Volume 1 Eradication Chapter 72 The Truth of Corpse Poison

  "Ah Hao, tell Yuan Ling Dao brother in detail about your experience of saving people in the United States..." Yang Hao listened to his master's words and told Yuan Ling Zhen Ren about their entire experience in the city of corpses, from how ferocious the zombies were, to how their intelligence had advanced in just a few short days, to the point where they finally escaped, and even described the giant monster that appeared at the end, recounting every detail without leaving out a single drop.

  "Right, the real person... This is one of the scientists who studies zombie viruses, he will tell you something more specific." Yang Hao said and looked at Li Guangyi, hinting that it was his turn to show up. Then Li Guangyi continued to say.

  "At first, I obtained a set of documents on corpse control and undead from a coffin maker in Xiangxi. According to the contents recorded above, I studied out the first undead. However, it did not have attack power, but was slow-moving and stupidly wandering around. I don't know how they got the message. Not long after this happened, one day, someone was sent by the top to ask me to add a set of genes to the body of this undead. After I did so, the undead's temperament changed greatly, with an extreme sensitivity to blood, and it only attacked humans, with boundless strength, fearless of knives and guns. The strangest thing is that they regained some consciousness."

  "What is the group of genes that were added"

  "Sorry, our research is mutually confidential, I don't even know what that group of genes is..."

  "If I'm not mistaken, it should be like this..." Yuan Ling Zhen Ren said, turning around and walking into the Qianyuan Temple. Less than 2 minutes later, he reappeared in front of everyone with a small bottle of red liquid in his hand. He walked up to the corpse and used his fingers to draw a talisman, sticking it onto the dead body. The corpse immediately stopped all movement.

  Then he took out another blank talisman and a small brush for drawing talismans from his body. Yuanling Zhenren dipped the brush in the blood in the bottle, drew some incomprehensible things on the talisman, and replaced the soul-fixing talisman on the corpse's head with it. As soon as this bloody talisman was stuck on, the corpse went crazy, its two rows of teeth chattering loudly, and after looking around at the people, it opened its arms and quickly pounced towards Yiyang Shu's position...

  Yu Zhuo suddenly appeared from behind Yi Yang Shu's back, and the corpse stiffened for a moment before turning around to chase after Yu Zhuo. Although the corpse's movements had become more agile and faster, it was still only slightly quicker than an ordinary person's, which didn't pose any threat to Yu Zhuo. Yu Zhuo didn't launch an attack, instead using his agility to dodge... He understood that Yuan Ling Zhen Ren was conducting an experiment, and he could only play the role of a full-time sparring partner for now. However, being a sparring partner for a corpse made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

  "This...this is too unbelievable....What's the reason for this?? Why would a living dead person have such a huge reaction??? Li Guangyi's eyes were fixed on the big screen, and everything that Yuan Ling Zhenren did was within his sight. But he still couldn't understand."

  "Is it related to that bottle of blood?????" Yang Hao rubbed his chin with his hand, stared for a while, and then muttered out the conclusion.

  "What you said is not wrong, this phenomenon can be simple or complex... The symbol I just stuck on the corpse's head was written with tiger blood. This corpse itself does not have acquired consciousness, but the tiger's blood retains the tiger's acquired consciousness, and the memory in the blood combines with the corpse's primordial spirit. So, this corpse becomes a human-shaped tiger-hearted thing, whatever characteristics the tiger has, it also has...". Yuan Ling Zhenren's words seemed to make everyone see the answer.

  "Brother Dao, are you saying that zombies also originated from this? Being added with acquired consciousness in the blood?"

  "It should be like this, but that group of genes isn't from a wild animal..."

  "Brother Dao, please enlighten me..."

  "Far away in the sky, close at hand, zombies have a strong reaction to blood, and their attack targets are only human. I suspect that another group of genes added to the zombie's body is the gene of the Blood Clan." Yuan Ling Zhen Ren blurted out his guess. The people present, even those far away in Canada, were extremely shocked, never expecting the answer to be like this.

  "Blood clan??? Are you saying that the zombies were created by combining the method of Chinese living dead with the innate nature of the blood clan?? This...this is impossible, people who know Taoism are already scarce in China, how can there be someone in the US?" Old Man Jansen blurted out his thoughts without hesitation, because this answer was too unexpected for him.

  "You're wrong, creating such a zombie doesn't necessarily require the use of Taoist magic. Modern science is also very advanced, as far as I know, Americans started researching human subconsciousness and brain development decades ago. So it's not difficult to stimulate the subconsciousness of the dead, let alone blood memory, which is even simpler. The genes you mentioned are a great breakthrough in science. Therefore, this matter can also be achieved through scientific methods. As long as you understand the underlying principles, it's not difficult..."

  "Really, if you let me use the Taoist method, I don't know if I can restrain it?" Li Guangyi seemed to have understood the meaning behind Yuan Ling Zhenren's words. The Americans were learning the principles of Chinese Taoism and using scientific methods to create it. Conversely, if Li Guangyi could learn the principles of controlling zombies in Taoism, he could also achieve the same effect using scientific methods.

  "Of course, the Tao is the root of all things. All things in heaven and earth are born from the Tao and are also subject to its constraints. This zombie is no exception. I'm only telling you the principle here, you can use scientific methods to achieve results in a short period of time." Yuanling Zhenren finished speaking, took a big stride forward, and rushed between Yuzhuo and the living dead, pressing down on its head with his left hand.

  "In the above is Heaven, in the below is Earth, giving life to movement, and stillness to death. Yin and Yang are divided, urgent as a law...". Yuan Ling Zhen Ren finished speaking, his left hand relaxed, and this living dead person immediately lost all vitality, thudded to the ground, motionless.

  "Have you seen it? This is actually not difficult at all. Ordinary people are distracted by their minds, so they become confused. Now the solution to this zombie problem is clear. All things have a root, nourish it and it will live, cut it off and it will perish. The way to eliminate it is to cut off its root."

  Yuán Líng Zhēn Rén's words are indeed clear and straightforward now. The two supporting points of the undead are the Yuán Shén and the bloodline gene, so cutting off one of them is the most fundamental method.

  Li Guangyi's brain was relatively smart, and he immediately understood the meaning of this sentence, but there was still a most critical problem to be solved.

  "True Man, there's another crucial matter I'd like to ask for your guidance on..." Yuan Ling True Man listened to Li Guangyi's words and didn't say anything, instead quietly waiting...

  "If a person is bitten by a zombie and becomes one of them, the fear in the warriors' hearts will greatly affect their actions. The power to counterattack will also be greatly weakened. How can we solve the infection problem?" Li Guangyi finished speaking, but only saw Yuan Ling Zhen Ren smiling at Yang Hao beside him, without directly answering him.

  Yang Hao stared into Yuan Ling Zhen Ren's eyes, his mind racing... What would the answer be? How to deal with the infection problem?

  "All things have their roots, nourish them and they will live; cut them off and they will perish." The words of the True Person of the Original Spirit echoed again in Yang Hao's mind.

  "Ah~~ I understand, the root... finding the root... is to find the first zombie, which is the mother zombie body. It must have viral antibodies, this is nurturing life. If we kill the mother zombie body, then no one will be infected again, this is cutting off death."

  "Haha... One Yang fellow practitioner, this little disciple of yours is quite clever. Not bad, not bad..."

  "Alright, Brother Yang Hao... things have become clear now. As for the next step, I think you guys should come up with a plan before I get back."

  "Alright, Master, we'll discuss it as soon as possible and try to come up with a plan in the shortest time," Yang Hao said, feeling somewhat relieved. However, new problems emerged: where was the mother zombie??? Who was the owner of the mother zombie??? How could they find it???

  Please stay tuned for the next chapter of Yang Ren Yin Cha, and everything will be revealed...
