Zombie Crisis: Survival comes first

Just when Chen Yu thought there was no virus on the dagger, the mouse started struggling again.

It took a little longer than last time, but it still had the same effect of infection.

Fortunately, Chen Yu prepared two buckets in advance and quickly asked Yu Feng to throw the mouse into the other bucket.

As more than ten seconds passed, the mouse's eyeballs began to change color. Although the color was not as dark as last time, it looked like cement.

Seeing this, Chen Yu frowned and began to analyze the series of results in his mind.

Last night, I used boiling water to disinfect the dagger.

It was still afternoon, and it was still early before dark. He looked at his watch and saw that it had only been about 19 hours.

It can be seen that the knife that has killed zombies is probably unusable even within a day after cleaning it, but the infection rate has slowed down a lot.

Chen Yu speculated that if disinfection could be done in another way, this time might be shortened.

Just as he said, Chen Yu put the mouse in the bucket and found something to cover it with, then sat there and waited.

He wants to wait until the rat completely mutates into a corpse rat.

After more than ten minutes, the mouse was already exuding a deathly aura.

The same goes for zombies. They look exactly like dead people, but they can still move.

Then Chen Yu looked around, and the two of them carried buckets and walked toward the yard.

Next, he would set up a stove to boil water. Since the backyard was where everyone heated food, Chen Yu was not willing to risk it.

If the virus spreads to other places during the process, and he doesn't notice it, it may kill others afterwards...

When he arrived at the front yard, Chen Yu walked to the corner, then picked up two bricks from the flower bed and returned.

This community had not been completely built before, so many places were filled with bricks. At that time, Feng Yi did not intend to throw them away, so he just piled them up. Except that no cement was added, it looked like that.

After stacking three bricks in three directions, Chen Yu became a little worried again.

Nowadays, there are no other pots. It is impossible to use the one on the stove. After all, this thing is in short supply now.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yu got up and walked to the kitchen. After rummaging through the cabinets, he finally found a stainless steel bowl.

This reflects Feng Yi's foresight in holding those trade fairs before. These materials were collected before, but they were rarely used.

Anyway, as long as it can no longer be produced in the end of the world, you can take it back and exchange it for material coins. The only difference is the value.

Since it was used to boil water for testing, he didn't bother to wash it. Chen Yu placed it on the bricks and then ordered: "Go dig some snow blocks and bring them over. It's best to find clean ones."

Hearing this, Yu Feng stood up from the ground, nodded and ran outside.

There isn't much snow in the yard, and it's mainly cleaned regularly.

Soon the fire was lit. Chen Yu held the fan and asked Yu Feng to add snow cubes to it.

It doesn't look like there's any scum, but it's actually quite dirty after melting away. Unless you go to an area where no one enters, the snow you dig out will be clean.

As the water boiled, Chen Yu also started the next step.

He took two other daggers from the arsenal in advance and stabbed them into the mouse's body, making them covered with blood.

Then he waited for a few more minutes to make sure the blood on the knife stayed longer, and then threw it into the bowl of boiling water.

Boil it for 10 minutes, dry it with virus-free dirty clothes, and put it aside.

After such a long time, Chen Yu continued to scratch a mouse with the same dagger.

This time, the infection took place more slowly, taking more than half an hour to begin.

After several experiments, Chen Yu knew clearly that the dagger could be used twice after being disinfected, but it had to be left for dozens of hours in between.

Next, it is necessary to be precise about the specific time.

Chen Yu and Yu Feng have been busy here all afternoon, trying again and again.

Fortunately, two more mice were caught later, otherwise it would not be enough.

It was not until dark when Zhang Yin and the three of them came back that Chen Yu finally figured out the clues.

If the dagger kills zombies, disinfect it with boiling water for more than half an hour, then wipe it clean and store it for about 24 hours, and the virus will basically disappear.

But this thing can't be left to chance, so Chen Yu doubled the time, that is, it can only be used after 48 hours of disinfection.

In this way, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Yu had previously felt that although the virus would remain on the knife, it was not a living thing and could only be regarded as a tool.

If the virus can survive on any object for a long time, then why do it? Just wait for everyone to die.

In one afternoon, Chen Yu's work was done, and Zhang Yin's harvest was not bad.

Mainly in the apocalypse, almost no one goes fishing. There are zombies everywhere. Staying by the river for a few hours is simply asking for death.

Zhang Yin basically kept vigil around the whole process, and then the two girls tied the fishhook and line to the rocks, and finally hid in the woods, checking there every hour.

They evacuated when it was almost dark, and the three of them walked not far. There was a river half an hour away from the community. Unlike Dazhuang and the others, they basically spent the entire afternoon on the road.

The final harvest was a total of four fish, almost a pound in size, plus two eels.

There is nothing you can do about it. Some zombies will die in the river, and the fish will run over to eat the carrion, and eventually they will become infected and become corpse fish. But the good news is that they will not eat their own kind.

And I don’t know if it was because there was too much water and it was diluted, but the remaining normal fish had no effect.

......

To the rear left of the community, that is, in the west direction, is the area where the four people from Dazhuang went hunting.

There were a lot of zombies in the nearby woods, not to mention small animals, and only a few birds were encountered, but they were too alert and very difficult to shoot.

When it got dark, the four of them arrived at the target area, which was a forest at the foot of a mountain.

Dazhuang stood at the edge of the cliff, taking advantage of the night to look around, then nodded and whispered: "This is it. Everyone, have a good sleep tonight, and you will be busy going into the mountains tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, Hong Wu was still dressed as before, wearing a tight coat and carrying a hammer on his back. He looked at the cliff at his feet, then turned his head and asked doubtfully: "Are you sure there are animals down there? Let's run all the way. Come, but there are only zombies, and occasionally I only encounter a few little squirrels."

After saying that, Hong Wu also raised his right hand. There were three of them, which had been shot by Dazhuang with a bow and arrow.

When they came out this time, most of the four people's arrows were newly made, using the cans that had been eaten.
