"There will be an inflection point for infection."
"What's the meaning?"
"It will not continue to spread. When there are no more people to be infected, its spread rate will drop off a cliff. That is the time for us to fight back."
"What are the possible solutions?"
"We have prepared three plans. The first plan is more straightforward, which is to isolate the infected from the existing survivors, so that we can use less than adequate troops to defend the main level."
"Um...what else?"
"The second option is more risky. We plan to clean up the infected people layer by layer, so that I can take back many important facilities and gradually restore the shelter to normal operation. Of course...with our existing troops, we can clean up the infected people."
The work will be slow, but if there are support troops arriving from outside, then our cleanup speed will be faster and faster, and everything will be fine."
"Well..." Xing Zhuoshan sighed deeply and did not express his opinion.
"The last plan... is quick to produce results, but it is also very dangerous. Our entire working group is still controversial about this plan, so..."
"explain."
"Okay... um... we found by dissecting the corpses of the infected people that there were no biological lesions in the bodies of these infected people. Even if they became stronger and became bloodthirsty, it was only at the mental level, or...
There are some mutations that we haven’t figured out yet, but of course that’s not the point… The point is that we found this tree-like proliferation structure in the cerebral cortex of infected people.” The leader of the response team projected “that tree” on the big screen.
superior.
Xing Zhuoshan looked at it carefully and saw that the thing indeed looked like a tree.
"What's this?"
"It should be some kind of... um... induction growth that connects living things to each other... somewhat similar to the brain neuron feedback device carried by our special service soldiers."
"What is a brain neuron feedback device?" Xing Zhuoshan is already old after all, and he doesn't know much about some new generation technological products.
The person in charge explained: "This device was developed by the military five years ago to improve the comprehensive combat index of the special service team. It is usually implanted above the cerebral cortex of the left and right brains of the target team members. It is as big as a button.
It is as thin as a wing, but expensive. With the help of this kind of thing, the members of the special service team can share their fighting feelings with each other. With certain training, when a certain special service team member encounters an accident, other team members will clearly feel it.
By understanding his pain when being attacked, roughly confirming the location of the attacker based on the location of the environment, and then taking necessary cover or counterattack measures, this can greatly improve the combat capabilities of the special service team."
"So, you want to tell me that these infected people can also share feelings with each other?" Although the old secretary didn't know much about the latest high-tech products, he understood the truth.
The person in charge nodded and said: "Yes, in addition, we also found that the hyperplasia on the cerebral cortex of different infected people is similar, which means that they may have evolved into a swarming organism, exhausted... um... ants.
"
"Ant?" The old secretary understood. The most dangerous plan is to kill the queen ant, but...
"What's the point of contention?"
Person in charge: "Well... all of the above findings were discovered through medical anatomy, and then some biological researchers extended them to form clusters of conjectures... The fact is that we do not have sufficient evidence.
It can prove that our conjecture is correct."
The old secretary nodded: "Well... Anyway, you have worked hard during this period, and it is a good thing if you find something."
The person in charge gave a wry smile: "Old Secretary, which plan do you plan to use?"
Xing Zhuoshan was silent for a while: "Although the spread of infection has now reached an inflection point, there are still a large number of survivors in many places in the shelter. They are still persisting, so we cannot give up on them. We must clearly tell everyone who insists on fighting,
We have not given up on them, we will save them."
The old secretary's meaning was very clear.
That is to fight out! Take back the shelter!
The plan was finalized, and the soldiers began to assemble. These people were not active military personnel. They included security personnel, patrol police, militia reservists, and a large number of shelter residents who voluntarily applied to join the work of retaking the shelter.
After preliminary statistics, there were 3,600 people.
The existing weapons and equipment are enough to arm them, but not enough to support them in a long-lasting war of attrition. However, considering that every time a layer of residential areas is cleared, various resources can be replenished, and at the same time, the weapons on that layer can be collected.
personnel, there is still great hope for a final victory in this shelter clearing battle that may take a long time.
…
"boom"
In one shot, a eater was shot in the head with a shotgun. Zhou Baoyu was lying on the ground in shock, and the semi-automatic rifle in his hand did not fire a single shot in the end.
The shooter was Ah Ou. This little loli seems to have grown taller recently, but she is still cute and cute with yellow hair and a round face.
After kicking the unsatisfied ugly monster, Ah Qi cursed: "It's been three days!! How many times have I saved you??"
Zhou Baoyu didn't have anything to say after being kicked. He just felt extremely wronged. He didn't teach him anything and just gave him a gun and let him kill people. What kind of thing was that?
Even though he knew that those things could hardly be classified as human beings, Zhou Baoyu still couldn't do it. In his opinion, weren't the eaters and the infected all his former compatriots?
He is an honest man with no power, and he has never done anything bad in his whole life, but you suddenly ask him to take a gun to kill people. Isn't this going to cost him his life?
Fortunately, Kamino didn't say anything to him, just smiled faintly: "Take your time."
After the three people cleaned up the infected people in the warehouse, Ah Qi began to stuff various supplies into his pockets. Seeing that Zhou Baoyu was still in a daze, Ah Qi cursed angrily: "Hey! Don't you dare kill people, take things."
You still have the strength, right? Have you not weaned yourself yet?"
When Zhou Baoyu heard this, he immediately got up and came to help her. They had been hiding here and there these days, fighting when they encountered infected people and wandering around when they didn't. At first, Zhou Baoyu suggested hiding and waiting for rescue, but he was immediately attacked by Aqiu and Shenye.
despise.
They are hunters to begin with, and there is no reason for a hunter to hide from his prey. Zhou Baoyu gradually understood that Shenye was clearly taking the opportunity to train him. Unfortunately, after several days of training, there was no substantial change, and Zhou Baoyu still did not dare to shoot.
...In other words, the moral concept in his heart does not allow him to kill his compatriots, even if he knows that he will be killed if he does not do it.
At this point, Kamino didn't force him to do anything, and of course he didn't stop Ah Qi from scolding Zhou Baoyu. He just acted as a master who was used to raising his apprentices freely. He would do something when necessary, and at other times he would watch Zhou Baoyu being eaten or infected by other people.
Chase and run.
Not to mention, just from this period of training, Zhou Baoyu feels that his physical and mental qualities have improved to a great extent. At least he no longer vomits endlessly when seeing bloody scenes like before. Maybe even
Zhou Baoyu himself did not realize that his experience of life and death had become increasingly indifferent without even realizing it.
After loading a bag full of supplies, and having eaten and drank enough, the three of them were about to continue setting off, when the lights in the warehouse suddenly flickered.
Zhou Baoyu subconsciously raised his gun, but was kicked by Ah Qi: "Put the gun down, why don't you just flash the light!"
Zhou Baoyu has lingering fears. In the past few days, he has not been able to eat well or sleep well, and has become a bit nervous...
"Hey, hey, hey, can you hear me?"
The horn in the warehouse rang, and Kamino followed the sound and saw that it was a self-service workstation talking.
The three of them walked over, and a girl appeared on the workbench.
"You can hear it." Kamino replied.
"Oh, that's great. Let me explain briefly. I am Xiao Zheng of the temporary emergency management system in this residential area. I am mainly responsible for guiding survivors to the shelter. How is the current physical condition of the three of them?" Xiao Zheng
asked with a smile.
"It's not good, he was bitten." Ah Qi opened her mouth and grinned.
Zhou Baoyu was startled, and quickly waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, I'm very fine, I'm normal."
Xiao Zheng couldn't help laughing, she smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, even if you are bitten, as long as there are no symptoms of infection, we will still provide shelter services for you."
Kamino suddenly asked: "Has the central core of the uppermost area been recaptured? So the system has resumed operation?"
Xiao Zheng just smiled and did not reply directly.
Not answering was acquiescing, and Shenye turned around and left, with no intention of going to any shelter. Ah Qi followed him immediately, leaving Zhou Baoyu dumbfounded and at a loss.
Ah Qi walked away and saw that Zhou Baoyu didn't follow him, but turned around and said angrily: "Why are you so stupid? Ugly monster??"
Zhou Baoyu looked at Xiao Zheng and asked, "How many survivors are there in the shelter?"
Xiao Zheng immediately replied, "This floor currently accommodates 1,560 people."
"So few??!" Zhou Baoyu was shocked. In his impression, there were at least 60,000 to 70,000 people living in each residential area.
"It's not a small number, and there are still many survivors scattered throughout the residential area on this floor. They are following the guidance route to the shelter."
Hearing this, Zhou Baoyu couldn't help but turn around and asked: "Um...are we really not going to the shelter?"
His answer was a bullet.
The workbench was penetrated and Xiao Zheng disappeared instantly.
Zhou Baoyu was stunned. He couldn't figure out why Kamino didn't go to the shelter, but he knew he had no choice.
Returning to Shenye, Zhou Baoyu was obviously depressed. Shenye looked at him and said, "They can't protect you. The only one who can protect you is yourself."
Zhou Baoyu wanted to refute what he said, but he swallowed it back when it reached his lips.
"If my guess is correct, the manager of this shelter has started emergency response procedures and is preparing to take back the shelter." Kamino said while looking at the flashing lights outside the warehouse.
Zhou Baoyu looked up after hearing this. Outside the warehouse, he could see the shelter's axis support mast. Using it as a support, the 135-story residential area was stacked from top to bottom to form a huge oval space.
At this moment, this human sanctuary is suffering from infected lesions, and those lights seem to be white blood cells. The beacon is lit, and the counterattack begins.
"Does that mean this disaster will end soon?" Zhou Baoyu asked.
Kamino smiled meaningfully.
Zhou Baoyu was puzzled and heard Aqi mockingly say: "What are you thinking! With the current infection status of the shelter, it is impossible to clean it up in just a few months. This is if everything goes well, and these random
As the infected people continue to deeply integrate with the divinity they come into contact with, they will become stronger and stronger, and the cleanup work will become more and more difficult, so...hehe, this is still hell, and it will not become heaven!"
Zhou Baoyu's pupils were dilated, he was breathing heavily and felt like he was about to suffocate.
At this time, Kamino suddenly said: "But it's not impossible..."
Zhou Baoyu was stunned, and so was Ah Qi.
"I feel some very strong forces, and they are here too... If they are willing to take action, they might really have a chance to win."
"Who?" Ah Qi and Zhou Baoyu asked at the same time.
"I don't know, but it is indeed very strong." Kamino smiled faintly.
"Is he stronger than Lord God?" Ah Qi didn't believe it.
"Well, they are much stronger than me." Kamino did not feel uncomfortable because he discovered the strong ones. On the contrary, his eyes were full of excitement: "I really want to meet them."
Ah Qi curled her lips: "I don't believe it! Lord God is the strongest! He will always be!"
Kamino smiled bitterly when he heard this. He touched Ah Qi's round head with his hand and said, "I hope you are right."
Zhou Baoyu was a little embarrassed on the side. He didn't know whether he should interrupt or not. When Ah Ou's mood became more stable, Zhou Baoyu asked tentatively: "Mr. Shenye, do you really think I am capable of protecting myself?"
Kamino said: "You have to ask yourself."
"Ask me?"
"Over the years, haven't you noticed anything different about yourself from ordinary people?" Shenye asked.
Zhou Baoyu thought for a while and then scratched his head and said: "I... I just feel that I am too thin, and I really don't look good. Others... are not different?"
But Shenye shook his head: "Your thinness and appearance are due to the residue of sin lingering in your body. As long as it is removed, you will naturally return to normal, but this is not what makes you different from ordinary people, so you didn't pay attention.
Do you think you can see a lot of strange things sometimes?"
Zhou Baoyu was shocked when he heard this, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "What a strange thing..."
"No need to lie, half of your power comes from your father, and the other half comes from that woman. The power of the two of them is fused in your body. Since it doesn't kill you, it is destined to be used by you." Kamino did not continue,
He looked around and then said: "Anyway, you will understand later."
Does Zhou Baoyu understand?
It can be said that he understands, or it can be said that he understands nothing...
Regarding what Kamino said was different from ordinary people, Zhou Baoyu did have some special experiences. For example, he saw some things that others couldn't see but he could see. When he was a child, he often thought that he was a psychic and could see ghosts.
.But when he grew up, Zhou Baoyu found that he could sometimes see a group of human-shaped things following people in broad daylight. At this time, Zhou Baoyu was a little reluctant to believe that they were ghosts.
After all, how can a ghost wander around in broad daylight?
So Zhou Baoyu began to read books to try to find out the reason, but he could not find the answer. He told his cousin and sister-in-law once, but they just said that Zhou Baoyu was too tired and must have been dazzled. Gradually, Zhou Baoyu got used to it.
Stop paying attention to your own differences.
Now that Kamino revealed Zhou Baoyu's inner secret with one sentence, Zhou Baoyu began to feel that the man in front of him was indeed not here to tease him.
The three of them continued to walk forward, going in the opposite direction of the shelter. Along the way, they encountered several more eaters, and without exception, they all died under Ah Qi's gun. As for when Zhou Baoyu could pull the trigger,
It depends on the opportunity.
…
In the cold wind, Natsume was shirtless, and behind him, a huge black beast was slowly disappearing. The militants were so frightened that they could not speak when they saw this scene. After the battle, Natsume's shirt
It was torn apart and there was an extra scar on his face, but overall, he won pretty well.
However, this battle confirmed what Natsume saw and heard in Karizukiju.
Old gods?
Is the overlap and collision between dreams and reality...
These unimaginable things turned out to be reality. Since Natsume entered the mysterious gate, he has naturally become harmonious with the world. Therefore, no matter whether the outside world is cold or hot, it will not cause much trouble to him.
But he was shirtless in an environment of minus 120 degrees Celsius. This scene still shocked a group of unidentified armed men. They originally thought that there would be a fierce battle, but they did not expect that Cheng Yaojin came out halfway and was killed.
The man in front of him was dealt with by himself. Now he was red all over, like a burning statue of a god, and some of the armed men standing in front of him involuntarily stepped back.
Natsume is not a murderer, and he has no intention of killing these people.
But if those three machines are allowed to continue working, many important resources inside the shelter will be exhausted. Thinking of this, Natsume jumped into the air, and then flew towards the three strange machines located directly above the top of the shelter.
.
The armed men who saw Natsume's movements hesitated for a moment and finally started to fire to stop him. The bullets could not hurt Natsume at all, especially when he was flying at high speed. He stretched his arms, spread his fingers, and roared with the wind.
He passed right through the middle of the three machines!
In less than a second, there was a "boom" and the three machines fell down neatly.
The explosion set off a mushroom cloud more than ten meters high. Some armed personnel who were close were killed on the spot by the shock wave. Others who were far away also felt uncomfortable.
After Natsume landed, his face turned slightly pale.
Sure enough, it was a bit reluctant to forcibly pull the power of heaven and earth with the strength that he had just entered the mysterious realm. The strong winds that he pulled up like a big curtain were incredibly powerful, but they also almost tore Natsume's arms apart.
