Chapter 7, The Disadvantages of Zombies
Nicole nodded, already beginning to believe Ye Zhiqiu's analysis in her heart: "If the heart rate increases, it should be accompanied by other symptoms"
Nicole shook her head: "Sunscreen can only be effective against specific wavelengths of ultraviolet light, and we still cannot determine which wavelength of sunlight is responsible for this."
Nicole took the alcohol, washed her hands, and although she had entered late, there was not a single trace of blood on her body except for the soles of her shoes. However, out of habit as a doctor, she still washed her hands first and then said, "Are these two guns the same?"
Even though Ye Zhiqiu was bold, he was still taken aback by this sudden change. Looking at the corpse that was rapidly becoming a bloody mess, he truly did not know what to do.
"These are all mass-produced items, not works of art, so they are naturally quite similar." Jill glanced at her, pointing to the M1911 on her right and said, "This one is mine; I scratched the grip." She indicated another gun, "This one should belong to the convenience store owner; he might be one of those four zombies. We first looted his store, then killed him and took his gun."
If I am not mistaken," Ye Zhiqiu continued, "their cardiac function has not significantly improved; what has increased is merely the heart rate associated with the - diagram - book, which is why their blood pressure is higher than that of humans. When arteries rupture, they will rapidly lose blood under high pressure.
Nicole seemed to understand some of the meanings in Ye Zhiqiu's words, but she was vaguely unable to grasp them fully, so she could only wait for Ye Zhiqiu to provide an explanation
May God bless you. Nicole quickly left, saying, "You make me feel like a ruthless criminal."
Jill glanced at her and said, "That is where they store their food. The bodies of the two zombies he killed yesterday are also inside... or rather, two and a half of them."
Stepping out of the house, the feeling of being bathed in sunlight again was truly wonderful. Ye Zhiqiu threw the corpse in his hands onto the ground and was just about to find some water to wash off the blood splattered on him when he heard the exclamations of Jill and Nicole behind him.
Ye Zhiqiu was startled, thinking something had happened again. She hurriedly turned around and saw two women pointing at the corpse on the ground. Following their fingers, Ye Zhiqiu noticed that the exposed parts of the zombie's body were rapidly turning red under the sunlight, and then blisters began to form. The already hideous appearance became even more terrifying, and it looked extremely disgusting.
Nicole had a sudden flash of inspiration and blurted out: "What is the blood flow rate?"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded in agreement: "If Europe still exists." (According to the Nobel Foundation in Sweden)
Jill interjected at this point, saying: "Can you hear their breathing?"
Jill shook her head and said, "It is a pity that you are not pursuing a career as a musician"
How would I know?" Jill reloaded the bullets into the magazines, handing the one filled with bullets to Nicole: "This one is for you, use it carefully." Then she asked, "Why didn't you keep an eye on him?"
"We now live in a world devoid of justice and the rule of law," Jill said nonchalantly, as she pulled back the slide of her gun and began cleaning the components with a tissue. "Besides, they can now be considered human; but why did it pick up my gun? Because it looked familiar?"
Ye Zhiqiu tilted her head slightly and said, "My hearing is quite good"
Speaking of this, both individuals fell silent. After a while, Nicole finally said: "Where has he gone? I am not referring to your father!"
For example, if the breathing becomes coarse? Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said: This is a good way to discover them at close range
Having said that, he pulled out two handguns from his clothing and threw them to Jill: "Found these inside https://m.hetushu.com.com."
Indeed," Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "I think so too. Their cardiac function has significantly improved, and the volume of blood flowing through the heart in a given time has increased.
Nicole carefully poked the zombie's skin with a knife, accidentally tearing off a large chunk of flesh, which nearly made Jill vomit again. Nicole shook her head and said, "I have never seen such a strong reaction to sunburn. If it were still alive, it would die immediately from respiratory failure, even if it didn't die from the pain."
Upon mentioning this, Jill immediately became cautious. She glanced around to ensure that Ye Zhiqiu was not eavesdropping from any corner before quietly asking, "What do you think he used to do?"
Gil is more interested in this consequence: "What would happen if it were still alive?"
"Like Beethoven?" Ye Zhiqiu laughed, "Beethoven in his later years was not so great; he could hardly hear anything at all"
Jill Huah raised the gun's action, gestured with her hand, and expressed satisfaction with her skills. She then replied: "It has been six months since anyone has paid me. Right now, I most want to return to Los Angeles to see my father"
Ye Zhiqiu was taken aback by Nicole's appearance and nodded, saying: "Alright, let's be optimistic. I hope we can find a 24-hour hot water inn in this town, preferably with a comfortable large bed."
"How could you say that? You are a police officer." Nicole did not hear what she said afterwards and reminded her.
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "I thought they simply disliked sunlight, but I didn't expect them to be allergic to it."
Jill had already received it in her hand, and upon hearing Ye Zhiqiu's words, she casually threw it on the ground again. Nicole looked at her with curiosity and asked, "What happened?"
As a surgeon, Nicole's performance improved significantly at that moment. She slowly crouched down and observed carefully, remarking curiously, "Severe sunburn." The three of them were taken aback, and after a while, Jill finally said leisurely, "It seems they need to prepare some sunscreen."
The environment in the corridor is hardly good, and Nicole has nothing to see. She turns to Ye Zhiqiu and asks, "It’s hard to see here, could you help me carry a body outside?"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said: "You have noticed as well, their muscles are not well-developed. Clearly, whatever their bodies were like when they were alive, there has been no improvement after becoming zombies. Therefore, if they wish to increase their strength and speed, there is only one possibility"
"So they are social animals and have a habit of storing food?" Nicole seemed somewhat lost in thought
After saying this, she raised her head from the book and saw that Ye Zhiqiu and Jill were both looking at her. She shrugged and said, "If all zombies had this characteristic, that would be great"
Nicole scratched her head: "This mechanism sounds very familiar"
"Come on." Jill retrieved a bottle of vodka and a large bottle of medical alcohol from the car, both of which had once belonged to the convenience store. She took a sip of the liquor, though she almost immediately vomited it out. Nevertheless, the strong alcohol invigorated her somewhat, and she felt much better physically. Thus, she began to clean the handgun with the alcohol.
Ye Zhiqiu had long wanted to go out. He glanced back at Jill, and seeing that Jill was indifferent, he put away the knife, chose a relatively intact body, which was the one he had twisted the neck of, and dragged it out.
Nicole shook her head: "He is not my husband, how can I keep an eye on him?"
Indeed. Jill murmured, "We have them by the throat; I truly believe you should apply for the Nobel Prize in Medicine"
Nicole discarded the knife in her hand, stood up, and said to Ye Zhiqiu: "You should take a shower as soon as possible; their blood has a strong infectious nature. Although our skin provides some protection, no one can be certain of its effectiveness. Furthermore..." She said earnestly: "Since God has allowed us to discover their weaknesses, we should not be pessimistic"
