Capítulo 14: Buried Talents
The zombies moved less than ten kilometers away from the desert settlement. Scattered corpse hunters could be seen along the way. Their methods varied, some used traps, some used primitive tools, and some used fishing nets to capture the zombies and then smashed their heads with stones. You can never imagine how much effort humans put in to survive in difficult situations.
Zhou Yuanqiang saw this scene, shook his head and asked: "Since the zombies are divided into up to eight levels, why can't we see higher-level zombies here?"
Xu Yuhai knew something. He smiled and said: "Zombies should actually be divided into nine levels. Here, you can only see zombies between three and four levels at most." Zhou Yuanqiang became interested and said: "Is there a ninth level of zombies?" Xu Yuhai nodded and said: "It can't be considered the ninth level, because there is a special infected person outside the eighth-level zombies. Their abilities can be big or small. The weak ones are only at the level of four or five, and the strong ones can even surpass the strength of the eighth-level zombies."
Zhou Yuanqiang has only been to this apocalypse a few times. This is the first time he has heard of the existence of special infected zombies. After careful inquiry, the answer he got was not satisfactory. Xu Yuhai didn't know much, mostly from hearing about it from others. For example, a high-level zombie with a level of more than five, once it appears, it is a disaster for the corpse hunters, even if it is a team. Generally speaking, zombies after level 3 rarely appear within the range of human activities, unless the zombie movement group covers human settlements.
Within a dozen or twenty kilometers near the refugee camp, it is still very safe. Generally, the most active ones are all the most primitive level 1 zombies, a small number of level 2 zombies, and rare level 3 zombies. There is not much difference between level 2 zombies and level 1 zombies. The biggest manifestation is that there is something called hatred value. Level 2 zombies often keep chasing you as long as they are staring at you, and are not affected by external sounds, etc.
However, level 3 zombies and level 2 zombies have made a qualitative leap. Level 3 zombies have become very agile and move very fast, almost as fast as humans running. Their strength is several times higher than that of level 1 and 2 zombies, and they also have the ability to lurk. You never know where they will come out from. Maybe in a small pit, they will lurk in it, waiting for humans to pass by and make a fatal attack.
Back at the refugee camp, the Xu brothers looked at Zhou Yuanqiang, waiting for his instructions.
Zhou Yuanqiang also had no purpose at all, and casually said: "Let's go to your place to rest first." The Xu brothers did not say much, Xu Dali led the way in front, and Xu Yuhai walked side by side with Zhou Yuanqiang. He was smart and seemed to guess that Zhou Yuanqiang was not familiar with the refugee camp, so he pointed out and introduced it everywhere.
The refugee camp was not formed at the beginning. It can be said that the closer the tents are to the central town, the older they are. They are survivors who came here at the beginning. Later, as the refugee camp continued to grow, the people who came later could only extend outwards around the central town in circles, and finally formed what Zhou Yuanqiang saw now.
Xu Yuhai and his tents were in the central layer of the refugee camp. As they walked along, under the scorching sun, the entire refugee camp exuded a stench that Zhou Yuanqiang could not bear. The Xu brothers were used to it. They walked through the tents and soon arrived in front of their tent. They said, "Water is very difficult to get in the refugee camp. It's normal that it hasn't been cleaned for a week or two. It's not surprising that there is a smell."
Their tents were very simple. At a glance, it was a wild mountain tent used by mountaineering enthusiasts in the past. However, this wild mountain tent, which used to be expensive, was now covered with more than a dozen patches and covered with layers of yellow mud dust, turning from dark green to light yellow. When the wind blew, a layer of mud immediately rippled.
Next to the Xu brothers was an even more tattered tent, which was made of many pieces of cloth and plastic bags sewn together.
A tall and thin man with glasses was squatting in front of the tent, concentrating on fiddling with a solar panel removed from a solar water heater. A wire connected the solar panel, and a converter assembled from many electronic components branched out several wires, leading to the tent behind him. Through the tattered tent, you can see that there are actually several laptops inside, all running.
Seeing Zhou Yuanqiang staring at the tent of the man with glasses, Xu Dali said disdainfully: "What's the use of playing with these things? They can't be eaten as food, they are complete waste." Only Xu Yuhai said with a trace of respect: "It's a pity, if there is no virus, with his ability, he may have an annual salary of tens of millions." He shook his head again, "It's the end of the world, people are all for food and survival, what's the point of writing and researching this primary intelligent system?"
"Primary intelligence?" Zhou Yuanqiang felt his heart suddenly beat faster. Technology is the primary productive force. This sentence definitely speaks out the importance of technology. Bringing an innovative technology back to the modern world from the end of the world is better than flipping food and other items a hundred times, and the risk is much lower.
The man with glasses also found the Xu brothers who had returned, greeted them enthusiastically, fiddled with the solar panels again, and after setting them up, he started a rotator that tracked sunlight. Then he touched his dry belly helplessly, shook his head with a wry smile, and plunged into the tent, typing quickly on the keyboard.
Zhou Yuanqiang signaled the Xu brothers to go back to the tent and wait for him. He walked gently into the tent of the man with glasses, stood behind him, and watched him input lines of code.
To be honest, Zhou Yuanqiang didn't understand the computer industry very well, but he still had a good eye. After just a while, he couldn't help but marvel at the other party's ability. Perhaps because of the end of the world, the man with glasses didn't guard against Zhou Yuanqiang when he was writing the program, and he even answered the questions Zhou Yuanqiang asked without hesitation.
Maybe it was because he found a confidant, the man with glasses stopped writing and said incessantly: "Maybe you don't believe it, the emergence of the primary intelligent system is definitely a landmark in human beings' computer development. It's a pity that it was born at the wrong time." Speaking of the sad part, the man with glasses suddenly burst into tears, "Haha, after ten years of hard work, there was a time of success, but in this end of the world, even survival is difficult, who would care about a program?"
What the other party said was indeed true. The Internet has stopped working a long time ago, and the devastating damage has turned computers into stand-alone computers. In the end of the world, who would have the leisure to care about these? Even without food, there is no electricity, and still holding a computer, isn't this a disease? I'm afraid that except for some organizations that have large local area networks, people like the man with glasses who have several computers in the refugee camp are really outliers.
Hearing the man with glasses' words, Zhou Yuanqiang resisted the urge to laugh out loud and said: "I wonder if you will sell this primary intelligent system?"
