Chapter 895: Terrifying Conjecture
"Hu Meng, are you sure you know what you are talking about?"
Qin Zhong couldn't contain his inner anxiety. He took a deep breath and asked solemnly, "If your theory is correct, how many high-level zombies with super powers will emerge from the hundreds of millions of zombies? If this situation becomes a reality, how can we humans survive in this world?"
"Alas!" Qin Zhong's words instantly made the atmosphere in the laboratory drop to freezing point.
Everyone present had a grim expression, their hearts feeling as if a huge rock was weighing on them. If they weren't all determined warriors, they would have been crushed by this terrifying thought.
“Some things won’t disappear just because we choose to ignore them.”
Facing Qin Zhong's questioning, Hu Meng stared at the zombies lurking in and out of the shadows, slowly shook his head and said, "Brother Qin, honestly, you're the one who's dealt with zombies the most among us. Please think calmly. Do you really think my speculation is unfounded?"
"I..." Qin Zhong subconsciously wanted to deny it, but the words suddenly got stuck at his lips.
Every detail of his battles with various zombies over the past year quickly flashed through his mind.
After a long silence, Qin Zhong finally sighed and reluctantly admitted, "Okay... I admit, this possibility does exist. It's just that I never thought that this absurd conjecture would one day become a living reality."
In fact, a long time ago, Qin Zhong had worried about whether zombies would unlock super powers.
Because he discovered that the evolution of zombies was very similar to that of humans.
The only difference is that zombies rely on viral genes to drive their own evolution, while humans directly absorb crystal cores containing life force to make themselves faster and stronger.
Therefore, after Qin Chong awakened his super powers, he began to worry whether the zombies would activate their super powers as their evolutionary level increased.
However, this series of thoughts remained deep in his mind, and he did not dare to mention them to outsiders casually, not even to Hu Meng and Chujiu.
Only when he woke up from his dream in the middle of the night did he suddenly realize the horror of this possibility. However, he never expected that what he thought was impossible would eventually happen.
"The origin of super powers lies in the brain. If this M5 truly developed super powers through evolution, then its brain structure must be vastly different from that of an ordinary zombie."
Looking at Qin Zhong's heavy face, Hu Meng nodded gently and said in a deep voice: "Wait until I study its brain structure carefully, maybe I can find out how it activates its super powers."
After saying that, Hu Meng pressed the wall without hesitation and turned on all the shadowless lights in the room.
In an instant, the bright light completely dispelled the darkness in the room, and then Hu Meng walked towards M5's hiding place.
……
After leaving Hu Meng's laboratory, Qin Zhong has been in a low mood.
Although Hu Meng has not yet fully figured out the secrets of M5's body, judging from the huge difference between its brain and that of ordinary zombies, the inference that zombies can unlock super powers through evolution has unfortunately become a reality.
This news plunged Qin Zhong into deep distress and worry. There was no other way. The zombie population was simply too large, and with the X-people fanning the flames, no one knew how many high-level zombies would appear in the future.
Among these high-level zombies, even if only one thousandth of them unlocked super powers, it would be a very terrifying thing.
Take the M5 captured this time for example. If Qin Zhong hadn't been lucky enough to encounter it in a place like a mine, the final outcome would be unknown: who would live and who would die.
After all, a monster with super speed and destructive power, coupled with the ability to appear and disappear in the shadows, is really terrifying.
Of course, things might not be that bad. According to Hu Meng's initial deduction, since zombies and humans are essentially the same, the results of their superpowers should be as diverse as those of humans.
Such a terrifying and incredible superpower as shadow shuttle should not easily appear in other zombies. Even if it does appear, it will be extremely rare.
Therefore, as long as they do not have this kind of mysterious ability to appear and disappear at will, it is still difficult for ordinary high-level zombies to become opponents of human masters.
But no matter what, this incident could easily cause unrest among ordinary people. For this reason, Qin Zhong specifically instructed Sun Xiaoyan and others who learned of this news to ensure that the news was not leaked.
He didn't want humans to lose their composure before the zombies arrived.
Just when Qin Zhong was worried about the high-level zombies activating super powers, a group of people he never expected suddenly came to visit him.
On this day, Qin Zhong was having dinner. When he heard the visitor's name, he smiled slightly, put down the cutlery in his hand, wiped his lips, and slowly walked towards the door of the gathering place.
As he expected, when the Kyoto government found that it could not oppress Qin Zhong with national justice and strength, it began to change its strategy and play the emotional card.
The people who came this time were Feng Yuan who had been released, Xiao Shan, the rising star of the Xiao family, and Ding Kai who had met Qin Zhong before the end of the world.
"General Feng, how are you?"
With a flick of his wings, Qin Zhong flew directly from the city wall where they were gathered to Feng Yuan and the other two. He smiled and said, "I heard you were put under house arrest the moment you returned. What's going on? Are you redeeming yourself for meritorious service this time?"
"Uh, you know everything?" Looking at Qin Zhong's playful expression, Feng Yuan couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, feeling a headache.
At first, he met his senior brother, Old Yan, as soon as he returned. It turned out that after he and Old Yan were separated by the biological weapons corps that day, Old Yan was unable to contact him and had to lead his men back to Kyoto.
Upon learning that Feng Yuan was safe and sound and had returned safely, Mr. Yan was very happy and ran to see him as soon as possible.
After Feng Yuan explained the entire Battle of Sucheng in front of Mr. Shen, Principal Leng, Mr. Yan and the generals of the Kyoto government, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
They were shocked not only because of the strength of the Biological Corps, but also because of the strength of Qin Zhong and his Tiangang Organization.
After all, the Chinese have a strong tendency to engage in internal strife.
Therefore, even though Feng Yuan repeatedly explained and emphasized, the pro-war faction headed by General Li of the United Front Work Department still detained him on the grounds that Feng Yuan's command was ineffective and the casualties were too heavy.
He also arranged for the white-haired old man named Guan Chonghai to inform Qin Zhong, hoping to make Qin Zhong submit in the name of national justice and the Kyoto government.
But in the end, the news that Guan Chonghai died outside the gathering place was passed back to the Kyoto government. The pro-war faction headed by General Li of the United Front Work Department was furious and clamored to send troops to eliminate Qin Zhong and his Tiangang organization.
If it weren't for Mr. Shen and Principal Leng stopping them, the people who came to the gathering place of the Tiangang Organization today would probably be the Kyoto government troops who came to conquer, not Feng Yuan and others.
