Doomsday Plan Special Envoy

"His strength and speed are about the same as a normal adult male."

"However, these zombies move on all fours, running or jumping, making them much more difficult to deal with than the walking dead in normal movies and TV shows."

"The tracking mechanism is mainly heat sensing, but they can obviously also use vision and hearing to assist in locating enemies. It is currently unclear where the heat sensing organ is located."

Four o'clock in the morning.

The sky was beginning to brighten, so Jiang Yan and his companion immediately stopped all movement, stuffed the two zombies back into the cabin, and quickly returned to the Nautilus.

Including Wang Da, who was already on the small fishing boat, Jiang Yan actually had a total of three zombies.

However, he felt that the three zombies posed a greater risk, so he executed one of them, leaving only Zhang Shun and Wang Da alive.

There were a total of 10 people at the Hope Wharf, and all of them except for Li Defu died.

Unfortunately, when Jiang Yan returned to Hope Wharf to look for the fishing boat, he did not find any trace of Li Defu.

Since this guy didn't go back to Hope Wharf, he guessed that Li Defu probably drove the speedboat directly back to Shanghai.

Having been a captain for so many years, Li Defu must know many large ships at the docks in Shanghai. He could easily find one to avoid the zombies during the day.

Since its whereabouts were unknown, Jiang Yan didn't take it too seriously. Instead, he took advantage of the daylight to conduct a thorough inspection of the Nautilus.

The zombie bloodstains were completely washed away, and then a preliminary cleaning was done with 84 disinfectant.

Some metal parts are disinfected with hydrogen peroxide solution, otherwise they are easily corroded and damaged.

Disinfection doesn't need to be very meticulous, because these zombies died in open areas, where the intense sunlight during the day shines on the deck, and the high temperature environment has its own disinfection effect.

There's a price to pay: he'll need to remove the reflective film from the deck tomorrow, which means the cabin temperature will rise by 5 degrees Celsius.

It's fine, just turn on the air conditioning and enjoy the day, the diesel fuel is enough.

Secondly, we did some simple repairs on the deck, which had some marks from arrow piercings.

It doesn't affect normal function, but it's not too much trouble to fix.

Then comes the retrieval of arrows. Jiang Yan's accuracy is over 90%, so most of the arrows can be found on the ship.

He had ordered arrows with fixed blades in advance, which were more secure when they collided with objects and were not easily damaged, so these arrows could basically be reused.

After finishing all these tasks, the night quietly passed, and Jiang Yan quickly weighed anchor and steered the "Nautilus" back to the safe ocean.

"That's about it."

He left the captain's cabin and went down to the first-floor cabin, where Su Muyun was organizing some data and research findings from previous zombie experiments on her computer.

She was quite good at these things, which saved Jiang Yan a lot of trouble.

Even if he were asked, he wouldn't be able to give a clear answer, since Jiang Yan's performance in mathematics, physics, and chemistry was only average.

"Did you find anything?"

Jiang Yan asked Su Muyun, who was looking very serious. She was wearing large-framed glasses, which made her small face look delicate and cute.

"Hmm, based on my previous guess, these zombies might be more useful than I thought."

She turned around and pointed out a piece of information that was particularly important to them.

"These zombies aren't at their peak at night. I have a curve showing the effect of temperature on their mobility, and it's basically a positive correlation."

Su Muyun's expression remained serious: "In other words, when the temperature is high during the day, these zombies will be even more terrifying in strength and speed. If you have a choice, absolutely avoid conflict with zombie hordes during the day."

Jiang Yan nodded, recalling the scene of fighting the zombies last night, and secretly marveled.

Didn't expect that the zombies weren't at their strongest back then?

The zombies in this apocalyptic crisis are indeed much more difficult to deal with than those in "The Walking Dead".

"However, there are some advantages during the day. The sensitivity of the zombies' thermal sensors will definitely be reduced, and the detection range will be greatly reduced. As long as you don't make any noise or get seen by them directly, you'll be fine."

Su Muyun mentioned an advantage that could hardly be considered an advantage.

During the day, the sun is scorching, so Jiang Yan generally doesn't choose to act during the day. In some dim, shady places, the zombies' heat sensors are still very sensitive.

Troublesome.

"Secondly, there's the heat-absorbing property of zombies. They have a strong ability to absorb heat, and it's passive."

Su Muyun showed Jiang Yan the data model she had calculated; she had even created a 3D model.

The model is a deep pit, with a normal warehouse on top and hundreds of writhing zombies inside.

"To put it simply, we can use zombies to make such 'ice storage' to store supplies, or even live directly on top of the ice storage, which can help neutralize the global heat wave."

She smiled and tapped the pit, enlarging the zombies inside.

No hands or feet.

Each zombie is in a "corpse pig" state, making them look more like wriggling worms.

"Just treat the zombies. They won't die from losing their limbs; they'll just continue to passively absorb heat."

Jiang Yan looked at the zombie worms in the deep pit again, and various images flashed through his mind, making him feel somewhat nauseous.

It must be said that the savior's mental fortitude is truly remarkable.

After personally fighting zombies, she had absolutely no psychological burden and could even come up with a special building like the zombie worm pit, which would cause an ordinary person's sanity to drop drastically at a glance.

This tenacity far surpasses that of his peers, and Jiang Yan is willing to classify him as a veteran of many battles.

In comparison, Zhang Qiming, who was on the ship earlier, was almost scared out of his wits by the zombies, far less frightened than Su Muyun, a high school girl.

"Can it only be used for a semi-permanent ice storage facility?"

Jiang Yan countered that if that were all, zombies wouldn't be considered very useful, and they would still be a long way from becoming "production tools."

"Of course it's still useful." Su Muyun shook her head. "You can think of zombies as a semi-permanent machine that converts 'thermal energy' into 'kinetic energy'."

"Can kinetic energy be utilized? You're not thinking of making a treadmill for zombies and then using it to generate electricity, are you?"

Jiang Yan thought of a meme he had seen before.

In a zombie apocalypse, placing treadmills around your home will prevent zombies from ever getting in, and can even help generate electricity.

Su Muyun thought for a moment: "Making a special hamster wheel wouldn't be a bad idea."

She shook her head: "But there's an even simpler way. The mere existence of zombies cools the surrounding area, creating a significant temperature difference. So we can use that temperature difference to generate electricity."

Seeing that Jiang Yan didn't seem to understand the technology, Su Muyun took the initiative to explain:

"Thermoelectric power generation is a very common type of power generation in daily life. The principle is the Seebeck effect, also known as the first thermoelectric effect."

Simply put, when two different conductors, one hot and one cold, are placed together, a potential difference will directly occur.

An excitement appeared on Su Muyun's face, making him look somewhat like an "evil scientist".

"If we can find reliable materials, we can build a zombie generator right now."
