Chapter 341: The Natives Are Afraid of Light
Zuo Zixuan reached out and punched He Yi's arm lightly, jokingly saying:
“I didn’t realize you were so knowledgeable.”
"Isn't it because you have experienced so much that you have developed a pair of sharp eyes?"
He Yi reached out and hugged Zuo Zixuan into his arms, "Wife, your man is not an ordinary man.
I am a good man who can endure loneliness and resist temptation.
It’s hard to find even with a lantern, so you must cherish it while you can.”
Zuo Zixuan stretched out her hand and pushed away the handsome face that was about to come closer.
"What time is it? Do you still have time to play..."
"Who? Who's there?" The back door of the wing opened a crack, and the vigilant voice of a middle-aged woman came from inside.
He Yi and the other man were so frightened that before they could open their mouths to ask questions, they heard bursts of zombie roars from the next yard.
"Is it a human or a ghost?" the woman asked anxiously in a low voice.
"People..." He Yi didn't say anything more.
"Come in quickly." The woman opened the door and let Zuo Zixuan and the others in.
He Yi and Zuo Zixuan looked at each other, and without any hesitation, they immediately stood up and walked towards the woman's room.
After the people entered the house, the woman quickly closed the door and then pushed a cabinet over to block the door.
"You two young men, are you trying to save your lives? There are so many man-eating ghosts outside this brigade, how dare you run here?"
"Thank you for your help, sister-in-law.
My name is Zuo Zixuan, and I am a doctor.
This is my husband He Yi, he is a soldier.
We are here to take samples and study them.”
The middle-aged sister-in-law looked Zuo Zixuan and his wife up and down.
"Let's go inside and talk..."
In the dark, the middle-aged sister-in-law reached out and pushed open a small door, and led Zuo Zixuan and the others into a side room.
All the windows in the house were nailed shut with wooden boards, leaving not a single gap.
There was a double bed in the corner, with two boys lying on it. In the middle of the room was an eight-person table with four benches.
There are two cabinets, a tall cabinet and a sewing machine in the corner.
It can be seen that this family's financial situation is quite good.
"Please sit down. You're welcome." The sister-in-law invited them, placed tea bowls in front of them and poured them some water.
He took out another iron box, opened the lid and pushed it in front of them.
"Thank you, sister-in-law..."
"I don't have anything to treat you, so just make do with this to fill your stomach."
“My name is Ou Jiayun, and I’m the women’s director of the village.
My husband is the secretary of this forest farm. He is now trapped in the brigade office and can't come back.
We are the only three of us left at home."
Zuo Zixuan nodded, it turned out to be a cadre family.
"Sister Jiayun, can I get some information from you?"
Ou Jiayun nodded, raised the tea bowl and took a sip.
"You ask, and I'll tell you everything I know."
"Did a group of natives wearing animal skins get sent to your forest farm some time ago?"
“Yes, that’s what happened.
It’s after they came here that the village became like this.”
"Sister Jiayun, can you tell me the details of this process?"
“When this group of people came, the village chief arranged for them all to stay at the former labor camp.
On the first day, since they had just arrived, I didn’t assign them anything to do. I just asked them to clean their own place.
The village also distributed three months' worth of food to them per person.
The next day, the village chief notified them to go to the fields to work, and several women suddenly developed high fevers.
At that time, the village chief didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a common fever and cold, and went to the infirmary to get medicine for them.
But there was no improvement after taking it for two days.
Not only that, the condition got worse.
During those two days, some of their people fell ill one after another.
Then, people in our team who had contact with them also started to have fever.
Later, more and more people became ill, and one-third of the entire village was sick."
"So what are their symptoms?"
Ou Jiayun thought for a moment and said, “The symptoms of those natives are different from those of the people in our village.
The indigenous people generally suffered from high fever, vomiting blood, their eyeballs suddenly turning red, their bones breaking inexplicably, their skin getting cut, and their nails turning black.
The villagers in the team started coughing, then their whole body became swollen or had convulsions, and finally they bled from all seven orifices.
Also, after these people got sick, the natives seemed unable to see the light, and their skin would quickly ulcerate if exposed to the light.
So they all come out at night.
But the villagers in the team can see the light.
Also, the natives are very strong, and several people may not be able to hold down a woman.
The ones in the village are a little worse.
But both of them eat people, and if you are bitten by them, if you are not eaten, you will become their kind."
Zuo Zixuan asked with a puzzled look:
“The natives only come out at night?”
Ou Jiayun nodded.
"But I didn't see any zombies wearing animal skins among the group of zombies chasing us just now."
"Animal skins? They haven't worn them since the first day they got here.
The village chief said that the weather would soon get warmer and animal skins would no longer be wearable.
I found some clothes that were left over from the previous prisoners and gave them to them to replace the animal skins they were wearing.”
"Oh, that's what I said.
I couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked. It turned out that he had changed his clothes.
By the way, Sister Jiayun, are all the natives we sent here sick?"
Ou Jiayun nodded and said, "No one is left, adults or children."
Then he asked, "Xiao Zuo, what are the samples you want to take? What are they for?"
“Sister Jiayun, the natives and villagers have all been infected with the virus.
They are still alive, but the virus has taken control of their central nervous system and they have no idea what they are doing.
I suspect it’s a generational virus among the Aboriginals.
So, I want to get the blood of the indigenous people, take it back for comparison, and research serum to treat those infected by the virus."
"Hiss, taking their blood would be extremely difficult.
However, they are active at night and seem to hide in dark places to sleep during the day.
I think it would be safer for you to go to the detention center to get it during the day."
Zuo Zixuan felt that what Ou Jiayun said made sense.
She decided to wait until four in the morning, meet Xu Qingfeng and the others first, and then take them to the detention center to collect samples.
"By the way, Sister Jiayun, the village is so dangerous right now. Who would be running around in the village in the middle of the night?"
He Yi asked curiously.
"Why, did you meet?"
He Yi nodded and said, "My wife and I were in the south and we met a girl who was being chased by zombies.
We were worried that she would be bitten, so we rescued her and ran into the yard next to your house in a panic. "
Ou Jiayun said with a smile:
“Next time you meet someone like that, don’t bother with them, they usually run away really fast.
They are all wicked people who are not afraid of death and want to make money from the dead.
Many people in the village were infected and became half-human, half-ghost.
Some people take advantage of others' illness and when no one is home to run into other people's homes and rummage through their drawers and cabinets looking for food and valuables.
There is another type, which is when they see strangers coming into the village, they want others to take them out of the village.
If you encounter these two types of people, just ignore them. "
Zuo Zixuan and He Yi nodded in sudden realization.
The girl who was rescued by Zuo Zixuan and others at first was now rummaging through boxes and cabinets in an empty yard.
As a result, not even a grain of rice was found.
Really unlucky.
This evening, through the gap in the back window of her main room, she saw He Yi and Zuo Zixuan wandering around the village.
She was attracted by He Yi’s tall and handsome appearance at first sight.
She thought she was still pretty, and as long as she shed a few tears, no man could resist her.
He completely ignored Zuo Zixuan's beautiful face.
She made up her mind that if they didn't leave the village at night, she would definitely meet He Yi by chance when she went out.
Everything was fine before, and he won the sympathy of both of them.
Usually, after she screams a few times, any man will hug her tenderly.
But He Yi is different.
I have already taken the initiative to show my affection and throw myself into his arms, but the man just won't accept it and even acts like he hates me very much.
Maybe it's because his wife is around and he's pretending to be serious.
Alas, it’s such a pity to miss this opportunity. I hope I can come across it again next time.
I must use all my strength to make that man take me away from this damn place.
After searching the main room for a few rounds, he found nothing, so he turned and went to the right wing.
Seeing something bulging on the kang, he walked over to check.
She pulled off the dust cloth covering the top, revealing two brand new quilts underneath.
It seems that my luck is not bad today.
These two quilts should have been made as dowry by her old classmate's mother.
Now that she is gone, she can’t enjoy this good thing. So let me, a living person, enjoy it for her.
She happily picked up the two quilts and left.
But as soon as he turned around, the thing in his hand fell directly to the ground.
"Don't come over here. Are you human or ghost?" she said in a trembling voice, and she stepped back repeatedly.
Five dark figures staggered towards the girl.
"Ah, ah, ah...
Save me, save me..."
She covered her face and screamed heart-wrenchingly.
Not to mention that no one heard it, even if someone heard it, no one would come to save her.
If you scream at this time, who wouldn't know what you do?
The screaming sound did not last long, less than a minute, and then it stopped.
As for what happened to the girl, He Yi and the others had absolutely no idea.
Xu Qingfeng and his companions' return trip was not very smooth.
When they drove onto a country road, a group of zombies suddenly ran out from the fields and chased their car.
He also climbed onto the trunk of their car, attempting to climb onto their vehicle.
The driver had a gun on him, but he couldn't stop the car or shoot the zombies.
Because Zuo Zixuan said that those zombies were all alive, and at best they were patients.
It took a lot of effort, and the car was about to overturn, before we finally got those weird creatures off.
The city was in chaos at this time. Several departments blamed each other and even put the blame on Zuo Zixuan.
When the top leader found out about this, he was furious and directly removed the directors of more than a dozen hospitals in the city.
