Chapter 79: Chapter 072 Are We Really Still Hopeful?_3

He looked at the Frost Sorrow propped up in the corner of the wall.

Handsome!

Very handsome!

That was the only weapon for self-defense.

Desert, base

"The data received from Dragon Palace Base and Galaxy Base has been collected and specifically organized," said a woman wearing glasses and a white lab coat as she reported to a group of professors.

Inside the white room,

a group of properly seated professors gravely watched the images on the screen.

There were old men.

Middle-aged men.

And young men.

"Dragon Palace Base hunted a mutated zombie and obtained a crystal from its brain. Under various experiments, no functions were found. A soldier voluntarily stepped forward, suggesting ingesting the crystal for data research, but the results were far from ideal."

"This is the internal view of ingesting the crystal. As the crystal enters the body and blood fuses, the ingestor undergoes transformation; their blood boils internally, and eventually, after three minutes, they die from excessive blood loss, proving that the idea of ingesting the crystal is wrong and useless."

"With the current human body, we cannot withstand the crystal."

Image after image appeared.

Watching this, the group of professors became somber.

They were somewhat at a loss concerning the crystals in the zombies’ brains.

The woman did not linger on this topic but continued to switch the images on the screen.

"I have integrated the zombies encountered by Dragon Palace Base and Galaxy Base. Professors, please look at the first image."

At that moment,

a giant zombie appeared on the screen.

This zombie was two to three meters tall with muscular shoulders; its arms, thighs, and waist all exceeded the muscularity of an ordinary person.

"This zombie is identified as a Powerful Zombie, with explosive power. According to the tests from Galaxy Base, a Powerful Zombie can easily flip over a two-ton sedan."

"Its muscle density is extremely high; ordinary bullets can only injure the surface tissues and cannot cause significant damage to the Powerful Zombie."

"If shooting in the head, it can only break the flesh but not harm the bones."

The woman continued her presentation as the images changed.

A zombie resembling the spider-shaped one killed by Lin Fan appeared on the screen.

"This is a Speedy Zombie, adept at moving quickly and climbing, with robust and agile limbs. Its maximum running speed reaches 150 km/h, faster than the fastest land animal, the cheetah."

"What’s even more terrifying is that this type of zombie does not slow down due to exhaustion or organ failure. Once you encounter this zombie, there is virtually no chance of survival."

Seeing this type of zombie,

the professors sitting there turned pale; it was too horrifying, truly too terrifying. Could humans really escape from such zombies?

"This is a zombie encountered by Dragon Palace Base. During the encounter, three fully armed warriors were sacrificed. Without heavy weaponry and armored vehicles, a killing would be much more difficult, if not impossible, because their speed is already at the limit."

The woman, pushing up her glasses, continued to present emotionlessly.

An elderly professor exclaimed in horror, "With this situation, we still haven’t found a way to deal with zombies, and with various bizarre and terrifying zombies emerging, do we humans really have any hope?"

His words left everyone speechless.

A heavy atmosphere spread throughout the room.

The woman kept playing the images.

She wasn’t calm.

She was gradually becoming despairing of the future, as if we could only hide underground and barely survive.

A new image appeared.

A very ordinary-looking zombie, indistinct from others, but its distinct feature was that its mouth could split open like flower petals.

"Screaming Zombie, capable of emitting a shriek at 120 decibels, causing pain, dizziness, nausea, and other symptoms, spreading further than we imagined, able to attract nearby zombies."

"According to the information, this type of zombie was initially assessed a few days ago to emit sound at 100 decibels, but in just a few days, it has increased by 20 decibels. At this rate, reaching 160 decibels is not far off. Once it gets to that level, it can burst human eardrums. Such a zombie is even more dangerous than the previous two types."

"And this type of zombie’s hearing is also higher than we imagined."

A tense professor tried to smoke to ease his spirit.

As he listened to this, he held the cigarette between his fingers, staring at the screen in shock, incredulous.

After a long time,

he finally spoke slowly,

"Do we really still have any hope?"

"And those survivors still alive... how long can they hold out?"
