Volume 6: The Twelve Wallfacers Chapter 31 Theory of Rule Coverage
Two days ago, at the headquarters of Tianluodiwang, the second and third wallfacers came out almost at the same time.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Although they didn't say a word, they established a tacit understanding in an instant. Then, a strange thing happened in Tianluodiwang. The second wallfacer talked incessantly about his research findings, while the third wallfacer remained silent and did not communicate with others. However, Tianluodiwang's regulations on wallfacers stated that the wallfacer can refuse all questions and does not need to explain his actions to anyone. As long as the actions will not bring major disasters to China, they can be executed unconditionally.
In other words, the twelve of them have great authority!
Except for some major decisions that require the approval of the top management of Tianluodiwang, other things can be done as you please.
Seeing that they could not get anything out of the third wallfacer, the others thought that his research was not yet complete, so they focused their attention on the second wallfacer. The second wallfacer had obviously achieved some results, but unlike Liu Shicai, he did not have any substantial scientific progress and did not come up with something that could make humans stronger or weaken zombies.
Instead, it brings the latest theory: rule covering theory!
He explained his theory in detail so that everyone could know it, and he even explained it to a few people, including Shen Jin.
“First of all, both the failure of thermal weapons and the time lock mechanism of zombie genes are extremely unreasonable and do not conform to all existing laws of human beings.
I boldly speculate... In our current world, an invisible change has occurred, which has led to the emergence of the zombie virus. It may also be that the emergence of the zombie virus has brought about this change, that is... The rules of our earth within the observable hundreds of thousands of years have been changed.
"Rules" is the name I gave it based on the theory of the novel, which is actually what we in the scientific community refer to as the laws of physics.
But I think "rules" may better describe the current changes on Earth.
No!
Not just the earth, but the universe is changing.
Half a year ago, we and other countries' extraordinary organizations secretly carried out a multi-rocket launch, transporting humanity's most elite extraordinary astronauts into space, landing on the moon and Mars, and conducting experiments on the laws of physics.
Unfortunately, just like on Earth, our thermal weapons had been locked and could not be used.
The law of thermal weapons is: all those that rely on gunpowder or similar chemical reactions to provide energy to cause harm; or directly use the energy carried by fire, chemicals, lasers, etc. to injure people.
At the same time, the scary thing is that the zombie virus has shown great adaptability on both Mars and the Moon. After parasitizing the human host, it only takes 2 to 3 days to fully adapt to the environment there. Without any protective measures, it can survive and evolve on its own...
In other words, if zombies have the ability to fly in space, they will settle down in various places in the universe and conquer the solar system, the Milky Way, and the entire universe!
Therefore, scientists from various countries have come to the conclusion that zombies must be completely eliminated from the earth within a limited time!
This deadline is before the zombies evolve the ability to travel across space.
The above is the content of space experiments. Let's continue to talk about the things covered by the laws of physics. The laws of physics are typical conclusions that we humans have based on years of repeated experiments and observations and are generally accepted in the scientific field. Some physical laws are due to the reflection of the symmetry of nature, time and space, etc. The laws are fixed and not interfered by external conditions!
It has two main properties:
Universal, it applies everywhere in the universe.
Absolutely, nothing in the universe can affect it.
But, a year ago, it happened right under our noses!
The laws of physics have been changed!
But this change is not comprehensive. It is not some kind of absolute change, such as water turning into ice when heated, or igniting gunpowder not exploding but smoking. It is a more complex superposition state.
Leaves can be ignited, but the gunpowder in guns cannot be ignited. Electricity can be transported and transmitted, but electromagnetic weapons cannot emit beams and pulses.
After a long period of reasoning and a lot of experimental verification, I got the most likely result: some of the "rules" of our world are covered by "rules" of a higher level!
Among them, the time lock of the zombie virus is also a product covered by rules. When it reaches that stage, the "rules" of the world will undergo a brief change. In this way, zombies around the world can complete their evolution at the same time!
This virus is a "rule" virus!
The zombies’ ability to evolve may not belong to the Earth at all. They have genes that resonate with a certain existence outside, and “it” is the existence that covers the “rules” of our world!
Maybe it’s a certain creature, maybe it’s a certain planet, or maybe it’s... some special interstellar phenomenon.
With our current technological capabilities, we humans cannot reach the level of "rules", but... the extraordinary can! The abilities of a very small number of extraordinary people can also temporarily change the "rules" of our world, and the abilities of some extraordinary people can even subvert cause and effect!
When a fourth-order... or even fifth-order extraordinary person appears on our earth, perhaps we can fix the sick 'rules' in our universe!"
The Second Wallfacer's "Rule Coverage Theory" was quickly spread through the Tianluodiwang broadcast. This was the first time that China had a reasonable speculation about the changes taking place in the world. Regardless of whether other countries recognized the Second Wallfacer's conclusion or not, it at least gave the world's survivors a theory that might be correct.
Of course, the above words are spoken to everyone, so the words are relatively simple. There are also more scientific research data to confirm the speculation of the Second Wallfacer, which ordinary people cannot understand, but they will all be discussed at the next World Scientists Summit.
When this news spread throughout China and even the world within two days...the third wallfacer patted the second wallfacer on the shoulder, and the two looked at each other and smiled knowingly, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
…
The first year of the apocalypse, June 30th, 18:00 pm.
Shen Jin stood on the city wall, wearing a [quantum helmet], carefully observing the changes of the zombies below.
“Boom boom—”
A thunderclap sounded, and Shen Jin looked upwards: "The last time the zombies evolved, thunder also sounded in the sky. Could it be... some kind of ritual? Or a coincidence?"
Shang Qian did not stay in her Jinzhou City office today, but came here to observe the zombies.
She adjusted her black-framed glasses. "It's not a coincidence. After the last zombie evolution, I asked other local dragnet organizations and checked foreign satellite reports. At that moment, the whole world... was thundering!"
Shen Jin remembered the theory of the Second Wallfacer and thought that this might be a temporary "rule override" that caused the anomalies to appear simultaneously around the world...
The zombies below all raised their heads.
"here we go……"
Everyone stopped talking and focused their attention on the zombies below.
There are few zombies under the city wall, but there are quite a variety of them, which allows everyone to observe more carefully.
Shen Jin was wearing a [quantum helmet], and multiple pictures appeared inside, showing the zombies' heat, energy, cell activity, mass and other information in great detail!
The last time the zombies opened the time lock, Shen Jin was only a second-level elementary transcendent. Without such good equipment, he could not observe the energy in the air and the energy of the zombies. Now he is a third-level advanced transcendent with extremely strong perception abilities!
With the help of data analysis from the high-tech [Quantum Helmet], he can see more from this evolution of the zombies!
"Let me see...what exactly happened in your body? Where did the sudden increase in energy come from..."
"roar!!!"
Zombies all over the world roared together, making Shen Jin feel the sound waves coming from all directions and feel an extremely huge force!
At this moment, zombies all over the world seemed like a whole, and a strong pressure was floating in the air. The more advanced the extraordinary person was, the stronger the feeling was!
Shen Jin, Shang Qian, and Yang Ao looked at each other, and saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and then... the three of them turned to look at Li Moxiao. She was eating Cornetto and listening to the song, and she didn't feel anything at all...
Shen Jin: "Mo Xiao, didn't you feel anything horrible?"
"Hurry! Yes, yes!"
Shen Jin's face returned to normal. It seemed that his niece was just too carefree. As he continued to observe the evolution of the zombies, Li Moxiao's resentful voice came from behind, "I found out... the Cornetto in our warehouse is almost eaten up! How terrifying!!!"
Three people: (; 乛д乛)
Well, even if the world were to be destroyed, it would be hard to affect the appetite of a foodie...
The three of them simply ignored Li Moxiao and started observing on their own.
First, the cell activity in the zombies' bodies suddenly increased significantly!
The cells throughout the body began to move rapidly as if at a hundred times the speed.
Afterwards, the body began to change and grew rapidly in size!
Shen Jin could see from the data on the helmet that their mass was also increasing rapidly, which meant... beneath their swollen appearance, they were solid.
"Strange... According to the law of conservation of mass, there shouldn't be any sudden increase in mass... Oh! I see it!"
The zombies' feet, like plants, dig into the ground, absorb inorganic matter from the soil, quickly convert it into organic matter in the body, and the cells replicate rapidly!
The elements in the air were also plundered by them. It seemed that they were growing out of thin air, but... they plundered a large amount of elements from the surrounding environment and entered their bodies. The zombie virus was like an omnipotent cell that could carry out any incredible chemical reaction inside. At the same time, the energy in their bodies was also rapidly increasing. In the sky, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sun's light bathed the zombies. Each zombie frantically grabbed the sun's energy and converted it into its own crystal nucleus for storage.
"It's actually the same as my [Quantum Solar Generator]! It can absorb solar energy at super high speed, and quickly convert it into energy factors belonging to zombies through zombie virus cells, and store it in its own crystal core. It has such a high energy utilization rate, almost 100% absorption!"
Shang Qian also wore a helmet to observe. She said, "As the zombies evolve, the number of cells in their brains also increases. In other words... zombies without brains will become smarter as they evolve. This also proves why second-level zombies will run away when they can't win, and third-level zombies already have preliminary tactical awareness..."
Shen Jin used the perspective function of the [Quantum Helmet] to look at the zombie's brain and discovered that in addition to the crystal core, the brain, which was previously damaged by a human, was being refilled and repaired by the cells of the zombie virus. Although the amount was small, it already had some thinking ability. If it continued to increase, it would indeed increase its intelligence.
The same is true for human evolution. The capacity of the brain has gradually evolved from the initial 450ml to a peak of 1500ml, and intelligence has also become increasingly higher. However, in the past tens of thousands of years, the capacity of the human brain has declined again. Today, the average value is around 1350ml. I don't know what happened in the meantime.
Human scientists did not come up with any definite conclusions before the end of the world. Some theories said... maybe after humans invented tools, they thought less and became dumber.
But this is not scientific, because humans will also think about making more advanced tools, such as steam engines, cars, rockets... This process is much more difficult than making stone tools before.
Now it seems that it is very likely that something happened to humans tens of thousands of years ago, which led to the disappearance of the ancient extraordinary civilization, and at the same time, the 150ml brain capacity also disappeared...
"Perhaps we can find the answer in the ancient ruins..."
Shen Jin felt that this once familiar world seemed to be hiding a huge secret, but these secrets were gradually verified and deduced by the wall-facers of the dragnet, and gradually revealed to the public...
The zombies below were still evolving. Yang Ao took out his Craftsman Soul Crossbow, which he had hardly used since he was promoted to a third-level transcendent. The old model could cause great damage to first-level zombies, and it was very fast. Except for first-level agile zombies, other zombies were difficult to dodge, so it was very useful, but it was a bit weak against second-level zombies, both in terms of damage and speed.
The one in his hand is a new model, made of a new type of craftsman soul alloy. In addition to increasing durability, maximum attack power, and arrow speed, it also adds multiple damage affixes, which doubles the overall combat effectiveness of this alloy crossbow.
If used properly, it can even hunt down second-level evolved zombies that are not good at speed.
Yang Ao aimed at an evolving ordinary power zombie below, "Puff!"
The bowstring flickered out a phantom, and a crossbow arrow carrying two kinds of energy light, red flame and blood red, suddenly shot out. Its speed was no slower than that of a bullet fired from a pistol!
"clang!"
A piece of hard skin instantly evolved on the zombie's body, as hard as steel, blocking the attack!
But the zombie's body was blown away by the huge kinetic energy, and its evolution stopped. Then, under the action of the virus cells throughout its body, it stood up again, and its body was repaired and continued to evolve...
Yang Ao flew down by himself, his arms expanded, the quantum arm guard gave him a very high acceleration, and he swung his Artisan Soul Alloy Sword, "Puchi!"
The zombie's body evolved into a hard outer skin, but under Yang Ao's attack, it only lasted less than 0.1 seconds before it was broken and its body was cut in half. The zombie, looking at the half of its body, still wanted to stand up, "Bang!"
Yang Ao crushed its head with one foot and then flew back to the city wall.
"When they evolve, their bodies are protected, which is roughly equivalent to the protection of a second-level zombie. Unless you are much stronger than them, it will be difficult to break through!"
"Hmm...it seems that the plan of some people in Tianluodiwang to take advantage of this opportunity to kill zombies on a large scale is not going to work!"
After everyone waited quietly for 15 minutes, “Roar!!!”
All zombies have evolved.
…
At the Dragnet headquarters, the third wallfacer looked at the results of the various experimental subjects in the laboratory, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally opened his mouth, "It will be easy if it's not Schrödinger's zombies..."
