If Lin Fan saw this, he would have exclaimed in shock.
Evolution, this is evolution.
Zombies breaking through their previous boundaries, with the structure of their flesh and blood changing, thus possessing extraordinary powers.
Officer Huang squatted in front of Dongdong, his eyes possessing a godly sheen as he stared at Dongdong and opened his mouth, "Huh... ah..."
As if trying to say something.
But he could only make the strange sounds, "Huh... ah..."
Dongdong tilted his head, looking eye to eye with Officer Huang, "Huh... ya..."
Upon hearing this sound.
Officer Huang slowly stood up, petting Dongdong’s head. In terms of behavior, his situation had already diverged significantly from that of other zombies. Before he had fed on the flesh of an Awakener, he could hold a child’s hand, he could escort survivors to the Sunshine District; it was the remnants of reason from after becoming a zombie that made him do so.
Now, after feeding on the flesh of an Awakener, his development towards humanization had progressed further, though this developmental effect was still not very pronounced.
However, his physical body had undergone significant evolution.
Afterward, Officer Huang walked towards the police station with Dongdong.
Officer Huang had consumed no small amount of crystals. From a rational but ordinary zombie to being able to hunt Evolutionary Zombies, that was growth in strength.
But there had never been a qualitative change.
Now, after feeding on an Awakener, a qualitative change had occurred.
If one must make a comparison, it might have similarities with the matured hybrid zombies that Lin Fan had hunted previously.
Lin Fan, carrying Ma Yilong’s corpse, stood on the rooftop of a shop. Below him, a zombie seeing Lin Fan’s presence, snarled viciously, its hands scraping the wall, trying to climb up and devour Lin Fan.
"Ordinary zombies, devoid of reason and consciousness; if it feasts on the flesh of an Awakener, will that result in a different transformation?"
He now felt like a scholar. Without the support of vast knowledge, he could only rely on real experiments for verification.
Grasping Ma Yilong’s arm, he threw it downward, hitting the zombie in the face.
The snarling zombie, looking at the bloodied arm, lunged fiercely to grab and crazily consume it. The sounds of the zombie tearing and chewing flesh could be heard clearly.
"Indeed devoid of reason, while Officer Huang merely nibbled, you’re eating it as if it’s a meal," Lin Fan shook his head.
From this, one could see the gap between the ordinary zombies and Officer Huang.
As the ordinary zombie finished consuming the flesh-covered arm, Lin Fan noticed a transformation in the zombie before him; it didn’t fall to the ground trembling, but instead opened its mouth wide, snarled ferociously, and a lump of flesh swelled at its neck, expanding continuously until it covered the entire shoulder in the blink of an eye.
"Heh heh," the ordinary zombie growled viciously, and its arms and legs began to swell similarly. Its stature shot up as its body underwent a remarkable transformation, looking savage and agitated.
Soon, the transformation ended.
The ordinary zombie before him had undergone earth-shattering changes, now an extremely ugly aberrant zombie. Seeing Lin Fan standing on the second floor’s rooftop, it didn’t continue to climb the wall but instead charged headlong into the glass door, shattering it with a bang, and the zombie rushed inside the shop.
The zombie reached the second-floor window, trying to climb to the rooftop through the window.
Watching the rotting arm grabbing the edge of the rooftop, the ordinary zombie climbed up like a spider, with half of its body already up on the rooftop.
Lin Fan stamped on the zombie’s head, crushing it.
"Why is it different?" Lin Fan pondered.
After Officer Huang and Dongdong fed on flesh, there was a clear glimmer of humanity in their eyes, with no abrupt bodily mutations.
On the other hand, these mindless ordinary zombies had body transformations and an abnormal state, and they seemed to possess a bit of intelligence, even knowing to smash through glass and climb up the second-floor window, isn’t that smarter than other zombies?
"Ferocity, aberration, a margin of intellect, improved climbing abilities..." he analyzed the situation just now.
He had arrived at a conclusion that the flesh of Awakeners has different effects on different types of zombies.
Science is about obtaining results through continuous verification.
For ordinary zombies, feasting on the flesh of an Awakener could have a certain enhancing effect.
Carrying the armless corpse of Ma Yilong.
He continued experimenting.
Another ordinary zombie, after consuming Ma Yilong’s thigh, underwent a similar aberration, becoming even more ferocious and actually started eating its kind, and when it saw Lin Fan, as if knowing it was no match, it actually had the notion to flee.
"What a complicated situation of mutation. The differences between humans cause different aberrations in zombies after transformation, don’t they?" Lin Fan mused.
The previous one had a lump of flesh at the neck.
And the one just now had it on its arms.
He continued to look for an Evolutionary Zombie, a Powerful Zombie, which, after consuming Ma Yilong’s entire mangled body, also became extraordinarily agitated, with a correspondingly deformed evolutionary body.
"The wicked Ma Yilong didn’t die in vain; I didn’t expect the flesh of an Awakener to contain such potential, serving as a key to evolution for zombies and such a straightforward one," Lin Fan reflected.
"Should I tell Eagle?" he wondered about this matter.
His main concern was that if the wrong people learned about it, the flesh of Awakeners, like a catalyst to zombies, could trigger a riot and aberrant evolution in zombies, making them fiercer and wilder than others.
They might even evolve into having advantages they previously lacked.
Such as the ability to climb, or perhaps... intelligence.
Lin Fan, having cleared out zombies and taken a shower, stepped out to the balcony and dialed Eagle’s number on the satellite phone.
