"But humans won't let themselves be eliminated … Whether it's an ordinary person or a psychic, they are fundamentally different from zombies …"
Speaking of this, Lucy's eyes flashed with a strange light, and she reluctantly twitched the corner of her mouth, "Zombies and humans are still opposites after all. Now humans are struggling under the heavy pressure of zombies in order to fight for living space, but what about in the future? As long as humans don't perish, humans and zombies will continue to fight for survival resources, right? "
"En …"
This was indeed the common thinking of humans, and Ling Mo couldn't refute it.
Although humans were gradually gaining a foothold, the group evolution of zombies was also quietly progressing.
At present, it seemed that the group evolution of zombies was still controlled in a local area, but in reality?
In areas with human activity, the zombies were still evolving at a rapid pace. So what would happen in areas that were completely occupied by zombies?
The virus not only gave zombies a strong ability to adapt to the environment, but also allowed them to choose different evolutionary directions according to different environments.
These were things that humans couldn't compare with …
"The current advantage of us humans is wisdom and firearms. But I always feel that maybe one day, psychics will become the trump card in the hands of humans like firearms, or even stronger than firearms. After all, firearms are still firepower attacks, but facing high-level zombies, the consumption is too great. On the contrary, psychics with different abilities are more suitable to deal with those high-level zombies. "
Lucy continued.
"These … I know all about them. But what does it have to do with this potion? "Ling Mo continued to ask.
"Every zombie has the possibility of becoming a high-level zombie, but is it possible for ordinary people to become psychics?" Lucy suddenly said, and then gave Ling Mo a meaningful look.
"You mean …" Ling Mo's eyes widened in an instant, and he turned his gaze to the potion.
Lucy nodded and said, "When he put forward this idea, I also found it hard to believe … The emergence of psychics and the emergence of zombies were around the same time. It's just that some people realized their sudden ability early, and some people were a little later … Like our FIRE, someone awakened his ability on the second day of the catastrophe. "
"Hmm …" This coincided with Ling Mo's conjecture.
"Do you believe that the emergence of Arcanists has nothing to do with the virus?" Lucy stared at Ling Mo, then sighed. "At first, everyone found it hard to accept that this damned virus could be the source of our abilities. But other than a virus, we can't find a more reasonable explanation and statement. "
"I understand what you mean, and I've heard similar words before …"
Ling Mo said, "The general meaning is that … all humans were infected by the virus before the Cataclysm, right? But at that time, the virus had not yet mutated … When the virus began to evolve and mutate, most humans became zombies … "
"Yes, a small number of humans may be completely immune to the initial mutation of the virus, or the virus in their bodies did not mutate … In short, they were not infected. And among these people, the virus in some people's bodies has undergone another kind of mutation and evolution, giving these people special abilities … "Lucy pursed her lips and said with difficulty.
It was indeed a bit difficult for Arcanists to accept this statement of "in fact, you are also a mutant".
Most humans did not want to have anything to do with zombies, and this sudden rise of a race completely destroyed them, causing them to lose everything.
Perhaps many people had the experience of being scared to the point of peeing or even crying. The despair of seeing their neighbors, or even their relatives and friends ferociously pouncing on them, trying to tear them apart, was probably something that no one could calmly accept.
Some people may not be able to walk out of that shadow even now, so it was considered a common phenomenon for them to have a distorted personality …
Lucy herself was deeply aware of this point.
She used to be an ordinary girl who loved to cry and laugh, holding a tissue box and watching late-night romance dramas …
But now, when she thought of herself slowly mutating, she felt a chill all over her body.
She secretly clenched her fists, and after calming down, she continued to say, "After coming up with this idea, the researcher asked if ordinary people could also become Arcanists according to this idea? At the very least, make Arcanists stronger, and quickly become stronger at the same rate as zombies. Only in this way can Arcanists become the backbone of humanity and support humanity in the continuous battle for survival. "
If he hadn't seen this bottle of potion, Ling Mo would definitely not have believed it.
Everyone had ideas, but how could it be so easy to research it?
But now it seemed that there were really experts among the people …
"This researcher is …"
Lucy struggled for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "Originally … the research hasn't been completely completed, so I can't tell you. The mysterious reward I wanted to give you was actually a promise. As long as the research is successful, I will definitely give this potion to you. Even if I'm not here anymore … "
She also seemed to realize that she had let the cat out of the bag, so she coughed and continued, "But … this time, we, FIRE, have let you down, but you didn't pursue the matter. I'm very grateful …"
"I know, if you had an absolute advantage, you wouldn't be so easy to talk to, at least you would blackmail us …" Lucy glanced at Ling Mo with hidden bitterness, "But still, thank you."
Ling Mo didn't have the slightest awareness of being exposed on his face. Instead, he nodded, "Mhmm!"
"What you have now can only be regarded as a semi-finished product. It can be regarded as a powerful recovery potion. Just like a stimulant, it can instantly relieve pain and greatly improve physical strength. But to put it bluntly, it is also drinking poison to quench thirst and overdraft the body. It can be regarded as a life-saving means for everyone in a life and death battle. Zhen Zhiyuan and the others stole this to give themselves a layer of insurance. It's just that I didn't expect that they would even dare to take such a risk for the sake of profit … "
Lucy stared at the bottle and said with emotion, "Who knows what kind of side effects there will be …"
"You've just met the researcher. His name is Kanzaki, which is a pseudonym. I don't know other information. "
After listening to Lucy's words, Ling Mo's expression suddenly froze.
What a coincidence?
When he shook hands with Kanzaki before, the feeling that made Ling Mo's back tingle seemed to have returned to him.
He thoughtfully thought for a moment, clenched the bottle in his hand, and thought to himself, "If it was him, this potion might not have been stolen by them …"
Although it was only a feeling, this feeling of having a dagger on his back was something that Ling Mo rarely experienced.
The last time he felt it was when he was extremely weak and small, and it was the first time he faced a mutated zombie with his main body.
That kind of oppressive power, that kind of beast-like danger, might be hidden under that smiling face …
"Since …"
At this time, a somewhat stuttering voice suddenly came from behind Ling Mo, "Humans can … mutants … then zombies … can they turn into humans?"
Ling Mo immediately turned his head and found that Ye Lian was staring at him and Lucy with a pair of big eyes, very curious.
Due to zombie instincts, although Ye Lian was very gentle, she always kept her distance from Lucy.
She rarely looked at Lucy like this, let alone took the initiative to talk to her.
Even Ling Mo was shocked, but what shocked him even more was the question that Ye Lian asked.
This little girl actually understood the conversation just now?
Moreover, she could actually think about this kind of question …
"Zombies, turning into humans?!"
Lucy's eyes suddenly widened, and her heart beat violently.
For a moment, she almost thought that she had been exposed, and her hand involuntarily reached for the machine gun on the side.
But thinking about Ye Lian's fighting ability … she immediately stopped moving.
"You … why do you ask 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 thinking had not jumped to the point of directly linking them to zombies.
On the contrary, because of her "guilty conscience", she had been carefully guarding against being discovered by them.
