Global Freeze: I built a doomsday safe house

After Zhang Yi and others returned to the shelter, they sat in the living room and rested.

The women at home thoughtfully served hot drinks and food to help them replenish their energy.

Zhou Keer stood behind Zhang Yi and gently massaged him to release the pressure.

But this time, although he successfully repelled the zombie tide, Zhang Yi didn't look relaxed at all.

Instead, a cloud of doubt enveloped his mind, making him look worried.

Such an expression made Fatty Xu, who was laughing and bragging with Uncle You, feel strange.

"Boss, why don't you look very happy?"

Everyone noticed something was wrong with Zhang Yi's expression and cast concerned glances.

"Yeah, what are you thinking about? You look so serious."

"If you have any questions, we can discuss them together!"

Zhang Yi looked up at everyone, took a deep breath and explained:

"We got rid of more than half of the zombies yesterday. But in today's zombie wave, the number of zombies is only a lot more than yesterday."

"This shows that the zombie virus spreads very quickly, and those who may die have turned into zombies."

"If this is the case, sooner or later the entire Tianhai City will be completely occupied by zombies! I can't imagine how we will live at that time."

Zhang Yi's words made everyone's smiles disappear.

Everyone lowered their heads and thought, with worried looks on their faces.

Yang Xinxin sat in a wheelchair, took a sip of cappuccino slowly, and then said:

"But at present, this tendency is not obvious yet. Otherwise, the other party would not just mobilize thousands of zombies to attack us every time!"

"However," she changed the topic, her expression was rare and serious, "If we can't figure out the truth behind the appearance of these zombies, they will definitely become a big trouble in the future."

Lu Keran let out a long sigh.

"If only it were summer! Those zombies would all rot and turn into skeletons."

Zhang Yi said: "The most terrifying thing is not their number, but that they seem to have controllers, so they are not brainless monsters."

"Plus they are difficult to kill and can only be burned or dismembered. This adds to the difficulty of disposing of them."

Yang Xinxin said: "Then the most critical thing is to solve the manipulator behind them?"

Zhang Yi smiled: "It's simple! Where can we find them? Every time we kill half of them, they run away."

"I can't even tell if there is a manipulator among the corpses. After all, things like superpowers..."

Zhang Yi spread his hands: "It is full of uncertainties, and it is difficult for anyone to use common sense to infer."

They are even less likely to easily go deep into the subway to investigate.

Because there must be more zombies hiding there.

Even though their fighting power is extremely powerful, Zhang Yi will not leave the protection range of the shelter unless necessary.

Just when everyone was having different opinions, Zhou Keer, who was standing behind Zhang Yi, spoke softly.

"Actually, I have a guess."

Zhang Yi subconsciously raised his neck and tried to look behind him, but his sight was blocked by two curves and he could not see Zhou Keer's face.

"Oh?"

Zhang Yi signaled Zhou Keer to continue.

Normally, as a doctor, Zhou Keer is not directly involved in the battle plan.

But this time, her professionalism as a doctor came through.

She knew the virus better than anyone at the shelter.

So her speech is of great reference value.

Zhou Keer received encouragement from Zhang Yi and said:

"I have been studying the bodies of zombies in the past two days, and I did find a very weird virus-like thing."

"It can withstand extreme cold and can even survive at minus 100 degrees Celsius. It can invade the nerves of living things and control the body."

"but……"

Zhou Keer frowned slightly.

"It does not meet the modern biological definition of a virus. Its structure should be between a virus and a cell, more like a cell, but it can invade the host's body for control and reproduction like a virus."

As a scumbag who threw away his knowledge after graduation, Zhang Yi was confused.

"Ke'er, can you make it simpler?"

There are only a handful of people in this house who can understand Zhou Keer's words.

At least the three men were confused.

Zhou Keer smiled sheepishly.

"After the end of the world, biology has been redefined due to the influence of gamma rays. Let's call it a zombie virus for now."

"Simply put, it reflects the habits of some bacterial colonies and even social animals."

"When zombies are among the zombies, their actions are consistent and even reflect a certain degree of wisdom."

"But the corpses studied in the laboratory have even weakened their reproductive instincts and become less responsive."

"So I suspect that the virus may be controlled in a way similar to biological populations, where the mother body with the virus can control them in some way."

Zhang Yi sat up straight from the sofa, "Remote control?"

Zhou Keer waved her hands quickly: "Of course, it doesn't mean a very long distance. For example, animals can convey messages through smell. And this mutated virus must also have its own way of conveying messages."

Zhang Yi said: "Do you mean that as long as the mother body is killed, these infected zombies will also die?"

Zhou Keer shook his head.

"It's hard to say. At least it won't be what it is now. It can act on a large scale and has a certain amount of wisdom."

wisdom!

These two words sounded like thunder in Zhang Yi's mind!

His eyes lit up, and he finally discovered the reason for that sense of dissonance!

"I seem to understand something!"

He put his hands in his hands and explained to everyone: "Have you noticed that the attacks of the zombie tide in the past two days seem to be fierce, but also seem to have a certain degree of intelligence."

"But in fact, the way the zombies play is quite naive, and they always choose to retreat after some zombies are killed."

"It feels like a two- or three-year-old child is slowly learning to speak. He can only take his time word by word."

When Zhang Yi said this, everyone thought it was very reasonable.

The group of corpses still looked stupid. Even if they were attacked by flamethrowers, they would not choose to spread out and attack.

But he also knew how to avoid Zhang Yi's dimensional door, and chose to run away when he sensed that the situation was not good.

There is wisdom, but not much really.

"Wait a minute, Zhang Yi! I seem to understand what you are talking about."

The person who spoke was Liang Yue.

She crossed her arms, her eyes full of caution.

"You mean that our opponents may be zombies with intelligence."

"It may be that it mutated after human death, or that the mutated virus took over the human body and became the mother body."

"In short, it has just gained wisdom and is still learning the way humans fight."

Zhang Yi thought this guess was very possible.

That kind of fighting method is not like that of a human being with a normal IQ, but it is not completely brainless.

"If this thing really exists, it should be an existence that can be called the Corpse King."

"After all, we have confirmed two conditions for obtaining superpowers. One is near death, and the other is the stimulation of external objects like ice soul."

"Then, it is not impossible to gain superpowers after death."

There was a brief flashback in Zhang Yi's mind, but he did not tell anyone the secret.
