Chapter 1696 The Underlying Logic of the End of the World Is Extremely Cruel
Over BY City, two helicopters are flying.
Except for the pilot, everyone in the helicopter focused on the ground in BY City, trying to find traces of humans.
The judge looked at his watch. Time passed slowly, and the fuel in the helicopter continued to be consumed.
They couldn't stay here that long, and it would be more efficient for two helicopters to disperse.
So he pressed the intercom to contact Nuts and the others:
"Nuts, let's search separately and notify each other if we find him. If we don't find him, we'll gather here later and return to Oil City together."
"Received." Nuts replied, and then gestured towards the driver Ma Dong.
Ma Dong also heard what the judge said, and he nodded.
He controlled the helicopter, made a big turn, and flew in the opposite direction.
Helicopters shuttled over the city, and zombies on the ground could be seen from time to time. When these zombies heard the sound of the helicopter, they raised their heads and roared.
However, it was too high, and these zombies could do nothing but roar.
As time passed, there was still no trace of the person who put the medicine in, which made the judge quite anxious.
Half an hour passed by in a flash, but I still couldn't find it.
Even if the judge was no longer willing to do so, he knew he had to leave.
Although they can stay in BY City to continue their investigation, this place is close to the northwest after all. If someone from the northwest discovers them, it will be very troublesome for them to leave.
Moreover, there are these terrifying zombies in BY City, so it is unwise to stay here.
"Nuts, stop looking. Let's return." The judge said through the walkie-talkie.
After Nut heard what the judge said, he looked at the ground below with some reluctance, "Copy that, I'll return now."
Ma Dong heard the conversation between the two and flew the helicopter to the agreed place.
Soon, Nut saw a helicopter flying from the west.
They followed the judge and flew towards Oil City.
In the helicopter.
The judge reported the situation here to his third uncle and gave his own guess.
The black-red liquid, plastic film, and glass jar were obviously left behind by people.
This red liquid smelled strongly of blood, and it must have been mixed with a lot of blood.
Coupled with the mutant zombies appearing here, he guessed that these liquids were the cause of the changes in the zombies here.
The third uncle listened to his report. When he heard that someone dropped an unknown liquid and attracted a large number of zombies, he immediately opened the map.
BY City is only 80 kilometers away from Wuyuan Mountain in Malaoliu.
If the liquid was artificially injected, this Ma Laoliu would definitely be the first person to be suspected.
The third uncle squinted his eyes. He thought about Xu Zhiyi, whom he had captured from the northwest.
I know that Ma Laoliu is quite keen on researching zombie vaccines.
Even before, in the research laboratory of Wuyuan Mountain, they created a wall-climbing zombie that was not afraid of ultraviolet light.
Later, when Xu Zhiyi passed by Wuyuan Mountain and headed to the north, he killed the wall-climbing zombie that was not afraid of ultraviolet light and warned Ma Laoliu.
In addition, Ma Laoliu previously learned that Oil City has the ability to control zombies.
He sent people to the trading market and agreed to cooperate with Oil City. The core purpose was to get the zombie antidote from Oil City.
Zombie antidote is not very realistic.
There is some possibility that a zombie vaccine can prevent people from being bitten by zombies and turning into zombies.
But the third uncle didn't even dare to think of a zombie antidote that could turn zombies back into humans.
In order to win Ma Laoliu's surrender, the third uncle agreed to them and promised that as long as Ma Laoliu could obtain the meteorites from the northwest, Oil City would be able to develop a zombie antidote for him.
After all, the extraterrestrial meteorite was still too difficult to deal with. Ma Laoliu had no idea how to deal with it, and the matter was settled in the future.
All this, combined with everything before, the third uncle almost concluded that the artificially injected liquid must be related to Ma Laoliu.
But why did he do this?
Experiment?
But isn’t this kind of experiment afraid of causing backlash?
If they want to do experiments, just do experiments. They don't do it in a laboratory, but do it in an open-air city. Moreover, there are so many experimental zombies at one time, so what are they doing?
The third uncle had many doubts at this time and couldn't figure it out for a while.
But the judge and the others have brought back the potion and mutated zombies, and they will be sent to the zombie research institute at the headquarters base for research.
After the judge's report, the third uncle also came back to his senses.
"Okay, I get it. It doesn't matter if you don't find it. Just find a safe shelter on the way. You can return tomorrow if you're not in a hurry."
"Okay, got it." The judge took off the radio headset and turned his head to look at the mutant zombies at the back of the cabin. Those zombies were all tied up and fixed, making them relatively stable.
Looking away, he put on the walkie-talkie headset again and glanced at his watch. It was already half past three.
The distance from BY City to Oil City is nearly 1,400 kilometers, and it takes at least 5 hours to fly back by helicopter.
Five hours. If we didn't find shelter and returned directly, it would be half past eight by the time they arrived.
Now that the clouds are accumulating and the earth is dark, it is more dangerous than before.
At least there was a moon and starlight before.
Although the helicopter has strong lights, if it encounters a tall hillside during rapid flight and is too late to raise the altitude, it is very likely to cause the aircraft to crash and kill people.
Flying a helicopter at night is extremely dangerous.
The judge naturally didn't want to take risks, so he pressed the intercom and said to everyone:
"It's too late. Find a suitable shelter on the way back and return to Oil City early tomorrow morning."
"Got it."
"Got it."
"Got it."
Two hours later, they arrived at SL City, southeast of Xishi.
As a large western city, Xishi has a large number of zombies in the end of the world.
And there are fewer zombies in Shangluo, which is dozens of kilometers away from Xishi.
They landed on the top floor of a large shopping mall in the center of SL City.
This kind of top floor is very suitable for parking helicopters overnight.
Parking helicopters on the ground in the suburbs or rural areas may cause zombies to come from all directions at night.
Although there are more zombies in the city, they are parked on the top floor of the shopping mall, and the only threat to them is the wall-climbing zombies.
They only need to seal the corridor leading to the top floor and turn on the ultraviolet light, and they can rest assured.
It was dark.
After the two helicopters landed, the ultraviolet lights on the helicopters were not turned off.
Lao Qin and Jackal got off the helicopter with UV lamps and ran to seal the top floor door.
Ant and Nut went to the other side.
As for He Feng, Ma Dong, Black Hand, Zheng Shiwu and Judge, they quickly arranged the UV lamps they brought around the helicopter.
There was no room on the roof, so they could only sleep in the helicopter for one night.
Soon, after they closed the staircase, Lao Qin and others returned to the helicopter.
Around the helicopter, Judge and others had arranged UV lamps.
A circle of UV lamps were connected to the sockets, and the lights were facing outside. With such dense lights, even if there were more zombies climbing the wall, there would be no problem.
After doing all this, Judge said to Lao Qin:
"Lao Qin, go check the captured zombies, don't let them run out."
"I'll go with you." Zheng Shiwu raised his hand and said.
Judge nodded to him. This Zheng Shiwu was not bad. He could keep up with their pace today, which was much better than Black Hand.
The two entered the helicopter to check whether the ropes binding the zombies were stable.
On the other side, He Feng and Ma Dong did not stop, and added the last bit of fuel brought by the helicopter into the tank.
It was a dark and windy night.
The roar of zombies resounded in the city, and they sat around the helicopter and ate food.
They were free, and the judge and others sat together and chatted.
"Zheng Shiwu, what are your plans after returning to the headquarters base?" The judge asked.
Zheng Shiwu swallowed the food in his mouth, thought for a while and said:
"It depends on Minister Li's arrangement."
The judge looked at Hei Shou, "As for me, I will rest for a while. Uh. I am the same as Lao Zheng. Wherever he goes, I go."
The judge nodded, looked at Zheng Shiwu and Hei Shou, and thought secretly.
Zheng Shiwu's combat ability is indeed good. In addition, this trip to the northwest has perfectly completed the mission, and he can definitely raise another special forces team.
There are only three special forces teams in the Dazhangshu base.
The city lord led the team himself, and the main members were Li Tie, Li Gang, Yang Tianlong, and Da Pao.
There were also the captains who led them.
In addition, there were He Feng, Ma Dong, Ming Sheng, Shun Tian and others.
However, the special forces team led by the city lord basically did not perform long-range missions.
He Feng and others still needed to be trained.
If Zheng Shiwu and Hei Shou were the foundation, and a few outstanding people were pulled out from the arena, a special forces team with considerable strength could be formed.
They could be specifically responsible for performing such long-range missions.
I can give some suggestions to the captain later.
Zheng Shiwu looked at the judge and others, "You all were able to get together in the end times. Did you just happen to be performing a mission?"
The judge and Lao Qin looked at each other and smiled.
Lao Qin smiled and said:
"Of course not, we old guys retired before the end of the world."
"No wonder I didn't hear from you later." Zheng Shiwu looked thoughtful, and asked with some doubts:
"But how did you get together later?"
Lao Qin explained:
"This is fate. I was the first to meet Captain Qinglong. Two years later, I met Ant, and then Jackal. I met Nut in the North. Some time ago, Judge came to the North."
"What a coincidence. Why didn't you contact each other after retiring?" Zheng Shiwu continued to ask.
When the judge heard him ask this question, he sneered, "It's a long story."
Seeing that there was something hidden, Zheng Shiwu hesitated for a moment and finally didn't ask.
But he thought carefully, with the strength of Judge and others, it would be a piece of cake to survive in the end of the world. They are not like ordinary survivors, and it is easy to die in the end of the world.
For people like them, the environment they faced when performing missions in the years before the end of the world was several times more difficult than it is now.
With the expansion of the oil city, it was only a matter of time before they met.
Everyone gathered around the stove, chatting.
He Feng and Ma Dong, who were standing next to them, seemed a little embarrassed. They didn't dare to interrupt their chat unless someone asked them. They didn't dare to talk to them. These people in front of them were big guys and seniors, so they didn't dare to be presumptuous.
Oil city.
West.
No. 3 sentry tower.
The bottom floor of the sentry tower was made of containers, and the top was an iron frame structure with four sides welded shut.
In the past, the sentry tower had no iron frames. Since the emergence of wall-climbing zombies, the sentry tower has also been upgraded.
Four ultraviolet lamps are placed at the top of the sentry tower in four directions.
Crunchy——
The escalator was stepped on, making a sound.
Lai Jingyu, who was in the iron frame, looked down and saw a man walking up with a flashlight.
The flashlight light shone on Ironhide and reflected on his face.
"Team leader." Lai Jingyu blurted out after seeing the man's face.
Zhou Zhengsheng climbed up the escalator, and Lai Jingyu quickly reached out to give him a hand.
"How's it going? Is there anything unusual?" Zhou Zhengsheng asked.
Lai Jingyu shook his head and said, "I haven't found it yet."
Zhou Zhengsheng pushed the high-beam searchlight in the iron frame and shined it outside.
After walking around and finding nothing unusual, he turned off the searchlight.
"Xiao Lai."
"Well, what's wrong, team leader?" Lai Jingyu heard this and looked at Zhou Zhengsheng.
Zhou Zhengsheng looked at him and asked with a smile:
"I heard that you recently found two women to keep at the trading market? Is it true?"
Lai Jingyu was shocked when he heard Zhou Zhengsheng ask this.
"I, I, I. I just want to help them."
"help?"
"Do you want to help them or are you lustful?" Zhou Zhengsheng's eyes were bright.
Lai Jingyu lowered his head and said, "Team leader, I was wrong. I will handle this matter when I get back."
"There are no relevant regulations on the discipline of the Civil Armed Forces, but you have to be careful not to affect your normal duty tasks. All the points you managed to save have been spent on them," Zhou Zhengsheng said with a bit of hatred.
Lai Jingyu said with some embarrassment:
"Team leader, I don't have any material desires. Our food and accommodation are all covered. It would be a shame if we don't spend the points."
"nonsense."
Before Lai Jingyu could finish speaking, Zhou Zhengsheng couldn't help but cursed:
"Short-sighted, what about the future? Don't you think about the future?"
"According to the current development speed of Oil City, it will be a matter of time to restore order. By then, the points in your hand can play a big role."
"Ah? Thinking so far." Lai Jingyu was a little surprised.
A third-level employee like him usually earns points every day, and since he works in the field and gets subsidies, he also has food and accommodation to support the two women in the trading market, which is no problem.
He doesn't have any hobbies, he just likes women.
But it was somewhat unsightly to find out about this matter from the team leader.
This involves a style issue. If you find someone to live in peace and stability, it won't matter.
But you find two at once, and two were replaced before.
This is a bit much.
Especially now that Ju Tianrui is in charge of the Civil and Military Affairs Department, management has gradually become stricter.
Although this kind of work style problem is not on the agenda, the impact is still not very good.
Zhou Zhengsheng tapped Lai Jingyu with his finger,
"Resolve this problem properly later. Although there are no corresponding regulations in place now, if you find someone reliable, it won't be easy for you to live peacefully."
"Yeah, team leader, I understand." Lai Jingyu nodded, feeling a little confused about what to do.
Xiao Hong is good, but Xiao Green is also good.
Or don't want it at all, just find Xiao Huang?
Zhou Zhengsheng didn't know what he was thinking. If Zhou Zhengsheng knew what he was thinking at this moment, he would probably beat him up immediately.
But there are many people like Lai Jingyu.
In the apocalypse, many people will not be able to suppress their inner desires without the constraints of regulations.
And, from a biological perspective.
A woman produces about 400 eggs in her lifetime, while a man can produce 12 million sperm per hour. Assume that a woman's egg is worth 10 million units, and a man's sperm is worth 0.01. A sperm and an egg combine to form a fertilized egg for their offspring, and each receives half of the proceeds.
Then men's investment tendency must be to cast a wide net, and they will not hesitate to pay for tens of millions of opportunities. As long as they are right once, they will make a profit.
The evolutionary instinct of men is to win by numbers.
This behavior seems to be evolutionary instinct. But in today’s terms, it’s just playfulness.
As for women, it is useless to find multiple men. They can only give birth to one child at a time, and they have to be pregnant for ten months, and then give birth, breastfeed, raise, protect, and feed a series of resources. Male sperm can be spread freely, and female eggs can be used one at a time.
In this case, women will naturally have to choose slowly.
This is a fair "trading system" that keeps the game going.
Therefore, in the apocalypse, a member of the Civil Armed Services Department like Lai Jingyu, who is at least a third-level officer, is quite popular among women.
But some male survivors living at the bottom are extremely embarrassed and no one cares about them.
The strong can enjoy better treatment, while the weak can only watch.
That layer of disguise has been torn away, and there are no longer the social norms, customs, legal regulations and other constraints before the end of the world.
In addition, the sexual psychology of men and women has existed for tens of millions of years. Nowadays, the environment has undergone tremendous changes, and the potential psychological effects of sex have been strengthened.
This makes human beings in the apocalypse extremely realistic, and this reality will not make people feel that there is anything wrong.
If I have food to eat, I will stay alive with you.
If I don’t have anything to eat, will I follow you and starve to death together?
After experiencing the apocalypse for so many years, humans rarely talk about feelings, and feelings cannot be eaten.
In the apocalypse, the weak must either become stronger or rely on the strong, otherwise they will starve to death.
The reality is almost cruel.
(Please give me a monthly ticket, the natural disaster is coming soon.)
