Chapter 24: The Relationship Between Zombies and Viruses
Ye Mo was called by Populus Hu, and Lin Fei and Ma Rulong reacted differently. Lin Fei was worried that he would be punished, but Ma Rulong said that Brother Ye would definitely be rewarded.
After coming back, Ye Mo became a third-class soldier and got ten yuan, Lin Fei and Ma Rulong were very happy, and they both said that he deserved these rewards.
Other genetic warriors have had mixed reactions to this. Some people are envious, some people admire, some people are jealous, and Li Qi, Jiang Jun, and Han Na are disdainful. The three of them asserted that Ye Mo was just lucky enough to encounter a useless zombie, and if it was them, he could kill it.
Ye Mo didn't care much about the villain's remarks, he just thought they were farting.
Lin Fei was very angry, Ye Mo was very heavy in her heart, and she didn't allow them to slander, so she almost rushed up to fight with them.
Ma Rulong went to sleep again after Ye Mo was fine, and he had to recuperate from his injuries.
The next day, everyone got up early and came to the training room to receive the teaching of Populus euphratica.
"Yesterday, there was an unexpected incident, Ye Mo and the three were attacked on the farm. Fortunately, the crisis has passed, and everyone is fine. Hu Yang brought yesterday's events in one sentence.
Then he said: "The time planned for the recruits to study is half a month. The first item of study is cultivation. Everyone modifies their genes and gets cheats, and what they achieve depends on their own efforts and talents, and the instructor can't ensure it. β
The recruits still understand this very well, and the cultivation is personal, and the master leads the door.
"Next, there are two more items, namely the knowledge of zombies and the knowledge of medical care. The latter is one of the survival skills, but it's very simple, this instructor doesn't bother to teach these, you can just teach yourself. Therefore, there is only one kind of content left in our teaching, which is the background knowledge of zombies. Hu Yang said.
Ye Mo secretly thought: The teaching time for recruits is arranged for fifteen days, which seems to be a long time, but it is intended to learn, not teach.
Instill teaching content, a little faster and a day can be solved.
But it takes time for a genetic warrior to learn the cheats. Unlike the previous genetic warriors, they don't have much time and need a little time buffer.
"Number one, what is a zombie?" Hu Yang Road.
Ye Mo and the others were still thinking about it, Han Na raised her hand to signal, and after getting the instructor's approval, she said happily: "Zombies, commonly known as the living dead, are creatures that can still act after being planted with a virus, and their general characteristics are, low IQ, attacking humans, strong vitality, etc.!" β
After Han Na finished speaking, she smiled and waited for Hu Yang's comments, as if an elementary school student wanted to get the teacher's approval after answering.
Han Na's explanation, the first half is right, zombies are the living dead who have been infected with the virus. But there is only one characteristic that this instructor wants you to remember, zombies can evolve. As they evolve, zombies' IQ, attack, vitality, defense, and so on can all be improved. Hu Yang said.
"Report to the instructor, this is impossible. Zombies are dead creatures, without consciousness, how can they evolve? Han Na was puzzled and asked.
Ye Mo thought it was funny, this is not a traditional classroom, the instructor can ask questions, the soldier asks, who will answer with you?
Sure enough, Hu Yang was very displeased and shouted: "Do you think that this instructor is a lecturer and is responsible for answering your questions?" You just have to remember why zombies evolve. If you really want to be more serious, this instructor asks you, why can't zombies evolve? β
Han Na was so angry with the instructor that she was so frightened that she didn't want to say any more, but when she heard the instructor ask a rhetorical question, she said again: "When people die, they are unconscious." Without consciousness, how can you evolve into a high IQ? β
Her words were agreed by many people, and Jiang Jun and Li Qi nodded while listening. Others, however, are a little confused. Lin Fei and Ma Rulong knew that zombies could indeed evolve, but why they could evolve couldn't be said.
Hu Yang sighed, this is also a genetic warrior, she gave them the opportunity to discuss, and they didn't bother to pay attention to it if they were ordinary soldiers.
She saw that Ye Mo looked like he had his own thoughts, so she said to him: "Ye Mo first class, what do you think, say it and share it with everyone." β
Private of the first class? Hearing such a title, Han Na obviously became jealous and angry: Why did he meet all the good opportunities, and he was promoted to a first-class soldier after only one day, ** on a rocket!
Ye Mo felt that the first-class soldier was good, and suddenly pulled away from the others in terms of rank, he secretly wrote down Han Na, and thought: When I get mixed with the young sergeant, I will have you good-looking at that time!
After all, a first-class private is still a soldier, not an officer, and if Han Na has any displeasure, he can't express it too much. After being promoted, Ye Mo was much more confident.
He said: "The opinion of Private Han Na is obviously wrong, and it is very naΓ―ve. She believes that zombies become after death, which is ridiculously wrong. I would ask rhetorically, why was she sure that the zombies were dead? β
Hearing Ye Mo scolding herself for being naΓ―ve, Han Na was so angry that her face turned green, and she couldn't wait to go over and fight him alone. But when Ye Mo asked, she couldn't answer, and her face was suddenly hot and embarrassed.
yes, why do you say that zombies are dead?
Han Na has never been in close contact with zombies, nor has she become a zombie, she can't answer. Without investigation, there is no voice.
Ye Mo, a word blocked Han Na's mouth.
But what he wants to say continues: "Zombies can evolve, what should be in terms of their essence, what are zombies?" Zombies are living or dead humans, alienated creatures that have been infected with the virus. In the final analysis, it is the strength of the virus that has nothing to do with whether it is conscious or not. β
Lin Fei nodded while listening, feeling that Brother Ye saw the problem very thoroughly, and was more than ten million times better than Han Na, who could only conjecture.
Hu Yang found out that Ye Mo was different yesterday, and today he deliberately wanted to hear his thoughts, but he just heard the highlights, but found that Ye Mo did not go on in depth. Viruses are the root cause of zombie evolution, but why do zombies evolve? He still didn't make sense.
Ye Mo complained bitterly in his heart, I am just a scumbag, I know that these are already the limit, how can I talk about it further? He looked at the poplar as if asking for help.
Hu Yang immediately understood that the guy had no goods in his stomach, so he had to continue: "Ye Mo's words just now are naturally right. But the instructor would like to add that viruses are the source of zombie evolution. You may be in school, the virus is very survivable, and the ability to evolve is also strong. As long as the virus doesn't die, the zombies won't disappear. β
If the virus doesn't die, the zombies won't disappear, Ye Mo firmly remembered this sentence and knew that this was the root cause of the zombie outbreak.
"Just now Han Na said that without consciousness, zombies cannot evolve, this sentence is obviously wrong. It doesn't matter if the zombie is a dead creature or not. Zombies are just the vectors of the virus, and it is the virus that controls the zombies. Do you think, zombies used to be people, and people would chase and kill people? Hu Yang asked.
Although Han Na was annoyed, she felt that what the instructor said was right. Zombie bites must be driven by the virus. But she didn't admit that Ye Mo's insights were better than her, in her opinion, Ye Mo was simply inferior to herself!
"Instructor, I have a question." Ye Mo said suddenly.
Han Na glared at him fiercely, the matter has been explained, what do you mean by asking now?
"Say!" Populus didn't mind.
"As you said just now, it is the virus that drives people, so people who have been poisoned for a long time may evolve. What if some zombies defeated the virus and drove the virus to evolve? Isn't that quite terrifying? Ye Mo said with some concern.
The military does not have clear information on how far the virus controls zombies and evolves, but it is definitely a hundred times more powerful than mutant zombies.
If the zombie defeats the virus and controls it to evolve a stronger virus, wouldn't it be terrifyingly strong?
Everyone couldn't help but shudder when they thought of this, that kind of scene was really unimaginable. Han Na secretly thought: My God, Ye Mo's brain is so good, with him, how can I get ahead? She stared at Ye Mo resentfully for a few moments, thinking about the vicious means to deal with him.
"Then let's hope that the zombies don't defeat the virus." Populus euphratica muttered to herself, not daring to think in that direction.
