Chapter 43: Differences of Opinion, Heading to Xinhuo
"It doesn't matter. Helping each other is a traditional virtue of the Chinese people! And if we can arrange the surroundings of the room like this, aren't they the ones who helped us?"
The professor smiled.
‘Professor, you said before that zombies are savage creatures without intelligence, but the ones we just saw are not like things that savage creatures without intelligence can do! ’
The owner of the barbecue restaurant, Fat Brother, frowned and asked.
If they hadn't noticed something was wrong just now and hurriedly came here under the guidance of the old professor, otherwise they might have been captured by the zombie.
"I don't know either. Although I just took a quick look at it before, my inference cannot be wrong. It is impossible for zombies to have their own minds because their brains have been destroyed by the virus."
"And now they can only satisfy their appetites. I think the reason for this is that something else is controlling the zombies!"
After hearing the teacher's words, the girl and everyone looked shocked.
"Control zombies?"
The girl exclaimed.
If someone else had told this conclusion like a joke, the girl would probably laugh it off.
But it was my teacher who said this!
That teacher who solved countless problems in the world.
"Yes, Xiaoling, I think the reason why zombies like human flesh and blood so much is because of hunger, and on the other hand, it may be because they can evolve after eating human flesh and blood.
I guess that maybe a zombie has evolved for some reason, and after evolving, he has the ability to control zombies. "
Hearing the professor's shocking speech, everyone present was shocked to the core.
"Professor, is this impossible? Zombies can still evolve?"
Xiao Ling asked with a trembling tone.
"Xiao Ling, there is a saying in the detective world, if all the impossible factors are eliminated, then whatever is left, no matter how impossible or unbelievable, is the truth!
If no one is controlling the zombies, then why would they not eat the food at hand if they are irrational? It's like if you let ten people suddenly pick up 10 million, do you think they will hand it over or divide it equally on the spot? "
The old man spoke his reasons calmly.
"Tch! Old guy, do you think you are a drum washing machine? The truth is that you are wrong. They are not just mindless creatures who only know how to bite, but a new species with organization, premeditation, and military skills! "
One of the people who heard the conversation between master and apprentice spoke sarcastically.
A clerk snorted disdainfully.
"Old sir, hearing is believing, seeing is believing. We didn't see whether there were mutant creatures controlling zombies, but we did see the zombies breaking through the snack street in a meticulous and orderly manner!"
"Why do I feel that he is not very reliable! He claims to be a biology professor, but he doesn't read detective novels like us!"
"So, a great genius like him also reads nonsense detective novels like that?"
Listening to everyone's ridicule, the old man frowned slightly, but he did not defend himself. Summer insects cannot be said. When you prepare to defend yourself against a group of ignorant and confident people, you have already lost!
So the best thing to do at this moment is to keep your mouth shut and watch them acting like clowns.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether he is a professor or not. After all, the zombie room he designed did save our lives. What we should consider now is how should we take the next step?"
A bamboo pole-like person next to Fat Brother asked.
"Hey, I thought we would discuss with Lao Zhang and the others, gather supplies, and then build a refuge base together so that we can survive in this apocalypse.
But I didn't expect that they were captured by zombies. In this case, we would not have the strength to survive alone. What if those zombies come again tomorrow? How should we respond? "
"How about... let's join the Fire Refuge Camp! I think the people who join are treated very well! There are jobs, food, and there are escorts there! There are so many of us men, so it is relatively easy to bring people in. of!"
A female store clerk had read the information about the Fire Shelter before her cell phone went out of service. She had wanted to join for a day or two, but she couldn't join because of her age, so she has been staying here.
The fat brother was silent for a while after hearing this sentence, and then sighed helplessly.
"That's it, that's all. Let's go, pack your things and get ready to go!"
Although he didn't want to be inferior to others, time was running out and there were many dangers outside. It was not the time to think about face.
"Huh?! Now? In broad daylight?"
Everyone was shocked.
"Of course, the Fire Shelter is an hour's drive from here, let alone walking. Plus it's so dangerous outside now. The zombies will be even more violent and ferocious at night. Don't you think we should leave as soon as possible?"
Everyone nodded slightly.
"But brother, can't we ask them to pick us up?"
"No, it's too dangerous. Wait until they come to pick you up. What if those zombies come back again? Who can stop them?"
"Brother, what about them?"
One person pointed at the master and apprentice, who had nothing to do with their family, and asked in a low voice.
"...."
Fat Brother looked at the manpower on his side. There were only five men and three women. If he brought these two burdens with him, perhaps the road ahead would be even more difficult.
So Fat Brother thought about it with a gloomy face, and then showed a warm smile.
"Hehe, old professor, let's go collect supplies first. You wait here for a while. When we have collected the supplies and are ready to set off, we will notify you and then go together!"
Hearing what Brother Pang said, the expressions of several people around him changed.
Want to take these two burdens with you?
They looked at Brother Pang with strange eyes.
"No problem, you go! We'll wait for you here"
The old professor smiled.
"Okay, then we'll get busy first, you have a good rest first!"
After that, Brother Pang was about to leave...
"Wait, Brother Pang, can you give me a charged mobile phone? Our mobile phones are out of power! I want to see the photos of my wife and children in my mobile phone!"
Hearing what the professor said, Brother Pang frowned, but still took out his new mobile phone, 15 yuan, and gave it to the professor!
This is my mobile phone, you use it first, and give it to me when we meet, okay?
Brother Pang smiled.
"Okay! Thank you Brother Pang!"
The old man smiled slightly.
After that, Brother Pang quickly left with the others and hurried back to the barbecue restaurant to collect supplies!
"Brother, are you really going to take them with you?"
The thin guy next to the fat guy asked.
"Bringing them two burdens? You think too much. Giving them a cell phone is equivalent to giving them another way to seek help. As for how to survive, it depends on their ability.
And didn't you hear me say that I would give it to me when we meet? Do you think we will meet again...
