Chapter 398 These aren't employees! They're zombies!
On the helicopter.
Lin Yuan was still thinking about what happened in Pingdu, and said with a wry smile, "I went to Alaska, but I didn't expect so many things to happen one after another after I came back. How is the situation in China now? Has anyone been following the news?"
"Yes, Liu Yun and I discuss these issues almost every spare moment."
Liu Qingxue said, "Currently, there are indeed quite a few survivor bases of all sizes that have been established, but some of them have been razed to the ground by zombies after they were built. The number of zombies in China... no, it should be said that the number of zombies in the world is still terrifying. This should be related to our previous discovery that zombies can reproduce, so there was a clear trend of control before, but recently it has broken out again."
"Are there even more?" Lin Yuan asked.
"And another thing," Liu Yun said, frowning, "based on some domestic and international intelligence I've gathered, many bases were suddenly attacked by zombies."
"Zombies? A surprise attack?" Lin Yuan was also somewhat surprised.
The words "zombie" and "surprise attack" are too difficult to connect.
Because of the current situation, the large-scale zombie horde did not initially erupt in the city, but is led by intelligent zombies. Even under the command of intelligent zombies, it takes time for the zombies to hide and gather, so launching a surprise attack is no easy task.
"How often is this the case?" Lin Yuan asked.
“Many.” Liu Yun took out a notebook, opened it, and pulled up a spreadsheet, saying, “In this week, 13 survivor bases in the Lighthouse Country were destroyed, 7 in the Dragon Country, 7 in the White Bear Country, and 2 in the Cherry Blossom Country…”
"Moreover, the frequency of evolved zombies appearing is increasing."
Almost every country is experiencing this situation.
Lin Yuan nodded in understanding and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it's similar to the situation we encountered today."
Song Yufei asked in confusion, "We only encountered a few lone zombies today!"
“The situation is different,” Lin Yuan said. “Most of the zombies in Pingdu were probably eaten by the zombies in suits. This is not their home ground.”
"In short, we've moved from a stage where intelligent zombies led the hordes to a stage where zombies now exhibit clear hierarchical, class-based, and team-oriented behaviors."
"Therefore, the zombie kings born from them are like legion commanders, controlling other zombies through the core high-ranking zombies, and using various superpowers to enable the zombies to fight like humans."
"This is not just about using firearms; there is likely a more detailed tactical arrangement, with coordinated actions, and perhaps even a reward and punishment mechanism."
"Of course, these are all my guesses, but today that mechanical female zombie even brought out a pulse energy cannon. I think it's not an exaggeration."
Lin Yuan shrugged.
"Could that mechanical female zombie be a human creation? Or... Green Tree?" Liu Yun asked.
"That's hard to say." Lin Yuan shook his head, but he still felt that the evolution of zombies in terms of intelligence had some similar limitations!
While everyone was discussing this topic.
Jiang Qian suddenly screamed.
"Fuck!"
Everyone was startled by Jiang Qian's reaction and couldn't help but look over.
"What's going on?" Song Yufei asked, amused. "Xiao Qian, is that what you think?!"
"What the hell."
Jiang Qian tapped a key on the keyboard, and her laptop switched to a different screen.
Everyone stared in surprise at what was on the screen!
Actually, if you don't look closely, it's not too bad, because the picture is just a scene in a farm where some employees are raising pigs, cattle, sheep and various wild animals.
These employees in blue uniforms put some hay and feed in the troughs and let the animals graze on them without sorting them.
Then Jiang Qian switched the scene again.
Outside the factory, small trucks would occasionally drive in, and employees dressed in blue clothes and uniform hats would jump out of them from time to time.
Lin Yuan also perked up and asked, "Are there more scenes?"
"Gone!"
Jiang Qian said, "These two pieces of equipment in the factory happened to still have power and weren't damaged, so I was able to hack into them. The entire factory is without power."
“That’s true. Zombies can see at night, so they don’t need electricity or lighting,” Lin Yuan said.
That's right.
These employees, dressed in work clothes and working diligently at the farm, all looked normal at first glance. However, upon closer inspection, one would find that their movements were stiff and slow, their actions mechanical, and the skin occasionally exposed under their work clothes was all rotting. Some of their work clothes were even soaked in corpse fluid.
This is hardly an employee!
These are zombies!
What surprised Lin Yuan and the others so much was that these zombies didn't go outside to eat the survivors, but instead raised animals here. Were they preparing to be self-sufficient?
"Holy crap! Are zombies also pursuing pastoral idylls?" Song Yufei exclaimed in shock. "What kind of evolutionary direction is this?!"
To be honest, Lin Yuan was also speechless.
"Coordinates?" Lin Yuan asked.
“The eastern part of the city is under lockdown, which is in the suburbs!” Jiang Qian said. “I will send drones and robotic dogs there immediately.”
"Wait, no need," Lin Yuan said. "The other side has obviously established its own system and must have intelligent zombies. You don't need to send your stuff there. I'll send the working class over."
“Oh…then I’ll let them wander around somewhere else,” Jiang Qian said.
"No need. Take them all back. Don't alert them," Lin Yuan said. "This city lockdown might be quite interesting. No rush. I'll just send some more small trinkets over."
Jiang Qian nodded. "That's fine too."
Two hours later.
As they finally arrived at the airport under lockdown, a large swarm of flies and mosquitoes that Lin Yuan had sent with his bird also arrived at that strange place called 'Happy Farm'.
However, for the time being, Lin Yuan simply had the working class disperse to investigate intelligence.
……
The airport was deserted during the lockdown, and there were only a dozen or so zombies, which were easily dealt with.
Qin Huan has brought over some aviation experts and professors, as well as some students with practical experience, from among the survivors.
The bald, middle-aged man said, "Mr. Lin, I have already heard Qin Huan tell you your purpose. However, it is not enough for us to operate alone. The determination of the flight route and the operation of the entire system are integrated, so Linhai City also needs to coordinate with us."
Lin Yuan looked at Qin Huan.
Qin Huan said, "Although none of my college classmates are in a related field, they should be able to handle it."
“That should be enough.” Lin Yuan nodded and said to Qin Huan, “Contact Tiger directly and have him send some relevant personnel and pilots over to establish communication with this side.”
"Yes!"
"Sister Yun, Sister Qingxue, keep an eye on things. Xiaoqian, go help out too. There's probably some network-related work that needs to be cracked," Lin Yuan instructed.
"Fine, fine! You're just going to be a hands-off manager anyway." Jiang Qian stuck out her tongue.
Lin Yuan ignored him, boarded the armed helicopter alone, and closed his eyes after entering the airport.
