Ling Mo didn't understand medicine or biology, so his research method was very simple and crude - dissection!

  To avoid making this temporary foothold too dirty, he manipulated Ye Lian to drag the mutated zombie into a private room in the teahouse, and then Xiana took action, using a long knife to cut a deep gash on his body.

  Xiana may not be controlled by Ling Mo at this moment, but after all, she is Ling Mo's "corpse puppet". Simple commands will still be heard. Moreover, she has recovered some of her sanity and can understand some of Ling Mo's words. Something as simple as disemboweling someone, she can naturally do with ease.

  At this time, Xiana's expression as a zombie was revealed. Her face was very calm and there were no emotional fluctuations, as if the thing that had been cut open was not a human body at all.

  Even when the thick smell of blood dissipated, a hint of blood light still flickered in her eyes.

  Fortunately, her eating habits and those of the variant zombies were the same, so she didn't have much interest in this fresh blood and internal organs, it was purely an instinctual reaction.

  But after Xiana finished, she looked at Ling Mo with some confusion, obviously not understanding what he wanted to do. Although there were questions in her mind, with Xiana's current muddled thinking, she couldn't organize these questions into sentences, let alone ask them out loud. Nevertheless, she still stood quietly by his side, closely watching Ling Mo's every move.

  This dirty work Ling Mo couldn't bear to let Ye Lian do, so he took out a short knife and opened the long mouth a bit. In order to see clearly, he also deliberately took out a flashlight. Generally, this kind of lighting tool that would attract zombies, he rarely used it, but fortunately, all the zombies around were dead, and there was a thick curtain as cover, so using it temporarily wouldn't be a problem.

  Under the illumination of the flashlight, the situation inside the gap was clearly visible to Ling Mo. Although he couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea, what it brought him more was surprise.

  Ling Mo wasn't a medical student, and he had never dissected a living body before. But with the arrival of the doomsday, he saw too many corpses, most of which were disembowelled, their internal organs scattered all over the place.

  So he was very clear that the normal color of internal organs would never be like this variant zombie, even for those ordinary zombies, such a situation would not occur. The spread speed of the virus is indeed astonishing!

  At the place where the knife was pried open, apart from the gushing blood, one or two internal organs could be faintly seen. On the surface of these organs, a network of red streaks appeared, like a viral gel, similar to congealed blood. Not only that, but on some of the thicker blood vessels, this "network" could also be seen. Although it was not dense, when staring silently at the observation, these networks continued to emerge.

  No wonder... The source of the powerful strength of the mutated zombies is probably from this... These viruses are indeed transforming the bodies of the zombies. Ordinary zombies may also have this situation, but because they absorb too little virus, it's not obvious, and this mutated zombie just swallowed so many brains with lesions, and the absorbed virus is rapidly spreading in his body right now.

  Although the zombie had no pain, it still had instincts. At this moment, he was already awake. But Ye Lian and Xiang Na simultaneously lifted their feet, each stepping on one of his hands, making him unable to move. However, his body was still desperately twisting and struggling, and with the gushing blood, Ling Mo could no longer see anything.

  "Heh heh, don't worry, you'll be free soon."

  Ling Mo charged at the crazy zombie with a smile, then lightly slashed his throat with a short knife...

  The trachea was severed, and the variant zombie's originally almost inaudible long breathing quickly turned into a sound like a bellows. He futilely spat out his last breath, but his face had already turned iron blue.

  As the variant zombie finally stopped moving, Ling Mo also turned his body over. However, he knew that relying on himself was no way to pry open this zombie's skull, so he had Xiang Nan take action.

  To be honest, the fresh human brain was something that Ling Mo didn't want to look at at all, but when this lump of human brain was dug out, he still couldn't help but take a glance, and immediately revealed a surprised expression.

  In the brain of this newly born mutant zombie, no viral gel had appeared yet, but its cerebral surface was covered with the same red vascular network that had just been seen on the internal organs and blood vessels.

  It's likely that with a bit more time, these threads will gradually come together and coagulate in his mind into a pathological condition, or rather, a viral gel.

  Staring blankly at that lump of brain for a while, Ling Mo suddenly slapped his thigh: "I get it!"

  The brains of ordinary zombies are also filled with these blood vessels, but because the amount of virus is too small and the purity is too low, they cannot be seen by the naked eye. The newly born mutant zombie absorbed a large amount of virus, and this blood vessel appeared as a result. At this time, he was most affected by the virus, and originally, his simple desire for human flesh would also increase, that is, his desire for the virus. In order to absorb more viruses, it is natural to kill zombies, and further, to kill mutant zombies.

  Further up, it's the real variant zombies. Their brains have already developed viral gelatinization. By this time, the virus's invasion of the brain has concentrated on one point, so the other areas that were originally locked down are slowly released.

  The virus gel between them will be mutually absorbed, and the more pure the virus gel is, the smaller its volume. Maybe when it reaches a certain level, it will become an extremely small piece, and at that time, the zombie who owns it may regain his sanity!

  Xiana's specialty lay in the fact that she originally had a very small amount of virus in her body, and before it had fully spread to her brain, she had continuously ingested two blocks of viral gel, later swallowing one with an extremely pure viral content.

  In that case, it is estimated that she had already formed lesions in her brain before her brain was completely invaded, so the impact on her thinking was the lightest!

  Ling Mo didn't know if his thoughts were correct or not, but judging from the current situation of this mutated zombie, this was probably the closest answer!

  It turns out that I was right about my own direction!

  For Ling Mo at this moment, there was nothing more exciting than this discovery. He wasn't a medical expert... This inference may have many errors, but from the results, it's very likely to be achieved.

  It has been proven that this hope does exist and with a high probability. The next thing to do is to turn this speculation into reality as soon as possible!

  It wasn't until ten minutes or so had passed that Ling Mo finally realized something was off. No matter how you looked at it, a living person standing in front of such a disgusting corpse with a smile on their face and lost in thought was just a bit strange...

  "Throw it into the river... Ugh, I'll have to find some new clothes tomorrow. This bloody smell, unless a zombie's nose is rotten, they'll definitely be able to sniff it out!"

  "You... why are you smiling?" Xiana asked in confusion as she helped lift the corpse.

  It wasn't easy, and after being silent for half a day, he finally managed to squeeze out a complete sentence. Ling Mo gave her an eerie wink and said, "Because I just remembered something else. The feel of your hand is indeed not bad, it's just a bit small."
