Chapter 171 Genius and Madman
Chi Wan was a little confused when he heard this: "You mean, his gene sequence can restrain your superpowers? That shouldn't be the case. Isn't yours the perfect sequence?"
How could a perfect sequence be restrained?
Li Xingye smiled and said, "The so-called perfect sequence is just a term. It is more targeted at zombies than people with special abilities. They lack the necessary sequence when they are transformed, which is why they become neither human nor ghost. They also hope to find the part they need from ordinary people or people with special abilities.
"But during this period, the Bayi Base also shared some of their research results with us and corrected some of our previous views. The crystal core energy of zombies and the superpowers of superpowers do have something in common, but this process is one-way and irreversible.
"So no matter how many mutants the zombies devour, the result is only evolution, not reversal into humans. The biggest difference between zombies and mutants is the way they store energy.
"The energy storage area of the mutants is the brain. The bodies and brains of zombies have long been dead, leaving only the most primitive instincts. Their energy is deposited in the original location of the brain and turned into crystal cores."
Chi Wan seemed to understand, but she was a little suspicious of how the Bayi Base came to this conclusion: "Could this also be the result of their experiments?"
Li Xingye shook his head. "It was revealed by Shuguang. Their leader seems to be losing control of himself, which leads to frequent riots in their base. Especially when the leader's ability is out of control, some of the controlled people can temporarily break free from control and escape from the base."
Chi Wan understood: "Just like Sister Yu Shuang and the others... So, no wonder those zombies target people's brains after attacking them..."
Don't think about this too much, it's easy to get nauseous.
But what Li Xingye said cannot prove that the leader of Dawn is Li Mingyu, unless he has other sources of information.
As expected, Li Xingye continued, “Ding Yao said before that Li Mingyu turned into a zombie king. I think this might be an attempt after his ability reorganization failed.”
Chi Wan's eyes widened upon hearing this: "You mean, he turned himself into a zombie on purpose?! But why... I know, it's a psychic ability, right?! Psychic abilities put too much pressure on a person's mental strength, especially the damage to the brain, which will increase exponentially as the level of the ability increases."
So, Li Mingyu, who did not get the treatment effect he wanted for various reasons, in madness and despair, when he discovered the zombies' energy supply method, would he make a desperate move and turn himself into a zombie, thereby blocking all this at the root?
Chi Wan murmured, "But turning into a zombie just to avoid a mental breakdown doesn't sound very normal... Or maybe he has other things to rely on, such as the perfect sequence."
Li Xingye pinched Chi Wan's cheek in admiration: "Our Wan Wan is really smart. Psychic abilities are a double-edged sword. Li Mingyu is indeed a genius, but he is also a lunatic."
Otherwise, he would not be able to create the doomsday world single-handedly.
Although the world might have slowly changed under the huge amount of radiation even without him, the existing fact is that his actions completely accelerated and even changed this process.
No one can judge what has not happened, so it is hard to say whether the end of the world would still be the same without Li Mingyu.
However, his research has never stopped, and he has been exploring the connection between superpowers and zombies.
According to those who escaped from the Dawn, what the Dawn leader wanted was a "completely new world".
Li Xingye can now talk about everything about Li Mingyu very calmly, with a tone as indifferent as if he was talking about a stranger.
"In the timeline that Ding Yao saw, he got my sequence first. In addition, he had enough experimental data to prove that high-level zombies can develop self-awareness. Except for the different energy systems after their bodies lose their vitality, they seem to be no different from ordinary psychics.
"That's why he chose to assimilate himself into a zombie without hesitation. Based on his research results, he can easily complete the transformation into a zombie."
Hearing this, Chi Wan suddenly discovered something strange: "If that's the case, then why did Ding Yao say before that Li Mingyu got your sequence in order to become a human again? Or did he just hear it from others and didn't really come into contact with the truth?"
Li Xingye led Chi Wan to stand up, looking at the attackers wrapped in the overwhelming green vines outside the space, and chuckled: "Maybe, but now all the prerequisites have changed, and we don't know what the truth is in the line that Ding Yao saw at the beginning.
"But there is one thing that is beyond doubt. Psychic users rely on their own mental power, which is far superior to that of ordinary people. In other words, the activity of the brain itself. But once they become zombies, even if they can generate their own consciousness, how can they compare with their psychic selves?"
Chi Wan followed Li Xingye's gaze and looked outside: "It's like, a person who was once very powerful has to start from scratch? When the problem that has been bothering him is solved, he will miss the powerful self before.
"In that case, in the timeline we are in now, he can't find a way to heal his mental power, so he can only continue to attack you, try to get your sequence, and then... um, turn into a zombie?"
It feels very strange to say this.
Li Xingye was amused by Chi Wan's expression and said seriously, "After all, the results of many choices are unknown until the end, and people always like to beautify the option that was not chosen. Li Mingyu is still troubled by the uncontrollable supernatural power, so naturally he can't care so much.
"But it's hard to say whether he had such an idea because of Ding Yao. Otherwise, at this point in time, in order to obtain my sequence, he is even willing to take out the original gene sample that has been well preserved... It should have some influence."
Chi Wan nodded and didn't continue the topic. The two of them left the space together.
The attackers had despairedly thought they would die at the hands of Li Xingye, but they did not expect that Li Xingye disappeared after controlling them.
Feeling that they had escaped death, they had just begun to rejoice and try to break free from the vines, when Li Xingye and Chi Wan suddenly appeared in front of them.
The leader's voice was trembling: "You really do have spatial abilities! I guess it has something to do with this woman!"
Li Xingye was not so gentle when facing them.
He snapped his fingers, and the emerald green vines that looked like newborns began to flow along their flesh until they were completely reduced to powder, leaving only the black protective clothing.
