This Wave of Zombies is No Good - Chapter 17

Since the outbreak began five months ago, various response plans have emerged, and isolation and cleanup of the epidemic areas have been ongoing.

To date, five major epidemic-stricken areas have been identified. Three of them have been designated as quarantine zones, with eight additional resettlement sites.

The most recent group found were the last batch of ordinary civilians searched for in the quarantine zones.

From today, the government would cease all rescue and search operations for the epidemic areas, but would still set up observation points outside each quarantine zone.

The so-called observation points were towers set up outside the quarantine zones, each tower was more than twenty meters high, ensuring the safety of the observers.

If civilians escape from the quarantine zone, they could be quarantined for 24 hours in the isolation house at the observation point. If it was confirmed that they were not infected, they would be taken to the resettlement area.

As for the resettlement area, it also had strict protection. The city was divided into different areas of five hundred square meters, with barriers and gates set up between areas, and dedicated personnel responsible for safety within each area. If an epidemic broke out in the resettlement area, an alarm would be sounded immediately, then the resettlement area would be sealed off, zombies would be killed, and after the quarantine period, it would be reopened to ensure absolute safety.

In response to the zombie plague, new household registration and management systems have been introduced.

Research on the zombie virus, the process of zombification, and vaccines have been put on the agenda and a large amount of manpower and resources have been invested. The project leader was recently selected as Fang Yazhou. The country had implemented an emergency plan, pulling out the teeth of zombies in special research places for isolation research.

The more they understood about the unknown, the safer the future would be.

In response to the current situation, new development goals and slogans have also emerged–revitalization.

This was an era of human rebirth in blood.

This was the best of times, and it was the worst of times.

As soon as his health improved slightly, Yu Jingtang received this information, everything seemed to be in ruins waiting to be revived, developing in a good direction.

On the tenth day, early in the morning, Fang Yazhou appeared in the ICU for rounds. By now, Yu Jingtang was able to stand on his own and insisted on walking a short distance. Fang Yazhou also encouraged him to walk more, saying it would help his wounds recover.

After the routine check-up, Fang Yazhou closed the record book and said, “This is my last visit to you in the near future. After this, I will be leading the research on the zombie vaccine, and you will be transferred to a general ward soon, so there are many things you need to pay attention to.”

Yu Jingtang nodded.

“By the way, during this surgery, I removed some small shrapnel from your body. It seems to have been there for a while, but the damage to the organs from those shrapnel is irreversible. Considering this and your recent injury, I suggest that you refrain from participating in actions and strenuous activities for three months. Within half a year, the wound should not be hit hard again. You should pay attention to your diet and try to eat less cold food. I will prescribe some painkillers for you, but you should try to take as little as possible if you can bear it. I don’t want the patient I worked hard to save to die young for other reasons. Later, when there’s a chance, I will arrange a follow-up visit for you.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” Fang Yazhou gently pushed his glasses, “I also performed the surgery on you according to the military’s arrangement.”

After saying this, he nodded to the nurse on the side. The nurse understood and left. Two people dressed as doctors came in. But from the way they walked, it could be seen that these were military personnel.

After they entered, they showed their credentials to Yu Jingtang. These two people were directly under X, X was a military force within the military inspection, responsible for handling various military issues. They were not high-ranking, but they could directly issue orders, could report directly to the military commander, and could meet the head of state when necessary.

These two people and Dr. Fang sat opposite Yu Jingtang, “Now, we want to talk to you about the details of this mission in City C, as well as the zombie problem. This conversation is absolutely confidential. Only the three of us know.”

Yu Jingtang had known that this day would come sooner or later. He briefly described the rescue operation in City C.

Then he marked the specific locations of several battles on the electronic map.

Fang Yazhou seemed very interested in the few mutated zombies, and asked him many details.

Such as the height of the zombies, their appearance, the direction and function of their evolution, the sound of their roar. He even hoped that Yu Jingtang could describe in detail the various details and situations during the battle.

The people from X were more concerned about the overall direction of this mission, such as the person who assigned the mission, all the details of the handover of the mission, the people who knew about the mission, etc.

After regaining consciousness, Yu Jingtang had once asked Zou Lang to hand over the nameplates found in the tunnel to the military. When the questioning was over, he asked them, “I would like to ask, do you know which army those soldiers belong to?”

“We have checked the nameplates you submitted. But those people are not part of the domestic military establishment. They may be a mercenary or an army of an anarchist organization.”

“Why did they blow up the tunnel in City C? Is the bridge in City C their doing?” Yu Jingtang wanted to understand this.

The other party gave him a grandiose answer, “The matter is still under further investigation, but we are sorry, we have no comment on this. At the same time, we also hope that you can keep it secret. Afterward, the details of this mission will be classified as top secret and should not be discussed with others.”
