doomsday seclusion

"01 wants to be a person, and also wants to live for you, so it resonates with your name." I rubbed my aching shoulders, I really don't know where he got so much strength. It sounds so harmless.

"so what?"

"Your memory curled up in his heart continues to affect him, but he is willing to do so. I warned him that if he continues like this, he may have schizophrenia, but he would rather be one with you. If it were you, you could do this to the extent?"

"..."

"It is true that 01 is an outsider to you, an artificial intelligence that robs your body, but have you ever thought that it is not out of his will, but because of Lin Qinghe's greed for life and fear of death. You are all affected A victim manipulated by others, at least you know how to be angry, but 01 doesn't even know what anger is. His desire for the world is extremely low, he just wants a name, a "subtitle" in your name, for you , it’s just a matter of one sentence.”

He remained silent, but his emotions were no longer like raging waves.

Seeing this, I automatically regarded it as the default, and then said: "You and him are like light and shadow. I think he can answer your questions for you. Although I rescued Mu from the research institute, after all, he is just a Passers-by, don’t know much, if you have any questions, you might as well ask him yourself.”

"How to ask?" He finally opened his mouth.

"Written talk." I grabbed a notebook and handed it to him.

***

The Hummer galloped on the road, raising a cloud of smoke and dust.

Holding the steering wheel and looking ahead, I explained to Zhuo the changes in the world.

Perhaps because he had seen zombies in the library, his ability to accept was extremely strong, and it only took 10 minutes from the end of the explanation to complete acceptance.

Of course, I also informed him of the fact that he has become a supernatural being.

Knowing that he had obtained the power of thought, he seemed very interested. With a thought, the stones on the roadside floated up, and instantly penetrated the brain of a zombie like a bullet.

The zombie who was fatally attacked fell down with a "touch!", and his body twitched uncontrollably. With his jaw raised, a crystal nucleus broke through his brain and fell into his hand along a beautiful parabola.

He absorbed it on the spot without blinking, and the remaining residue turned into powder, falling on the road little by little.

All in one go.

"Good." He said with satisfaction.

As if addicted to playing, he kept killing zombies, taking out crystal nuclei, and absorbing them all. He repeated this several times, and his mastery of abilities became more and more proficient. Later, he almost thought of it, and a series of actions for five seconds can be completed within.

I looked at it calmly on the surface, but I was a little envious in my heart, but this feeling soon calmed down.

Although mind power is the most powerful ability I have seen so far, it can be used to attack, defend and assist, but it is still not as good as the exchange ability.No matter how strong a person is, he can't be short of food and drink. Without the ability to exchange food, food is enough to make people worry.

Thought power may be a good helper for killing zombies, but it does not have the ability to produce food. There will always be an end to one day just by constantly searching in the city. In the end, you will eventually succumb to the environment and walk into the safe bases. .

In this way, "exchange" is the most convenient. Auxiliary abilities may be more disadvantageous in battle, but the benefits in life are incomparable. It is better to ask for a life than to ask for others. Thinking about it this way, my state of mind Then he calmed down and Zhuo's ability to kill zombies continued. After "playing" a few times like this, the novelty gradually faded. It seemed that zombies were everywhere and crystal nuclei were within easy reach. He was not in a hurry to hunt and kill at this time, so he temporarily moved away. Focus, focus on your notebook.

After hesitating for a moment, he began to write.

Seeing that he finally wanted to communicate seriously with Mu, I didn't bother him and just drove the car wholeheartedly.

Just driving and driving, I was a little absent-minded.

Looking around, there are occasional zombies gnawing on their companions by the roadside. As soon as the brain nucleus is exposed, they are immediately scrambled by other zombies.

Generally speaking, zombies love living flesh and blood. Humans, mice, cats and dogs can almost be regarded as their "staple food". hardly devour each other.

Research believes that this is related to the crystal nucleus in the zombie's brain, which will create a special aura that can effectively suppress the zombie's appetite for each other, just like a hungry person looking at a piece of stinky carrion It can be imported, but it is not a last resort, but I don't want to try it lightly.

Therefore, when zombies start to attack their companions, it means that they are extremely hungry. In order to survive, their appetite greatly overwhelms their physical repulsion, and they have nothing else but the idea of ​​filling their stomachs.

And this is also the evolutionary path of zombies. While devouring flesh and blood, they also devour the crystal nucleus of their companions, so as to increase their own strength, from zero to one, and from one to two, gradually becoming stronger, and gradually giving birth to zombies. new awareness.

It's like raising Gu.

Fortunately, the behavior of devouring is an extreme behavior that can only be produced under extreme hunger. Therefore, without the intervention of external forces, the evolution speed of zombies is actually not fast.

It's just that humans have accelerated the process.

In order to survive daily and maintain the operation of the safe base, supernatural beings and ordinary humans must risk their lives into the city to collect supplies. Usually, as long as they are brave and careful, most of them can return safely, but it is also possible to lose their lives when they are unlucky.If the person who died was an ordinary person, at most it would be a good meal for the zombie, but if it was a person with supernatural powers, their crystal nucleus became a shortcut for the zombie to upgrade.

The research institute where I was imprisoned in my previous life conducted an experiment. If a zombie needs a hundred crystal nuclei to upgrade, then a supernatural person only needs ten crystal nuclei.

Perhaps this is because the supernatural person's crystal nucleus is a "finished product" that has passed the mutation test. It has energy ten times greater than that of zombies, so it is also ten times more attractive to zombies—of course, this is the case when the brain nucleus is exposed Down.

In general, when the supernatural beings stand next to ordinary people, the zombies can't make a smart distinction. This is largely limited by their visual degradation, which greatly reduces the supernatural beings' sense of crisis.

You must know that due to their powerful abilities, supernatural beings are usually the main attackers in the team, and they have a lot more chances to face zombies than ordinary people. It is necessary to retreat to the rear as a support, which is putting the cart before the horse in terms of attack.

In addition, due to the instinctive pursuit of zombies for crystal nuclei, the more supernatural beings in the team, the more zombies will be attracted, and the more likely to trigger a wave of zombies. There will be many supernatural beings idle in the base.

Of course, this is just a preset influence. Fortunately, this is not the case in reality, but what really causes the rapid evolution of zombies is not the crystal nucleus of the supernatural beings, but the massacre of zombies by humans.
