"How is my elder brother?" Lu Yisheng stood in front of the transparent bulletproof glass window, with a dark and uncertain look in his eyes as he watched a group of people in white coats examining Lu Chi who was still unconscious.
This is the research institute underground in the base. The entire underground is like an underground city, but there is only one bed in each room, and the surroundings are closed.
"General Lu's situation is very special. His superpowers have already reached level two. Logically, this is unlikely. These newly evolved zombie crystal cores contain a large amount of dark matter. If too much is absorbed too quickly, the person will either become a zombie or their body will be unable to withstand so much dark matter and implode. Each time a crystal core is absorbed, it takes a long time to purify the dark matter from the cores. However, I carefully examined his body. Apart from being unconscious, there is no sign of dark matter in his body. Even the residual dark matter from previous absorption has disappeared completely. He is currently in a state of hibernation and should wake up soon."
A man in his forties with a refined and calm temperament and wearing black-framed glasses stared excitedly at Lu Chi in the ward as he spoke, but there was a hint of regret in his words.
If Lu Chi was just an ordinary person, he could be used for his research. However, Lu Chi not only came from a prominent family, but more importantly, he also held a high position.
"Major Lu, could you please let me draw some more of Admiral Lu's blood for further research? If we can develop something that can counteract dark matter, then we psychics will no longer be limited and unable to improve our abilities!"
Lu Yisheng glanced at the man, and said with a slight smile: "Big brother is my grandfather's darling. If you are not afraid of death and dare to use him as an experimental subject, go ahead."
The middle-aged man thought about it, pondered and weighed it, and knew that he would still need to rely on the Lu family for his future research, so he had to give up. However, fortunately, he had asked the nurse to draw more blood during the routine blood test, and the remaining blood should be enough for his research.
Thinking of this, he didn't want to stay with Lu Yisheng. He nodded to him, then took his assistant to prepare for further research.
As he walked out, he saw a man about ten years younger than him, wearing a white coat, running over breathlessly and saying, "Director Zheng, we've discovered something strange. Come and take a look at the blood sample we collected earlier. We dripped it onto the crystal core of the evolved zombie and found that the blood was rapidly consuming the dark matter in the crystal core, as if it were being purified."
After hearing this, Dean Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up. If this was true, once the crystal cores of the evolved zombies were purified, they could be swallowed directly, which could help ordinary people evolve superpowers.
It can also allow people who already possess superpowers to continuously improve their own strength, which will be the only light for mankind in this doomsday world.
"Contact Mr. Lu for me. I want to report this to him personally," Dean Zheng said seriously. He believed Mr. Lu was a qualified politician. Even if General Lu was his most beloved grandson, he would have to bow down before such absolute power.
"Captain, Gu Xiao has been keeping the news secret. It seems something must have happened!" Not long after Dean Zheng left, Lu Yisheng's confidant came to report.
When Lu Yisheng heard this, he snorted, "I want accurate information. If something really happened to Song Yuan, Gu Xiao wouldn't be so calm."
"Yes...Captain!" The confidant saluted and immediately retreated.
On the other side of the base, Gu Xiao also received the news that Lu Chi had fallen unconscious in the base.
"Lieutenant Colonel, do you think it's possible that the boss met Lu Chi, so he..." One of Gu Xiao's men said cautiously.
After all, back in City B, Lu Chi had always targeted the boss. Whenever he had the chance, he'd kick him when he was down. Of course, the boss had also been trying to trip him up a lot.
Everyone in the special forces knew about Lu Chi's abilities. He could beat him unconscious. Apart from the boss, who else could have such abilities?
"Don't make blind guesses. Regardless of whether we meet Lu Chi or not, the only thing now is to find the boss before they find out." Gu Xiao said seriously.
Although he had this suspicion in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. The Lu family and theirs had always had different political views. Fortunately, Lu Chi was unconscious. Otherwise, if he knew of this opportunity, he would definitely take advantage of it to do something bad.
Although Lu Yisheng is cruel, he is not as ruthless as Lu Chi... otherwise he would not have been sent to City S by the Lu family to manage the base.
In the gymnasium of Qin Qing's school in City S, a man lay convulsing on the basketball court. His once handsome face was now grimacing. If Qin Qing were there, he'd definitely recognize the look of a zombie.
Around him lay a dozen zombies, their heads shot, and he was clutching a pistol tightly in his hand. On his arm, where he held the pistol, there was a tear from a zombie's nails.
There were zombies outside the door banging on it. Song Yuan felt as if he was dragged into a dark hell and was being tortured.
He forced himself to recall what happened before, not letting himself fall into darkness. Otherwise, he would not be able to help but wonder, if he had become a zombie without consciousness?
Song Yuan gave a wry smile, feeling careless for a moment and having been successfully ambushed by Lu Chi. His face was actually twitching constantly, and his expression was completely invisible.
He had always thought the experimental subject was a work-in-progress, but he hadn't expected the Lu family to have successfully researched it! Otherwise, Lu Chi wouldn't have possessed superpowers, and he wouldn't have been so carelessly infected. However, it seemed that superpowers also had flaws: they couldn't last long and were prone to sapling physical energy.
Although he was injured, Lu Chi didn't get any good results either. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to laugh, but an even more painful swallowing feeling came over him, making him shrink into a ball, and then his brain became blank in an instant.
But he was so unwilling, he didn’t want to die… didn’t want to die… didn’t want to die…!
This thought lingered in his mind, and then slowly dissipated. His handsome face, which had been distorted by the blue-black aura, now became completely calm. His originally healthy bronze skin began to turn blue-gray from his face to his hands, and his neatly trimmed nails seemed to have mutated and grown into sharp claws.
The zombies that were banging on the door suddenly became quiet. They were puzzled. Why did the fresh smell of human flesh disappear?
But in a moment, the group of zombies that were banging on the door wandered around and no longer insisted on entering the gymnasium.
