Chapter 46 (2/2)

Ling Mo didn’t want to look at a fresh human brain. Still, he couldn’t help but look at it when the brain was taken out and he was surprised by it.

No gel part was found inside the brain of this newborn mutated zombie, but the surface of his brain was covered with the red web-like structure seen on his internal organs and veins.

Perhaps if they gave him more time, these webs would have coagulated and formed a nidus inside his brain, which is the gel part.

Ling Mo stared at the brain for a while and abruptly slapped his thighs. “I get it now!”

These networks actually existed in the brains of normal zombies as well, but he wasn’t able to see it with his bare eyes because the virus was not pure enough and insufficient. The mutated zombie just absorbed a large amount of the virus and hence, the network became more obvious. He was at the peak of the influence under the virus. The desire for the virus would be added on top of the desire for flesh. To absorb more viruses, the zombie needed to kill more other zombies. To take a step further, he would need to kill mutated zombies.

Going from there, he would become an actual mutated zombie after a gel part formed inside their brain. In this stage, the virus’s invasion would focus on one point instead and the rest of the confined areas would slowly be released.

The gels would try to eat each other and the purer the virus, the smaller the volume. Perhaps when it was a certain degree of purity, it would become an extremely small gel part and the zombie with it would regain its sanity!

Xia Na was special because there was not a lot of the virus inside her body. She swallowed two gel parts and a purer one before the virus could spread to her brain.

Thus, a nidus formed in her brain before her brain was invaded by the virus and her thoughts were least affected.

Ling Mo didn’t know if his hypothesis was correct, but it was the closest answer he could get judging from the zombie’s body alone.

As expected, he was going in the right direction!

There was nothing more exciting than this result to him. He wasn’t a medical scientist… Perhaps he was wrong in many parts of his conclusion, but it may be possible from the result.

It proved that his hope was indeed possible and the next thing he needed to do was to turn this hypothesis into the reality!

He was excited for about ten minutes before he thought something was wrong. No matter what, it was strange for a normal person to stand in front of a disgusting dead body and smile while getting lost in thoughts…

“Throw it in the river… Damn, I need to go find some new clothes. The zombies’ noses must be rotting if they can’t smell the blood!”

“You… Why are you smiling?” Xia Na was helping him carrying the body and asked in confusion.

She finally formed a full sentence after a while. Ling Mo blinked eerily at her. “Because I remembered something else. You… feels nice, but it’s a bit small.”
