Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Post-apocalyptic Light Queen VS Space Female Supporting Character (Part 21) Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Post-apocalyptic Light Queen VS Space Female Supporting Character (Part 21) Pollution source?
Gu Shengyin looked at the corpse, which could almost be called a work of art, in shock.
Upon closer inspection, not just Gu Shengyin, but everyone noticed that there were strands of black energy flowing beneath the corpse, and at the bottom of the coffin, a crack could be seen.
A very fine black mist was seeping out through the crack.
Could it be, this black mist was the origin of the zombies?
System: “Analyzing data, analyzing data… Data analysis complete. This creature is from a dark planet located a hundred million and five light years from Earth and arrived here through a space-time wormhole. It carries a heavy concentration of dark power. The system has detected that humans have no resistance against this dark power, and zombification is a symptom of the infection.”
Gu Shengyin, surprised, asked, “He came to Earth alone, so how could he end up lying in a coffin?”
System: “There can be only one answer: the creature that came through the wormhole was originally placed inside the coffin, and by a twist of fate, it fell onto Earth. The crack that leaked the dark power was likely caused by the violent collision at that time. According to the analysis, there are no cold weapons on Earth capable of breaking this material.” Firearms couldn’t possibly leave just a small crack like that.
“What in the world is this thing?” A special ability user couldn’t help but reach out and touch it.
“Don’t move!” Unfortunately, Gu Shengyin hadn’t finished speaking when the special ability user’s hand had already made contact.
The black mist, as if finding a host to latch onto, spread through the crack and entered the special ability user’s body through their fingertips.
“Ah!” The special ability user suddenly convulsed and let out a scream unlike any human sound.
Everyone watched in horror as the person who was just fine moments ago suddenly started to turn green, their skin began to necrotize, and their eyes lost their luster.
In just a short span of time, they had become a zombie!
“Arrgh!” With a roar, it pounced towards the nearest researcher.
Lei Ting was quick to act, pulling the person away, and at the same moment, a crackling bolt of lightning struck the newly turned zombie.
The zombie was heavily knocked to the ground.
However, Lei Ting frowned.
Any normal zombie would have been killed by his strike, yet this one merely fell over and got back up, apparently unharmed.
Considering a possibility, his expression turned grave.
Just as he was about to strike again, a slender figure beat him to it.
A dazzling light arrow whooshed towards the zombie’s head and pierced it right through.
As the zombie slowly fell, its body disintegrated into ashes at the very same moment.
That was the tyranny of light magic; it never showed the slightest mercy to dark creatures.
Facing Lei Ting’s gaze, Gu Shengyin explained, “When dealing with zombies, light series magic is more efficient.”
The other special ability users snapped out of their shock and quickly distanced themselves from the sinister coffin.
“Could it be, this is the source of the zombie outbreak?” A researcher adjusted his glasses and speculated.
The recent transformation of the special ability user into a zombie was witnessed by everyone, which easily led to this conclusion.
At this moment, because of the identification of the pollution source and newly granted system permissions, Gu Shengyin who knew a bit more spoke up, “Let’s speculate that this strange creature, or rather, the black mist emanating from it, is the source of the zombie outbreak, and this coffin actually serves as a seal. The crack that appeared for unknown reasons has resulted in the leak of this pathogen.”
Upon hearing her words, everyone’s gaze focused on her.
