In the end of the world, I want to be the queen of zombies

Compared to the undercurrents in the human survivor base, the atmosphere in Phoenix is ​​much better.

After draining the turbid water from the well three times and washing the well walls with water several times, the water in the well finally became clear.

The water pump first draws water from the well into the water tower, and then the water tower transports the water to the villa area.

The water pipes and electrical wires connecting various places were all buried in the designated pipeline locations under Lin Xiyue's command, and many interfaces that might be used in the future were also reserved.

Before the sun sets, all the scheduled work is basically completed.

But the girls were all very tired and sat dejectedly in the living room, waiting for dinner.

Su Li sat on the sofa and waved to Li Mianmian.

"Mianmian, are you avoiding me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mianmian immediately lowered her head and pretended that she heard nothing.

Su Li said with some amusement, "Okay, I know you can hear me, come here quickly."

Li Mianmian secretly glanced at Su Li, then walked up to her obediently, with embarrassment that could not be concealed on her face?

Su Li pulled Li Mianmian to sit next to her, took out a first-level crystal core that she had collected yesterday from the space, pinched her mouth open and stuffed it in.

Li Mianmian was a little overwhelmed by Su Li's somewhat intimate actions, and just looked up at her blankly.

The crystal core entered her mouth so quickly that it completely melted before she could even taste it.

She didn't even know what Su Li was feeding her.

Su Li pinched Li Mianmian's cheek and said teasingly, "Why, are you shy now? Yesterday you wanted to stick to me."

"After you regain your memory, will you no longer recognize me as your mama?"

Su Li did not say the last two words out loud, but just opened her mouth and lip-synced them.

But Li Mianmian could tell at a glance what the two words Su Li didn't say were.

"Woo..."

Li Mianmian was so embarrassed that she grabbed Su Li's arm, buried her face in her shoulder, and made a sound of grievance.

"Alright, alright, don't feel wronged. What I just fed you was a supernatural crystal core."

Su Li rubbed Li Mianmian's head out of habit, smiled and said.

"If everything goes well, once you absorb this crystal core, you will evolve into a mutant zombie, and then you will be able to speak."

In fact, Su Li was going to give this supernatural crystal core to Li Mianmian last night, but she had too many things to do and forgot about it.

"Roar!"

Li Mianmian let out a low roar of excitement and hugged Su Li.

Su Li patted the back of Li Mianmian's hand and said softly, "Alright, let go quickly and get ready for dinner."

After dinner, Su Li did not go back to her room to sleep, but went straight back to the laboratory that she had just set up.

It has been the 15th day since the virus outbreak. According to her estimation, there should be countless ordinary zombies in the urban area of ​​City C, and they are evolving into mutated zombies.

This is also the reason why she was so anxious to restore power supply to the lift bridge.

She must create a safe environment for Phoenix Island before that day comes.

If she were alone, she could survive easily.

But she is not, she also has Lin Lu and the others, so she has to think more.

After restoring the water and electricity supply on the island, the basic survival problem was solved. Even if she was gone one day, Lin Lu and others on the island could still continue to survive through self-sufficiency.

Without any worries, she can now finally focus on solving the problem that has been bothering her for a long time.

In order to verify her guess, Su Li prepared a lot of blood samples.

Among them were samples of zombies that could not awaken their consciousness, as well as samples of Lin Xiyue and Li Mianmian, as well as her own samples and the red blood beads she had created before.

In addition, she also asked Lin Lu, Gu Wanjia and others to draw a tube of blood from them for backup.

After a night of experiments and analysis, Su Li finally came to a conclusion.

Her blood can indeed awaken the zombie's human consciousness, but the prerequisite is that this zombie must not have eaten humans.

Once a zombie has eaten a human, the virus in its body will mutate and it will never be able to restore human consciousness.

To put it simply, there is some unknown component in Su Li's blood.

When this ingredient is combined with the Q virus, it will cause the Q virus to mutate, thereby activating the dormant nervous system in the host's brain and achieving the effect of restoring consciousness and memory.

While restoring memories, this mutated Q virus will also read the genetic genes in the human body and restore the host's appearance to its original state. The only thing that cannot be restored is the color of the pupils.

As for the hair color, it is not determined by the mutated Q virus.

What really determines the color of hair is the attribute of supernatural power.

After eating humans, the Q virus in the zombies will mutate in another direction. This mutated Q virus will completely erase the host's original consciousness and memory, leaving only the ability to think instinctively.

The difference between the two is that the former is like recovering data with one click, while the latter is formatting and clearing the disk.

Needless to say, zombies that retain human consciousness are basically no different from humans. Even subconsciously, they still think of themselves as humans or have a friendly attitude towards humans.

Those zombies whose consciousness and memories have been cleared will have the same powerful learning ability as humans, and the higher the level, the smarter they are.

But they no longer consider themselves human.

In their eyes, humans are just food.

They view humans much as humans view other poultry.

In addition, Su Li also discovered that the humans infected by her would retain all their consciousness and memories after becoming zombies.

But this won’t happen to people infected by Lin Xiyue and Li Mianmian. They will just become ordinary zombies.

This is because the Q virus in Su Li's body is a mutated virus, while the Q virus in Lin Xiyue and Li Mianmian's bodies is the original Q virus that has been modified by the mutated Q virus.

There is an essential difference between the two.

Obviously, the Q virus does not accept infinite nesting dolls.

Su Li’s current idea is to let the zombies that have never eaten humans awaken their consciousness and become her companions.

As for those zombies that have eaten humans, they are beyond saving, so they can be killed simply and efficiently to take their crystal cores.

The biggest problem facing Su Li now is how to quickly and effectively distinguish which zombies have eaten humans and which zombies have not.

She can't just feed blood to every zombie she encounters, right?

The number of zombies in the urban area of ​​City C alone has exceeded 1000 million. How long will it take her to feed them all?
