"Hey, Lu Xiaonan, are we dreaming?" Du Xu stared blankly at Xiao Xiao, who was running into the horde of zombies, and asked me.
I frowned, surprised, but not as shocked as Du Xu. After all, it was the first time he had met such a person, so it was normal for him to find it hard to believe.
As I watched Xiao Xiao run into the horde of zombies, and saw her moving freely among them, I became puzzled. Didn't Wang Xintong not have this ability? I remember when I first met her, she, Huang Yiyang, and their classmates were all being attacked by zombies. Logically speaking, she should be afraid of zombies.
But if she's afraid of zombies, how do you explain the current situation?
Could it be because of his personality?
Could it be...?
My eyes lit up, and I had some guesses in my mind, but I didn't know if they were right or wrong. I could only wait until Xiao Xiao came out of there to find out.
A dozen minutes later, Xiao Xiao came out of the southeast residential area and returned to us, saying to me, "There is no one in your photo inside."
I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard that.
Xiao Xiao continued, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back."
"Wait a minute!" I called out hurriedly.
Xiao Xiao looked at me with a puzzled expression. "Is there anything else?"
I said, "There is indeed something I need to ask you. I want to know if, besides yourself, there is anyone else in your personality who has this ability—the ability to freely move through hordes of zombies?"
Xiao Xiao shook her head and said, "No, only I can do this. Is there a problem?"
"Is it just you..." I smiled slightly, understanding a little, and said, "I understand, thank you. I'm fine now, you can go back. I'll call you if I need anything."
As soon as I finished speaking, Xiao Xiao didn't say goodbye. She simply closed her eyes and disappeared. When she opened her eyes again, Wang Xintong appeared.
Wang Xintong looked at me and asked, "Are you done?"
I nodded and said, "Alright, everything's taken care of. By the way, is Chu Yu still sleeping?"
Honestly, I really hope Chu Yu can come out, because if she does, she can help me analyze the situation here.
Wang Xintong shook her head and said, "Not yet. She said she's going to sleep until tomorrow morning, so she won't be coming out today."
I was a little disappointed and said, "Okay, then let's leave it at that for now. You stay here with me for now, and call us if you need anything."
"Okay, sure."
I glanced at the convenience store not far away; the woman inside was still unconscious and motionless.
Du Xu pulled me aside and asked, "Hey, hey, hey, you saw what Wang Xintong did just now, right? How could that be?! How could she run straight into a horde of zombies and not get bitten? How did she do that?!"
In response to Du Xu's question, I said, "I'm not very clear about this matter either, but the person who ran in just now was Wang Xintong's fourth personality, named Xiao Xiao. Only her personality can do this; the other three personalities cannot."
Du Xu was taken aback. "Um, could you explain it more clearly? You're making me very confused."
I said, "Okay, let me put it another way. Actually, I met people who weren't afraid of zombies a long time ago."
Du Xu stared in surprise.
I continued, "As for who it is, I can't tell you. This person who isn't afraid of zombies is just like Xiao Xiao from before, able to move freely through hordes of zombies. I think besides her and Xiao Xiao, there must be many other people in the world just like them."
Du Xu understood this time and said, "You mean there are actually many people in this world who aren't afraid of zombies? And won't get bitten to death by zombies like us ordinary people?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, there must be many people like that in this world."
“But…” Du Xu looked at me with surprise, “But this is really not right. We are all human, so why are they not afraid of zombies, but we are the ones who get bitten to death by them?”
I said, "I don't know, but I have a guess, though I don't know if it's right or wrong."
"What guess?" Du Xu asked curiously.
Wang Xintong, who had been watching us from a distance, came over a few steps out of curiosity after hearing our conversation, seemingly wanting to hear my answer.
I said, "It should be MC."
Upon hearing this, Du Xu asked in confusion, "What the heck?"
I explained, “It’s a molecule that everyone has on the surface of their cells, and everyone’s molecule is different, just like our D, it’s different for everyone.”
Du Xu still didn't understand and asked, "I still don't understand what you're saying."
I was a little helpless. After thinking about how to phrase it, I continued, "How should I put it? Simply put, it's your own natural antibodies. Because of these natural antibodies, zombies might mistake them for one of their own, which is why they aren't attacked. As for us ordinary people, we don't have these natural antibodies against the zombie virus, so we can't avoid being attacked by zombies. Do you understand now?"
Du Xu nodded. "I understand much better now. So you mean that only they have these so-called innate antibodies?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know about that. Actually, we all have these kinds of innate antibodies, but the viruses they fight are different. For example, some people's antibodies are against the flu virus, while others' are against the zombie virus. It's just that they are the ones who are fighting it, while we are not."
Du Xu nodded slightly, "But if that's the case, then it doesn't make sense. How do you explain Wang Xintong? Why can she only become like that when she has her fourth personality?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know about that, but I guess it's related to multiple personality disorder. A long time ago, there was a case of multiple personality disorder crimes abroad. Each of his personalities had a skill. Some knew many foreign languages, some knew music, some knew how to kill, and so on. I think Wang Xintong is like that. Each of her personalities has its own ability."
"However, don't overthink it. What I've said is just my own speculation based on what I know. As for whether it's true or not, I really don't know."
Du Xu said, "Oh, I see. But if what you said is true, I think there might be hope for humanity!"
I gave a wry smile, knowing what he wanted to say, and said, "I know you want to say that if we could develop antibodies from these people, wouldn't we be saved?"
"yes!"
I shook my head and said, "It's not that easy. The whole world has fallen. Where are you going to find equipment and personnel to conduct research?"
