Originally, Jiang Xue was on Zhang Hewen's side. Her own boyfriend was an intelligent zombie, so she didn't have much malice towards Zhang Hewen's friends.

But she simply couldn't resist Yu Ling's brainwashing rhetoric about the future of humanity, the antidote, and the hope for the world.

In the end, she gave in.

And so, Jiang Xue, alone with two little helpers following behind cheering her on, stormed straight to the headquarters and "persuaded" Zhang Hewen and his friends by force.

A huge group of people... along with the zombies, marched in a grand procession toward the original owner's laboratory.

With the equipment generously sponsored by Zhang Hewen, Yu Ling immediately began her new research upon returning to the laboratory.

Of course, the intelligent zombies were moved to another emptied material room and did not stay with the others.

Since zombies don't die even if they don't eat, Yu Ling quickly provided them with some entertainment items like playing cards, mahjong sets, and Go sets to appease them.

With advantages come disadvantages. With more people around, Yu Ling's laboratory will soon become bustling with activity as several laymen start giving her bad advice.

Yu Ling spent a few days in a slump, during which time she used her powerful learning ability to learn almost all of the original owner's knowledge and skills.

She wanted to wait until she had grown to a certain level before starting to study the zombie virus.

The zombie virus is different from nutrient solutions and superpowered drugs; it's too easy to get infected. If you're not careful, you could become the second original owner of the world-destroying entity. So Yu Ling didn't dare to try it.

That day, perhaps because she had been urged for too long, Yu Ling finally made up her mind. She and a few troublemakers discussed and researched for seven days and seven nights, working tirelessly and finally found a feasible solution.

That is, extract the zombie crystal core from the intelligent zombie, and then slowly wash away the zombie virus in the body with a powerful healing system combined with a newly invented nutrient solution.

However, this method of modification is extremely cruel, because intelligent zombies, as the name suggests, have their entire body mutated except for their brains. This is very painful and can easily lead to death due to improper recovery.

Therefore, Yu Ling's idea is to perfectly fuse the mutated gene chains of humans and zombies together to form a new bloodline.

A new species that is almost somewhere between humans and zombies.

It allows intelligent zombies to maintain their physical form after losing the virus in their bodies, and it can also restore them to the same appearance and lifestyle as humans.

Aside from the fact that the superpowers from the zombie crystal core will not be retained, and other habits that may mutate, at least they will not look so terrifying and can coexist peacefully with humans.

However, this project will undoubtedly require a considerable amount of effort and experimental subjects.

Yu Ling's current zombie companions are not enough to sustain this project.

After thinking about it, she decided to tell Jiang Xue about it, hoping to get her help.

However, Jiang Xue was shocked when she heard about the plan:

"Are you crazy? Capturing intelligent zombies from outside to experiment on? Intelligent zombies were once ordinary people too!"

Jiang Xue thought that Yu Ling must have gone crazy from doing experiments and developed some strange way of thinking, which was why she made such a crazy plan.

"If you want to do experiments, I can capture some low-level zombies for you, and high-level zombies are also possible, but I don't agree to experiment on intelligent zombies."

Jiang Xue remained resolute.

But the low-level zombies and the high-level zombies have lost all human characteristics, they don't seem like they can be saved at all!

Yu Ling tried to explain and persuade her, but to no avail. She began to get annoyed. She knew that Jiang Xue was obsessed with her bottom line.

Seeing that Jiang Xue wouldn't easily agree to her request, she had no choice but to soften her tone and say:

"We now need a large number of test subjects to test and make mistakes. These things are important to both humans and intelligent zombies. If successful, they can inject fresh blood into the survivors."

"But if you keep refusing and delaying because you think experiments are cruel, it will only take us further and further away from success!"

Yu Ling was unwilling to miss this rare opportunity because of Jiang Xue's stubbornness.

Jiang Xue calmly replied:

"But we can't guarantee that injecting these things into zombies will make the zombie virus disappear automatically, can we?"

Jiang Xue knew how infectious the zombie virus was, so she didn't dare to try it lightly. If she failed, it would only create more terrifying mutated zombies.

Yu Ling, however, did not think so.

She believed that as long as humans didn't do anything reckless, the experimental subjects would definitely not die, thanks to the original owner's memories and her own powerful ability to control energy. She thought that if they tried a few more times, they would eventually have a chance to create an antidote.

However, in Jiang Xue's eyes, the lives of intelligent beings are more precious, and she would never risk the life of any human or intelligent zombie.

Jiang Xue's attitude was very firm, and Yu Ling had no choice but to give up.

"Fine, if you disagree, that's fine too. I just think that if we succeed sooner, we might save a few more lives."

Yu Ling offered her final words of advice.

Jiang Xue shook her head, completely unmoved, and said:

"Clinical trials might actually succeed, but they could also create even more dangerous mutated creatures. For example... if a human successfully develops a zombie virus and mutated zombies, it could lead to... blah blah blah..."

Jiang Xue recounted one thing after another, each one a heinous act the original owner had committed.

At that time, the original owner did not understand how terrifying the thing she created was.
