The rain has stopped.
In this rainforest territory, the sky was covered with dark clouds.
But the woodland was filled with a refreshing scent.
Two people and a frog walked in the middle.
"There are many more?"
After Wang Lan finished speaking, Aken kept looking Wang Lan up and down, and said thoughtfully, "I think you're not very old. How many strange and unusual things do you know?"
He kept repeating unbelievable things until Wang Lan's ears were practically calloused. So, Wang Lan glanced at Aken impatiently and said, "I've seen humans turn into zombies. Even though they're dead, they can still move freely and eat anyone they see. The only way to kill them is to cut off their heads. Have you ever seen one?"
Arken thought for a moment and shook his head.
Nan Chen looked at Wang Lan with a surprised expression.
The zombies Wang Lan mentioned were ones she had never encountered, but she had seen them in past footage. It was in a city called "Raccoon," where a contagious virus called "T" suddenly broke out.
Once infected with the T-virus, a living person will turn into a zombie, only knowing how to keep eating, and just as Wang Lan described, only by destroying the head can a zombie be truly killed.
"Not only that, there are also many branches of zombies, such as giant infected, which are more than three meters tall, or even four or five meters tall, and are agile and incredibly strong."
Arken's expression changed repeatedly.
Nan Chen's surprise grew deeper.
Because she had also heard of the giant infected.
"Besides the giant infected, there are several other monsters such as the Ripper. They are all mutated due to infection with the virus."
Arken was already somewhat skeptical, and he asked, "You've fought all these monsters?"
"Yes, we've fought!" Wang Lan nodded, neither confirming nor denying.
Arken asked again, "No way, you're really not lying to me?"
Wang Lan rolled her eyes at him. "Why would I lie to you?"
“That’s right, he wasn’t lying,” Nan Chen added. “I saw the zombie he described in the Tomorrow City’s historical archives, and it was exactly the same as he described. Moreover, there are related videos from that time as proof!”
"video?"
Wang Lan and Aken both asked in confusion at the same time.
Wang Lan said, "You mean to say that zombie monsters existed before the anomaly?"
“That’s right, Raccoon City,” Nan Chen explained, “It’s the name of the city before the mutation. There was a zombie virus outbreak there. I just didn’t expect that the zombie virus would reappear so long after the mutation.”
Arken was still wondering, "What is a 'video'?"
Wang Lan continued, "It seems that no matter the era, there are always people conducting experiments without any bottom line!"
Nan Chen nodded in agreement.
He continued, "Was the zombie virus you experienced difficult to overcome? In the video footage I saw, the virus overwhelmed the entire city, and in the end, they had no choice but to release a nuclear bomb to completely eliminate it."
"I think I fared alright!" Wang Lan said. "After all, although those zombies were powerful, I at least survived and even gained some valuable experience from them."
“Your strength is indeed formidable,” Nan Chen said sincerely. “Although one or two zombies are no problem for me, and I am confident that I can even contend with giant infected, once hordes of zombies appear, I may only have death left.”
Wang Lan nodded, but this time he didn't say anything.
After all, his ability to defeat zombies was inseparable from his C system. It was precisely because of the C system that he was not afraid of being infected by the zombie virus.
Wang Lan sighed and said, "Actually, what's terrifying to me isn't the zombies, but something far beyond my comprehension."
What is that?
Wang Lan said solemnly, "A tree, a god-like tree!"
"A sacred tree? A tree spirit?"
“I think both of these interpretations are valid,” Wang Lan said. “It’s a species far beyond my imagination. That tree can talk, it’s towering and incredibly large. One of its leaves is like a small town. Its vines can turn the land upside down wherever they sweep across. It can also release a weapon that looks like a tree root, about knee-high, that explodes and is more powerful than a hand grenade!”
Aken was listening with great interest.
Nan Chen was completely dumbfounded.
She believed that what Wang Lan said was not fabricated, but what exactly had Wang Lan gone through? Every single thing he said would undoubtedly be a catastrophe even in Tomorrow City!
Yet he survived all of these unimaginable events.
It has even transformed into the powerful person it is today.
“Hey,” Wang Lan suddenly looked at Nan Chen, “Has your City of Tomorrow considered going there to eliminate the source of the anomaly?”
"The source of the mutation?" Nan Chen suddenly realized and said, "You mean the depths of the ocean, right? That's right. The scientists of Tomorrow City did say that although the mutation has stabilized, to completely resolve it, we still need to completely destroy the source of the mutation, which is the meteorite located in the ocean."
Wang Lan then asked, "How much do you know about the ocean?"
Nan Chen blushed slightly and replied, "This... isn't much."
“I don’t think it’s much,” Aken hurriedly interjected, as if he had been holding back for a long time and had finally found a topic he could talk about. “Excuse me for speaking frankly, but with your strength, even if it’s Wang Lan, who is obviously very strong, you won’t gain any advantage if you go to the sea.”
