"What are you doing?!" Zhou Yunan jumped up. Lin Rou had killed someone!
Lin Rou merely glanced at him coldly: "He's been captured. People infected with the zombie virus can't be saved; they can only be killed."
"The world is different now than it used to be, you need to adapt as soon as possible."
As she spoke, Lin Rou stepped forward and dissected one of the people's heads, quickly finding the crystal core inside. She deliberately absorbed the crystal core in front of everyone, and then released lightning, which struck the sofa in the center of the living room.
The other mercenaries, who were already resentful because Lin Rou had killed someone, were silenced after witnessing this scene.
“Zhou Yunan, do you see this? This is the end of the world. They don’t even know the use of crystal cores yet. As long as you cooperate with me, we can establish a huge advantage in the early stages, and then the entire country of China will be under our control.”
This ambition sounds almost childish, but Zhou Yunan felt it wasn't impossible. He raised his hand: a flame was born in his palm.
However, Zhou Yunan and Lin Rou's ambitions were shattered not long afterward, because the 'doomsday' that Lin Rou spoke of never came.
The sudden outbreak of the zombie virus did indeed paralyze China's national systems for a period of time, but thanks to the prior defenses, the casualty rate was quickly brought under control.
Aside from a group of infected individuals who became infected too quickly, those who were bitten or scratched were injected with serum specifically targeting the zombie virus after calling for help, and were quickly sent to the hospital.
The militarized, closed-off management also greatly controlled the number of casualties.
While the people of China were resting and recuperating at home, the military continued to operate.
Lin Rou clearly felt the difference between this life and the previous life. In the previous life, the apocalypse broke out, the streets were full of people and zombies, there were screams of fear everywhere, and the whole city was buried in blood and rotting.
In my entire life... the streets have never been so empty and clean.
All state-owned and private enterprises and various trade activities in China were suspended, public places were closed, and residents in cities were temporarily isolated at home, waiting for the army to clear away the unsafe factors outside.
There was no chaos like in the previous life; no one kidnapped or killed anyone.
The streets were only patrolled by armed soldiers.
China is a major food producer, and the rice, flour, cooking oil, vegetables, and fruits prepared in advance are enough to sustain the entire nation for two months.
[Holy crap, I was terrified watching the international news today! The news was being broadcast live from the US, and suddenly the reporter was bitten by his colleague!]
[I saw it too, it's terrifying! The 'virus' has been breaking out for almost a week, how come the US still hasn't controlled it? Will it affect us?]
No way, all flights from China are suspended now, don't even think about bringing them here! I have to go downstairs now for my temperature check!
[I've already been tested. Oh my god, you absolutely have to say if you have a fever! Yesterday, someone in our neighborhood wasn't feeling well but didn't say anything. Luckily, the building manager was quick-witted and reported it. The military arrived in the middle of the night and gave them an emergency serum injection; otherwise, if the virus had gotten into their brain, there would have been no hope!]
[This is truly harmful! There's a mother in our building who hid her child's fever, and it turned out to be a serious illness that caused her whole family suffering. And that child could have been saved!]
There's no need to be so scared. Didn't the national TV station already announce that a vaccine against this 'zombie virus' has been developed? Just hang in there for another week, and after you get the vaccine, you won't have to be afraid anymore.
After the disaster, hope returned to this land.
However, in this world, there are people like Commander Zhang who rush to the front line for the safety of the country and the people, as well as all sorts of ambitious people.
The arrival of the apocalypse meant a purge of power for them, and they didn't want it to end so quickly.
A week after the disaster, Zhou Yunan and Lin Rou gathered a group of people who had also awakened supernatural abilities and had impure motives. They knew that the vaccine was in the research lab and planned to wipe out the lab and the people researching the vaccine.
