In order to clear up the doubts in his heart, Liao Fan followed him without saying a word.
After passing through the main road in the center of the city, the two of them quickly entered an old and dilapidated alley.
This alley is surrounded by barbed wire fences, and there is only one heavily guarded iron gate for entry and exit. There are also many guards stationed around the iron gate. Everyone is armed with live ammunition, as if they are guarding some important restricted area.
As soon as Liao Fan arrived here, he immediately frowned, not because of how dilapidated the place was, but because he immediately caught a familiar yet strange aura after entering this alley.
"The breath of zombies..."
Sensing the dark aura mixed in the air, Liao Fan's eyes darkened. Before he could speak, he heard Zhao Yi beside him sighing,
"A week ago, a special virus broke out in our city. No one knows where this virus came from. They only know that it can silently infect a person and turn him into a zombie-like monster.
.”
Previously, Chen Guodong's gathering point had indeed continued to accept homeless refugees, and it had also inadvertently housed many virus carriers.
These people behaved normally when they first entered the gathering point. However, soon after entering the gathering point, they showed signs of sporadic seizures and began to attack the surrounding people crazily, attacking and biting other refugees.
Many innocent people were infected and became new zombies.
"This virus spreads very quickly. We can only control those who have obvious signs of mutation first, but even so, we cannot completely stop the spread of the virus."
Zhao Yi shook his head helplessly as he spoke, "Because the gathering point is too big, new refugees come to us every day. No one knows whether these refugees are virus carriers. In order to prevent it from spreading further, we had to order the entire gathering to be sealed off."
Clicked."
"So this is ah."
Liao Fan nodded, and then he understood why the middle-aged police officer banned him from entering the settlement. He stopped pursuing it at the moment and turned his attention to the depths of the street, the areas separated by iron fences.
Inside the building, figures as skinny as wood, with numb and cruel expressions, were lying in metal cages with manic expressions on their faces, grinning their big black mouths, and roaring "ouch" at the two strangers.
Even though their bodies were trapped inside the cage, these virus-infected zombies did not stop howling. Instead, they kept waving their dry claws and hitting the iron cage again and again, trying to rush up and bite Liao Fan.
Those thumb-thick steel bars were also twisted and deformed under the constant impact of the zombies, making a crashing sound.
There are a dozen buildings in the entire block, and each building is surrounded by metal fences.
Through these cages, Liao Fan saw more infected people, some with numb expressions and dull faces, while others were extremely irritable and frantically gnawing at the metal bars outside the cages.
Liao Fan glanced at these zombies lightly and said,
"How many zombies like this are imprisoned in the gathering point?"
Zhao Yi sighed, "There are about two to three hundred, and the virus continues to spread. If this trend continues, the number of infected people will continue to increase, and we don't know when it will end. By the way..."
Having said this, Zhao Yi raised his eyes again and looked at Liao Fan in confusion,
"Why did you take the initiative to come to the gathering point to contact us this time?"
Liao Fan pointed to the infected people imprisoned in cages, "It's also because of them."
Then, he told how he was suddenly attacked by a large number of zombies on his way back.
Hearing this, Zhao Yi also showed excitement on his face and said loudly,
"So, the source of these mutations that cause human infection is near the urban village in the eastern suburbs?"
"should be!"
Liao Fan nodded and said that he paid a sudden visit to provide information about this matter to Chen Guodong. He hoped to recruit a group of people from here to deal with the zombies. However, he did not expect that this thing would spread so quickly.
Already threatening gathering points in the city centre.
Zhao Yi said excitedly, "Okay, I will inform the director right now and report the information you have obtained. Come with me quickly. Bureau Chen also hopes to see you again."
After saying that, Zhao Yi couldn't wait to turn around and lead the way, leaving the dark alley again and leading Liao Fan into the police office building in the core area of the city.
At this time, the police station building has become the real center of Lincheng. Not only are a large number of armed guards stationed on the street outside the building, there are even police bulletproof armored vehicles parked with a large number of weapons loaded on them.
A posture ready to go into battle at any time.
The security area was heavily defended, but under the leadership of Zhao Yi, Liao Fan successfully entered the office building easily.
After going through numerous checkpoints, he was taken to the conference hall on the third floor.
Pushing open the door of the last office, Liao Fan saw Chen Guodong at a glance, sitting in his office chair with a sad look on his face, worrying about the large number of documents placed on the table.
"Bureau Chen, it's been such a long time."
Liao Fan stepped into the office and said hello with a smile.
But when faced with Liao Fan's visit, Chen Guodong looked sad and didn't seem to have much thought to welcome him. He still sat on the office chair and motioned for Liao Fan to sit down as he pleased.
We haven't seen him for more than a month. At this time, Chen Guodong has gray hair on his temples. Compared with his energetic appearance before the end of the world, he has obviously gone through many vicissitudes of life, and his face is full of unresolved sorrow.
It's no wonder that Lin Cheng's current situation has turned into a mess. With the limited resources in his hands, it is really difficult to maintain the overall situation. He has to deal with all kinds of annoying things every day, which has already turned his hair gray and exhausted himself mentally and physically.
.
Liao Fan sat on the sofa in the living room, minding his own business, crossed his legs and said, "It seems that your life has not been going well in the past month."
Chen Guodong glanced at him and said angrily,
"Do you think it's possible for me to be successful? After the disaster, Lincheng not only faced attacks from a large number of extraterrestrial creatures, but the climate and environment also experienced huge changes. In just one month, our population has dropped sharply to less than
30%, the remaining hundreds of thousands of survivors need to consume a lot of food and supplies every day. Just to maintain the current situation, I am already exhausted, not to mention so many zombies appearing in the city..."
Liao Fan smiled and snapped his fingers, nodded lightly and said, "Understood. In fact, the reason why I came here this time is to help you solve your problems."
"What's the meaning?"
Chen Guodong was stunned and stood up hurriedly.
Liao Fan cleared his throat, recounted his experiences on the road, and then gave his own analysis.
"According to my inference, these zombie viruses should have poured into Blue Star through that abnormal passage. As long as you send a team of people to accompany me to check the situation, we may be able to formulate corresponding countermeasures."
"really?"
Hearing this, Chen Guodong immediately became excited, punched the desk, took a deep breath and said, "How many people do you need this time?"
"About fifty or sixty. After all, I don't know exactly what kind of environment is behind that space passage. If there are too many people, it may be counterproductive. I just need to select some elites to accompany me in."
"no problem!"
Chen Guodong, who was eager to find out the truth about the virus outbreak, immediately picked up the landline phone on the table without any hesitation.
