After the anti-zombie vaccine was mass-produced, it was sent to safe zones across the country.
After communications were restored, the Imperial Capital Safe Zone informed all survivors through various platforms that the anti-zombie vaccine had been mass-produced and would be delivered to everyone as quickly as possible. Everyone was urged to wait patiently while ensuring their own safety.
Once the entire population of the capital was vaccinated, the zombie eradication plan began, expanding the safe zone of the capital directly beyond the Sixth Ring Road.
At this time, vaccination has begun in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and surrounding safe zones.
The armed forces in J City, siding with the capital, controlled all buildings except the one where Dr. Yu lived, gaining control of the city. They even issued an ultimatum to Dr. Yu.
Qiao An'an has stopped bringing her longsword with her when she goes to work.
These past few days, she also contacted Zhou Fang and the others via satellite positioning and arranged for the capital's security department to provide them with an anti-zombie virus vaccine. The news that Qiao An'an and her group had brought Ya Ya to the capital to produce anti-zombie virus serum had been widely publicized by the capital's propaganda department. Zhou Fang was extremely excited on the phone: "We classmates were so excited to hear about it! We never imagined we'd had the chance to save an antigen carrier. If we had known you were going to the capital to develop an anti-zombie virus vaccine, we would have escorted you there safely no matter what!"
Just when everyone thought the zombie virus was about to be completely eradicated, the capital city suddenly lost contact with J city, which was very abnormal.
It's impossible for everyone in J City, with its several thousand residents, to suddenly lose contact with the capital.
The communications department used satellite surveillance to retrieve footage of J City before its fall and discovered that the city's paralysis was caused by a sudden zombie attack.
The zombie attack occurred within J City.
The survivors in J City were completely infected by dozens of zombies that suddenly jumped out before they could even react.
The entire city of J is now a ghost town.
Preliminary assessments in the capital indicate that Dr. Yu is highly likely to be involved in this incident.
Most of the leaders at the second-highest level believed that the most powerful heavy weapons in the safe zone should be used to bombard and wipe out all the zombies in J City. A small number of them, however, thought that if there were still survivors in J City, directly bombarding them with heavy weapons might harm innocent people.
Tang Xin pointed to a zombie in the picture and said to the leaders, "These zombies look different from the ones we've encountered before. Their movement and explosive power are much faster than normal zombies, and they seem organized and disciplined..."
Before Tang Xin could finish speaking, she was interrupted by another researcher at the meeting: "Through our research over the past year, we have basically determined that, to some extent, individual zombies can be regarded as a parasitic relationship. The human body acts as the host, while the virus controls the host. The person being parasitized cannot have conscious behavior, let alone organization and discipline."
Another researcher added, "That's right, this idea was proposed by your sister, Tang Rui. She should have told you about it, right?"
Tang Rui did tell Tang Xin.
Furthermore, Tang Rui presented this research finding to all attendees at the second-highest level using a PowerPoint presentation.
The final vote at the top-level meeting unanimously approved the direct destruction of City J.
The capital's security department assembled dozens of medium-sized weapon vehicles and headed towards J City, including many missile vehicles. Once these vehicles arrived in J City, the city would inevitably be reduced to ruins, and the zombies inside would be wiped out. Dr. Yu, surrounded by zombies, would also be doomed.
Upon hearing this news, Zhou Fang immediately called Qiao An'an: "Have you heard? J City is about to be completely destroyed. The wicked are finally getting their comeuppance."
Qiao An'an heard this news on the news in the capital city early this morning.
For some reason, when she heard the news, she was not happy at all. Instead, she felt a little uneasy. J City's security system was so strong, how could it be wiped out overnight?
Tang Xin shared some of the same unease as Qiao An'an.
After finishing the meeting on the second-to-top floor, she immediately took the video footage to Tang Rui on the 26th floor: "Sister, can you help me see what the differences are between these zombies and the ones you studied?"
Tang Rui knew her younger sister well. She knew that her sister was decisive and efficient, but also surprisingly meticulous. If she didn't have a real doubt, her sister wouldn't have come to her. So, after inserting the USB drive into the computer, she studied the image repeatedly. Finally, she froze the image and pointed to one of the zombies, saying, "Look here."
Tang Xin looked in the direction Tang Rui was pointing and thought the zombie in the picture had sharp features, its clothes were torn but clean, and its skin was only a little paler than normal. Other than that, she didn't think anything was wrong: "Are you trying to tell me that this zombie is good-looking?"
Tang Rui tapped Tang Xin on the head, scolding her for being irresponsible, before pointing to a black collar around the zombie's neck and saying, "The organized and disciplined zombies you mentioned are actually only a few dozen, and their common feature is that they all wear such a collar around their necks. I suspect that they are actually being controlled by someone."
Tang Xin frowned: "But you said before that zombies have no consciousness. Can a mindless creature be controlled by someone?"
Tang Rui was stumped by Tang Xin's question.
Within her understanding, a creature without consciousness cannot be artificially manipulated; its bloodthirsty behavior is merely an instinctive, unconscious act.
Tang Xin suddenly had a bold idea: "Is it possible that these zombies wearing collars are actually conscious?"
Tang Rui shook her head: "Impossible. If they were truly conscious, they wouldn't be zombies, but living people."
Tang Xin: "Then how do you explain their behavior?"
Tang Rui: "It's not certain yet. I can only tell you the reason after J City is captured and you provide body samples."
Tang Xin didn't say anything more. Judging from the current situation, this was the only way. She could only hope that the operation would be a complete success. She was originally going to go to J City with the team.
However, the top-level leaders believed that the bombing of J City was not much of a surprise.
Sending Tang Xin to J City would be a waste of her talents. Their main task now is to eliminate the zombies near the capital so that the survivors in the capital and surrounding areas can resume their production and lives.
Tang Xin could not disobey the orders given to her superiors, so she could only instruct her young subordinate He Xiao, who was going on the expedition: "Be careful in this operation, and remember to bring back the samples that researcher Tang Rui asked for after the operation is over."
He Xiaoli landed and saluted: "Don't worry, sir, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
