Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Terrible Creeper
Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Pu Hitomi, how are you there, what is the situation, Pu Hitomi replied to me...... "I don't know how long it took for Kurohachi's voice to change from small to loud from the short-frequency communication device, and slowly became clearer
Pu Hitomi's location just now happened to be blocked by a huge billboard, so even the Black Eight at the commanding heights was blocked by this shooting blind spot, and he didn't see what was happening where Pu Hitomi was!
"I really can't say this, have the others retreated?" After a long time, Pu Hitomi came to his senses, although it had been a few minutes since the incident, but this kind of thing facing death, how many times will people encounter it in their lives, until now, Pu Hitomi's voice was still a little trembling
Although he felt that Pu Hitomi's tone was not quite right, Hei Hachi still answered Pu Hitomi's words truthfully: "Everyone else has already retreated to the camp, and I am about to evacuate the commanding heights!" ”
"Well, that's basically the case, you two should come back right away, I found something interesting in those mercenary units that were just wiped out!" Just as Pu Tong and Hei Ba were talking about the situation, Zhang Yi suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two and said directly
Although I don't know what interesting things Zhang Yi discovered, but to be able to make this genius boy so excited, he must have discovered something amazing, and now that the crisis has been basically lifted, Pu Hitomi and Hei Hachi quickly retreated to the camp!
The fierce battle between the Noah Group mercenary forces and the zombie group in the direction of the central axis road will continue in a short time, but the final result must be the defeat of the mercenaries, which Zhang Yi is very sure of, no matter what killer weapon they have, unless they can completely suppress the enemy in terms of quality and quantity, it is almost no different from a fool's dream to win!
When Pu Hitomi returned to the camp, the sky had gradually brightened, and almost all the circumstances of the battle throughout the night were expected by Zhang Yi, except for the four survivors who would never return, the operation was basically smooth!
"Well, we've found some very useful information from the mercenaries we've calculated to eliminate, except for some documents that require high-level clearance to open are still being cracked, and now we know most of the situation!" After seeing Pu Tong and other key members of the camp come back safe and sound, Zhang Yi said with some excitement: "Judging from the information I have obtained so far, this operation of the Noah Group is basically the same as my initial analysis!" ”
"Could it be that the zombie virus is really evolving again, and they are collecting evolved virus samples and survivors' serums, as well as testing their biochemical weapons?" Faced with Zhang Yi's excitement, Pu Tong immediately said all the three situations that Zhang Yi analyzed at night
Hearing Pu Tong's words, Zhang Yi made an OK gesture and said: "That's right, that's true, from these reports, I can basically analyze why Noah Group has not solved this virus for a long time and has resisted the pressure of the international community, and also wants to make the Eighth Continent a zombie continent, because there is a ...... for the reason!" ”
Just when everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi said in a flat tone: "Because the benefits that can be obtained from the evolution of the zombie virus in the end are far more important than those of us, the inhabitants of the Eighth Continent, and even the entire Eighth Continent!" ”
"So what is the ultimate evolutionary direction of this zombie virus, isn't it to make all humans become zombies?" Although I don't know what Zhang Yi wants to express, Pu Tong more or less understands some things, as the world's largest interest organization, money or power is no longer important to them!
If these people want to, the Noah Group can make the world financial system collapse in an instant, if they want to, they can plunge the whole world into endless wars, if they want to, they can subvert the regime of any country, if they want to......
But what are the top executives of Noah Group thinking now, Pu Tong really doesn't know, and Pu Tong doesn't know how to think about the thinking of these high-ranking people!
"Well, I don't know about this, because the information is limited, but if we think about it in one direction, this zombie virus can reactivate the dead human or animal corpses, what does this prove, which is the so-called resurrection!" Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Zhang Yi still had to tell the truth, because the current information in his hands was far from allowing Zhang Yi to analyze more things!
After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Qiu Yan immediately put forward a different opinion: "If cell activation can allow the people of Noah Group to develop an elixir, isn't it too fantastical, if human cells are activated for a long time, there will be no so-called metabolism, all cells will not age and die, and new cells will continue to proliferate, and the final result is to make human beings become a complete monster!" ”
"I think this is the main reason for the outbreak of this catastrophe, because the Noah Group did not fully grasp the mechanism of this virus, which would lead to such a situation, but if you don't mention the side effects of this virus being able to kill humans and make them become zombies, its cell activation effect is already obvious, don't ask me why zombies don't multiply into monsters, because continuous cell activation can keep the corpse moving, and the dead corpse will not produce new cells!" Qiu Yan's words were not unreasonable, Zhang nodded and immediately explained
Hearing Zhang Yi and Qiu Yan arguing about those highly professional knowledge here, Pu Tong couldn't help but cough and said, "Don't care about the elixir for now, I just want to know what the Noah Group is doing to capture those survivors?" ”
"Uh, how can I say it, you have survived in such a virus-filled place for so long, why haven't there been corpses, I think the researchers of Noah Group are planning to find antibodies in the serum of these survivors, once there are antibodies that can resist the virus, the side effects of the virus will be minimized, and their final idea will be realized!" For this point, although it is only Zhang Yi's speculation, Zhang Yi believes that this is already the most reliable answer, otherwise there is no reason for Noah Group to arrest the survivors
After a pause, Zhang Yi continued: "Let's not talk about these things, in the battle just now, I used video capture technology to intercept a lot of battle pictures of the kind of biochemical weapons released by Noah's Group, let's talk about this matter, more information has not been cracked yet, and I don't think there will be too much usable information in that memory!" ”
Saying this, Zhang Yi's hands quickly tapped on the virtual keyboard, and in a short time, video clips appeared on the projection screen!
"The monsters they unleashed, in terms of behavior and form, let's call them crawlers, but the combat ability of crawlers should be C+-level, because when creepers and other types of C-class zombies fight head-on, crawlers do not occupy an overwhelming advantage!" Zhang Yi said as he operated the controller of the projection screen
As he spoke, Zhang Yi had already broadcast the video materials that he thought were useful just now, and at first it was a frontal battle between the creeper and the rammer!
The Creeper outgrew the Impactor, but was slightly less powerful than the Impactor's right arm, but the battle was over quickly, and the Creeper and the Long Tongue and the Monkey were fought!
Although the results of these three battles were all won by the creeper in a very short time, it is not difficult to see that although the creeper has the strength of the impactor, the medium-range attack ability of the long tongue and the speed of the monkey, the creeper is not as good as the opponent, and the only reason for the final victory is that the comprehensive strength of the creeper far exceeds these three C-level zombies!
"Although the squirting monster and the fat man also belong to the C-level zombies, they are not the kind of zombies that need to rely on physical fitness to win, so the creeper should not have the explosive ability of the fat man and the characteristics of the spewing monster to spit strong acid!" After reading all the impact information, Zhang Yi said slowly: "Judging from the above information, when the creeper faces more than two C-level zombies, it does not have the ability to defeat the opponent, and even faces the risk of being counter-killed, but the interesting thing is that the creeper has an ability that other C-level zombies do not have!" ”
"Evolution?" Everyone watched all the video materials, and finally Gao Rui said with some surprise
In fact, not only Gao Rui, but other people have more or less seen some clues, but Gao Rui's mouth is about to say it!
Zhang Yi clearly captured the appearance of the creeper when he just came out of the incubator through the monitors installed on it, and the appearance of the creeper's body after devouring a large number of zombies during the battle!
"I think this is the most terrifying thing about creepers, it can devour other zombies to achieve its own evolution, so my final rating of creepers is B-level zombies, of course, if there are heavy weapons, we can still destroy crawlers who have evolved to B-level zombies!" Soon Zhang Yi said the results of his analysis
Hearing this, Gao Rui asked stunned: "But it's not right, if a large number of zombies are devoured by creepers, won't this monster evolve endlessly, why will it come to the end of B-rank?" ”
"I'll explain that to you!" Qiu Yan, who had been silent when Zhang Yi was resting, suddenly said: "The evolution of the creeper is actually the process of combining high-quality DNA in the process of biological evolution, although the creeper will evolve by devouring other zombies, but only high-quality DNA can provide it with evolutionary needs, and a large number of repeated DNA will be slowly digested even if it is ingested by the creeper, and will not be added to the optimized gene chain. There are only two possibilities for a creeper to evolve again, the first is that it ingests DNA that is higher or at least the same level than it, and the second is to prey on us humans who are infected with the virus but have not become zombies with genetic characteristics! ”
