Chang Ying reported all the situations that needed to be reported.
He still had things to deal with, so he left first.
Although Wei Xiyin was busy, she was worried about Wei Wenkang's education. She wanted to stay here and wait for the child to finish school, so she ordered the guard to ask Cheng Xiu to go to the research institute to get the information about the mutant zombie in Shilin Village.
There is still a month until winter, and she is more concerned about the situation of the mutant zombie.
The mutant zombie in Shilin Village is of utmost importance. The information cannot be leaked, so naturally he has to send a confidant to get it. Otherwise, if he just sends an unfamiliar guard over, Chu Yu probably won't hand over the information easily.
The guards received the order and trotted out of the camp.
There were guards coming in and out of the camp at all times. The children were quick-witted and no one noticed her in the camp, including Gu Qiu.
When Cheng Xiu heard the news, he quickly came over with a thick stack of information and followed the guards.
Cheng Qing is now following Wei He in charge of the mining of raw materials for explosives, while Cheng Xiu has been staying in the fort, responsible for the security and dispatch of the three places: the fort, the county town, and Shilin Village.
He was also in charge of the troops stationed in Shilin Village and had some contact with the mutant zombie.
Since Wei Xiyin and Chu Yu left, Xie Ruian has been in charge of observing the mutated zombies. She runs back and forth every day and has to work night shifts, which is very tiring.
Wei Xiyin took the thick file and sighed again: "Rui An is really capable. I wonder which young man she will marry in the future. If I were a man, I would marry her. What a good wife she is."
When Cheng Xiu heard this, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Don't say that again, girl!" Cheng Xiu stood firm and said righteously.
Wei Xiyin saw his serious face and felt a little helpless. "I was just sighing casually. She is an orphan, helpless and relying on herself to make a living in the fort. It is not easy."
Cheng Xiu felt that the girl was wrong.
"Because she met the girl. If it weren't for the girl, no matter how capable Miss Xie was, no one would appreciate her and she would just be buried in the dust." In his opinion, it was the girl who had what others could not match as a gentleman, and it was because the gentleman had a keen eye and was good at judging people.
Wei Xiyin was not modest at all and agreed very much, "Of course."
She returned to the couch with the documents in her arms, sat down, and began to read through them carefully.
Cheng Xiu didn't dare to disturb her and left quietly.
The data was recorded by Xie Ruian based on daily situations, combined with Chu Yu's previous observations.
The research institute is currently conducting experiments such as slicing, cutting off limbs, and feeding poison, but they dare not use them on mutant zombies.
The main reason was that Wei Xiyin was afraid of accidentally triggering another mutation, so she gave this zombie another layer of 'invincibility' mode.
So this zombie has only been under observation.
According to Xie Ruian's observation records.
The mutated zombies are very bloodthirsty and show great hunger every day. As long as there are people in the house, they will tirelessly hit the cage, always opening their bloody mouths, trying to devour the humans in front of them.
Since they no longer have the flesh and blood of living people to feed on, the mutated zombies have gradually shown signs of degeneration. Their appearance has changed significantly, and the flesh and blood on their bodies have gradually shriveled and dried up. However, their sense of strength remains, and they are still much stronger than other zombies.
Xie Ruian's preliminary conclusion.
After feeding stops, the previously enhanced strength will slightly decrease, but certain characteristics will be retained, and through these characteristics, it is possible to infer the process that the zombie may have experienced.
According to Kang Honglang's description, the magistrate of Guang'a County started feeding it at the end of winter and the arrival of the Taoist priest. Based on the time, they can infer how many living people this zombie has eaten.
How many living people does it need to eat before obvious evolution occurs?
This cannot be tested, so we can only make an estimate based on the number of people.
After discussion, several informed record-keepers gave a figure of approximately seventy to eighty people.
Previously, a recorder raised the question of why there were so many people in a county town, but the other zombies did not mutate.
Chu Yu wrote in his observation records that the premise is that this mutant zombie always eats complete humans.
And infer the experience process.
First of all, the direction of evolution. Based on observation, it can be confirmed that the intelligence of the mutated zombies has not been improved. In this respect, they are no different from ordinary zombies.
To facilitate comparison, Chu Yu captured an ordinary zombie and locked it up with it.
No differences in behavior were found.
The second is the attack ability. The mutated zombies have stronger bite force, faster speed and more durable heat resistance. High temperature can have an inhibitory effect on it, but it is not as weak as other zombies and can still run.
It is obvious that the direction of evolution is physical fitness or strength.
Xie Ruian wrote down her speculated evolutionary process and direction in the notebook, but put a question mark, as if she wanted to wait for Chu Yu to come back for confirmation.
Will the mutated zombies retain the power of evolution and grow further?
This is also the top priority of the research institute currently underway...
After Wei Xiyin finished reading the records, she put down the thick file and secretly wondered, if the first one could appear, would there be a second, a third...
It is difficult to accept the death of a loved one. In addition to grief, some people may choose to follow the path of County Magistrate Zhou and keep their loved ones in captivity.
In winter, once these mutated zombies break free from their restraints and run out of their confinement, it will be another disaster for the survivors outside.
The best time to clear out the zombie tide is actually in October. The temperature begins to drop, but the zombies' suppression has not yet been lifted, so there is no need to worry about soldiers suffering from heatstroke, dehydration, and other problems.
Wei Xiyin stayed in the camp all afternoon.
The weather was hot, so the martial arts class was not long. It ended at 2:30 PM and the children could go home by themselves.
As soon as the coach announced the dismissal, there was another commotion outside.
Mixed in with the laughter of children were the cries of some kids who had lost in their sparring matches.
Wen Kang stood beside his aunt, holding his small long tasseled spear. The child's eyes were moist, tears welling up in his eyes but stubbornly refused to flow out. He bit his lips and clenched his little hands, trying hard to hold back the tears.
It looked like it was about to cry but couldn't, and felt very aggrieved, like a sad little rabbit.
Not surprisingly, he lost again in the game-like sparring match.
Wen Kang insisted on practicing with his aunt and refused to pay attention to anyone else.
The coach couldn't persuade him, and no one wanted to be in the same group with Gu Qiu.
Xiao Gu Qiu had only been practicing martial arts for less than a year and did not know how to control his strength. He was particularly ruthless and would always beat one or two children to tears.
After much persuasion, the two children finally agreed to practice together.
The result is predictable.
Wei Xiyin heard the noise outside and saw that the children had finished their classes, so she walked out of the house.
When Wen Kang noticed his fifth aunt suddenly appear, he could no longer hold back his tears. He cried out "Wow" and ran towards Wei Xiyin with his short legs, crying.
"Wuwuwu... Fifth Aunt..."
Wei Guqiu stood up straight and stayed where he was without moving.
Her two little hands clenched tightly, her tender face full of nervousness. She made Wen Kang cry again. What if Fifth Cousin would blame her for this?
