It has been five months and seven days in this fantasy world. The Brontosaurus has a full beard and looks like Keanu Reeves living on the street. He looked out the window with dull eyes and read One Hundred Years of Solitude in his hand.
Half of them can't stand it anymore.
"I want to go back."
Thunder Dragon said to Rhubarb, but Rhubarb stretched out his claws lazily in the golden sunshine, then turned over and ignored Thunder Dragon, because this was the thousand, three hundred and twentieth time that Thunder Dragon said that he wanted to go back.
Since the fifth day of the doomsday vacation, he has not stopped.
After all, his narrow view of happiness did not survive a week, but compared to Brontosaurus, little Brother Zhang lived a contented life. He got up at six o'clock every morning, prepared breakfast for the two people and one cat in the shelter, and then went for a run.
He would exercise on the machine for thirty minutes, take a shower at about eight o'clock, tidy up the room, and then read for two hours. He would take notes on things he didn't understand, and then ask Dahuang.
At noon, he will prepare lunch on time at around 11:30. After lunch, he will take a lunch break for an hour and a half. In the afternoon, he will continue to study and read. He will read a lot of books and learn a lot of knowledge. He will work hard to take notes and also
He would listen carefully to Dahuang's explanation of what he didn't understand. He would prepare dinner as usual until evening, then watch one or two movies around eight o'clock, and then take a shower and go to bed between eleven and eleven-thirty.
In the past few months, his work and rest have never been disordered, and he quietly enjoys this closed life. If there is a heavy rain outside, he will go to the observation room and listen to the sound of rain outside, leaning against the window to read and quietly read.
He would recite some poems and prose collections, and then excerpt what he found interesting. If the weather was particularly good, he would come to the terrace above his head, breathe some fresh air, look into the distance, and then record the experiences of the survivors around him for a period of time.
The change.
The virus in the air stopped spreading three months ago, but it has infected almost every corner of the world. There are about 10% of human survivors left in the world. They have experienced a period of despair.
After that, new orders, communities, gathering places and refuges gradually began to form.
Although they do not have many resources in their hands, they have started a new survival model, which is the planned economy model, because most of them have discovered that it is absolutely impossible to cope with the doomsday if the survivors do not join forces.
.
In the first few months, survivors will form different groups and there will be a certain degree of hostility between each other. But as time goes by, the number of survivors becomes smaller and smaller, and the integration speed between communities changes.
The situation is getting faster and faster, and now in less than half a year, all the survivors in this area have been integrated together. They gathered on the top three floors of the skyscraper, relying on steel cables and ropes set up between floors to move.
Through the integration of different skills, they gradually began to plant, breed and domesticate.
"This is a really good subject."
Dahuang, who was annoyed by the thunder dragon below, climbed up to the small terrace above. Seeing Brother Zhang recording the daily details of the survivors around him, he couldn't help but sigh: "I don't find it strange at all that humans will rule the world.
, the vitality of these things is really tenacious.”
Brother Zhang smiled and then wrote a sentence in the record book: Shanni from the ninth building successfully gave birth to a baby boy, and this baby boy became the first human being immune to the virus. The leader George
Made her a birthday cake with mashed potatoes.
"Wow! Shani is giving birth!"
Rhubarb happily spun around on the terrace. It was obvious that the survivor had given birth to a child, but Rhubarb was as happy as if his own child had been born. This was probably the best time since it and Brother Zhang began to observe the living people around them.
It’s a happy moment, maybe this is related to the fact that it was in charge of love and life. When the hope of new life comes, it will instinctively become excited.
Brother Zhang has already recorded three thick observation diaries. From the initial chaos to the gradual birth of order, and then to gradual stability, human beings, like their ancestors, began to prosper step by step.
In this process, some people have naturally been eliminated, but what is interesting is that the people eliminated are not the weak as imagined, but the selfish and arrogant. The self-interest gene is gradually being eliminated.
Replacement, people who are abandoned by the group become more and more difficult to see the sun the next day, even if the self-interested people stick together, they will soon fall apart due to various reasons.
Nature's selection is constantly going on, both for humans and zombies.
At the same time that humans began to cling to groups, zombies also began to gradually develop collectivist tendencies. They learned to hunt, not only humans, but also animals and more powerful zombie individuals.
In the six months of survival of the fittest, humans and zombies have actually reached a very delicate balance. The animal instincts of zombies will not allow them to rashly attack large-scale human settlements to a large extent.
It provides an opportunity to eliminate outliers among humans, and at the same time, humans will take the initiative to eliminate those powerful individuals that may cause greater crises to their ethnic groups, and the elimination of these individuals will cause the zombies to lose the opportunity for socialization.
In short, after a not so long period of time, a new balance was formed between zombies and humans.
And these are all contents that have not been recorded in the script. They are all the results of the natural evolution of the world and random calculations. This result makes people feel interesting. This is the biggest fun of Xiao Zhang during this period.
Of course, due to the real-time computing of the world, many situations outside of the script have occurred one after another, such as the mutation of viruses. The zombie viruses have been iterated about four times in the past six months, and they will combine with other viruses to form new types.
For example, if combined with rabies virus, if a human is bitten by a dog infected with the zombie virus, and the dog happens to be carrying rabies virus, then the two viruses will infect that human at the same time, and the infected human will be infected in a short period of time.
It is internally transformed into a creature with degenerated eyes and no vision. It relies entirely on its keen hearing to hunt. It walks, runs, and even the sound of breathing and heartbeat cannot escape its ears. It cannot walk upright, but it can rely on its strong limbs.
It climbs upside down on walls and even roofs with its claws, is very fast and has a certain degree of teamwork.
This thing is interesting. It is particularly powerful among zombies, but it can be tamed...
I don’t know who was the first to think of taming this kind of monster, but there are three such powerful zombies raised in human settlements. Their duty is to search for those more outrageous zombie individuals and other survivors.
, using their unique reconnaissance capabilities, they can easily locate the location of special zombies and survivors, and these three monsters that kill and play games have rescued more than 100,000 people in the settlement area in more than two months.
Four hundred survivors.
The residents of the settlement jokingly called the place they lived in the Country of Clouds, and they naturally became the People of the Clouds. As of now, the total number of the People of the Clouds in this city has exceeded 4,000.
people, and it is still expanding.
As Rhubarb said, human beings are unimaginable in their tenacity. Even in such a desperate situation, they can still prosper like foxtail grass, and if there are no accidents, in another ten or twenty years,
Humanity will gradually lead the world again.
The sun is gradually setting. Without the support of the power system, the darkness in the city has lasted for half a year, so every night, the starry sky is particularly bright. Brother Zhang sat there and lit a cigarette in his hand.
After putting on my wallet, I leaned back in my chair and looked up at the stars.
"This period should be your happiest day."
Dahuang immediately jumped onto his lap, raised his head and asked, "The confusion in your eyes is much less."
Brother Zhang did not answer directly. He just patted his ledger and said, "It would be better if there are photos in it."
"Oh, how can so many things go smoothly? Just make do with it." Dahuang said, suddenly pricking up his ears: "Improvements have been made, but the night ghosts are here."
"Um."
Brother Zhang locked the rooftop and then walked down with Dahuang. Not long after they went down, they suddenly heard a snapping sound coming from outside. This was what Dahuang said was a nocturnal ghost. This kind of zombie is very characteristic.
, they can climb any smooth surface, are very aggressive, and have a very sensitive sense of smell. As long as they smell it, they will break along the wall.
So Brother Zhang is a place they visit every day, because Brother Zhang and the others always leave a lot of smell on the terrace, especially the smell of tobacco, which attracts the attention of night-walking ghosts. However, although they will not
They kept scratching, but their attack power seemed so weak when facing Star Gold, but it was very annoying.
"Damn it, here we go again!"
After seeing Brother Zhang coming down and hearing the sound of banging things above him, Thunder Dragon suddenly became irritable. He picked up the things and was about to go up to challenge the Night Walker, but luckily he was stopped by Brother Zhang.
Come down.
Because of Thunder Dragon's current mental state, if no one stops him, he will really risk his life.
"Why don't you go back?" Brother Zhang looked at the appearance of the thunder dragon and said, "You will go crazy."
Brontosaurus sat there hunched over, putting his elbows on his legs and rubbing his face vigorously with both hands: "I really don't know how you can be so peaceful... Don't you feel bored?"
Brother Zhang smiled and shook his head, then gently pushed Thunder Dragon on the forehead, causing him to fall backwards. When he landed, he found that he was already lying on the ground of the small restaurant, and the Moon God Xiao Hei next to him
Sweeping the floor.
"You came back so fast..." Moon God Xiaohei pointed to the door in surprise: "When you passed by, I started sweeping the floor. When you came back, I only swept one meter."
But after she saw the dead look of Brontosaurus clearly, she couldn't help covering her mouth and screaming. He left for only ten seconds, but when he came back, he seemed to be drifting on an isolated island.
Half a year, and the look in his eyes made people worry about his mental state.
"woman!"
The Brontosaurus screamed and rushed over like crazy, but before it was too late, the Brontosaurus that was flying towards Moon God Xiao Hei was kicked away by someone's side, and waited for him to slide down from the wall.
Later, I discovered that the kick just now was from Jin Mei, and beside Jin Mei were standing Zhang Yao, Zhu Zhenzhen and Huang Die'er. They seemed to be here to spend a girls' night on Friday, but they found that Thunder Dragon was
The dog is in heat here.
"Is he crazy?" Zhu Zhenzhen looked at the sloppy Thunder Dragon and couldn't help but curiously asked: "How could this be?"
On the other hand, Huang Dieer next to him sneered: "He's not crazy, he's just pretending to be crazy."
After saying that, she stepped forward and grabbed Thunder Dragon by the hair and dragged him out. Zhang Yao looked at him and laughed: "One less girl for the girls' night."
And in the minute or two they were teasing, twelve years had passed for Brother Zhang. He had spent twelve years with Dahuang in such loneliness. He repeated his life every day for twelve years.
, this long period of loneliness not only did not turn him into a thunder dragon, but instead made him a little... introverted.
Anyway, the whole person's temperament suddenly improved. In the past twelve years, he completed all the learning content from junior high school to university through self-study. The only teacher was Dahuang, and Dahuang lived up to his expectations and successfully made Xiao Zhang brother.
Graduated from university.
He also wrote a total of 490 books of records, covering almost every detail of the city since the virus outbreak.
"The neighbor brought me strawberries."
Rhubarb took down a basket of strawberries from the terrace. This is a crop of the people on the cloud. It is to thank Brother Zhang for providing them with a batch of broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs some time ago. In addition to strawberries, the residents there, Lu
I also gave a lot of things to Brother Zhang one after another.
The reason why they can easily deliver things to Brother Zhang now is because the small park where Brother Zhang is located has become a residential area, and the people on the cloud have already landed, although they still call themselves Cloud.
There are about five hundred people living here. Just like the people in the Middle Ages, they live within the walls and around the statue of Brother Zhang. And they also know that there is a person living in this statue.
Lonely wise men, wise men always help them in the most difficult times. Although they have never seen this wise man, they firmly believe that this is the incarnation of the gods. Whether it is strawberries or pumpkins, they use them to exchange hope with the gods.
tribute.
"I just said you were soft-hearted." Dahuang took out a strawberry and started eating it: "If you didn't save them seven years ago, there wouldn't be anything like this today."
Brother Zhang didn't speak, he just smiled, picked up a strawberry, put it in his mouth, and looked at the smoke outside quietly.
"They are developing so fast." Brother Zhang watched for a while and said softly: "They can adapt to such a harsh environment."
"Then you didn't see them hunting the Big Mac a few days ago." Dahuang licked his lips: "That was quite cruel. After watching it, I felt that they were the monsters. Naturally, I chose the real one and accepted it.
