Chapter 350: Tide of Zombies

Chu Fei figured out a lot of things from these materials in Hongcheng.

1 Infectivity: The infectiousness of zombies is mainly through biting people, because the infectious virus has a short survival time after leaving the human body.

The zombie virus is a foreign virus and is not suitable for the current environment.

However, not all zombie viruses are infectious.

Viruses can also differentiate, which can be referred to as human stem cells.

After the virus enters the human body, it will differentiate along with the structure of the human body, and the differentiated virus will not have the ability to infect.

However, there will be "meta-viruses" in the main brain part of the zombie, which will be injected into the human body through the teeth of the zombie like the fangs of a venomous snake when biting people.

It sounds a bit like vampires in film and television works.

In short, for this reason, there is no need to worry about the spread of zombie viruses.

However, because the zombies themselves are dead, even if the zombies are "killed", as long as the body is intact, the meta-virus in the body may exist for a long time, so the corpses of the zombies should be burned as much as possible.

2 Life form:

The composition of zombies is not cells, but viruses. From this point of view, the life level of zombies seems to be higher.

Viruses are smaller than cells, so zombies have many strange abilities. In particular, the virus reproduces quickly, making zombies difficult to kill.

On the other hand, zombies are not dead things, but new lives that zombie viruses reproduce with the help of human bodies.

So, zombies are alive!

However, unlike human cell aggregates, zombies are virus aggregates.

3 How to kill zombies:

Zombies that have just been successfully transformed are not easy to kill because the viruses in the body have not yet fully differentiated.

You have to wait until the zombie virus completely spreads to the human body, the meta-virus is completely differentiated, and the zombies have the structure of the human body. At this time, you can kill the zombies by cutting off their heads.

This situation is indeed a bit special.

However, before the zombie virus is completely differentiated, cutting off the head of the corpse will make the zombies become idiots even if they cannot kill the zombies.

A real zombie requires the zombie virus to completely control the human body and even steal some human memories.

And the human body structure is destined to be incomplete without a head.

4 How to treat after being bitten by a zombie:

Zombie virus is a real alien existence from space. The human immune system cannot recognize it, and most drugs are ineffective. Therefore, after being infected, the infected person will quickly die and turn into a zombie.

In view of the fact that the zombie virus cannot survive outside the human body, the acidity and alkalinity of the flesh and blood can be changed to kill the zombie virus - a large-scale change is required.

But ordinary people obviously cannot bear this change, so it is best to cut off the bitten part immediately.

Of course, there are specific medicines, but they are more expensive, which is not affordable for ordinary people, and it cannot be popularized on a large scale.

As for the awakened, the powerful awakened can completely control the acidity and alkalinity of the body spontaneously. Therefore, the awakened are generally not infected, and it is okay to be bitten - but they need to actively control the body to detoxify.

5 The pursuit of humans by zombies:

Based on a large number of observations and a few simple studies, zombies seem to be able to accurately track human traces, especially large crowds.

Through experiments, it was found that zombies track humans not by smell, etc. Sound is part of it, but the most important thing is that living people may have the "spirituality and life energy" that zombies need.

When zombies get close to humans, even if they pretend to be dead, they cannot escape the zombies' attack.

Just like humans can find durian through their sense of smell, zombies can find hidden or dead humans through their desire for life energy and spirituality.

A few humans can hide. When a large number of people gather together, it is best to migrate.

But humans can also use this characteristic to lure zombies, or even let zombies gather together to bomb.

At present, the zombie tide gathers in Hongcheng and does not move forward, not only because Hongcheng's defense is strong, but also because there are too many "popularity" here, which makes the zombie tide greedy and unable to move.

6 Types and combat characteristics of zombies:

At present, zombies are mainly divided into ordinary zombies and advanced zombies;

Advanced zombies can be regarded as awakened zombies, including giant zombies, flying zombies, crawlers, zombie human-headed snakes, etc. There are also some that spray strong acid, but the number is small and far less than hot weapons.

In combat, zombies mainly fight in close combat, lack long-range attack means, and lack defense against hot weapons.

But there are many types of zombies, and as long as their heads are not blown off, they can easily "resurrect on the spot" and are difficult to kill.

In addition, although zombies are not afraid of the sun, their aggressiveness will still increase after sunset, and they will become more violent.

It is roughly estimated that after sunset, the combat effectiveness of zombies will increase significantly, up to 30%.

Don't underestimate 30%. According to boxing theory, a 5% increase in strength can form a crushing effect. An increase of 30% is a very scary data.

Not to mention that human combat effectiveness at night will decrease somewhat. At least the field of vision will be affected.

7 Zombie Crystal Core:

The most valuable, or even the only valuable, thing on a zombie is its crystal core.

But like strange beasts, only powerful and advanced zombies have crystal cores.

Moreover, the crystal core of a zombie has a strong life energy characteristic, which can assist in cultivation, has a good effect on deformation, serious injuries, etc., and can be used to refine the "Fountain of Life"!

At this time, Chu Fei was holding a washed living corpse crystal core and a bottle of fountain of life, sensing them carefully.

The smells of the two are actually very similar!

"Is this the miracle of life? Existences like living corpses can actually give birth to crystal nuclei with the breath of life!"

The Fountain of Life is very expensive. One milliliter of it was once sold for a million yuan in Feihu City, but there is still no market for it.

According to the information Chu Fei saw in the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group, the fountain of life in the outside world is more expensive.

There is only one most important reason - it can suppress or even cure distortion!

Of course, no medicine is infinitely effective. For Wu Yong's kind of distortion, it can only be suppressed but cannot be treated. Even if the suppression effect is better than nothing, it can only be said to be better than nothing.

But no matter what, being able to suppress distortion is enough to make the price of Fountain of Life skyrocket!

The source of the name of the Fountain of Life lies in its ability to suppress distortion.

The crystal core of a living corpse can actually refine the fountain of life, so the crystal core of a living corpse is expensive. It is also the only valuable treasure in a living corpse.

Because of this, Hongcheng never asked Feihu City, Black Iron City, etc. for help.

But thanks to Hongcheng being a little stretched now, Chu Fei and Li Guangyu would get a warm welcome when they came over.

If this were the beginning of the zombie wave, Chu Fei and Li Guangyu would most likely be driven away.

Come here now, the time is just right.

Sure enough, everything is the best arrangement.

Chu Fei complained in his heart, but he was also thinking about how to cooperate next.

City Lord Hong Yonggang made it clear that Hong City now needs awakened people to participate in the battle, and the more the better.

But Chu Fei is not prepared to give whatever he wants.

Don’t forget, this is the end of the world, and people who are too talkative often suffer!

Also, Feihu City has just experienced civil strife, and everyone is generally war-weary.

But Hongcheng has to provide support. If Hongcheng's defense line really collapses, the consequences will be disastrous.

There are now more than 1.8 million people in Hongcheng. In addition to Hongcheng itself, there are also other people who have retreated from the high wall, as well as some people outside the city who have gathered in.

If the defenses of Hongcheng collapsed, the more than 1.8 million people would turn into living corpses, which would make one's scalp numb just thinking about it.

But with more than 1.8 million people gathered here, the consumption of food and other resources is also terrifying. Not to mention the consumption of arms resources during the battle.

"Perhaps we should provide arms support to Hongcheng and exchange the crystal cores of living corpses from Hongcheng. As for the awakened ones, we should adopt the principle of voluntary registration.

However, the crystal cores of living corpses are good things. If you go inland, then the crystal cores of living corpses are definitely real hard currency!

Compared with a large number of intact energy crystals that have not been recharged, living corpse crystal cores are safer! "

Chu Fei quickly made a decision, a preliminary decision.

To make more detailed decisions, more data is needed, etc. Chu Fei decided to fight on the city wall for a while and also visit the city for a while.

Suddenly a bell echoed in the city.

Zhao Liang, who was yawning next to him, opened his eyes and said drowsily: "It's time for shift change.

We have adopted an eight-shift system, each shift is 4 hours long. There are six shifts every day and two shifts have a break.

It is now a 16:00 to 20:00 class. "

"This shift is on duty until dark!" Chu Fei frowned slightly, "Has the combat effectiveness of the living zombies begun to increase?"

"Yes!" Zhao Liang nodded, "This class is the most difficult. After a day's rest, the zombies will be particularly powerful at night. Human beings, after a day of hard work, will start to feel tired at night.

On the contrary, at midnight, the living corpses began to feel a little tired, and the humans entered a state of excitement.

Anyone who stays up late knows that after 22:00 in the evening, humans will have a short period of excitement, which lasts until two or three in the morning. "

Chu Fei nodded slightly.

This is the unique biological clock function of the human body. Even those who are awakened cannot completely escape this influence.

However, this time was just right for Chu Fei. He just happened to go to the city wall to patrol, refresh his sense of presence, and at the same time observe Hongcheng's defense, combat effectiveness, etc.

Chu Fei came to the city wall again and met Feng Yiming, the deputy city lord.

According to Zhao Liang, Feng Yiming is also a 10.0 master, but lower than the city lord.

Also, compared to the city lord, Feng Yiming's transformation of colonial clothing is obvious. Although it does not reach the level of Zhao Liang's 40% body armor, his legs have been transformed into mechanical structures.

It was a modification of carbon fiber material. After the modification, the weight of the legs was reduced a lot. Powered by superfluid batteries.

After observing for a moment, Chu Fei immediately expressed his intention to cooperate in defending the city and made it clear that he wanted to see the fighting situation of the zombie tide.

After hearing Chu Fei's expression, Feng Yiming showed a little enthusiasm. But then he asked, "Have you not experienced the zombie wave last year?"

Chu Fei smiled sheepishly, "I didn't start practicing last year. I entered Shuguang Academy in the early stages of the zombie wave and then started practicing."

Feng Yiming's eyes widened, "In other words, it only took you a year and a half to become an awakened person from an ordinary person? And you also adopted a feathered snake, a sixth-level alien beast, as a war beast?!"

Chu Fei's record is not a secret. Within a long time, the higher-ups in Hongcheng had found out about it. The main reason is that Li Guangyu has such a big mouth.

The pursuit of the old city lord, the capture of the King Kong Giant Ape, etc., any one of them would be shocking. Not to mention that there was a level six feathered snake next to Chu Fei.

Chu Fei smiled, "Maybe the study and practice arrangement of Dawn Academy is just right for me."

Then, while looking at the huge zombie tide outside the city, which had obviously entered the prelude of a crazy attack, he asked about the past battle situation.

The sunset was a little rosy at this time, and the zombie tide at this time was really like a tide, rushing towards the city wall in waves.

Compared to when they just came during the day, the zombies were obviously more active.

Especially some giant zombies in the distance began to approach the city wall.

Looking at the giant zombies that were constantly approaching, Chu Fei couldn't help asking Feng Yiming next to him, "Can't we use howitzers or small fuel-air explosives to blow these giant zombies to death?"

Feng Yiming didn't say anything, but just asked people to fire a few shells.

There are ordinary high-explosive bombs, cluster bombs, incendiary bombs, and fuel-air explosives.

These bombs locked multiple giant zombies at the same time. However, the result of the attack made Chu Fei silent.

The high-explosive bomb only made the giant zombie stagger a little, and the surface of the zombie body was seriously injured. But the zombie will recover immediately, but it is a little shorter in height.

The cluster bombs are mainly various scattered marble attacks. They are fatal to living people, but they feel like injections to zombies. The zombies that were attacked roared, but they were still alive and kicking.

Zombies are a collection of viruses. The death of some viruses will not affect the whole.

The same is true for incendiary bombs. The surface of the giant corpse can quickly shed a layer.

As for the so-called explosive bombs, the effect is similar to that of incendiary bombs alone.

The ordinary zombies around were cleaned up, but the giant zombies still stood.

Not only that, when they are attacked, these giant zombies will grab some low-level zombies as shields, etc., and quickly leave their original positions.

Then Feng Yiming explained to Chu Fei:

"These giant corpses are very intelligent, and they will not approach the high walls for the time being. But when it's night and the war is raging, these guys will become active.

In fact, similar to the alien beasts, the level of those giant corpses should all be 10.0. It's just that the zombies lack the experience and means to deal with hot weapons, so they seem a little clumsy.

But these things have driven the alien beasts from the north and the east. Don't underestimate these things.

Also, pay attention to the attacks of zombies at night. They will throw those crawlers or stronger zombies on the top of the city."

"Can it be like this?!" Chu Fei was a little shocked. But looking at the height and strong body of the giant corpse, he had to admit this fact.

If the giant corpse is really equivalent to a human 10.0 awakener, then it would be easy for it to throw a lighter zombie on the top of the city.

While waiting, the time came to 19:00. At this time, the sunset had completely set, and there was still a little afterglow between the sky and the earth.

The earth was already pitch black, and only the searchlight could barely illuminate a limited range.

At this moment, roars suddenly came from behind the zombies.

Then the zombie tide turned into a rising tide in an instant.
