Lin Xiyue glanced at Su Li, was silent for a moment, and then said seriously, "The reason why most of the zombies that haven't eaten humans are female is, of course, because they can't snatch them away."

"After being transformed into zombies, male zombies are much stronger than female zombies in terms of strength, speed, stamina and explosive power."

"So when the number of zombies increases, the newly infected female zombies will not be able to eat because they cannot compete with other zombies."

"This situation will continue until they evolve from ordinary zombies to mutant zombies, and then things will improve."

"But because they have been starved of food, the Q virus in their bodies has weakened, causing congenital defects before they evolve. So even if they evolve into mutant zombies, they will still be weaker than other zombies."

Su Li said thoughtfully, "Is that so? It seems I was thinking in the wrong direction. I have been trying to think about this problem from a virology perspective, but I didn't expect the reason to be this."

"You study virology, so of course you would apply the problem to the field of virology. I also know the reason because I have relevant information in my inherited memory."

Lin Xiyue suddenly smiled bitterly and said to herself, "So, girls are actually quite miserable, right?"

"When they were human, they were materialistic, held hostage by their thoughts, and even lived their lives according to other people's definitions. Even if they were good enough, put in a lot of effort, and finally made some achievements, they would still be questioned as being dependent on their families or selling their bodies."

"A simple dirty rumor can easily ruin everything for a girl and trap her in a self-proving trap."

"But, everyone is only willing to believe what they want to believe. They don't mind putting all their malice and the darkest thoughts in their hearts on a girl they don't even know, and then watch her fall into the abyss with a smile."

"I think they would never imagine that being human was miserable. Even after becoming zombies, they would still be bullied and starve."

Su Li felt that Lin Xiyue was in a bad mood, so she quickly went up to her and hugged her tightly.

Lin Xiyue buried her head in Su Li's shoulder and continued to whisper, "Su Su, do you know?"

“Some people seem to live a glorious and brilliant life, but in fact, from the moment they are born, they are destined to be just a canary locked in a golden cage.”

"She can be an object of interest, a prop to show off, a pet to be cared for, or even an object of business marriage or a machine to bear children."

"But the only thing she cannot be is a person, let alone herself."

Su Li felt Lin Xiyue's slightly trembling body, and she hugged her tightly with great heartache, and gently stroked the back of her head with the palm of her hand.

Now she finally understood why Lin Xiyue, as the eldest daughter of the Lin family, did not live on Phoenix Island but lived in Muyunju.

To be honest, at first, Su Li was quite surprised to find that such a rich person actually lived in the same community as her.

Unexpectedly, there are other stories behind it.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all over, you still have me now."

"Beside me, you can be yourself without any worries. No one can force you to do something you don't like, and no one can bully you, including myself. Do you understand?"

Lin Xiyue nodded and said, "Susu, you know what? I really feel like I have used up all my luck in this life to meet you."

"If it weren't for you, I would still be a confused zombie now, or I might have been killed by other survivors or zombies long ago."

"Remember what you said in the car? We are the closest partners and lifelong friends. You are not allowed to regret it."

Su Li patted Lin Xiyue on the back and said softly, "Of course I remember!"

"Su Li and Lin Xiyue are the closest partners and lifelong friends. Come, let's make a pinky promise as proof."

After Su Li finished speaking, she let go of Lin Xiyue with both hands and extended a little finger to her.

Lin Xiyue burst into laughter and said, "Susu, you are so childish."

Although she said childish words, she immediately stretched out her little finger and hooked it tightly around Su Li's little finger.

"Sorry, I just lost control of my emotions."

Su Li stepped forward and took Lin Xiyue's arm, saying softly, "It's okay, Xiaoyue'er. With me, you can always show your truest side, understand?"

Lin Xiyue hummed and leaned her head on Su Li's shoulder.

"By the way, Susu, not all girls are weaker than boys. Some girls exercise regularly and have good physiques."

Lin Xiyue said dimly, "Yes, so they all ate human flesh, and then they could never regain consciousness."

Su Li paused when she heard this.

Well, she's being too picky again.

After a while, Su Li asked again, "I have another question. Why are almost all the female zombies I encountered young girls? It seems that there is not a single old one. Do you have this information in your inherited memory?"

Lin Xiyue asked back, "Susu, in all this time, do you think you have seen many elderly zombies?"

Su Li recalled it and shook her head, "It seems not much. No, it should be said that there is almost nothing."

Lin Xiyue explained, "That's right."

"Zombies are formed from dead people infected with the Q virus, so there are two conditions for their formation. One is that the person must be deeply infected with the Q virus, and the other is that he must be dead before he can become a zombie."

"A living person will not turn into a zombie directly. The Q virus will transform the host into a zombie only after killing the person."

"For young people, after they die, the Q virus will quickly sweep through their bodies, and then their bodies will quickly turn into zombies."

"And once the zombies that are eating this body sense that it has turned into a zombie, they will immediately treat it as one of their own kind and stop eating."

"But it's different for the elderly. Once the Q virus enters their bodies, it takes a long time for them to completely turn into zombies."

"This time is long enough for other zombies to completely eat them."

"Susu can also understand that this is a process for the Q virus to select a host."

"So it's not that there are no elderly zombies, but they will never appear in public places, only in closed rooms. For example, those elderly people who lock themselves in their homes after being bitten by zombies have a chance to complete their transformation into zombies instead of being completely eaten."

Hearing this, Su Li couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Is it... so cruel?"
