Then, a thorough investigation was conducted on all researchers involved in the extraterrestrial virus study, confirming that none of them were infected with the extraterrestrial virus, nor that anyone had smuggled extraterrestrial virus samples back to Earth. This ruled out the possibility that the extraterrestrial virus fragments originated from China.

So, where did the alien virus fragments in the zombie virus come from? This is the question the zombie virus research team most wants to understand. Researchers have proposed two hypotheses: one is the ancient remnant theory, and the other is the recent extraterrestrial visit theory. The ancient remnant theory states that extraterrestrials visited Earth in its ancient times, when humanity had just emerged and before civilization had formed, leaving behind some alien virus samples. Later, most of these viruses became extinct due to global climate change, with only a small number preserved under the ice and snow of the Earth's poles. In recent years, due to global warming and the melting of Antarctic glaciers, these extraterrestrial viruses have resurfaced. As for how these extraterrestrial viruses combined with native viruses to form the zombie virus, that's another story.

The recent alien visit theory posits that an alien fleet visited the solar system in recent years. Most of the spaceships were destroyed in an asteroid impact while traversing the asteroid belt, but not all were destroyed. One small spaceship escaped the disaster and successfully crash-landed in North America. The aliens on board used some means to conceal the ship and disguised themselves as humans, integrating into human society. The zombie virus outbreak in Mexico is a biological weapon developed by these aliens, combining alien viruses with native Earth viruses. They released the zombie virus to wipe out all of humanity, making room for a large-scale alien colonization.

Researchers have raised objections to the ancient remnant theory, primarily arguing that RNA viruses have a single-stranded structure and are extremely unstable. Based on this, extraterrestrial viruses preserved from ancient times and those collected recently would be separated by thousands or even tens of thousands of years. In such a long period, the viruses would have mutated beyond recognition, making it impossible for similar or even identical gene segments to exist.

After eliminating all the impossibilities, the remaining option, no matter how outlandish, is the truth. Currently, the recent extraterrestrial visit theory seems very likely to be the truth. This zombie virus crisis may very well be a grand extinction drama orchestrated by aliens. The thought of one or more aliens lurking in human society for years, plotting to wipe out humanity, is chilling.

After much deliberation, the head of the national health department submitted a report on the zombie virus to the World Health Organization. The report detailed that some genetic fragments of the zombie virus originated from an alien virus, and even suspected that extraterrestrials might be lurking in North America. The report was submitted publicly at a routine UN meeting without any secrecy measures. This report was shocking enough, science fiction enough, even somewhat absurd, and few of the attendees believed it. On the contrary, many participants treated the report as a joke, forwarding it online as evidence of the Chinese people's ignorance. As a result, the relevant documents and videos quickly spread online, reaching a growing number of netizens.

After reading this report, netizens around the world reacted in various ways. Some were deeply convinced and terrified; others didn't believe it at all, treating it as a joke; some took to their keyboards, calling for the extermination of aliens; and some suggested that the Chinese authorities provide samples and research data on the alien virus to resolve the zombie virus crisis. It was also after reading this document that other countries realized how advanced China's space technology had become. Traveling to and from the asteroid belt to capture the debris of rapidly moving alien spacecraft is now as easy as taking candy from a baby.

In short, the report submitted by China was not taken seriously by the World Health Organization. Even governments in countries located in the outbreak areas of the zombie virus did not take it seriously, continuing to implement traditional epidemic virus response plans and develop vaccines to deal with the zombie virus. The effect was not entirely ineffective, but it was practically negligible.

A month later, the first batch of patients infected with the zombie virus and completely zombified died, losing their zombie mobility. However, the situation in North America did not improve; instead, it worsened and spiraled out of control. This was because, in the month since the outbreak, nearly 80% of the population in North and South America had been infected with the zombie virus and were either already zombified or on the verge of becoming zombified. Whether in the streets or fields, in bustling cities or remote villages, zombies roamed everywhere, mindlessly. They were extremely aggressive, and many large animals and healthy humans were attacked by them, becoming either food or new carriers of the virus.

The remaining 20% ​​of uninfected humans could only hide in underground bunkers, nuclear defense facilities, or their own garage cellars, eking out a living and trembling with fear. Lacking food and clothing, afraid to go out, and isolated and helpless, death was only a matter of time.

Outside the Americas, the situation is equally dire. Africa and Australia have seen a large number of zombie virus infections, with countless carriers, teetering on the brink of spiraling out of control. European countries have been more vigilant and have stronger control over their populations, resulting in a small number of infected individuals who remain within manageable limits. Most Asian countries have closed their borders and implemented strict preventative measures, effectively cutting off the transmission routes of the zombie virus. While occasional infections have been discovered, they are isolated cases and have not spread significantly, having minimal impact. The reason for mentioning "most Asian countries" is the exception of India. Their government and citizens have ignored the zombie virus, allowing it to spread unchecked, resulting in over 90% of their population being infected, turning India into a breeding ground for the virus's evolution.

Influenced by neighboring countries, a few sporadic cases of zombie virus infection have also appeared in China. Fortunately, they were discovered in time and handled properly, preventing further spread. However, people's daily work and lives have been severely affected, forcing them to live cautiously and timidly.

There is good news: after tireless research by the expert team, the transmission routes and pathogenic mechanisms of the zombie virus have been largely clarified, allowing for targeted and effective protection. However, the development of specific drugs and vaccines to prevent and treat the zombie virus is still in its early stages, and no one knows when they will be successfully developed. (End of Chapter)
