Chapter 832 Spark City
Chapter 832 Spark City
It took three days for the group to completely occupy the entire prison, burn all the zombies, and conduct a preliminary cleanup of the entire prison, and the situation was completely stabilized.
Lu Cheng gathered everyone together again and held the first formal full-staff meeting of the prison shelter.
"Everyone, starting from today, we have gained a firm foothold in this prison. Next, we have to formally plan our future arrangements. However, before announcing these arrangements, please first allow Dr. Jenner to give us a detailed introduction to some information about the zombie virus."
Dr. Jenner, who had been prepared, stood up and said something that shocked everyone: "First of all, I have some bad news to tell you. In fact, all of us have been infected."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Rick immediately asked, "Doctor, what do you mean by this?"
"My meaning is very clear. Every living person of us carries the zombie virus in our bodies. It's just that the virus is suppressed by the antibodies in our bodies, so we won't turn into zombies now. However, once we are bitten by a zombie, or die for various other reasons, as long as our heads are intact, we will turn into zombies."
"Doctor, are you sure you're not kidding? Even if you die a normal death, you'll turn into a zombie?"
Dr. Jenner nodded. "Yes, that's right. In fact, I had already given up hope. Even if we humans kill all the zombies now, as long as there are people dying, they will become zombies. In other words, the zombie virus will always hide in our bodies and be passed down from generation to generation."
At this moment, everyone was silent.
Rick couldn't help but ask again: "What about the vaccine? Can the vaccine completely eliminate the zombie virus?"
Dr. Jenner shook his head. "It's not certain yet. When we are bitten by zombies, the vaccine can make antibodies in our bodies, so that we won't become zombies. But this antibody will not last forever. After the virus is eliminated, the antibody will gradually decrease.
However, don't be discouraged. It was Lu who helped me research the vaccine. Even if the current vaccine is not perfect, we just need to continue researching and we will definitely be able to find a vaccine that can completely eliminate the zombie virus!"
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.
In the original series, Rick learned from the doctor at the CDC at the end of the first season that everyone was infected. But he was afraid that everyone would fall into despair after knowing it, so he never told them.
It wasn't until the end of the second season that Rick said this, which caused dissatisfaction among some people in the team.
This information is very important to the entire team. In case someone around them dies for other reasons and is not bitten by the zombies, and people who don't know the news ignore this point, they may be attacked by the dead person who has turned into a zombie.
Therefore, letting everyone know the news as early as possible can also avoid some risks.
Lu Cheng clapped his hands and then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry too much about this. We will set up a laboratory in the future and continue to study the virus. We will always find a solution.
In fact, since the birth of human civilization, we have faced various viruses, bacteria, smallpox, influenza, the Black Death, and plague. These terrible diseases have once plunged humans into despair. But human civilization can always break out in despair and defeat one terrible disease after another. So, this time, we can also completely defeat the zombie virus! "
"Yes, absolutely!" The person who has the most confidence in Lu Cheng here is Dr. Jenner, who has seen Lu Cheng doing scientific research with his own eyes.
"Okay, next we have to re-divide the work of the entire team. Right now, our team is still too small, and we must absorb as many kind and lawful survivors as possible to join us so that we can continue to grow.
Moreover, we need to seize the season and grow some suitable food and vegetables to achieve self-sufficiency. All of this requires manpower..."
After making these arrangements, Lu Cheng proposed the first task: "First, we need to change the name of our shelter. We can't still call it West Georgia Prison. Everyone is free to express their opinions."
"Yes, we should change the name. Prison is not a good name. I think we can call it Hope Town."
“I think Peace Town is nice.”
“Why not call it Civilized Town?”
"Moir, are you civilized enough?"
"Shit, I'm much more civilized than you. Didn't the captain ask us to rebuild human civilization? I proposed this based on what the captain said."
"No wonder, I said you weren't capable of coming up with such a name, Mor."
From the quarry all the way to here, Moore has always been fighting on the front line. Although he still spits out a few trash words from time to time, people are no longer afraid of him, and even T dares to joke with him.
Lu Cheng also mentioned: "What do you think of Spark City? A single spark can start a prairie fire. Right now the whole world is in darkness, let us be the torch that lights up the darkness, ignite a prairie fire, illuminate all the darkness, and restart the light of civilization?"
"That's good, I agree!"
"The captain is still good."
"I think, since the name has been changed, can the captain also be renamed as the city lord?"
Lu Cheng waved his hand: "We only have one prison now, calling it the city lord is an exaggeration. Since no one objects, the name of the shelter will be decided. The second item is that we will redistribute the work.
This time we have to split into two teams, a search and rescue team to search for supplies and survivors, and a guard team to stay in the shelter. Due to the current limited personnel, it is best for ladies to learn combat skills and how to use firearms to help defend the prison.
In order to better train you and improve your combat skills, I decided to appoint Rick as your shooting instructor and Daryl as your wilderness survival and tracking instructor. As for me, I can teach you some tactical skills, and what you have always wanted to learn, Chinese Kung Fu. "
"Kung Fu? Captain, are you really going to teach us Kung Fu?"
"Can every one of us learn Kung Fu? Can everyone be like you in the future?"
When they heard that Lu Cheng was going to teach them the magical Chinese Kung Fu, everyone became excited, even the women were no exception, and a few children cheered: "Oh, we are going to become Superman too."
Lu Cheng stretched out his hand and pressed down: "Okay, don't get too excited. Kung Fu cannot be practiced in one day. It's probably unlikely that you can practice to my level. Moreover, Chinese Kung Fu emphasizes starting from a young age and persisting in continuous practice.
The most suitable age for cultivation is between ten and twenty-five. Once you are over twenty-five, your body and bones are fully developed, and even if you practice diligently, it is difficult to reach a higher level. "
Everyone was a little disappointed when they heard this. Amy, Glenn, T-boy and a few other guys were a little relieved because they were all under 25 years old. Those who had children all looked at their own children.
"Well, don't be too disappointed. As long as you practice hard, you may not become superhuman, but you can improve your physical strength, endurance, and reaction speed. It is possible to transform you from ordinary people into special forces soldiers. If someone has better talent, maybe they can break the age limit and reach a higher level."
After such a mental fluctuation, everyone had a preliminary understanding of Kung Fu.
Of course, Lu Cheng would not teach these people anything too advanced, and they would not be able to learn anything too complicated. It would be good enough if they could practice horse stance and improve their physical fitness.
"Another point, if you want to practice kung fu to a higher level, I suggest you learn Chinese."
Lu Cheng has already made plans. Under the pretext of learning Chinese Kung Fu, he wants all the survivors in the world to learn to speak Chinese from a young age. In the future, Chinese will gradually become the common language, and other languages can be stored in the archives of history...
