Volume 6: The Twelve Wallfacers Chapter 72: Confusing
He came out of nowhere, said something inexplicable, and left inexplicably...
Xi Fu just left the Tianluodiwang headquarters like this. When Hu Shou found out, he flew over to ask him a few questions and then let him go.
Wallfacer No. 11 asked, "What did he tell you?"
Hu Shou also showed a puzzled look, "He said he was looking for a 'clue'. I asked him where it was, and he said... he didn't know, but if he could find it, he would find it wherever he went. If he couldn't find it, no matter how much he reasoned, it would be useless!"
“Haha…Interesting!”
Wallfacer No. 11 only thought for a moment and no longer cared about Xi Fu's purpose. For him, saving China did not require the help of Wallfacer No. 12.
"Things have come to this point... It's time to end it. Let's speed up and usher in the post-apocalyptic... new era for mankind!"
Hu Shou nodded: "If it is really as I expected, this world... should be peaceful!"
Ever since Hu Shou was promoted to the fourth level, he understood one thing... zombies cannot be promoted to the fourth level of transcendence.
In fact, the current third-level zombies are not purely third-level. Humans need a certain level of understanding to be promoted to third-level transcendents. The most important thing is the ability to simulate and analyze, and to open up the sixth sense, so that they can be invincible in battle.
The improvement in hard power such as strength and superpowers is not that great.
But this is enough for a third-level transcendent to fight against a hundred second-level transcendents, and it is difficult for him to die.
This is not the case with third-level zombies. They have larger bodies and more energy, and their intelligence has also increased a lot, but... they are still far from the changes of third-level humans. This has caused a strange phenomenon... Third-level zombies are stronger in all aspects than third-level human extraordinary people, but... they often cannot beat extraordinary people of the same level.
Just because there is no strange sixth sense!
After reaching the fourth level, Hu Shou frankly admitted that this realm... is simply unreachable by zombies. Viruses like them with low intelligence will never be able to glimpse the secrets of the fourth level.
so!
Hu Shou boldly predicted that the limit of the zombie virus is level three!
The latest data from the laboratory also supports this speculation, because they found in the analysis of the genetic chain of the zombie virus that the genetic code responsible for opening the time lock has only four segments at most, and two segments have been used so far. There are still two opportunities for evolution in the zombie's genes, the second stage, the third stage... that's it!
In other words, after the zombies open their genetic locks twice more, they will reach the ultimate point of their strength.
Humans... haven't arrived yet!
Hu Shou, who is at the fourth level, knows that he still has a long way to go in the future. After reaching this stage, he gradually understands some things about the nature of extraordinary energy.
Chu Xu and Hu Shou chatted for a while, mainly talking about the next layout for clearing out the zombies. Both of them didn't care whether Xi Fu, who "ran away from home" alone, would have any safety issues, because they both knew... even if they died, Xi Fu might not die, because his special ability... was unique.
After experiencing the episode of Wallfacer No. 12 coming out and leaving, the Tianluodiwang headquarters continued to operate at high speed. Chu Xu issued one order after another, and the Tianluodiwang troops equipped with new equipment turned into sharp knives and stabbed into the abdomen of the zombie tides in various places, and every cut drew blood!
…
Xi Fu walked in the territory of China, without any goal or direction, he just walked.
Walking through the streets and alleys, looking at the ferocious zombies, he killed a few of them and clapped his hands, "Is the limit of zombies coming? Haha... your methods... are more than that, right?"
He looked up at the sky, as if he was talking to someone, his eyes were full of depth and mystery...
Suddenly, a fiery red blood shadow flashed in the sky and bit off his head that was staring at the sky, "Puff--"
The Y3 zombie swallowed it in a few gulps, then let out a strange cry and flew away, leaving behind only a headless body that was still walking.
…
Another week has passed...
Shen Jin and Sun Can were still killing zombies, and both of them were secretly holding back their energy to see who would reach the fourth level of transcendence first. This made Shen Jin's sense of urgency increase again. This was just like a friend of Shen Jin who wrote online articles before the end of the world. He was usually very lazy, but when he set a goal to spell words with other author friends, he would suddenly become motivated!
See who reaches that ultimate word count goal first!
A competitive and hard-working player.
The two are now competing to see who is stronger.
Before this, Shen Jin had participated in very few battles, the most recent one being the century-long war in Shenji.
Faced with Murata, an evil spirit that was condensed from all the special skills practiced by God.
But at that time, his life was not threatened, and the excitement of fighting was not so strong. The battles in City B these days made Shen Jin feel the adrenaline rush every day...
After leaving the gravity armor, I used my own body to fight the zombies. Although I knew that once my life was threatened, the gravity armor would automatically come out to save me, but... it was still very exciting, just like riding a roller coaster. Everyone knew that it was safe and nothing would go wrong, but there would still be little emotions like tension, fear, terror, screaming, incontinence, etc.
In Shen Jin's words, he had truly touched the true meaning of battle. At the same time, as a special type of psychic, Shen Jin's flexible use of his abilities in battle was crucial. He knew when to use which fruit, how much dosage to use, and how to control the side effects of the fruit. During the battle, Shen Jin made rapid progress.
During this period, Shen Jin also made some modifications to his own supernatural food to make it more adaptable to his own combat rhythm.
Make a 30-second supernatural food in seconds, then switch to the next food seamlessly. At the same time, multiple supernatural powers are possessed, arranged and combined into the best combat state...
Shen Jin is like the ultimate patchwork monster, integrating all the superpowers he can copy into his combat system. He is no longer just a logistics lord who allocates his superpowers based on big data every day. Instead, he has become a combat lord, using his special superpowers to arm himself into an almighty transcendent.
That’s right, Shen Jin’s combat positioning for himself is—the almighty extraordinary person!
His special ability can definitely do that.
Moreover, during these two weeks, Shen Jin spent a lot of mental energy every day to copy the various super powers of the super team, constantly enriching his own super power library.
"Hu Shou said... the fourth stage is a brand new stage, a stage where humans truly master themselves. Genes, superpowers, and life are all under control. When you have the ability to explode, you can mobilize every bit of available power in your body. If I want to advance to the fourth stage, then... I must understand every bit of my power!"
To bring your special abilities to their full potential!
Only then could Shen Jin face the...disaster that Hu Shou mentioned.
Sun Can also learned the secret of the fourth level through Shen Jin. His body was burning with a fire that seemed to never go out, making it impossible to see his expression. But Shen Jin knew that his total energy had not changed, but the flames outside his body were getting stronger and stronger. This was a manifestation of the gradual improvement of his control over supernatural powers.
Even the color of the aura skills released by Sun Can gradually darkened, and the power of blessing became stronger and stronger. "It turns out... my skills can be enhanced by myself. It is my body and mental strength that limit the use of skills. If I reach the fourth level, the effects of these skills can be doubled!"
Just like the heroine in the movie "Lucy", humans only develop about 10% of their brains. Once developed to the extreme, they will gain all kinds of incredible abilities.
Although this is a science fiction movie, this is what Shen Jin and Sun Can are doing now, gradually developing their original abilities to the extreme, reaching the level of subtlety, and then reaching the threshold of the fourth level.
Sun Can continued in the flames: "I can feel my body slowly evolving... my mental strength is also loosening, maybe... my calamity is coming soon!"
Shen Jin's heart tightened, and the alloy heavy sword in his hand almost slipped out of his hand, "Damn! Are you still one step faster?"
Sun Can shrugged, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
"Maybe this is what genius is? Even without the system, I'm still strong enough to make people jealous, hahahaha——"
Shen Jin rolled his eyes at Sun Can, then stopped what he was doing. "Practice on your own. We are about to get close to the 'death zone' marked by the Tianluodiwang. There is a big guy in there, and it is not weaker than the plant zombie we dealt with last time. Don't mess with it for now. Wait until I come back!"
Sun Can frowned. “You want to go out? Didn’t we agree to fight until we reach the fourth level before leaving? You can’t lose your fighting spirit! If you waver a little, you will lose the chance to advance to the fourth level!”
Shen Jin turned on his [Space Positioner], "I am not shaken, but there is one thing... which is extremely important and may be related to the truth of the existence of our system. I must solve it!"
Sun Can was suddenly startled, as if he suddenly remembered something...
"Okay, go quickly and come back soon. I'll wait for you to fight the Boss together."
"good!"
A white light flashed, and Shen Jin disappeared on the spot. The next moment, he appeared at the headquarters of Tianluodiwang, and Liu Shicai had been waiting for him.
…
Where does consciousness go after death?
What is the boundary between zombies and humans?
With brains or without brains?
After humans turn into zombies, does their original consciousness still exist?
Did it just disappear or... was it buried?
Even the top biologists cannot give an authoritative answer to these questions.
After the zombie virus broke out, the people infected with the virus turned into zombies. The Dragnet announced that they were no longer part of the human race, were no longer subject to any human laws, and had no power.
Zombies are monsters; this is the unanimous understanding of almost all surviving humans.
But... there is a "person" who doesn't think so. He thinks that zombies can also regain their original consciousness. He believes... that after humans become zombies, their consciousness does not dissipate, but is buried deep inside and needs to be guided out.
Because... he himself is half human and half zombie.
Liu Dalang !
The only zombie in the world known to have complete human memory.
Helping Su Lele regain his previous memories is his only goal, and no one can stop him.
Last time, after obtaining a special crystal core, Liu Dalang used his ability to absorb the peculiar energy of the plant zombie crystal core. This power has the attribute of recovery, which can not only strengthen himself, but also repair his body and soul. After being guided by Liu Dalang's special skills, this energy was also slowly transferred into Su Lele's body. After more than two months, he finally absorbed the energy of this crystal core, and Su Lele was successfully promoted to a third-level zombie!
He stretched out his black hand tremblingly, lifted the scarf and veil covering Su Lele's face, revealing the well-preserved human face, "Lele... can you hear me? Are you... awake?"
Su Lele has a petite figure and looks like an ordinary agile evolved zombie. When ordinary zombies reach the third level, their bodies will undergo tremendous changes, and they may be tens or hundreds of meters tall. They also gain the ability to compress their bodies. However, after Su Lele's promotion, her body did not change... and she still maintains the body shape of a human woman.
She raised her head and looked at Liu Dalang, a very humane look flashed in her eyes, and then she lowered her head again.
Liu Dalang shook Su Lele's body, "Lele, can you hear my voice? I am Dalang. If you can understand, just blink!"
He looked at Su Lele nervously, not daring to breathe, for fear of missing any expression of Su Lele.
But... he didn't get a wink from Su Lele in the end...
However, what made Liu Dalang happy was that although Su Lele did not show any signs of recovering his memory, his intelligence had increased a lot compared to before. He could follow some of his instructions and understand simple meanings.
It looks like a child who is learning a language.
Half a day later, Liu Dalang, who was half worried and half happy, cheered up again, "It's useful! Everything I did is useful! Since the third level can't restore your human memory... then the fourth level! I will help you advance to the fourth level, it will definitely work!"
After completely absorbing the crystal core of the plant zombie, Liu Dalang's strength improved by leaps and bounds. Although he didn't know where the peak of the third-level zombie was, but... he felt that he was strong enough and it was time to take another step forward.
"But... why do I feel that the zombie's body can't feel the bottleneck of the fourth level? How can I become the fourth level?"
Liu Dalang fell into deep thought.
…
At the Tianluodiwang headquarters, Shen Jin, who had taken the [Translation Potion], was watching the newly discovered images about the tribe called the Cultivator Tribe.
Liu Shicai and his friends really couldn't translate it, so they tried to ask Home No. 1 if there was any solution. After all, in the eyes of Tianluodiwang, Shen Jin's technology came from the inheritance of ancient ruins, which was a bit like those cultivators' tribes who liked to tinker with strange refining techniques. As a result, Shen Jin actually said that he could give it a try!
Surrounded by a group of Wallfacers and high-level officials of the Heaven and Earth Network, Shen Jin listened to a passage left behind by ancient humans.
After hearing the last sentence, Shen Jin clenched his fists, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
When Liu Shicai saw this, he hurriedly asked, "What did he say?! "
Shen Jin calmed down for a moment and translated word by word: "The strong men in the tribe have gone crazy, and they have become like the aliens who died in their own hands.
Over the years, we cultivators have integrated the blood power of alien races into our bodies, thus gaining special abilities one by one. The price is... humans are no longer the pure humans they used to be. The blood of those alien races is still hidden in our bodies. It is like a curse that can never be eliminated. Once it is activated... humans will transform into alien races again. In the future, humans must use gene locks to become saints in order to resist this curse from blood. Using supernatural powers to become saints... will ultimately only make wedding clothes for alien races!"
Shen Jin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "He said... for a superpower to advance to the fourth level is... a dead end!"
There was silence at the scene...
