Chapter Seventy-Four: Metaphor

  Liu Ting stood beside Wu Xiao Tian by the window, and the two quietly listened to the sound of rain outside. As if the sound of the rain could ease their own pressure, neither Wu Xiao Tian nor Liu Ting spoke a word.

  At this time, Du Ziteng's footsteps broke the silence. He said to Wu Xiaotian: "Now that you've woken up, I'll head over there. After all, only Li Tian and four others can be trusted!"

  Turning his head to look at Du Ziteng's bored expression, Wu Xiaotian asked: "Now in the south, how many families have you saved?"

  "I went to three houses, but only one person is still alive. The others were either turned into zombies or eaten by them!"

  Although Du Ziteng said this calmly, anyone could see the sadness on his face.

  "Haha, you're quite fast! I've just arrived at Duan Yu's place!"

  Wu Xiaotian successfully shifted the topic, and Du Ziteng also put down his sadness, proudly saying: "Don't you know who your brother is? I've been maintaining my true form as the White Tiger to make way for the waste truck!"

  "So you're saying you've saved many people?"

  "Yes, up till now, Brother has already saved 13 survivors!"

  After hearing Du Ziteng's answer, I couldn't help but admire him for saving so many people in such a short time. However, Wu Xiaotian was not discouraged because Du Ziteng had an unfair advantage with his White Tiger True Body and Li Tianyan's skilled driving techniques, making it hard for them to lose even if they wanted to!

  "Alright, I won't say anymore, I'm going over there!"

  Wu Xiaotian looked out of the window and saw that it was still raining heavily. He couldn't help but say to Du Ziteng, "Why don't we wait until the rain stops before going over?"

  "Whatever, I'm also bored here, might as well go earlier. Besides, this rain can't stop me!"

  "Alright, I'll stop you too, just be careful yourself."

  Du Ziteng finished speaking and turned to leave, Liu Ting hurriedly said to his back: "Brother Ziteng, if Sister Shen and the others ask about me, just tell them I'm fine, so they don't have to worry about me!"

  "Alright then, I'm off!"

  After Du Ziteng finished speaking, he didn't drag on anymore. After walking out of the unit building, he directly transformed into a majestic white tiger with a white forehead and a hanging eyebrow. He looked back at Wu Xiaotian and Liu Ting by the window and let out a tiger's roar before his figure disappeared in the midst of the stormy rain.

  Watching Du Ziteng's back disappear in the distance, Wu Xiaotian said silently in his heart: "It seems I also need to speed up the rescue!"

  However, the physical weakness made Wu Xiaotian give up on the idea of going out to rescue now. Even if Wu Xiaotian wanted to set off now, Liu Ting and Duan Yue would not agree, after all, he had just woken up not long ago.

  "Has Ziteng left?"

  Duan Yue's voice came from the doorway of the room. Before Wu Xiaotian could open his mouth, Liu Ting had already helped him answer.

  "It's still the same, so impulsive! With a helpless expression on his face, Duan Yue continued to say: "Forget it, don't bother with him, anyway, as an Evolver, he won't be in too much danger."

  Wu Xiaotian also shook his head helplessly. Although Yue and Du Ziteng were brothers, their personalities were vastly different!

  "Although the audience has decreased by one, I'll continue to share my personal speculation." Duan Yue organized his thoughts and continued: "Those variant zombies will eventually evolve into intelligent beings, but their current level of intelligence varies greatly. Some have already learned to think like humans, while others can only think simply like animals! As for the ordinary zombies, they rely solely on instinct to act and hunt."

  "Animal?"

  "For animals, those variant zombies can be compared to animals. The Terminator is like a gorilla, but it's an insult to call it a gorilla, it should be called "King Kong" because it already has independent thinking ability and also has abnormal abilities. W1 can be compared to a cheetah, its current combat method is like a cheetah, with extreme speed and sharp claws, but it is also fragile, so I use the cheetah to describe it. And T1? At this stage, although not wise, it will also think simply, I can compare it to a bear because of its strength."

  "At this point, Yue paused for a moment before continuing: 'But personally, I think they're not the most dangerous threat to Evolvers!'"

  Liu Ting couldn't help but interrupt: "What's a zombie?"

  Wu Xiaotian and Duan Yue almost said in unison: "H1!"

  The two of them exchanged a glance, both corners of their mouths curving upwards, and then in unison said: "You say!"

  On the other hand, Liu Ting was eager to know what had happened to H1, and both Wu Xiaotian and Duan Yue said it was the most dangerous.

  "Wu said."

  After hearing Liu Ting's decision, Wu Xiaotian also became straightforward and said to the two of them after clearing his throat: "Cough cough, if we use Duan Yue's animal analogy, then H1 can be compared to a wolf! Although wolves don't have the speed of cheetahs, the strength of bears, the intelligence of gorillas, the ferocity of tigers, or the majestic demeanor of lions, they are still feared by hunters whether in the forest or on the grasslands. It's not that one lone wolf is scary, what's scary is a pack of wolves!"

  After finishing the metaphor, Wu Xiaotian didn't say anything else and turned to look at Duan Yue. Duan Yue also spoke bluntly: "Right. Lone wolves are not scary, nor is a single H1 scary. What's scary is when they unite. When Evolvers encounter a large number of H1s, they will be overwhelmed!"

  Liu Ting, who heard this, raised another question: "A large number of H1? But there shouldn't be that many H1!"

  Taking over the question, Duan Yue answered Liu Ting's doubts: "Although the probability of variant zombies appearing in the zombie is not high, the frequency of H1 appearance is the highest, and they are also easy to form a 'wolf pack', as long as one higher-level H1 appears!"

  Wu Xiaotian nodded thoughtfully, while Liu Ting seemed like a curious baby and asked another question.

  "You all say H1 is the most dangerous, what about other mutant zombies?"

  "I can't answer you this question because I haven't fought with them after all. You'd better ask your husband to answer you!"

  Duan Yue's words made Liu Ting's face flush, and Wu Xiao Tian also took over the question, saying to Liu Ting: "Although this H1 group is the most dangerous, fighting against other mutant zombies is also extremely dangerous. Before I met you, every battle was a narrow escape from death, and fighting that Terminator was even more desperate, if Du Zi Teng hadn't happened to be nearby at the time, you wouldn't see me now! So it's not that they're not dangerous, it's just using animals to describe them. If we also use animals to describe survivors, then survivors are - all kinds of small animals!"
