30 Evolution of Zombies
In the shopping street, Hirano Toda looked at the claw marks on the overturned van and the completely shattered cab windshield, and said with some embarrassment:
"These people are really unlucky, if it weren't for this mutant zombie, maybe they would have managed to leave."
"Luck?
No, their luck is good enough. ”
Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses and refuted Hirano Toda's opinion with an expressionless face:
"Based on the traces left at the scene, it is likely that these people have come here for the second time to get food.
The first time they didn't drive, they just hastily took most of the goods from the shops.
There were a lot of people on their outing, and the survivors who were supposed to have gathered had passed through here while fleeing, so at someone's suggestion, everyone had some ingredients on their backs - just like we did yesterday.
The survivors may have found a hideout in the vicinity and intended to survive there.
So they decided to bring back the food from that shopping street one at a time, so as not to have to trek through the zombie-infested streets in search of food every time.
At this time, those survivors already had some basic understanding of the special surnames of zombies.
But they didn't speculate on the existence of mutant zombies, so they took a simple and crude way when making plans, and grabbed time with the slow-moving zombies.
As a result, it was precisely because of the sound of the car engine that a mutated zombie wandered around.
Although this can't be blamed entirely on their lack of consideration, but in the process of escaping, they only encountered ordinary zombies, and it was indeed a bit inappropriate to formulate a plan of action only for ordinary zombies.
If you have to wait until you have seen the mutant zombies with your own eyes before considering encountering the mutant zombies in your plan...... After ordinary people encounter a mutant zombie, they probably can't survive at all, unless the mutant doesn't notice him.
The reason why they are lucky enough is that they attracted a total of more than 2,000 zombies in the vicinity this time, and after arriving at the shopping street, when the food was filled with one-fifth, it failed due to the attack of mutant zombies.
Judging from the speed and combat effectiveness displayed by the mutant zombies, they have lived long enough.
Yesterday in the Fuji Academy High School, there were actually two mutant zombies.
The first one was wiped out by Mo Forget and Urushihara Ryuka, and the second one didn't meet us.
As we left the school building and headed to the parking lot, a second zombie who didn't know where to hide appeared in a classroom on the third floor.
- But it's also possible that in a classroom we haven't cleaned up, some normal zombie gathered under the loudspeaker has just finished mutating after we're gone.
Judging from the rate at which ordinary zombies 'evolve' into mutated zombies, there may have been four or five mutant zombies among the two thousand zombies today.
And those survivors were safe and sound, only to encounter a mutated zombie on the second drive to the shopping street, which can not be regarded as good luck. ”
After listening to Chu Xuan's analysis, Poison Island and the other aborigines of this world wiped a cold sweat.
Their original thoughts were similar to those of Hirano Toda, and they thought that those people were just unlucky, and that a team like their own had never encountered mutant zombies.
But the reality is that they almost encountered mutant zombies earlier than those "unlucky" survivors, and twice!
It's just that their luck is that they are mixed with Chu Xuan and the others, even if they really encounter the mutated zombies head-on this time, they didn't cause anyone to die.
Although they didn't say it, Poison Island and the others knew it in their hearts, and they all looked at Chu Xuan and them with a mixture of gratitude and emotion.
Even Poison Island wasn't sure she would be able to smash the licker's head without even a little injury - especially since she didn't know the licker's head and neck tilting back before he attacked with his tongue.
"By the way, Chu Xuan, you just mentioned the rate at which ordinary zombies 'evolve' into mutated zombies, can you elaborate on this aspect a little more?"
The cold and glamorous Poison Island raised his eyebrows and asked Chu Xuan.
She usually rarely speaks, but this time she was probably stimulated by the powerful combat power of the mutated zombies.
"When the zombie virus first broke out, maybe some people directly turned into mutant zombies, and this was the first batch.
Among the people who were bitten later, there should be some people who evolved into mutated zombies immediately after becoming ordinary zombies, and the time may be within a few hours, this is the second batch.
In addition, ordinary mutant zombies should also be able to gradually evolve over time, and become mutant zombies after breaking through the critical point, these belong to the last batch.
If you look at the speed and magnitude of the evolution of ordinary zombies into mutant zombies, their evolution ability is thousands of times stronger than that of humans.
Once we're settled, it's time to start researching zombies. ”
Chu Xuan seemed to admire the appearance of zombies, although many people still didn't know the nature of his mad scientist, but they still shivered involuntarily under the reflection of his weird glasses.
"Huh......"
Suddenly, Hirano Toda exclaimed, as if he had thought of something, and said to Chu Xuan with a pale face:
"Chu Xuan, if these zombies will continue to evolve over time, then won't they all evolve into mutated zombies in the end?
And the guy who is already a mutated zombie now, isn't it possible for him to evolve into a more powerful breed? ”
Chu Xuan shook his head lightly and explained to Hirano Toda and the other shocked team members:
"Secondary evolution or even tertiary evolution is possible, and these zombies may not only evolve the one with long tongues, and there may be new varieties of mutated zombies in the future.
However, even at the genetic level, the genes of zombies can support multiple or even infinite evolutions of individuals, but they must at least obey the laws of the energy code.
If they don't have enough material to support them, they can't have so much energy to evolve themselves.
In the final analysis, it is precisely to replenish the energy of the body's evolution that zombies will eat people.
This is their instinctive need for survival, just like carnivores such as lions and tigers know that they need to eat meat, and it is not that zombies have any special resentment towards the living.
If there is not enough food, then the zombies will not be able to evolve again, and may even gradually 'starve to death', so there is no need to worry about all zombies evolving. ”
