āBut humans would never allow themselves to get eliminatedā¦ Whether it is an ordinary person or a psychic, they are still different from a zombieā¦ā
At this point, Lucyās eyes flashed a strange color, and she reluctantly opened her mouth, āZombies and Humans are still on opposing sides after all. At this moment, humans are struggling under the pressure of zombies to fight for living space. But what about in the future? As long as the human race doesnāt perish, theyāll continue to fight for resources to survive.ā
āYeahā¦ā
Ling Mo couldnāt disagree with this statement.
Although humans are gradually gaining a foothold, the zombies that have evolved are also advancing.
āAt present, it seems like the evolved zombies are still contained, but are they really?ā
āIf the zombies are still evolving even in areas with human activities, then what about the zombies in those areas without any human activities?ā
āNot only did the virus give zombies a powerful ability to adapt to the environment, but it also allowed them to choose different evolutionary paths according to different environments.ā
āThese features are all incomparable to humansā¦ā
āCurrently, our wisdom and hot weapons are what we humans have. But I have a feeling that psychics will become our trump cards in the future. Although firearms are powerful, in the face of high-level zombies, the consumption of resources is just too much. On the contrary, psychics are more suitable for dealing with those high-level zombies.ā
Lucy continued.
āAll of these thingsā¦ I already know. But what does this have anything to do with this drug?ā Ling Mo asked.
āEvery zombie has a chance to become a high-level zombie, but is it possible for an ordinary person to become a psychic?ā Lucy said suddenly and then gave Ling Mo a meaningful look.
āYou meanā¦ā Ling Moās eyes instantly widened, and he turned his gaze to the drug.
Lucy nodded and said, āWhen he proposed this idea, I also found it difficult to believeā¦ The appearance of psychics was around the same time as the zombies. Itās just that some people realized early they had powers, while others realized lateā¦ For example, some of our people in FIRE awoke their superpowers on the second day of the apocalypse.ā
āHmmā¦ā This point coincided with Ling Moās conjecture.
āIf I were to tell you that the appearance of psychics had nothing to do with the virus, would you believe it?ā Lucy stared at Ling Mo and then let out a sigh, āAt first, everyone found it difficult to accept this idea. They couldnāt believe that this damned virus might actually be the reason for their powers. But apart from the virus, we couldnāt find any other reasonable explanation or argument.ā
āI know what you mean, and Iāve also heard similar wordsā¦ā
Ling Mo said, āSo basically, all the humans were infected by the virus before the apocalypse broke out, right? Itās just that the virus at that time didnāt mutate yetā¦ When the virus finally evolved and began to mutate, most of the humans became zombiesā¦ā
āYes, instead, a small part of the human population was probably immune to the virus at the early stages, or the virus in their bodies didnāt mutateā¦ In short, they didnāt become part of the infectedā¦ And within this group of people, the virus in some of them underwent another mutation, giving them powersā¦ā Lucy pursed her lips and said with difficulty.

To be told that they were also mutants, it was indeed difficult for psychics to accept this fact.
Most humans didnāt want to have anything to do with the zombies. The sudden rise of this race that had completely destroyed their lives and made them lose everything.
Most of them probably had a frightening experience, the ones that made you piss your pants or even cry. The despair of seeing your family, friends, and neighbors jump on you and savagely try to rip you apart, no one can easily accept this.
Even now, there are still some people that havenāt escaped from the shadow of this event. So having a personality change was a normal appearanceā¦
Lucy deeply resonated with this point.
She used to be an ordinary girl that loved to cry and laugh. A girl that held tissue boxes while watching late-night romance dramasā¦
But now, when she thinks about how she is slowly mutating, she feels cold all over.
She squeezed her fist secretly, and after calming down, she continued, āAfter having this idea, the researcher raised another question. Could ordinary people become psychics based on this concept? Or at least make the psychics stronger so they could keep up with the zombieās evolutionary speed. Only in this way can psychics become the backbone of humanity and support the survival of mankind in the continuous battle of survival.ā
If Ling Mo hadnāt seen this bottle, he definitely wouldnāt have thought this was possible.
Everyone had their ideas, but to research it out, how could it be so simple?
But now, it seems like an expert has actually done itā¦
āThis researcher isā¦ā
Lucy struggled with her thoughts for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, āOriginallyā¦ I wasnāt supposed to tell you if the research wasnāt complete. The mysterious reward I wanted to give you was actually a promise. As long as it was successful, I would definitely give you one of these drugs. Even if Iām gone one day, I willā¦ā
She seemed to realize that she almost blurted out her secret and quickly coughed before continuing, āBut this timeā¦ our Fire group caused you problems, yet you didnāt pursue it. Iām very gratefulā¦ā
āI know youāre not the type of person thatās easy to talk to if you have an advantage over someone. Youād at least try to blackmail usā¦ā Lucy gave Ling Mo a bitter look, ābut thank you anyways.ā
Ling Mo didnāt realize that he was being called out at all and nodded, āYeah!ā
āWhat you have now can only be regarded as a prototype that can only be used as a powerful healing potion. Just like stimulants, it can instantly relieve pain and greatly increase physical strength. But to put it bluntly, itās like drinking poison to overdraw the strength from oneās body. This drug is basically a life-saving tool for anyone in a battle between life and death. Zhen Zhi Yuan and his group stole these drugs to protect themselves. Itās just that I never expected them to take such risks just for the sake of benefitsā¦ā
Lucy stared at the medicine bottle and said emotionally, āWho knows what kind of side-effects they might have experienced if they had taken itā¦ā
āThat researcher, you just met him. His name is Jian Qi, which is an alias. I donāt have any other information about him.ā
After listening to Lucyās words, Ling Moās expression instantly froze.
Is it a coincidence?
The feeling that made his back turn numb when he shook hands with Jian Qi seemed to have returned to his body.
He clenched the bottle in his hand and thought carefully to himself, āThey might not have stolen this drug by themselves if itās himā¦ā
Although it was just a feeling, it made Ling Mo restless since he rarely felt this kind of feeling.
The last time he felt this way was when he was still very weak, and was facing a mutant zombie for the first time.
That oppressive force and dangerous feeling that was hiding under that smiling faceā¦
āSinceā¦ā
At this time, a stammering voice suddenly came from behind Ling Mo, āIfā¦ people canā¦ mutateā¦ thenā¦ Can zombiesā¦ become human?ā
Ling Mo immediately turned around and found that Ye Lian was curiously looking at him and Lucy with her bright eyes.
Because of her zombie instincts, although Ye Lian was very gentle, she kept her distance from Lucy.
She rarely looked at Lucy like this, let alone speak to her actively.
Even Ling Mo was shocked, but what shocked him even more, was the question raised by Ye Lian.
This girl actually understood the conversation just now?
Moreover, she actually had her own question tooā¦
āZombie reverting back to a human?!ā
Lucyās eyes suddenly widened, and her heart started to beat violently.
For a moment, she almost thought that she was exposed, and she couldnāt help but reach for the machine gun at her side.
But upon remembering Ye Lianās fighting capabilities, she immediately stopped.
āYouā¦ why are you asking about thisā¦ā
Lucy stared at Ye Lian with a complicated expression, and asked nervously.
Although she was very suspicious of Ling Mo and his group, her thoughts hadnāt jumped to the point of directly connecting them with the zombies.
On the contrary, she was cautiously on guard against them due to her own guilty conscience.
