Chapter 36: The Tentacle Monkey
At the end of May, when the Yangcheng police were exterminating a cult gang, they found a strange monkey, and the monkey was taken to the hospital, where it found out that the monkey's characteristics were abnormal and handed the monkey over to the state.
After a brief study, the state handed over the project to a more professional research institution, that is, Ning Hong's research institute.
Next, as recorded in the notebook, the zombie monkey has a normal IQ except for no heartbeat, blood pressure and strong healing power, and in animal tests, body fluids do not cause infection.
It wasn't until a few months later that Ning Hong and a colleague, who was also a friend, entered the cage to collect samples, and the friend angered the zombie monkey and was scratched by the monkey's paw.
After coming out, my friend showed symptoms of weakness and dizziness, which were not noticed at first, and after getting vaccinated, my colleague was given two days off to rest in the dormitory.
The next day, the cleaning aunt who used to clean was attacked by a colleague, and after the security guards subdued him, they found that he had turned into a zombie.
After that, there was ordinary zombie research, and the zombie virus spread out for a time, but fortunately, the military region responded quickly and suppressed and quarantined.
Because of the virus rafters, the institute decided to relocate, but in the process of relocation, the zombie virus broke out again, this time not just one city, but the entire earth.
The institute was also destroyed.
Touching his chin, Xia You thought, and after a while, he raised his head: "Is that zombie monkey still there?" ”
"Yes, but after the crisis broke out, it mutated again, and was locked up in the basement of the research institute, and I also tried to study it, and put down two zombie mutant Type A, and they died at the hands of the primordial in just two seconds." Ning Hong turned the zombie monkey into the primordial body.
She added: "You can see it through surveillance, do you want to see it?" ”
Following the woman, Xia You came to the monitoring room.
Ning Hong adjusted twice, and a picture appeared on the big screen in the monitoring room.
It was a two-meter-tall giant ape with no body hair and a gray body.
What is even more striking is that the head of the giant ape is not a round monkey head, but a long tentacle with tentacles that shrug over the ground and have two glowing eyes at the root.
Its palms and soles are also wrapped in some short tentacles.
The giant ape leaned against the wall, motionless.
"It was that big in the first place?"
"It turned out to be a little golden monkey."
So this monkey has mutated to such a big size? This is obviously not in line with the conservation of mass!
Looking at the tentacles on the giant ape's body, Xia You frowned, if possible, he didn't want to come into contact with this guy.
"Have you tried communicating?"
"I tried, but it didn't have the intention of communicating, and communication requires a medium, and now it's not in a position to do complex linguistic analysis."
So what's next? Go down and see? Fist dating?
After thinking about it for a while, Xia You decided to come down.
"I'll go to the military base you mentioned tomorrow."
"The base is full of zombies." Ning Hong reminded.
"It's okay, you can take us by helicopter tomorrow."
After deciding to make a decision, Xia You went back to his room to sleep.
The next morning, he and Yuna got up to wash, and at nine o'clock, boarded the helicopter.
The military base is not far from the research institute, or if there is a helicopter, Xia You and his party quickly arrived at their destination.
"There are too many zombies down there, it's not good to shut down!" Ning Hong said.
"You don't have to stop, you just try to pull it down a little bit. Also, leave us alone, we'll go back on our own. ”
After the helicopter dropped some more height, Natsuyo hugged Yuna and jumped off the plane.
Through the glass window, Ning Hong watched Xia You fall heavily on the ground, smashing a big hole into the cement floor, and the dust was flying.
A moment later, a figure jumped out of the pit.
The loud sound of the helicopter and the sound of Xia You's landing attracted nearby zombies, and the corpse tide surrounded Xia You.
Looking at the dense tide of corpses, Ning Hong used the instrument to enlarge the picture on the ground and watched Xia You's actions.
Xia You's black iron sword appeared in his hand, and after cutting a few nearby zombies, he patted the head of the girl in his arms.
The girl looked up, and the two looked at each other.
Then the girl raised her hand, and a gray mist appeared on her hand, and the mist appeared and dissipated, and the nearby zombies fell down one by one, and the flesh dissolved and turned into dry bones.
A chill broke out in Ning Hong's heart.
She stopped circling and drove the helicopter back.
Holding Yuna, Xia Yu stepped over one dry bone after another and came to the interior of the military base.
The roads in the military base are intricate, but fortunately, Xia You has the experience of playing the plant maze when he was a child.
- When you encounter an impassable road, you cut down the wall, but you don't get lost.
Using a sword to kill the zombies on the road, Xia You had some doubts: some of these zombies were not wearing military uniforms, and some were even children, how could they appear in the military base?
Could it be that someone is stationed at the base, and the gunfire attracts nearby zombies?
How stupid would it be to attract so many zombies?
Letting go of his doubts, Xia You continued to search for useful information.
Soon, he found a location that looked like an important office.
Entering it and dealing with the few zombies inside, Xia You began to look at the various documents on the table and on the table.
In these documents, Xia You even saw the part about the launch of the missile.
Is there a missile in this base?
Looking through all the documents, Xia You only found the documents about the quarantine of the zombies in the city, but the documents about the zombie virus outbreak were not found at all.
Entering a few more rooms that looked like the leader's residence, Xia You found a research report on the zombie virus.
{…… Protoplasma viruses are very different from zombie viruses that are born after infecting humans...... According to calculations (no examples), there is a small probability that the protoplasma virus will not harm the brain...... And the zombie virus destroys the brain 100 percent...... The activity of zombie virus is much greater than that of protoplasma virus......}
After reading it, Xia You read it word by word again, frowning and thinking.
The virus in the corpse destroyed the brain 100%, while the primordial virus did not, and Ning Hong's brain was not damaged.
{…… The protoplasma virus cannot be preserved, and the virus is active only in the protoplasma......}
The zombie monkey had been staying in the research institute and had no chance to contact humans outside, so it ruled out that it was the primordial virus that infected the world, that is to say, the murderer was a zombie virus, but Ning Hong's brain was indeed not destroyed.
What caused Ning Hong to be infected was the primordial virus, and what caused the world to be infected was the zombie virus? Why is it different?
Frowning and thinking for a while, Xia You read the words on the report word by word, but his doubts were not answered.
Wait, think about it from a different perspective......
Xia You came to a conclusion that made him shudder-
The one who spreads the zombie virus is Ning Hong?
