CHAPTER 1240: CHAPTER 293: OFFICER HUANG: DO YOU TAKE ME FOR A BLIND MAN? (PART 2)

He recounted to Professor Xia everything that Professor Jin had told him, verbatim.

Then he spoke about Officer Huang’s act of devouring others and how he himself evolved from it. They were well-acquainted with Officer Huang, and upon hearing this, they all nodded silently in approval; Officer Huang becoming stronger was indeed something to be congratulated.

Professor Xia said, "In this case, I will extract the superior gene from Qin Ling and inject it into Dongdong and Xiao Shen. This way, their genes will be altered, and should develop in the most perfect direction."

Zombies consuming flesh can extract superior genes, but the scene is too horrific. Dongdong is just at that age, holding a piece of meat and eating with blood all over his mouth. It’s indeed a bit unsettling.

Lin Fan said, "Yes, we can do that."

Gu Hang asked, "Xiao Fan, does that Qin’s base have no survivors anymore?"

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "No, we arrived too late. All the surviving people had already been used for research. Now things are not like they used to be. Back when the apocalypse just began, they wanted to conduct research but had no targets, no direction. Survivors were often kept alive, but now that they’ve found some solutions, the chances of survival are very low."

Gu Hang sighed, regretting that they couldn’t find the Qin Group sooner. If they had, they might have saved more survivors. Unfortunately, everything was too late.

Lin Fan patted Gu Hang’s shoulder and said, "Hang Ge, we did our best. At least now, there are many people alive here. Everything needs to move slowly. The progress so far is very good. Now there’s just one Mutant Organization left. I’m sure if we keep searching, we’ll find it."

He thought of Zhong Hong, who was already investigating the situation, hoping for good results.

"I understand, everything is already very good."

Gu Hang nodded, not saying much more. Indeed, things were very good. Looking at the Sunshine Shelter now, it’s truly full of life, the crystallization of efforts since the beginning of the apocalypse.

...

A few days later.

At the entrance of the Qin Group.

A figure stood silently, staring at the open passage, lost in thought for a long time.

When he, staying at the gathering place, received a message from Professor Jin, his brother, there was an initial sense of urgency, but soon, he suppressed that feeling.

The person mentioned in his brother’s message was Lin Fan.

He knew just how terrifying Lin Fan was.

So he didn’t rush to go immediately.

Now, having hurriedly arrived, he understood that his brother was definitely finished. Falling into Lin Fan’s hands, there was no way he could have survived.

Reaching inside the base.

The surrounding walls were severely damaged, indicating that a battle had occurred; otherwise, it wouldn’t be in such a state.

Professor Jin’s brother, with a cold expression, walked slowly down the corridor. He knew where his brother hid things, as he had told him long ago.

Soon.

He stopped in front of a door, which was his brother’s bedroom. After entering the password, with a creak, the door opened and he walked straight inside. The things in his brother’s room were neatly arranged, just covered with dust, indicating it had been unoccupied for some time.

He approached a painting, removed it, revealing a safe on the wall. After entering a password, the safe opened to reveal a box lying silently inside.

This was what his brother had mentioned.

When he opened the box, a vial of potion lay inside.

There was also a voice recorder.

The man activated the recorder, and Professor Jin’s voice came over.

"Brother, if you are listening to this recording, it means the Qin Group has already fallen. Be cautious of Lin Fan from the Sunshine Shelter. He is, to date, the most unimaginably evolved human I’ve seen. Enough of that. You see the potion inside. You must preserve it well; this is something I’ve kept for you, a possession not even Qin Ling got.

During my research on zombies, I discovered the ultimate secret of Evolutionary Zombies, Awakeners, and Mutants. Taking this will allow your genes to evolve in the optimal direction without needing external absorption..."

Upon discovering such a valuable thing, Professor Jin certainly considered using it himself, but he was under Qin Ling’s control. If his body changed, Qin Ling would immediately notice it and possibly consume him as food.

So he could only hide the potion.

Leaving it for his last remaining kin in the apocalypse, his brother.

Clenching his fist, the man listening to the recording swore, "Brother, I will avenge you."

Without hesitation, he injected the potion. With a clatter, the empty vial rolled on the ground, while he stood there motionless, eyes wide open with strange threads flowing in them.

"Ah..."

He let out a scream, collapsing onto the bed, a low growl escaping his throat, as both hands clutched the bed sheets tightly, as if there was something foreign trying to come out from within him.

Opening his mouth, a large amount of viscous black blood splattered over the bed sheets.

"My body feels like it’s burning."

He screamed, the intense pain tormenting his body.

But he trusted his brother wouldn’t harm him. Enduring the pain, he carefully felt the changes in his body, knowing it was the potion’s effect transforming his body structure.
