I failed again

Chapter 249 Zombie King

"Without solid evidence, we can only say that Yun An is a suspect, but we cannot say that he is the one." Feng Linxi said, "Yun An has risked his life countless times for the base and made so many contributions. Isn't it chilling to convict him just based on these inferences?"

"The base will definitely handle this impartially. We will not cover up for anyone, nor will we wrongly accuse a good person without solid evidence."

"You can rest assured that the base will send people to conduct an in-depth investigation. No matter who the culprit is, the base will severely punish him and will not show any leniency."

Feng Linxi's words still carried some weight. After hearing what he said, the researcher managed to calm down and was no longer so excited.

"We believe that the commander will do what he says," said the researcher.

Since taking office, the commander has put the base first. He cares about the base more than anyone else and will never do anything to shield a criminal.

"Yeah." Feng Linxi hummed and said, "I will."

The researcher looked at Feng Linxi and said, "We have already reported our research results. We will report to the commander if there are any new results later."

"Okay." Feng Linxi said.

"When I came here this morning, Academician Liang asked me to inform the commander to go to the research institute." The researcher said, "It seems that Academician Liang's research has made new progress."

"Okay, I'll go with you now." Feng Linxi said without any hesitation.

Liang Rui is currently mainly researching two projects, one is the vaccine, and the other is the energy extracted from the body of the level seven zombie. No matter which one makes progress, it is good news for them.

Feng Linxi guessed that the latter was more likely. Although he had learned the source of the energy from Bai Ci, the way he learned it was not easy to make it public, so he naturally could not spread the news. He could only wait and see the results of Liang Rui's research.

I don’t know whether Academician Liang’s research results include the existence of the Zombie King.

Before Feng Linxi stood up and left the office, he told Chu Yunze, "Yunze, help me sort out the documents first. I'll take a look at them when I come back."

"Okay, Commander." Chu Yunze smiled and watched Feng Linxi leave.

He was actually looking forward to Liang Rui's research results!

------

"Commander." Liang Rui put down the reagent in his hand and looked at Feng Linxi.

"Academician Liang, I heard that there has been progress in your research." Feng Linxi asked.

"Yes." Liang Rui said bluntly, "The Zombie King is not a guess, it really exists."

"How can Academician Liang be so sure?" Feng Linxi didn't expect that Liang Rui could actually discover it. He thought he had to guide Liang Rui to conduct research in this direction.

However, this is also a good thing. It saves a lot of time and can spread the existence of the Zombie King as soon as possible, allowing other bases to prepare early.

"I have studied that energy in depth these days and found that it is extremely powerful. Not only can it improve the levels of other zombies, but even if it is separated, it can still be used again."

"Moreover, all the zombies instinctively felt fear when they saw this energy. At first I thought this energy came from level eight or level nine zombies, so they felt fear."

“But I soon discovered that it wasn’t. If it was from a level eight or nine zombie, it means that high-level zombies can transfer their energy to low-level zombies, thereby raising the level of low-level zombies.”

"I took two level seven zombies to do an experiment and found that they were simply unable to do this. Later, I locked them up with zombies of other levels and found that the zombies of other levels would only obey their orders but would not show any fear."

"The only thing that will make them afraid is that energy. Only that energy can indiscriminately increase the level of any zombie."

"It's just that because the level of the initial stage zombies is too low, their consciousness is chaotic and their bodies are severely damaged. Even if the level is increased, their consciousness has not recovered and they are still as confused as before. Therefore, the zombies you captured for the first time, Commander, will behave like initial stage zombies."

Because it was originally a low-level zombie, but its level was increased artificially.

"Academician Liang should have other discoveries, right?" Feng Linxi asked, "Otherwise, Academician Liang would not be so sure that the Zombie King really exists based on these alone."

"Indeed." Liang Rui said, "I found out from the two level 7 zombies that they appeared around the base because they received an order to be captured by humans. The zombies who gave the order are called His Majesty."

"That level 7 zombie with chaotic consciousness was deliberately created by the Zombie King. His purpose was to mislead us about the higher-level zombies."

"Now, I can take this opportunity to report to the commander the results of my research on high-level zombies. The consciousness of high-level zombies is almost the same as that of humans. If we encounter some high-level zombies with no physical damage and body functions that are no different from humans, we will not be able to distinguish them even if they are mixed in with the crowd."

"So, I highly suspect that there may be high-level zombies among humans." Liang Rui stared straight at Feng Linxi, "And Commander, you also got the news a long time ago, so you suddenly allocated the land behind the research institute to Zhuang Xiang and others half a month ago so that they could conduct research."

Although Liang Rui has been staying in the laboratory for research, he is the head of the institute after all and knows all the news he should know.

After learning about the accident in the planting area, the first thing he thought of was the piece of land that was suddenly allocated to Zhuang Xiang and his people.

Afterwards, following this, Liang Rui thought about all of Feng Linxi's abnormal behavior in the past half month, including the fact that Feng Linxi suddenly transferred Xiao Ran back to Team 1 and asked Team 1 to go out on missions every day; and suddenly sent four people with special abilities to him secretly, asking him to personally lead two of the girls for research.

Combining these with his own research results, Liang Rui came up with a very bold conjecture.

"Commander, Xiao Ran, he is a high-level zombie, right?" Liang Rui asked.

Otherwise, Feng Linxi would not have transferred Xiao Ran from the research institute so suddenly.

Even if Feng Linxi said that there were not enough psychics in the base and Xiao Ran was needed temporarily, Liang Rui did not really believe this excuse. It was just that he was very annoyed with Xiao Ran at the time and felt that Xiao Ran was unrestrained and was affecting his research.

That's why he didn't ask any questions and even cooperated very well in sending Xiao Ran to the same team and letting Xiao Ran move to the accommodation area.

But after thinking about it carefully, Liang Rui found something wrong.

There are many zombies being held captive in the research institute for experiments. In order to prevent them from escaping, a number of people with special abilities have been sent to the institute.

And now, there are two more level seven zombies in the research institute. In this case, in order to prevent accidents from happening in the research institute, Feng Linxi will not only not transfer Xiao Ran back to the first team, but will also send in some higher-level psychics.

After all, Xiao Ran is the most powerful psychic in the base except Feng Linxi, and he has been working in the research institute for a long time. There is absolutely no chance that Xiao Ran will be transferred away, especially on the grounds of insufficient manpower in the team.

The entire base knows what the strength of Team One is, especially after Chu Yunze joined, the strength has become even stronger. How could it have fallen to the point where Xiao Ran had to be transferred back?

Moreover, after Xiao Ran returned to Team 1, the workload of Team 1 increased dramatically, leaving the Team with little time to rest. It was hard not to make Liang Rui suspect that Feng Linxi did it on purpose in order to prevent Xiao Ran from having time to contact the research institute.

Don't let Xiao Ran know about the recent major changes in the research institute.

Liang Rui was very puzzled. Why was he so wary of Xiao Ran for no reason?

Xiao Ran has been at the base for three years and has spent most of his time in the research institute. Isn't it too late to be on guard now?

Liang Rui pieced together the clues bit by bit, and finally came up with an impossible guess, but it was the only one that could explain all of Feng Linxi's recent actions.

Now, he was waiting for Feng Linxi to tell him the answer.

Feng Linxi looked at him for a long time, and couldn't help but praise Liang Rui for being smart as he could guess this.

"Yes."
