Chapter 121
Capital? Base.
Both Mr. Feng and Mr. Su looked serious, even a little depressed.
As the most important laboratory in Flower Country, the people inside are not only carefully selected, but their background and character are also important points of examination.
However, if one is smart but not loyal to the Flower Kingdom, the harm caused will be much greater than if such a person is missing.
Like Zou Yi, both of his parents are scientific researchers. He has shown extraordinary talent since he was a child. He was specially recruited into the top scientific research university in Huaguo when he was a teenager. He came to this laboratory in his early twenties and has been there for more than ten years.
Whether it is interpersonal relationships or personal experiences, they are all simple to the extreme.
Especially after the end of the world, he basically never left the laboratory. How could such a person suddenly do such a thing?
Besides, the defenses of the laboratory and the base are so tight, and Zou Yi has no special abilities. How could a thin and weak scientific researcher dodge so many inspections and disappear so cleanly?
"Nothing was found, it was like it disappeared into thin air."
The person who reported this was the chief director of the laboratory, a highly respected old professor. His face was full of apologies, and he had an absolute and unshirkable responsibility for what happened.
"Zou Yi's usual records and information are all there, and there's nothing unusual about them."
Yes, he only took away Shen Luoyun's body. He didn't know whether he was too late or too disdainful to take the other things.
Some people suspected that it was the residual spirit of Shen Luoyun that misled Zou Yi, and some speculated that Zou Yi had discovered some big secret and fled with the "corpse".
Lin Luo did not interrupt the group of people who were analyzing Zou Yi's motives.
She recalled the only time she met Zou Yi half a year ago, when Lin Luo made a judgment.
He is a person with a strong will.
Such people tend to get stuck in a rut.
There is no result from the discussion. Now is different from before the end of the world. Finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
This meeting ended in vain, and everyone was worried that Lin Luo would become the target of Zou Yi's revenge.
The majority of people tend to believe that Zou Yi was bewitched by Shen Luoyun, and Shen Luoyun’s enemy is naturally Lin Luo.
All the people in Zhoujiawu were transferred to the South China base as soon as possible to avoid any irreversible accidents.
Logically, Lin Luo and Yun Shu should stay in the base at this time, but Lin Luo expressed his desire to return to Zhoujiawu.
Her intuition told her that she needed to go back.
Mr. Feng and the others couldn't persuade Lin Luo, so they could only ask Yao Haichao to send the two back.
In just one day, Zhoujiawu suddenly became quiet and deserted.
Without the laughter of children playing and the joyful conversations of adults, the manor seemed particularly lonely in the night.
Without people, dead things are still dead things.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening. The three of them had some food and then Yao Haichao went to his room to rest.
Lin Luo had no intention of resting at all.
She and Yunshu were strolling along the only street leading to the outside of Zhoujiawu, and no one spoke first.
In the end, it was Lin Luo who broke the silence first.
"Yun Shu, are you scared?"
Yun Shu's eyebrows curved slightly, as if what Lin Luo asked was a very ordinary question that did not require any entanglement or thinking.
"As long as I'm with Luo Luo, I'm not afraid of anything, not even death."
Lin Luo laughed. How did Yun Shu turn a serious question and answer session into something like a sweet talk? A new skill?
She stopped and didn't move forward.
"Me too."
"So, Professor Zou wants to come out and see me?"
Yun Shu's eyes instantly became sharp, and he was ready to strike at any time.
The next second, a white figure slowly walked towards them from a distance. Obviously, this distance was not far for Yun Shu. I don’t know why I didn’t notice it before.
But when Professor Zou approached, Yun Shu noticed something strange.
There were no footsteps or breathing sounds, and no smell on the body. It was like air, omnipresent yet undetectable.
"Lin Luo."
Zou Yi looked at the young woman in front of him and said, "The people at the base are still guessing when you'll reach level nine. It seems they underestimated you."
Zou Yi talked a little more than when he was in the laboratory, and his expression was not as tense, but rather relaxed.
In fact, to some extent, he and Chen Luoyun are really quite similar.
The same genius, the same persistence, and the same... madness!
Lin Luo took a step forward. "Did you come here specially to see me? What level am I?"
There was no murderous intent or fighting spirit in Zou Yi, and it was rare for Lin Luo not to start a fight as soon as they met.
Zou Yi shook his head, "I wanted to come and see you. What would a person like Shen Luoyun be like if he cared so much about you?"
"Now it seems that it is not like this."
Lin Luo didn't show any anger when she heard this. She was just another person, just like Zou Yi said. "In the eyes of a genius like Coach Zou, I'm just an ordinary person."
Yun Shu wanted to interrupt, but was stopped by Lin Luo.
Seeing this, Zou Yi suddenly laughed out loud, "You have self-awareness? That's true."
Perhaps feeling that he had talked too much nonsense, Zou Yi finally got to the point.
"Lin Luo, you are definitely a genius in terms of supernatural powers. Even Shen Luoyun is not as good as you."
Just now you said she was nothing special, and now you are praising her again. Are all genius ideas so leaps and bounds?
Seeing that Lin Luo didn't want to respond, Zou Yi continued speaking.
"But do you know what the ratio of people with special abilities is to ordinary people? And what's the ratio to zombies?"
--Know.
Lin Luo answered in his heart that two-thirds of the world's population had turned into zombies, and only one-quarter of the remaining one-third had gained superpowers.
But Zou Yi didn't need Lin Luo's answer, so he continued talking to himself.
"People with special abilities make up less than one-tenth of the total population, yet they command at least two-thirds of society's resources."
"If society continues to develop, the zombies will eventually be eliminated. Who do you think will be in charge of society then?"
"A mutant!"
"It must be them! Ordinary people will be reduced to lower-class citizens, only responsible for the most arduous and unskilled work."
"Once you're born ordinary, your life is sealed."
Lin Luo continued to remain silent, but Zou Yi became excited.
"The hospital doesn't need doctors, it just needs people with healing abilities. There are also people with strength abilities for manual labor, and with people with water abilities, there's no need to worry about water."
"There are people like you who have psychic abilities. There are so many things you can do."
"Listen? It's beautiful, isn't it?"
"But what about ordinary people? The lab has had data for years. Even two people with special abilities can give birth to ordinary children, but two ordinary people have the same chance of giving birth to a person with special abilities. Everything is random."
"That is to say, there will always be ordinary people!"
After saying so much in one breath, Zou Yi finally paused, "Do you understand what this means?"
Lin Luo looked at Zou Yi, and at this moment she seemed to understand something.
That’s right, there has always been a conflict between ordinary people and those with superpowers. It broke out at the very beginning of the South China base, but because of the common enemy - zombies, this conflict was temporarily suppressed.
But when the zombies are killed and everything returns to normal, this contradiction is inevitable.
It's a cruel fact that ordinary people are really at a disadvantage in all aspects.
To put it bluntly, there are things that people with special abilities can do that ordinary people cannot do, but there are also things that ordinary people can do that people with special abilities can do as well.
Maybe we can still uphold the concept of "equality for all" in the next few years, but what about ten or twenty years later?
When a group loses its advantages, it is extremely easy to be exploited or...eliminated!
In her previous life, Lin Luo failed in her attempt to reach the god level and did not see the days after the end of the apocalypse, but in this life, she will definitely witness it.
"You understand, don't you?"
Zou Yi smiled. "Of course, these have nothing to do with you, Lin Luo. You have superpowers, and they are so powerful. You can live well at any time."
"Look at this place. It's so beautiful."
Lin Luo finally spoke, "So? What do you want to do?"
Having said so much, what exactly do you want to do?
Zou Yi put away his smile, "Chen Luoyun did have a backup plan, but in the end, I won."
"And I also saw a possibility from him."
"People can turn into zombies, rational, thinking zombies. After becoming zombies, their strength, speed, and other abilities will increase, and they can advance like psychics."
"Tell me, if ordinary people became zombies, would their lives be better?"
Shen Luoyun is an example of a human turning into a zombie, but he relied on his powerful mental strength to resist the erosion, which ordinary people simply cannot do.
Moreover, zombies have no blood and no sense of pain. Not only do they prefer flesh and blood, but they are also infertile. Lin Luo does not like children, but she also knows the importance of children to the development of human society.
"Have you figured out how to turn ordinary people into zombies?"
Zou Yi smiled, "Just a little bit more."
Is Zou Yi really a genius? In fact, he has been thinking about this question since the beginning of the apocalypse.
Unfortunately, he never found the best solution until he met "Chen Luoyun", who was now only a disabled body left.
I learned that his body was that of a zombie, but his mind was that of a human.
At this moment, Zou Yi knew it.
The method I have been searching for for so long has finally appeared!
"Lin Luo, I still need one more verification."
“You are more powerful than Shen Luoyun, and you must be able to maintain your sanity.”
This guy!
Before Zou Yi finished speaking, Lin Luo already understood what he meant.
He actually wanted Lin Luo to turn into a zombie as well?
"By the time I finish this experiment, I'll definitely be able to perfect that last bit!"
After saying this, Zou Yi looked at Lin Luo with almost burning eyes, as if to say, you are the only one missing!
As long as I have you, everything is solved!
"Why?" Lin Luo sneered, "Why should I? Promise you to turn me into a zombie?"
Did you think it was a magical girl transforming? She can change at will and change back again.
Of course Zou Yi also thought of this.
"Zombies' bodies are stronger than humans'."
Lin Luo was disdainful, "I am already the strongest!"
"But you'll die one day sooner or later. A zombie's body can extend your lifespan several times over!"
The supernatural power has strengthened his body. With Lin Luo's current strength, he will have no problem living for more than two hundred years if nothing unexpected happens.
But she also did not deny that zombies did live longer than humans.
You know, longevity or immortality has always been the lifelong pursuit of many strong people.
Because they desire power, desire continued glory, and desire so many things, and the prerequisite for all of these is to be alive.
"Also, if you succeed, Yunshu next to you can do it too."
"Don't you guys want to be together forever?"
Maybe Lin Luo is not that interested in power, but what about love?
Zou Yi himself has never been in a relationship, but he has studied topics related to dopamine secretion in the past. Women tend to pay more attention to this aspect.
No matter how strong Lin Luo is, can he really not care about anything?
