Chapter 152 What if it's a human?
Cultivate powerful superpowers?
Yan Chu sneered in his heart, thinking that out of ten people with special abilities, he would have to kill nine and keep one alive.
What's the difference between this and raising a Gu? In the end, it will definitely do more harm than good, and it will even lead to humans killing each other.
She continued to ask: "Since there are no successful cases, how did you come to this conclusion? What is the theoretical basis?"
"I've personally seen evolved zombies devouring their own crystal cores," Ji Liang's eyes flashed with enthusiasm. "If zombies can do it, why can't humans? Whether it's humans or zombies, the crystal cores in their brains are essentially the same thing..."
"What did you say?" Yan Chu suddenly interrupted him, his eyes stern, "Will evolved zombies actively devour their own kind?"
Ji Liang was suppressed by Yan Chu's sudden aura and subconsciously took a step back: "Yes, yes, I saw it with my own eyes..."
The huge monster that devoured 60,000 zombies suddenly flashed through Yan Chu's mind.
Could it be that the zombies also turned into that because they kept devouring the crystal cores of their own kind?
"When the base fell tomorrow, did you notice anything unusual?" Yan Chu asked seriously.
Ji Liang was stunned and shook his head: "I don't know. When I realized something was wrong, the base was already full of zombies. I was lucky to escape."
"What about the others? Among those who escaped, is there anyone who knows the details?"
Ji Liang still shook his head: "To be honest, I'm not that familiar with the others. We just happened to escape together..."
Yan Chu lowered his eyes and glanced at the lie identification bracelet on his wrist.
The bracelet remained a steady green, indicating that Ji Liang was not lying.
He had never seen the monster, nor did he know why the Tomorrow Base fell.
But Yan Chu intuitively felt that the research Ji Liang mentioned was closely related to that monster.
Ji Liang may not know it, but his research is very dangerous.
Let’s find a way to stabilize him first.
Yan Chu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I still say that the lab is not short of people, but if you can compile all your previous research content into a book and hand it over to me, I can consider reserving a position for you."
Ji Liang was stunned for a moment, then smiled excitedly: "I'll go back and prepare!"
After saying goodbye to Ji Liang, Yan Chu returned to his residence. Gu Qinyuan had already prepared a table of delicious dishes.
"Didn't you say you were just going to see Wu Yingzhou?" Gu Qinyuan looked at her with his dark eyes, "Why did you take so long?"
Yan Chu sat at the dining table, propping up his chin as he pondered Ji Liang's words. He tilted his head and asked Gu Qinyuan:
"I have a question. Will zombies eat the crystal cores of their own kind?"
Gu Qinyuan shook his head: "No."
Yan Chu was stunned: "Why did you give the answer so quickly? Don't you want to think about it?"
Gu Qinyuan couldn't help but chuckle, his tone somewhat helpless: "I am a zombie, don't I know it?"
Yan Chu: “…That’s right.”
Gu Qinyuan looked so much like a human that she would often forget that he was actually a zombie king with extremely terrifying strength.
"But I've never seen you absorb a mutant's core. No, your words are too irrelevant. I'm going to go ask those real zombies next door."
Gu Qinyuan: “…”
He was now kicked out of the ranks of "real zombies".
After dinner, Yan Chu and Gu Qinyuan went to the data room next door, where the three zombies captured from the central base were kept.
As soon as he reached the door of the information room, Yan Chu heard a rustling sound coming from inside.
She opened the door in confusion, and saw four evolved zombies sitting around a mahjong table. Wang Xiaoer was shouting "Win!" with a smile on his face.
When they heard the door open, four faces turned around.
Yan Chu: “……?”
What kind of magical scene is this?
Seeing Gu Qinyuan's sudden return, Wang Xiaoer, who was in high spirits just now, immediately put away the smile on his face, stood up abruptly and stood away from the other three zombies, as if drawing a clear line between them.
"King, I...I am carrying out the mission you assigned to me."
Wang Xiaoer rubbed his hands guiltily.
The third-level zombie glanced at Wang Xiaoer with disdain and ruthlessly exposed it: "Wang, it was it who taught us how to play."
"You!" Wang Xiaoer glared at it angrily, "You're treacherous!"
Yan Chu: “…”
Very good, you can use idioms now. It seems that Hu Zi’s teaching results are good.
"I came here to ask you a question," Yan Chu said seriously, "Will zombies eat the crystal cores of other zombies?"
Upon hearing this, the Level 3 zombie's scarlet eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. "Are you, are you even talking like a human being?"
It exaggeratedly covered its chest, looking as if it had been greatly shocked: "We zombies have our limits too, okay!"
Several other evolved zombies on the side also nodded.
Yan Chu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Then if someone saw a zombie eating the crystal core of its own kind, what do you think is the reason?"
The third-level zombie twitched his mouth, looking nauseous. "Then he must be crazy, yeah, definitely crazy."
Wang Xiaoer also came over and gestured seriously: "In our eyes, the crystal cores of our kind are just like your human hearts. Would you eat a human heart?"
Yan Chu: “…”
Indeed not, she couldn't think of any other reason except that he had pica or was crazy.
As the night deepened, Yan Chu lay in bed, still thinking about the giant monster.
Gu Qinyuan put his arms around her waist from behind and kissed her soft long hair: "Can't sleep?"
"Hmm," Yan Chu blinked, "I don't know why, but I feel like something is wrong."
She turned around and buried herself in Gu Qinyuan's embrace: "I can't figure it out at all. Could it be that the zombies really went crazy and ate all of their own kind?"
"That monster is not a zombie," Gu Qinyuan said in a calm voice, "Although it did devour many zombies, its true form is not a zombie."
Yan Chu was stunned and looked up at Gu Qinyuan: "But when we finally defeated it, didn't it drop a crystal core as big as a level 3 zombie?"
Gu Qinyuan couldn't help but chuckle, raised his hand and pinched her soft cheek: "Miss, think about it, are only zombies able to possess crystal cores?"
When Yan Chu heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Yes, zombies are not the only ones that have crystal cores.
She fell into a misunderstanding. She had always preconceived that the huge monster was a zombie, or a mutant of a zombie.
But what if that giant monster is actually a human?
