Chapter 273: Chapter 105: Reflection, Sighs, and Subdued Lin Fan_4

They really had tried their best.

It’s just that the outcome left them feeling desperate.

Professor Xia did not find this surprising and slowly said, "It’s okay, research often takes time, as long as we remain steadfast in our beliefs, we will definitely find a way. Our ancestors showed us many examples, do not lose sight of the road ahead because of a momentary failure."

The people of the base, upon hearing Professor Xia’s words, rekindled their hope.

Professor Xia continued, "During this period, I have been observing the zombies at home and have made some discoveries. You all must have noticed them too, but let me reveal something to you. In Huang City, we encountered an amazing young man. He could, with just a sword, fight against hundreds of zombies and eliminate them completely in a very short time."

As soon as these words came out.

The scientific researchers from the three major bases were incredibly shocked, showing a look of disbelief.

Impossible.

One man, one sword cleaning out hundreds of zombies, this idea is simply unthinkable.

They had also faced many zombies during this time and, without the help of firearms, it was very difficult to contend with the zombies. How could they not be shocked to hear about what Professor Xia had just disclosed?

Of course.

They would not doubt the truth of the matter.

How could they doubt what Professor Xia said?

Ji Qiuyue, struggling to contain her shock, asked, "Grandpa Xia, is there really such a person?"

Professor Xia replied, "With my own eyes, I’ve seen it. I know what you’re all thinking, you must have tried the crystal experiment with Evolutionary Zombies, hoping to give humans the power to resist the zombies. But such experiments, you surely have failed, and even those who participated in the experiment hardly escaped unscathed."

The crowd went silent, indeed it was so. They had hoped for new breakthroughs, but the failures made them realize that things were not as simple as they thought.

Professor Xia said, "There is no need to continue the crystal experiments, the human body cannot be compatible with the crystals, and why that young man has such abilities is currently unknown. However, I have figured out how to harness the energy of the crystals."

What?

Professor Xia actually knew how to harness the energy of the crystals?

That’s impossible.

They had plenty of equipment, manpower, and were all experts, yet they had not come up with anything so far. And there was Professor Xia, who had been avoiding zombies outside, knowing about the use of crystals, this...

To be honest, they greatly admired and respected Professor Xia.

But this situation was a huge blow to them, easily making one feel like a waste.

Originally, Professor Xia did not know this.

But he had chatted with the people from Sunshine District, and from some of their words, deduced some information, with a bit of speculation, he could ascertain certain things.

"Grandpa Xia, how exactly do you harness it?" Ji Qiuyue asked eagerly.

Professor Xia looked at the expectant people on the screen and slowly said:

"External objects."

As Professor Xia uttered these two words.

Everyone fell silent.

Suddenly.

Ji Qiuyue from Desert Base seemed to think of something, "Quick, bring me the drill bit that opened the crystal."

Then she said to the screen, "Grandpa Xia, we broke open a crystal a while ago, trying to see the substance contained within, but during the monitoring, there was only a momentary energy fluctuation before it disappeared. If external objects can absorb the energy of the crystals, then the drill bit that opened the crystal must have undergone a change."

Professor Xia thought of the sword carried by Lin Fan, giving him a very peculiar feeling, unlike any cold weapon ever forged.

Soon.

All eyes were on the drill bit in Ji Qiuyue’s hands through the screen. It looked unremarkable, but seemed to contain a kind of subdued brilliance.

"This looks a little different."

"It does seem different, but what exactly is special about it?"

The people in the video discussed.

Professor Xia said, "It should match my speculation, to defeat the zombies, we must harness the power of the zombies."

Ji Qiuyue said, "Grandpa Xia, isn’t there another way, like breaking through the virus of the zombies, so as to eliminate the zombies with medicine?"

"It’s very difficult."

Professor Xia did not completely rule it out, only stating it was very difficult, giving them a glimmer of hope. According to his observations, if they were all regular zombies, perhaps they could really figure it out, but with the appearance of Evolutionary Zombies, and even when some zombies retained their senses, it was not so simple; any change could make the situation thousands of times more complex.

Ji Qiuyue said determinedly, "No matter how difficult, we must try."

Professor Xia responded, "Good, two approaches can be experimented with together."

"Grandpa Xia, will you be busy later?"

"Is there something you need?"

"I would like to ask you more about that young man." Ji Qiuyue was very interested in Lin Fan, whose abilities exceeded those of ordinary people, which surely was no coincidence and might hide a great secret.

Professor Xia said, "Okay."

...

...

The next day.

On the streets.

The horde of zombies wandered as usual, causing disaster in Huang City, afflicting many survivors, and destroying the once beautiful city to the point where no hope could be seen.

Lin Fan walked forward step by step.

He drew his sword.

"Hey, how are you guys doing?"

Greeting them in a friendly manner, if the zombies were unfriendly, then that was their fault. In any case, he handled it very well.

"Grrrr..."

The zombies roared, their grey-white eyes spinning, their faces ferocious and terrifying, as they charged at Lin Fan, the massive horde intimidating, like reckless hooligans of Huang City wreaking havoc on others without restraint.
