Chapter 90: The Monster System
On the subsequent road, Lin Xi gave Xia Qianzhu a report on his research and speculation about "instinct".
As he expected, among the troops, at least the grassroots soldiers, there really is no information related to "instinct", this may be because the degree of evolution of the Inhumans contained by the military is not high, and no one has shown signs of madness for the time being, but in the same way, these Inhumans are indeed as he expected, no one has taken the initiative to reveal the information that they may go out of control at any time, so that Xia Qianzhu After listening to his briefing, his face was full of shocked expressions!
"Sir!"
The soldier, who had only one arm left, stood up abruptly and saluted Lin Xi seriously, "On behalf of all comrades, I thank you, your frankness may save many lives in the future!" ”
It was only at this time that there was really a hint of respect in his eyes when he looked at Lin Xi.
"It's not that serious."
Lin Xi waved his hand boredly, "Maybe your regimental headquarters already knew about it." ”
The military also has its own aliens, listening to Xia Qianzhu, the most powerful one of them is still in the high position of the deputy commander, although I don't know if the original deputy commander happened to awaken, or was promoted to the deputy commander after awakening and evolving, but if it is said that the existence of instinct, these middle and senior leaders of the military really did not know anything in advance, then he absolutely did not believe it, and what was really concealed was estimated to be these civilians and ordinary soldiers at the bottom, isn't this also the usual means of official stability maintenance?
But no matter what, being able to report the existence of instinct is definitely a great achievement for Xia Qianzhu and the rest of the surviving soldiers, even if it is to gag their mouths and prevent them from publicizing it, the military will give them a heavy reward.
Lin Xi has seen their injuries, several people are the same as Xia Qianzhu, they are destined to be crippled, in such a world, the survival of a disabled person is difficult, it is conceivable, Lin Xi did this, it can be regarded as repaying the favor, and repaying the life-saving grace of these soldiers in another way.
After exchanging information about the Inhumans on both sides, Lin Xi shifted his interest to monsters again.
"Hey, I said Xiao Xia, since the human Inhumans have a hierarchy, then there should be monsters too, like that zombie or something, I think it's obviously divided into several levels."
Zombies are, of course, hierarchical.
In terms of the zombies that Lin Xi has seen so far, the kind of zombies who like to lie on the ground and pretend to be corpses are undoubtedly the lowest, it is okay to bully and bully ordinary people, but if you meet any stranger, you will only be beaten violently, and ninety percent of the millions of zombies in Star City are this kind of cannon fodder;
A little stronger, is the kind of rapid mutated zombie that was burned to death by Wu Qiuli, it was evenly matched with him at the time, but now that he has absorbed the genes of the dragon wolf, according to Lin Xi's own estimates, it should not be too difficult to kill one in a heads-up situation, the number of such zombies is about 100,000;
The next level is the kind of blood-colored zombies that made a group of them want to die before, even the current Lin Xi didn't dare to pat his chest and say that he could get back to this field, this kind of zombie is already a very high-end force in the zombie group, the number is about 10,000;
As for the highest zombie, there is no doubt that it is the white corpse king, which is already an exaggerated and unimaginable combat power.
"Zombie ......"
Xia Qianzhu pondered for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "This name is appropriate, this kind of monster is indeed very similar to the zombies in Hollywood movies......
Then he subconsciously pursed his lips, as if he remembered something terrible.
He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "However, in our land, their official names are not called this, and the researchers of our army have also conducted relevant research, and finally decided to divide these dead corpses according to the hierarchy of zombies in folklore......
Those who like to lie on the ground and pretend to be corpses are called ambushing corpses;
Those who walk around when they have nothing to do are called walking corpses;
Zombies whose blood is as bloody as snakes are called wandering corpses;
On top of the wandering corpse, it should be the corpse king that Lin Xi has seen.
In Xia Qianzhu's narrative, the miserable white color of its body should be an indestructible bone armor, so it borrowed the legendary name of immortality; In the information from other cities, there was also a corpse king who was as black as iron and had a pair of demonic wings, which was named Flying Yaksha.
"Judging from the information sent to us these little minions, the ambushed corpse should correspond to the human alien, as for the other walking corpses, wandering corpses, and immortal bones, whether they also correspond to the level after the human superpowers, I don't know."
Xia Qianzhu spread his hands, this sentence "I don't know" can be regarded as a summary of his explanation.
"Corpses correspond to Inhumans?"
Lin Xi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
He always thought that with the huge number of corpses, if there was really a correspondence, it should also correspond to ordinary humans, but he didn't expect to be classified as a stranger, but in this way, doesn't it mean that zombies of the same level are not opponents of humans?
"Maybe it's those white coats who comfort themselves and find confidence."
It's just that when Lin Xi said this kind of question, Xia Qianzhu obviously only knew it, but he didn't know why, he just shrugged his shoulders and said such a black humor.
There is no doubt that this young man is not optimistic about the future of mankind, and can even be said to be quite pessimistic.
"Whatever."
Lin Xi smiled, stretched out his right hand, and the palm of his hand suddenly mutated into the form of a wolf's claw in the air, and grabbed through a window next to him, and grabbed the heavenly spirit cover of a corpse behind the window.
Grabbed the ambushed corpse with one claw, Lin Xi turned around and said loudly, "Everyone work hard, this group of zombies seems to have recovered and started to move again, we have to rush to the supply point as soon as possible." ”
After shouting, he looked at Xia Qianzhu again, "Let's go on, since these are ...... Let's call it zombies according to the Chinese saying, since these zombies have a hierarchy, do they also have mutant beasts? ”
"Yes, but there are too many types of mutant beasts, and humans have basically lost control of the wild now, you know, so the division is relatively much rougher."
"For example?"
"According to the degree of evolution, those most basic mutant beasts are called alien beasts, like the mutant rabbits common in this area are typical of alien beasts, alien beasts and aliens and corpses can barely be counted as a level; Above is the predator in the mutant beast, called the fierce beast, in fact, it is the same as the previous beast or something, that is, the same concept, carnivore, by preying on other foreign beasts for a living; If the beast continues to evolve and has basic wisdom, it can be called a spirit beast, and there may be more, but who knows how those white coats are divided......"
Xia Qianzhu scratched his head and said very simply,
"But I think you also know that this kind of hierarchical division is very unreliable, especially among mutant beasts, they are not a species, is there such a calculation? This is actually the same as the previous nature, like elephants and hippos, they are all herbivores, and by analogy by today's standards, they can only be counted as exotic beasts, but can you say that they must not be able to beat lions and tigers? In the future, when you go to the wild, don't use this standard as a benchmark for dividing combat effectiveness, otherwise you won't even know how you died...... Trust me, this is a lesson that my buddy paid for his life! ”
