Doomsday rat

But the ancients said again, the three cobblers are Zhuge Liang.These few are masters who like to read, and they are not only professional, but after some guesswork, there is a general range.

Everyone agreed that since the zombie virus can convert sunlight into the energy needed by the body, it should not be uncommon to absorb some nuclear radiation.This is also in line with Wang Jianzhong's guess. He firmly believes that this virus does not belong to the earth, but comes from outer space.

Chapter 368 Intercontinental Express

If this assumption holds true, then the logic of the whole thing makes sense.Since they come from outer space, the living environment is very harsh, and all kinds of radiation harmful to human beings have long been eaten.Otherwise, they would not be able to reach the earth at all, and would have to be killed by various high-energy rays and low temperatures on the way.

But assumptions are assumptions after all, no matter how smooth the logic is, they are still assumptions and cannot be completely taken seriously.Hong Tao returned to the Temple of Earth base. In addition to summarizing the research results related to the living corpses and sending them to the alliance headquarters in simpler terms, he made another request to the alliance:

Continue to look for experts in related fields to join the medical research project in order to find answers faster.Even if the corresponding drugs and treatment methods are not available for a while, the weaknesses of zombies and living corpses can be found based on the research results, and a longer-term human development plan can be drawn up.

Unexpectedly, this time the alliance headquarters not only had a positive reply, but also gave specific candidates.Two Swedish biologists, a British nuclear physicist and an Italian geneticist volunteered for the project.

What surprised Hong Tao even more was that it was not only good words but also practical actions.The two German pilots successfully copied their own flying methods in August, relying on only two navigation platforms to fly from northern Germany to southern Spain, and then flew non-stop to Iceland.

Speaking of which, European survivors have relatively strong advantages in high technology and hands-on ability. Many of them have several areas of expertise. Just recruiting pilots, they called out more than a dozen independent flying qualifications at one voice. After picking up, there are still four or five good ones left.

I don't know if they don't want Hong Tao to break the flight record again. These European pilots plan to take off directly from northern Germany, fly a military C130 transport plane, pass through Moscow to refuel, and then fly directly to Xishan Airport.

Whether it is recorded or not, Hong Tao very much hopes that everyone can fly a plane, so that he doesn't have to take risks by himself.To be honest, he really doesn't like flying airplanes, especially jets.That thing has to fall if it makes a mistake, and it doesn't even give it a chance to skydive.

In order to welcome guests from afar, Hong Tao spent several days at Xishan Airport, watching Li Xiang's mechanical and electrical department to further improve the landing lights and tower equipment, and had to send a car to transport aviation kerosene from Changxindian. C130 is a big guy, so it must be a lot of fuel.

On September 9, the weather was fine, and around 3:130 in the morning, nasally German English came from the control tower.The other party claimed to be Albert Schultz, and he and his co-pilots Ralph Seebeck, Markus Muller, and Mark Andre drove a C300 transport plane more than [-] kilometers away from the airport.

The trip went smoothly, except for a slight detour in the middle, and finally corrected the direction by relying on the Yellow River. There was not much trouble, and the weather was good. It is expected to be able to enter the venue in about 40 minutes.

This Schulz Hongtao is more familiar, he is the first German pilot to fly a plane from Germany to France after the outbreak of zombie disease.However, the two had only communicated in code over radio waves, and it was the first time they heard each other's voice.

Although he had never met him before, Hong Tao was very happy and immediately got busy. 15 minutes later, his Little Falcon 7X roared into the air, ready to fly with him on the route.

It's a pity that after turning around for several times, I couldn't find the transport plane, which should not be too small, but someone first discovered the little Falcon with the airborne radar.At this time, we have to talk about the difference between military aircraft radar and civilian aircraft radar. The former has the function of scanning air signals, while the latter can only scan clouds and nothing else.

But Hong Tao did not take off in vain. He could demonstrate the landing procedure for Schultz, so that the other party could understand the airport runway data more intuitively, which is better than nothing.

"This is a NATO military aircraft. Why don't they try to fly fighter jets and bombers to carry out carpet bombing on zombies!"

While waiting for the transport plane to land, Randy started talking strangely again. He had already recognized the identity of the C130 from the paint on the fuselage, and his face was full of envy and hatred.

"Isn't there no refueling sergeant as capable as you! They are all civil aviation pilots, and they have even only driven their own small propeller planes. It is not bad to be able to fly tens of thousands of kilometers at once."

"There are so many retired military pilots in your hometown, as well as the air force bases in this fort and that fort. How come you haven't seen a squadron of B2, who brought those blue devils who couldn't be killed to a single pot!"

Still have the face to call others stupid!There are also pilots among the American survivors, and it is said that they are still active in the Air Force. Unfortunately, when it comes to flying a bomber, the guy pushes back and forth, saying that there are no weapons technicians, and the lack of ground support. Anyway, he will not fly.

"You should go to my hometown. They like guys who dare to take risks and succeed. They might choose you as the first president of the federation!" Randy didn't show weakness either. No technology to speak of.

"...Damn it, can you teach Inoue standard pronunciation, who can understand his English! It's better not to command, the more control the more chaos!"

At this time, the C130 had circled more than half a circle, aligned itself with the runway, and was about to land. Immediately, the air controller Isamu Inoue's approach command came from the headset.This time it was Hong Tao's turn to complain. After finally finding an air traffic controller, he still spoke Japanese English.

No, it's not even Japanese English, it's Kobe area English.Good guy, a captain from the Black Forest region in southern Germany, and a native air traffic controller in the Kansai region of Japan, almost every sentence has to be repeated several times, the earphones are so lively.

"Learn, that's called landing. Your plane always falls on the runway!" Of course, Randy also knew that Isamu Inoue's English was not good, but there was only so much time, and everything had to be done one by one.In order for Hong Tao to quickly shut up his fault-finding and sloppy mouth, he had to resort to a big killer, the method of comparison.

In all fairness, the German captain's driving skills were indeed much more pleasing to the eye than Hong Tao's. The huge fuselage barely jumped on the runway, and entered the taxiing phase accompanied by two puffs of white smoke.

This is the difference in flying experience. He is a professional pilot at any rate, and his flying time is dozens or even hundreds of times that of Hong Tao.

Hong Tao is still at the stage of familiarization and exploration, and his level is very unstable. When taking off, he always feels that the rise is slow, and he can't wait to pull up immediately and get out of the most dangerous stage.It was the same when landing. I always felt that the runway was a bit short, and I tried desperately to slow down, but when I stopped, I saw that half of the runway ahead was useless.

"Aircraft carrier... Please remember, I am a Navy heritage, and I have also set a record for solo jet flying. When will it be the turn of the ground crew to evaluate the pilot! Drive, please regulate your words and deeds, and don't embarrass the alliance in front of the guests! "

It's a pity that the validity period of this big killer is too short, and Hong Tao is already immune.Not only did he not admit that his skills were bad, he also threatened Randy not to mention this matter in front of the guests, and rose to the height of the alliance's diplomatic dignity.Your criticism of me is to discredit the alliance and the hard work of all alliance members!

"...you are becoming more and more like a politician!" Randy started the car and chased after the transport plane that was still sliding slowly, with a helpless expression on his face.He doesn't like the current Hong Tao very much, but many things can't be changed, and he can't even persuade him.

"Isn't this the result you want to see? Before I kept my word, you said I was a barbaric poisonous vegetable. Now that I have embarked on the road of politics, the council has begun to play a role, but you say that I have become the one you don't like." The person I like. Randy, you have to be kind, you can't be so messy."

This sentence can be said to Hong Tao's heart, not to mention Randy, he doesn't like himself very much.But the reality is so cruel. Once a person gains power and sits in a position, he can't do whatever he wants. No matter whether it is good or bad, he must consider the overall situation.

"Then I will vote for someone else in next year's election..." Randy immediately became bored. That's right, when the rescue team only had a dozen people, he discussed the future with Hong Tao when he was free.Now the future has become a reality, and the appearance is similar to the original design, but why are you dissatisfied?

Chapter 369 Intercontinental Express 2

"Hey, don't talk nonsense after this. It's not that I don't like to hear it, it's that many people don't like to hear it. I can step down but they can't. The set of things you advocate is a complex of interests. Who hinders everyone's interests? Whoever is in trouble will be unlucky, and I will not be able to save you at that time. It is still the same sentence, people change after power is in hand, and it is difficult to take it away."

In order to pick up the guests, Hong Tao drove the anti-riot bus over. Considering that there were several experts inside, he might not have much to talk to, so he brought Fan Chunling, Wang Heping, and Wang Jianzhong with him.They are sitting in the carriage at this time, and some topics are best not to talk nonsense.As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention and the listener has intention, so it is not good to spread it.

"Oh... I understand, Minister Lin is the first one to spare me! It's hard to imagine that you have trained her to be the head of a female spy, and she is still so dedicated..."

Now Randy is no longer a Chinese hand who is less than half a bottle bang, he is really good. Thinking about the distribution of power in the revival alliance, you know that Hong Tao is not just talking.

Especially Lin Na, who has a big belly and works hard all day. This gentle-looking woman is really suitable for intelligence work. Don't be an intelligence officer. It turns out that most of the women in the rescue team are her volunteer agents. .

Chatting around every day, it seems to be gossip, but in fact it is all dry goods. Even Chu Qiu secretly took eggs from the chicken farm, which day he took, and how many eggs he took. One can imagine the situation of others.

If I wanted to vote against Hong Tao, she would be the first one who refused, and Chu Ting was her staunch supporter, so I could easily figure out how miserable my ending would be with my toes.

Good buddy Jiao Qiao?I can't really count on it, that guy is a son slave, he can say anything else, but when it comes to son and his mother, friendship, righteousness, and justice are all floating clouds.

"Stop, I have to correct your two slips of the tongue! First, Minister Lin was not trained by me, and we only met her for half a month. Second, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not a secret service agency, but a disciplinary department. It is It is used to protect the legitimate rights and interests of everyone in the alliance, and is an aboveboard, reasonable and legal, indispensable and important component.”

Hong Tao had to interrupt Randy's nonsense again. Hearing the words "secret chief", Fan Chunling and Wang Jianzhong could be seen frowning from the reflection of the windshield.

I must immediately clean up for Lin Na and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although these are all scientific researchers, they occupy two seats on the council, which means two votes.Although the council has not yet fully checked and balanced its own ability, it is best to avoid things that come out of the mouth, why bother to make trouble just because of a few words.

"Well, what Captain Hong said is reasonable. We can't engage in the secret police... If you want me to say, it's better to change the name to the police station. The people's police will be safe. The Ministry of Internal Affairs sounds like the Soviet revisionist police. It's no wonder that Minister Lan misunderstood something."

It's a pity that it's still too late. Fan Chunling has already started to think about the name issue, and if it's not complete, she will have to bring it up at the council someday.Once it is approved, it has to be placed in front of oneself, whether it is approved or not is troublesome.

"Hey, look, they have a girl here too. Now you are not alone in the base, teach her to play table tennis, and don't do square dancing anymore."

So I can't answer this question even if I die. It happened that the transport plane came to a complete stop, and one of the people walking down the gangway was an eight-foot-tall female man with flying white hair.Most of the women with this figure and hair color are from Northern Europe, and they should be one of the two Swedish biologists.

"Hahaha, it was Little Japan who told you again, right? They are rare and weird, what's wrong with dancing! Let me tell you, when you get older, you need to exercise more, especially your legs and feet. Old people get old first!" On this topic, Fan Chunling immediately put the matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the police station behind her, and began to chat with Hong Tao about health preservation.

This little old lady has a weird temper. Others are planting a la carte garden, or they are fishing, and the next trap is to catch wild animals to improve food.She doesn't like these things, she especially likes to play table tennis, and dances square dances in the base without anyone to accompany her, and she also dances alone.

"Yes, it's definitely right to be more active. Life lies in exercise. But Wang Gong, I have to criticize you a few words. Don't climb the mountain alone. Even if there are no zombies, if you don't step on it, you will definitely not be able to fall."

"You can't compare with young people. They are full of food. You are a precious resource for the collective. If you want to find someone to replace you, you can't find it. If you want me to say that you can fish, it won't be good Do it, let me teach you! And I have a secret recipe, I promise to catch more than them."

In order to avoid trouble, Hong Tao can chat with anyone, and when he is in a hurry, he can coax the kindergarten children to scribble on the ground together.But this matter is really not a small talk. Wang Heping likes hiking and mountain climbing, and always climbs to the top of the mountain above the base.Although the mountain is not high, it is quite steep. He is in his 60s and it is too dangerous.

"Pull it down, I can't bear that crime, my blood pressure will go up if I don't fish for half a minute. But you are right, next time I climb the mountain, I will take them with me, if I don't go If you don't see a doctor, I'll see who doesn't give face!"

Although he is a person who spends all day in the laboratory doing research, Wang Heping's temper is not stable at all, he is more aggressive than young people, and slightly stronger than Sun Jianshe.I don't like activities that can't be seen immediately, such as fishing and planting flowers, and I don't like pretentious dancing.

However, he is also a warm-hearted person. The alliance's hospital is still at the Ditan base, and the people in the Huairou base have minor ailments such as headaches and brain fever.Although he is not a professional doctor, he also knows a lot of medical technology. If he can be cured, don't run to the city. It's strange.

Talking and laughing, the car quickly caught up with the transport plane, and the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were considered to be over.But the mouth can’t be idle, as the host has to express a warm welcome to the guests from afar, exchange English for German, German for Italian, hug and shake hands one by one, let’s just listen to what you say.

A total of 130 people got off the C9, four of them were crew members from Germany, the Netherlands and Poland.Among them are civil aviation pilots, forest policemen, firefighters, and flying enthusiasts. Anyway, each of them has a longer flying time than Hong Tao.

The remaining five are all scientists, a man and a woman, two big men are Swedish biologists and employees of the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca. They all come from one place, the School of Pharmacy of Uppsala University.

This university may not be well-known in China, but it has a long history. Founded in the 15th century, it is one of the top universities in Sweden and has produced more than 10 Nobel Prize winners.Alfred Nobel once taught here.

The short, bald man was a professor of genetics at the Federico II University of Naples, Italy, and was also employed by the pharmaceutical company Hoffmey Roche in Switzerland.

A middle-aged white man who looks very similar to Welsh football player Giggs, his every move is slightly different from other people, it can be said to be dull, or it can be said to be rules.No need to ask, this must be a nuclear physicist from the UK.

But it didn't match the number of people reported before coming. There was an extra thin, bald man wearing glasses, speaking English that was extremely difficult for everyone to listen to.It took several minutes to introduce each other to understand that he was an accident, a Russian volunteer who boarded a plane from Moscow temporarily.

So what is he doing?There are many titles.First of all, this person's job is to teach astrometry and astrophysics at St. Petersburg State University.At the same time, he is also a science fiction writer. He has written two science fiction novels and is well-known in Russia.

It's not over yet, he is still a registered astronaut of the Russian Federation, a professional, if there is no zombie disease, he will be able to work in the space station one day.

"You are very welcome to join, Mr. Alexei!" Normally, Hong Tao would 100% suspect that this guy still has an identity, a field worker of the Russian Intelligence Agency.

They all receive compulsory education, so why do they know so many skills, and they have played each of them to the top professional level.So let's put it this way, Jiao San's claim that he is a spy is not out of nowhere. It's not normal not to have some doubts when meeting this kind of person who knows everything.

Chapter 370

"IQ zombie?" But Alexey's emotional intelligence is not good, and he hastily asked about the work situation before the process of greeting each other was over.The name they used was very special. Hong Tao and Randy didn't understand it at first, but Wang Jianzhong guessed it, a zombie with an IQ!

Since people asked Hong Tao, he couldn't help but answer. After a few words, the other four scientists also joined in. The more they discussed, the more professional they became. The four pilots were all thrown aside and ignored.

"That's it, Minister Fan, take them to the laboratory first, and Minister Lan and I will accompany the pilots back to the base."

Hong Tao saw that it was not possible, so let's treat them differently.This group of scientific researchers who left their hometowns definitely did not come to drink and chat, and what attracted them was not the Revival Alliance or themselves, but Jiao Si.

"Who the hell is this... I don't want to come out, what's the matter, I will call as soon as I come out!" Just after arranging a few experts, I was about to have a good chat with the pilots about the driving experience, and I also went to the C130 to have a look. The walkie-talkie on his waist beeped.

But it’s not enough if you don’t answer it. This channel is usually strictly forbidden for anyone to use, and there is no preset in the walkie-talkies of ordinary members. Only the heads of various departments and executive directors need it.

"...I see, I'll go back right away! You tell the leaders of all departments to come back as soon as possible, an emergency meeting!" Since the call was connected, Hong Tao's expression became worse and worse, and his smile disappeared after listening for more than a minute.

"I'm very sorry, our ally base has been attacked by a large number of zombies. The situation is very urgent and we must return to the base as soon as possible." After the call, Hong Tao turned his head to greet the four pilots first, and then made a gesture of please. When the other party reacted, he quickly walked towards the anti-riot bus.

"Mr. Chairman, we are very willing to provide necessary help, such as using it to pick up people... IMHO, this has happened more than once in Europe, and the chances of keeping the base are very small."

"Last week, a group of more than 200 survivors in the eastern United States just encountered the same situation. Even if they had a military base, they lost contact after only defending it for more than 6 hours."

However, the four European pilots did not follow Hong Tao into the car. Schultz simply ran two steps and blocked in front of the car door, talking and making gestures, trying to make Hong Tao understand the seriousness of the situation with his experience.

"...Why didn't I receive a report?" Was there a large-scale zombie attack in the eastern United States last week?Hong Tao thought about it carefully, but he hadn't heard of it.

"When we came out, Chairman Flo was still waiting for their news... He probably wanted to figure out the details before making an accurate warning." Schultz stroked his yellow beard and gave a more reasonable explanation.

"The military base can't stop those monsters? Have they evolved to be invulnerable!" Now Hong Tao really can't ignore it. If the American survivors can't stop the zombie attack with a military base, then there is only one possibility, and that is the zombies Evolved again.

"Uh... I just heard from Mr. Flo's secretary that there are more blue devils in the United States, and there should be zombie leaders. The situation was relatively optimistic before entering the night, but the communication was suddenly cut off two hours later. "

"The staff at the headquarters think that the zombies are likely to launch a large-scale attack at night. The night does not hinder them in any way, but it has a great impact on people. Without strict night combat training, more than 200 people want to resist several The attack of ten thousand zombies is very difficult, even if it is an armored unit, the ammunition will run out."

In the face of Hong Tao's inquiry, Schultz could not give a definite answer.However, it seems that his position in the alliance headquarters is not low, and he can talk to the secretary of the chairman in detail, and he knows the situation quite comprehensively.

"Well, I will consider it comprehensively. If you are willing, I would like to invite you to attend our meeting!" Hong Tao nodded emphatically, indicating that he really listened and thought carefully.In a gesture of sincerity, an invitation was also extended.

"Of course, my health is fine, but I need to ask Mr. Randy to help me translate..." Schultz is more used to this kind of one-on-one communication, so he patted Randy on the shoulder without even asking about his position. I started looking for a translator.

It was really not a false alarm. When the group returned to the Ditan base, they saw Jiao Qiao walking back and forth smoking a cigarette as soon as the car entered the parking lot.Don't ask, I must be waiting for you according to Lin Na's advice.Not only was he there, but most of the department heads and executive directors were already in place, waiting for him to preside over the meeting.

"The situation is basically so much, let's talk about it, what should we do!" In fact, Hong Tao didn't even know what happened, and couldn't host anything, so he sat down and spent more than ten minutes to roughly read the communication records , Only then did I have a point in my heart.

About when Schultz and the others landed, a distress call was suddenly received on the public frequency of the radio station, and the source was the survivor group in Jinan.They said that they were besieged by a large number of zombies. How much is the large number? It seems that they have lost count.

These zombies didn't come together either. In fact, since the night before, this group has found scattered survivors in the jurisdiction one after another.After questioning, I found out that they all escaped from the east and south.

There is only one reason why they escaped. The local zombies suddenly went crazy, not only gathering in large numbers, but also organizing attacks on survivors.Seeing that the situation was not good, some survivors began to flee.In fact, they didn't know where to go. It was found that these people thought that there were many people in big cities and wanted to try their luck.

To ask them why they didn't use the radio before... nothing else, they just don't know how to use it, or don't think of it at all.These groups of survivors are relatively small, some may be neighbors, neighbors, and some may be from the same village or fellow villager, gathered together in groups of three or four.

As long as you get through the initial stage and accept the reality psychologically, survival is not too difficult.A few middle-aged people have tools, so they can fight alone, but it is relatively easy to fight lone zombies in groups.

In this way, some survivors are unwilling to run around, guarding the door to have food and drink, those who can breed and cultivate will continue to work, and those who cannot collect more resources.It's not that I don't want to find an organization, because I don't have any sources of information, and I can't run around like headless chickens.

Calculated in this way, the actual number of survivors should be higher than the ratio calculated by Liu Quanyou and the others. It's just that I can't find them normally, and I don't have the energy to look for them. As a result, it turned out that this time, they were all swept out by the zombies.

The sad thing is that there are probably not even one-third of those who can really escape from the zombie siege and choose the right direction and destination.Many people were surrounded by zombies as soon as they hesitated, and some people may think that there are more zombies in big cities, and they are willing to go to the desolate places in the ravines.

I thought that finding the organization was a blessing in disguise, but it was not the case. This was the beginning of the tragedy.As more and more survivors ran over, the leader of the group also changed from being secretly happy at the beginning to feeling anxious.

By asking the survivors, even the stupidest people can feel that the zombie riot is not just a place, but an area.They are advancing inland from the south and east a little bit, and they are very fast, approaching Jinan step by step from two aspects.

Escape, or stay?At this time, it is up to the leader of the local survivor group to decide, and there is not much time left for him.

Speaking of this leader, he is quite famous in the circle of domestic survivors.He claimed to be surnamed Zhao, and he was an active-duty military officer. The unit he belonged to was unknown, and his name was unknown. Everyone called him the Zhao family.

The survivor group of the Zhao family was established very early, and they were among the first to join the channel.The management is also very impressive. The X group was established early on, and the X members in other groups in the country were also vigorously called on to take action... Anyway, the thinking is relatively pure and populist.

It's a pity that everyone was trying to survive at that time. Who had the time to listen to his blank teeth? On the contrary, Hong Tao had been providing information on various zombies, methods of dealing with zombies, and ways of survival through the radio. The title of district chairman is getting more and more recognition.

He also discussed with Hong Tao many times about setting up a team, and suggested that the rescue team at that time should take the lead to set an example.Hong Tao listened very carefully and communicated patiently, but he just didn't do it, and he didn't mention a single word in public. Slowly, he understood Hong Tao's tendency.

Chapter 371 Can I save you?

But since then, Hong Tao's various suggestions in the alliance will be opposed by this group, and he will always say something if you say something.Hong Tao called on the groups near the nuclear power plants in the coastal areas to move to the inland. He said it was alarmist talk, and he used intimidation to take the opportunity to annex others, engage in hilltopism, and engage in warlord separatism.

Does this work?It's really useful. Hong Tao's father said back then that destroying something is much easier than building it.No matter how detailed the information Hong Tao collected is, after all, he does not have strong credibility, and he can always find uncertainties in it. After being magnified, it becomes a weakness.

In popular terms, this principle is that the more you do, the more mistakes you make. If you don’t do anything, and just pick faults on one side, it will appear to be very correct and flawless.

It was because of his influence that some of the survivor groups in the coastal areas did not move to the inland, and so far no major incidents have occurred, and then it became his argument to prove Hong Tao's wrong judgment.He also vaguely became a representative of a force in the domestic survivor group, which really added a lot of trouble to Hong Tao's plan.

Of course, Hong Tao didn't pay too much attention to this matter. In terms of the power of the shit-stirring stick, he himself is much stronger than the Zhao family, and he just ran into his colleagues.These difficulties had been anticipated when he accepted the chairmanship of the Asian region of the alliance, and in fact they were much less than expected.

The reason why he is willing to take the risk of being scolded and blamed to guide the survivors how to survive is not to accumulate political prestige for himself, so he is not afraid of being splashed with dirty water.
