Chapter 216 He is just a madman.
Shousui really didn't expect that Gene Lock Company actually had such an inside story. He thought that Gene Lock Company was the mastermind of this world-destroying plan, but he didn't expect that it was just a background cannon fodder used as a gun by others. This is too different from the original text that Shousui had read roughly before he came here. Even the boss has changed.
Even though we know that it is because of his arrival that most of the plot has been changed invisibly, but, is it so serious that even the villain boss has been changed?
Although I don't remember much about the original plot, the changes and changes in the current plot have little impact on the protagonist, not to mention that the original book is a pretentious and cool story of fighting monsters and leveling up without CP, and collecting minions and making a few friends along the way. It is similar to the route that He Ci is taking now, except that there is one more him.
However, Shousui still remembered a few of the big and small bosses in the original book, especially the final boss. He clearly remembered that the big boss in the book was Zuo Xiao, so he used the excuse that he suspected Zuo Xiao was the key to this virus disaster and came to City Z with He Ci to look for him.
He had originally wanted to destroy Zuo Xiao, the big boss, before he grew up. But now, Shousui looked at Zuo Xiao sitting on the sofa opposite him. The boss in the original book not only said that he and his father's gene lock company were victims of deception and exploitation, but also that he and they were not enemies, but in the same camp. Their common enemy was Lou Lin.
To Shousui, it seemed as if someone had forcibly snatched and changed Zuo Xiao's script, and that person was the Professor Lou Lin mentioned by the other party.
Shousui felt surprised by this and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious of Zuo Xiao. Even though the other party was an acquaintance of Mo Yuankai, before knowing the purpose of Lou Lin's doing this, the truths Zuo Xiao said were just his one-sided words. They could be true or they could be meant to confuse people.
After all, their Gene Lock Company and Lou Lin were once one, and the Zuo Group in the original book was very powerful, so how could it be easily overthrown and used by Lou Lin? Therefore, Shousui believed that whether it was Zuo Xiao, Gene Lock Company, or even Professor Lou Lin employed by Zuo Qiongling, they were all likely the masterminds of this disaster.
As for why Zuo Xiao and Lou Lin are not getting along now, it is very likely because the two sides have differences, or it is not necessarily caused by a conflict of interests and goals.
Several people were curiously flipping through the information on the table. Shousui just glanced at a few documents and put them down, because the information was similar to what Tianqing copied from Amber, and he already knew it.
What Shousui wanted to know more about now was Lou Lin. If the truth was as Zuo Xiao said, and Lou Lin did all this for his own selfish reasons, then what was his purpose? It should not be just to cure Zuo Xiao. After all, using human bodies to conduct R virus experiments was not only unethical but also illegal. He would not go to such a crazy step for Zuo Xiao, a patient.
"Is there any personal information about Lou Lin?" Shousui asked Zuo Xiao while searching through the documents piled on the table for information related to Lou Lin. "And why did Lou Lin do this?"
"Yes, I'll get it." Zuo Xiao responded and went out again.
After returning, the young man directly handed a document and a booklet to Shousui.
"He is a scientific madman." Zuo Xiao replied to Shou Sui's previous question, "Lou Lin created the existence of 'superpowers' and even 'mutants' through continuous human experiments and research."
"Even the zombies that can be seen everywhere outside, after his countless studies and transformations, have been divided into very detailed levels, and can continue to evolve into zombie kings with more outstanding abilities."
"The existence that is superior to zombies is the 'mutant'. The reason why mutants are called mutants is that most of them are mutated from humans who participated in the gene unlocking experiment. Although mutants are also zombies, they retain all the human consciousness as humans, and they also have extremely strong self-healing abilities and are immortal."
Zuo Xiao explained to everyone the origin and abilities of the 'mutators' in as much detail as possible.
"In addition to the basic self-healing abilities inherent in all mutants, the abilities they activate will vary depending on the mutant's physique or the environment they are in."
"For example, the ability I have activated is 'soul possession'. In layman's terms, I can extract my soul consciousness from my body at any time and place and attach it to another organism. After the possession, I will temporarily dominate the body of the possessed person.
Moreover, the object of my possession is not limited to any species. I can choose humans of the same race, zombies that can be found everywhere, and gluttonous corpse beasts, etc. All living things can be used by me. At present, my strength level is level seven, and the duration of possession can last up to three hours depending on the difficulty of the object. "
Shousui stared in surprise when he heard it, and couldn't help but exclaimed to the system Xuan Sang, "Good boy, you really guessed it!"
"Hmph, don't you see who I am?" Xuan Sang responded without any modesty.
"I know, I must know, but there's no need to repeatedly emphasize that you are my son. You should be low-key, do you understand?" Seeing that the system was getting a little too proud of itself, Shousui immediately gave him a stick in a serious manner.
Xuan Sang felt that he had one more reason to come out and beat someone up, but considering that there were outsiders present and it was inconvenient for him to go out, he endured it!
He Ci standing next to him just showed an expression of "I see".
Yifeng was flipping through the information in his hand while listening to their conversation with his ears perked up, looking up and glancing at them from time to time.
After Mo Yuankai explained Mo Yuanchu's current situation to Zuo Xiao, he lowered his eyes and silently looked at the experimental data about the r virus in his hand. At first glance, it seemed that he was quite focused, but upon closer inspection, it could be found that the man's eyes were staring at the documents motionlessly, slightly empty and lifeless, which made him seem a little absent-minded.
Chi Yu felt even more inferior when he heard that young man was so powerful. He quietly raised his eyes and scanned the crowd. Everyone present was a capable person, and he was the only ordinary person. Although Shou Sui, He Ci, and Mo Yuankai had never disliked him for helping, at this moment Chi Yu still felt helpless as if he was a burden. He could not help but hide himself in the corner, with his head drooping even lower.
Zuo Xiao on the other end continued, "For example, the sister of Akai you mentioned, Mo Yuanchu, also possesses the power of healing, and she can heal quickly with visible power the moment she is injured. This shows that she is more powerful than me and the mutants around Lou Lin."
"Because so far, my healing power, including that of several other mutants, is not as strong as that of Yuanchu's sister. We cannot heal wounds immediately after being injured. Instead, as long as we are not killed on the spot by a single blow, no matter how serious the injury is, we only need to eat and rest to heal the wound the next day. At the latest, we will recover within two days."
Shousui was even more surprised when he heard this. Isn't this the same situation as his? So he is also a 'mutator'? Or in other words, the system helped him evolve by formulating the policy with the 'mutator' or higher existence as the target direction.
In order to not expose his system and explain why Shousui was so different from other ordinary zombies, He Ci had always used the excuse that he was a mutant with special abilities. Unexpectedly, his explanation turned out to be quite accurate. No wonder Amber and the others were fooled so easily.
"Sister Yuanchu's basic healing ability alone is stronger than all of us, so wouldn't the supernatural powers she stimulates be even more powerful?" Zuo Xiao suddenly looked at He Ci with curiosity and asked.
He Ci was looking through the data on the strength classification of zombies, superpowers, and mutants. Hearing this, he thought for a moment before looking up at Zuo Xiao and replied, "Mo Yuanchu's superpower is to make a contract with humans to make them into puppet blood servants. The puppet will also have the same healing and fighting abilities as the master, and this puppet still retains the human consciousness before the contract."
After a pause, he continued, "According to the power levels that Professor Lou has divided zombies and superpowers into, based on the strength I detected when I fought Mo Yuanchu last time, she should be at the eighth level."
After He Ci finished speaking, he secretly called up the system panel that only he could see on the folder in his hand. Then he calculated the level corresponding to his current combat power according to the zombie level system.
[Survivor: Congratulations
Military Strength: "Red Crow" Realm, (After conversion, it is equivalent to the eighth level in the psychic system.)
Mental power: S-level, (after conversion, it is the seventh level in the psychic system.)
Fire Elemental Power: S-level, (equivalent to the seventh level in the psychic system after conversion.)
Shadow Clone Control: SS level, (also eighth level.)
Territory perception: Current range is 200 meters.
Survival points: 35 million. 】
He Ci glanced over his converted skill information and closed the system panel.
Although Zuo Xiao had expected that Mo Yuanchu might be a little stronger than him, he was still a little surprised when he heard He Ci say it himself. "No wonder Lou Lin wanted to control her and use all the despicable means to take Sister Yuanchu as his own."
When Mo Yuankai mentioned Mo Yuanchu, he said that Yuanchu's sister had all her memories replaced by Amber's hypnosis, and she had forgotten her closest friends and relatives, and then Amber used her to deal with them. Zuo Xiao was furious when he heard this, and he wanted to teach Amber a lesson on behalf of Mo Yuankai.
"Is there any connection between what you said and Lou Lin's purpose?" Shousui was looking through Lou Lin's personal information. After listening to Zuo Xiao's words, he still didn't understand, so he asked with some confusion.
Shousui did not even raise his head, and continued to turn the page of the document in his hand. The more he read, the more he admired Professor Lou. He had been skipping grades since he was a child, or he was directly recommended to the university.
At the age of 23, he was selected as one of the top ten scientists of the year by Nature magazine and was named one of the important people influencing science and technology by Time magazine. There are many such deeds, which shows that Lou Lin is also a well-known legend in the scientific community.
This Professor Lou is so young and promising. Just after reading the information and achievements introduced in the profile, Shousui feels that he is almost becoming his little fan.
It wasn't until he turned the page and saw the photo of this famous figure that Shousui was stunned.
"You've got the point," Zuo Xiao responded to him, "Because Lou Lin is also a 'mutator', do you know what his superpowers are?"
Shousui was still in a daze and didn't hear Zuo Xiao's question at all. When He Ci heard that Lou Lin was also a mutant, he raised his eyes curiously and glanced at Zuo Xiao and asked, "What is it?"
Zuo Xiao did not wait for Shou Sui to respond, and answered solemnly, "His ability is bloodthirsty plunder. He can absorb the blood of a mutant and possess their abilities permanently. This is why he wants to win me over and even wants to control other mutants. He also widely promotes IF6 reagents to ordinary people and instigates others to conduct gene lock unlocking experiments. His purpose is simple and arrogant. He wants to create a god and then become a god."
