Chapter 145 The Origin of the Zombie Virus
A vast collection of science fiction novels to satisfy your reading preferences.
Although both were feudal empires, the Han Hai Empire entered the information age.
Therefore, given the weaponry of the Han Hai Empire, suppressing these popular uprisings would be an easy task.
If it weren't for the accidental leak of the zombie virus, the emperor's dictatorial rule would very likely have been realized.
"Virus leak."
Han Bei murmured, somewhat confused as to why the virus would suddenly leak out.
Could it be that someone deliberately leaked the virus?
But even so.
Those who leak the virus also have a high probability of being transformed into zombies.
Would anyone really be willing to do such a thing?
Another point is that the emperor of the Hanhai Empire has lived for so long, which surprised Han Bei.
However, in these records...
There was still something that puzzled Han Bei.
Where did those giant zombies come from?
According to Su Yang, those giant zombies were all artificially modified.
They belong to the category of semi-mechanical beings.
However, according to the diary, the appearance of the giant zombie occurred almost a year after the outbreak of the virus.
During this period of time.
The fact that giant zombies have never appeared gives the survivors an opportunity to band together for warmth.
However, once the giant zombies appear, the survivor bases with larger numbers of survivors are the first targets of the giant zombies.
Han Bei was somewhat puzzled.
He always felt that within a few years after those viral outbreaks, someone within the Han Hai Empire must have been researching these mechanical creations.
I just don't know what those people's purpose is.
"See if there's anything useful in the other materials."
Su Yang snapped out of his thoughts and took the remaining documents from Guo Yong's hand.
They kept searching.
Wang Fei's diary covers too broad a range of topics and lacks detail.
For example, this only records a special type of zombie besides ordinary zombies, namely the giant zombies they had seen before.
Since the diary records giant zombies, could there be other types of zombies as well?
For example, winged zombies that can fly in the air.
Or perhaps tiny zombies that are extremely small and can hide in various places.
Even zombies that can quickly burrow underground?
All of this kept flashing through Su Yang's mind.
The result was a continuous search.
Su Yang's gaze finally settled on the last document in his hand.
On the document, there was a large line of text about the gigantification and multifunctionality of zombies.
It is quietly being imprinted on the paper.
"Found it."
Seeing this, Su Yang stared intently.
The recorder of the data was a research officer at the Han Hai Empire Research Institute.
The Vast Ocean Empire.
An empire that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
In the early stages of the empire, the rulers worked diligently to transform the Han Hai Empire into a superpowerful nation.
And through years of warfare, it annihilated all the other hostile countries, until finally only this regime remained on this land.
After hundreds of years of rule.
The empire was already corrupt from within.
The nobility possessed everything and were obsessed with pleasure. Class divisions were severe, and the lower classes had no hope of rising above their station.
Those of high nobility, on the other hand, have access to the best education and various resources from birth.
However, the common people at the bottom of society have to face the problem of food and clothing from birth. Even during severe climate disasters, the entire empire was filled with starving corpses, a truly tragic situation.
because of this.
During the nearly 100-year period of rule, popular uprisings broke out in many regions.
However, because the imperial nobles possessed far greater technological power than the common people, every popular uprising was completely suppressed.
In order to maintain their rule, emperors even made an example of many people by beheading them.
This is why many people in the empire harbor extreme resentment towards the emperor. However, because the emperor's army and equipment are so superior, they can only endure it.
After so many uprisings, the last emperor ascended the throne.
It directly and strictly prohibits civilians from engaging in any form of armed force or any form of scientific and technological research.
They also imposed high taxes to oppress the people, making them unable to even think about rebellion.
They even ordered these research officers to develop something that could manipulate and control the people.
These research officers conducted continuous testing in each experiment.
Finally, by chance...
They created a virus that could drive people mad, yet keep them alive.
The key is that, in their imagination, once this virus can be completely mutated, the physical condition of the infected person will definitely be much stronger than before.
People who have been infected with this virus.
It needs neither to eat nor rest, just like an industrial machine that never stops.
Many imperial research officers felt a chill run down their spines when they saw that they had developed such a thing.
They actually managed to develop something like this.
Many people originally intended to secretly eliminate it, but some of the imperial research officers directly reported the findings to the Emperor.
After learning that the virus was so effective, the emperor felt no fear whatsoever.
It even sparked an excitement I'd never felt before.
The emperor ordered mass research into this medicine.
If any research officer was unwilling to conduct research, the emperor would use their family members as leverage to force all research officers to do so.
After the virus was discovered.
The emperor immediately ordered it to be injected into the bodies of death row inmates who had previously attempted to rebel, intending to transform them into the first batch of emotionless industrial machines.
The experiment was very successful.
Those death row inmates were completely infected and turned into zombies, losing all their intelligence.
Even the emperor built a power plant specifically for them.
The zombies were imprisoned in the generator truck, which was then made to operate day and night.
For emperors,
The living people are not good people.
The emperor will continuously open various factories in different places, making those zombies work day and night.
The entire empire has fallen into a strange state.
Research officials also told the emperor about the dangers of the virus, saying that these viruses were still unstable.
It shouldn't have been put into use on such a large scale.
But the emperor paid no attention.
To him, any danger that can be solved with weapons is not considered a danger.
No matter how strong those zombies are.
That too can be completely killed.
Therefore, the emperor was not worried at all about what kind of impact those zombies would have.
Time keeps passing.
Initially, nothing happened in those factories. Even when zombies tried to attack the workers,
They were also easily and completely killed.
