The Hot Country had harassed the border of the Star Country many times before, and there had been several conflicts, large and small. Then they suddenly disappeared. The Star Country was busy dealing with the Japanese country at the time and did not investigate in depth. It was only when they passed through the Hot Country this time that they vaguely learned what had happened.
The country, which has always prided itself on its strong immunity, has suffered a major setback this time. The Ebola virus, which was rampant in Africa, suddenly broke out on a large scale. The appearance of zombies had already rendered the already inadequate medical team disorganized, with medical and health services falling behind and command and dispatch unable to be implemented. The Ebola virus is heat-resistant, highly contagious, and has a high mortality rate. Some countries abroad have Ebola virus protection vaccines, but the country does not. Compared to the impact of the zombies, the death toll caused by Ebola is much higher.
With its own problems piling up, the Hot Country naturally has no energy left to provoke the Star Country.
The investigation team quickly reported the Ebola virus situation to District One. The two countries share a border, and countless people have illegally crossed into the Star Nation; if they were carrying the Ebola virus, it would be a serious matter.
The investigation team traveled overnight to leave the country, knowing that every second they stayed would increase the danger.
After the hot country comes Myanmar. When Myanmar is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is jade. In fact, Myanmar has a rich variety of mineral resources, including oil, natural gas, tungsten, tin, lead, silver, nickel, antimony, gold, iron, chromium, etc. It is also a world-renowned source of gemstones and jade, with its rubies and sapphires enjoying a worldwide reputation.
In addition, the tropical and subtropical climate, the natural advantages of forest, water and marine resources, and the developed agriculture should have made the apocalypse less of an issue for this country. However, the reality is quite different. Along the way, zombies and other mutants have become the most numerous, the most powerful, and the most difficult to deal with in this country.
The investigation team immediately contacted District One, but District One was also unaware of the situation, saying that they couldn't reach the people they had sent.
The investigation team was divided on whether to proceed or retreat.
"I can accept leaving, but the gold and jade mines are so close, don't you want to take some back with you?"
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
Even during economic downturns and when luxury goods prices plummet, jade has not disappeared from the market. Moreover, jade reserves are limited, and scarcity drives up prices, so the price of high-quality jade will only continue to rise.
Yan Shi was also tempted. Gold was fine, but she was more interested in jade. However, they were a team, and there were ordinary people among them, so going would be quite risky.
"Besides, we need to replenish our supplies, and nobody knows what the situation is like in Dika Country."
They were eventually persuaded, after all, their teammates were reliable and didn't seem to be in much danger, and the temptation was quite great.
Fortune favors the bold.
Although the process was fraught with danger, the ending was good. Even though some people were injured, they did not become infected and turned into zombies, and they all arrived in the country of Dika intact.
They didn't find much gold, and there wasn't anyone in the group who really knew anything about jade, so they just picked some out, cut them up a bit, and if they thought they were okay, they loaded them onto the truck and took them back.
Not enough space in the car? Then don't worry about picking up anything, just throw it away to make room.
Some people even fought over a piece of jade, and in the end, the jade was split in two and became worthless, which made Yan Shi feel heartbroken.
After finding a gas station and filling up the tank, I drove off at full speed, taking the shortest route straight to the Kingdom of Deka.
They were caught red-handed by the Dika people as soon as they crossed the border, almost triggering a war between the two countries.
Surprisingly, Dika is the country least affected by zombies, and it's rare to find troops stationed on the border at this time.
After a long period of communication, they were finally allowed to enter only after the leaders of both sides connected via video link.
Unaffected by Japan, the Kingdom of Dika also flatly rejected the invitation from the Kingdom of Xing to become a vassal state. The Kingdom of Xing did not pursue the matter further. However, due to the information asymmetry, the investigation team was unaware that the Kingdom of Dika had refused. They treated the Kingdom of Dika as a cleanup project from the beginning and returned home on the way.
It's a bit awkward now, since they are a sovereign country. We warned them beforehand that they were only allowed to enter as tourists, and their stay could not exceed fifteen days. They had to prioritize compliance with the laws and morals of the host country.
The usually flamboyant investigation team suddenly became hesitant and restrained.
The streets were bustling with people, the market was teeming with noise, and the cries of vendors rose and fell – it was incredibly prosperous.
The investigation team was extremely surprised and vowed to find out the secrets of how the Kingdom of Dika dealt with zombies.
One of the guides in the group had been to Dekaka before, and based on the "spot the difference" method, he answered that there were more Buddha statues.
The country of Deka is predominantly Buddhist, with over 95% of its population being Buddhists. Temples are ubiquitous, and most households have Buddhist shrines. People often wear necklaces with Buddha images when they go out.
Yan Shi even recalled that Buddha statues were indeed everywhere, giving a very deliberate feeling, and some of them were very rough, as if they were hastily made.
"Does the Buddha statue have any effect on zombies? Well, people here are born Buddhists. If it's truly ingrained in their bones, they'll feel fear even when they become zombies. But you're telling me that this fear can overcome a zombie's instinct to eat people? That just means it's a fake zombie." Yan Shi shrugged. Faith does have a positive effect, but she didn't believe it could be materialized.
However, Western magic and the sorcerers of the Star Kingdom are quite fantastical, even absurd.
"We'll find out what's going on then. Let's enjoy life first," Zhuang Zhao replied to Yan Shi.
"Naturally." The weather is just right right now. Most of Dika is in the tropics, with only the northern part being subtropical. It is hot all year round, with temperatures only dropping from November to January of the following year, making it perfect for tourism.
Mango sticky rice, banana pancakes, Thai popsicles, fresh-cut fruit, pork leg rice, milk tea, stir-fried noodles, Thai BBQ, noodle soup, grilled coconut tarts, Tom Yum soup, coconut ice cream, Thai yellow curry chicken, spicy beef salad, cashew chicken…
Having been filled with fast food and wild vegetable porridge for so long, how could their bodies resist these temptations? Even with stomach upset and an upset stomach, they simply couldn't put down the delicious food they were about to eat.
Beaches, waves, jet skis, bays, islands, palaces, and temples—it's breathtakingly beautiful and so enchanting that you'll never want to leave.
Everyone got tired of playing before they remembered the important matter, and realized there were only a few days left.
The investigation wasn't easy. The people of Dika refused to talk about it, saying they were praying to Buddha for protection. They couldn't see anything clearly; they didn't see any zombies or other alien species, but occasionally they had the feeling that zombies were right next to them, which was very confusing.
With only one day left, everyone was discussing going back and had given up on continuing the investigation. However, when it was time to gather, not everyone was present.
"Does anyone know where those two went?" The ones not there were my male colleague who had recently married an Iraqi woman and his wife.
"Where did you go to play? Didn't you make it back? Where's your phone?"
"I couldn't get through, and I heard them say they didn't have any plans for today."
Everyone chimed in, trying to piece together the last time the two left.
Yan Shi also tried to calculate it, and he actually got something out of it.
"What are you thinking? Doesn't it all have a location tracking feature? You can just check the location."
"Oh right, how could I forget about location services?"
Yan Shi: I think you guys are just stirring up trouble.
