1182: The second wave of zombies is coming

Hong Lei was a little surprised by the plant almanac that appeared at this moment.

The reason was that the 'plant' in the almanac didn't look like a plant at all.

New Almanac: [Small Cart]

Energy Required for Exchange: 20 points/cart (maximum of six can exist simultaneously)

Introduction: When the villa's defense line is completely broken, it can help you hold the line and defend the backyard, and for every day it safely passes, the Host will receive a red envelope reward provided by the Small Cart daily.

Evaluation: Congratulations Host, you have obtained the last solid defense line for the villa's backyard.

Looking at the System's introduction and evaluation, Hong Lei felt a surge of surprise and delight in his heart regarding this newly unlocked almanac.

Hong Lei had a general understanding of the System's evaluations.

So far, the plant the System had given the highest evaluation to was the Big Mouth Flower.

But the Big Mouth Flower was only the highest evaluation relative to other plants; in fact, the evaluation 'A small master of one-hit kills' could at most be considered a mid-tier character.

And at this moment.

The System's evaluation of the Small Cart, specifically the phrase 'solid defense line', made this new Small Cart almanac become a character like a hidden master in Hong Lei's heart!

"Ding ~ Warning Host, the second wave of Zombies will arrive soon, please Host prepare yourself and defend your yard."

Hearing the System's reminder, Hong Lei's breathing hitched.

Another wave of Zombies is about to arrive?

Could it be that kid Wang Yang is coming to cause trouble again?

No, Hong Lei had contacted him by phone before, and that guy was currently single-mindedly thinking about how to establish a relationship with the Liu Family.

Plus, that guy's injuries haven't recovered yet, and after the painful lesson from before, as long as his head is normal, it's impossible for him to come back and court death again in the short term.

This second wave of Zombies mentioned by the System is very likely something he just happened to run into!

"Hello, audience friends, welcome to today's news..."

In the villa, the huge plasma TV was already turned on.

It just happened to be time for today's news broadcast.

"At 8:13 AM today, a serious terrorist organization massacre of civilians occurred in Philadelphia, United States, resulting in over two thousand civilian casualties.

The severity of the incident far exceeds all terrorist extremist crimes that have occurred domestically since the founding of the United States!"

Along with the news report, the screen also showed a City shrouded in smoke.

"According to the latest news reported by journalists within the United States, this incident has mobilized the United States Army, but the matter is still unresolved."

After some footage of ruined streets, the news topic quickly switched to another topic.

"At 8:45 AM today, a severe terrorist attack also occurred within East Ying, affecting nearly ten thousand civilians and causing estimated property losses of three hundred billion Japanese Yen.

In response, the East Ying authorities have bowed in apology but have not proposed any proper methods for handling the incident."

"According to the confessions of the captured terrorists, the two severe terrorist attacks that have attracted World attention both originated from a massive terrorist organization named [Darkness]."

"This organization researches biological viruses and unscrupulously poisons Cities, having already caused over five thousand deaths!"

"Recently, many members of the [Darkness] organization have also been captured within our Dragon Country.

For the safety of the public, at 5:00 PM today, the Ministry of Justice reissued 12 new laws."

"1. The training grounds for Army Soldiers will begin to move into Cities, and the streets will be guaranteed to have fully armed Soldiers every day to ensure everyone's safety."

"2. Medical body examinations will be completely free.

If you feel unwell, please go to the Hospital immediately for a body check."

"3. To prevent the [Darkness] organization from exploiting opportunities, all activities involving gatherings of many people, such as concerts and sports events, will be completely prohibited."

"4. To avoid ill-intentioned individuals inciting panic and drastically inflating prices, some items will be subject to purchase restrictions."

"5. After discussion, the nation will fully encourage the development of entertainment projects excluding large gatherings, and the review of optimistic, positive, and uplifting film and television works will be greatly relaxed..."

...

...

A total of twelve newly added laws, as if born to adapt to this era.

After they were presented one by one, the cigarette Hong Lei was smoking in the villa had burned out.

"They still haven't explicitly stated the existence of Zombies.

How many people will continue to be infected by Zombies without knowing why?" Da Hu, standing beside him, shook his head, expressing his lack of understanding.

"After all, there are so many people in the Dragon Country.

If this matter were really announced, the entire society would definitely instantly fall into chaos."

Hong Lei didn't think there was anything wrong with the new laws added on TV.

The Army entering Cities can indeed protect the safety of citizens to the greatest extent.

Free body checks can prevent the growth of hidden dangers contained within people infected with the Zombie virus.

And the third point is also easy to understand: in a gathering of many people, if there is even one Zombie, the consequences would be unimaginable!

The fourth point needs no further explanation.

As for the fifth point.

The only thing Hong Lei could think of was that it was to prevent the birth of human-monsters!

According to the information Wang Yang revealed to him on the phone before, Hong Lei understood that human-monsters are beings born from excessive obsession or despair in their hearts.

Vigorously developing entertainment projects can at least suppress the restlessness, paranoia, and even despair in people's hearts.

It can also greatly reduce the birth of human-monsters!

The subsequent newly added laws were also set around the current environment.

From this information, Hong Lei could even foresee that the laws applicable to the original society would be replaced one by one by the laws of the new environment!

After roughly understanding the news for the Dragon Country, Hong Lei then opened the local channel.

The local channel's station could also be seen on TV.

In the past, the local station of Qianyang County mainly broadcast some local trivial matters.

For example, Wang Wu's cow ran away.

A villager accidentally picked up a piece of meat Ganoderma lucidum in the river that resembled a mushroom.

The second uncle of Wu Family Village celebrated his eightieth birthday, and on that day, extreme joy turned to sorrow as he passed away due to high blood pressure, and the birthday banquet was temporarily changed to a farewell banquet.

Now.

On the station, what was continuously broadcast was a loop video.

"Unsold completed properties in Qianyang County are completely free!

This offer is only for areas north of Qianyang County, Mozhuang, Fengbai Town, Da Yang Township, Ba Wang Township, first come, first served!"

The looping video, like a different kind of alarm bell, rang in his ears again and again!

"Mozhuang, Fengbai Town, Da Yang Township, Ba Wang Township... These areas are all north of Qianyang Town.

The County is giving away houses for free to people from these places?"

As Hong Lei cleared his thoughts, he suddenly thought of something, walked out of the villa, and stepped into the RV.

Inside the RV, A Man directly opened the navigation map on the RV.

The map's range was not small, at least it already covered the entire Qianyang County.

And after seeing the map of the entire Qianyang County, Hong Lei's breathing was like a faucet suddenly tightened, not a single breath escaped from his nose.

Under his vision, he could clearly see, on the entire map.

North of Qianyang County, a visible expanse of Darkness, like heavy dark clouds, was slowly pressing down!

Looking at the direction the Darkness was moving, it was estimated that the several Towns and Townships north of Qianyang County would definitely be completely enveloped!

No wonder, no wonder the County would give such a discount to those people at this time.

It seems the County has also discovered this slowly approaching disaster from the Northern Side.

Now they are using the welfare of free housing to attract those people from the Northern Side to the County as much as possible, ensuring they are not affected by the disaster's encroachment.

"What kind of disaster is this Darkness?"

Looking at this expanse of Darkness, Hong Lei suddenly realized that his current location, which was the location of the villa, strictly speaking, was also located on the Northern Side of Qianyang County!

In front of him were those villages and Towns.

And once these villages and Towns were gone, he would inevitably become the foremost existence on the Northern Side of Qianyang County!

Carrying some guesses, Hong Lei casually tapped his finger on the spreading dark shadow.

"Ding ~ Host selected location Da Yang Township."

"Da Yang Township is currently experiencing a disaster brought by a Zombie flood, which seems to contain some kind of Advanced Zombie.

Does the Host wish to go?

This trip carries considerable danger."

"These dark areas are Zombie floods?"

Hearing this, Hong Lei instantly thought of his own situation.

He remembered that not long ago, when he had just unlocked the Small Cart, the System had said that the second wave of Zombies was about to arrive!

If his guess was correct, this slowly advancing Zombie flood on the Northern Side of the map was precisely the second wave of Zombies the System said was about to arrive!

Looking at it this way, the number is definitely not small!

No wonder 17 Zombies wandered over during the day today; it turns out the main force behind them is the truly terrifying existence!

He also doesn't know if the plants he has on hand can withstand this wave of attacks!
