Great time travel

Chapter 616: Dawn of the Living Dead

Chapter No.16, Dawn of the Dead

Some people say that the history of human civilization is a history of wars of cannibalism-human beings, the spirits of all things, are fighting each other and bidding farewell to each other step by step with the lives of countless compatriots. Ignorance and savagery have moved towards rationality and civilization.

Every development of human society has given birth to the progress of weapons and equipment.

In the prehistoric era, the appearance of stone spears and stone axes gave humans the basic ability to truly face dangerous beasts for the first time, and also made humans stand out in the category of animals.Next, with the emergence of bronze smelting technology, human civilization has a more efficient way of killing, sharp metal blades, freed from the constraints of nature on weapons, and the wars between humans have also become more intense and grand.

Then, the Hittite Empire in Asia Minor invented iron smelting technology, bringing the world into the Iron Age.Since then, farming countries have had an overwhelming advantage over the surrounding barbaric peoples in the military. Farming civilizations began to launch expeditions one by one, killing families and genocide, and wars became more bloody and cruel.

Next, the emergence of stirrups and the spread of iron smelting technology enabled the nomads not only to have the same level of weapons as the farming peoples, but also to have unparalleled mobility. The nomads who are good at shooting have regained their long-term military advantage over the farming peoples, and the mobility and flexibility of warfare have also reached the peak of the cold weapon era with the development of cavalry.

Thousands of years later, revolutionary firearms finally appeared, and the era of human beings relying on body and strength to collide and kill each other officially came to an end. The early long-range weapons such as bows and arrows were gradually eliminated, and the majestic cavalry began to decline and became a supporting role in war. .

After the emergence of automatic weapons, human beings can slaughter their own kind with unprecedented efficiency. In order to promote their various beliefs and righteousness, they can kill all enemies more, more gorgeously, and more quickly, more cruelly and thoroughly. destroy their homes.

——Human beings have always been good at destroying. This is a truth that has been proven countless times in history.Those ancient civilizations that were once glorious for a while needed to undergo countless years of precipitation and accumulation to form, but when they were destroyed by the enemy, it often only took a short moment.

After the emergence of nuclear weapons, their destructiveness has already posed a threat to the survival of human civilization, forcing the great powers to dare not fight again for decades.

However, this is still not as good as some biochemical weapons with god-level plug-ins!

Just a T-virus test tube that was accidentally smashed pushed the entire British island into the abyss of the last days!Turn Jane Austen's romantic novel "Pride and Prejudice" into a modern Hollywood horror movie blockbuster "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"!

In fact, the current Resident Evil outbreak in the world of "Pride and Prejudice" is even scarier than the situation in that hilarious horror movie "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"-in which the dead crawled out of their graves and hunted the living. people only.Now, in this biohazard caused by the genuine T virus, not only humans are infected, but various animals are also infected into zombie monsters.

Moreover, for the infected, becoming a zombie is still not the final outcome, but will "evolve" into a more ferocious biological weapon.

At this moment, what was blocking Wang Qiu's carriage was the strongest monster formed after the T virus infected the human body: the licker.

This is a monster that is uglier than zombies, and it is mutated from zombies that have reached a critical point of T virus infection.Its eyes have completely degenerated, and it has no vision at all. Its hunting depends entirely on its keen sense of hearing. Walking, running, and even the sound of breathing and heartbeat can hardly escape its ears.

——In the setting of "Resident Evil", the licker is the strongest type of monster that can automatically "evolve" or mutate after the human body is infected by the T virus.As for the stronger "Tyrant" or "Nemesis", they are all biological weapons artificially synthesized by Umbrella's laboratory using high-tech equipment.If you only rely on a tube of T virus stock solution or a few bites from zombies, you won't be able to fiddle with it.

Lickers can't walk upright, but they can rely on their powerful limbs and claws to climb upside down on walls and even roofs. Coupled with their super-powerful bounce and fast movement speed, humans can fight even with modern submachine guns. Strafing, it's hard to hit them.

As for the old-fashioned single-shot front-loading muskets of the Napoleonic War era at the end of the eighteenth century, they are even more like toys in front of such ferocious beasts.

Therefore, after the licker successfully slaughtered the living people in a building, it jumped to the middle of the road in a big way, blocking Wang Qiu's way.

To be honest, even though Wang Qiu has experienced many battles in the infinite space, with the five Bennet sisters behind him, he still doesn't have enough confidence. Just kill the licker with a gun, and at the same time protect Zhouquan of the five Bennet sisters... However, Wang Qiu has no fear of this, because he has a super cheat that can turn the tables at any time.

He sighed, then reached into his arms, took out the [Super Time Stop Watch], pressed it hard, "...I can't help it! Time stops!"

As a result, the eager lickers stuck in the road turned into motionless clay puppets, and the whole world fell silent in an instant.

——This is good skill is not as good as high technology, high technology is not as good as black technology!

Even so, in the state where time stopped, the horse that also became a statue could no longer pull the cart.Wang Qiu had no choice but to pull up the coachman, dragged the five Bennet sisters to abandon the car and walk, bypassing the lickers blocking the road, and walked to Bennet's house a mile away from the town.

On the way, they saw zombies wandering in the wild several times, as well as a few cows and horses that were suspected of being zombies. There was also a particularly unlucky family that was being attacked by their pet dog transformed into a zombie dog as a delicious night snack. , bitten the master until he was bloody and dying...

Seeing this, the five Bennet sisters immediately vomited all over the floor, their hands and feet were even more limp, and they gasped for a long time before finally being able to continue on the road.

When the group of them finally arrived at Bennett's home and turned off the [Super Time Stop Watch] to allow time to flow again, Wang Qiu found that this place had become a busy military base. All kinds of high-tech equipment and even black-tech equipment were moved over.The fence of the yard was connected to the electric grid, machine guns were set up on the door and the roof, and sandbags were piled up in the yard. Everyone put on full-body protective clothing, or at least a gas mask. The appearance of the enemy.

"...how is the situation? Has the T virus been confirmed? Have you figured out where they came from?"

Seeing Ma Tong, who was waving a pistol and directing the defense, and Nan Lixiang, who had set up a sniper position on the roof, Wang Qiu suddenly felt that the situation was critical—even in the zombie apocalypse of "Apocalypse", they seemed to be I've never been so scared...

"...The source of the T virus has not yet been determined, but its existence and outbreak have been confirmed."

Through the gas mask, senior sister Ma Tong replied in a somewhat stern voice, "...We have repelled an attack just now..."

"...Oh? But we didn't find any corpses or lickers outside the house just now..." Wang Qiu was puzzled.

"...It's a zombie bat! An aerial killer that haunts the night!" Professor Guo came out of the room leaning on a cane, still looking very weak, "...cough cough, just now two comrades accidentally killed each other. Bitten by a zombie bat. Fortunately, we can treat this disease..."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In modern Chinese online novels, as long as the concept of "the end of the world" is mentioned, seven out of ten will be associated with zombies, as if the destruction of the modern human civilization world must come in the form of zombie outbreaks.Although this kind of overly subjective thinking is really very, very unscientific, it can’t hold back the infectious and shocking power of the zombie apocalypse—as long as you think about waking up one day, you will see that the earth has been occupied by zombies, and you will feel that the world has been occupied by zombies. There are scenes of flesh and blood flying everywhere and stumps everywhere, and anyone will probably shudder.

It is inappropriate to classify zombies with those carnivorous animals that prey on humans. They are plagues, and humans are their hosts. The lucky victims are swallowed, their bones are gnawed clean, their Flesh was lost. Those less fortunate joined the ranks of the attackers, transformed into hideous monsters, and joined in the feast of flesh and blood that preyed on humans.

Fortunately, the zombie viruses in most movie plots are relatively "mild" and will not spread through water or air like infectious diseases, and will not even infect creatures other than humans.Infections that create zombies are generally only caused by direct contact with body fluids, the most well-known of which is of course a bite from a zombie... In some plots, even the exchange of body fluids other than blood will not cause the virus Infected, so that some "gentlemen" will put beautiful female zombies in a cage for tooth extraction, and then take off their pants to try what a "warm corpse" feels like...

To put it simply, it is like comparing zombies to vampires, as long as the living are not bitten, they will be fine.

But the problem is that the T virus in the plot world of the "Resident Evil" movie is not such a "mild" type-there are many sources of infection for the T virus, and zombie bites are only one of the most effective ways. Others include Body fluid infection, respiratory tract infection, etc. are almost equivalent to cold virus.The targets of its infection are not only humans, but all kinds of mammals such as mice, cats and dogs, cows and horses are all within the scope of zombification.

What's more terrible is that the T virus will mutate rapidly like a cold virus.With the continuous mutation of the virus, other animals also fell one after another, and even plants were finally affected.The most serious result is that the entire earth's ecosystem is collapsing, and all life from the land to the ocean is extinct. In the plot world of the movie "Resident Evil 3", it has led to global desertification... that is the real desert of death!

——When the blue test tube containing the original solution of the T virus was smashed, the death and destruction of the entire world was almost irreversible.

At this moment, in a glass jar in front of Wang Qiu, there are a few zombie bats that have just been shot down. At a glance, these zombie bats seem to be no different from more ordinary bats, except that they are slightly larger.But as long as you look closely, you will find how deformed they are-the abdomen of each bat has a vertical line that splits from the neck to the tail, usually like a wound cut by a knife.But when they swooped down in the night and attacked the living, the gap revealed its ferocious true face: it would open to the left and right at this time, revealing the densely packed teeth inside!And the tongue, which is not known to be mutated from the intestines or some other organ... As long as a person is bitten by it, the living person will be infected with the zombie virus.And if it is attacked by swarms of zombie bats, it may even be gnawed into bones!

And bats that can fly, their speed of movement and the speed of spreading crises are obviously much faster than staggering zombies...

Then, in another stronger glass incubator next to it, several healthy mice for experiments were kept.Ju Chuan Shizuka tried to inject one of the mice with body fluid extracted from a zombie bat.After only a few 10 minutes, the little white mouse turned into a zombie mouse: its hair fell off, its eyes turned red, its movements were slow and stiff, its eyes turned bright red, and it grabbed other healthy white mice and killed them. kill.Ten minutes later, the other mice that were bitten to death slowly climbed up after shaking violently. Although huge wounds were exposed and the blood had clotted, they were still limping. Walking around, and knocking on the glass desperately, it makes people feel palpitations.

"...Where this T virus came from is not very important anymore. The situation of disaster is right in front of us, which is more serious than the zombie crisis in the plot world of "School of Apocalypse". Anyway, that world Humans are the only ones who will be zombified. But here, not only humans, but also other mammals will be infected and zombified. And the way the virus spreads is not limited to the gnawing of zombies..."

Pointing to the experimental results in the glass box, Professor Guo sighed with concern, "...In fact, no one here is safe anymore. Everyone has been exposed to the virus to some extent. Because there is also T virus in the air. drifting away.

Although you look healthy, it is actually because you have too little T-virus infection through breathing, and the human body's immune system can quickly kill such a small amount of T-virus, so there is no mutation.Of course, even if someone is occasionally bitten by a small animal that carries the virus, as long as they are in good health, they should be able to maintain normal for a few days just relying on their own immunity.But it is different if it is a person who is attacked by zombies and is on the verge of death. His immunity is so weak that the virus can easily invade.Moreover, if the virus enters the blood directly from the wound, it will spread to all parts of the body in a very short period of time, greatly accelerating the infection process and turning the infected person into a zombie within a few minutes.In other words, as long as there is a monster like a licker, a village or a small town can be destroyed within a day! "

Regarding the above statement, Wang Qiu and the others, who had long been accustomed to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, looked calm, but the time-traveling version of the five Bennet sisters did not have such a strong psychological endurance, and their faces turned pale immediately, with no blood left, "... . . . and how is Meryton . . . now?"

"...We just sent a drone to Meryton for aerial reconnaissance, and what we saw can only be described in one word."

Ma Tong clicked on a video on the laptop at hand, and then pushed it in front of the five Bennet sisters, "...Purgatory on earth!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The sunshine of the autumn morning once again illuminated the town of Meryton, but compared with yesterday, the town was completely different.

Flames, thick smoke, mutilated bones, sticky blood... and walking dead wandering around the streets!

This is a dawn of the living dead!

Crowds of zombies wandered the streets, filled with a pungent rancid stench, and roared.They smashed into the houses where the living people were hiding, attacked any living people who fled in panic, and did not spare any animals. From the aerial footage of the drone, it can be seen that dozens of zombies take advantage of the narrow streets , successfully ambushed a guy who was trying to run away on horseback, not only tore the unlucky guy into pieces, but also knocked down the horse he was riding on. Amid the screams of the horse, he tore open its stomach, took out Organs, dismembered and devoured...

Although in front of fully armed humans, a single zombie is not difficult to knock down.But with the rapid increase in the number of zombies, the human beings who are still in a state of disunity have become vulnerable.Not to mention that there are still a few lickers who are elusive and destructive far more than tigers, and they are watching!

At the same time, instead of uniting to survive the crisis together, the remaining human beings in the town fell into fighting and plundering each other.

——Since ancient times, disasters and riots have happened at the same time.When a large-scale disaster occurs, the ensuing local order is out of control, which will definitely give some criminals an opportunity to take advantage of it.Not to mention England at the end of the 21th century, even China and the United States in the [-]st century. When such top world powers encounter a catastrophe, there are countless animals who take the opportunity to rob, kill, and break the law.

The situation is even worse in countries that are more aggressive.Any serious disaster will provide some restless people with an excuse to revolt—taking advantage of the disaster to coerce a large number of people into rebellion is the only way to gather people to rebel in ancient and modern China and abroad.

And as this zombie apocalypse beyond the limit of human imagination suddenly broke out without warning, the town of Meryton, which had not been tested by war for hundreds of years, immediately fell into a collapse of order.When some people chanted "the devil is coming" and "the end of the world is coming", while curled up in the cellar and lost their souls, other villains and vagabonds saw the hope of taking advantage of the fire and getting rich instantly... Even if they want to escape, they must Grab something close by, right?

As for the militia that had just entered Meritun Town, in such a chaotic situation where zombies were rampant and thugs swarmed, they failed to carry out any organized resistance. The ranks made the chaos worse.

The Western army before the French Revolution was an army composed of dignitaries and pariahs.The officers are all nobles and gentlemen, the soldiers are the dregs of society, either forcibly captured or desperate to join the army, and the non-commissioned officers in between are veterans.Discipline in the army was all about whips and firing squads, and the morale of the army was maintained more by looting and double rations than by any sense of honor and the prospect of promotion--generally speaking, it was impossible for a soldier to rise to the rank of officer.The European war in this era is a bloody game in which nobles and lords brazenly start, and poor and untouchables are whipped to death.

Such an army with distinct stratification and fierce conflicts between officers and soldiers may be slightly inferior to the warlord soldiers and horses of the Republic of China in terms of organization level. In the modern world, it will definitely collapse at the touch of a finger.In that era, only the rigid tactics of "queuing up and shooting" on a large scale could be applied.Because, in a seemingly silly volleyball, mental numbness and mechanical movement may be more important than positivity and courage.

In other words, this social structure in which the nobles monopolize military and political power determines that the battles of European countries can only be carried out by "queuing up and shooting".The untouchable army led by the nobles is very suitable for firing guns in large formations, but as long as they are broken up into small formations for guerrilla warfare, they will immediately lose most of their combat effectiveness.Because small-scale battles require enthusiasm and complex coordination, it is not as simple as mechanically loading and shooting on an open battlefield.Whips can numb people, but they can't motivate soldiers to deal with complex battlefield environments and fight without the supervision team and officers watching.

Once the army is dispersed and loses command, and the officers and soldiers are kept out of sight of each other, ordinary soldiers will immediately flee in large numbers, and veterans will sneak into houses and rob. The army can only gather but not disperse.

What's more terrible is that among the armies of European countries at that time, the organization and cohesion of the British Army had always been at the bottom, which was basically similar to the existence of military jokes.And the militia regiment that was just transferred to the town of Meryton is a third-rate miscellaneous army in the British Army. Leaving aside equipment and training, the entire regiment, from officers to soldiers, has never fought a single battle. The street goods in the...

In addition, they are all outsiders, so when facing the townspeople, they don't have any worries about the rabbit not eating the grass by the side of the nest.

As a result, before the officers who went to the dance heard the news and rushed back, the militia regiment that had set up camp in the open space outside the town was first invaded by a licker and slaughtered everywhere, and then the whole army was blown up. , holding guns and sabers in a mess, and trying to find their own way out.

In the chaos, the rout soldiers smashed open the door with their rifle butts, and drove away the homeowners who tried to protect their property with bullets, not caring about the crying children and women at their feet.They pointed their black muzzles at beautiful girls in dresses, and they used bayonets against old men on crutches.Don't talk to them about pity or sympathy. When they decided to make trouble, they had already sold their souls to the devil. Now they only know that people block and kill people, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas!For them, slaughtering unarmed civilians is as common as drinking water or sleeping.

But on the other hand, in the face of lickers who want to eat people or hordes of zombies, their courage melts like ice and snow under the scorching sun.Encountered in such a situation, they often abandon the property they just grabbed, screaming and running away in embarrassment... but they don't know that many small wounds on their bodies have been infected with deadly zombie virus, and within a few hours to a few Within days, you will become one of the walking dead.

Even if they didn't contract the virus and made it out of town intact, that didn't mean they escaped.Because the zombie crisis has spread from London, there are wandering zombies, zombie dogs, zombie horses, and lickers who are the ultimate killers everywhere in the countryside... Even if you are bitten by a mosquito that has sucked poisonous blood Danger of turning into a zombie.It's really hard to guard against, and you can't find a safe way to survive.

——In just a few days, the world began to collapse at an astonishing speed, so fast that people didn't even have time to think about countermeasures!

According to the high-altitude aerial photos taken by several military drones, several counties in southeastern England centered on London have fallen into chaos and disaster.Humans and zombies, human beings and human beings are all attacking each other in order to win chariots, horses and boats to escape, or strong houses to defend. People turned into ghosts, into bloodthirsty monsters, and turned those polite and personable model gentlemen into murderous monsters who shot each other through the head and put two more shots on the corpse.

Those who can finally leave this purgatory alive, except for a few lucky ones and clever ghosts, are the most ruthless and skilled cold-blooded killers, with only pathetic dullness in their indifferent eyes.The eyes were extremely indifferent, cruel, and pathetic, and the rest was suffocating dullness.On the way to escape, they will not hesitate to shoot at any target, even the elderly, children and women; when facing zombie monsters, they try to integrate themselves into the ruins and rubble with dirty It is beautiful to be indistinguishable from a garbage dump.

But even if they temporarily escaped from this purgatory, it won't be long before the all-pervasive T-virus will catch up and break out, turning the world into purgatory once again, forcing the remaining living people to embark on another journey of escape full of bones. ...until the whole world is completely reduced to purgatory...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"...Although the source of the T-virus has not been investigated, the world has really changed from "Pride and Prejudice" to "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies", and it seems to be a little bit worse-even "Pride and Prejudice" In the plot world of Prejudice and Zombies, human beings are not facing the crisis of extinction, and they even have time to fall in love, but the song, dance and banquet of gentlemen and ladies have turned into Gone with the Wind's battlefield romance."

Looking at the latest situation collected through the aerial photography of the drone, Wang Qiu couldn't help scratching his hair in distress, and commented ramblingly.

At the same time, sporadic gunshots and ugly zombie roars sounded from time to time in the courtyard where the electric barbed wire was pulled outside the house.

"...Actually, we can guess what's going on without investigation - there is no T virus in our real world, and it is even less likely to exist in the plot world of "Pride and Prejudice". So its source can only be Infinite space veterans..."

Senior Ma Tong replied leisurely, "...except for the two veterans who were ejected, you may be the only one with the original virus solution."

"...Are you kidding?! Sister Ma Tong, some food can be eaten indiscriminately, but some words can't be said indiscriminately! Although I got the T-virus before, it is true, but the last tube of T-virus I brought out from the world of biohazard The original solution has long been thrown in the Marvel world and handed over to Iron Man Tony Stark—because this thing is too dangerous, it will destroy the world if you are not careful, it is not safe for anyone, and it is better to hand it over to the superhero. good."

Wang Qiu became impatient when he heard this, and took out a green test tube and put it on the table, "...Now I only have this tube of virus vaccine left in my hand!"

"...I think so too." Ma Tong nodded, "...so the culprits can only be the Bennet couple who were replaced by senior ones."

"...that... It seems pointless to discuss the source of the T virus now. But, anyway, the destruction of this world has something to do with us outsiders. So should we think of a way , trying to save the world?"

Elizabeth Bennet raised a hand, inserted it and suggested weakly, "...Otherwise, it will always make people feel a little bit uneasy..."

"...Unfortunately, we can't do anything! The world is doomed to be overrun by zombies! Even dropping a nuclear bomb on London won't help. In "Resident Evil", Americans also ran rampant with zombies Raccoon City dropped a nuclear bomb in an attempt to destroy the corpses. What happened? Instead, the virus was rolled into the stratosphere and spread to the whole world with the atmospheric movement. Three months later, the global zombie outbreak broke out, and human beings almost perished!"

Wang Qiu shrugged, "... To be honest, instead of caring about the situation here, we might as well worry about our world! Do you still remember those Indian guests who just returned two days ago? God knows if they took T The virus brought back the India of our world! If that's the case..."

Hearing this terrible possible prospect, everyone present trembled and shuddered...

Although many thrill seekers like to watch zombie apocalypse movies or TV series, this does not mean that they like living with zombies.

Therefore, when Wang Qiu announced that in order to deal with this biochemical crisis, he was going to end the plot world of "Pride and Prejudice" as quickly as possible and let everyone return collectively. He expressed his warm support without hesitation.

But the question is, how to end the world of "Pride and Prejudice" and bring everyone back?

Although a series of main plot characters in "Pride and Prejudice" suffered heavy casualties in this sudden outbreak of zombie frenzy, which earned Wang Qiu and the others a lot of bonus points, however, even if all the points just earned are added up, , and there are only more than 5000 points, which is only enough to get one of the five Bennet sisters out of the plot... What about the remaining four?

Moreover, the plot of "Pride and Prejudice" has collapsed into this appearance, even if you want to score points, you don't know how to do it.

Besides, facing the real world where crisis may erupt at any time, Wang Qiu and the others don't have much time to continue dawdling.

However, Wang Qiu is quite confident about this—fortunately, the people who need to be rescued this time are all young women!

Of course, for the five Bennet sisters, it is the misfortune of luck. Who made them be women...

"...In fact, out of human rights considerations and respect for life, we originally didn't want to use this method. But we didn't expect things to suddenly turn out like this, for the safety of the country and the survival of the nation , we really have no other way. Therefore, under such a last resort, I hope you can make some necessary sacrifices and dedications for the motherland, the nation, and our world..."

At this point, facing the stares of the five sisters, Wang Qiu felt a little awkward and couldn't continue talking, so he winked at senior sister Ma Tong.

Ma Tong, who had lost all moral integrity, immediately smirked knowingly, and then stood in front of the five Bennet sisters in a grand manner, announcing to the frightened them: "...In short, dear girls, please dedicate yourself to the motherland. Get out of your womb!"

"……What?!!"
