”The earliest was 6000 B.C., in a cave in Central Africa, there were 13 crushed heads. According to the frescoes in the cave, there was a small-scale outbreak of Zombie. These 13 people were infected, killed by the warriors of the tribe, their heads were crushed, their bodies were burned, and they warned that no one was allowed to enter this cave.”
”And the Bible. The Apocalypse also recorded... I read it to you... ” The priest took a notebook out of his pocket and opened it to read: ”That thousand years is over, and Satan will be released from prison to beguile the nations of the four lands, Gogol and Magee, and gather them to fight. Their numbers were as great as the sands of the sea. And they came up all over the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the city of love... ”
”How is it?” The Daoist raised his head and asked, ”Their numbers are as great as the sea …” up all over the world... If you aren't talking about Zombie, then what is it? ”
He said that he once saw a human head that was soaked in water at the home of a chief. When he walked in to take a closer look, the head suddenly opened its eyes, and even opened its mouth to bite his finger!
”There are records of ancient Chinese books as well. For example, Yuan Mei's < Zi's Wordless > and Ji Xiaolan's < Micro-Grass Hall Notes > are simply manuals written by zombies!”
”From Jerusalem, Africa, Japan, South America, Siberia, and even Iceland and Greenland, there are records of Zombie attacking!” The Taoist flipped through his notebook.
”Then you don't have to worry about it.” I regained my senses and ridiculed: ”Even if what you said is true, this Zombie could even be settled by the ancient people, so it's even more so now!”
The Taoist waved his hands and said, ”It is because of the modern society that the Zombie become the real problem.”
”What do you mean?” I asked curiously.
”It's because modern people are too closely linked with each other!” The Taoist folded the documents again into a pile: ”Think about it, before Columbus discovered America, the entire continent had tens of millions of people, but because of the ocean, they never had any contact with the humans of the so-called civilized world. Back then, the mainstream civilization didn't even know that there was such a continent on Earth.
I couldn't help but nod.
”But it's different now. Is there any place that humans have yet to enter? Antarctic North Pole? Everest? You think you're in a remote and isolated place, but you might find a used condom in the grass nearby. Everything you eat and drink every day is gathered from different places, even from several countries! ”
”In our city, most of the pork you eat every day comes from Sichuan; ginger, onion, from Shandong; radish, from Henan; potato, from Gansu or Yunnan; eggplant, from Fujian; coconut curry, from Thailand …”
”Like Ebola, why is the crisis worse than ever before? Because Africa used to be economically and socially backward, with a sparsely populated land and a lack of interpersonal communication, and because the Ebola virus developed too quickly and had a high fatality rate, it often disappeared into the jungle after the rapid extermination of a village because it did not have the means to spread to the next village. ”
”It's the same in the ancient times. If the Zombie were to explode, it might just be an event in a prefecture or county because of the lack of a way to spread the news. But now …”
”You like to buy things online, right?” the Taoist asked suddenly.
I nodded my head, a little at a loss.
”Click on the mouse and the next day you'll be delivered to your house. These things could still be around the world the day before! How do they move? Aircraft, ships, trains, highways... ”The speed of humans has never been so fast before!” If the Zombie were to erupt, then … The Taoist stretched out his hands in front of him and made a ball with his hands. ”If you can't control it all, you'll be like a balloon — Bang!” His hands shot out.
