Chapter 26 Doomsday Island
Selena was a little surprised when she saw Su You and Li Xiannian reminiscing about the past.
"Grandpa, do you know this Miss Su?"
Li Xiannian nodded and said with a smile, "That's right, Miss Su and I hit it off right away. It's truly fate that we meet now."
As he spoke, he sighed silently, "It's a pity that we didn't encounter a good time. It's not safe outside now, let's go inside and talk."
There are few vehicles in the community, and the few people who occasionally pass by look nervous.
Even in the far suburbs, it doesn't look peaceful.
Amber looked at her, and Su You changed his mind in an instant and said with a smile: "Okay, old man. I'll trouble you for the next few days."
Selena felt a little strange. Miss Su was planning to leave just now, but she changed her mind so quickly.
But since she is my grandfather's friend, it is normal for her attitude to change.
But at this time, Su You couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
Not long after entering the door, a security guard came in a patrol car and knocked on every door to inform them that the entire island needed to be under martial law and no one was allowed to go out.
After this morning, anyone who goes out and comes back must be isolated and observed safely and must not be bitten by people who look like infected people.
If such an infected person appears, it is best to tie him up and isolate him in time, or even shoot him to death, so as to prevent others from being injured by this monster and turning into a new batch of infected people, thus expanding the scope of the situation.
At this moment, the situation in the entire villa complex has become serious. Although the authorities have cut off the communication network, the people living here are either rich or noble, and they soon find out what is happening outside through their own means.
Zombies, infected, monsters, biting, chaos.
After understanding what is happening outside, some people are anxious and worried, while others are typical action-oriented.
Some owners quickly took action, urging the gatekeepers and security team to close the floating bridge leading to the lake island. If the outside had already fallen, then after cutting off the access to the island, their area would be an absolute safe zone.
But after the connecting channel was cut off, this villa complex really became an isolated island on the water. Without any supply, people could only rely on the supplies accumulated in daily life to survive.
However, most of the residents in this villa complex have prepared enough food for a week or half a month, and the community also has backup generators for water and electricity, so it is not a problem at the moment.
The security guards of this high-end villa complex were quite conscientious in their duties. They came here to inform us of this matter.
After the security guard left, someone suddenly exploded in the villa. It was a male classmate brought back by Selena.
He held his phone and paced back and forth anxiously, "What should I do? I can't get out now. I just sent a message to my mom, and she said Chengbei is fine and asked me to go back quickly."
As he said that, he looked at Serena: "Serena, you brought me back, you must send me out."
He didn't dare to face Su You who was fighting the zombies, so he could only turn his attention to Selina.
Michael was about to speak up for Serena, but unexpectedly Serena looked approachable, but also showed no sign of weakness.
She said calmly, "If Miss Su hadn't brought us back, we would have died outside the school. It's so chaotic out there now. If you want to go out, I can give you a rubber boat and a car, but no one will take you home."
The boy said angrily: "Selina, I originally thought you were a kind person, but I didn't expect you to be exactly the same as those chaebols."
Serena coldly rejected him. "My driver is also very valuable. We can't risk him for something with such a high casualty rate. Helet, it's safe here. You can explain everything to Mom instead of wasting necessary human resources."
The other classmates, including Michael, also expressed their support. None of them had received a reply from their families. With the chaos outside now, it was already very difficult to have a safe place to live.
Helett could only go upstairs angrily.
Selena apologized to everyone and asked the old housekeeper to arrange for the classmates she brought back to rest in the guest rooms. Then Selena also went back to her room to change clothes.
After the farce, there were only three people left in the living room.
Su You sat on the sofa, looking at the gloomy sky outside. The wind was blowing hard, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, which rolled up the broad-leaved green trees and flowers, as if it was going to rain.
She looked at Li Xiannian, "Mr. Li, do you know where the infected people came from? What is going on?"
Li Xiannian sighed and said, "I just moved here, so I don't know much. However, one of my sons, Serena's father, works at Northen Biotechnology. In the past few months, their biological laboratory seems to have discovered a brand new virus, from a specimen that's hundreds of millions of years old, buried under the Antarctic ice."
Li Xiannian recalled, "This virus has an extremely low mutation rate, but it iterates very quickly. Within a short period of time after resuscitation, the primary virus produced many offspring. Researchers at the biotech company extracted the high-performing offspring and prepared to apply them to organ culture and body repair. They've made significant progress in animal experiments, and so this year, they've recruited many medical volunteers for testing."
"But in the past two days, something seems to have gone wrong with the experiment. Serena's father hasn't been home and won't answer the phone. When he called yesterday, he was just vague, telling her not to go out as much as possible and to keep more supplies at home. Who would have thought something like this would happen so soon?"
Su You looked thoughtful, and her guess was very consistent with what Li Xiannian said.
Nordson Biotech
It seems that her guess was correct. This disaster is most likely related to this company.
Li Xiannian was talking about an incident that happened two days ago, but only researchers at a biotechnology company discovered the problem, and the number of people undergoing the experiment was definitely not limited to this group.
It is estimated that this batch of experimenters has already fallen, and the situation for the previous batch of experimenters is not optimistic either. These researchers discovered the problem and tried to find a way to rescue them, but it is too late now.
The city-wide outbreak means that the virus has passed its incubation period and is now in the pandemic stage of transmission.
I don’t know whether Northon Biotechnology Company has fallen or whether it has developed an effective drug. If the virus is not contained, it may continue to mutate and spread, and there will be more and more zombie-like infected people. Humans have no way of controlling this highly contagious thing that cannot be prevented.
Moreover, Su You suspected that these infected people had a certain degree of consciousness, but this was no longer human will, but had transformed into some kind of beast-like instinct.
They are not afraid of death or fatigue, and rely on their sensitive sense of smell, vision and mobility to instinctively pursue living people and flesh and blood.
Then, the entire city of Snowe will really become a zombie city full of infected people.
If they can no longer find any living people in the city, will they migrate, leave the city, and disperse to other places?
So will the official think tank issue such a warning and take more extreme measures such as directly nuking the city in the face of this crisis that even the army cannot control?
