The system tempted again with a bewitching tone.
"No thanks, just give me a book on basic swordsmanship."
Mo Yin shook his head. The resource points he could obtain were limited. As for martial arts, did he still have to fight zombies in close combat? If he encountered a head splitter, he would be like a meat bun hitting a dog, and he would never come back.
As for sniping, it can be completely left to M|99. This basic skill is definitely not as good as that of their specialized tactical humanoids.
At worst, I can learn shooting skills from tactical dolls, but no one knows how to use a sword.
"Transaction application accepted, deducting one thousand resource points."
Then a large amount of memories flooded into Moyin's mind, and at the same time a human anatomy diagram also appeared in his mind.
These memories include how to maintain the sharpness of the blade and the effects it can have when cutting various parts of the human body.
And this basic swordsmanship is indeed basic, without any fancy moves. It just tells him how to use various types of knives and familiarize himself with the knife's killing points.
In an instant, Moyin felt that he had gained power.
With his enhanced strength and speed, as long as he avoided the head and destroyed the torso, he might still be able to kill the Head Splitter alone.
"You've been reinforced, hurry up."
The system added with a malicious tone.
"System, if I kill a zombie whose arm has transformed into a crab claw, or a zombie with attackable bone spurs on its chest, will I be rewarded?"
Moyin ignored the system's bad taste and asked calmly.
"Of course, as the danger level increases, these mutant zombies will be rewarded. The ones you mentioned can be classified as primary mutant zombies. Their vital points have not been transferred, so you will only get 10,000 resource points if you kill them."
"The Head Splitter is a mid-level mutant zombie. Its weakness has been moved from its head. The reward is 100,000 resource points."
"You haven't collected the remaining information, so I can't answer your questions. Of course, if you are willing to spend 10,000 resource points to buy the information, I can also tell you the information about the more advanced mutant zombies."
The system's voice was much more reliable this time, and it began to explain science seriously.
"No thanks, I'll find out slowly by myself."
Moyin rejected the system's proposal without hesitation. If the intermediate mutant body was the key to transfer, it was estimated that the materials of the higher level body would be fast healing or significant improvement in various attributes.
With his current firepower, there is no need to provoke the opponent, so he does not need to spend this part of the resource points.
Chapter 65 Analysis of Genius
On the other hand, he was worried that the advanced mutants might have a certain immunity or damage reduction to bullets.
The inner strength and magic power provided by the system, as well as the systems such as the summoning of ship girls or heroic spirits that will be opened up by upgrading the system in the future, seem to indicate that this kind of ship gun-level attack or the attack of the heroic spirit's treasure may be needed when facing high-level mutants.
However, the resource points needed are in the tens of millions. Without a mine that can continuously produce resource points, it is estimated that you will never be able to save enough resources.
So now exchanging for low-level internal skills, honing oneself in battle, and stimulating one's potential is also a feasible path.
"Brother Yin, I have summarized some of the general structures of zombie mutations. Do you want to listen to them?"
Bai Lingyu asked nervously, she had to show her value in order to stay in this team.
"tell me the story."
Moyin then opened his eyes, only to find that it was already darker than dusk. It seemed that it would take some time for him to digest the knowledge that was pouring into his brain.
However, it is good enough that you don’t have to memorize the sword manual. It would be a bit greedy to expect to understand it in an instant.
"First of all, we know that ordinary zombies need to eat some of their own kind to transform. I personally think that fifty to two hundred ordinary zombies devouring each other can produce one transformed zombie."
“How did you come up with this range of numbers?”
Moyin asked curiously.
"The eating speed of zombies is also limited. Here, even if we ignore the fact that they keep eating and only eat brains... because I think the viruses of ordinary zombies are concentrated in the brains. Eating 200 zombie heads a day is close to the limit."
"As for the smallest range, it's because there were two mutant zombies in this school in the past two days. It's impossible to say that they were the only two zombies that kept eating. In other words, the zombies that are still alive at this stage should have eaten a certain amount of their companions. They are just one step away from mutating into their own special forms."
"I have done some calculations and I think there is some data to support the speculation, which can be regarded as a fait accompli at this stage."
Bai Lingyu explained confidently.
"go on."
Moyin was a little surprised. He was not very good at data analysis. It would be better to say that there was no mention of data records in Wang Yue's notebook. This was entirely calculated by Bai Lingyu himself. It must be said that he was worthy of being a genius with an IQ of 168.
"Considering that the Fourth Middle School has a large population density, this continuous and rapid devouring has led to the emergence of alienated zombies. If the zombies were in the outside world, even if they were hungry and bit their companions, they would not have enough food to alienate themselves."
"So in the early stages, we can still collect supplies relatively safely without having to worry about a mutant zombie suddenly appearing in a convenience store or somewhere else."
Bai Lingyu said with a smile.
"Sister Yu, why didn't the zombies we met on the road devour each other?"
Leng Xiaoxue, who was sitting on HK416's lap, asked curiously.
"Well, my personal opinion is that after being attacked by their companions, zombies will also go into a violent state and attack other zombies. However, this is just my current guess. I cannot confirm whether there are other triggering factors. I need to observe the zombies before I can draw a conclusion."
"I still need to observe the zombie ecology more in this regard, but I don't think this is the point."
Bai Lingyu answered.
"That's not the point? Did you find anything else?"
Mo Yin asked.
"The evolutionary structure of zombies. From what the owner of the notebook said, we can see that after the fast female zombie ate two mutant zombies, her head suddenly split into a predatory organ. So its vital point must not be in the head. That would be too dangerous."
"I think it should be considered that after it ate two mutant zombies, it achieved a new level of evolution."
Moyin was shocked. This was exactly the information he had established with the system before. Because he didn't tell anyone about the resource points, Bai Lingyu was able to analyze this point with just some notes... Maybe she could bring him some surprises.
"It can be seen that she was an ordinary mutant zombie. After receiving a virus three times stronger than her own, she evolved into a special mutant zombie."
"This proves that as long as the virus continues to accumulate, the previously mentioned crab zombies and centipede zombies may also have a higher level of mutation. So how will they mutate? Will they also shift their vital parts? Or will the number of bone spurs on the centipede zombies increase, with dozens of bone spurs appearing?"
After hearing Bai Lingyu's analysis, Moyin suddenly felt a cold sweat soaking his back.
If there are dozens of bone spurs, then this mutated centipede zombie must be killed from a distance. Once approached, it can be said that no one can resist it and you will be killed in an instant.
From this perspective, it was a good thing that I encountered a Head Splitter...
"We must figure out the future evolutionary direction of these alienated zombies, but this is also a very dangerous thing."
Bai Lingyu sighed.
"There's even worse news. According to my previous calculations, the total amount of virus in the bodies of all the remaining zombies should be about twice as much as that of this newly evolved zombie."
"But from the last page, it seems that she ate all the zombies and didn't evolve to a new level. But she still keeps eating, and even started eating inorganic matter after eating the zombies. This may mean that she can evolve again."
"I suggest that after you, Brother Yin, have collected the food in the granary, we immediately head to No. 99 Middle School and have Miss M| kill this mutant zombie remotely. Otherwise, an extremely terrifying zombie may appear throughout the city."
Bai Lingyu said seriously and solemnly.
"Don't worry about that. This zombie attacked us when I went to school. I cut off its legs, and 416 killed it with an armor-piercing grenade."
Mo Yin replied with a smile.
"The same situation may occur in every school and other places with high concentrations of zombies. We should kill them before they evolve to a higher level."
"Otherwise, just killing this one won't solve the fundamental problem. Unless we completely abandon the city and move to a sparsely populated mountain, we may still encounter a powerful zombie that we can't deal with one day."
Bai Lingyu's expression did not relax but remained tense. Moyin also realized the seriousness of the problem.
Chapter 66: Bai Lingyu's Advice
"Damn, are zombies evolving so quickly? Are we humans really hopeless?"
Moyin was speechless. He had thought that he would soon be able to lead the tactical dolls to improve their lives.
It turned out that if he didn't hunt down the mutated zombies in various areas as soon as possible, he might inexplicably fall into a crisis of total annihilation.
It would be better to say that if it weren't for Bai Lingyu's analysis, he might not even be able to notice this. Although he originally intended to hunt the mutated zombies, it was only for the resource points provided by the system. But now he must quickly hunt down all the mutated zombies.
"Don't worry too much, Brother Yin. Our team has the heavy firepower advantage of Miss M|99 and Miss AA12's shotgun. It shouldn't be difficult to deal with the mutant zombies."
Bai Lingyu asked doubtfully.
"That Head Splitter was very fast, and the 416 and MDR bullets were not able to cause a fatal attack on it. I was lucky enough to chop off its legs and deprive it of its ability to move, so I was lucky enough to kill it."
"If there had been a slight mistake in any link, I'm afraid we would have died there."
"If the one who transformed into an intermediate body was that centipede zombie, and if his vital point was not in the brain, I would be dead for sure. Even with the M|99 sniper, I might not be able to kill him with one shot if I don't know the vital point."
"If they have a sense of danger, they will probably dodge or escape. The speed of the Head Splitter is almost the same as my running at full speed. It is not easy to kill it with one strike. Therefore, hunting mutant zombies is a very dangerous thing."
Moyin sighed.
"Hmm... It's really hard to deal with it being so fast and being able to ignore ordinary injuries..."
Bai Lingyu fell into deep thought and raised his head after a while.
"Brother Yin, I have three suggestions. One is to use your spatial ability to collect a large amount of supplies. Then we can go into the mountains and survive as long as we can. But if animals are also infected with the virus and mutate, they may be more difficult to deal with than human mutant zombies."
"The other option is for us to look for the military... and use their heavy firepower to wipe out these mutant zombies."
"My armed forces are not ones that can be reasonably explained, so I cannot have any contact with the military, at least not until my strength makes them wary."
Moyin shook his head. The only weapon he had was the M99. Weapons like the HK416 were all foreign weapons. He might be suspected of being a biological and chemical attack unit and be killed by the military directly. So he would definitely not go to the military shelter.
"Ah, that doesn't matter. Even if we go, they may not believe my inference as a minor. It is unlikely that they will send heavy firepower to wipe out the enemy."
Bai Lingyu shrugged and didn't care much.
"So what's the third suggestion?"
"We will try to gather a group of survivors. When we have enough people, we will go to the train station to see if we can get a train. We will prepare the materials to survive on it and follow the railway line to see if we can go to some countries with fewer people, such as Canada or Australia, or Russia."
"This will at least ensure that we are safe on the railway. I don't think any zombies can stop the impact of the train."
"With a lower population density, it will be difficult for zombies to obtain enough viruses to evolve into mutant zombies. We will be safer there, but... this is just my guess."
"In fact, we shouldn't worry too much. The records in this notebook at least prove that zombies within 3,000 people are not enough to produce higher-level alienated zombies."
"Therefore, in the short term, there shouldn't be any higher-level mutant zombies appearing."
Bai Lingyu said with a smile.
"Huh, then why are you saying it now? Are you trying to scare people? Scary?"
