After leaving Yulong, Qin Jue wandered aimlessly alone. The amount of information she got today was a bit large, and she actually had huge doubts about her current status. She did not have self-activated superpowers, nor did she come from any serum, but from the fierce bite of the zombie in the suit.
Walking out of the main street, I took a side road. The air in late summer and early autumn is always particularly clear. Qin Jue took a deep breath, and there was a faint scent of osmanthus in the air. If it weren't for the apocalyptic environment, maybe today would be a good and relaxing day.
There were very few people walking out of the main street, and it didn't take long for her to reach the laboratory, the school. Standing outside the gate, looking up at the school building, my heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.
Qin Jue thought to himself that he was not afraid of shadows when he was upright, maybe Dr. Luo knew something. After making up his mind, he stepped into the door.
Following the memory from last time, she quickly arrived at the core laboratory, which was in front of the large glass room where she lay last time. But there is no one here, and Dr. Luo is not here either. Qin Jue looked around, "Dr. Luo?" No one answered.
In addition to the large transparent glass room where he was lying last time, there is a circle of test benches placed against the wall, with some specimens on them - zombie specimens. Qin Jue stepped forward and looked at them one by one. Some were low-level zombies, with hands, eyes, and brains. They were slightly different from the limbs and organs of ordinary people, some in size, and some in shape. There are also zombie monsters, and there are more categories. Some of them are hard to tell what they are, they are lumps of different sizes.
Qin Jue looked a little creepy, but decided to go back first. It really makes people feel some psychological and physical discomfort here.
"Anything gained?" The sudden male voice was rough and slightly hoarse, startling Qin Jue. Looking up, it turned out that Dr. Luo was sitting on a swivel chair with his legs crossed, his deep eyes hidden behind his gray hair, looking at her intently. I don’t know how long it has been since he came.
"Sorry, I called you when I came in, but there was no one, so..."
Dr. Luo waved his hand casually, "It doesn't matter, just take a look." He stood up, pointed at a small mass of bloody things in front of Qin Jue and said, "This is a combination of a zombie monster and a low-level zombie. It wasn’t very successful and fell off before the time was up.”
He turned to a slightly larger group next to him and said: "This is the product of two low-level zombies. They were originally pregnant women. After the mutation, the child will not reach full term and will not be born. I originally thought it would give birth to a child for the autonomous region, but it turned out I have to cut it out myself." He stretched out a hand covered with veins and touched the container containing the mass. "It's a pity that they are all low-level zombies, and the child has no chance."
Qin Jue felt a chill running down his spine, "A chance?"
Dr. Luo turned his head and looked at her seriously, as if he wanted to see something in her eyes. He made a gesture of invitation with his right hand and walked with Qin Jue while talking.
They walked out of the experimental building here and passed through a long corridor. This is an I-shaped teaching building, with a long corridor connecting the east and west floors. There are still trees in the yard, although there are less manpower to take care of them now, and there are fewer restrictions and they are much more luxuriant. When I looked at it during the day, I could see the faint scent of osmanthus in the air and the gentle breeze blowing in my face. I could vaguely see how vibrant the school must have been when it was bustling with people.
But now there's no one around, and it's obviously a bit eerie and quiet.
When he reached the west building, Dr. Luo stretched out his hand again and made a gesture of invitation, and opened the door of the west building. The architectural structure inside is exactly the same as that of the east building, except that there are many rooms isolated here, almost all of which are all glass rooms. Being able to create such a room layout is almost a difficult thing to do with money in today's world.
The five rooms on the left on the first floor are all glass rooms, the middle is the aisle, and the right side is all the test benches. The glass room seemed to contain a variety of creatures, far beyond what Qin Jue had seen and imagined.
There were three low-level zombies locked in the first room. One looked complete and full of flesh and blood; the other was half rotten, standing facing the wall and not moving much; the last one was already haggard.
"There is a time limit for zombie mutation. If the mutation occurs as scheduled before the body rots, then it is very likely to advance. Once the advancement occurs, it will accelerate geometrically. Either it will become a mutant zombie or it will become a mutant zombie. Zombie monster." Dr. Luo stood in front of the first room and carefully looked at the three "people" locked inside.
"They have almost not completed the mutation." He raised a finger, laughed, and pointed at the half-rotten zombie. "But this is very interesting. It has actually started to mutate, but it has not kept up with the speed. You know Just like humans, even when the embryo is formed, there will be a certain elimination rate during the development process."
He knocked on the glass. Among the low-level zombies in the room, only the physical one responded to the sound and followed the sound and came closer. This was a woman who should have been very beautiful when she was alive, but now her peach blossom eyes were gray, her hair was sparse, and her cheeks were sunken and had long lost their color.
Dr. Luo suddenly took a step forward, his face pressed against the glass, so close to her that only the middle glass was the only one. Qin Jue felt a little inappropriate, but followed without saying a word, just watching Dr. Luo's actions.
"Her husband died in the battle with the zombie monster, and she was also injured trying to save her. Unfortunately, he did not survive the mutation." Dr. Luo pressed his face against the glass while gently stroking the glass with his hand, as if stroking her The face is the same. "She might have stopped there, but she didn't have to."
He suddenly looked back at Qin Jue and said, "You are different, you are very different."
Qin Jue was a little surprised, but didn't answer. Thinking that Wang Yiyi might go through such a transformation process, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. "You just said it's not necessary to be like this? Are there other ways to change this transformation process?" She asked as she cautiously took a step back. She didn't know why this Dr. Luo made her hair stand on end.
"If this evolutionary process is interrupted, for example..." Dr. Luo said, looking back at Qin Jue, "For example, injecting human or zombie powers into her."
"How...will it be?"
Dr. Luo suddenly smiled, looked her over, and said slowly, "There is a certain chance that superpowers can be stimulated, either by humans or zombies. There is also a chance that you will die if you can't bear this complicated intersection of energy." "
After saying that, he turned around and walked forward to the second room. Qin Jue silently wiped the sweat from his palms and followed.
