“Ling Mo, you… are you crazy?” Su Qianrou stared wide-eyed and asked.
To create a Zombie perfect body? It was hard to imagine such words coming from a human’s mouth.
However, Ling Mo turned to look at her calmly: “No, in fact, I’ve been thinking about this for a long ti. A very long ti…”
So long, that it started from the day he found Ye Lian.
What he should have been doing all along was not turning Ye Lian back into a human.
But rather, letting things take their course, allowing her to, as a Zombie, once again beco a creature that evolves to perfection.
…
Facts proved that Ling Mo was right. The new virus, transmitted through the air, quickly shrouded the entire Miracle Base at an astonishing speed.
Outside the window was a sea of red; hiding inside the building only bought them a little ti. Five minutes after retreating into the Laboratory Building, so Survivors who hadn’t been infected before suddenly began to scream in agony, struggle, and fall unconscious.
Those who didn’t pass out were knocked out by Xia Na and the others.
At this mont, Ling Mo’s earlier decisive order to retreat showed its wisdom… The earliest batch of infected Survivors began to wake up one after another.
Before Wu Pengfei could get up, more infected persons woke up.
So of them reacted similarly to Wu Pengfei… At first, they were a bit terrified, then confused, and then realized that they didn’t seem to have any abnormalities from the Infection, but instead had beco stronger.
But there were exceptions.
An infected person with a Superpower woke up and suddenly let out a low growl from his throat, and then his muscles swelled violently.
Wu Pengfei recognized him; this man was originally an Enhancent ability superhuman. When using his Superpower at full strength, he could make both Arms as thick as an average person’s thigh, and with his strength alone, he could drag a car by hand. Carrying a Rocket Launcher on his shoulder and firing it repeatedly was nothing to him.
But now, his condition seed a bit off… He kept roaring, his muscles swelling ever more terrifyingly, and soon, in the entire hall, he beca an exceptionally conspicuous presence.
Over two ters tall, a physique like a Monster, and his bloodshot eyes flashed with madness.
He glanced left and right, suddenly let out a loud roar, and charged at Ling Mo.
Puff!
A blood hole appeared in the center of his forehead. He hadn’t even reached Ling Mo before he crashed to the ground.
“As expected, instinct is to eliminate anomalies first.” Ling Mo finally understood why those Zombies had always been particularly interested in him before… They claid it was because he was special, but in reality, it was the virus driving them to eliminate him as an anomaly.
But once Zombies reached the Advanced stage, they had the ability to think for themselves, so so would attack, while others would choose not to. But these new virus infected persons would not.
“Ah!” Xu Shuhan imdiately let out a scream, “Why didn’t you say there was such a possibility!”
“Is there a need to say it?” Ling Mo said solemnly. “Under the Infection of the virus, this kind of situation will always occur.”
Just like those who mutated into Zombies, and those who beca superhumans. Infection by the virus carries risks.
“You knew all along.” Lucy gave him a deep look and said.
Ling Mo didn’t speak… nor did he need to.
When Xiao Bai was infected, Ling Mo had already “personally” experienced this virus. It was indeed risky, but humans had no choice.
The others understood this as well. When they saw their companion killed, everyone still maintained a calm attitude.
“You should know your situation now… and you’ve seen what the virus might bring us.” Ling Mo looked at them and said loudly, “Now you know what you should do, right?”
The infected persons looked at each other. At this mont, Wu Pengfei finally took a deep breath and spoke up: “We’re still alive! Whatever we did before, we’ll keep doing! Anyone who wakes up with aggression, kill them. The rest, let them figure out their situation themselves.”
“We survived the first ti under the virus Infection, and we can survive the second.” Wu Pengfei said.
After saying this, he finally felt confident enough to face Ling Mo directly. But at this mont, he no longer felt tangled about friendship, or that the other was far stronger than himself. He only knew that Ling Mo had made him see himself clearly.
If you have humanity, you’re human… No matter how many tis you evolve, humanity still exists, and hasn’t perished.
“Don’t you think what you said is a bit idealistic?” Xia Na walked up to Ling Mo and said slyly.
Ling Mo blinked: “When did I say that?”
Xia Na stared at him for a while, then smiled slightly and pointed to her head: “You didn’t say it, but you thought it.”
Beep beep beep…
The Communicator rang, and Ling Mo, as if he’d been waiting for it, imdiately answered.
“How is it?” Ling Mo asked.
Yuwen Xuan’s voice ca from the other end: “Ahahaha, it’s done, that Spider is willing to negotiate with you. I think this has disrupted her plans too.”
Ling Mo pondered for a mont, then shook his head: “No, it hasn’t. She was waiting for to seek her out for negotiations, so she deliberately waited until those Monsters entered our sight before taking action. That was her signal to .”
“Uh… how do you know?” Yuwen Xuan asked.
Ling Mo smiled: “Because she already knew.”
Perfect body, Spider Queen, Central City-there must be a connection between these three.
The Spider Queen made preparations in advance, definitely because she already knew about the virus upgrading.
And what Ling Mo wanted was the real Key to the perfect body. This thing, the Spider Queen must know where it is, or… what it is.
“By the way, did you get Chuchu?” Ling Mo suddenly asked.
Yuwen Xuan laughed as well: “Not that easy, I’ll leave it to you, okay?”
“Sure.” After Ling Mo finished, he changed the subject, “Are you ready to et your old acquaintances?”
To negotiate with Zombies, you must et with Zombies. This, which used to be unthinkable and even extrely repulsive to humans, after this second Infection by the virus, would surely make their attitudes soften a bit.
This was the purpose of Ling Mo’s order to retreat.
Let so humans watch the infected persons wake up, and then let these infected persons watch these humans mutate.
Only with such a simple and direct thod could they realize more quickly that humans themselves were no longer the humans they used to be…
