Chu Jinjin took the imperial physician to report to Xiao Huai.
Wang Feng is alright; he can just stay in a separate room and wait for the final developments. But what about the Northern Desert Army? Chu Jinjin's plan is to absolutely not let Mu Wei go back; that would be too terrible.
"You mean, a disease that causes increased strength, loss of consciousness, and even loss of pain sensation?" Xiao Huai and the ministers were dumbfounded. At this point, there was no need to ask Chu Jinjin how she knew.
Everyone realized how terrible the problem was.
It is extremely contagious, spreading rapidly from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, until all the soldiers turn into half-zombie monsters.
They don't need too many. If there are more than 10,000 of these soldiers, even an army of 100,000 would not be a match for them, especially in siege warfare, where they are completely unafraid of weapons.
Even if you know a weakness, how many people can actually destroy a brain?
The chest area is about right.
"Mu Wei must possess some kind of secret technique to control zombies. The two sounds he made just now were, once a mutation, and once an attempt to capture me alive." This was the only analysis Chu Jinjin could offer. He looked at Mu Wei, who was crouching down in the distance observing the corpse. "Your Majesty, we must capture him at all costs and find out exactly what happened."
That's a difficult requirement.
In times of war, envoys should not be killed, especially in the current situation. Killing Muwei would be tantamount to pushing the Northern Desert towards the Northern Army's side.
Chu Jinjin understood this and clasped her hands in supplication: "Your Majesty, please send someone to keep a close watch. I am willing to lead a team to intercept them."
Let them leave according to etiquette first, and then take action after they leave the capital.
Xiao Huai lowered his head with an unusually serious expression.
After Mu Wei finished his inspection and confirmed that the twenty-eight half-zombies were completely dead, he appeared completely calm and walked over with a smile: "Chu Jinjin truly lives up to her reputation as a heroine. She was able to find the weakness in one go. My twenty-eight men did not die in vain."
He paused, then bowed to Xiao Huai: "Your Majesty, I concede defeat. All my men are dead, so let's not compete in the remaining archery and horsemanship."
Xiao Huai waved his hand lightly: "Very well. Miss Chu was a bit too heavy-handed. I hope Prince Mu will not take offense. I will assign someone to take charge of the burial arrangements for these twenty-eight people."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Wei glanced at Chu Jinjin. "Then, I will take the body back to the inn."
The meeting and the contest were merely a display of military strength by both sides to increase their leverage in the upcoming negotiations.
Wang Guangchen personally led a team to keep an eye on it.
Chu Jinjin didn't go back either. She sent someone home to deliver a message to Wang Feng's house, as well as to the imperial physician. She had been bitten on the wrist and didn't know if she had been infected.
Wang Feng was already married. When his wife, Zhang, saw her husband covered in blood, she turned pale with fright.
"General Wang, this illness is different from others." Chu Jinjin sighed and could only tell him the truth, urging him to make preparations as soon as possible.
The biggest difference between the Northern Desert soldiers and those of the previous life is that they have flesh and blood, and look no different from normal people. They are not afraid of the sun. At the same time, their strength and speed are not as exaggerated, but they have one thing in common.
He lost his mind.
Wang Feng was fine at first; this injury was nothing, and he would recover in a few days. But his expression changed drastically, and his voice trembled: "Miss Chu, do you mean I... I don't know anyone?"
Chu Jinjin nodded: "That should be the case. Moreover, it will attack all living people it sees, and the virus spreads through blood."
Zhang almost lost her balance. She clung to the wall for support, tears streaming down her face. "Miss Chu, is there no way to save her?"
Without consciousness, you won't recognize anyone, and living will be like being dead.
And it can also hurt people.
For her, the sky falling was nothing more than this.
Chu Jinjin couldn't bear to watch: "There's no way."
Even with the technology available at the time, no way to control the apocalypse had been found for so many years, let alone in this backward era.
Wang Feng forced back his tears: "Alright, don't cry yet. Have someone call my parents. I have something to say."
Chu Jinjin quietly left the room, giving the two of them some alone time.
This also gave Wang Feng time to make arrangements for his affairs after his death.
The Wang family had a small backyard, in the center of which was a rather unrefined artificial hill.
Chu Jinjin jumped to the top of the mountain.
The early autumn wind carries distant memories.
It's been too long since I've experienced something like this.
Even in the apocalypse, some people get bitten by zombies, and before they turn into zombies, they seize the last moments to enjoy themselves, and then let those around them die.
They become zombies, no longer human, but monsters that eat people.
When Zhan Qin arrived, he saw Chu Jinjin hugging her knees, a small, curled-up figure, like a homeless child.
Zhan Qin's heart skipped a beat; he already knew what had happened before he arrived.
"You know what? I actually come from another world. According to you, the person is still the same, but the soul has changed. I don't know where the previous Chu Jinjin went. Anyway, when I woke up, I had become her." Chu Jinjin had never thought of revealing this secret before. Perhaps it was because she was too repressed, and her mouth just spoke up on its own.
"In the world I live in, there are many, many zombies. People there live in fear every day. They can't grow crops or produce food. They can only find food and water from the past, and they are getting less and less. A single steamed bun will make many people risk their lives to steal it."
"Wang Feng also has this disease, Zhan Qin, what should I do?"
If there's one zombie, there will be a second. This world will soon become a living hell. She has no confidence at all in protecting her parents, family, and loved ones.
At that time, the world will be in chaos, and there will be no more peaceful places.
Chu Jinjin turned her head, looking at Zhan Qin, but her eyes seemed to wander elsewhere: "What should I do?"
She considered grabbing Mu Wei immediately and demanding to know how he did it.
But he quickly realized that if Mu really wanted to spread the virus, no one could stop him.
Zhan Qin gripped her hand tightly, giving it a firm squeeze: "I'm here too."
He wasn't surprised at all by Chu Jinjin's claim that she came from another world; he would have believed her even if she had said she came from the whole world.
Having created so many miracles, how can we better explain the past?
“There was no such person as Mu Wei in Beimo before. He seems to have appeared out of thin air. I think the time he disappeared must be related to the virus you mentioned.” Zhan Qin sat down next to her and gently hugged her. “As for the infection that Jin Jin is worried about, the possibility is very small. Soldiers are also human beings and have families. Of course, it would be best if we could take over the world by force, but how can we govern a group of mindless monsters?”
Zhan Qin offered both comfort and analysis: "I suspect there must be some other secret involved. If Mu Wei really had a half-zombie army, he wouldn't need to join forces with the Northern Army, or even negotiate frequently; he could just lead his troops to attack directly."
Chu Jinjin had suffered from severe psychological trauma during the apocalypse many years ago, and she never expected this. She pulled herself out of Zhan Qin's arms and said, "What you said makes sense."
Zhan Qin laughed: "Instead of worrying about things that haven't happened yet, we should think about what to do when war comes."
These words made something explode in Chu Jinjin's mind, and she jumped up.
She was only thinking about how terrible the zombies were, forgetting that she possessed advanced knowledge that was ahead of her time.
