Fu Zhengde clicked on the laptop, and another report was shown on the wall.
"Although the trigger of the DNA mutation was the zombie virus, after the mutation process is plete, the zombie virus will be absorbed by the mutant’s body, and they won’t carry any virus anymore."
"Professor Fu, are you saying that they won’t be in any danger?" Feng He asked.
Fu Zhengde nodded and replied, "Actually, the risk is not after the mutation but during the mutation process."
He glanced at everyone and continued, "As we all know, ability-users emerged after the apocalypse. But what triggered them to awaken their abilities was none other than the zombie virus."
"From this point, ability-users were in a state where the mutation was just starting. The higher their level, the more energy they had, and the faster the mutation process."
After he said this, Huang Qi asked, "Professor Fu, you mean that all ability-users are mutants who haven’t finished their mutation and carry a risk of death?"
"Indeed," Fu Zhengde nodded. After a moment of pause, he added, "While all ability-users are mutants, there are special cases of ordinary people mutating as well."
"But unlike ability-users, mutations without triggering abilities have a lower risk of death, and most of the mutants go unnoticed. Even if they plete their mutation, there won’t be many changes in their DNA sequences."
When he finished his words, Fu Zhengde returned to his seat.
A while later, Xun Che said, "Due to this discovery, I want to recategorize the races. Right now, we have ability-users, ordinary people, zombies, mutant animals, and mutant plants."
"In the future, we will categorize ability-users as mutants and ordinary people as humans. Mutant animals will be called mutant beasts, and mutant plants will stay as they are. Zombified animals will be categorized as zombie beasts."
After he said this, he looked at everyone and asked, "Are there any questions, suggestions, or objections?"
Everyone thought for a while and said, "We have no questions, suggestions, or objections."
Xun Che nodded and continued, "Good. Now that we have recategorized the races, it’s time to decide on rank and grade."
With his words, the 2 secretaries stood up and distributed the documents to everyone. After everyone read the documents, Xun Che continued, "These are the rules for grading mutant ranks that I set after discussing them with the Vice mander."
"As everyone can see in the report, mutants not only awaken abilities but also innate talents. Before, we only ranked ability-users based on their level and the attack power of their abilities."
"But after the experiments, we discovered that a mutant’s attack power is not based on the type of ability alone, but is also affected by innate talents."
"Since everyone already knows about the variety of abilities, I won’t explain it anymore. As for innate talent, there are a total of 3 types."
"Enhanced physical abilities are categorized as the Fighter class. Elemental abilities are categorized as the Magician class. Any type of ability that can provide healing is categorized as the Healer class."
After a moment of silence, Fu Shenghan raised his hand and asked, "mander, what about mutants who awakened both types?"
"I awakened a speed ability, so I should be included in the Fighter class. But I also awakened a metal-type ability, which should be included in the Magician class."
Xun Che nodded at him and replied, "This is where the grade of innate talent es into play."
"On the last page of the report, the grades of innate talents are written clearly, from Grade F as the lowest to Grade SSS as the highest. For now, we are still researching a machine to check innate talent grades. This machine should be ready in the next 5 days."
"After mutants test their innate talents, their class will be categorized according to the grade of their innate talents. If mutants awaken both types, they will join the class according to their highest-graded innate talent."
"mander, why don’t we categorize them according to their ability level?" Wu Zimo asked.
Xun Che smiled and replied, "Because innate talent determines how far an ability can progress."
"For example, a mutant awakens both metal and vision abilities. But the metal-type ability’s innate talent is D-grade, while the vision-type ability is B-grade."
"Although the metal-type ability has a higher level right now, in the future, the possibility for the vision-type ability to break through to a higher level is 50% greater than that of the metal-type ability."
"Based on this, the mutant should be classified as the Fighter class. This way, we can cultivate them and give them a suitable training program early on."
After hearing his explanation, everyone nodded and discussed the matter in low voices.
10 minutes later, Wu Zimo asked again, "mander, what about mutated ordinary people? They don’t have any abilities and can’t be classified as Fighter, Magician, or Healer."
"They will still be categorized as mutants and will be classified as Brawlers. As mutants, their strength and endurance are far greater than those of humans, even without abilities. So, they will be trained as guards to patrol the base," Xun Che said.
Everyone nodded and felt that his arrangement was good. Seeing that no one had any objections, he continued, "From today onward, we will follow this categorization."
Then, he turned to Wen Hanli and added, "Vice mander, please inform the Green Lake Base, Lunar Base, and other bases about this new grading and categorization."
"Understood," Wen Hanli nodded.
"mander, what if they don’t want to follow our new categorization?" Fu Zhengde asked.
"Professor Fu, you don’t have to worry about this matter. Sooner or later, they will follow us. After all, this matter is not up to them but the mutants," Xun Che replied with a smile.
Everyone looked at him with doubt, but no one questioned him. After working under his leadership for almost 1 year, they understood his methods. He might look kind and gentle, but he was ruthless and cunning deep down.
If he said they would follow his rules, then he must have a way to handle them.
