Chapter 513: Origin: Virus
"But humanity won't let itself be eliminated...... Whether it's an ordinary person or an alien, it's fundamentally different from a zombie......"
Speaking of this, a hint of discoloration flashed in Lucy's eyes, and she pulled the corners of her mouth a little reluctantly: "Zombies and humans are still opposites after all." Now it is human beings who struggle under the weight of zombies in order to fight for living space, but what about in the future? As long as the human race does not perish, the human race and the zombies will continue to fight for survival resources, right? ”
"Hmmm......"
This is indeed a common idea of human beings, and Ling Mo can't refute it.
Although humans are gradually gaining a foothold, the group evolution of zombies is also quietly underway.
At present, it seems that the group evolution of zombies is still controlled on a local scale, but in fact?
In areas where there is human activity, zombies are still evolving rapidly. So what will happen to the areas that are completely occupied by zombies?
The virus not only gives zombies a strong ability to adapt to the environment, but also allows them to choose different evolutionary directions according to different environments.
These are incomparable to human beings......
"Our current human superiority is intelligence and thermal weapons. But I always feel that maybe one day, the Alien will become the trump card in the hands of mankind, just like thermal weapons, even more powerful than thermal weapons. After all, in the final analysis, thermal weapons are still firepower strikes, but in the face of high-level zombies, the consumption is inevitably too great. On the contrary, it is the ability with different abilities, which is more suitable for dealing with those high-level zombies. ”
Lucy continued.
"These ...... I know it all. But what does it have to do with this potion? Ling Mo continued to ask.
"Every zombie has the possibility of becoming a high-level zombie, but is it possible for ordinary people to become a supernatural person?" Lucy said suddenly, and then glanced at Ling Mo with some meaning.
"You mean......" Ling Mo's eyes widened instantly. Turned his gaze to the potion.
Lucy nodded, "When he came up with the idea. I also find it hard to believe...... The appearance of the Anomalous. It's about the same time as the appearance of zombies. It's just that some people realize their sudden ability early, and some people ...... later Like us in FIRE, someone awakened on the second day of the cataclysm. ”
"Hmm......" This point also coincides with Ling Mo's conjecture.
"If you want to say that the appearance of the Anomalous has nothing to do with the virus, do you believe it?" Lucy stared at Ling Mo, then sighed, "At first, everyone found it hard to accept, this damn virus could actually be the source of our abilities?" But except for viruses. Nor can we find a more plausible explanation or explanation. ”
"I know what you mean, and I've heard something like that......"
Ling Mo said: "The general meaning should be to say...... All human beings were infected by the virus before the cataclysm, right? It's just that the virus at that time had not yet mutated...... When the virus began to evolve and mutate, most of the human race became zombies......"
"Yes, a small percentage of human beings may be completely immune to the virus that mutated in the early stage, or the virus in the body has not mutated...... All in all, not infected. And in this part, there is a part of the virus in the human body. Another mutation and evolution has taken place, giving these people abilities......" Lucy pursed her lips. Said with difficulty.
It's hard to get the Adepts to accept the "you're actually mutant" argument.
Most humans don't want to have anything to do with zombies, and this sudden rise of the race has completely destroyed them and made them lose everything.
I'm afraid that many people have had the experience of being scared to pee or even cry with fear, and the sense of despair that sees neighbors, even relatives and friends rushing at them and trying to tear them apart, I am afraid that no one can accept it calmly.
Some people may not have been able to get out of that shadow until now, so it is common for them to have personality distortions or something......
Lucy herself knows this very well.
She used to be an ordinary girl who loved to cry and laugh, holding a tissue box and watching late-night romance dramas......
But now the thought of her slowly mutating made her feel chills all over.
She secretly clenched her fists, calmed down for a moment, and continued: "After having this idea, the researcher asked, can you follow this idea to make ordinary people also become superpowers? At the very least, make the Adepts stronger, and grow stronger at the same rate of evolution as zombies. Only in this way can the Adeptus become the backbone of humanity and support humanity to survive in the ongoing battle for survival. ”
If he hadn't seen this bottle of potion, Ling Mo would definitely not believe it.
Everyone has ideas, but how can it be so simple to research them?
But now it seems that he is really a master in the people......
"This researcher is ......"
Lucy struggled for a moment before gritting her teeth and saying, "Originally...... The research is not completely done, I can't tell you. The mysterious reward I wanted to promise you was actually a promise. As long as the research is successful, I will definitely give you this potion. Even if I'm gone, ......."
She also seemed to realize that she had slipped her mouth, and continued with a dry cough, "But...... This time we FIRE are sorry for you, but you didn't pursue it, and I'm very grateful......"
"I know, if you have the absolute advantage, you won't be so easy to talk to, at least you will blackmail us......" Lucy glanced at Ling Mo very resentfully, "But it's still you." ”
Ling Mo didn't have the slightest self-consciousness on his face, but nodded: "Hmm! ”
"What you have in your hand now can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, and it can be regarded as a powerful recovery potion. Just like stimulants, it can instantly relieve pain and greatly improve physical strength. However, to put it bluntly, it is also to drink water to quench thirst and overdraft the body, which can be regarded as providing a means of saving everyone's life in the battle of life and death. Zhen Zhiyuan and they stole this, but they also gave themselves a heavy insurance. It's just that I didn't expect that they would even dare to take this kind of risk for the sake of profit......"
Lucy stared at the medicine bottle and sighed, "Who knows what the sequelae will be......"
"You've just met the researcher. His name is Mizaki and he is a pseudonym. I don't know anything else. ”
Listening to Lucy's words, Ling Mo's expression suddenly froze.
Such a coincidence?
When he shook hands with Mizaki before, the feeling that made Ling Mo's back tingle seemed to be back to his body.
He thought thoughtfully, clenched the bottle in his hand, and said to himself, "If it were him, this potion might not have been stolen by themselves......
Although it was just a feeling, this kind of taste like a man's back was rarely experienced by Ling Mo.
The last time I felt it, it was when he was extremely weak, and the first time his body faced a mutant zombie.
That oppressive liliang, beast-like danger, may be hidden under that smiling face......
"Since ......"
At this time, a somewhat stammering voice suddenly came from behind Ling Mo: "People can ...... Mutant ...... The zombie ...... Can you become human? ”
Ling Mo immediately turned around and found that Ye Lian was looking at himself and Lucy with a pair of big eyes open.
Due to the zombie instinct, although Ye Lian is very gentle, she has always kept her distance from Lucy.
She rarely looked at Lucy like that, let alone took the initiative to talk to her.
Even Ling Mo was taken aback, but what shocked him even more was the question raised by Ye Lian.
This little girl actually understood the conversation just now?
Moreover, she actually thinks about this kind of question......
"Zombies, human?!"
Lucy's eyes widened and her heart pounded.
For a moment, she almost thought she was exposed, and her hand involuntarily touched the machine gun to the side.
Think about Ye Lian's combat ability...... She immediately stopped again.
"You...... Why are you asking this......"
Lucy stared at Ye Lian with a complicated expression and asked nervously.
Although she was very suspicious of Ling Mo and the others, her mind had not jumped to the point of directly connecting them with the zombies.
On the contrary, because of "being a thief", he has been carefully guarding against being discovered by them. (To be continued......)
