Free Web NovelChapter 99: Your Zombie Seems Different
Hearing Melvin’s confession, Roderick glanced at the glass in the interrogation room. Seeing no sign of orders from Victor, Roderick continued his interrogation of Melvin.
"What do you want by feeding your group leader who has become a zombie?" Roderick still couldn’t understand the reason Melvin gave.
"What do you mean by that question! Of course, I’m doing it for the chairman!" Melvin, who had been calm before, became angry again and reacted with excessive emotion.
Roderick glanced at Melvin sharply and told him to calm down with a look in his eyes. Although Roderick didn’t understand what Melvin meant, he knew that Melvin’s brain thought differently.
Then, Roderick decided to ask another question, which was no less severe. When the military cleaned up the zombies, Roderick was very aware that there was something different about them.
Because he had often fought zombies, Roderick and the other soldiers were very familiar with what it was like to fight zombies and all their habits. The zombies they fought yesterday were somehow more intelligent.
Not only that, Roderick also felt that the zombies were moving faster than the usual zombies. Their strength also felt more robust because of these many irregularities. Roderick wanted to ask Melvin if he had done something to them.
"There’s something that makes me wonder. Did you do something to those zombies?" Roderick looked directly into Melvin’s eyes.
"I just fed them," Melvin replied while shaking his head.
"Really? You didn’t inject anything into them?" Even though this question didn’t make sense, Roderick still asked Melvin.
"Of course not! Why would I inject something into the chief!" Melvin glared angrily at Roderick when he didn’t believe his words.
Seeing Melvin’s anger at him, Roderick also believed he didn’t do anything to the zombies. Then what happened to the zombies that they turned even more vicious than before like that?
Feeling that he had enough interrogation with Melvin at the moment, Roderick stepped out of the interrogation room, leaving Melvin alone.
After leaving the interrogation room, Roderick entered the room next to it and entered there. Inside, Roderick saw that there were already four other people there: Victor, Theodore, Christopher, and another soldier.
"What do you think, captain?" Roderick immediately asked Victor for his opinion on what Melvin had told them in the interrogation room.
"It seems like he didn’t do anything to the zombies," said Victor, who also wondered what made them more vicious.
Although Theodore had tried to fight the zombies that came out of the Cataclysm Brotherhood’s headquarters, he had no idea that was what the two of them were talking about right now.
"Wait a minute, can you tell me what you’re talking about first?" Theodore interrupted their conversation with a confused face.
"That’s right, you didn’t fight with those zombies." Roderick nodded his head and understood why Theodore was confused like that.
Then, Roderick began to explain the changes in the zombies they were fighting when clearing the zombies roaming around in their base. Not only that, Roderick also told some of the oddities that existed in the zombies.
After finally knowing what topic they were discussing, Theodore finally understood and stated what he had experienced. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"When I returned from the barracks that time, I met some zombies that seemed to have passed the guard at the front. I fought some of them and felt something different about those zombies," Theodore explained later.
Victor and Roderick looked at each other when they heard Theodore’s words. This was something new that they knew.
"If you’re going to say that, then there’s something different about those zombies." Victor nodded his head, already able to confirm that there were changes in the zombies.
"What do you think, doctor? Did you think of anything about the changes in the zombies?" Victor continued his speech, but this time, it was directed at Christopher, who had been silent and listening to them.
"Were you able to get one or two zombie bodies? I’ll have to research their bodies directly to determine what affected their transformation," Christopher explained with a serious face.
"Are you sure you want us to bring you a zombie body?" Roderick couldn’t believe what Christopher was saying at the moment.
"Yes, I need it." Christopher still spoke with his usual serious face.
"It can indeed help; you better get what Doctor Christopher wants," Theodore said, feeling that Christopher’s request made sense to find out exactly what happened to the zombies.
Although Theodore already thought that the first evolution of the zombies had started, from now on, the zombies would become more robust and more intelligent. Not only that, their movements would also be faster than before.
It’s just that Theodore didn’t want to say it because he was still not sure about his hypothesis.
"What can you say about the zombie changes, doctor?" Theodore asked Christopher that question again.
"I can say that it has evolved, but I can’t confirm it yet, so I need their bodies to study it further," Christopher replied, looking at the three people gathered there.
"Evolution? Wouldn’t it be difficult to deal with the zombies if they could evolve?" Roderick was shocked to hear Christopher’s words.
"This is a serious problem if that’s the case. I’ll have to report this to my superiors," Victor said, just as surprised, but he could contain his reaction rather than Roderick.
"But, I’m not sure if the zombies outside the base have changed like the ones here," Christopher continued, curious about the zombies outside the base.
They finally decided to leave the interrogation room and chose to leave the dungeon. Theodore thought that the military would do something about the problem this time.
"Doctor, you just take it easy. We’ll send you what you need right away." Before sending Christopher away, Victor said he would bring Christopher the zombie body samples soon.
"I trust you with that, Captain Victor." Christopher left and went back to the clinic where he worked.
Meanwhile, Victor and Roderick intended to return to the barracks because they had a lot to do because of this problem.
"Theodore, you get ready; soon, I will need you to travel outside the base," Victor said before returning to the barracks.
"Do you want me to test the zombies outside the base?" Theodore assumed that Victor wanted him to go outside the base.
"One of them is for that. Instead, the military desperately needs survival supplies, which I’ll explain later. You can go back now," Victor explained as he told Theodore to go home.
After saying that, Victor dragged Roderick back to the barracks with him, while Theodore, who was left alone, decided to go to the cafeteria first to see what was provided.
