the virus content in this wall-climbing zombie is ten times higher than that of ordinary zombies."

"It is even about three times higher than that of sensitive and power zombies."

"So we judge that the reason why this wall-climbing zombie mutated is the same as the formation of several other mutant zombies: eating its own kind to increase the amount of virus, and being catalyzed by trace elements in the rainstorm, leading to changes."

While Bai Jie was talking about this, Li Yu moved closer to observe the wall-climbing zombie imprisoned in the bulletproof glass.

The zombie climbing the wall inside had no hair on its body, and its eyes were sunken. The biggest difference from other ordinary zombies was the bone spurs protruding from the chest of this zombie.

Roar!

The zombie imprisoned inside saw Li Yu sticking to the bulletproof glass, and immediately climbed down, roaring through the bulletproof glass.

But because the mouth was welded shut by the iron cover, the iron cover was directly welded to its head, which made the roar hoarse and weak.

It just lay on the glass for a few seconds and immediately ran back to the corner of the glass room.

"It's so ugly." Looking at this hideous zombie, Li Yu couldn't help complaining.

This was also the first time he saw this kind of zombie. He had never lived through a thunderstorm disaster in his previous life, nor had he seen this kind of wall-climbing zombie.

"Ahem, haha." Xiaolan, Madi, Zhao Ke, Kong Shuang, Wang Yin and other scientific researchers beside him held back their laughter after hearing Li Yu's complaints.

The city lord's attention angle was quite unique.

"It looks a little agitated." Li Yu looked at the zombie jumping up and down, and seemed to be very uncomfortable.

"Was this zombie also so agitated when it was just caught?"

"Yes, it was like this when it was caught."

Li Yu stared at the zombie, and his keen observation made him realize that it seemed that the zombie was avoiding the light source in the room.

It just rushed over and stuck to the glass for a few seconds and then quickly retreated into the glass room.

It seemed to be trying its best to avoid the light in the room,

but this was in the research room, the light was diffuse, and the incandescent light was very bright, so this zombie couldn't completely avoid the light.

"Go turn off the lights in the laboratory." Li Yu squinted and said softly.

"Huh? Okay, Xiaolan, go turn off the lights." Bai Jie was a little confused at first, but soon saw through Li Yu's intention.

He wanted to conduct a light sensitivity test. When they studied the characteristics of zombies, they would always use various methods to test, including light test, illumination test, hearing test, and smell test.

Light test.

In fact, they had caught other zombies before, and they would go through this test, which was a basic operation test, but this zombie had just been caught, and they had not yet tested this test, but only sliced ​​it for pathological research.

Click!

The incandescent lamps on the left were instantly turned off.

The light in the laboratory dimmed a little.

But this zombie did not move, and it remained the same as before.

"Continue."

Click!

The incandescent lamps in the middle were turned off.

The laboratory was mostly dark.

Everyone focused their attention on this zombie, trying to see if this zombie would be less agitated.

The zombie, who had originally turned his back to everyone, suddenly turned around slowly and seemed to be much calmer.

It really works!

Li Yu's eyes lit up, "Night vision goggles."

Madi quickly found a pair from the cabinet next to him and handed it over. This kind of night vision goggles are equipped in their research institute, and they are used to study the changes in zombies' movements under different light levels.

All researchers have a pair of night vision goggles and put them on.

"All turned off!"

Click!

The laboratory instantly fell into darkness, and it was pitch dark.

But through the night vision goggles, they saw this wall-climbing zombie suddenly jump over and hit the bulletproof glass with a bang.

"Huh?"

However, after it hit the glass, it did not run away immediately like it did just now, but continued to hit the bulletproof glass.

Dongdongdong!

The bulletproof glass was hit with a muffled sound.

With the power of this zombie alone, it is impossible to knock the bulletproof glass open.

Seeing that this zombie still stayed here, Wang Yin exclaimed:

"Is it afraid of light?"

"Flashlight!" Li Yu did not rush to make a judgment and shouted to Bai Jie.

Bai Jie quickly found a flashlight and handed it over, but what she did not notice was that she handed over an ultraviolet flashlight.

Ultraviolet flashlights like this are often used in scientific research institutes and medical treatments,

especially in this kind of viral research institute, ultraviolet lamps are basically basic configurations.

It can effectively disinfect viruses in the air.

In the medical field, ultraviolet lamps are also widely used, including several categories: disinfection, diagnosis, and treatment.

The characteristics of ultraviolet lamps enable them to have good bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects, and can directly kill bacteria or viruses in superficial tissues.

Humans will be fine for a short time under ultraviolet rays.

However, long-term exposure will cause damage to the eyes or even blindness, and may also cause skin cancer.

Click!

Li Yu pushed the button and shone it towards the zombie climbing the wall.

"Why is this color purple-blue?"

Looking at the color of the light, Li Yu frowned slightly.

Bai Jie saw it and said quickly:

"Sorry, sorry, Lord, I got the wrong one. This is an ultraviolet lamp. I'll get it for you again."

As she said that, she ran to the drawer at the back to look for it.

"No need!"

Li Yu suddenly said.

"Huh?"

Bai Jie stopped her movements and saw that Li Yu was still shining on the zombie, so she looked over curiously.

I saw that the zombie was trying its best to avoid the ultraviolet light, just like a mouse seeing a cat, and fled frantically.

This is different from the state under the incandescent light just now.

Under the incandescent light, although it showed some disgust, it was definitely not to the extent of fear.

And when Li Yu used the ultraviolet lamp in his hand to shine, the zombie dodged very quickly.

It was fear!

Fear to the extreme!

"Find a few more ultraviolet lamps and shine them on this zombie together." Li Yu's tone was slightly excited.

He felt that he seemed to have found a way to restrain this kind of zombie.

Soon.

Everyone took out ultraviolet flashlights and shone them on this zombie.

Under the irradiation of several beams of ultraviolet light, this wall-climbing zombie could not avoid it, jumping faster and faster, and the iron chain inserted on its feet made a rapid sound.

On the other side.

Madi even pushed a UV headlamp specially used for sterilization towards the direction of this wall-climbing zombie.

Plug in the power and turn on the switch.

Swish!

The diffuse light as big as a suitcase lit up.

In an instant, the strong ultraviolet light shone on this zombie, and the light from the flashlights held by Li Yu and others was swallowed up.

The whole laboratory was emitting purple-blue light, which looked a bit fantastic and colorful.

Roar!

This wall-climbing zombie roared and jumped, but there was nowhere to hide.

Boom boom boom!

The zombie hit the bulletproof glass hard.

This was the craziest time since the zombie entered the laboratory. It seemed that it was on the verge of death, which made the zombie explode completely.

Boom, boom, boom!

Everyone watched the zombie hitting frantically, and Li Yu did not call for a stop, so they had to continue watching.

After dozens of seconds, the zombie's impact force became smaller and smaller.

Until a minute later.

Plop!

The zombie fell to the ground, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

"Turn on the light." Li Yu shouted loudly after seeing the zombie fall.

Xiaolan immediately ran over and turned on the incandescent lamp.

The laboratory was instantly restored to light, and Madi also unplugged the ultraviolet headlight.

"Hiss!"

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them and took a breath.

There were some white debris on the bulletproof glass, which seemed to have fallen off the zombie.

And the zombie on the ground, whose originally white skin, instantly turned pitch black.

It was like pouring sulfuric acid on this zombie from head to toe. The skin on the surface corroded, and even the bones of the zombie could be seen.

The bones were also blackened.

The head of the zombie seemed to be melted, leaving a black liquid on the ground, and the skull was sunburned black.

"City Lord, I understand!"

Madi shouted excitedly:

"This kind of wall-climbing zombie has mutated due to swallowing a large number of its own kind and accumulating a large number of viruses, and has the ability to climb walls.

They are more agile and stronger than ordinary zombies.

But at the same time, they are more afraid of the sun than ordinary zombies. To be precise, they are not afraid of the sun or the lights, but the ultraviolet rays in the light!

Ultraviolet light is what they really fear!"

Ordinary zombies can actually survive in the sun, but in the sun, these ordinary zombies will slow down.

On the contrary, they will remain normal at night.

On the night of the rainstorm, they reached the peak of their strength.

And this kind of wall-climbing zombie has the most viruses in its body among all the mutant zombies they have seen.

The accumulation of viruses gave this zombie extremely strong strength, a hard skull, and even the ability to climb walls.

However, it also magnified the small weaknesses of ordinary zombies to the extreme.

It is afraid of ultraviolet rays!
