Chapter 166 Undercurrent
In other words, He Fan was indeed dead at that time, but later he was infected with the virus and mutated into a zombie.
It seems that even if zombies devour the crystal cores of their own kind, they will also mutate like humans.
Become something between humans and zombies.
Yan Chu looked at Gu Qinyuan: "Didn't you say last time that his blood test results were no different from those of an ordinary human?"
Gu Qinyuan nodded: "The blood cell composition of zombies is completely different from that of humans, but they are already close to humans."
Yan Chu narrowed his eyes slightly.
According to this, if the world consciousness had not been forcibly influencing him, he could have easily disguised himself as a human and lived like Gu Qinyuan.
Apart from Gu Qinyuan and Su Shu, no one else would notice anything wrong.
After hearing Gu Qinyuan's words, Ji Liang's expression grew more serious. "Could it be that if I continue to devour the cores of my own species, I will gradually become another species?"
Yan Chu was stunned.
There is indeed such a possibility, but the reference range is too small.
Perhaps Yuan Lin went berserk and turned into a monster because he couldn't control the power of an A-level devouring mutant.
But He Fan was obviously able to control himself, and his consciousness was always clear.
If He Fan continues to devour zombie crystal cores, will he become closer and closer to humans, or even become a human?
Yan Chu frowned and asked Potato in his heart:
Does the original book have a setting about devouring crystal cores of the same kind?
Potato floated out and scratched his head in confusion.
[I don't think so. The original book only mentioned Ji Liang's experiment, but He Fan stopped it before it even started.]
Yan Chu narrowed his eyes slightly.
So, is this setting originally part of the operating rules of this world, or is it a setting forcibly added by the world consciousness in order to turn He Fan back into a human?
No matter what the actual situation is, it is certain that you will become stronger and stronger after absorbing the power of the crystal core.
He Fan was influenced by the world consciousness again and only wanted to kill her.
The correct approach is to stop He Fan from continuing to absorb the crystal core.

On the day when the base laboratory was officially completed, Ling Ziyue also came to inspect it, but this time, for the first time ever, he did not bring any new information about the zombie gathering place.
Yan Chu raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone inquiring: "Are you sure there is no new information?"
Ling Ziyue couldn't help but chuckle, with a hint of helplessness in her laughter: "Sister, I'm afraid there aren't enough zombies around here for you to kill."
Yan Chu thought about it and agreed.
"Then I can take a break for a while."
Ling Ziyue's eyes curved into crescents: "But as long as I hear new information, I will definitely tell my sister as soon as possible."
Yan Chu couldn't help but laugh: "If you do this, you will be kicked out of the central base in no time."
"I couldn't ask for more," Ling Ziyue's gray eyes sparkled brightly. "Will you take me in then, sister?"
Yan Chu deliberately dragged out his words, pretending to think: "Hmm... This is not easy to do."
Seeing Ling Ziyue's pitiful and aggrieved puppy expression, Yan Chu finally smiled: "I'm just kidding, there are so many empty rooms in the base, you can pick any one you want."
As he spoke, Yan Chu suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, I need to check if the protection of the laboratory is strong enough. It would be bad if something goes wrong."
Ling Ziyue stood there, watching Yan Chu's back disappear at the end of the corridor. The disguised brightness in his eyes quickly faded, and a barely perceptible darkness passed by.
Yan Chu has been staying in the Jiangcheng base for a long time and may not know this yet.
During this period, she specifically targeted the gathering points with the largest and most dangerous zombies and proactively cleared them out, and she returned unscathed every time. This almost legendary feat had long been passed on by word of mouth among the various bases.
In the eyes of many ordinary people and even those with special abilities, she has almost been regarded as a spiritual leader in the end times.
On the other hand, the Central Base has yet to produce any powerful psychic whose strength can be compared with Yan Chu.
The central base that maintains the regime is gradually declining in comparison with Yan Chu's dazzling achievements.
This also led to growing dissatisfaction with Yan Chu within the senior management of the central base.
Even though Ling Ziyue repeatedly emphasized that Yan Chu had no interest in power and politics, the group of old guys who were accustomed to power games still stubbornly judged her by their own standards and believed that she had other intentions.
Therefore, when Yan Chu asked for intelligence as usual recently, the information they provided was not as positive and detailed as before.
After all, the largest and most difficult zombie dens have been eliminated by Yan Chu, and they are capable of dealing with the remaining scattered zombie groups on their own.
They were increasingly unwilling to contribute to Yan Chu's "prestige".
Just the day before arriving at the Jiangcheng base, Ling Ziyue sat in the spacious yet oppressive conference room and clearly heard the undercurrents beneath the high-sounding facades:
[How is it possible that she alone gets all the limelight?]
[Saving the world? Sounds nice, but it's just a way to win people's hearts.]
Does she really think of herself as the savior?
[Extreme religious cults are most likely to arise in the end times, so we must not allow them to develop!]
Ling Ziyue listened to all this with an expressionless face and remained silent.
Finally, a kind-looking middle-aged man patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Ziyue, when you go there this time, tell her that we haven't obtained any new intelligence yet, and ask her to bear with us."
Ling Ziyue twitched the corner of his mouth and replied in a businesslike manner, "Okay."
Afterwards, he went straight to Yang Qianjun's office and reported everything he had heard.
Ling Ziyue sneered: "They are so calculating as to cross the river and then destroy the bridge. It's unbelievable that they can do this."
However, Yang Qianjun did not agree with his words as usual. Instead, he looked at him with a meaningful look and said slowly:
"Xiao Ling, you are still too young. Many things in this world are not black and white. They do this for the sake of overall stability. You should try to understand."
Ling Ziyue paused.
After a moment of silence, he hummed, "I understand."
I almost forgot, we are all birds of a feather.

The laboratory's protection level is higher than you can imagine, and the thick special alloy walls are strong enough to withstand high-intensity impacts.
The outer wall has been specially reinforced, and ordinary supernatural attacks on it would probably not even leave a shallow mark.
There shouldn't be any problem using it to detain those evolved zombies.
So the zombies that she had been keeping in the data room were quickly transferred into the laboratory.
After everything was settled, Yan Chu looked at the only resurrection card in the card book.
She didn't get the second one, so she didn't dare to use this only one to conduct experiments rashly.
What if I can’t get it again in the future?
The central base suddenly became unwilling to provide information. Even if Ling Ziyue didn't say it, she could guess the reason.
But it doesn’t matter, she still has Su Su here.
The strongest support Su Shu, it’s time for you to show your skills!
