The comrades from Changjing, full of passion and determination to die, flew to Shou'an for emergency rescue.
As a result, there was no bloody massacre at all. The cowardly warlords who were guarding the city had already plucked up the courage to start cleaning up the battlefield.
The body parts and corpses had been disposed of together, leaving only blood and dirt on the ground.
Having experienced a city being breached, no matter how scared you are, you have to dispose of the bodies as soon as possible, otherwise the smell of blood will attract more zombies in a short period of time.
The Changjing support troops looked at the three dying mutant zombies in confusion, and asked Shouan leader Ge Haibin in shock, "Did you do this?"
When did Shouan Base become so powerful?
They had just captured the city a year ago, and were beaten by zombies and fled screaming, seeking help everywhere.
Ge Haibin dared not take the credit for this achievement:
"No, no, no, we don't know what happened. These three suddenly started hurting themselves. They got into this situation by themselves."
General Changjing looked at him as if he had seen a ghost, his face full of disbelief.
Is the guy named Ge so scared by zombies that he's talking in his sleep?
The IQ of mutated zombies is almost the same as that of humans, and they have deep hostility towards humans. How could they possibly hurt themselves?
But after investigation, it was found that this was indeed the case. The survivors in Shou'an gave consistent statements and could even tell the details of the zombies' self-harm, completely ruling out the possibility of lying.
The general was so shocked that he was speechless and unable to make rational judgments. He simply reported all the information he had received to Changjing.
When Changjing received the news, the entire conference room was silent and no one spoke.
That's ridiculous.
In the end, it was the President who decided to send the three zombies to Taoyang as backup experimental subjects.
Only Taoyang Pass can contain the living mutant zombies.
So, the next day, Su Tao signed for the three mutant zombies that she had tortured to pieces.
After hearing the words of the Changjing support army general, Su Tao pretended to be shocked and nodded seriously, saying that he would do a good job of detaining the zombies and that there would never be any zombie escape.
The confused support troops just went back.
The happiest person to get the three tattered zombies was none other than Chen Wencheng. He was the one who least disliked the large number of zombies. His previous depressed mood was swept away, and he hurriedly had them carried into his laboratory.
Su Tao called him: "Wait a minute."
Shen Wencheng stopped and scratched his head to look at her: "What's wrong, Boss Su?"
"Is there no direct and effective way to kill mutant zombies at present?"
When asked a professional question, Shen Wencheng became serious and shook his head:
"They can't be killed, unless they themselves don't want to live, just like the Eye Tomb."
Su Tao's heart ached because Jiang Yu was following her in secret.
"The horror of mutant zombies lies not only in their strength, but also in their immortality. Given enough time and food, they will slowly recover from even the most severe injuries. The virus has been dormant and evolving within them for so many years that it has become symbiotic with them. To truly kill them, we must crack the viral DNA code and develop a drug that destroys its sequence."
Su Tao nodded, but what she was thinking was, does it mean that every time she catches a mutant zombie, she will have to lock her up in a small dark room first?
By then, Tao Yang would be like a collector, gradually collecting all kinds of strange and mutated zombies.
Thinking about it this way, the tenants in Taoyang are quite strong mentally. There are already five mutated zombies in the experimental base just across the wall, and they are all alive, but not a single tenant has moved out.
In fact, what she didn't know was that the long-term stability made the tenants feel too safe. Even though they knew there were terrifying mutated zombies just across the wall, they believed that Taoyang would not let anything happen to them.
Besides, if you cancel the lease and move somewhere else, you will only die miserably if you encounter mutated zombies, and the living conditions won't be that good. Anyone who cancels the lease is a fool.
Two days later, Shen Wencheng came to report to her again, and he was a little excited:
"Boss Su, our progress has been pushed up to 80% thanks to the arrival of those three mutant zombies. It's really interesting. These mutant zombies are very diverse. Do you remember the zombie with the shrunken lower body? It's codenamed 'Spinal Fracture'."
"According to our research, it was born with spina bifida, paralyzed for many years. After the infection mutated, it grew numerous cartilage tentacles from its spine. It kills people by severing them in half. Furthermore, depending on the lesion, it prefers to feed on different parts of humans. This one with spina bifida prefers the spinal cord and internal organs, as these parts transform quickly and help it grow."
"The Painted Skin was the same. When it was alive, it had a severe skin disease called lupus erythematosus, which was extremely painful. After it mutated, it preferred human skin and internal organs."
"The eye is suffering from a congenital disease where the vitreous is opacified and the anterior-posterior diameter of the eyeball is too long, which makes it difficult for the retina to form images."
As Su Tao listened, her thoughts drifted away.
These mutated zombies were all patients when they were alive.
In the end times, even ordinary healthy people are struggling to survive, let alone those who are sick and disabled.
When the virus brings them new life, not only freeing them from illness but also bringing them strength, there is a great possibility that they will regard the culprit of the end of the world - the zombie virus - as a benefactor God, and instinctively become hostile to the humans who once bullied them.
Then everything seems to make sense.
After all, it is humans who will be destroyed in the end times.
Su Tao didn't dare to go any further, so she encouraged Shen Wencheng with a few words and sent him away.
Not long after Shen Wencheng left, Minister Xu, who was far away in Changjing, called after not seeing him for a long time.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Minister Xu suddenly asked in a very casual tone:
"What did Mr. Shen's team figure out about those three mutant zombies? Why did they suddenly self-harm? I couldn't believe my ears when I heard it."
Su Tao keenly sensed the temptation in his words.
Is it necessary to ask her about the research progress? There are people from Changjing at the experimental base, and any research results will be reported to Changjing simultaneously.
Minister Xu's question was directed at her.
He is indeed very cunning and can guess something from just a few clues.
Su Tao was silent for a moment and asked:
"Would you believe me if I said I didn't know anything?"
Xu Chang said decisively: "I don't believe it."
At first, he really didn't think about Su Tao.
This matter is too weird and unbelievable, and Su Tao has indeed never left Taoyang.
But during the investigation, he heard a mother and daughter recalling the scene at that time, saying that there was like a transparent cover that separated them from the mutated zombies and trapped them inside.
In a flash, Xu Chang instantly thought of Tao Yang's protective shield.
Those who have never been to Taoyang may not be able to imagine it, but he has been there and lived there for a long time. He clearly feels that every day he is like living in a transparent cover with all-round protection without blind spots.
This cover can protect people and lock up zombies.
