"What's adrenaline?"
"What does that stuff do?"
While comforting the child, Bear Dunce froze when he heard that and turned his head curiously. He had seen the priest's bloodletting ritual with his own eyes. To him, that behavior was downright bestial. Wasn't this treating people like pigs to be slaughtered!? Even pigs were electrocuted first!
"Adrenalineh."
Lin An hesitated for a moment before rapidly searching the relevant information in his memory fragments. As expected, he soon found it in the Second Will's memories.
"A mixture of adrenal hormones found only in children's blood. (54-06-8)"
"It is generally secreted only under intense fear."
"Many people believe this is the secret to immortality, but in fact it is completely meaningless. It can be synthesized artificially."
At this, Lin An slightly furrowed his brow.
Fear
In theory, this thing had been proposed before the apocalypse and was a form of conspiracy theory. However, after thinking of the Pyramid's structure, Lin An couldn't help connecting it to many things.
"It's not fake! It's real!"
Before Lin An could think further, Li Yao, who looked like a human stick, suddenly cut in:
"That Zombie wanted this! I saw it drink it with my own eyes! Think about it! Why did those Mutant Zombies advance? Didn't they all mutate only after eating large amounts of humans!?"
"But that isn't how eating people makes them stronger! It's this stuff!"
"That Zombie became smarter and smarter after eating this! Especially when it came to children!"
"The more people there are, the more collective fear spreads! To them, this stuff is a treasure!"
His gaze suddenly sharpened.
In an instant, with Super Thinking, Lin An realized what Li Yao was trying to express.
Children, intelligence, fear, blood, evolution!
That Doctor Zombie in the hospital!
Fragments flashed rapidly through Lin
