Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Post-apocalyptic Light Queen VS Space Female Supporting Character (Part 22) Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Post-apocalyptic Light Queen VS Space Female Supporting Character (Part 22) Lei Ting frowned and said, “No one has ever come to this place before, so what caused the sudden outbreak of zombie infections in humans?”
Others wanted to ask the same question.
Gu Shengyin pointed to the bottom of the coffin: “Look, the crack in this coffin is at the bottom, which means, those black gases slowly seeping out mostly merged into the ice layer. In recent years, due to severe destruction of Earth’s environment and the continuous increase of carbon dioxide, many glaciers started to melt.”
Her expression became serious: “Have any of you ever considered, what if, the part of the glacier that melted contained the Infection Source? Do you still remember the global rainfall that lasted for half a month just before the apocalypse arrived?”
As soon as she said this, everyone remembered; indeed, zombies began to appear during that global climate change event, claimed to be a rare occurrence in ten thousand years.
“Even if this explains things, then why has the Earth lost the Sunshine?” a scientist suddenly asked.
Gu Shengyin shook her head and said with a bitter smile, “I’m just an ordinary Special Ability User, how could I possibly understand everything? Shouldn’t this be your forte?”
The scientist was embarrassed; he had only asked because he was unconsciously convinced by Gu Shengyin’s fluent explanation.
Most of the people present thought that Gu Shengyin’s analysis made sense. After all, they had witnessed a Special Ability User instantly turn into a zombie just by coming into contact with the black gas. It was very likely that this black coffin was indeed the source of the zombie outbreak.
“So, what should we do now? Destroy this object?” a researcher hesitated.
Lei Ting spoke solemnly, “No, let’s not even talk about whether we have the means to completely destroy it. Who knows what will happen if the corpse inside the coffin breaks apart? If it leads to a massive leak of the Infection Source, that would truly bring about the apocalypse.”
“But we can’t just leave it here. It’s clear that the zombies are targeting this coffin. Let’s boldly speculate that these black gases might very well promote the evolution of the zombies. It absolutely must not fall into the hands of the zombies.”
“What if we take it back with us?” a Special Ability User suggested.
Another person objected: “We can’t even touch this thing, who would be responsible for bringing it back? Besides, if the zombies knew about it in the Antarctic, imagine if we brought it back to our base? I guess the Zombie Tide’s target would then shift to our base. If thousands of zombies attack our base, who could withstand that?”
Though spoken without intention, these words caught attention.
Hearing this, Gu Shengyin was moved and said, “That could be a way; I can try to move it.”
Before others could respond, Lei Ting’s expression darkened: “No!” How could he just watch her take such a risk?
Gu Shengyin smiled, “My light series superpower can immunize me against these things. Don’t worry.”
Lei Ting frowned, “You have never tried before, how could you possibly know it will immunize you? This is not a joke!”
Gu Shengyin thought to herself, of course, I would only try if I was confident.
Seeing that she clearly didn’t take his words seriously, Lei Ting’s face darkened, and he grabbed Gu Shengyin who was about to step forward, his resolute face solemn: “If anyone is to test it, let me do it. With so many men here, how can we let a woman go?”
