When Dr. Xie was blown to near-death, he ate half a thalamus. Many of our Yanluo Army brothers have taken them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the pale gold thalamus is an upgraded version of the grayish one, and its healing effect has been enhanced to limb regeneration, that makes sense—but whether it can cure neurological issues like Fu Wei’s is another question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can answer that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Yanshan smiled: “If it can achieve limb regeneration, resolving Weijun’s condition won’t be a problem. Totipotent stem cells can fully repair nerves—this is a true divine medicine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Liu Tianji secretly felt relieved for Fu Wei. Though he’d become Fu Wei’s experimental “mouse,” this mouse had genuinely benefited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He figured that with his abilities and status in the Yanluo Army, even if he were rewarded for his contributions, he’d hardly get a pale gold thalamus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But we don’t even know where this divine medicine comes from!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su shook his hand slightly, feeling a touch of melancholy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t a scientist—he had no interest in going through the whole cycle of hypothesis, verification, hypothesis again, verification again. After simple logical deduction, he concluded the pale gold thalamus could enable limb regeneration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the next question became: where to get this divine medicine! “Actually, we have a way to test whether the golden thalamus is related to mutation levels!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Yanshan spoke with absolute certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su’s heart leapt: “What way?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We could take it from inside the fire-spitting zombie’s skull…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t even think about it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su immediately cut off Xie Yanshan’s “brilliant idea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Limb regeneration was important, but even if ten people regained their limbs, it wouldn’t help the camp as much as one fire-spitting zombie!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… then we have no solution for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Yanshan awkwardly rubbed his hands, realizing his suggestion was terrible, then sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speaking of this thalamus—it’s truly unusual. Normally, thalami are harvested while the zombie is still alive, or during the moment of death during craniotomy—that’s the only way to preserve viability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But according to your account, the liquefied gas zombie died over twelve hours ago. If it were a regular zombie, the thalamus would have shriveled and dried up, like a withered flower bud—completely inert.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So… originally, inside the zombie’s brain, it might have been darker in color and larger in size?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su seized the key point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Based on experience, yes…” Xie Yanshan nodded seriously, then suddenly paled, slapping his palm with his other hand: “Oh no!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared at him, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Yanshan didn’t drag it out: “Mr. Zhang, I deeply admire Dr. Fu’s bold experimentation—he knew the thalamus’s miraculous effects far earlier than almost everyone else, even everyone. But if someone else discovers a thalamus of this quality, then… then they won’t ignore it. They’ll pour resources into research. Then…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t finish, but everyone present wasn’t stupid—they understood. Only when you have what others don’t do you hold an advantage; if everyone has it, you’re left with internal competition!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su waved his hand, making a reasonable deduction: “Dr. Xie, you’re usually stuck in the lab and rarely go out—you might not know the outside situation. If our earlier judgment is correct, only zombies with higher mutation levels produce this special thalamus, then there’s no need to worry too much. Such zombies are far too rare!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If high-mutation zombies were everywhere, limb regeneration wouldn’t matter much—people would be thinking about how to survive…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagine a hundred liquefied gas zombies charging forward with their black spheres, one pulse, one contraction, one squeeze—no human, no building, could withstand it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire-spitting zombies are even worse. If a few dozen suddenly appeared, they could completely destroy Tianma Island!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The technology left behind by this civilization is too advanced—unfathomable, beyond comprehension.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he studied, the more Xie Yanshan felt his knowledge was insufficient. Unlike Fu Wei, who craved high-precision instruments, he feared entering the microscopic world—it was a dazzling technology crafted by another civilization. He was awed. He was jealous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Tianji had also been marveling, delighted to be among the first beneficiaries of the pale golden thalamus, when suddenly he heard a shocking piece of news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Tianji had also been marveling, delighted to be among the first beneficiaries of the pale gold thalamus, but now he heard a shocking statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dr. Xie, you just said… this civilization? What civilization? Do you know what’s really behind the zombies?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various theories had circulated in the camp, but none were definitive. Now, hearing a researcher speak with such certainty, curiosity flared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ke Zhiyu was stunned; an accidental injury had brought him to the core of this camp, exposing him to too many secrets his level shouldn’t know. He didn’t have Liu Tianji’s intense curiosity—he wanted to escape, afraid that knowing too much would trap him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ke Zhiyu was stunned. An accidental injury had brought him to the core of this camp, exposing him to too many secrets he shouldn’t know. He didn’t have Liu Tianji’s curiosity—he wanted to flee. He feared that knowing too much would trap him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su understood Ke Zhiyu’s thoughts. He gave a half-smile and said: “You already know too much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ke Zhiyu felt a chill that made his bladder tighten, nearly causing him to drip urine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ke Zhiyu felt a chill—his bladder tightened, nearly leaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I swear I won’t say a word. I know nothing. When I go out and someone asks me, I’ll say I was unconscious the whole time. If I let slip even one word, I’ll… I’ll never get hard again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without needing anyone to prompt him, Ke Zhiyu issued a self-aware curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. That’s your own word. If any related rumors surface outside, you’ll be the first we grab—and we’ll castrate you on the spot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su patted Ke Zhiyu’s shoulder, then turned to Liu Tianji: “Based on everything we know now, the cause of this disaster is likely a higher civilization. We just don’t know if it came from outer space or the Earth’s core—or what its purpose was.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To a higher civilization, are we… like ants to us? Maybe they have no special purpose—just treating Earth as a petri dish, playing around…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Tianji recalled how, as a child, he and his friends used a magnifying glass to burn ants, and dropped the shocking remark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It sounds tragic, but we live our own lives—humans still have their own joys. Don’t dwell on what’s out of reach. Enough, rest now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It sounds tragic, but we live our lives. Humans still have their own joys. Don’t dwell on things beyond reach. Alright, rest up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su nodded to Liu Tianji and Ke Zhiyu, unwilling to continue this demoralizing topic, then turned to Xie Yanshan: “Dr. Xie, shall we go see Qiu Hui?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? I was just thinking the same!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Yanshan hadn’t forgotten Zhang Su’s experiment—he immediately perked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stepped out of the room, and the zombies crouched in the corner of the hallway immediately protested, as if accusing Zhang Su of abusing prisoners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two stepped out of the room, the zombie crouched in the corridor’s corner let out a protest—as if accusing Zhang Su of abusing his prisoner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Zhang, how do we conduct the experiment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Yanshan stared at the zombie on the ground—limbs missing, bound like a giant crab—and his expression turned strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t do experiments like you guys—too complicated. I just watch the zombie’s reaction. Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Zhang Su picked up the zombie and gestured for Xie Yanshan to open the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[61] (End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1309,"2026-06-20T15:15:16.642Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1cc46485407faa8a9f26a74c947e96f1193cf86f017a73134ee9df6c02c8d180","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-592","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-590",694,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-cover.jpg"]
