Huan Chu was planning to drive forward in his Hummer to continue inspecting the situation, but he couldn't help but laugh when he saw the military dog pulling out a notebook from his vest and handing it to Chen Wenwen. He asked what the queen had received in her hand. Chen Wenwen turned around and replied, "A diary, hmm, it should belong to the owner of Heizi, named Zhang Chaogui." "
Blackboard? "
That's its name. Chen Wenwen patted Hei Zi's head and said.
After a moment of contemplation, Huan Chu turned the car around and drove off into the distance. Since we have obtained the diary of the person who has experienced everything, there is no need to risk venturing into the gathering place that has been taken over by zombies to investigate. Huan Chu took out the Zippo lighter he had casually picked up in the military store earlier, lit a cigarette, and said, "What are you reading repeatedly? It starts from November 1st." "
Chen Wenwen responded with a 'hello' and then began flipping through the diary. It seems that Heizi also knows that the conversation between the two is important. He lay quietly on the back seat, no longer making any noise, and quietly looked out the window. "Found it," Chen Wenwen looked down and read from the diary:
On November 1, 2012, the weather was clear at 8:00 PM. Today there were continuous gunshots coming from the infantry camp, at first I thought it was some kind of surprise drill, and Hei Zi seemed a bit annoyed. When Erliangzi mysteriously told me that there were brothers over there who would bite people like crazy, I scolded him angrily. But when I was in the cafeteria, I found that the brothers in b7 camp were suddenly missing. That's when I knew something was wrong. I heard that there was a mutiny in the morning, and the staff ordered to suppress it by shooting. I actually believe Erliangzi's statement more. A mutiny? How is that possible? The military meeting held in the afternoon confirmed my thoughts. The military headquarters issued an order for all troops to enter the city, and provided many photos of terrifying 'humans'. I clearly saw several brothers from the b7 barracks in the photos. The explanation from the staff headquarters is that these people have all been infected with the mutated rabies virus, and we are ordered to shoot them immediately if there is no response to our calls. The 79th Mechanized Brigade has entered the city, we will set off tomorrow.
On November 2nd, the weather was cloudy, at 9 o'clock in the evening. Oh my, what on earth is happening in this world. The capital has completely turned into a zombie city, with virus-infected people wandering the streets, biting anyone they see, completely devoid of consciousness. The brothers in our car have been discussing what is going on, although the instructor told us to stay calm and treat them as ordinary enemies. But I could clearly see that the instructor's body was also trembling slightly, indicating that he knew little more than we did. Blackie kept barking wildly at the outside all the way, and calling it to be quiet had no effect at all. Almost all military dogs were very restless. We arrived in Shijingshan at 11 o'clock. The mechanical and engineering troops that entered the city first yesterday had apparently already cleared the surrounding area and built makeshift fortifications. The task assigned to our military dog camp by the superiors is to patrol day and night without interruption, but I feel that it has little to no effect. The military dogs are all very restless, and Blackie keeps barking wherever he goes, as if there is a smell in the air that he really dislikes. It's time to go out for another inspection. "
Chen Wenwen turned the page with a serious expression, only to see that the handwriting of the owner became sloppy, with no record of the weather or time. The diary only hastily wrote a date: "November 3rd." Today we started our mission. I followed the brothers from the 3rd squad to search a residential building. Inside the building, all the residents were infected with the virus, and none of them survived. We even found a baby who was only a few months old, with only a head left as its body had been eaten away. Old Wang, who had just become a father not long ago, was obviously stimulated by this scene and began shooting wildly at the virus patients. Fortunately, we all made it back. But the two fools who went on a mission with another group of brothers were not as lucky as us. Their group of 13 people only had 8 survivors. The two fools, along with their little fool, were carried back wrapped in military blankets. It is said that the two fools were infected by the patient and then bit the little fool to death. Oh my goodness, I can't even imagine this scene! If I am infected, make sure to let the mole escape, never stay with me. "
The diary entries that followed became sporadic, mostly documenting mission details and memories of fallen comrades. It also specifically mentioned that the current missions are mostly carried out by mechanized infantry, and armies without armored vehicles no longer leave their assembly areas. It is evident from the change in the way he refers to those monsters from patients to zombies that the owner is filled with sorrow and indignation. Zhang Chaogui talks every day about the strengthening of the zombies' attacks on the gathering places and reflects on his good luck.
November 15th. Today the zombie attack is more intense. I don't know why, but I always feel like this time we are not fighting against a group of unconscious creatures. The zombies seem to have organized themselves. They actually understand the concept of staged charges. How could a group of mindless and unintelligent monsters like them possibly do such a thing? I don't know about other positions, but the 131st position where we are stationed has suffered heavy losses. The number of brothers killed in action has exceeded two digits, and the number of injured should be no less than thirty. Hehe, today, only me and Little Ghost are left in Class Three. I guess if we combine all the remaining students, we might have enough for one class? There are three days left until the planned retreat time, I will definitely survive! "
Huan Chu was clearly stimulated by the words 'organized', and his expression suddenly became serious. In his opinion, no matter how fierce the zombies were, they could only pose a certain threat to humans in the early stages. Their lack of consciousness and the fatal flaw of being able to infect but not reproduce doomed them to be destroyed by humans sooner or later. But if Zhang Chaogui's guess is correct, and the zombies start to show signs of intelligence, or if there emerges a leader among the zombies like a wolf king who can command them, then the situation will change drastically. These higher-ups can drive zombies to attack humans, instead of just being driven by nearby food as before. This is undoubtedly a huge disaster for humanity.
Chen Wenwen obviously also realized this possibility, and her voice lowered: "November 16th, clear weather, 11:32 PM." The night sky is beautiful today, reminding me of my hometown. When I was a child, I often sat on the bamboo bed in the yard, looking at the stars and listening to my grandmother's stories. Hehe, it really is a nostalgic time. My good luck has run out, so I'll write these down while I still have my wits about me. Today, the zombies unusually did not launch an attack on us, so we relaxed for a while and returned to the base, only to witness an unbelievable scene. I completely fail to understand. Didn't the superior say that as long as there is no infection after being bitten for 24 hours, there will be no infection? Why did such a large number of zombies rush out from the medical area behind? Why did our brothers who survived life and death suddenly lose their minds and become zombies? If attacked from the outside, we can hold out for a month even if we are outnumbered. But the attack came from within, which is unbelievable, truly unbelievable. Forget it, I'm almost dead anyway, it's useless to investigate these things. I put the diary in Hei Zi's jacket. Friends who get this diary, be careful. If Hei Zi is still alive, please take good care of him for me. He is a good fighter and very useful for warning about zombies. Please do not abandon him. If I don't die, he will definitely not leave. Besides, I don't want to end up like a fool either. "
The language of the last diary entry was somewhat confused, and the handwriting appeared even more sloppy, which took Chen Wenwen a lot of effort to decipher. Obviously, Zhang Chaogui had already lost his mind, and the last words he said were probably his decision to commit suicide, which allowed Heizi to leave his master and search for survivors everywhere. Perhaps Kuroko also understood the master's last wish, which is why he willingly handed over the diary to the two of them.
Chen Wenwen closed her diary, sighed deeply, and gently stroked Blackie lying beside her. Huan Chu remained very calm, focused his attention completely, pondered for a moment, and finally spoke, 'I see, most of the wounded broke out at the same moment to achieve the instantaneous destruction of the capital gathering place of tens of thousands of stationed troops.' "
Chen Wenwen looked at Huan Chu with a hint of surprise and said, "Are you saying that his guess is correct?" Have the zombies started to show signs of consciousness? Huan Chu shook his head and replied, "It's obviously unlikely that all the zombies would start to regain their consciousness, otherwise Heizi wouldn't have survived until now." Blackie seemed very unhappy with Huan Chu's disdain for him. He stood up straight, showing off his strong physique to Huan Chu, and barked a few times.
Huan Chu did not expect that Heizi could actually understand his words. He smiled apologetically, made a gesture of apology, saw Heizi satisfactorily lie back down, and continued, "But I think, among the zombies, there are probably some leaders, like the wolf king in a wolf pack... No, wolves have their own minds, so I should say, like the queen bee in a beehive." In a group, only one individual possesses the ability to think and exercises unconditional dominance over the others. "
Upon hearing this, Chen Wenwen exclaimed in surprise and quickly asked, "Why haven't we encountered the superior among the zombies you mentioned after shuttling through the capital for so long? If it really exists, he should command all the zombies to come and devour us, right? "
Huan Chu sneered and said, "You are overestimating the two of us." When have you heard of a queen bee commanding worker bees to collect nectar from a specific flower? In his eyes, the two pieces of food are equally insignificant. What I really want to know now is how these top leaders emerged, how many top leaders there are in the entire country of X, and what their mindset is like. Knowing these things will make the road ahead much easier. "
Chen Wenwen heard the last sentence from Huan Chu, gently stroked Blackie's hand, and for some reason, she burst out laughing. Seeing both Huan Chu and Heizi looking at her in confusion, the queen gave Huan Chu a bright smile and said, "Those are all issues you should consider." But now, can I go with you? "
