Chu Yu took a look at her expression and asked calmly, "Girl, do you still remember what it was like when you first encountered zombies?"
Wei Xiyin couldn't help but be stunned, recalling the night at the post station.
Chu Yu saw her expression and knew that his description was wrong, which made her think differently. "Yu is referring to the scene during the day."
Wei Xiyin finally came back to her senses. She frowned and said, "The body is stiff, the movements are slow, and it's just driven by instinct." Like a puppet wound up with an old-fashioned spring, every move was stuck.
"What about now?"
The answer is self-evident.
Chu Yu continued to speak to himself, "As time goes by, the monster seems to be getting stronger. Yu previously speculated that it might be due to the low temperature, or the pathogenic factor in the zombie's body is growing."
"So the second experiment Yu did yesterday was to determine the reason for his growing strength."
Wei Xiyin's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked, "Then, sir, have you come up with any results?"
Chu Yu didn't shy away from saying anything and poured cold water on her, "It's both."
Mingjingtang distributed a large amount of wood and charcoal to the two tribal camps for the guards patrolling on the ground to keep warm.
Chu Yu was not polite and directly asked Chang Ying for a dozen charcoal braziers to increase the indoor temperature so as to observe whether the zombies had changed due to the low temperature.
He found that as the temperature in the room rose, the smell of rotting zombies became stronger, and their movements were also restrained.
But it was only a suppression. No matter how the temperature increased, it was obvious to the naked eye that even when summer came, the zombies would still be much stronger than at the beginning.
And this growth has not stopped yet...
Wei Xiyin's heart sank when she heard this. "So the virus is growing? The temperature can only suppress it?"
It seems that low temperature and darkness are the active periods of the virus, and the zombies in the daytime are still getting stronger.
Wei Xiyin couldn't help but feel very worried. Thinking of her parents and brother far away in Kyoto, if this continued...
She didn't dare think any further.
"In my opinion, if we continue to let things develop like this, the situation will be out of control and the fort will not be able to remain unscathed in the future." Chu Yu said quietly.
Wei Xiyin's mood was in turmoil, and the meaning of Chu Yu's words was very clear.
Although the Wei family fort was safe, it could not be self-sufficient. The two wild boars and a few pheasants in the tribe were not enough to support the entire supply chain, and the vegetable seeds they brought back could not be cultivated in such bad weather.
Both food supplies and vegetables and fruits are currently extremely scarce.
If this continues for a long time, nutrients and vitamins will not be replenished, and I am afraid that everyone’s health will be affected.
As zombies continue to grow stronger, the fortress may not be safe in the future...
When that day finally comes, what will the Wei family do in this cannibalistic world?
Wei Xiyin leaned against the wall with her eyes closed, her fingers tapping frantically. The shadow in the corner made it impossible to see her expression.
Except for the howling of zombies, the room suddenly fell into deathly silence.
After a while.
She suddenly said, "Then according to your opinion, how should we break this situation?" Her voice was very calm.
Chu Yu noticed the small movement of her fingers and raised his eyelids. "Since the girl can ask this, I guess she has an idea in mind."
Wei Xiyin nodded in agreement, "Yes, since the imperial court can no longer be relied upon, then we must rely on ourselves!"
Chu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Judging from your reaction, I'm afraid you think the same as I do?"
She stared at Chu Yu and said, "Since you and I share the same idea, you should know that the Wei family fort needs to expand its safe area to make it self-sufficient."
The land outside can no longer be cultivated, so they need to find unpolluted hills, build high walls, and open up new fields on the hills.
If it is cold, build a greenhouse. If it is hot, find a way to irrigate the fields. In any case, you cannot sit and wait for death.
"Not only that, we also need to take in survivors in order to recruit our own troops, and..."
"Clean up the zombies in Yizhou!" She said the last sentence with great emphasis.
Natural disasters are accompanied by the full growth of the zombie virus, but humans have no ability to protect themselves.
In Wei Xiyin's opinion, the only advantage of this dynasty is that all prosperous cities have city walls. Due to the curfew system, most zombies are still trapped in the city.
But this is only temporary.
Once a survivor escapes, the city will be completely breached and a large number of zombies will pour out, which is likely to form a large-scale zombie tide.
How can we resist with only a few thousand people in the fortress?
Moreover, she had to find out the news of Kyoto by all means and try every possible means to bring back her parents, brother, and those clansmen who had no news from outside...
Therefore, a safe base must be established and the fort must be expanded to compete with the zombies for a place to survive.
Chu Yu sighed in his heart, if the girl has such courage, what worries does the Wei family have?
He bowed and said, "Yu and the young lady have the same idea. From now on, I will just follow your orders."
Acquiring population and recruiting troops all require food, and the first step they have to take is to subdue Gong Liulang and Zhang Yuanyan.
Swallowed up 200,000 shi of grain in the granary!
………
When Wei Xiyin left, she called Chang Ying.
Chang Ying and the two guards at the door had heard the conversation that had just taken place in the house.
Chang Ying followed the girl silently and returned to the underground palace together.
Walking in the deserted passage, there are guards on duty at both ends.
Wei Xiyin asked softly, "Did you find anything unusual?"
Chang Ying came back to his senses and reported in a low voice, "Miss, Mr. Chu has been staying in the room where the zombies are imprisoned. He is guarded by his side. I was also there when he was doing those two experiments yesterday and didn't notice anything wrong."
