Chapter 911 Zombie Tide (8)
Fortunately, Bai Lu's community is only about three kilometers away from the rescue point of the department store, and it is a relatively good community, so this large SUV is large enough to drive to her community.
The house that Chen Xia and Tan Xin shared was in the underground city, but when Tan Xin was in the car, she mentioned that she wanted to go to the laboratory near the company.
This laboratory was rented by their company from outside, and the research direction is also in the fields of biological genetics and mutation.
Bai Lu held the drone tightly in both hands, but her eyes were always fixed outside the window. Perhaps because there were fewer people in the car, the atmosphere seemed particularly quiet and dull.
Chen Xia and Tan Xin both had something on their minds. On the one hand, they were worried about encountering another wave of zombies on the way to the laboratory. On the other hand, they were also afraid whether there were other mutated zombies in the laboratory.
"Is there any problem in the laboratory?" Gu Tongwan glanced at Tan Xin's tightly pursed lips, as if his changes were caused by the high-level evolved zombie in the previous corpse tide.
Tan Xin, who had been silent since getting in the car, now clenched the steering wheel and spoke, "The state of the evolved zombie in the previous zombie tide is very similar to a project studied by a laboratory in Country A, which is whether humans can retain part of their consciousness after mutation and whether they have the ability to communicate and even think."
Chen Xia's mind worked quickly and he immediately thought of the connection, and his face turned pale.
If the evolved zombies had the ability to think and had superpowers, and could even command other low-level zombies, if tens of thousands of zombies gathered together, it would be a doomsday catastrophe for humanity.
"You want to go to the laboratory this time. Does your company also have research in this area?" Gu Tongwan's question went straight to the point.
Tan Xin nodded. "This time, the company is conducting an experiment with a pharmaceutical company in another province. The purpose is to find out the difference between the superpowers of people with superpowers, ordinary people, and mutant beasts. During the research process, I compared the experimental data I brought with me when I escaped. I found that ordinary people who have mutated are more likely to convert the superpower energy implanted from the outside than those who have not mutated, and the converted energy will directly form a crystal nucleus."
Chen Xia was obviously hearing about this for the first time. In addition to shock and disbelief, he couldn't help but mutter, "No wonder there are crystal cores in zombies. The higher the level of the zombie, the purer the crystal cores in its body, and it is also easier to extract."
Bai Lu suddenly raised her head and asked, "If this is true, then will someone hunt zombies to snatch crystal cores? Also, zombies were humans before, so are there any conditions for them to become evolved zombies? The Self-Defense Force zombies we met before didn't seem to be evolved zombies, but a cleaning uncle we met outside the hotel turned out to be an evolved zombie. What is the connection between them?"
"I just want to confirm this possibility, so I plan to go to the laboratory. Maybe I can find the reason there. The experimental data we did before is still on the computer over there." A light flashed in Tan Xin's eyes, and his hands gripped the steering wheel more and more tightly.
"The entire base is experiencing a power outage now. The equipment in the laboratory should not be able to be started, right?" Bai Lu asked curiously.
"Don't worry, our laboratory has an independent backup power supply, so turning on the computer will not be a problem." Chen Xia said.
Because the laboratory was in another direction, Bai Lu wanted to know the specific truth, so she decided to follow them to the laboratory to find the answer.
