Chapter 1356: A Comprehensive Upgrade of the Virus

Time gradually passed into the afternoon, and several survivors kept pointing their guns cautiously towards the outside. However, the zombies never appeared...

But at this moment, on a section of the protective wall, a survivor in charge of vigilance suddenly put down the binoculars in his hand.

To be precise, it fell down...

He stared blankly at the end of the street, and this abnormal reaction aroused the doubts of his companion, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Then, the companion turned his gaze to the telescope at his feet. But before he picked up the telescope, he realized that this thing is no longer needed...

What the guard saw had already appeared within his naked eyes.

The red air spreading like poisonous gas, and a large number of monsters shrouded in it...

Some of them are flying in the sky, while others are climbing on tall buildings...

"What is this?" He stood up and murmured.

And the security officer finally uttered a mournful cry, "Enemy attack!!!!"

Ling Mo and the others finally knew what they were waiting for.

Not the Canterlot zombies, not the Spider Queen, but a brand new...infection.

Before those monsters arrived, the red air had already swept over Miracle Base.

"Ah ()!" A survivor just inhaled a little, then suddenly screamed, threw away the gun in his hand and fell to the ground in convulsions.

But no one cared about him... because people around him also had the same symptoms.

"Quick, cover your mouth and nose!" Lucy yelled.

Su Qianrou's face was pale, "It's useless, the gas will get in through the pores."

She pointed to a psychic on the wall. The man had already covered his mouth and nose. But it still fell down the moment it touched the red air.

"Gah!"

A zombie hovering in the sky suddenly screamed. Then he swooped down on a survivor on the wall.

"puff!"

A blood hole appeared silently on its forehead,

Then fell down.

"The first area has lost contact..."

"The third area lost contact..."

"There is no news from the fifth area..."

Ling Mo turned his head, looked at everyone and made a decision, "Let's retreat back into the building."

And at this moment, a burst of fierce fighting sounds suddenly came from behind these monsters.

Ling Mo looked back, and suddenly saw countless extremely fast tentacles in the distance.

The mutated zombies rushed out of their hiding place one after another, throwing those monsters to the ground like the strongest hunters.

Blood immediately splattered everywhere, and the monsters turned their attention from the Miracle Base to the mutated zombies.

"Are they helping us?" Xu Shuhan asked in amazement.

Shana stared in that direction with complicated eyes, shook her head and said, "No. They are hunting."

"Use this opportunity to retreat, hurry up!" Ling Mo suddenly came back to his senses and shouted.

The survivors who fell into panic and confusion suddenly woke up and took action one after another.

The protective wall of the Miracle Base has fallen...

A few minutes later, Ling Mo and the others retreated into the laboratory building.

"The command building is also full of people, but most of them have symptoms of infection."

"The No. 1 dormitory building is also."

"So is the warehouse!"

The report was continuously passed on to Su Qianrou through the communicator, and then she passed it on to Ling Mo verbatim.

But what she didn't understand was that although the situation had changed significantly, Ling Mo seemed to be only surprised. Not desperate.

"Ling Mo, this may really be the last of mankind. Do you remember when the virus infection first appeared? At that time, there were billions of human beings. There were tens of millions of people in the city. But the last living person beside me, There are only a thousand people." Su Qianrou said in a low voice, she also remained calm, but it wasn't because she wasn't desperate...

In fact, when she saw the red air, she was already desperate, but she was still living by inertia.

After struggling on the line of life and death for several days and nights, compared with the ordinary people back then, I will always learn something.

"How about those infected people?" Ling Mo asked.

When the red air appeared, he was also taken aback for a moment, but then he figured out a lot of things.

Why did the actions of the zombies in the central city change, and what is Lao Zheng's irresistible "enemy".

In fact, the answer is very simple, virus upgrades.

The virus is always upgrading, but it was in the bodies of the zombies before, but when this upgrading method cannot meet the needs of the virus itself, it will return to the original upgrading method through the air and break out in an all-round way. This point is easier to understand when Ling Mo feels it through the female zombies.

And the zombies in the central city acted as a medium point for the virus to break out again.

If he hadn't manipulated Bai to disrupt the "plan" of the virus, then there would be no buffer period now.

The virus will spread to the entire city in an instant like a nuclear bomb explosion, and all humans and zombies will be infected.

However, since it is an infection, it does not necessarily mean death.

Most importantly, Ling Mo had already experienced the feeling of being re-infected through Bai.

But the real key point is that Lao Zheng is a variable, why?

Ye Lian just said suddenly in his consciousness, "You are between zombies and humans."

He is an anomaly after the last virus outbreak...

So it's not the zombies in Canterlot that want to get rid of him, but the virus that wants to get rid of him. When the virus wanted to perform a comprehensive upgrade, it sensed him, a strange creature that existed in the "body". It's like feeling physically sick.

But the virus does not have the ability to think, and its intentions can only be realized through the carrier. But the carrier it chose couldn't carry out its ideas well, which was why only Lao Zheng and the others were sent to deal with Ling Mo.

Of course, the last point was just Ling Mo's guess, because judging from what the spider queen did, the zombies were not completely defenseless before the virus. And zombies also have a rebellious mentality.

To a certain extent, the human survivors at this time are actually standing on the same front as zombies like the Spider Queen.

"Infected people?" Su Qianrou was taken aback when she heard Ling Mo's question, but she still answered responsibly, "Many of them are struggling desperately."

"Then did they have confusion in their thinking? Or, loss of thinking ability?" Ling Mo asked again.

Lin Luanqiu stood up and shook his head, "No, I have already asked them some questions. Although they have obvious violent tendencies, they are very sober and know how to restrain themselves."

Hearing this, Su Qianrou's expression suddenly changed slightly, and her eyes regained some light, "Ling Mo, you are..."

"The virus in the human body is upgraded." Lucy answered for Ling Mo.

Ling Mo nodded, "That's right, upgrading is not the same as mutating from a human into a zombie, because the human body already has viruses."

Lucy nodded in agreement, and said, "To use an inappropriate analogy, the virus in zombies is type A, so the virus in humans is type B. Ling Mo's is not wrong."

"Well, infection is to upgrade the type a virus in the zombie body to a+1, or even +2, and humans are also upgraded from b to b+1, b+2. That is, there may be some changes, But it's different from when I was infected and became a zombie." Ling Mo said.

After he finished speaking, Su Qianrou immediately walked back and forth holding her hand, saying incessantly, "So it's like this... So it's like this... Then as long as they can survive this period of time, human beings don't necessarily will perish..."

"No, I think you're wrong." Wang Lin, who hadn't spoken since Lao Zheng's death, suddenly raised his head and said, "After the virus escalates again, we are no longer human..."

Ling Mo's heart skipped a beat after hearing this... He was the only variable.

And what about zombies? Are there variables among the zombies?

For some reason, Ling Mo turned his head suddenly and looked at Ye Lian who was standing in front of the window. (To be continued...) r1292
