Chapter 177 Return to the End of the World 5
Since the vaccine for the zombie virus was developed, zombies are no longer the biggest threat to humans. The wildly growing mutant plants and animals are the new challenges facing humans.
Unless some mutated weird species gather a large number of zombies to form a zombie tide to attack the base, the scattered ordinary zombies will be vulnerable to humans with hot weapons.
Especially after the human population declined sharply, the rapidly growing zombies began to become emaciated and move slowly due to the lack of edible fresh flesh and blood. The meat wrapped around the bone frame quickly rotted and hung on the skeleton.
Just then, the rich businessman who was peeing nearby felt a pain in his ankle before he could even put on his pants. Then a skinny zombie of unknown gender slowly crawled up.
The rich businessman's face turned pale and he shouted, "Everyone be careful, there are zombies."
As he spoke, he quickly pulled up his pants and ran backwards. At the same time, the wound on his foot quickly turned purple and eroded upwards along the blood vessels.
Zombies?
Those who were eating immediately ran to the car. Chen Qian put the half-eaten steamed bun into her trouser pocket, picked up the long sword beside her, and followed Lin Xing to the rich businessman.
The rich businessman ran forward a few steps and saw the zombie with a few strips of flesh hanging on its cheeks slowly standing up, moving forward with a clunk like an old, dilapidated robot. He looked down again and saw the purple wound on his ankle. He simply lay on his back in the dense yellow grass. Under the sparse sky of late autumn, he smelled the odor of ripe grains falling into the soil and rotting in the fields not far away, which reminded him of his childhood memories in the fields with his companions.
It is said that before a person dies, the memories of his life will flash through his mind one by one like a passing scene. The rich businessman will recall the simple and happy childhood life, the hardships of starting from scratch in his youth, and the luxurious enjoyment after becoming rich. Finally, the end of the world comes, and everything in the past seems like a big dream.
In the face of disaster, everyone was trying to survive. In order to stay alive, he once pushed others into a group of zombies to buy time for himself to escape. After struggling in this twisted world for thirteen years, he no longer felt hesitant before his death.
He straightened his messy gray hair. The zombie virus had spread to his entire calf. At this moment, he was extremely calm.
The rich businessman shouted to Shen Qing who was running over: "Captain Shen, can you give me a quick death? Let me die like a human being. I don't want to become a man-eating zombie."
"If you have time, can you set a fire to burn me after I die? If you pass by Shiqing County on the way back to the base, please scatter my ashes there..."
In the last days, it is a great beauty to see fallen leaves returning to their roots.
Before he finished speaking, Shen Qing raised his hand and fired a shot cleanly and quickly. The zombie in the distance fell into the grass as if it had jammed.
Wow, this shot is really accurate, it went straight into the zombie's forehead. The rich businessman had time to comment, hoping that the shot he gave me later would be as clean and effective, so that I would suffer less.
The post-apocalyptic plants seemed to have a strong vitality. The weeds on the roadside grew to half a person's height. Because no one took care of them, these yellow dead grasses lay on the road in the autumn wind.
Shen Qing's running was not smooth, as there were always long and dry grass leaves tripping him, but the rich businessman was lying leisurely by the field with a dogtail grass in his mouth!
Without even taking a breath, he ran to the wealthy businessman, took out a tube of dark blue liquid from his waist bag and injected it into the aorta between the man's wrist.
Chen Qian and the rest of the soldiers arrived at this time.
"Captain Shen, has the vaccine been administered?"
"You said you were scratched by a zombie, why didn't you run back to get vaccinated instead of lying here?"
"Yes, the wild is very dangerous. Why are you wandering around here?"
"That's not good. If a wild wolf or tiger comes out, you won't even be able to make a sound before it's snatched away."
"It's gone, it's gone. His zombification process has been interrupted..."
Sure enough, after the vaccine was injected into his body, the purple color of the wound stopped spreading, and under the gaze of everyone, his eggplant purple skin color slowly returned to normal.
The rich businessman was dumbfounded.
He was ready to die, and this is the result?
As expected, staying in the mountains for too long has made it difficult for me to keep up with the changes of the times. Antiviral vaccines have been developed by the time they were developed.
After a simple treatment for his wound, he was carried back to the carriage. The midday sun shone warmly on his body, and a few gray birds flew out from the nearby forest from time to time.
It is different after all, the rich businessman thought to himself. If he put aside the burden of his injured leg, he would just be abandoned. However, staring at the back of the soldier who carried him on his back, a glimmer of hope emerged in his gloomy heart. It seems that there is still hope for the future.
When we got back to the carriage, everyone gathered around us and asked about our well-being.
until--
"Are you hurt?"
The researcher's eyes suddenly caught sight of the bandages protruding from his trouser legs, and a faint smell of blood spread in the dull carriage.
The others were stunned and dispersed immediately. Then Tang's mother laughed twice: "It doesn't matter if we get hurt. In this world, anything can bully us. As long as we are not bitten by those man-eating creatures, it's fine."
The rich businessman had just come to terms with his fate, but now he couldn't help feeling a bit nervous, "That's right, I was so engrossed in the scenery that I got scratched by the zombie while I was peeing..."
"Zombies bit you?!" Father Tang protected his daughter behind him, his eyes alert: "Then why haven't you changed?"
Rich businessman: "What are you trying to change into? I'm not Sun Wukong, and I can transform into 72 different forms!"
Seeing that his father was speechless, Tang's mother turned to look at Chen Qian who was standing silently by the car door and said, "Little Chen, didn't you go there with them just now? What's going on?"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, and seeing that the rich businessman was acting like an old naughty boy, Chen Qian simply said, "Uncle Chen was accidentally scratched by a zombie just now, and Captain Shen cured him with a vaccine."
The rich businessman's real name is Chen Luo, and he and Chen Qian were relatives hundreds of years ago.
"Vaccine? What vaccine?" Tang's mother asked impatiently.
The others also pricked up their ears and listened.
Chen Qian had no choice but to explain the whole story in detail. She had just asked Lin Xing in detail about the vaccine, and now she spoke very clearly.
"So that's how it is." Tang's mother muttered, looking somewhat dissatisfied: "Why didn't they give each of us an injection earlier if there was such a good thing? What if Captain Shen and his men were unable to save us in time if we were bitten by a zombie?"
"You bitch!" Tang's father snorted lightly but didn't say anything in the end.
The others looked at each other with their eyes flickering in the flashlight beams, and the carriage fell silent for a moment.
Chen Qian took in everyone's expressions and sneered in her heart, oh, the human heart!
