Evolution

Regarding Doctor Yang's conclusion.

Li Chen nodded in agreement.

Zombies are constantly evolving.

Yesterday they only infected primates, tomorrow they'll infect carnivores, and the day after?

Maybe one day even mosquitoes will turn into zombies.

While they might not be able to kill people, they could still infect humans.

Impossible to guard against!

Moreover, currently, animals like rats are omnivores and small in size.

They are highly likely to pose a huge threat to humans.

Therefore, a vaccine must be developed as soon as possible.

Not to make everyone immune, but at least to provide a way out after infection.

"How long will it take to develop a vaccine?" Li Chen asked directly.

"I'm not sure, maybe ten days, maybe a month, or even longer."

Doctor Yang answered very cautiously.

It was understandable.

Because not knowing enough about zombies was one aspect.

More importantly, there were too few people.

After all, the premise of developing a vaccine was finding antibodies.

However, in the vast sea of humanity, how difficult it was to find someone with antibodies!

Without finding antibodies, they could only test one thing after another.

The time cost was huge.

The consumption of resources was even harder to estimate.

For a moment.

Li Chen frowned.

"I will give orders for the Combat Team to cooperate with the research institute's work."

"At the same time, the research results on zombies will be published on the forum as a warning!"

Based on the speed of zombie evolution.

It was expected that soon, the slow-moving Tier 1 Zombies everywhere would undergo significant changes.

Li Chen was not a saint.

But having experienced the previous life, Li Chen knew that humanity was a community of shared destiny.

A Star-Level Shelter wouldn't have only a hundred thousand people.

Only by allowing more people to survive

can the Star-Level Shelter continuously replenish its personnel!

Doctor Yang nodded solemnly.

That day.

A post was quickly pinned to the top of the Star-Level Shelter's forum.

[Shock! Zombies Can Actually Evolve!]

Inside were Doctor Yang's research conclusions on zombies.

As well as several videos.

They were all battle situations where Xu Ruoxi and others encountered Tier 2 Zombies while performing collection missions.

And they were even processed with slow motion.

Making it convenient for people to clearly see the destructive power and speed of Tier 2 Zombies.

The Star-Level Shelter forum, because it had the survival guide,

and some new information about the Star-Level Shelter, etc.,

had almost become a base for survivors.

They felt uncomfortable if they didn't check it several times a day.

Even if there was no new information, seeing the residents of the Star-Level Shelter share their daily lives made them feel both pain and happiness.

Soon!

This post was viewed and followed by countless people.

"Holy crap, zombies can evolve? Is that true?"

"And they evolve so fast? I can't even beat the most common zombies outside, and now there's a stronger one, I'm really numb."

"Is the information from the Star-Level Shelter accurate, or is it a smoke bomb? I just don't believe it."

"Upstairs, if you don't believe it, go out and walk around more, don't hide at home typing on your keyboard! My home is near the factory area in the video, and I saw the people from the Star-Level Shelter fight the Tier 2 Zombie with my own eyes!"

"Do humans still have a future? Zombies are getting stronger and stronger..."

Below the post.

Countless comments were posted.

The survivors trembled, filled with despair for the future!

Originally, with the doomsday survival guide provided by the Star-Level Shelter,

they could barely survive.

The appearance of Tier 2 Zombies made them feel that the road ahead was completely dark.

"Don't panic yet, look at the other videos in the post. Besides the first one, where the Star-Level Shelter had difficulty coping, the other videos clearly show they found a way!"

"Right, humans are at the top of the food chain, how could we be easily defeated?"

Those with sharp eyes immediately started comforting the others.

But this optimistic idea was destined not to be agreed with.

Didn't they see the equipment and abilities of the warriors in the Star-Level Shelter?

Even they found the monsters difficult to deal with, so ordinary people would have no chance at all!

Meanwhile, shelters throughout Donghai City were also in an uproar because of this post.

"Is the news about the Star-Level Shelter true or false? If Tier 2 Zombies really appeared, our shelter's combat capability isn't enough to handle it."

"How about we ask Mr. Li? I just exchanged for a box of weapons last time. If the news is true, that box of weapons probably won't be enough."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's ask Mr. Li first, what if it's fake news?"

Many shelter leaders, holding onto a glimmer of hope, contacted Li Chen.

Rich people have one thing in common.

They are afraid of death!

They don't care about others; they only fear that they haven't had enough of their good lives.

So, deep down, they all hoped.

That the news on the forum this time was fake.

But after asking Li Chen, they were all disappointed.

The news was true!

So they immediately placed orders again on the spot, ordering quite a few weapons.

Suddenly, Li Chen's phone kept ringing.

He simply threw the responsibility of handling this to the management.

At the same time.

The West City Shelter also couldn't sit still.

Compared to other shelters, they lacked food even more, and their armed forces were almost non-existent.

Although they had a lot of strength, what good was that?

The West City Shelter was indeed initially formed by miners gathering together.

But later, order collapsed.

Many serious criminals escaped from prison.

They also joined the West City Shelter.

The characteristic of these people was that they loved ease and hated work.

They would rather force the elderly and children to fight zombies than hunt zombies themselves for energy cores.

That's why they were reduced to cannibalism.

The current person in charge of the West City Shelter is a man who committed a series of murders before the apocalypse.

He is known as Scarface.

"You all saw the news on the forum, right?"

"Zombies can actually evolve!"

Scarface said with a fierce expression, looking at the managers of the West City Shelter.

"Damn it, this damn apocalypse, damn it!"

"Speaking of which, what power is behind the Star-Level Shelter? At a time like this, they still have resources to do research?"

"I think what the Star-Level Shelter said is true. We need to think of a countermeasure now."

The managers were all from the same prison as Scarface.

Their faces were full of ferocity.

Scarface raised his hand and said slowly, "How many energy cores have we hunted so far?"

"The most urgent task is to stockpile food first, so that even if the zombies upgrade, we can hide."

Suddenly, the managers were like ducks whose necks had been squeezed.

It was completely silent!

One of them bravely said, "We have fifty energy cores left."

Bang—

Scarface slammed the table violently and glared angrily, "What?"

"What have you been doing? Didn't I tell that bunch of two-legged sheep to go out and hunt zombies? How come there are so few energy cores left?"

The man immediately said with a mournful face.

"But our shelter has no food. Energy cores have to be exchanged for weapons and also for food. The supply is simply insufficient!"
