The two left on the motorcycles as usual. Only this ti they had large backpacks on their backs.
Instead of taking the usual route they normally used when going to the city center to hunt for supplies in huge malls or shops, they went the opposite direction.
Luckily for them, people had beco so used to their escapades that nobody paid attention to them anymore.
Unless they ca back with a load of supplies like they did the previous day, then people would get curious while others got greedy.
However, after what they had done to those thugs, no one was curious about what they brought ho anymore. Unless one was ignorant and wanted to experience a pain that was worse than death, no one would co provoking them.
That was the reason both Leng Pan and her husband felt reassured leaving the elders and Lu Tao behind for a while.
The motorcycles weaved their way through the streets littered with abandoned cars that had been left with so running but had eventually ran out of gasoline.
Others had been abandoned in the middle of the road and so even had been totalled by the falling teorites.
So were gore sights to watch because so people had still been in those cars when teorites fell on top of them and crashed them into at paste.
It was a sight that would leave a scar in the mind of anyone who saw it. This was a sight that Leng Pan had not seen all this ti inside the city.
Was it really possible that other places had cars crashed into scrap tal but the city center didn’t? That did not make sense at all.
Sothing was fishy sowhere. Soone must have either had control over those falling teorites, or the city had been cleaned imdiately after the first wave of teorites.
Leng Pan leaned more towards the second option because soone controlling falling teorites was unimaginable.
But, why did they do that? Who cleaned up the unbearable scenes in the city and what was their motive?
The further away they were from the city, the worse the situation looked. She did not understand, were the teorites organized in a way that would ruin so places completely while others remained in with minimum damage?
The two had planned to switch from motorcycles to a car after pulling a certain distance from the city but it looked like that wasn’t going to happen.
They would have to make their journey on motorcycles. Since each person was on their own bike, they couldn’t talk. Hence, Leng Pan decided that she would discuss the situation with Lu Zhen once they took a break or arrived at their destination.
As they passed through so densely populated towns, Leng Pan had expected to find many survivors there. But the number of zombies chasing after them was unbelievable.
There were way too many zombies. It looked like many people in these areas didn’t survive the first wave of mutation.
Also, it looked like the place with a large number of fallen teorites also had a proportional number of zombies.
In that case, it looked like what causes the zombie mutation wasn’t sothing in the air but was instead inside the teorites.
It should be another gas similar to what the teorite Leng Pan had kept in the space emits.
The purple gas in the teorite helps to enhance superpowers while the gas in the other ones causes mutation.
After the process, one would either gain superpowers or turn into a zombie.
While it was intriguing to understand how humans gained superpowers, and Leng Pan was sure that research centers had already been set up to conduct studies and understand how a human gained superpowers so that so selfish people in power could benefit, she preferred to take a different direction.
She would have loved to know what type of immune system or antibodies the people who had remained ordinary without being affected by the teorites like Bai Yinyin had.
How were they able to remain intact without being affected by the gas that ca with the teorites? Maybe if this little detail was understood, there might be hope of reversing the situation and curing people who had yet to mutate into zombies completely in the future.
Unfortunately, people were always selfish and did what benefitted them the most. Especially people in power. They will pump resources into researching things that can bring them wealth and fa.
She was sure that there were already people in governnt who had already started with research of the zombie virus but were not doing it to help the public.
Instead, they were using resources worth a lot of money to research the transfer of superpowers or forceful awakening.
In the first military base, Commander Qui had put together a team of researchers, most of whom had participated in the experint on soldiers before.
Soldiers with special abilities such as Blaze, Vortex, Raze, Silk and the rest had been used as experintal subjects to create super soldiers who could contend with advanced weapons.
This had happened long before the apocalypse and when the gas produced by the teorites entered their bodies, it enhanced the abilities they already had, which is why their current strength was higher than that of other superpower users.
The sa research team that had conducted that experint was now holed up in an underground laboratory with more advanced equipnt than the ones they used before.
Unlike when they used soldiers who had volunteered as test subjects because they had been told that their sacrifice was to strengthen the security of the country, the test subjects now were different.
That was because the people locked in isolated rooms in the underground lab were different types of superpower users.
Moreover, there were also zombies at different stages of mutation locked in cages and others chained to the wall.
If anyone stumbled upon this place by mistake, they would be absolutely horrified. That was because the superpower users weren’t just locked in solitary rooms, there were so chained to the wall too just like the zombies.
