Chapter 152 Signal
"It turns out you guys rummaged through my things," Dr. Zhou smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. "I thought it was Dr. Bai who rummaged through it."
Pei Zhuangzhou apologized with an embarrassed smile, "I'm very sorry about this matter. We were really attracted by your conclusion at that time. If it weren't for the conditions, we would definitely stay and wait for you to wake up."
"It's okay, it's okay. Do you mind if I smoke a cigarette?" Dr. Zhou asked.
"Of course not." Pei Zhuangzhou said.
Li Gengrong shook his head.
The sound of a lighter rang in the office, and Li Gengrong continued to watch Peizhuang Zhou in silence as he communicated with Dr. Zhou like a dog.
"I also have some basis for my conclusion about the zombie wave. At that time, I read a lot of investigation reports and mission reports and collected the feelings of many frontline soldiers. Of course, the most important basis is myself." Dr. Zhou took a puff of cigarette. Relieved the fatigue.
Pei Zhuangzhou sat a little closer and asked softly, "I can understand both the report and the frontline feelings. What does this last one mean?"
"Point here." Dr. Zhou exhaled smoke and raised his finger to point to his head.
"..." Pei Zhuangzhou.
"..." Li Gengrong.
What do you mean?
Based on your own wisdom?
Li Gengrong looked at Dr. Zhou in confusion for a moment, and then looked at Pei Zhuangzhou.
Pei Zhuangzhou was stunned at first, thinking the same thing as Li Gengrong, but he quickly realized and his eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean your superpower can detect the signals of those zombies?"
"You can say that, but you can't say that." Dr. Zhou said while smoking a cigarette.
"...Then, Dr. Zhou, can you talk to us in detail?" Pei Zhuangzhou immediately sat up straight and asked.
"This is nothing to hide," Dr. Zhou smiled and said hoarsely, "Ever since I had this power, I have been receiving some strange signals for a long time. At first, I was just curious. I didn't expect it. I have to explore it in the future. After all, from the beginning of the end of the world to now, I have only had super powers for half a year, so I have no time to study that thing."
"Until the last time I received a signal, the signal was very strange. Not long after that, a zombie wave occurred. I thought it was too strange. So I observed some phenomena of the zombie wave and hypothesized some opinions to ask the frontline soldiers to help me. pay attention to."
"So there is the manuscript you see, but there has been no progress on the vaccine recently, and I can't spare the time to sort it out."
After hearing this, Pei Zhuangzhou immediately asked, "What kind of signal is it?"
"...What kind of signal?" Dr. Zhou put out the cigarette handle. "I can't describe it, but the signal gave me a sharp and greedy feeling, so I don't think it is a signal that humans can send."
Li Gengrong sat aside and listened carefully, his eyes couldn't help but widen. According to Dr. Zhou, after they left the road, a zombie that could send out strange signals found the blood stains left by Li Gengrong?
Just because of a pool of blood caused a zombie wave?
Yu Lanzhi drank his blood and became more and more human-like, so do those zombies also hope to become "human" again?
"I got a message from my friend. He said that the zombie wave is composed of many sections, and each section has one or two sane zombies..." Pei Zhuangzhou was trying to describe what Yu Shulin sent him. The message was interrupted by Dr. Zhou.
"It's not rational," Dr. Zhou immediately revised his statement, "Those special zombies are different from Yulanzhi."
Pei Zhuangzhou and Li Gengrong looked at each other. They both saw shock in their eyes. It was incredible that Dr. Zhou knew more than they thought.
He always thought that Dr. Zhou was just focusing on vaccines, but he didn't expect that Dr. Zhou was also interested in studying other things...
"Special zombies like Yulanzhi mainly retain their humanity and personality, while most special zombies only show a certain amount of wisdom and memory, but have no humanity or personality."
"Zombies that retain their humanity and personality will also abide by some rules of human society, but special zombies that do not have these have completely turned into thinking monsters. The two of them are different."
"However... although I have never seen it and have no basis for it, I think it is possible for zombies like Yu Lanzhi to turn into thinking monsters."
Dr. Zhou frowned when he said this, "I have seen the physical examination data and experimental data of Yulanzhi before. The data trend at the beginning was obviously in the direction of monsters, but the data suddenly dropped one day and returned very steadily. It’s reached normal values.”
"There are also zombies like Yulanzhi in Base B. I looked through the information you brought back and found that there are four zombies like this in Base B. Among them, the experimental subject of the prototype vaccine is named Xingyu."
"The reason for choosing him is simple, because his humanity and personality are the most complete among the four zombies, so the experiments used on him were all done on other zombies before being used on him."
"Xin Yu's values also fluctuated up and down, barely maintaining a certain level. It was not until the prototype of the vaccine appeared that his values stabilized."
"But Yulanzhi lowered the value on its own without the prototype of the vaccine, and it was lower and more stable than Xin Yu's. This was a shock to them. They immediately thought that W Base secretly possessed the vaccine."
"Later, after many inquiries, they found that it didn't seem to be the case, so they focused on Yulanzhi. In addition, Xin Yu's escape caused a vacancy in the experimental subject. They were almost determined to win the experimental subject of Yulanzhi."
"After that it's just what you know."
Li Gengrong was stunned. It only took a few minutes for Dr. Zhou to put together the information that they had spent several months getting.
"...That's it." Pei Zhuangzhou touched his nose. He finally understood why everyone didn't like talking to smart people.
Dr. Zhou felt thirsty after talking so much. He picked up the tea at hand and took a sip, "Let's go back to the topic you just mentioned. The zombie wave is indeed divided into sectors. As long as you kill the special zombies in each sector one by one, the zombies can be dispersed. tide."
"So the core of the zombie wave is the zombies that send you signals?" Pei Zhuangzhou asked.
Dr. Zhou did not reply immediately after hearing this. He thought for a while and shook his head and said, "This is uncertain, and when we dispel the zombie wave, we don't need to completely dismantle every section, we just need to dismantle most of them."
"...That means there will still be a wave of zombies in the future?" Pei Zhuangzhou asked.
"Yes," Dr. Zhou said. "Unless every city is bombed and cleared, it will happen sooner or later."
