Chapter 1328: Who Asked About That!

Ling Mo had never seen such a simple and crude Laboratory before…

A row of operating tables, a large number of bottles and jars, and most importantly…

“What’s with this whole bunch of all kinds of zombies?!” Ling Mo pointed at the iron cages hanging on the wall.

“Locking zombies in these cages where they can’t even stretch their legs, suspended in mid-air-the purpose is obvious. This way, they can’t use their strength and can’t break free from the cage…” Xia Na explained.

“Who asked about that!”

“Xia Na’s right…” The squirrel remembered Ling Mo and his group very clearly. She nodded, and a strange, fanatical light flashed behind her glasses. “These zombies were all captured by our special operations team from various places in X City. Although we didn’t get every type, it’s close enough.”

She pointed at a zombie with deformed bones, shaped almost like a sphere: “This mutation zombie can shrink its body infinitely, fold at will, and has very strong mobility, able to adapt to all kinds of terrain. We caught it in a collapsed Underground Mall, so our initial judgment was that it mutated like this because of the terrain.”

“Isn’t that correct?” Xu Shuhan had already taken out her recorder and asked in confusion.

“Haha, it sounds right, of course, but we later made new discoveries. The Director said these are top secret, but you’re not suspicious people…” The squirrel led them further ahead.

Ling Mo followed behind, truly impressed by the squirrel at this moment… Someone in a biohazard suit, holding a recorder-how could that not look suspicious?! As expected, a bookworm’s way of thinking is always beyond normal comprehension…

“Look at that one.” The squirrel pointed to a zombie in the corner.

Ling Mo started off just casually looking… but soon, his pupils contracted, and a hint of shock appeared on his face.

“What the hell is that?!”

Inside the cage were several even smaller, more deformed sphere zombies!

Because they were all crowded together, at first glance Ling Mo thought they were one and the same…

Ling Mo’s first reaction was… could they have been born from the one just now? But with his sharp eyes, he quickly noticed that although these sphere zombies were very similar to the previous one, the differences were also quite clear. The previous one still retained a basic human shape, but these sphere zombies’ legs had degenerated much more.

“You noticed, right? We found these zombies in another place. When separated, their strength isn’t much. But usually, they act as a single unit.” The squirrel continued.

Ling Mo frowned as he watched. He suddenly asked, “You didn’t bring these zombies here just to observe their differences, did you? Your experiment is so important-what exactly is it?”

He thought that no matter how odd the squirrel’s thought process was, she would be vague at such a crucial point. Unexpectedly, she just smiled and said carelessly, “Actually, it’s nothing… Because strictly speaking, it’s not even our experiment. We really are just observing.”

The squirrel led them straight into another Laboratory. And here, there was only an ice coffin.

Inside lay an extremely perfect female zombie…

She was completely naked, her body proportioned and graceful, skin pale, covered all over with fine red blood vessels. Her eyes were closed, but still gave a sense of being stabbed by a wild beast’s gaze. Other than that, her limbs looked very weak, and there were no claws on her fingers… Yet even so, she still gave Ling Mo a very dangerous feeling. And for some reason, seeing her, Ling Mo felt a faint sense of familiarity.

That King level Zombie Chuchu seemed somewhat similar to her…

“She’s already dead,” Li Yalin suddenly said.

The squirrel nodded, “Yeah, she’s dead, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to keep her locked up.”

Ling Mo let out a long breath… Actually, from the first glance at this zombie, he already knew she was dead.

But that was exactly why it was so shocking… Dead as she was, she still radiated such a strong sense of danger…

“This zombie’s combat ability isn’t actually that strong,” the squirrel suddenly gave a completely different conclusion.

“But she’s truly another kind of Creature in every sense. You could think of her as the step where zombies, after evolving to this point, completely break away from humanity and become another species.” The squirrel said, “But this zombie died right after she was ‘born’. You should know, it’s very hard to get a complete zombie corpse, so we suspect there may be many cases like hers, but we’ve only discovered her.” 𝔯åŊОᛒÈS̈

“But… why did she die?” Black Silk asked.

As soon as it spoke, the squirrel realized there was actually a little girl inside, and immediately showed a trace of surprise. But she still went on to explain, “This is what we’re studying. We suspect there’s some kind of flaw in its evolution, which led to this situation. But going from nothing to something also means this flaw is constantly being perfected during evolution…”

“You want to find it before this flaw is perfected?” Ling Mo immediately understood what the squirrel meant.

But the squirrel was stunned for a moment, opening her mouth.

Although this expression flashed by in an instant, Ling Mo still caught it keenly.

He asked in some astonishment, “Do you have other ideas?”

The squirrel hesitated a bit and replied, “I only heard about it…”

“Someone is interested in the perfection of this Creature and wants to try raising one, right?” Xia Na hit the nail on the head.

The squirrel looked at her in surprise, then nodded.

But then she waved her hands vigorously and said, “But it’s not because of that…”

Ling Mo stared at the corpse for a while, then suddenly asked, “Do you have any Communicator here that’s not under surveillance?”

“Huh?”

After all, the squirrel was a squirrel. She quickly fiddled with a Communicator and handed it to Ling Mo.

After Ling Mo connected, he immediately called out a long-lost name, “Old Lan.”

“Who’s Old Lan? I’m Lan Lan!” A spoiled female voice came from the other end.

But before Ling Mo could say anything else, she suddenly screamed, “Eh, this voice… you’re Ling Mo?!”

“Congratulations, you got it right.”

A sharp intake of breath came from the other side, and just as Ling Mo had a bad feeling, Lan Lan started roaring, “You still remember to contact me!”

“Actually, I’m looking for your dad…”

“Do you know how bored I am!”

“How Members find entertainment doesn’t seem to be within my management scope. You can file a complaint with Zhang Yu…”

“You just dumped our poor father and daughter here and never cared!”

“Why do I feel like ‘mother and son’ fits the context better…”

“I’m so mad! You…”

“Enough!” Ling Mo suddenly shouted sternly, cutting her off. “It’s not like I abandoned you after taking advantage!”

“!!” Lan Lan didn’t say anything for a moment, who knows if she was coughing up blood.

Ling Mo continued, “I have serious business with your dad!”

There was silence for a while, then suddenly an overly excited male voice came through: “I’m researching the virus, and I just discovered a new devour sequence, hahaha… By the way, Ling Mo, what do you need? And why did my daughter run out blushing and call you a pervert…”

“Embarrassed anger, I guess? Anyway, here’s the situation…” Ling Mo quickly explained the perfect body Zombie matter.

After listening, Old Lan was silent for a long time. When he spoke again, his voice had become serious: “Ling Mo, have I ever reported to you that I think there’s a big problem with the evolution of these Zombies?”

“No,” Ling Mo replied with certainty.

“Oh, then I must have forgotten.” Old Lan continued, “But this is very important. Listen, I have a bold hypothesis… But to talk about this, we need to start with a fundamental question.”

“Why did Zombies appear? Is it a sudden leap in human evolution, or a leak of biological weapons? Or is the Earth itself treating us as a virus and trying to wipe us out? These ideas are all absurd in their own ways, but they’re probably the mainstream theories, right? Everyone has thought about the cause of this disaster from these angles, haven’t they? But there’s a big problem here: the mutation of plants and animals is obviously different from our situation, and there are even cases of partial mutation and partial non-mutation. And after a period of evolution, the virus produced by Zombies has exceeded human tolerance. What’s going on? Why did Zombie mutations go from uniformity at the start to endless variety later? But that’s not what I want to talk about… I just want to say, since all these theories have fatal flaws, why don’t we consider this from a completely new perspective.”

“What if we treat this disaster as an experiment? What kind of results would we get then?”

After Old Lan finished, he stopped talking for a while. Ling Mo, who had been distracted at first, was now shocked.

Indeed… If you look at it from this angle, things… seem to have a new explanation…

The squirrel standing nearby was also equally shocked. With the speakerphone on, she heard the conversation between Old Lan and Ling Mo clearly, and from her expression, it was obvious that this conversation had opened up a new line of thought for her as well…
