Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 67 Mutant Awakening

Chen Meiku\'s face was already pale. Looking at the crowd shouting loudly, he suddenly burst into laughter.

His loud laughter was extremely strange, making one\'s hair stand on end.

Everyone gradually quieted down amidst his laughter. Everyone looked at him coldly, feeling that he should know that he was going to die, and he had fallen into the final state of madness before he died.

Suddenly, Chen Memory struggled to help Chen Sitian stand up from the ground and shouted to Qin An, "You can\'t kill us! We are the last hope of humanity!"

Everyone, including Qin An, laughed. Looks like this brat is really crazy. A person like him who has lost his humanity, actually says that he is the last hope of humanity!

Chen Memory pressed her hand on her severed arm, where blood was still flowing.

"My sister and I were bitten by zombies! But we didn\'t mutate! We must have T-virus antibodies!" He said with a trembling frown.

What! ?

The entire playground in Qin City fell into silence.

Actually, they did not believe what Chen Meiku had said, because no one had ever heard of such a thing.

Was he bitten by a zombie but not turned into a zombie?

This was simply impossible!

At this moment, a person was squeezed out of the crowd.

He was a bald monk in a monk\'s robe.

This monk was nearly two meters tall, and his skin was extremely dark and his body was extremely strong. Judging from his age, he was probably only around twenty-four to twenty-five years old.

There was a square cloth hanging on his chest with the word "three" written on it.

This was Qin City\'s mandatory requirement for third-class members. Every third-class member had to wear such a cloth on his chest in order to let everyone know his level, so as to better supervise and control his behavior.

After all, the so-called third-class members were those who could not be fully recognized and trusted by Qin Chao\'s insiders!

Qin An looked at the monk walking towards him and frowned slightly. He did not know what he was going to do.

The monk came to Qin An\'s side and bowed. Then, he said in a low voice, "Hello, leader. Little monk\'s name is Jin Gang! Let me help you deal with this fellow!"

Qin An looked at the crowd doubtfully, found Liu Ming\'s figure, and waved to him.

Liu Ming was in charge of examining the outsiders, so he should know something about the monk\'s background. Qin An wanted to know what made the monk appear here, and also said that he wanted to help him deal with Chen Memory and his siblings.

Liu Ming hurriedly ran over and said to Qin An, "This monk came with the team when you came back from Destiny City, but he is not from Destiny City. He has been in Jiulong Mountain before, because he is not sure what he did, and no one knows him, so we can only let him become a third-class member first, and then slowly understand him."

Qin An nodded and looked at the monk again. Then, he smiled and said, "Your name is Jin Gang? Do you know the siblings?"

Vajra shook his head and said,

"I don\'t know them, but I know what they are!

When I was in the north a few months ago, I killed two such people. They were bitten by zombies and didn\'t turn into zombies!

"However, although they didn\'t become zombies, they have already become more terrifying monsters than zombies. My father calls them TC virus carriers, or mutants!"

TC virus carrier? Mutants?

None of them had ever heard of such two nouns.

Chen Meiku and Chen Sitian obviously didn\'t know about their own physical condition. Hearing Vajra\'s words about them, they didn\'t react at all. The two of them supported each other and stood there.

Jin Gang did not look at them, but said to Qin An, "Mutants are not zombies, but they still like to eat human flesh under the influence of the TC virus!"

This type of person was extremely rare. Before they were infected by the T virus, their bodies indeed contained a virus similar to the T virus antibody. This virus was the C virus!

Virus C was not discovered before the end of the world. My father was its discoverer, and he named it.

Virus C does not participate in human metabolism and is not harmful to humans.

My dad\'s research suggests that the only harm of this unknown virus seems to be that it can cause abnormal C virus activity in humans as they sleep due to reduced metabolism and reduced oxygen intake.

Physiological phenomena after abnormal activity are chest tightness, dizziness and so on after waking up.

However, this physiological phenomenon will disappear in a short period of time after a person wakes up.

If a person with the C virus is infected with the T virus, the two viruses combine to form the TC virus.

The TC virus has an incalculable incubation period in humans, ranging from one month to several years.

Before the TC virus awakened from its incubation period, its carriers looked no different from ordinary humans. The only difference was that they were more dependent on meat, and of all the meat they liked most was living humans.

When the TC virus wakes up from its incubation period, its carrier becomes a mutant.

The common ground between mutants and zombies was that they were bloodthirsty and liked to eat human flesh.

As for why they prefer to eat human flesh, my dad\'s findings are that the TC virus is a derivative of the T virus and still has some of the attributes of the T virus.

T viruses were extremely active. One of their habits of abiotic intelligence was to combine more complex and outstanding biological forms to allow them to evolve. This habit was not a pouncing behavior with no purpose. It was just an innate instinct of T viruses, as if it was a conditioned reflex.

The so-called complex and outstanding biological forms referred to human cells! This was also the reason why zombies liked to eat living humans. Of course, if there were no living humans, they would also like human corpses.

TC viruses are not infectious; they have some of their own characteristics.

For example, promoting the vitality of human cells, can make human muscles become stronger, enhance human strength and motor function.

For example, it can eliminate some harmful viruses or harmful substances in the body, it may even be used to treat AIDS!

But none of this is the strongest part of the TC virus.

One of the most powerful features of the TC virus is that it divides and promotes division!

In other words, they themselves would constantly and infinitely split apart. When these countless T viruses enter human cells, they can promote the infinite proliferation and division of human cells.

Then they will enable the carrier to obtain a very powerful function, that is, self-repair and regeneration!

This regenerative behavior is controlled by the memory behavior of the brain.

For example, if you cut off the arm of a mutant, he will soon regrow an arm! Of course, this kind of regeneration was not endless, because regeneration also required energy consumption!

The reason why an arm is regenerated instead of other messy things is purely because the memory behavior of the brain directs the cells parasitized by the TC virus to mimic what the body looked like before it was damaged and repair the behavior of the human body.

To sum up, the mutant has the characteristics of having a body function that surpasses that of an ordinary person, as well as a powerful self-repair and regeneration ability!

If the mutant and the mutant stood very close together, they would be able to recognize each other. If they carried the same TC virus, they would not be able to sense the smell of the mutant\'s flesh. In other words, the mutants would not eat each other\'s flesh!

"The first way to kill them is to cut off their heads, make the TC virus parasitic human body become chaotic because of losing the central command center, and then burn it down!"

Qin An opened his mouth and stared blankly at Jin Gang for a long time before turning his gaze to the Chen siblings. He discovered that fresh meat had indeed grown out of their severed arms. However, this growth was very slow. If he didn\'t pay attention, he wouldn\'t be able to see it at all.

Jin Gang added, "The two of them have clearly just awakened from the incubation period of the TC virus. When I first saw them, I noticed their severed arms. They seemed to be slowly growing new flesh, so I decided that they should be carriers of the TC virus, and they are currently in the awakening period." Plus, they just said that they were infected by the T virus and didn\'t turn into zombies, I\'m even more convinced!

The leader just said that they had eaten human flesh! Those who abandoned their humanity would eventually become more terrifying than zombies, because they possessed human intelligence!

So, let me send them into the Elysium! Let them out of their confusion, this is also the task my father gave me before he died! Kill all mutants who have eaten human flesh! "

Qin An looked at the bald monk who was staring at him and couldn\'t help but feel curious in his heart. He asked, "Who are you? Why do you know so much?"

Jin Gang laughed and said,

"I know so much because of my father.

He was a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, specializing in virus research!

He also participated in the research and development of the T virus vaccine after the outbreak of the T virus. However, he failed later. I know that he told me so much. His name is Jin Sanbao!

And I, Jin Gang, am from the north! And a mutant carrying the TC virus! "

Hearing this, Qin An was so scared that he couldn\'t help but take a step back!

In other words, he wasn\'t frightened. He was just too shocked and his footsteps were unstable before he retreated.

Jin Gang hurriedly added, "Don\'t worry, leader!" I am different from them. Although I feel very greedy when I see people walking past me and smelling the fragrance of their meat! But I\'ve always controlled myself well! I can\'t eat human flesh! Adepts can eat normal food like humans to obtain the necessary nutrition! Human flesh was like a delicious cake in the eyes of an Adept, but after eating it, it would turn into drugs! Therefore, as long as the Adept controlled himself and didn\'t eat the first bite of the cake, he would never understand what it was like to take drugs! Not only will I not eat humans, I will also kill mutants who eat humans! This is my father\'s last wish! "

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Chen Meiku and Chen Sitian.

Hearing what Vajra said, the two of them were similarly shocked.

However, they also discovered that their severed arms were constantly growing new flesh, and the growth rate was actually getting faster and faster!

Everyone\'s gaze, including Qin An\'s, also shifted from Jin Gang to Chen Mingku and Chen Sitian.

Everyone had forgotten what they were going to do. They just watched this scene in front of them as if it was a sci-fi movie.

The arms of those two people were constantly growing!

Flesh, bones, tendons, skin!

Ten minutes later, they had actually reborn their arms!

Jin Gang smiled and said, "The two mutants are awakened at the same time! Haha! You guys wait to die!"
