Film and Television World Life Record

After analyzing it thoroughly, there's only one conclusion: zombies basically don't have many weaknesses.

The simplest way to eliminate zombies is to severely damage their bodies, such as by shooting them to death.

Another method is to use cold weapons.

There are specific techniques involved in this. In the laboratory, when researching how to eliminate zombies, one experiment involved cutting the zombie in half at the waist, a technique similar to the ancient practice of dismemberment.

However, the zombie was still not dead; relying on its upper body, it could live quite well. After being observed in the laboratory for a few days, it gradually adapted to its current state, crawling quickly by dragging its half-body with its hands.

Upon seeing this, Li Mu thought of the spear he had bought; indeed, movies and novels can be deadly.

In so many movies, TV shows, and novels, the brain is the zombie's vital organ; destroying the brain is the key to killing a zombie. Influenced by this, Li Mu also believed that the spear was the most effective weapon against zombies. A spearhead piercing the brain, a single, fatal blow.

Who knew it wasn't!

It's not as good as a Mo Dao (陌刀), which can cut a zombie in two with one stroke.

Next, they announced many more methods for dealing with zombies.

For example, you can use fire or a flamethrower to burn the zombies to bones, which will naturally eliminate them.

……

While many methods for eliminating zombies have been listed, none are practical for ordinary people. Compared to humans, zombies are far too resilient; they can be hacked and beaten at will. Unless their body structure is completely destroyed and they are burned to the bone, you cannot eliminate them.

Conversely, zombies can easily harm ordinary people. Their craving for flesh and blood makes humans seem even more dangerous.

Eliminating zombies is difficult, and that can be left to professionals. However, in emergency situations where civilians need to help themselves and deal with zombies, there are ways to do so.

There's no need to eliminate the zombies; just render them incapable of movement.

Like Li Mu, who dealt with zombies twice. The first time was at the entrance of the residential area. With his strong physical strength, he directly stomped the zombie on the ground, rendering it unable to resist or move, and waited for the police to arrive.

This is even more impossible for ordinary people.

The other one is simpler, similar to the method Li Mu used to deal with the zombie in the wholesale market.

According to laboratory research, as long as a zombie's limbs are broken, it will lose its ability to move for a short period of time and can only crawl on the ground like an insect.

However, it might take a few days to get used to moving freely like a worm. In that time, you could call the police or use fire to kill the zombies.

To be even more decisive, break the zombie's spine and cervical vertebrae completely, so it can't even wriggle. As long as you don't get close, it will be harmless for a short period of time.

For ordinary people, this may be the most effective way to deal with zombies.

After watching this professional explanation video and analysis, countless people left comments below, and it quickly rose to the top of the trending searches, attracting even more viewers.

Soon, some official media outlets and influential bloggers began to repost the research on zombie weaknesses and methods for dealing with zombies, making it almost common knowledge.

People were amazed by the zombies' incredible adaptability, and many became even more pessimistic.

……

Two more people were taken away from the community in one morning, making the atmosphere even more tense.

Li Mu, however, saw the tired looks on the faces of the police and soldiers through his binoculars and realized the manpower shortage. He wondered how long these people hadn't rested.

After lunch, just as I was about to take a nap, I received a notice from the Xiacheng government stating that, given the serious situation and manpower shortage, militia organization would be re-established in the city, organized by residential community.

In addition, a large number of auxiliary police officers and volunteers will be recruited from the public for various support and logistical positions. This will free the military from various tedious tasks, allowing them to focus solely on combat.

The notice stipulates that, except for the elderly, children, patients, and some special circumstances, such as families with elderly, children, or patients who need full-time care, only one person can stay at a time.

Everyone else must choose a position.

You can choose one of the following: militia member, auxiliary police officer, or volunteer.

Li Mu considered it for a moment. Auxiliary police officers and volunteers have less free time and might be assigned to other places. Militia members, on the other hand, would train within the community and have more flexible hours. Given his experience, he wouldn't be an ordinary militia member.

When I got downstairs, there were already staff members registering people, and many people were already queuing up.

Many people probably don't want to leave their residential communities, and the majority of them are elected as military personnel.

Just as he was about to join the queue, an official staff member glanced at his phone screen, then at Li Mu, as if confirming his identity, and walked over enthusiastically.

"Hello, Comrade Li Mu!"

Li Mu shook hands with him: "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

The staff member said, "Here's what happened. When we were collecting statistics on the residents of the community, we learned about your background. You graduated from military academy, came from the special forces, and participated in peacekeeping missions abroad for many years. You have a wealth of experience and are a very rare talent. It's a pity that you were injured and have recovered."

"I don't know the details of your injury. Are you alright now?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's all right now!"

The staff member said with relief, "That's good. As you can see, the situation is very serious, with a severe shortage of manpower. The authorities are working to restore the militia organization."

"However, to develop a certain level of discipline and combat effectiveness, professional training is needed, and in the future, these militia members will also need professional command."

"The military is currently facing heavy combat missions and simply doesn't have enough manpower. The task of training the militia can only be assigned to retired personnel."

"As a veteran, you possess outstanding qualities in all aspects. After careful consideration by the organization, we have decided to appoint you as the militia captain of the community, and the task of establishing the community militia team is entrusted to you."

Li Mu hesitated for a moment: "Just me?"

The staff member said, "There are also eight retired veterans in the community. We will notify them to help you form a militia team."

Li Mu nodded: "No problem!"

The staff member said happily, "That's good. We hope you can complete the training as soon as possible. Not only your community, but also some surrounding communities may need your help with training due to a shortage of professional personnel."

"In the future, the militia teams in the surrounding communities may unite and help each other."

Li Mu considered it for a moment and nodded: "Okay, no problem."

After the conversation ended, Li Mu immediately took up his post and worked with the staff to register the militia members in the community.

The Yuyuan residential community where Li Mu lives has more than a dozen residential buildings with more than 30 floors. According to statistics, there are about 1,200 households including residents and tenants, with a total population of more than 4,000. After deducting the elderly, children, patients, and those with special circumstances, there are still about 2,000 people.

By 4 p.m., according to statistics, more than 100 people had chosen to become auxiliary police officers, and more than 300 young men and women had chosen to become volunteers.

The remaining 1,500-plus people chose to join the militia.

Looking at the dark, chaotic crowd in front of him, Li Mu felt a little helpless. Many of the more enterprising young people chose to become auxiliary police officers, while many passionate young men and women chose to become volunteers.

The rest, despite numbering over 1,500, are a mixed bag: homebodies, middle-aged veterans, young women who tire after just a few steps, and feisty middle-aged women... it's a real hodgepodge.

Fortunately, he had eight veterans to help him train, otherwise what would have happened!

Li Mu simply categorized the people: those who were too weak could not be trained much in a short time, so they were all assigned to logistical work, and most of them were women.

The remaining 800-plus people were all trained as frontline militia members.

I briefly spoke with everyone and we agreed to meet at the community's recreational square at 8:30 the next morning.

When I got home that evening, I quickly glanced at these people's profiles, and wow! They really are full of talented people.

Corporate executives, small business owners, programmers, designers, live streamers, online writers, cartoonists, teachers, accountants, lawyers... all sorts of professions are represented.

Fortunately, the militia was just a loose, semi-official organization, and it wasn't expected to develop high combat capabilities. Its main purpose was to cultivate discipline, integrate civilian resources, give people something to do while they were confined at home, and provide some self-rescue capability when the authorities couldn't attend to them.

Otherwise, if you stay cooped up at home all the time, who knows what kind of trouble you might cause? Having something to do will keep you from overthinking.

Chapter 490 Training

The following morning, after finishing their morning exercises and having breakfast, the militia members gradually gathered at the community's recreational square. By 8:30, Li Mu had roughly counted them and found that almost everyone had arrived.

There were more than 1,500 people in total. Those who were physically fit were assigned to the first team, which numbered more than 800, mostly men. Those who were physically weaker numbered more than 700 and were assigned to the logistics team, which was mostly women.

To facilitate management and training, Li Mu divided these people into fifteen teams, each with about one hundred people.

The first team consisted of more than 800 people, divided into eight squads, each led by one of the eight veterans who served as squad leaders.

The logistics team consisted of over 700 people, divided into seven squads. Based on each person's experience, Li Mu selected a group of people with management skills and interviewed them individually. Finally, he selected seven people with a good overall perspective to serve as squad leaders.

Each team is further divided into ten subgroups. The subgroup leader is selected by the members themselves. Everyone can freely choose to form a subgroup with people they get along with or who have similar temperaments.

After a noisy and chaotic morning, everyone finally chose their respective groups and teams.

At 2 p.m., more than a thousand people gathered again to begin simple formation training, mainly to cultivate everyone's discipline.

Whether it's the first team or the support team, everyone must participate.

After observing the training results, Li Mu was speechless; the training was far too lax.

Suddenly, a commotion erupted in the training group. Someone shouted, "He's mutated! He... he's going to turn into a zombie!"

The entire militia was in chaos. Li Mu felt a pang of anxiety and quickly ran over.

There lay a young man on the ground, his skin bluish-gray, his face contorted, his eyes growing increasingly cloudy, his body convulsing, and his mouth opening and closing, emitting low growls.

It was obvious that the young man on the ground, although not yet a zombie, had begun to mutate.

Li Mu immediately instructed the captain of the first squad: "Liu Wei, hurry up and get a rope, find a sturdy one, and tie the person up first."

The rope was quickly brought over. Liu Wei glanced at the young man on the ground who was about to turn into a zombie and whispered, "Captain, should we deal with him before he turns into a zombie?"

Li Mu glanced around and saw a sobbing figure running towards him from a distance; it was probably the young man's wife.

He whispered, "It's not a zombie yet, so let's tie it up and hand it over to the police!"

Liu Wei also saw the young woman running over, nodded silently, and together with Li Mu tied the young man on the ground up tightly.

Upon seeing her husband on the ground, the young woman collapsed and burst into tears. Li Mu sighed, instructing a female team leader from the logistics department to comfort the young woman while he and several others carried the mutating young man to the security guard's office at the entrance of the residential area.

The police arrived quickly and took away the young man who was about to turn into a zombie; his fate was sealed.
