As Lu Yuan read the number 300,000, he felt a slight jolt in his heart.
If everyone on this ship turned into ghouls, then 300,000 ghouls would be an overwhelming sight.
Even with everyone in the camp armed with a gun, they couldn't stop the horde of zombies.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but shudder. This was definitely a disaster, an unprecedented disaster, and he had to prevent it from happening.
After a moment of contemplation, he immediately made a decision.
"If everyone on this ark mutates, then we must exterminate everyone on the ark. If so many cannibals were to be released, it would be an unprecedented disaster for us."
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, his family members nodded in agreement.
“That’s right, we must eliminate all these cannibals. They are currently in a confined space, which is our best opportunity to eliminate them. If we let this opportunity slip by, it will have a huge impact on our future work.”
"Yes, while we still have the ability to deal with them, we must get rid of them as soon as possible. Otherwise, once these cannibals have grown in number and emerged from this ark, we will no longer have a way to deal with them."
"Sigh, it's really pitiful. Three hundred thousand people. I don't know how many of them are people we know, but the thought of wiping them all out makes me feel a little reluctant. But now is not the time to be soft-hearted; we have to be tough."
“That’s right, Lu Yuan, give the order. We must kill these ghouls as soon as possible. Once they come out, we really won’t be a match for them. We also need to think about our future!”
"..."
Family members expressed their opinions one after another, and even the hundred or so people who came with them nodded in agreement.
Xu Changbing's expression was even more solemn. He felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about the 300,000 cannibals.
"Three hundred thousand ghouls, let alone us, even if we sent everyone in the camp, we might not be able to defeat them!"
Three hundred thousand cannibals—that's an absolutely terrifying number, and there are even more cannibals underwater right now!
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something Qiao Ya had said to him.
Qiao Ya once told her that the mutation of ghouls mainly comes from a large number of ghouls gathering together and devouring each other, which leads to the mutation of the ghoul virus.
Therefore, the more ghouls gather in a place, the more likely higher-level ghouls will appear. However, these ghouls are not as contagious as the first and second-level ghouls.
Because after the second-tier ghouls, their evolutionary method is no longer simply based on the mutation of viruses within their bodies.
The main way they mutate is by devouring lower-level ghouls, a method similar to what Lu Yuan had seen in various novels before.
The more it devours, the faster it evolves and the stronger its abilities become. Moreover, each type of ghoul possesses different abilities.
Some of them can even evolve to have extremely high speeds. According to Lu Yuan's calculations, there may even be T-type ghouls, S-type ghouls, or even more terrifying Z-type ghouls.
The thought of those cannibals from online novels appearing in front of him made Lu Yuan realize he absolutely couldn't let this opportunity slip by.
After a moment of deep thought, he decided to take his men to check the size of the ship and make a decision only if there were no other exits.
The sky was still so dark, making their movements even more difficult.
It seems that even the heavens are on the side of the cannibals, helping them. The more gloomy the sky becomes, the more difficult it is to investigate, especially since they can no longer freely appear on the water's surface.
Because they cannot determine exactly how many cannibals are in the water, they are almost completely oblivious to the other side of the problem.
Lu Yuan could hardly see the end of this enormous warship, which was about two thousand meters long and one thousand meters wide, at a glance.
But there was no other way; the things that needed to be checked still had to be checked. They could only try various methods to check the warship's location.
Later, Lu Yuan found the drone he had previously purchased online on his boat.
The drone's battery had some problems, and the power was dropping very quickly. In order to prevent the drone from suddenly falling into the water when it was half-used, Lu Yuan specially equipped it with a new battery, which delayed them for a long time.
Fortunately, the drone's camera was the most advanced at the time, with 4K high-definition video and an ultra-wide-angle lens, capturing images with excellent detail, especially in night scene photography where it was almost flawless.
Of course, Lu Yuan spent a lot of money when he bought this drone.
When Lu Yuan's drone arrived at the side of the Ark, he witnessed a horrifying scene.
On the computer screen, a small deck appeared on the other side of the ark, and the deck was densely packed with people.
They huddled in that corner, with only the vast expanse of water outside.
When these people saw a drone appear, they waved their hands frantically.
Lu Yuan and everyone else were stunned. They stared in astonishment, mouths agape, at the people who had appeared on the screen.
Just as Lu Yuan lowered the drone's altitude slightly and turned on its lights, illuminating everyone below, those below couldn't help but cover their eyes, clearly unable to withstand the intense light.
Lu Yuan then got a clear look at these people. They were all dressed in rags, barely clothed, and their original skin color was no longer visible.
They were all so thin they looked like skeletons. Lu Yuan didn't know how they had survived for so long, but seeing how hungry they were, it was clear they had been starving for a very, very long time.
Lu Yuan even found several corpses among their crowd that had been eaten down to their skeletons.
Lu Yuan knew that they had started eating people due to extreme hunger.
Then Lu Yuan continued to fly the drone toward them. Finally, when the light shone behind them, he could see that there were even more people in this place.
Behind them was a steel plate that had been blocked by an iron gate.
At that moment, a faint sound was detected from the drone.
Someone was shouting loudly at the drone.
"Help! Help! We're not infected! We're not infected!"
