It all started with the widespread zombification of the White Tiger Ridge Vault. After the twists and turns of being expelled, returned, and expelled again, the first zombies began to develop an extreme rejection of their damn shell.

They have extremely long-lived bodies, but they do not have the ability to match, and instead become sluggish and fragile, making it difficult for them to gain a foothold in the cruel wasteland, and can only live a life of isolation.

Longevity does not increase their intelligence, and the longevity they have is simply due to a drastic slowdown in metabolism, which prevents them from accumulating long-term experience. The brain's self-regulation causes long-term memories to fade away, and despite their best efforts to control them, they still struggle to learn the tricks of retaining them. Aside from a few unforgettable experiences, most of the time they have to go back for the same thing.

As zombies, they have to endure not only physical upheaval, but also identity issues. Discrimination from ordinary human beings, confusion about their own identity...... All of this gave them a very strong desire to cure zombification.

Therefore, when the Great Plague created the Rampaging Zombies and brought the White Tiger Ridge Vault back to the hands of these zombies by chance, the first thing they did after settling down was to study how to restore their bodies.

For a long time, they did not make much progress, and the poverty of theoretical knowledge and the backwardness of research conditions greatly limited their play. At the same time, the rampaging zombies that continue to expand their race have become a danger that cannot be ignored, and they must find a way to resolve it.

One day, the zombies suddenly found a self-healing fellow somewhere else. After investigation, they found that the reason why he regained his body after zombification was because he had cancer.

Due to the large quantities of anti-radiation drugs distributed in the Baihuling Shelter, there is very little one such case that anyone will suffer from radiation-related diseases again.

The zombie that healed itself was because there were signs of cancer before the change. The slowdown in metabolism has delayed the severe spread of cancer cells for many years. No one imagined that, as if fighting poison with poison had worked, zombification and cancer would disappear from him at the same time.

The zombies don't know the exact reason for this, they just want to replicate the phenomenon in this lucky person to themselves. So the research developed into two branches, one is to find a way to make zombies suffer from cancer. The other is to look for human beings with cancer and start with them to find answers.

In this way, the strong desire to become normal humans drove them to reach out to the hibernators at the bottom of the shelter.

"You're hibernating?" Hearing this, Xuanzang couldn't help but ask.

The long-haired woman nodded: "In addition to containing civilians fleeing the Doomsday War, the vault also seals a batch of hibernation pods in the lowest secret room. Most of our hibernators are ordinary people who can only afford cheap fees, and are not qualified to be placed in a fortress with a higher level of security. The company that provided the hibernation service had to fulfill its obligations at the urging of the family to ensure that the hibernation chamber survived the war. So they moved us to a shelter. ”

Wukong questioned, "But since you were in hibernation before, how did you know what happened?" ”

"It's all pieced together from the scattered memories of the various infected, not necessarily accurate, and it came out of my mouth, you can choose not to believe it. Anyway, those zombies woke me up, because the reason I was hibernated was precisely because I hoped that future generations would develop a technology to cure terminal cancer. She smiled with mixed emotions as she spoke. Can you imagine what I felt when I woke up? ”

When the cancer cells are almost overwhelmed. He hibernate with the hope of being cured, but he encounters war on the way. Finally hiding at the bottom of the shelter to survive, it is not the doctor of the brave new world who awakens him, but a group of abominable zombies in the wasteland, no matter who they are, they will be driven crazy by this tragic reality.

"It's a pity I didn't even have a chance to go crazy. After resuming my life activities. They injected me with a potion, which I had made in a strange way, and I was in a nightmarish state. My body was in a coma, but I was clearly aware of everything around me.

"At first, it was just sampling, and the extracted serum and excised tumor tissue were taken for strange experiments. Later, they were not satisfied with the results and went straight to me. I was given a lot of anti-radiation drugs. Forcibly applying radiation with nuclear waste, hordes of zombies surround me for non-stop observation, disposing of me as if I were an object. I could feel all the pain, but I didn't even have the ability to cut off my consciousness and avoid it. Their agents seemed to slow down the growth of cancer cells, which made my life an endless torture.

"Finally, one day, this group of scum has retribution. The Raging Zombies research project had an accident, and the Raging Zombies, which were used for live experiments, broke out of control and attacked the entire lab, and of course, me who was trapped in it. After biting me, it died suddenly, and the virus in its body reacted in a series of reactions to my hodgepodge body. The result is the monster you see now. ”

Nine-Tails glanced at the minced corpses behind him, shook his spirit, and asked, "If you can kill them in an instant, why are you still locked up in that room?" ”

The woman raised a hand and transformed it into a white rattan under their gaze, explaining, "At first, it wasn't that strong, but the body was able to give birth to such a rattan, and it was extremely adaptable to the environment. When they arrested me and found that there was no way to stop the growth of the rattans, they stuffed me back into the hibernation pod to stop my life activities. But I had an adaptation again, and freezing, fire, and poison didn't work, so the zombies had to bring in a gamma-ray machine.

"This time it worked, my cells died a lot, and only the part that replaced the bones remained. They retain minimal activity, remodeling themselves into near-inorganic forms, waiting for an opportunity. ”

Xuanzang thought back to the situation at the bottom and asked, "In this case, you generated those spores?" ”

"Yes, or rather, the cells that make me up do it all." "Life will always find a way," she said. ”

The spores that escaped from the hibernation pod gradually found hope for a resurgence. They grow again away from gamma rays, quietly dispersing more spores into the air. They try to infect living targets, because they are born in the human body, and they are the first to learn to exert influence on humans. They control the brains of the infected, drawing these available resources to the source and gathering strength.

Although they have become more and more powerful over the years, gamma rays are always a deadly threat, and they are unable to break through it to release the hibernation pod.

Until Xuanzang arrived.

"There's one thing I still don't understand." Xuanzang said, "The zombies have already discovered the abnormality underneath, and they must have seen that you have the possibility of escaping." In that case, why didn't they move out sooner? (To be continued......)
