    "They're all very stupid!" After tossing around all afternoon, he was already very tired, but when he mentioned fighting monsters, Zhang Ke immediately regained his energy.  This is a boy, his nature is full of killing genes.

    "I counted 16 of the 29 zombies with teeth and nails on their bodies. The wounds are very deep and there are obvious signs of struggle. So the question is, who will bite them?  ?¡±

    "Dogs and cats?" Zhang Ke immediately gave the answer. When cleaning the yard, he found two dogs and one cat.  The cat was not found, but the dogs were in the house.  It's a pity that Hong Tao didn't allow any of them to be brought back, and even killed them. This made Zhang Ke very dissatisfied. He likes small animals.

    "Exactly not, in homes with cats and dogs, there are no wounds on the zombies!"

    "It can't be a more advanced zombie! I said this morning that zombies can evolve, and they must have a core in their bodies Oops" No matter how precocious Zhang Ke is, he is a child after all, and his thoughts are easily distracted.  Being biased, I also like to make blind associations, but I got a slap on the head when I just mentioned the word kernel.

    "It is very likely that these 16 people did not mutate at the beginning. They were bitten by mutated relatives while they were sleeping, and they couldn't break free until they mutated. If this hypothesis is true, guess what? After being bitten  The mutation speed is very fast, that's why I didn't hear someone shouting for help in the middle of the night, if I can't escape, call the club!"

    In fact, no matter how Zhang Ke answered Hong Tao, he was talking to himself. He took the opportunity of chatting and asking questions to go through the thoughts in his mind and see if he could deduce any results.

    "Seeing the blood seal the throat!" Zhang Ke agreed with this inference and added a word.

    "Then the question is, how do these zombies obtain energy? What do they eat? Have you ever found a corpse that was eaten? No. That means they haven't eaten a corpse for more than a day."  Why do you have to think hard to prove that zombie bites can be contagious?  Hong Tao's purpose is not here, but to demonstrate another issue.

    In his opinion, turning a person into a zombie must be a disease, and if it is a disease, there should be a cause.  But whether you are infected by a virus or bacteria, if you want to move, you need energy.  People, animals, and insects all rely on food for energy intake, so how do zombies rely on energy intake?

    If you understand this problem, you can basically determine the nature of the virus, and then find the most effective way to eliminate zombies.  If we go further, we may find ways of treatment and prevention.

    "" Zhang Ke fell silent now, no matter how smart his little head was, he couldn't match the cunning Hong Tao's ability to calculate, so he was stopped by the question.

    "Stupid, have you seen any movies and novels that mention that zombies have other ways of survival besides cannibalism?"

    It's okay if you can't answer, but Hong Tao still hopes that Zhang Ke can be whimsical to remind himself.  Sometimes, scientific research is an accidental sentence or an idea, and adults may not be able to completely crush children in this regard.

    "Maybe they're not hungry" Unfortunately, Zhang Ke didn't provide any new ideas, and was still struggling with the issue of whether zombies can eat people.

    "The next time I kill zombies, I'll dissect one and show you, and then you won't talk back. The blood of those guys has coagulated, and no replacement body fluids have been found. If you still rely on the original digestion  The system absorbs energy, how can the body absorb energy without blood circulation? This does not make sense. I think, the most reliable are two possibilities. First, the source of infection such as viruses or bacteria is parasitic in  Those in the brain and nervous system feed themselves by decomposing and absorbing the human body. If this is the case, it will be our gospel. Wait patiently. Sooner or later, they will starve themselves to death. At that time, we will not have to worry.  Too long!"

    In fact, Hong Tao has already dissected several organs. Although he didn't examine the organs carefully, and he doesn't understand anatomy and pathology, he can still gain something from simple logic.

    "Another possibility?" Zhang Ke was very interested in this knowledge and listened very carefully.

    "The other possibility is more tragic. These viruses or bacteria may be creatures that we have never seen before, and they don't need to eat for energy. They may be able to combine certain substances from the air, or use the Earth's magnetic field  What. If that's the case, we're afraid we'll have to fight a protracted war. Whether we can win in this life is a question. And if we don't keep it intact for a long time, we can really evolve, and even infect animals If the streets are full of mutations  Wild cats and dogs, and groups of mutated rats! Terrible, terrible Hey, I can tell you two, if it is really like that, we have to move to a high-rise building, maybe we have to fight our way out.  At that time, who can keep up and who can protect themselvesThose who are strong will have a higher chance of being alive, otherwise they are basically waiting to die!  "

    Hong Tao has never been very good at complimenting others, and he would discount every good thing he said.  But he is the best at talking about bad things, and there are only worse but not the worst, no matter how scary they come.

    "I'm going to practice flying stone rope!" Zhang Ke took the first action, stopped reading the diary, and stopped asking questions.

    "I need a weapon. Without a weapon, how do you know that I can't protect myself!" Chu Qiu stood at the door of the kitchen, listening to the conversation between the two men while cooking porridge.  The more I listened, the more uncomfortable it became. I bit my lip and thought for a while, and then I took the initiative to ask for improvement.

    "Weapons are easy to handle, but if you don't have strength, it's useless. Get up early tomorrow. There are treadmills and rowing machines left by the previous tenants in the east room. Let's practice one by one. When can we run three kilometers at a stretch, let's talk about other things."  , if you can¡¯t even escape, it¡¯s useless to give you a submachine gun!¡± Hong Tao really didn¡¯t intend to scare people, but he didn¡¯t mind using the atmosphere to force Chu Qiu and Zhang Ke to exercise more.

    One of these two is nestled in the sales office all day long, and the other is lying on the desk. They are both extremely sub-healthy and lack of exercise.  very nice.

    After dinner, the three of them moved out again like moving hamsters. This time, the target was the gas tanks in No. 52 yard, a total of 10.  Although they are all medium-sized tanks of 15 kg, they are also very precious. Winter will come in two months, and we will have to count on them to keep warm.  I can live without electricity in the small courtyard, but without a gas tank, I have to suffer from the cold.

    In addition to working, you can also take a bath. When cleaning up during the day, Hong Tao took a closer look. There are two households with solar water heaters.  This thing can produce water without water pressure. It is quite necessary to take a hot bath after a tiring day.

    Before the disaster hit, Hong Tao had to stay up until about 11:00 p.m. every day, watching TV, playing games, reading books, tossing tools, and radios. Anyway, he couldn¡¯t fall asleep unless he exhausted some of his energy. It was still the same yesterday.

    However, after a whole day of hard work, after taking a hot bath, my eyelids started fighting as soon as I leaned on the sofa, and even the matter of giving Chuqiu a haircut was postponed until tomorrow.

    "Come on, kid, we have to sleep separately, so that if someone mutates, the others still have a chance to live, understand?" But there is one thing that must not be sloppy, and that is to prevent mutations.

    Hong Tao had tasted the feeling of sleeping handcuffed more than once in the detention room of the police station, and it was very uncomfortable, so he didn't want to handcuff Chu Qiu and Zhang Ke any more.  The alternative is to let Chu Qiu sleep in the bedroom, while Zhang Ke makes do with the bunk beds in the study, and continues to occupy the sofa in the living room.

    In fact, Hong Tao is playing tricks again. Neither the bedroom nor the study can directly lead to the small courtyard, and the living room is the most convenient place to enter and exit.  In case the two people really mutated, he could run away.

    To be on the safe side, he also found three mountaineering bags, one large, two small, and stuffed them with fast food, mineral water, magnesium sticks, first-aid kit, bright flashlight, multi-functional knives, mountaineering rope, and rainproof cloth.  One emergency plan per person.

    If something unexpected happens and you can't save it, just pack your bags and run.  Yard No. 52 has been cleaned up, so you can find a house and you won¡¯t be wandering on the streets.
