Because the city wall collapsed, everyone was busy repairing it. Shen Yunfei and Shi Haoyu were Jiang Wan's teammates, so they didn't even go through security checks and quarantine before entering the city directly.
Jiang Wan saved the entire city and was now treated as a guest of honor. Chu Mengqi and Team H also moved into the most luxurious suite.
But no one had the heart to rest at this moment. As evening approached, the third day was about to pass, but there was still no idea how to complete the task.
Jiang Wan carefully sorted out the information she had gained over the past few days, but found that there was actually no information with a very clear direction.
The biggest gain was the virtual screen that appeared when she turned into the Zombie King, with only two words written on the taskbar.
save.
What are we saving?
Logically speaking, since she is the zombie king, she should be saving zombies.
Or... do you want to turn all zombies into normal people?
A cure for zombies?
Jiang Wan's eyes narrowed. When she came down from the city wall, she wanted to ask more about the special medicine for zombies, but Ochi said nothing and instead drove them back to the inner city.
"There's a problem. There must be something wrong with Ochi."
Qi'an brought over a plate of fruit:
"Well, I just checked. The research institute is under martial law. It must be a problem with the zombie medicine."
When the zombie tide came, Chu Mengqi, as an ordinary person, was evacuated to an underground shelter. She suddenly remembered something was wrong.
"You mentioned the research institute. I think I saw them in the shelter. They were wearing white coats, but they were under strict guard. There were guards all around them, and they had special bracelets on their hands. They were also separated from us. It didn't seem like they were there to protect them, but rather... to monitor them."
Jiang Wan frowned slightly:
"Logically speaking, researchers should be very valuable. They shoulder the heavy responsibility of researching effective medicines. It's no exaggeration to say they are saviors. Once they achieve a major breakthrough, they can even eliminate the zombies and end the apocalypse."
Jiang Wan recalled the words of the city defender Kendi.
"Kindi said that to smooth things over, one must return to the starting point, and human greed is endless..."
Shi Haoyu leaned over and asked: "What does this mean? Return to what starting point?"
"It should be before the apocalypse, when there were no zombies and society was in order. It wasn't like it is now, where everyone can only huddle in a safe zone city."
Chu Mengqi sighed. She had released many civilians in the safe zone over the past two days and had gained a lot of insights:
"For ordinary people, this world is too small. Since the apocalypse, their world has been nothing but survival and destruction. Everyone is forced to accept the separation of life and death. Those who survive can only look at this square piece of sky every day. There are many children who have never even seen the outside world."
Shen Yunfei nodded in response: "It's okay for people with special abilities. They have special abilities and the ability to protect themselves. They can still walk outside."
"A mutant?"
Jiang Wan felt that she had grasped the most important point.
"Yes! It's the mutants! Going back to the starting point doesn't just mean restoring the zombies to normal, it also means making the mutants give up their abilities!"
Qi'an instantly thought of the key point:
"I'm afraid they won't be willing. The world is now controlled by people with special abilities. Even if they knew that giving up their special abilities would return them to where they were, they wouldn't give up the power they hold."
Once you figure out the key point, everything becomes clear.
Zombies mutate because ordinary people are infected with the zombie virus, and superpowers are also caused by the zombie virus.
Ultimately, the two are the same, just expressed in different ways.
If we want to go back to the starting point, we must completely eliminate the zombie virus. In addition to zombies, there are also people with special abilities.
No wonder Ochi keeps saying that this miracle drug is only a semi-finished product.
But he knew the side effects of the special medicine so well and even knew exactly how to use it, which meant that the medicine had been tested and was even close to perfection, but for some reason it had not been put into use.
Yes, Oqi was reluctant to give up his special abilities, and also reluctant to give up his identity as the city lord.
Because of his special abilities, he can become the highest leader of an entire city, be admired by everyone, and enjoy the best resources.
If he loses his superpowers, he will be no different from an ordinary person.
"Ochi said that the zombie medicine must be diluted. One bottle of medicine is enough to restore all the zombies in a city to normal."
Shi Haoyu rubbed his hands: "Then... steal a few bottles?"
Chen Yunfei rolled his eyes: "Go ahead and see if you will be thrown out. Qi An said that the institute has been put under martial law."
Jiang Wan had already thought of a solution: "This is easy, Pipi, get up and work."
Pipi: "...I'm really impressed by you!"
Since Jenny was able to steal the special medicine during the chaos last time, wouldn’t it be great if there was more chaos?
This is too easy for the Zombie King.
Especially now, the outer walls of the entire city have been blown up and the inner walls have not been repaired. If a few waves of zombies come, they can take advantage of the situation.
The night gradually fell and the sun sank below the horizon without any reluctance.
This is not destined to be a quiet night.
Led by Ouqi, the earth-type ability users were busy around the city wall.
Although the last wave of zombies has receded, the doomsday danger remains, and no one knows when the next wave of zombies will come.
If there were no city walls, the zombie army would march straight in and the safe zone would definitely fall.
Therefore they cannot relax for a moment.
The moon hangs high in the sky, casting a mysterious veil over the entire world.
Everyone was busy working, but no one noticed the shaky shadows approaching on the horizon.
Finally, an earth-type mutant stood up, pounded his aching shoulders, looked into the distance, and was shocked to find that there was a group of zombies not far away!
"Danger—Zombies are coming—"
The alarm sounded instantly, the entire city flashed red lights, and the mechanical radio began broadcasting.
[Attention, zombies are coming, please enter the shelter as soon as possible.]
[Attention, zombies are coming, please enter the shelter as soon as possible.]
[Attention, zombies are coming, please enter the shelter as soon as possible.]
The broadcast sounded three times, followed by a sharp and piercing alarm. Countless people woke up from their sleep, and some of them rushed into the underground shelter without even having time to put on their shoes.
Life is important, only when you are alive can you have shoes to wear.
Two zombie waves in just one day can't help but make people complain.
"Hey, these zombies are endless. They come twice a day. I can't rest."
"I feel like these two waves of zombies are very strange. It's like they won't stop until this place is destroyed."
"Hey, honestly, I've had enough of this kind of life. I might as well just turn into a zombie and lie down. It's too tiring."
"Being alive is already a blessing, what are you thinking about?"
The shelter was dimly lit, and everyone's expression was different. The only thing they shared was exhaustion and boredom...
