"Awakening? You envy our abilities?" Liu Shilin laughed.
"Of course! Who wouldn't want to become Superpower Person? Is it true that you can awaken your powers just by eating the crystal core inside a zombie's brain?" Bai Huiyi excitedly.
"What do you think?" Liu Shilin countered.
"If you ask that, then it definitely won't work?"
"Don't ask too many questions about this. Becoming Awakened isn't difficult, and it's not a big secret. It'll probably be made public in another year or two."
Liu Shilin observed Bai Huiyi while smiling.
After all, Liu Shilin's soul is that of an old monster who has lived for over a thousand years. Perhaps his talent is not as good as Li Wuque's, and his cheat-like abilities are not as good as Ling Yi's.
However, when it comes to the ability to read between the lines, it's absolutely comparable to a superpower.
Old but shrewd, old but cunning, old but a treasure!
"Huh? Another year or two?"
"Do your best, if you do well..."
The rest is left unsaid; this is called leaving room for the other person to fill in the blanks.
Bai Huiyi swallowed hard. This pie, tsk tsk, he didn't know if it was cooked through, but whether it was or not, he had to treat it as if it were.
Liu Shilin then said to Liu Wufeng, "Brother, send your Houzi outside to catch a couple of live zombies."
"Alright, brother!" Liu Wufeng replied, and with a wave of his hand, he Summon his natal Soul Beast, the skinny Houzi.
With a thought, the Houzi transformed into a phantom and vanished.
A moment later, a foul gust of wind blew by, and the vanished Houzi reappeared.
"Bang! Bang!"
The Houzi threw two zombies onto the living room floor.
"Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo!"
"That's disgusting!" Liu Shilin pinched his nose in disgust.
Ugly and smelly, it has completely lost any connection to humanity except for maintaining its human form.
As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and a Fruit Knife appeared in his palm.
This is what he found in the kitchen earlier.
He plunged a knife into the head of a zombie, and the zombie immediately went still.
As for the other zombie, Liu Shilin thought for a moment and then kicked and crushed its limbs.
"The rest is up to us to wait until midnight to see how those two zombies respawn."
"I really don't know what these two went through to end up like this monster," Liu Wufeng frowned.
"Hmph, there are too many 'Old Liu' in this world. Some mad scientist must have developed some kind of virus. Isn't that how Resident Evil always goes?" Bai Huiyi.
"Humanity has always been on a path of self-destruction. Even without the zombie virus, who knows, one day they might develop a black hole or some superweapon, and just like that, Blue Star would be gone!"
Liu Shilin and his two companions had no idea what a black hole was, since they were following a fantasy divination method and had no concept of it.
But they understand the concept of superweapons.
"You mean to say that this Zombie Crisis was caused by certain individuals?" Li Wuque asked.
"That's 100%!"
He paused, then added, "Moreover, it's most likely either that garbage country of Amalican, or that scumbag Zhanpuneisi. They have over 320 biological laboratories all over the world."
"Three hundred and twenty labs, if just one or two Madman emerge from any of them, Zombie Crisis would be inevitable."
"I just don't understand why the zombies are respawning!"
Li Wuque asked, "What do you think the reason might be?"
"I don't know. When the internet was still working, some people did some analysis, but it was all just guesswork."
"Even if it's just a guess, it's better than knowing nothing at all. Tell me," Liu Shilin said.
"To summarize, there are several possibilities. One is that our spacetime is currently trapped in a time loop."
"Time loop?"
"Yes, that's because we've been living on the same day all along, which is why the zombies that died yesterday are reappearing today."
"However, this explanation doesn't seem very plausible. If it really is a time loop, then why only zombies? Logically speaking, we surviving humans should also be affected by the time loop!"
"The second theory is that these zombies possess the ability to Revive, meaning they can Resurrection after dying."
"However, that's unreliable either. When zombies spawn, it's not just the zombies themselves that spawn, but also their clothes and stats."
"Then tell me the most reliable one!" Liu Shilin rolled her eyes. If none of them are reliable, why even mention him?
"But there's no such thing as the most reliable; there's always something more outrageous!" Bai Huiyi shrugged.
"When in doubt, Quantum mechanics comes to mind. Someone once dissected a zombie and discovered that although the zombie's genetic structure had changed, no trace of the virus was found in its body."
"Someone proposed a hypothesis: this virus isn't a virus in the traditional sense, but Quantum virus. Tell me, isn't that ridiculous?!"
"There's no smoke without fire. Since someone has made this judgment, there must be some basis for it," Li Wuque said.
"Hehe, that's true. Before the Zombie Crisis broke out, a quantum experiment called Quantum detection was conducted in a Quantum laboratory in the ruins of Amalican."
"We don't know what it is, but it made a lot of noise and sounded pretty impressive."
"It was a collaborative effort by scientists from over thirty countries, including Amalican, Zhanpuneisi, German, Yinggelande, and Folanchi."
"Back then, scientists from our Ancient Country even issued a warning, saying that dimensional detection was very dangerous and could potentially cause irreversible Quantum phenomena, though we don't know the specifics."
"However, nothing happened after that, and then the Zombie Crisis broke out."
Li Wuque and the other two exchanged glances.
They certainly didn't understand Quantum or anything like that, but they still wanted to investigate it.
After all, there are Launcher missions running, whether it's investigating the truth behind the Zombie Crisis or eliminating zombies and saving humanity in this world.
Everyone needs to make this trip.
"How do I get to the laboratory in that abandoned city?" Liu Shilin asked.
"I can't go!" Bai Huiyi replied after a moment's hesitation.
He paused, then explained, "There are zombies everywhere now, how can we get there? The airport is ruined, we can't fly there at all."
"Is it far?" Liu Wufeng asked.
"Of course it's far, it's across an ocean!"
Liu Shilin thought for a moment and said, "Let's put that aside for now and first study how to completely eliminate the zombies."
Bai Huiyi glanced at the watch on his wrist; it was a mechanical watch, and he wondered where the kid had gotten it from.
"It'll be midnight in two hours. I'm going to take a shower and then cook some noodles. Do you guys want some?"
Meanwhile, in Baihai City, Ling Yi and Shen Hongming were also having a meal.
I ate instant noodles again, but this time I added a few more sausages.
Shen Hongming ate with a blissful expression.
Ling Yi finished the last bite of his instant noodles and walked to the bathroom door.
Although Shen Hongming's small standard room was not large, it still had a private bathroom and toilet.
The bathroom is surrounded by semi-transparent glass walls.
Inside the bathroom were four zombies.
These four zombies are now crippled; some are missing limbs, and others are covered in wounds.
These four zombies were originally intact; Ling Yi deliberately crippled them to varying degrees.
Clearly, Ling Yi was also conducting refresh tests.
"Will this work?" Shen Hongming had already changed into clean clothes.
My face is clean now.
The clothes were Manifestation by Ling Yi through his Origin Points and given to her.
Before changing her into new clothes, Ling Yi used Cleaning Art on her, a very practical little life skill.
Having witnessed Ling Yi's mystery and power, Shen Hongming and Bai Huiyi now share the same thought: to curry favor with him.
She didn't aspire to become stronger; she was content as long as she could eat by following Ling Yi.
She never wanted to experience that near-starvation feeling again.
"Whether it works or not, we'll know after midnight." Ling Yi was also completely baffled about the fact that zombies in this world would spawn.
"What we need to test now is the zombie spawning rules."
"Only by understanding the refresh rules can we find a way to completely eliminate zombies."
How the zombies appeared, and why they appeared, are not important for now. What's important is to eliminate the zombies and save the world.
"You're really amazing!" Shen Hongming exclaimed.
"If you truly find a way to completely eradicate zombies, then you will be the Savior of this world!"
Ling Yi shook his head and didn't say anything more.
I opened the Chat Channel and took a look.
Because new transmigrators from other worlds were added, Ling Yi created another Myriad Worlds Chat Channel.
From now on, travelers from different worlds will be able to communicate with each other through this Chat Channel.
Different worlds have different symbols.
For example, a transmigrator from the Soul Beast World will have an additional "( Soul Beast Realm )" mark before their name.
Ling Yi saw many familiar names among them.
{ Li Liansheng from the Myriad Worlds ( Soul Beast Realm ): What's going on with these points? Why did my points drop by 80% after going back once?}
{ --Gao Lai: Yeah, I earned almost 100,000 points this afternoon, but after going back, I only had 20,000 points left.}
{ --Gao Fu: It must be the cost of traveling through worlds, right?}
{--Guo Hongwen: That's not the case. I've gone back and forth several times, but I haven't lost points repeatedly. However, I used the points to exchange for a third chance to awaken my natal Soul Beast, and it was successful!}
{--Li Ping'er: Master Guo is indeed exceptionally capable. A single awakening opportunity for a natal Soul Beast requires 200,000 points, which I can't afford right now!}
{--Li Liansheng: Doesn't that mean Master Guo has already racked up a million points? Amazing!}
{--Liu San: Shilin, Wufeng, Ling Yi, are you there? Where are you now? Are you safe? Answer me!}
{ --Liu Shilin: Father, we're in a place called Dafeng City now. It's safe, don't worry. Wufeng, Wuque, and I are together.}
{ --Liu San: That's good. I don't even know where I am right now; I'm surrounded by text I can't understand.}
{ --Zhao Zhijing: In the System Shop, there is a Compendium of Myriad Worlds Languages. It costs 100,000 points. If you buy one, you will be able to understand the languages and scripts of this world.}
{--Zhao Zhijing: However, you need to leave this world to make the purchase; the Points Store cannot be accessed in this world.}
{--Liu San: Thank you for the reminder, Principal!}
{ --Gao Yunhu: Zhao Old Ghost, you're still alive? Where are you? Let's fight!}
{ --Zhao Zhijing: Laozi tall idiot, I don't have Kung Fu Hustle. I'd rather spend that time grinding for more points, otherwise, watch out, next time we meet, Laozi 'll beat you to a pulp.}
Gao Yunhu: Zhao Old Ghost, I'm in a place called South Chuan City. Come over here, let's fight!
Ling Yi remarked with a sigh, "These people seem to adapt very quickly."
However, the World Consciousness of the Soul Beast World was too ruthless, directly taking away 80% of the points of these transmigrators.
And this is on the basis that Ling Yi had already taken advantage of him once.
Fortunately, it's easy to rack up points in this world.
