Chapter 166: Successive Disappearances
Ji Wanwan and others brought the dried corpse back to the laboratory in the central building to conduct research, where they discovered that the person’s blood had been completely drained. In addition, traces of the zombie virus were detected in his muscle tissues.
Xu Siming deduced that it was a zombie who had drained the person’s blood, and it could very likely be a high-level zombie masquerading as an ordinary person.
The reason why the person’s eyes did not turn red and no mutation occurred was because he had died completely during the blood-sucking process before the mutation could complete.
As a student of life sciences, Ji Wanwan knew that Xu Siming’s deduction was not without basis.
It was because of this that her mood became exceptionally solemn.
If there was indeed a high-level zombie infiltrating the base, it would be troublesome. With tens of thousands of people currently in the base, performing checks on each one would be incredibly difficult and would cause panic among the survivors.
Moreover, if there truly was a high-level zombie, they had remained undetected for so long that ordinary checks would hardly be likely to find them easily.
Thinking of this, Ji Wanwan rubbed her temples with a headache.
That night, Ji Wanwan called a meeting to discuss how to deal with the situation.
Everyone offered their opinions, some suggesting deploying more personnel for widespread checks to minimize risk, while others believed in conducting a small-scale secret investigation, trying not to alarm more survivors to avoid causing panic.
