Chapter 26: Zombie Mutation

  Lin Yixuan suddenly accelerated, the vector operation force field was activated instantly, and the reaction force instantly stopped the zombie. Lin Yixuan hurriedly kicked a spinning kick, directly kicking the zombie flying out.

  While the zombie was still in mid-air, Lin Yixuan took out his silver gun and fired two shots at the zombie. However, Lin Yixuan's marksmanship was not very good, and what was originally aimed at the head ended up hitting the zombie's body instead. Although the powerful bullets instantly penetrated the zombie's body, Lin Yixuan knew this was useless - only a shot to the zombie's head or a broken spine could kill it.

  As expected, after falling to the ground, the zombie let out a scream and immediately got back up, rushing towards Lin Yixuan at an astonishing speed.

  Lin Yixuan didn't dodge, and at the moment the zombie reached him, vector operation was activated, and the zombie suddenly froze in place. Lin Yixuan raised his gun and directly pointed it at the zombie's head.

  "Bang......"

  A single shot rang out, the bullet instantly piercing the zombie's head, the zombie's head bursting open like a watermelon, then falling to the ground powerlessly.

  "What is this thing?" Raine frowned, seemingly disgusted by the undead creature.

  "Zombie." Lin Yixuan slowly replied after quickly organizing his thoughts in his mind.

  "What's a zombie?" At this time, Alice heard the movement and walked over, hearing Lin Yixuan's laughter and couldn't help but ask.

  "The undead are a result of the T-virus, which causes reanimation. Even after death, the body can still survive under the influence of the T-virus, with fingernails and hair continuing to grow, and new cells being produced. Additionally, there is still a small electric current flowing through the brain, which takes at least several months to disappear. The impact of the T-virus allows cells and electricity to continue growing, in short, the T-virus reshapes the body, allowing the deceased to move." Lin Yixuan explained to Alice while recalling scenes from the movie.

  "Is that zombie going to come back to life?" Alice said with a frown, looking at the zombie whose head was blown up by Lin Yixuan.

  "It's not that simple, the zombie itself may have a little memory, but it has no intelligence, only driven by the most basic neural impulses and basic needs." Lin Yixuan explained slowly, but in fact, Lin Yixuan had some doubts in his heart. The zombie just now was much more powerful than he knew, and its movements were very agile, which made Lin Yixuan have a bad premonition.

  "What are the basic requirements?" Alice's crystal-like eyes stared at Lin Yixuan, obviously wanting to know more answers.

  "Satisfy their hunger, and the undead will always be in a state of starvation, while only the flesh and blood of living people can satisfy their hunger." Lin Yixuan looked straight at Alice, saying slowly.

  "What exactly are you? How did you know all this?" Alice asked, looking at Lin Yixuan with a puzzled expression after a while.

  Lin Yixuan smiled faintly, he had already known that he would be asked this way. When he mentioned the zombie just now, he had already thought of a countermeasure.

  "I'm a secret agent, my mission is to infiltrate this research institute and gather evidence of Umbrella Corporation's biological weapons research." Lin Yixuan had carefully considered revealing his identity as a secret agent, because it would bring him many benefits. Firstly, he could use secrecy to avoid talking about things he didn't want to discuss, and he could also explain some familiar plotlines using the situation of being a secret agent. For example, he knew about the T-virus and zombies, and with this identity, he could easily explain it away.

  So this agent identity is very beneficial to him, and next they will face the terrible zombie crowd, and don't worry about the special forces team attacking him.

  As expected, after Lin Yixuan said he was a special agent, both women chose to believe him, but the way they looked at Lin Yixuan was somewhat unusual.

  Dong dong...

  Another loud crash of iron hitting the ground, Lin Yixuan turned his head to look, and saw another zombie dragging a steel pipe towards him. This zombie was different from the previous one. The previous zombie looked pale but not terrifying, while this zombie in front of him was very frightening. It was a male zombie, with flesh on its face seemingly gnawed away, revealing the grayish-white skull underneath. The eyeball of its right eye had been gouged out and hung directly from its face, looking extremely disgusting.

  Alice took a step back towards Lin Yixuan after seeing the zombie, her body half hidden behind his.

  And Rainer, after seeing the zombie, directly raised his gun and aimed at it, while lowering his voice to say: "The entire research institute's people won't all become like this, will they?"

  "I'm afraid that's what happened. Look at this person, he was probably attacked by zombies before his death and then infected, which is why he became a zombie." Lin Yixuan said lightly.

  "Can zombies be infected too?" Alice exclaimed from behind Lin Yixuan.

  "Yes, the T-virus has a very strong infectious ability. As long as you are caught or bitten by a zombie, even if it's just a small wound, you may be infected and slowly become like them. So when dealing with zombies, you must be careful not to get attacked." Lin Yixuan said seriously, mainly speaking for Alice's benefit. After all, his mission was to protect Alice. If Alice accidentally got bitten or caught by a zombie, he would have no place to cry. He didn't believe that in the training space, Alice still had the protagonist halo.

  "Don't worry." Lain sneered and raised his gun, intending to shoot the zombie, but Lin Yixuan stopped him: "Only hitting the zombie's head or breaking its spine can kill it. Also, don't waste bullets. There are at least 500 zombies in this institute. Every bullet we save increases our chances of survival."

  "Roar......"

  The zombie suddenly let out a loud roar when it was about twenty meters away from them, and then sprinted towards them at an extremely fast speed.

  Lin Yixuan's eyes narrowed, and indeed the zombie had mutated. The original zombies couldn't have such speed. Just as Lin Yixuan was about to raise his silver gun, he heard two consecutive gunshots by his ear, and then saw that the zombie's head had exploded with two blood holes, collapsing weakly to the ground.

  Lin Yixuan looked at Lain and indeed he had received professional training, his marksmanship was different.

  As the sound of gunfire from Rains echoed, the special forces members who entered the control room and J.D. and Lin were all drawn over, Lin Yixuan saw that the special forces members seemed to be looking at him, apparently his words had taken effect.

  "What's going on?" Matthew asked with a frown as soon as he came over.

  Happy New Year! Wishing everyone a happy new year!!
