Chapter 88: Chapter 85: Is there a possibility for the zombie retaining human thoughts to exist_1

"It contains components we previously didn’t recognize. The research group tentatively named it the AIF Amino Acid. Of course, there are other inorganic substances in this acid, making up what we call the ’zombie virus’!"

"There are two types of zombie viruses. Now, let’s take a look at the two different types. Ahem... bring them up!"

Dr. Huang called out to the room behind him. Not long after, a researcher, also dressed in a white lab coat, walked out, holding two bottles of liquid specimens. One was black and the other was a dark red.

Dr. Huang put on gloves and carefully placed the two samples on the table in front of him, then pointed at the black virus specimen and said, "This is the original zombie virus, also known as the black rain that fell before." Dr. Huang paused, then pointed at the other dark red zombie virus bottle and said, "And this was extracted from the zombies!"

"These two different colored viruses both have assimilative properties. They can assimilate animal cells into zombie cells until they become zombies! The black virus is the first infectious virus and its assimilation ability is much stronger than the red one. Once it comes into contact with the skin, it will immediately infect you!"

"The red zombie virus, on the other hand, requires entry into a human or animal body through a wound or ingestion to infect! Once they leave the host, they die within two hours. This is also good news because our water sources can be safely used."

"But this is not the main point. The so-called ’zombie virus’ is not a viral cell, but a substance! If we liken each cell in our body to a giant robot, and the bacteria and viruses inside it are the personnel controlling this robot, then this surreal substance that can turn humans into monsters is like a giant as big as the robot. They have a magical ability to transform a robot into a living thing!"

"But this life is not the kind of life as we know it! Let’s put it this way, once a person becomes a zombie, all the cells in his body will become inorganic cells, except for those that are part of the amino acids, within sixteen hours at most!"

"At this time, the person will not feel any pain, will no longer have the ability to think, and this person, turned into a zombie, cannot be considered alive. They are nothing more than moving tables and chairs!"

Dr. Huang paused, propped his hands on the table, and looked at every person present with a burning gaze.

"Turn on the projector!"

His voice was heavy, and the projector behind him slowly descended. An image appeared on the white wall behind Dr. Huang, showing a diamond-shaped substance constantly coming into contact with some cells, transforming them into its own format.

"This is the zombie virus!"

He pointed at the diamond-shaped substance on the screen, then zoomed in on it. The moment the zombie virus was enlarged, everyone below gasped in shock.

"See?"

Dr. Huang’s voice deepened. He no longer looked at the astonished faces of the crowd. As the diamond-shaped zombie virus was enlarged, dark red lines twisted around its body. These lines intertwined to vaguely form a skull. Although it was blurry, anyone could tell at a glance that it was indeed a skull!

Ning Tianlang furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "What is this?"

"You must have guessed. This skull is not only found on this anti-life substance. Every anti-life substance has a skull like this."

"As I mentioned before, the so-called ’zombie virus’ is a substance. It is not simply a virus. There is no cure that can be developed. All we can do now is kill all of our fellow humans who have turned into zombies!"

Dr. Huang’s worn face hardened, and he spoke a sentence filled with murderous intent. At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a military uniform, full of iron-blooded air, and around forty years old, stood up and asked Dr. Huang, "Doctor, how do you explain the evolution of New Humans and zombies?"

This man in military uniform was named He Zhoulong. He became a Level 1 New Human by accident following the post-apocalyptic outbreak. He strongly believed in the power of martial arts and often trained to enhance his physical strength. However, he had Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and was distrustful of his sudden new powers, making him uncomfortable. As such, he rarely used his New Human powers. Today, with Dr. Huang present, he decided to voice the questions in his mind.

"Regarding this, there was an anti-life substance rain about a month ago. Not all of the substances were in the rain. Some of the anti-life substances were torn into countless particles and floated in the air before being absorbed by the human body. Of course, these airborne anti-life substances did not dissolve violently."

"They will hide in the human body. At a certain point in time, they will burst out, changing the density of human cells and thereby having far greater strength and speed than ordinary humans. Of course, this is just a guess, but it is not without basis, as we have also found anti-life substances in the bodies of New Humans!"

"And the evolution of zombies is the same. They need to continue to eat to speed up the speed at which their own anti-life substances differentiate, and then they can evolve."

After Dr. Huang finished, He Zhoulong nodded and sat down. Given the shocked looks on everyone else’s faces, he knew they were still reeling from what they had just learned.

They still hadn’t adapted to everything in this apocalyptic world. They couldn’t wait for a cure to be developed, to restore the world to peace. In this post-apocalyptic world, resources were scarce. Some of the children of nobles couldn’t even get enough to eat in this era, let alone a large number of survivors?

To lighten the mood, Dr. Huang wanted to tell a joke, but when he was about to speak he said, "Well, that’s it for this meeting. Everyone, let’s disband and keep doing our own work."

After speaking, Dr. Huang was about to go into the back room, and the people below gradually dispersed and left the meeting room.

Just when almost everyone had left, Ning Yu’er suddenly called out to Dr. Huang, "Grandfather, wait a minute!"

"What is it?" Dr. Huang turned around in confusion.

"Is it really impossible to develop a cure for the zombie virus?"

Dr. Huang shook his head, saying, "It’s impossible to develop. It’s a substance. If you want to develop a drug that can change zombies back into humans, unless we can progress human technology to a point where it can give life to a dead object, otherwise it will be forever impossible to develop such a drug."

"Hmm..." Ning Yu’er responded disappointedly, and then said, "If it can’t be developed, Grandfather, do you think it’s possible for a person to retain human thinking after turning into a zombie?"

"What? A zombie with human thinking? I’ve never thought about that. Wait! Could it be... have you seen one?"
