Chapter 1068: Evolution?

As the words fell, the researcher wasn't afraid that his commanding of the zombies' actions would provoke Lin An's attack.

All I saw was him directly summoning several zombies in silver uniforms to appear before him.

Spin!

Crouch!

Jump!

With each command issued, the summoned zombies nimbly performed the actions.

Watching the researcher, who seemed to be demonstrating his control over zombies, Xiao Mo Ling frowned.

What do you want to demonstrate? That you can control zombies?

Having said that, Xiao Mo Ling directly raised her hand and forcibly took control of the summoned zombies:

I can also control them.

So, I'm also a savior, huh?

Without changing expression, Lin An silently watched the researcher's 'performance' as well. He could also control zombies, but only dead ones.

That's nothing special.

From his observation, it was naturally clear that the researcher's zombies belonged to a special mutant. But if that were called humanity's hope, it would be too ridiculous.

Without paying any heed to Lin An's doubt, the researcher's zombie gave a mysterious smile.

I know, controlling zombies and saving humanity seem unrelated.

But the other thing I'm about to say, you'll understand.

After organizing its words, it spoke arrogantly a moment later:

Just as I mentioned before, the clones' biggest problem is lacking memory. They can only acquire knowledge through postnatal learning to become real humans.

This seems like a defect, but it's actually a great loophole! A miracle!!

Looking up at Lin An, the researcher's eyes showed immense pride.

You should know what the biggest difference between zombies and humans is, right?!

It's memory! It's humanity! Actually, if a zombie could speak and not harm humans, it would actually be another kind of Awakened One!

Just like the little girl beside you, she actually isn't considered human either, right?

What do you want to say?

His gaze sank; Lin An faintly seemed to have guessed what the researcher's zombie had discovered.

As the words fell, the researcher's zombie didn't keep secrets, just grinning.

It's still the same theory. Humans turn into zombies because they were implanted with a meme long ago. When the virus erupts, all human consciousness and memory are damaged, turning into bloodthirsty monsters.

The human brain is like a disk; the virus directly infects the whole disk! So, trying to repair the 'disk' to turn zombies back into humans is impossible!

Because the human brain is only that big, the 'disk space' is only that big! A brain full of viral junk—how could it possibly return to its original state?!

But... what if we change our perspective? What if we change our way of thinking?!

Clones have no memory! They have no consciousness! Even if part of their brain is damaged by the virus, it doesn't matter!

Just like a phone's storage space, in a new phone, a few pieces of software infected and broken, yet there remains a large amount of unused storage.

In a clone's brain, there simply aren't any memory files that could be damaged!

Panting, perhaps because after discovering this, no one had ever been able to share this great finding with him. At this moment, the researcher, like a madman, shouted loudly:

So!

So I can completely control these clone zombies' learning! They can return to being human!

They aren't afraid of the virus! They have strong physiques! They are the new generation of humans!

They aren't Red Tower Zombies! They are Adam and Eve who walked out of the Garden of Eden!!

I!!

I am the Heavenly Father! I am the savior who saves humanity!

His gaze was shocked; even Zhang Tie instantly understood the meaning of the researcher's zombie at that moment.

Like a bolt of lightning striking down, it was an epiphany.

A few seconds later, Lin An seemed to realize something, and suddenly looked toward the surrounding Red Tower Zombies.

Then why are you controlling zombies to attack humans?!

Not...

"Are you planning to use these zombies to replace humans?!"

Reacting extremely quickly, Lin An instantly thought of the researcher's zombie's deeper plan.

As the words fell, the researcher's zombie, panting, nodded heavily.

Exactly!

I want to save the world, so I must eradicate old humanity.

Think about it! What is the greatest threat of the apocalypse? Zombies! Original humans! With humans come zombies; with zombies come mutants; even memes and special events are caused by original humans!

Old humans carry too many virus memes; each person is like a time bomb that could blow everyone to pieces.

Only by eliminating all old humans can we wipe out all disasters!

When educating the new humans, I won't tell them any legendary tales or fantastical fantasies. That way, they won't become carriers for meme spread.

Moreover, zombies won't actively attack the new humans. I can completely use this loophole to gradually eliminate all zombies, ending this apocalypse!

Fanatically, he looked at Lin An:

So, join me!

You're strong; your genes will definitely produce stronger new humans! Using you as a template, I believe we'll soon obtain a large batch of Third Rank New Humans!

Don't worry about old humans; they've already been eliminated! Just like Neanderthals from a hundred thousand years ago, weren't they replaced by Homo sapiens?

Survival of the fittest! This is the essence of life's evolution!

Join us, we are the true hope! Let us save this world together!

This is a glorious evolution! The future of our new humanity will be infinitely bright!

The entire venue fell dead silent.

Under the incitement of the researcher zombie, Xiong Hanzi and Mo Ling suddenly felt a shock.

Red Tower Zombie isn't a zombie... Let the new humanity replace the old humanity?

Although the zombie's plan sounds so crazy and even absurd, upon serious thought, it indeed holds great feasibility.

Each Red Tower Zombie is equivalent to an initial version of Mo Ling, and combined with the trait of directly absorbing spiritual energy to strengthen power. This means we can cultivate a large number of Third Ranks in a short time. Developing at this speed, it won't be long before we can sweep across the Apocalypse and create a new world.

Afterwards, we only need to let the new humanity relearn, to "grow" into true humans.

Ten minutes later, inside the control room.

In the confined space, Lin An, Zhang Tie, Mo Ling—the three sat silently in the sealed control room, speechless.

Lin Dui, I suddenly feel... that guy's words make a lot of sense.

Confused, at a loss.

Xiong Hanzi looked at Lin An, who didn't know what he was thinking, and for a moment only felt his mind was a bit confused.

He even didn't know whether he should kill this crazy zombie.

Lin An, should we listen to him?

Sitting beside Lin An, Little Mo Ling's eyes also showed some confusion. She didn't care about new or old humanity, after all, in many people's eyes, she wasn't really considered human.

Or rather, the rescue team hardly had any normal humans left.

At this moment, they seemed to stand at the crossroads of humanity's fate.

In Lin An's mind, two fates lay before him.

Destruction? Or rebirth?
