Although Zhao Louhai wasn't entirely sure what Ding Yun intended, he politely nodded, took several deep breaths, and then opened the tablet.
He began to read, feeling confused yet intrigued.
As he continued, he became increasingly shocked.
He kept muttering, "How is this possible? How could they? How dare they..."
Halfway through, after only looking at a few pictures and one video, his pupils contracted. Startled, Zhao Louhai quickly set the tablet aside, took several more deep breaths, and then said:
"Is all of this true? How dare they? This is anti-humanity! We're talking about six billion people. According to recent statistics, the number of people who have turned into zombies has already exceeded six billion, with less than a billion survivors. No war, no epidemic in the past has reached this number.
No, not even a fraction of it.
It's too terrifying, they're not even human!"
As he spoke, Zhao Louhai involuntarily stood up, his expression on the verge of collapse as he roared, shouted, and grieved.
These were six billion people, not six billion pigs.
Nor were they six billion ants.
The total number of deaths from all epidemics in human history combined wouldn't even come close, nor would the total deaths from all wars combined. This was undoubtedly an unprecedented, inhumane, and deranged plan.
"Base Commander, please calm down.
You can look at the rest. Our time is running out. Based on our investigation, once they develop the ability-enhancing serum that they can use, they will immediately release the ultimate zombie virus, and then no one will survive.
We must hurry, unite all possible forces, and discuss solutions. Simply being shocked or condemning them is useless."
Facing the crisis, they couldn't rely on the enemy's research to stall for time. Therefore, Ding Yun immediately patted the table and urged Zhao Louhai.
"What, they're going to release the virus too?"
Zhao Louhai had been shocked and enraged by just the first part. Hearing Ding Yun's words now, he immediately knew that there was even more monstrous action to come, so he quickly returned to his seat.
He continued to flip through the remaining content on the tablet.
Then he saw their ultimate plan.
He was so angry that his teeth ached, and his hands trembled slightly:
"These beasts truly consider themselves gods, wanting to enslave everyone. Do they think humans are leeks, to be harvested and replanted!"
"I believe the information you've provided is very likely true because many aspects of the official announcements previously made simply don't add up.
They've been vaguely alluding to possibilities and using 'suspected' and 'possible' to fob us off. Some explanations even came from people on the Western continent.
But if we put all this information together...
The previously inexplicable problems become much easier to understand."
"So, Ms. Zhu, what are your organization's next steps? What do you need me to do? I will cooperate as much as possible to safeguard human interests. I will not shirk my duty."
Perhaps because he had already experienced shock, by the time he saw the later part of the plan, where they intended to exterminate all of humanity and recreate humans themselves as gods, his mood, though still filled with anger, was somewhat more controlled.
"Alright, then I'll be frank with you.
Our organization has been trying to save the humans who have already turned into zombies, and we've achieved some initial results. In fact, we now have two evolved zombies who have completely transformed and no longer infect ordinary humans with the zombie virus.
The core factor promoting their evolution is...
supplying them with enough flesh and blood."
Fearing misunderstanding, Ding Yun paused at this point and quickly explained:
"Don't worry, we're talking about livestock meat like pork, beef, and lamb. Those two zombies never ate humans from the beginning. However, after their successful evolution, there's another issue: they have no memories. They cannot recover their memories from when they were human.
So, they are like newborns, newborns as blank as a piece of paper, needing to be re-educated."
"Additionally, we have also developed some gene evolution serums that can significantly enhance human physical fitness.
We hope to use these two points as a foundation to collaborate with all potentially cooperative bases. For example, we could try to see if people injected with gene evolution serums can still be infected, or whether the blood of evolved beings, who were once zombies, can be used to create a low-version, harmless evolutionary fluid that allows people to evolve slightly while also becoming immune to the zombie virus, thus preventing infection.
We originally planned to research this slowly ourselves, but the current situation is clearly critical. We worry that our own research speed is insufficient, which is why we are seeking cooperation.
Do you understand what I mean now?"
Zhao Louhai remained silent for a good while, replaying Ding Yun's words in his mind several times, sorting them out. Only then did he nod and say, "I think I understand.
Your organization's proposed solution to break this deadlock is to solve the zombie virus, or rather, to help current humans adapt to the zombie virus and not be infected by it. Another idea is to rescue those who have already become zombies, right!
No, wait. You actually succeeded?
You actually succeeded in turning zombies back into humans?"
"Yes, we succeeded. However, those zombies can't exactly be called humans again. They've become beings with special abilities and no memories.
But it's likely difficult to replicate this completely because we spent nearly forty tons of pork, beef, and lamb to turn those two zombies into evolved beings, averaging twenty tons of meat per zombie. To turn all zombies into evolved beings through this method is simply a pipe dream.
So, this plan can only be temporarily shelved until we find a more effective and achievable method. The most important thing right now is to address the infectiousness of the zombie virus and eliminate those devils."
Ding Yun explained briefly, then tried to steer the conversation back to the zombie virus.
However, Zhao Louhai was clearly more focused on the zombies themselves:
"How can this be? Zombies can actually recover. Even without memories, their physical bodies have recovered! But we are currently using zombie cores as temporary currency.
Isn't this treating human lives as currency?
And many people are constantly hunting zombies.
Some people have even personally killed their relatives who turned into zombies. If they knew about this, oh my god, the impact is unimaginable, it's too devastating!"
