Apocalypse: I watch a survival game in a safe house

"It can withstand extreme cold and can even survive at -100 degrees Celsius. It can also invade the nerves of living things and control the body."

"but……"

Zhou Keer frowned slightly.

"It doesn't fit the modern biological definition of a virus. Its structure should be somewhere between a virus and a cell, more like a cell, yet it can invade the host's body to control and reproduce like a virus."

As a poor student who threw away all his knowledge after graduation, Zhang Yi was completely confused by what he heard.

"Ke'er, can you explain it in a simpler way?"

There are only a handful of people in this house who can understand what Zhou Keer said.

At least the three men were confused.

Zhou Keer smiled embarrassedly.

"After the apocalypse, biology was redefined by the effects of gamma rays. Let's just call it the zombie virus for now."

"In simple terms, it reflects the habits of some bacterial colonies or even social animals."

"When zombies are in a swarm, their actions become consistent, and they even display a certain level of intelligence."

"But the corpses studied in the laboratory have even shown a weakening of their reproductive instincts and a decrease in their stress response."

"So I suspect that the control of this virus may be similar to that of biological populations, where there is a viral mother that can somehow remotely control them."

Zhang Yi sat up straight on the sofa. "Remote control?"

Zhou Ke'er quickly waved her hand. "Of course, it's not a very long distance. For example, animals can communicate through scent. And this mutated virus must also have its own way of communicating."

Zhang Yi asked, "You mean, if we kill the mother zombie, all these infected zombies will die too?"

Zhou Keer shook her head.

"It's hard to say. At the very least, they wouldn't be like they are now, capable of large-scale operations and possessing a certain level of intelligence."

wisdom!

These two words rang out like thunder in Zhang Yi's mind!

His eyes lit up, and he finally discovered the reason for that sense of disobedience!

"I think I understand a little bit!"

He put his hands in his pockets and explained to everyone, "Have you noticed that the zombie attacks these past two days seem ferocious, but also seem to have a certain intelligence."

"But in reality, the zombie horde's fighting style is quite childish. They always choose to retreat after some of the zombies are dead."

"It feels like a two or three-year-old child slowly learning to speak, only able to speak one word at a time."

After Zhang Yi said this, everyone felt that it made a lot of sense.

The zombies still looked stupid, and even when attacked by flamethrowers, they would not choose to disperse and attack.

But he knew how to avoid Zhang Yi's dimensional door and chose to run away when he realized that the situation was not good.

There is wisdom, but not much, really.

"Wait a minute, Zhang Yi! I think I understand what you are talking about."

The person who spoke was Liang Yue.

She crossed her arms, her eyes filled with caution.

"You mean, our opponents might be zombies with intelligence."

"It could be that the human mutated after death, or the mutated virus took over the human body and became the mother."

"In short, it has only recently gained intelligence and is still learning the human way of fighting."

Zhang Yi thought that this speculation was very likely.

That fighting method doesn't seem like that of a human with normal IQ, but it's not completely brainless either.

"If this thing really exists, it should be an existence that can be called a corpse king."

"After all, we have confirmed two conditions for obtaining supernatural powers. One is being on the verge of death, and the other is being stimulated by external objects like the Ice Soul."

"Then, it's not impossible to gain superpowers after death."

Zhang Yi had a brief flashback in his mind, but he did not tell this secret to anyone.
