My family is reborn every day [System]

Yao Tai smiled gently: "You don't need to be so nervous. The origin of this crystal nucleus is related to the internal research of our research institute, so it cannot be announced for the time being. However, it should not be what you think."

There was a slight tingling sensation in the palm of his hand, and Xiao Yingfeng loosened his fist, only to realize that he was too nervous.After calming down a bit, Xiao Yingfeng spoke again: "The research is to help everyone survive better in the last days, so your experiments should be based on humanitarianism, right?"

Facing Xiao Yingfeng's intentions, Yao Tai smiled without saying a word, but the gentle smile on his face made Xiao Yingfeng shudder.

After a long while, Yao Tai said: "If you don't believe us, you should also believe your father. The research done in the research institute has been approved, just like before we studied the supernatural beings in your team. It’s like getting your consent first.”

Xiao Yingfeng breathed a sigh of relief: "Sorry, I was too surprised."

Yao Tai didn't take it seriously, looked at the box that had fallen into Zhan Yi's hands, and asked, "Have you guys seen such a crystal nucleus before?"

Xiao Yingfeng and Zhan Yi glanced at each other. They didn't disclose this matter to the people in the research institute, but it doesn't hurt to tell them now.

Zhan Yi said: "Before we came here, we were attacked by a person with supernatural powers. From his head, we accidentally found such a crystal nucleus with a similar shape."

Hearing his words, Yao Tai showed a look of surprise: "You mean, you also have one of these crystal nuclei, or did you find it from a person with supernatural powers?" Zhan Yi nodded, and Yao Tai didn't speak for a long time. Seeing his reaction, Xiao Yingfeng was really relieved.Yao Tai's appearance does not seem to be a disguise, his crystal nucleus should come from other sources.

"We have never heard of the situation you mentioned before. If it is convenient, can you be more specific?" Yao Tai's tone was solemn.

Xiao Yingfeng and Zhan Yi exchanged glances, and told Yao Tai about their encounter with Jia Erqiang and their attacks.Yao Tai recorded the information while listening.

After writing the last word, Yao Tai suddenly laughed: "So Xiao Xiao had this reaction just now, thinking that our crystal nucleus was dug out from the brains of the supernatural beings, and worried about when we will attack you?"

Xiao Yingfeng blushed: "Yes, I'm sorry."

Yao Tai shook his head: "You don't need to apologize, it's natural to have such thoughts, after all, no one wants to be studied under a microscope." However, there was one thing that Xiao Yingfeng said that made him more concerned, "The corpse Transformed supernatural beings..."

"This is just our conjecture. Judging from the current situation, the possibility of this conjecture being correct is very low." Zhan Yi answered.If Jia Erqiang's situation is really a secondary mutation, then it is absolutely impossible for Jia Erqiang to have such a situation.And the group of them arrived at the base for so many days, many teams came in and out, and they had never heard of any injured supernatural being turned into a zombie.

Yao Tai understood Zhan Yi's meaning: "The thing I wanted to find when I left the base this time was also based on my guess about zombies, but my idea was rejected from the very beginning." Yao Tai smiled. Feeling a bit sad, after a while he pulled himself together and said, "If you use my conjecture as an explanation for what you said, it is reasonable."

Xiao Yingfeng couldn't help wondering what Yao Tai's conjecture looked like.

"For a long time, although the research institute has been able to isolate the zombie virus, it has not been able to determine its true pathological effect. The current research direction of the research institute is that the zombie virus is a catalytic element that makes ordinary people, after being infected with the virus, Going in three different directions, usually we call it mutation." Yao Tai cited these three directions, "It shows that after infection, some people become zombies, some people awaken their abilities, and some people It is still the same as it was before, without showing any supernatural powers and zombies have no rationality." Yao Tai casually drew a line on a piece of white paper, the arrows at both ends of the line point to the supernatural being on one side, zombies on the other, and the zombies in the middle. ordinary people.Ability users and zombies are two extremes. Under the circumstances that it is known that ordinary people mutate into zombies irreversibly, ability users and zombies have become two completely irrelevant groups.

Xiao Yingfeng nodded. Anyone who has studied biology in high school can understand the non-directionality of mutation.

Yao Tai drew a big X on this picture.Xiao Yingfeng looked at him suspiciously.

Yao Tai drew a new line. This time, he wrote ordinary people and zombies on both sides, and replaced it with supernatural beings in the middle.Arrows pointing from ordinary people to zombies.

"My guess is that it's simply represented by lines." Yao Tai showed the picture to the two of them, "Supernatural beings are just a form between ordinary people and zombies. I'm not sure about zombies and supernatural powers." Is it reversible for the process of mutual transformation of the supernatural beings, but I think that the supernatural beings can mutate into zombies under certain circumstances."

Xiao Yingfeng silently reached for Zhan Yi's hand, but Zhan Yi held him instead.Both of them felt a chill down their spines.

"If my conjecture is true, then the Jia Erqiang you mentioned is the first such example. After he was stimulated by the outside world, he transformed from a supernatural being into a zombie, and then attacked you." Yao Tai was useless. What affirmative words, but the tone is so crisp that people can't help but believe his words.

Zhan Yi's reaction to his high-spirited remarks was: "No wonder the research institute rejected your conjecture from the very beginning."

Yao Tai was startled, and then laughed: "That's right, if this conjecture is true, the base might collapse as it did a month ago." The supernatural beings who have gradually become the backbone of the base, if they become zombies If there is a tendency, then the originally reliable protective umbrella becomes an untimely bomb.Before the base has dealt with all the zombies, I am afraid that the hearts of the people have already dispersed.

Xiao Yingfeng pondered secretly, using Yao Tai's theory to explain why there was a riot in Suxing in the first place, from the perspective that some supernatural beings turned into zombies under the stimulation.

"But Dr. Yao, what exactly is the 'some kind of stimulation' you mentioned?" Xiao Yingfeng asked.

Yao Tai shook his head: "There are too few cases that I can use to support the conjecture, and there is no way to carry out follow-up research. I can only assume that there is such a factor that will influence people with supernatural abilities to become zombies."

Zhan Yi said: "So, as long as you go out this time and you can find enough evidence to prove the feasibility of this conjecture, or any evidence that is contrary to the current development direction of the research institute, you can start research in this area, right?" Yao Tai nodded.

"That's how it is, Dr. Yao, prepare what you want to bring, try to simplify it, and we will notify you when the time is set."

After the two of them left the research institute, Xiao Yingfeng asked Zhan Yi anxiously: "Can we really find the evidence that Yao Tai wants when we go out this time? You said he wants us to catch a living zombie and bring it back. You don’t want to do human experiments, do you?”

Zhan Yi stuck the bottle in his hand to Xiao Yingfeng's face: "Don't think so much."

Xiao Yingfeng stretched out his hand to hold the soda can against his face, and Zhan Yi took his hand back.Xiao Yingfeng took it down and took a look to realize that what Zhan Yi used to stick his face was an unopened can of Coke.

"Why don't you drink it?" Xiao Yingfeng asked while holding the can.

Zhan Yi raised his eyelids: "Don't you like drinking this?" Xiao Yingfeng pursed his lips and smiled, feeling a little happy in his heart.

Putting the cans into the backpack, Xiao Yingfeng asked again: "Do you think Yao Tai's conjecture is correct?"

Zhan Yi was silent for a while, and when Xiao Yingfeng thought he would not answer his question, he uttered a name: "Ling Xiao."

Xiao Yingfeng was startled.He remembered the incident that he and Zhan Yi left Jiang Jing's house in the morning.If there are not a few people like Ling Xiao, then are there some people who turn into corpses with their right hands, legs, or even their whole body, but possess supernatural powers and clear minds?

Xiao Yingfeng hesitated and asked: "This kind of person...is he still a human being?" After asking this sentence, Xiao Yingfeng felt a little regretful. If Ling Xiao heard this sentence, he would definitely be very sad.Ling Xiao only showed the appearance of a zombie with one hand, and the rest is obviously no different from normal people!

However, where is the dividing line between human and non-human?

Facing Xiao Yingfeng's question, Zhan Yi only said one sentence: "Yingfeng, 'If you are not of my race, your heart must be different'. There is a reason why this sentence has been passed down."

The two returned to the villa, Xiao Yingfeng was suffocating, and had nothing to say all the way.

After returning to the villa, Wu Yingze who was sitting on the sofa stood up immediately when he saw the two of them.

"Brother Zhan, Brother Xiao."

Xiao Yingfeng was shocked by these two sentences. He didn't know Wu Yingze's exact age, but at least it was probably in his thirties, right?Calling him brother is really unbearable.

It's just that the title "Brother" sometimes represents a kind of respect, Xiao Yingfeng smiled at him: "You are older than me, so I should call you Brother, you can just call me Xiao Xiao."

Wu Yingze nodded and smiled, but did not speak.

Zhan Yi sat down and asked casually, "How about the supernatural power?" Before parting, Xiao Yingfeng asked Zheng He to hand over a wind element crystal nucleus to Wu Yingze.

Wu Yingze replied: "I haven't absorbed it yet, but I will do it as soon as possible." He knew that Zhan Yi gave him the crystal nucleus to improve his strength first, and then to see his development prospects. It was a test.Whether they can gain the trust of Zhan Yi and the others in the future and occupy a place in the team will be watched once.

Zhan Yi nodded: "We preliminarily set the mission in three days, you just need to make preparations before then. Zheng He has already sorted out the first floor, if you want to live here, you can move here at any time."

When Wu Yingze came down, the expression on his face was a little excited.

Three days later, Zhan Yi and Xiao Yingfeng led the team and left the base again with a group of newly recruited personnel and a doctor.
