Time gradually passed until the afternoon. Hundreds of survivors cautiously held their guns and looked outside. However, the zombies never appeared ….
But at this moment, on one of the sections of the protective wall, a survivor in charge of guarding suddenly put down the binoculars in his hand.
To be precise, he fell down ….
He stared blankly at the end of the street. This abnormal reaction caused his companion to be puzzled, "What's wrong? What happened? "
With that, the companion turned his gaze to the binoculars under his feet. But before he picked up the binoculars, he already discovered that this thing was no longer needed ….
What the guard saw had already appeared in his field of vision.
The red air that spread like a poisonous gas, and a large number of monsters enveloped in it ….
Some of them were flying in the sky, and some were climbing on tall buildings ….
"What is this?" He straightened up and murmured.
And the guard finally let out a shrill cry with difficulty, "Enemy attack!!!!"
Ling Mo and the others finally knew what they were waiting for.
It was not the zombies in Central City, nor was it the Spider Queen, but a brand new …. infection.
Before those monsters arrived, the red air had already swept through Miracle Base.
"Ah!" A survivor had just inhaled a little, and suddenly screamed. He threw away the gun in his hand and fell to the ground, twitching.
But no one cared about him … because the people around him were also suffering the same symptoms.
"Quick, cover your mouth and nose!" Lucy shouted.
Su Qianrou's face was pale, "It's useless, the gas will enter through the pores."
She pointed to a psychic on the wall. That person had already covered his mouth and nose, but he still fell the moment he came into contact with the red air.
"Ga!"
A zombie hovering in the sky suddenly screamed, and then suddenly swooped down toward a survivor on the wall.
"Puff!"
A bloody hole silently appeared on its forehead, and then it fell to the ground.
"We lost contact with the first area …."
"We lost contact with the third area …."
"There's no news from the fifth area …."
Ling Mo turned his head, looked at everyone, and made a decision, "Let's retreat to the building."
At this moment, the sounds of an intense battle came from the back of the monsters.
Ling Mo looked back and saw countless fast tentacles in the distance.
One by one, the Mutant Zombies rushed out from their hiding places, pouncing on the monsters like the strongest hunters.
Blood splattered everywhere as the monsters turned their attention from Miracle Base to the mutated zombies.
"Are they helping us?" Xu Shuhan asked in surprise.
Xia Na stared in that direction with a complicated expression. She shook her head and said, "No, they are hunting."
"Take this opportunity to retreat, quickly!" Ling Mo suddenly came to his senses and shouted.
The survivors, who had fallen into panic and confusion, suddenly woke up and began to act.
Miracle Base's defensive wall had fallen.
A few minutes later, Ling Mo and the others returned to the laboratory building.
"The command center is also full of people, but most of them are showing symptoms of infection."
"The same goes for Dormitory Building 1."
"The same goes for the warehouse!"
Reports were constantly passed to Su Qianrou through the communicator, and then she passed it on to Ling Mo.
But what she didn't understand was that despite the major change in the situation, Ling Mo seemed to be surprised and didn't despair.
"Ling Mo, this might really be the last of humanity. Do you remember when the virus first appeared? At that time, there were billions of humans, and there were tens of millions of people in X-City. But in the end, only a thousand people survived, "Su Qianrou said in a low voice. She was still calm, but it wasn't because she didn't despair …
In fact, when she saw the red air, she was already in despair, but she still relied on inertia to survive.
After struggling on the line of life and death for hundreds of days and nights, compared to ordinary people, she would always learn something.
"How are the infected?" Ling Mo asked.
When the red air appeared, he was also stunned for a moment, but then he figured out a lot of things.
Why did the actions of the zombies in Central City change? What was the "enemy" that Old Zheng said couldn't resist?
In fact, the answer was very simple, the virus had escalated.
The virus had always been escalating, but it was in the zombies' bodies before. But when this method of escalation couldn't meet the needs of the virus itself, it would return to the original method of escalation: through the air and fully erupt. This point, when Ling Mo felt it through the female zombies, it was easier to understand.
And the zombies in Central City acted as a medium for the virus to fully erupt again.
If he didn't control Xiao Bai to disrupt the virus' "plan," then there wouldn't be this buffer period now.
The virus would instantly spread to the entire city like a nuclear explosion, and all humans and zombies would be infected.
However, since it was an infection, it wouldn't necessarily lead to death.
The most important thing was that Ling Mo had already felt the feeling of being re-infected through Xiao Bai.
But the real key point was that Old Zheng said he was a variable. Why?
Ye Lian suddenly said a sentence in his network of consciousness, "You are between a zombie and a human."
He was an anomaly after the last virus outbreak …
So it wasn't the zombies in Central City that wanted to get rid of him, but the virus that wanted to get rid of him. When the virus wanted to carry out a comprehensive upgrade, it felt a strange creature that existed in his "body." It was like feeling that the body was sick.
But the virus didn't have the ability to think, and its intentions could only be realized through a carrier. But the carrier it chose couldn't carry out its ideas very well, which was why only Old Zheng was sent to deal with Ling Mo.
Of course, the last point was just Ling Mo's guess, because from what the Spider Queen did, zombies weren't completely defenseless before the virus. And zombies also had the mentality of resistance.
To some extent, the human survivors at this time were actually standing on the same side as zombies like the Spider Queen.
"Infected?" Su Qianrou was stunned after hearing Ling Mo's question, but she still answered responsibly, "Many of them are struggling desperately."
"So are they having a mental disorder? Or have they lost the ability to think? "Ling Mo asked again.
Lin Luanqui stood up and shook her head, "No, I've already asked them some questions. Although there are obvious violent tendencies, they are all very clear-headed and know how to control themselves."
Hearing this, Su Qianrou's expression suddenly changed, and there was some light in her eyes again, "Ling Mo, you mean …"
"The virus in the human body is upgrading." Lucy finished the sentence for Ling Mo.
Ling Mo nodded, "Yes, upgrading is not the same as turning a human into a zombie, because there are viruses in the human body."
Lucy nodded in agreement and said, "For example, if the virus in the zombie body is type A, then the virus in the human body is type B. Ling Mo is right."
"Well, the infection is to upgrade the type A virus in the zombie body to A + 1, or even + 2, and humans also upgrade from B to B + 1, B + 2. In other words, there may be some changes, but it will not be the same as when they were infected and turned into zombies. "Ling Mo said.
After he said this, Su Qianrou suddenly held her hand and walked back and forth, her mouth kept saying, "So that's how it is … So that's how it is … Then as long as they can survive this period of time, humans will not necessarily die …"
"No, I think you're wrong." Wang Rin, who had not spoken since old Zheng's death, suddenly raised her head and said, "After the virus upgrades again, we will no longer be humans …"
After hearing this, Ling Mo's heart moved … He was the only variable.
What about zombies? Were there any variables among the zombies?
For some reason, Ling Mo suddenly turned his head and looked at Ye Lian who was standing in front of the window.
