Chapter 315 The Only Way to Combat the Disaster
After Yue Zongyang finished explaining his connection with the Zombie King, Han Shuo stood there stunned.
"So, that's how it is..."
At this moment, Yue Zongyang sighed and said with a melancholy look in his eyes.
"Sigh, it's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
...
That day, when the zombie king escaped from the underground research institute, and when the apocalypse arrived, Yue Zongyang finally realized what was happening.
He knew that he had been blinded by personal desires and had been too eager to pursue fame and power.
He was wrong; he knew he had made a terrible mistake.
But I realized it too late, far too late...
It was too late, after the end of the world had already arrived, too late, because he indirectly caused the deaths of so many people in the world...
In fact, this secret was known to no one except himself and the Zombie King.
He never told anyone else that he didn't want to, and dared not, let others know that he was this kind of person.
But today, as the zombie king attacks this place and the underground research institute is about to be destroyed, Yue Zongyang seems to see his own end.
When he was powerless to do anything more, for some reason, he suddenly felt an urge to vomit, because this secret had been weighing on his heart for far too long...
After he finished telling Han Shuo everything, he felt much, much better...
...
At this moment, Han Shuo was still standing there, stunned.
Although Yue Zongyang only told him the more important parts, he never imagined that the two of them were once master and disciple.
Moreover, judging from Yue Zongyang's words, he was actually the one at fault?
Han Shuo was shocked and asked incredulously to confirm again.
"Director, are you saying that you created the Zombie King?"
"yes!"
The single word left Han Shuo somewhat at a loss.
He calmed himself down and continued to ask.
"So, was the zombie king the cause of the catastrophe two years ago?"
Yue Zongyang did not hide anything and responded directly.
"That's right. When the Zombie King escaped from the underground research institute, he took with him the toxic substances produced from his body."
"And that toxic substance is what everyone calls the ice crystal virus!"
"Soon after, he released the Ice Crystal Virus, and you know what happened next. That's why the apocalypse happened, and zombies appeared all over the world..."
After saying that, Han Shuo took a deep breath.
"Phew~"
At this moment, many of the questions that had puzzled him before were finally answered.
Han Shuo knew that if Yue Zongyang hadn't pursued the gene project, he wouldn't have had disagreements with the Zombie King.
If he hadn't deliberately harmed the zombie king, the zombie king might not have turned into what it is today...
After he fully learned the truth, he unconsciously muttered something to himself.
"The Ice Crystal Virus was released by the Zombie King, but the director is the real culprit behind this apocalypse?"
The next second, he quickly suppressed the shock in his heart.
Although he strongly opposed Yue Zongyang's actions, he understood Yue Zongyang's reasons from the other party's perspective.
Simply put, it means forgetting one's true self and being blinded by selfishness and ambition.
Han Shuo knew that, no matter when or where, there were many, many people like this...
When the benefits are great enough, many people will succumb.
They even go so far as to violate moral boundaries and succumb to temptation to do things that only benefit themselves.
The human heart is the most complex thing...
...
That's why, even though Han Shuo knew the truth, he didn't have time to criticize Yue Zongyang, because his time was limited.
The underground research institute is now on the verge of destruction. Every minute he lingers here reduces his chances of a safe evacuation.
Han Shuo was too lazy to offer any moralistic criticism; he just wanted to get more useful information from Yue Zongyang.
By this time, he already knew that the Zombie King was humanity's greatest enemy.
Very little was known about the Zombie King, and some of the secrets were known only to Yue Zongyang.
The more secrets he uncovers now, the easier it will be for everyone to escape later.
The next moment, Han Shuo's eyes turned serious.
In fact, there was a question that had been troubling him for a long time, and today he had to get to the bottom of it.
Because this issue is of utmost importance!
Then, he asked in a solemn tone.
"Chief, since you already knew about the Zombie King's existence, why didn't you kill him beforehand?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Zongyang seemed to have guessed that Han Shuo would ask this question. He shook his head with a wry smile and then slowly told him.
"I know what you mean. You mean why I didn't use heavy weapons to solve this problem remotely?"
"Yes, that's right!"
Han Shuo continued.
“We had already confirmed that the Zombie King was in Zombie City some time ago. I believe that with the strength of the underground research institute, we definitely have the means to destroy it directly!”
"Even if it costs the price of an entire city..."
Although he didn't know if there were nuclear weapons in the underground research institute, he did know that Yue Zongyang was capable of destroying a city with artillery fire.
In Han Shuo's view, isn't this the simplest way to solve the problem?
Even if the Zombie King is incredibly strong, can it withstand all of humanity's large-scale weapons?
Once the zombie king, who is the leader, dies, no matter how many zombies are outside, these undead who only act on instinct will not pose a fatal threat to the underground research institute.
He couldn't understand why Yue Zongyang would rather risk waging war against the Death Legion than carry out the decapitation plan.
...
"No, we can't kill the zombie king directly with heavy weapons."
"Why?"
Just as Han Shuo was wondering, Yue Zongyang gave an explanation.
"Because doing so would mean that we have lost the only way to deal with all the zombies in the world."
Han Shuo didn't quite understand the meaning of those words and was about to ask when Yue Zongyang interrupted him.
Sigh~
He sighed and continued.
"As I just mentioned, during the previous gene modification project, when the Zombie King was the source body, his body produced three substances."
"One is a harmful substance, the impurities excreted after the genes of various organisms mixed in his body have deteriorated, which is the ice crystal virus."
"One type is a substance that is beneficial to humans, namely a purified turbid liquid."
"And the last substance is something that can kill all ice crystal viruses; this substance will remain in his heart forever."
"I've named this substance Black Blood."
At this point, Yue Zongyang's eyes suddenly became much more resolute.
"The heavy weapons will kill the zombie king and destroy the black blood in his body at the same time."
"Only if we obtain the intact black blood from his heart can we kill all the zombies outside."
"This is the only way to completely quell this disaster..."
