Chapter 249 Wisdom
If one day someone says that zombies will become intelligent creatures, then others will definitely say you are a fool. Soon after the outbreak of the zombie virus, various countries began to study the zombie virus and even caught a lot of zombies for research. However, the research on the zombie virus was related to the evolution of organisms. Zombies are transformed because the human immune system cannot resist the invasion of the zombie virus. The original human powers also wanted to develop a special medicine to turn zombies back into humans. Facts have proved that this idea of humans is delusional.
The evolution speed of zombies is far beyond human imagination, but before humans can solve the zombie crisis, the second wave of doomsday crisis hits again. In order to solve the asteroid crisis, humans have basically used up all the nuclear weapons in stock. Although it avoids a one-time extinction, the asteroid fragments landing on the earth caused a series of crises, causing the earth's environment to deteriorate rapidly. In a short period of time, it has entered the ice age that the earth experienced tens of millions of years ago. The temperature of about minus 100 degrees Celsius is too bad for humans. Ordinary humans can't survive on the ground at all. Humans are forced to become a race living in underground bases.
In order to adapt to the changes of the earth, other creatures have quickly evolved to adapt to the changes of the earth's living environment. Of course, this is also largely due to the meteorites that fell on the earth. Plants have evolved the ability to grow without photosynthesis, and various mutants have evolved the ability to withstand the cold. As for zombies, they have evolved long hair and a thick fat surface in a very short time. It can be said that humans have fallen behind in this evolutionary frenzy. Fortunately, humans still have wisdom and can build underground bases, which can be regarded as preserving the fire of humans.
But is wisdom only a characteristic of humans? No, the new species of zombies was originally transformed from humans. After being affected by the radiation of meteorites, some zombies have evolved the unique wisdom of humans. It is better to say that they have evolved wisdom than to say that the radiation of meteorites has brought out their original wisdom. These intelligent zombies have become smarter and smarter over time. They are equivalent to the wise men and leaders in the zombie group.
Led by these leaders, the zombies will try to avoid being hunted by humans and mutants. They will hunt mutants and humans in groups. They will flee when they can't do anything. They are becoming more and more like the ancient times when humans just had wisdom. Do humans know about the changes in the zombies? They know. Gu Ming has received reports from the combat department, but he has no way to deal with the changes in zombies. He had guessed a long time ago that zombies would evolve wisdom, they would give birth to civilization, and they would become a new kind of intelligent creatures. Gu Ming has no way to eliminate them all, and there are no genetic weapons or biological viruses in the system store that can completely eliminate zombies.
Knowing to seek benefits and avoid harm is the most significant sign of intelligent creatures, and zombies have begun to use tools, although the tools are still very primitive wooden sticks, these wooden sticks have only been processed casually, and one end has been sharpened. This is the information reported to Gu Ming by Dong Dawei of the combat department recently. Gu Ming also went to the county next door to observe the zombies.
It feels like the zombies have already formed a tribe, just like humans in ancient times, but these zombies are much stronger than ancient humans. Gu Ming took out a sniper rifle and aimed at a zombie to shoot, but the sniper rifle bullets simply can't kill the current zombies. Their thick hair and fat are the best protective layer, not only can they keep warm, but also serve as natural armor. Human thermal weapons are becoming less and less useful, and because of the ultra-low temperature, weapons that are not made of new materials cannot be brought to the ground. The old weapons will become like noodles after a few minutes of being brought to the ground, and the weapons can be broken at will.
Watching the zombies working together to hunt mutants, Gu Ming's expression was very solemn. He asked Dong Dawei, "Dawei, do you know where these zombies live?"
Dong Dawei nodded and said, "Yes, our people found that they all live underground. Most of them used to live in underground waterways, but I don't know why the mutant rats are now very good at digging holes. The relationship between these mutant rats and the zombies is a bit like a symbiotic relationship. The rats will help the zombies dig holes, and the zombies feed the rats with the leftovers such as the internal organs of the mutants they hunted. Isn't it amazing?"
It turned out to be In this way, Gu Ming felt that even if the zombies evolved long hair and thick fat, they could not stay on the ground forever. Except for mutant beasts and those mutant plants, there were basically no zombie groups on the ground. Gu Ming had originally guessed that the zombie group should live underground like humans. Now that he knew from Dong Dawei about the symbiotic relationship between mutant mice and zombies, he did not find it strange at all. Zombies would not be so easy to become extinct. Zombies gave him the feeling that they were going to take over the dominance of humans on the earth. Zombies were like the protagonists of the earth in the next era chosen by the earth. Of course, Gu Ming did not speak out his speculation.
"Let's go and see where these zombies live." Gu Ming saw the zombie group happily carrying the mutant beasts they hunted and walking back. They were very fast, but Gu Ming and his team were not slow either. Gu Ming was only accompanied by the leaders of four combat departments. The five of them were enough, and the others could not keep up with their speed.
The zombies disappeared into a school. Gu Ming looked at the sign and could still vaguely see the writing. It turned out to be a middle school. They walked in carefully. Fortunately, the zombies left some traces. They followed the traces to the teaching Behind the building, there was a building that should be the canteen. The footprints of the zombies disappeared in the canteen. Gu Ming whispered to Chu Heng, "A Heng, have you seen those two zombies?"
Chu Heng looked in the direction pointed by Gu Ming. He observed carefully and soon discovered the zombies hiding behind the cover. The main reason was that the long hair of the zombies was easy to spot. He nodded and said, "Chief, see Yeah, are those two zombies sentries?"
"Yes." Gu Ming's face became a little ugly. Although he knew that zombies had evolved intelligence, but seeing that they now set up hidden sentries, you knew that the intelligence of zombies was not much lower than that of humans, and the only advantage of humans was gone. , but it is useless for him to worry. He does not believe that the national forces will not know that no matter how weak the official forces are, they will pay special attention to the zombies. The changes of the zombies must have been observed by the officials long ago. He faced Chu Heng said, "Ah Heng, you are faster, go and deal with them."
"Okay." He was the fastest among the five. Chu Heng pressed his feet, and the person disappeared from Gu Ming's eyes as if teleporting. In the blink of an eye, he was behind the hidden zombies. It was killed by Chu Heng before it could react, and the other zombie was killed in the same way by Chu Heng.
"Chief, look at this." When Gu Ming and the others came to him, Chu Heng handed the two wooden products he picked up on the ground to Gu Ming. Gu Ming took them and took a closer look. Hey, isn't this something he played with when he was a child? A very simple whistle? He knew that if these zombie sentries discovered something happened, they would use this whistle to notify the zombies in their lair.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look."
