Chapter 1368 Fertilizer - Anything. Shoot.
Before I asked that question, I forgot that one of the major reasons that Japan was nuked was because of the deadheads spread and its propensity to evolve once they began eating each other. In some twisted way, it'd benefit the living if they had more live victims instead of cannibalizing their own kind.
But yeah, Lieutenant Sanders was more than happy to share detail of their type of infected though the most common trait of their kind was their high activity while in the presence of the sun—or from their own experiments, straight-up UV Rays.
"Have you tried blocking out the sun and seeing their reactions?"
[We did something like that but the effect varies and it's not instant.]
"What effect are we talking about?"
[Hmm, I'm not the expert but with each infected's body's decomposition varying from being to being, how agile they are plays a factor on that.]
"Ah~ They move quite well but if their body is decomposed or damaged enough, it doesn't matter in the slightest. But if we compared it to an infected that's recently turned?"
[If that's the case, they could run, jump, vault, or do anything that a normal person could do while adrenaline is coursing through their bodies. The weird thing though is that we noticed in recent months that the rate of decomposition had gone to a crawl. If we're talking about how a body normally decomposes, they should be sludge by now.]
"Wasn't it known that any sort of living being in contact with the host containing the virus would surely die? What if microorganisms that help in organic breakdown are affected as well?"
[We thought of that too but why didn't it happen early on?]
"Hmm. I mean— they are the ones responsible for the body's decomposition from their secretions but what if they had some sort of resistance to it early on?"
[Hah? You mean resistance to the virus? That's insane.]
"How could they have resisted in the first place early on? They shouldn't have decomposed if they were already eradicated. And also, aren't we all infected? What if they've been trying to resist it in some way but the virus had already evolved to counter whatever it was they're cooking."
[That's... It's all fantasy land, you know? We don't even have enough scientists here to check that theory. We sent almost all of them all around the globe, we don't have the means to do more research.]
"Or a working government."
[You just have to rub it in, huh? The military is running things mostly because bullets do AND still work, and we have the edge on that. Funny how things work differently around here.]
"It was said that they're the only cure too..."
[You know that fucking runt, don't ya?]
"..."
[Heh. That's a yes in my book.]
"Fine, I do know the kid but whatever he do, I'd request you just do nothing if you ever caught him. Just keep him in one of your cells until his family looks for him or when we arrive. And for the things he stole, I'll do my best to replace it all and add a little top-up. I apologize in advance."
[Hmm. Done.]
"Huh?"
[What do you mean, 'huh'? I just said that it's done. What more can you ask?]
"Just like that?"
[Just like that.]
"Huh."
[Huh, indeed.]
"For real? You ain't gonna ask me to spread my cheeks and lift my sack when we get there?"
[HAH! I'm happily married, unfortunately. Besides, you ARE the Admiral's guest. But if you insist on rewarding me, I'd like to take a gander on that.]
"Anything. Shoot."
[Heh. I'd like a bucket of spicy chicken, a wallop of mash with gravy, hashbrowns, fries, a bowl of soup, a tray of brownies, and a liter of fucking Coke. That's what I want and I want them hot, except for the liter of Coke since I want that bitch ice-cold.]
"I can give you a liter of ice-cold Coke with rum if you'd like?"
[Kiiiid~ You better fucking stop or I'll really make you spread your cheeks and lift your sack when you get here, alright? But yeah, you really should stop worrying about that kid of yours and figure out if our thing here could work over on your side.]
