Chapter 513 Origin: Virus

Editor: Zephyr04 Translator: Jhung

But humans would never allow themselves to get eliminated Whether it is an ordinary person or a psychic, they are still different from a zombie

At this point, Lucys eyes flashed a strange color, and she reluctantly opened her mouth, Zombies and Humans are still on opposing sides after all. At this moment, humans are struggling under the pressure of zombies to fight for living s.p.a.ce. But what about in the future? As long as the human race doesnt perish, theyll continue to fight for resources to survive.

Yeah

Ling Mo couldnt disagree with this statement.

Although humans are gradually gaining a foothold, the zombies that have evolved are also advancing.

At present, it seems like the evolved zombies are still contained, but are they really?

If the zombies are still evolving even in areas with human activities, then what about the zombies in those areas without any human activities?

Not only did the virus give zombies a powerful ability to adapt to the environment, but it also allowed them to choose different evolutionary paths according to different environments.

These features are all incomparable to humans

Currently, our wisdom and hot weapons are what we humans have. But I have a feeling that psychics will become our trump cards in the future. Although firearms are powerful, in the face of high-level zombies, the consumption of resources is just too much. On the contrary, psychics are more suitable for dealing with those high-level zombies.

Lucy continued.

All of these things I already know. But what does this have anything to do with this drug? Ling Mo asked.

Every zombie has a chance to become a high-level zombie, but is it possible for an ordinary person to become a psychic? Lucy said suddenly and then gave Ling Mo a meaningful look.

You mean Ling Mos eyes instantly widened, and he turned his gaze to the drug.

Lucy nodded and said, When he proposed this idea, I also found it difficult to believe The appearance of psychics was around the same time as the zombies. Its just that some people realized early they had powers, while others realized late For example, some of our people in FIRE awoke their superpowers on the second day of the apocalypse.

Hmm This point coincided with Ling Mos conjecture.

If I were to tell you that the appearance of psychics had nothing to do with the virus, would you believe it? Lucy stared at Ling Mo and then let out a sigh, At first, everyone found it difficult to accept this idea. They couldnt believe that this d.a.m.ned virus might actually be the reason for their powers. But apart from the virus, we couldnt find any other reasonable explanation or argument.

I know what you mean, and Ive also heard similar words

Ling Mo said, So basically, all the humans were infected by the virus before the apocalypse broke out, right? Its just that the virus at that time didnt mutate yet When the virus finally evolved and began to mutate, most of the humans became zombies

Yes, instead, a small part of the human population was probably immune to the virus at the early stages, or the virus in their bodies didnt mutate In short, they didnt become part of the infected And within this group of people, the virus in some of them underwent another mutation, giving them powers Lucy pursed her lips and said with difficulty.

To be told that they were also mutants, it was indeed difficult for psychics to accept this fact.

Most humans didnt want to have anything to do with the zombies. The sudden rise of this race that had completely destroyed their lives and made them lose everything.

Most of them probably had a frightening experience, the ones that made you p.i.s.s your pants or even cry. The despair of seeing your family, friends, and neighbors jump on you and savagely try to rip you apart, no one can easily accept this.

Even now, there are still some people that havent escaped from the shadow of this event. So having a personality change was a normal appearance

Lucy deeply resonated with this point.

She used to be an ordinary girl that loved to cry and laugh. A girl that held tissue boxes while watching late-night romance dramas

But now, when she thinks about how she is slowly mutating, she feels cold all over.

She squeezed her fist secretly, and after calming down, she continued, After having this idea, the researcher raised another question. Could ordinary people become psychics based on this concept? Or at least make the psychics stronger so they could keep up with the zombies evolutionary speed. Only in this way can psychics become the backbone of humanity and support the survival of mankind in the continuous battle of survival.

If Ling Mo hadnt seen this bottle, he definitely wouldnt have thought this was possible.

Everyone had their ideas, but to research it out, how could it be so simple?

But now, it seems like an expert has actually done it

This researcher is

Lucy struggled with her thoughts for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, Originally I wasnt supposed to tell you if the research wasnt complete. The mysterious reward I wanted to give you was actually a promise. As long as it was successful, I would definitely give you one of these drugs. Even if Im gone one day, I will

She seemed to realize that she almost blurted out her secret and quickly coughed before continuing, But this time our Fire group caused you problems, yet you didnt pursue it. Im very grateful

I know youre not the type of person thats easy to talk to if you have an advantage over someone. Youd at least try to blackmail us Lucy gave Ling Mo a bitter look, but thank you anyways.

Ling Mo didnt realize that he was being called out at all and nodded, Yeah!

What you have now can only be regarded as a prototype that can only be used as a powerful healing potion. Just like stimulants, it can instantly relieve pain and greatly increase physical strength. But to put it bluntly, its like drinking poison to overdraw the strength from ones body. This drug is basically a life-saving tool for anyone in a battle between life and death. Zhen Zhi Yuan and his group stole these drugs to protect themselves. Its just that I never expected them to take such risks just for the sake of benefits

Lucy stared at the medicine bottle and said emotionally, Who knows what kind of side-effects they might have experienced if they had taken it

That researcher, you just met him. His name is Jian Qi, which is an alias. I dont have any other information about him.

After listening to Lucys words, Ling Mos expression instantly froze.

Is it a coincidence?

The feeling that made his back turn numb when he shook hands with Jian Qi seemed to have returned to his body.

He clenched the bottle in his hand and thought carefully to himself,

They might not have stolen this drug by themselves if its him

Although it was just a feeling, it made Ling Mo restless since he rarely felt this kind of feeling.

The last time he felt this way was when he was still very weak, and was facing a mutant zombie for the first time.

That oppressive force and dangerous feeling that was hiding under that smiling face

Since

At this time, a stammering voice suddenly came from behind Ling Mo, If people can mutate then Can zombies become human?

Ling Mo immediately turned around and found that Ye Lian was curiously looking at him and Lucy with her bright eyes.

Because of her zombie instincts, although Ye Lian was very gentle, she kept her distance from Lucy.

She rarely looked at Lucy like this, let alone speak to her actively.

Even Ling Mo was shocked, but what shocked him even more, was the question raised by Ye Lian.

This girl actually understood the conversation just now?

Moreover, she actually had her own question too

Zombie reverting back to a human?!

Lucys eyes suddenly widened, and her heart started to beat violently.

For a moment, she almost thought that she was exposed, and she couldnt help but reach for the machine gun at her side.

But upon remembering Ye Lians fighting capabilities, she immediately stopped.

You why are you asking about this

Lucy stared at Ye Lian with a complicated expression, and asked nervously.

Although she was very suspicious of Ling Mo and his group, her thoughts hadnt jumped to the point of directly connecting them with the zombies.

On the contrary, she was cautiously on guard against them due to her own guilty conscience.
