Chapter 171 The Dead Walk

For soldiers or warriors, having a virus weapon is always the most frightening. It is an invisible horror, far more horrible than being killed by the enemy on the battlefield. But for the empire, a virus weapon is not something worth thinking about. On another level, this weapon is actually very inefficient.

Because in the final analysis, the virus itself is a parasitic bacterium that relies on the host to survive. In the history of evolution, the truly excellent bacteria is a kind of bacteria called "probiotics". When this bacterium enters the human body, it will not only cause harm to people, but also effectively improve people's health. It is good for the host's intestines and balances the body ecology, so as to achieve the effect of prolonging the life of the host. On the other hand, it also improves the bacteria's own ecological environment and prolongs its own life.

The harmful bacteria are different. They rely on plunder, invasion and damage the host's body to develop themselves. When the host dies, bacteria can only find a new host, or a suitable environment to continue to survive, otherwise it can only die naturally.

In the world where Li lives, biological and chemical weapons are something that makes people talk about. A natural epidemic virus can make the whole society panic, because it is a world of human rights.

In the civilized world, more attention is paid to the rights and equality of individuals and the embodiment of individual values. Human beings in that world live on the earth like a cradle, just using binoculars to carefully peep into the magnificent universe outside the solar system. The world is a galaxy of war. Human beings are in the midst of war all year round. Human beings in the war can not only do extremely cruel things to the enemy, but also to their own people.

When in danger, geckos know how to escape with broken tails, not to mention human beings. Therefore, in the jurisdiction of the empire, once a person in an area is infected by the virus, the common practice is to establish a quarantine area immediately. The quarantine area completely separates this infected area from the normal world outside the area. Anyone who tries to escape from the quarantine area will be ruthlessly shot.

At the same time, the virus emergency mechanism will also be activated, and medical personnel will make every effort to study the composition and weaknesses of the virus. Of course, all researchers understand that the main purpose of this research is not to save people infected by the virus, lack of communication, ideological control, strict confidentiality mechanism, all of which will be delayed. Slow the research process. When the experts come up with something, the infected people are almost dead.

The main purpose of studying viruses is naturally to reduce losses in such events in the future.

To put it simply, the empire can easily sacrifice a small number of people for most people. For the gecko, this is a broken tail to protect itself, but for the empire, it is not even a hair on its body. The empire has countless worlds. Even the empire's own administrative officials don't know how many planets the empire has, let alone how many people it has. The people who sacrificed a region are not painful for the empire at all, and they don't feel it at all.

So I want to use virus weapons to create terror and chaos in the Far East. This is simply a dream. Not to mention that the consuls of the empire can easily establish a quarantine zone, when necessary, the officials of the empire will not hesitate to completely flatten the infected area with artillery.

Not to mention that the performance of this virus seems to be just ordinary. It spreads rapidly, and the virus will die quickly. These are not special things. Most naturally formed plagues have this characteristic. However, Le Roi obviously regarded this virus as an extremely important weapon. In order to test the effectiveness of this virus weapon, he even did not hesitate to poison a company of storm commandos that he trusted most. From the chronological order of his handling things, he valued this virus weapon more than the "psionic bomb". He only It was to detain Li Anjie without being in a hurry to do anything to the little girl.

What on earth is this?

While Li was meditating, he suddenly saw something in a white sheet in the corner of his eyes moving.

Li immediately stood up and turned his head to look over. "What is that?"

"What?"

"What is under the white sheet?"

"The corpse," Fleming said calmly, "I've been using this corpse to study the virus. What's wrong?"

"Are you sure he is a dead man?" Li frowned.

"Of course, it's been almost a week since they died." Fleming shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have hollowed out my internal organs."

"But he just moved."

"It's not a strange thing," Fleming said carelessly. "Don't be afraid. Under certain circumstances, static electricity or magnetic field will cause the deceased's muscles to twitch. It's like the reaction when dissecting a frog. You should have learned it.

"No, it's not this kind of twitch." Li Changxhu took a breath and said, "I think I understand, Fleming, come here and walk behind me. Slow down, don't turn your head, don't turn your head and look back.

"What's the matter?" This is the case many times. You ask him not to turn his head and look back, but he still can't help looking back. So is Fleming. He turned his head and looked back in confusion. Then the medic, who has been in contact with the corpse for a long time, can eat, drink and sleep in front of the bacterial culture tank and the corpse. The young man couldn't contain his inner fear, so he let go of his voice and screamed.

Because the body that had been dead for a week sat up from **, the body was staring at Fleming with its unfocused eyes. The white quilt on the body slipped silently, revealing the hollowed-out abdominal cavity of the body's abdomen.

"It doesn't seem like a muscle twitch reaction." Li pulled Fleming behind him, and at the same time, he raised his hand and pulled out the explosive pistol hanging under his armpit. "It seems that this is the positive eye of the virus. No wonder that guy attaches so much importance to this virus weapon. If this kind of thing, it is really possible to make the Far East jump."

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Fleming kept screaming, "He was obviously dead. How could he move? This is completely unreasonable, it's impossible, it won't! He is already dead!"

"Yes, I also know this without saying that. No one can survive after the internal organs are hollowed out for another week!"

"But what's going on? He sat up and he was still looking at me!" Fleming said this and was suddenly stunned. "Wait, wait, I understand. No wonder the virus on the corpse is not as dead as in the natural environment. No wonder this virus is so weird. It turns out that it has this effect. It can bring the dead back to life!"

"The dead are resurrised? I'm afraid it's not that simple," Li said with a sneer, "And it mostly maintains the characteristics of aggressive and rabies."

"Why, you haven't done the experiment. How do you know?" Fleming asked doubtfully, "Besides, I think it seems to be quite honest. What's going on?"

"To be honest?" While saying this, the body suddenly rushed and rushed to Li Meng at a speed that ordinary people couldn't understand! Li had been prepared for a long time. He smiled and pulled the trigger.

The explosive bullet burst the body's head without any suspense, but due to inertia, the body still rushed to the crowd. Li turned around, kicked out sideways with one leg, and kicked the body that had blown off its head back to the hospital bed.

"He, he, he..." Fleming was tongue-tied and couldn't say a complete word for a long time.

"Nothing, it should be like this. I didn't expect that I really did it." Li took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in the depths of his heart. Li now fully understood that although the attack of the sitting corpse in front of Li could not pose any threat to Li, this moving and strongly aggressive corpse showed an extremely dangerous problem.

That is, the enemy has found a way to spread the deadly virus on a large scale.

If the virus is not strong enough, it will not be able to kill its host, which is more conducive to transmission. If the virus is lethal enough, it will kill the host quickly, but in this way, its spread is not wide enough. This was originally an insoluble rebuttal, but now these crazy people have obviously found a solution to it.

Because this rebuttal is based on an obvious fact that a person will not move when he dies. He will be buried and burned, and the source of the virus will be naturally eliminated. Even if nothing is done, with the passage of time, nature will corrode, differentiate, and eventually turn the body into harmless soil.

But what if the body will move?

What if the moving corpse is still very aggressive?

Then this corpse will take the initiative to spread the virus. The transmitted virus will make more people become this corpse, and more corpses will want to spread the virus on a larger scale. The number of infected people will increase by a terrible geometric value until the whole situation is out of control.

At that time, the corpses will run rampant on the earth, and there will be more dead than the living.

Zombies and terrible viruses will occupy the whole week. If there are more planets like this, the whole Far East will fall into fear. Who will not be afraid of the world where the dead are rampant? This simply brings the horror of people's nightmares to reality.

And this can also explain why Le Roi poisoned the Storm Commandoes around him. Although the Storm Commando is easy to use, how can it be more useful than the guard who has become a zombie?

After all, the members of the Storm Commando are just obedipate. In the end, their ultimate loyalty is the God Emperor and the Trial Court, not his Leroy.

It's different now.
