Nuke Miko: Chronicles of America

But no matter how much he complained secretly in his heart, out of a basic sense of responsibility, he still had to investigate the situation as clearly as possible.

"...Yes, we shot the heads of the remaining seven zombies with pistols, and only the last one was caught with a rope net gun."

A fat security guard at the University of Southern California Hospital rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "...After all, this is the first time we have fought against zombies. We really don't have much experience and are not mentally prepared. We will definitely improve next time..."

"...God! Do you want another time? This time alone, people have been scared to death. Well, there are more people who have been trampled to death."

Doctor Strange, who was on the verge of mental breakdown, reprimanded mercilessly, "...you must not say that in front of others, lest it affect the image of the hospital!"

"...I'm afraid now is not the time to consider any image, Doctor Strange."

The old police officer said, "... Regarding the reason why these people suddenly got out of the body bags and turned into zombies, did your hospital find out anything? For example... the same [T virus] as in the game? Or something Traces of black magic?"

"... so far we only know that these people have one thing in common, they all died from the same mutated strain of COVID-19."

Strange replied, "...This is a new virus strain that was only discovered in Los Angeles earlier this month. I can bring you a detailed report later..."

In fact, apart from this, the above-mentioned "zombies" have one thing in common, that is, these guys who got out of the body bags tonight are all black men, not a single white, Hispanic or Asian, of course And none of them are women...

But if this kind of politics is not correct, it's better not to say it in public. Director Strange is very clear about this taboo.

Anyway, the admission photos of these "zombies" were all spread out in front of everyone. The above characteristics can be seen at a glance, and no introduction is needed at all.

Chapter 49, Zombie Night Walk

"...Well, this [zombie] still has a heartbeat and breathing? It doesn't look like a corpse summoned by a necromancer!"

In the anatomy room of the USC Hospital, after the initial panic, the old police officer who came to the police and his young partner gradually calmed down, watching the USC doctors and A few professors and lecturers who came over overnight conducted research on [zombies].

"...Of course he has a heartbeat and breathing. This is either anesthetic abuse or an unknown disease, not some black magic that resurrects the dead!"

A gray-haired old professor glanced at the police officer with disdain, said so, and then looked down at the rows of data on the screen again.

On the other side, in another operating room not far away, two enthusiastic surgeons were fully armed, dissecting a headshot "zombie", skillfully dismantling organs and tissue samples one by one. Solve it.

At the same time, there are more doctors, professors, graduate students, etc., who came to get the news one after another, wanting to participate in this matter.

——In the medical circle, an influential special case often represents great value, which includes rich research results, continuous social attention, and large wealth returns:

Haven’t seen that since the outbreak of COVID-19, those infectious disease doctors who originally lacked a sense of presence have become so popular?

The force and influence are both UPUP!

Right now, we have encountered "zombies" cases with their own explosive topicality and news enthusiasm, and they are even more popular among medical professionals who are keen on fame and fortune.

As for the horror of the zombie virus?That is something ordinary people are afraid of, but doctors who deal with diseases every day are not afraid of it!

As the director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at USC Hospital, Dr. Strange was of course also on the scene. At this time, he was reviewing the medical records of these "zombies" - from the medical records, these "zombie" black ghosts , are basically infected by the "eunuch strain" or "feminist strain".

Moreover, all of them had the experience of abusing anesthetics, and there were even needle holes in their arms. It seemed that the zombification caused by anesthetics was indeed possible.

But the problem is that even the latest among them has been admitted to the hospital for more than ten days.

In this way, it is impossible for them to lie on a hospital bed and still get anesthetics to cheer them up, right?

Uh, well, in the magical place of USC Hospital, it seems that it is not impossible for niggers to treat diseases and have fans here.

However, these "zombies" were all drilled out of body bags, and the longest death time among them had even exceeded 48 hours.

Even if they were all taking drugs before they died, the effect of the anesthetic could not last so long, could it?

Also, how was the death appraisal done before?Actually treat the nigger who has not died yet as a dead person?

So, Doctor Strange took out the death certificates of these people and read them several times, but he didn't find anything unusual for a while.

And the two surgeons who dissected the corpse also said that, unlike the descriptions in science fiction, they did not find any obviously abnormal mutated organs and tissues on the corpse, except that these niggers had already been poisoned by anesthesia and COVID-19 to a shocking degree Beyond the internal organs...

What the hell does this happen?How did the souls of these dead people climb out of hell again?

Just when Doctor Strange was so puzzled, a group of guys in trench coats and pistols on their waists broke in.

The middle-aged bald man in the lead looked around at everyone in the room, then leaned in front of the old police officer, took out his ID from his pocket, shook it, and said arrogantly, "...I am from the anti-drug team of the FBI's Los Angeles branch. Detective Robert, now take over the case! You can go!"

The disdainful tone that seemed to be treating wild cats and dogs made both the old police officer and his young partner feel a little bit annoyed.

But after carefully looking at Detective Robert's ID, the two policemen withdrew angrily.

No way, as a cop in Los Angeles, being kicked off the scene by the FBI, kicked off the scene by Homeland Security, kicked off the scene by the IRS, kicked off the scene by the military or whatever Driving away from the scene of a crime has long been a common practice, so it's impossible to get used to it!

—Who made the position of the police, which in the United States of America is usually at the bottom of the food chain of a large number of powerful institutions?

After the police left, Detective Robert asked the person in charge here to come out for investigation.

Therefore, fearing the power of the FBI, Doctor Strange could only stand up bravely and tell the truth about what happened tonight.

Detective Robert then asked other people some questions and asked his subordinates to record with a tape recorder.

Just as this preliminary questioning was about to close, a young detective couldn't help but stand up and interjected, "... Excuse me, doctor, who are bitten and scratched by the 'zombies' Injured people, have you controlled them?"

As soon as this remark came out, the entire room fell silent, and various zombie-themed movies and game screens flooded everyone's minds for a while.

Damn it, why did you forget that there is still a zombie infection?

According to the setting in the zombie movie, shouldn't there be corpse changes all over the street by now?

Dr. Strange's forehead was dripping with sweat for a while, but facing the detective's questioning, he still hesitated to say:

"...This... The scene at that time was really chaotic, many people ran around outside the hospital..."

At this moment, a cell phone rang terribly, breaking the peace in the room.

Under everyone's horrified gazes, Detective Robert impatiently took out the phone and put it to his ear, but was terrified by the bad news on the other side of the phone, "...what? A zombie attack in North Hollywood? A patrolman was killed Bite? How the hell did it spread so fast?"

"...North Hollywood is probably not the only one that is haunted by zombies." Rebecca, who had been squatting in a corner playing with her phone before, suddenly interjected, "...Look at Twitter! The subway over there in Koreatown Stop, the live-action version of "Train to Busan" is already being staged right now!"

When everyone heard the news, they quickly took out their mobile phones, checked Facebook, Twitter and INS, and then looked more and more frightened.

"...There are indeed zombies in Koreatown! Uh, there seem to be zombies in Universal Studios too!"

"...There are also zombies in Compton, and the local gangs are already shooting!"

"...This zombie has wandered onto Hollywood's Walk of Fame? I wonder how many media reporters are chasing after it?"

……

On the other side, Agent Robert packed up his things and prepared to leave after making a few phone calls, but before leaving, he still warned everyone:

"...Okay! I have something to leave now, but someone will come and take over soon. All of you here must sign a non-disclosure agreement, and you are not allowed to leave this hospital tonight. If you don't obey the order , all consequences are at your own risk!"

Regarding this, Doctor Strange naturally expressed trepidation and wholeheartedly agreed on the surface, but he was almost on the verge of collapse in his heart.

——He managed to squeeze out a little time, and wanted to take his girlfriend Rebecca home tonight and have a good night's sleep... It all went to waste.

Doctor Strange, who had nowhere to vent his evil fire, walked around the room a few times in agitation, and suddenly saw a black cat squatting on the window sill, and finally found an outlet, and pointed at the black cat. He scolded the nurse beside him, "...what happened? Even the cat came in?"

While the nurse who was reprimanded hurriedly admitted her mistake, she reached out and grabbed the nape of the black cat's neck, opened the window, and threw the cat out.

In this way, with the sound of police sirens all over the city all night, as well as rumors, photos and short videos flying on the Internet, the doctors and nurses at USC Hospital all stayed up all night excitedly.Four women in a small apartment not far away also spent a sleepless night.

Fortunately, when dawn came, this sudden "zombie disaster" was drawn to a halt.

——When the first ray of sunlight rose in the morning, those wandering "zombies" froze and fell to the ground, completely losing their ability to move...

However, the troubles belonging to the zombies have temporarily come to an end, but the troubles belonging to the living have just begun.

Chapter 50: Zombie Virus Specializes in Eggs

A week later, in the small conference room attached to the Los Angeles mayor's office, Freya, the mayor's female assistant, was preparing to host an important meeting.

As for why the assistant to the mayor, Ms. Freya, sat at the end of the long table, instead of the mayor of Los Angeles presiding over the meeting?

Because, the mayor of Los Angeles and his family have been hiding in a luxury yacht on the high seas for a month since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, and they don’t have any intention of coming back now—I heard that the city After the zombie incident, the mayor didn't dare to come back!

Therefore, since the end of March, Freya, who was ordered to stay in the mayor's office, has de facto acted as the mayor of Los Angeles.

However, in Los Angeles under the state of epidemic prevention and closure, this seemingly hot power is by no means a good job.

Any problems that arise in this modern metropolis, from water and electricity outages to shortages of medical supplies, as well as chaos in the supply chain of daily supplies, as well as rent disputes between tenants and landlords, will all be uploaded to Fry all the way. Ms. Ya's desk.

However, most of these problems were completely unable to be solved by Freya's assistant.

Although she can be regarded as a shrewd and capable woman in the workplace, many things cannot be solved by personal ability.

Therefore, Ms. Freya can only try her best to perfunctory and procrastinate, hoping that things will get better by themselves, and in addition, she has to talk to reporters in a bureaucratic tone.

After struggling so hard for several weeks, Ms. Freya felt that she was almost exhausted physically and mentally. However, the COVID-19 epidemic in Los Angeles and even in the United States not only did not improve at all, but worsened further. "Zombies" have emerged!

God, what did I do wrong?To bear such torture?

Freya still remembers so far that on that "zombie night" a week ago, she had already taken a shower and slept, but was woken up by a phone call.Then, holding the mobile phone, I spent a frightening night amidst breaking news on Twitter, Facebook, Douyin, INS and countless phone calls.

——University of Southern California Hospital, North Hollywood, Fashion District... There are sightings of "suspected zombies" everywhere, the real version of "Train to Busan" broke out at the subway station near Koreatown, and the homeless camp next to Universal Studios "Night of the Living Dead" was staged.

There are "zombies" strolling under the street lights on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, and there are homeless people laughing and dancing zombie dances.

The gunshots in Compton rang out all night, and the police calls in Irvine and Pasadena were directly blasted at night...

It was with great difficulty that the "zombies" who wandered around all night turned into corpses again... According to statistics after the fact, the "zombies" that had been raging all night in Los Angeles did not bite directly. No one died, but the resulting panic stampede, car accident, falling from a building, fire and misfire caused more than 100 deaths overnight and more than 400 people were injured.

What's worse, although the disaster of the zombies has come to an end, the disaster of the living has just begun...

——Before Ms. Freya, who was scolded bloodily by the mayor and the governor on the phone, figured out how to deal with the media, 400 million Los Angeles citizens broke out in a vigorous escape and fight during the following day. Great riot.

The torrent of traffic fleeing Los Angeles blocked every highway out of the city, while all kinds of robbery and arson blossomed everywhere in the city.

The police in Los Angeles had already fallen ill in a quarter during the epidemic, and now they are even more exhausted and completely unable to maintain law and order.

And the proposal to mobilize the National Guard to suppress the city has been arguing with all parties, and it has not been implemented for a long time.

The only good thing is that, unlike in the movie, these "zombies" produced by the mutant virus of COVID-19 are not living perpetual motion machines, but dying people who come back to life. They collapsed at dawn and died completely and can't get back up the next night.

At the same time, the above-mentioned "zombies" do not have the terrifying contagious power in TV dramas and movies, and people who are bitten will not directly become new zombies.

However, this doesn't really help because there are always new plague dead, who will "resurrect" and bite the next night.

In this way, Los Angeles, the "City of Angels", survived a magical week amidst riots and fear.

Fortunately, after the official propaganda machine was launched to hype that these so-called "zombies" were just COVID-19 patients who had died in suspended animation and were not contagious, the hearts of the people in Los Angeles gradually stabilized.Then, order in the market began to gradually restore.

However, even so, there must be an end to this matter...

Ms. Freya, assistant to the mayor of Los Angeles, was thinking so and came to the end of the conference table to take a seat.

Afterwards, she looked around at the people in the room, and couldn't help showing a wry smile on her face—who are these people coming to the meeting?

The Los Angeles branch of the FBI sent an agent, the Los Angeles Police Department sent a Hispanic female police officer, the National Guard sent a captain, the state legislature sent Susanna, the youngest black congresswoman, and other departments came. They are also small people.

Of course, the host of her meeting is nothing more than a mere assistant to the mayor.

And those big shots are hiding in their shelters, remotely controlling the meeting through computer screens and microphone headsets.

Hey, but even with a bunch of marionettes sitting here, there's still going to be a meeting.

Therefore, Freya still cheered up and said an opening remark.

Immediately, she invited experts and professors sent by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to come on stage, and began to introduce the latest research results on the "zombie virus".

"...As we know, the so-called [zombies] that have recently appeared in Los Angeles are actually people infected with a new mutant strain of COVID-19 who have returned to life after feigning death. They have lost their normal thinking ability, but at the same time they have strong aggressive tendencies..."

The Indian expert named Gupta pointed at the PPT on the projection screen with a laser pointer and introduced it like this.

"...These circumstances have been discussed many times on the Internet, and I already know it, Professor."

The black congresswoman Suzanne raised her hand and asked, "...But I still have two questions. First, why do African-Americans account for the vast majority of the [zombies] that appeared in Los Angeles? Second, why are all the [zombies] All young and middle-aged men, but not even a single woman?"

"... Regarding the former question, we haven't figured it out yet; but regarding the latter question, we have already reached a preliminary conclusion."

Professor Gupta replied, "...the reason is very simple. Women don't have testicles, and the mutated strain that produces zombies happens to specialize in testicles."

"……what?"

After hearing this, the black congresswoman Suzanne was stunned for three seconds, subconsciously wanting to accuse the other party of sexism.

But considering that this was a scientific occasion after all, she didn't say anything in the end, but just gestured for the professor to continue.

Chapter 51 Even if there are zombies, the city must be closed
