My Girlfriend is a Zombie -
Chapter 1362: The Future Is Always an Unknown
“Fusion…”
Ling Mo’s heart stirred.
“She’s right. Look at those monsters that mutated after the virus upgraded-they’re the products of all mutation creatures fusing together,” Xia Na said.
Ling Mo lowered his head in thought, then asked with an unchanged expression, “You figured this out by studying yourself?”
“Yes, because you should know best that I’m not made up of a single individual. Even if Stella and I have the same blood type, that wouldn’t be enough for a complete fusion, right? What’s more, what we fused wasn’t just our bodies, but also our memories. And after the fusion, I didn’t feel like I was any particular part of it, but saw myself as a completely new individual. You should understand what that means, right?” the Spider Queen said calmly.
The Survivors were startled again, instinctively looking at Ling Mo, wanting to hear his answer.
Ling Mo glanced at them, nodded, and said, “You mean, this is fusion in the truest sense. This means that different individuals can form a more powerful Creature.”
“That’s right. After figuring this out, I started thinking, maybe the virus is trying to achieve this goal. Zombies devour each other-isn’t that what it’s all for? And the reason you humans haven’t evolved rapidly might be because you don’t devour each other.”
Su Qianrou frowned and couldn’t help saying, “Humans don’t need that kind of evolution!”
“Maybe.” The Spider Queen wasn’t angry at her sudden interruption, but continued looking at Ling Mo. “I created the seed, but I was still confused, because the Host Bodies I created weren’t part of me. But thanks to them, I was able to evolve so much, and then I hit a bottleneck.”
“You mean becoming a half-Finished Product perfect body?” Black Silk asked.
“Perfect body? Not bad. Half-Finished Product is also a fitting term. Looks like you know more than I thought.” The Spider Queen said, “See those foreign zombies? Actually, this isn’t the first time they’ve contacted us. In fact, I encountered them a long time ago. When my evolution reached the half-Finished Product stage, I started to feel like there was no way forward. Instinct drove me to leave X City.”
She gave Ling Mo a deep look and said, “Then I went to Central City. By then, the First Stage of evolution had already been completed there.”
“Lord of the City…” Yalin said thoughtfully.
“That’s right, the Lord of the City. By then, they already had a Lord of the City. After the Lord of the City ’emerged,’ the entire city, even all the zombies in the whole region, would obey it completely. Humans would lose any chance of resistance. Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it?” the Spider Queen asked.
“…”
But she quickly realized that her audience was a group of humans, and their cold reaction was already pretty calm.
“For zombies, yes. This shows that zombies were the main target of the virus at that time. Back then, I really wanted to become the Lord of the City as soon as possible, but after I came back… it was I who stopped the Lord of the City from appearing.”
All high-level zombies above King level were killed by her.
That’s why X City was so special.
Humans could survive until now, even gain a foothold.
But outside, things were much more brutal.
Obviously, after she returned, she gave the seed to Ling Mo.
She must have learned an even deeper secret.
Ling Mo suddenly asked, “What did you find there?”
The Survivors also snapped out of their shock. Right, if she hadn’t discovered something special, she wouldn’t have gone against her evolutionary instincts. 𝖗ἈŊоBЕꞨ
Especially now, when they had also become part of the “fusion,” they could understand the Spider Queen’s words even better.
“It’s simple. The one that needs to ‘unite’ the zombies isn’t the zombies themselves, but the virus. The Lord of the City is a ‘conspiracy,’” the Spider Queen said. “I saw the Lord of the City in Central City.”
Ling Mo met her gaze. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he looked past her at the Monster corpses on the street behind.
“That’s right, it looked just like that.” The Spider Queen confirmed his guess. “It doesn’t have its own way of thinking. All it does is keep fusing. Like a scientist working in a Laboratory, except it’s working for the virus. But my appearance reminded it of X City’s existence, and it started to pay attention here. Especially after I did my best to maintain the status quo. Under the virus’s urging, it realized it needed to wipe this place out.”
“At first, its plan was probably to kill me. When that didn’t work, they decided to kill you. But before they could act, they changed their plan. What you want to know is this, right?” The Spider Queen tilted her head and asked.
Ling Mo didn’t nod, but he kept staring at her.
After a moment of silence, the Spider Queen finally said, “Alright… What I saw there was the real viral hive.”
As she spoke, she pointed to her Hindbrain and continued, “I’m not talking about the zombies’ own, but the virus’s mother hive.”
“Such mother hives exist all over the world. When a zombie becomes the Lord of the City, its mother hive gradually swells out from its main body, constantly Absorbing, and eventually becomes a giant monster. That’s the real Lord of the City, and the zombie? It’s just its Puppet,” the Spider Queen said.
Ling Mo felt a chill in his heart… With the Spider Queen’s Intelligence, after seeing something like that, she really wouldn’t want to be the Lord of the City anymore.
“What made you find the way to become a perfect body?” Ling Mo pressed.
“Because I saw the real perfect body, which is the source of the virus. It’s the aggregate of all Creatures. Maybe it was born in this world, maybe not… But one thing’s for sure, it’s the biggest virus source. The virus on it will fuse all Creatures together and turn them into its companions.” The Spider Queen was silent for a long time, then said, “Maybe, it just needs companions.”
Everyone held their breath-the true source of the virus?
It was actually a Creature?
Ling Mo silently gripped Ye Lian’s hand, his tone becoming a bit strained: “Where is it?”
“This is the key to our negotiation.” The Spider Queen’s eyes suddenly grew complicated. “It’s still alive… and it’s about to wake up.”
Red air erupted all over the world, spreading rapidly.
Zombies, mutation beasts, and Survivors were all being Infected.
Some places were filled with slaughter, while others fell into confusion.
But when every place with living Creatures was dyed red, a pair of eyes suddenly fluttered open somewhere…
“Will you come with me? I sensed it in the mother hive, but I don’t know where it is. I only know it’s somewhere in this world, and when it wakes up, it will be the Lord of the World. None of us anomalies will survive. But likewise, if we can find it, then it’s the one who’ll die. As for us, we can fight each other after we take it down.” The Spider Queen asked.
Ling Mo turned to look at the people beside him, then at the Female Zombies.
With the secret of mutation laid bare and the path to the perfect body right before them, everyone reacted a little differently.
But most of them were staring at Ling Mo…
Su Qianrou glanced at Lucy and Lin Luanqiu, then swept her gaze over Mu Chen and the others.
“We’ll follow you.”
As for Black Silk and the others, there was no need to ask-their zombie eyes were all shining.
“We’ll go.” Ling Mo turned to the Spider Queen, then smiled, “But it’s ours, not yours.”
“I still remember I want to take you head-on.”
“I don’t think you have that chance now,” Ye Lian said coolly.
“That’s right, you at least have to get in line,” Xia Na said.
“Ahahaha… By the way, what about us?”
“Get lost!!”
