Transmigrated into Another Apocalyptic World (BL) - Chapter 164

Chapter 164: Chapter 163: Visiting the base research institute Chapter 164: Chapter 163: Visiting the base research institute Astrid had come to visit them on the first day after the blizzard ended after Treyton and the others had cleaned the road.

Astrid came alone and went to talk to her friends, but Calvin didn’t come.

So, it seemed that he was still in the research institute like his uncle.

Treyton had already mentioned that most of the time his uncle would just spend his time in the research center dormitories and rarely go home.

Treyton hadn’t seen his Uncle Lawrence again since the day they came, so Treyton had wanted to visit him at the research institute to know what his uncle and the others had found out about the apocalypse.

Luciel was also curious about what they had discovered at this stage.

He also wanted to see what they are currently researching.

So, he decided to follow Treyton and go with him to the research institute.

The research institute was just beside the military base.

When they reached the institute, they were led by the guard outside to the office of Treyton’s uncle.

“Uncle Lawrence, we came to visit,” Treyton said as soon as the guard opened the door to his uncle’s office.

“Oh, it’s you guys.

Just wait for a bit; you guys can sit first,” Uncle Lawrence said while looking up a bit.

Then, he continued writing something in a notebook.

“Let’s sit first; he would only entertain others after he finished what he was doing,” Treyton said and sat on the sofa first.

Luciel also followed him immediately and sat beside Treyton while Jasmine hesitated a bit before sitting on the other sofa.

Treyton’s uncle kept writing something, and only after he closed the book did he finally look at them.

“Sorry for that.

So, Treyton, why are you guys here?” Uncle Lawrence said.

“Uncle to ask about your findings and introduce another researcher to you.” “Oh, you are introducing a researcher again.

You already brought a lot of researchers to us; I didn’t think that you still had someone with you.” “Yeah, she’s Jasmine; she’s a sister of one of our members.

She’s actually the first researcher that we met, but she stayed at the villa first before coming here,” Treyton explained.

“Jasmine, right?

We don’t have a lot of people here, so having one more person to work with is good.

Welcome to the North Base Research Institute,” Uncle Lawrence said with a welcoming smile.

“Thanks for having me.

By the way, I have compiled the things that we have encountered on our way here,” Jasmine said while handing a thick folder to Uncle Lawrence.

Uncle Lawrence also began to browse what’s in the folder.

“As expected, the zombies are really getting stronger.

You guys even met stronger zombies earlier than the people at the base.

The people at the base only encountered very fast zombies just before the sudden winter.

There were more casualties among the soldiers who encountered the zombie at that time because they weren’t prepared.

They knew that the zombie was different, so they brought it back.

You guys encountered it earlier than us; did you guys suffer?” Uncle Lawrence said.

“No, we didn’t.

Luciel fought those baby zombies at that time, so nothing happened.

It was also the only time that we encountered a zombie like that.

We haven’t encountered any human zombies that move as fast as those zombies while traveling north,” Treyton said.

“We only encountered one zombie, so we still aren’t sure if it was a special case, but you guys already encountered 2 zombies like that.

And according to the data we gathered and the data from Jasmine, it can be confirmed that the zombies are really getting stronger.

There should be more and more zombies like those in the future,” Uncle Lawrence said.

“Yeah, that’s most likely to happen.

And there are also the mutant animals and animal zombies,” Treyton said.

“Yes, there are also those animal zombies that were initially stronger than the human zombies.

There are also mutant animals; they become more intelligent and know what they are doing.

Most of them were hiding from humans and stayed on their own.

Those who aren’t hostile to humans wouldn’t attack humans as long as they were left alone, while those that were hostile even know how to trap others.

The things around us were obviously getting stronger and stronger.

But we still haven’t learned a lot about what is really happening around us,” Uncle Lawrence said with a sigh.

“Uncle, what has the research institute found in the past three months?” “We don’t have enough equipment and people, so we only found some basic things.

“It’s already confirmed that there are indeed new sources of energy or forces on earth that were suddenly present after the meteor shower came.

The appearance of the zombie virus and the appearance of the new forces on earth should be almost the same.

According to our findings, we theorized that the new forces on earth had appeared a bit earlier than the zombie virus.

The new forces on earth suddenly came, that’s why all of us fell asleep and also boost our resistance to the zombie virus.

The people that accepted the new forces of earth well have a higher resistance to the zombie virus; that’s why they didn’t become zombies.

We don’t have much proof to prove it, but with the appearance of people with superpowers, it has become more believable.

People with superpowers have higher resistance to the zombie virus.

Even if they’re injured by zombies, as long as they are treated well, they will still survive and won’t become zombies.

However, if ordinary citizens are injured, they will turn into zombies immediately.

So, for now, until evidence says otherwise, we strongly believe that the new forces that appeared helped in resisting the zombie virus that appeared.

We don’t have enough data and equipment, so we still don’t know much about the new forces that appeared on earth.

Which was why we are still studying it, especially because it disrupted a lot of things; that’s why the frequency used for communication and other things wasn’t working.

We still have to establish long-distance communication and other things, so we have to keep studying the new forces that suddenly appeared,” Uncle Lawrence said and paused.

“What about the zombies?” Treyton asked.

“As for the zombies, we already know that they are also getting stronger, especially those that have eaten humans.

But we still don’t know the principle behind it.

We also generally call it a zombie virus, but we aren’t sure if they’re actually viruses.

We found microorganisms in the zombies and already confirmed that they’re indeed the cause of why people turned into zombies.

But we aren’t sure if they’re really viruses because there are a lot of things different from them compared to viruses.

There’s no one in the team that focuses on viruses or microorganisms, so we still aren’t sure about it.

The people you brought are experts in the field of biology, so they might have some results later on.

As for the questions of some people, if the zombies are actually alive and could still turn back to their former selves, the answer is indeed no, just like Jasmine had studied.

It is actually the first thing that we had studied.

We learned that people who turned into zombies are really dead because as soon as they’re contaminated by the zombie virus, it would continue to multiply in their bodies, hollowing them out.

That’s also why their blood would change to a mixture of black and red.

As for other things about zombies, we are still studying it,” Uncle Lawrence said.

Well, Treyton already said that his uncle isn’t a biological researcher, so it’s not a surprise that they haven’t made a lot of progress regarding their research on zombies.

And if they don’t even have enough equipment as they said, then it would be even harder.

It’s also normal and understandable for the people to be concerned about whether the zombies were really already dead or could still turn back into humans.

The base probably ordered them to study whether the zombies are truly dead or still have a chance to turn back to humans because a lot of people are thinking about it.

The base was also originally a military base, and at the beginning, they also had a lot of soldiers.

The base also decisively commanded to kill all those soldiers who turned into zombies.

Even if the command indeed saved all their lives and allowed them to save more citizens earlier, it still couldn’t be avoided for some soldiers to have a psychological shadow of killing the same soldiers as their own.

As long as it wasn’t confirmed that zombies are really already dead and couldn’t turn back to their former selves, it would be hard to solve the problems of those soldiers in the army.

The morale of the army would also be lowered because of thinking that they had killed their own comrades.
