Chapter 76: Huo Sheng’s Research Findings

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

According to Lu Ming’s thoughts, Huo Sheng had come to him to discuss the appearance of the tentacle monster that appeared yesterday.

The emergence of a new evolved form of zombies was always a significant event for all survivors.

Huo Sheng’s visit this time was most likely for this reason.

He had to talk to Lu Ming about the potential consequences and impacts of the appearance of a Level 4 zombie.

In fact, Huo Sheng and Bai Tianyu’s visit was indeed related to this matter.

While eating, Lu Ming chatted casually with Huo Sheng—mainly because Lu Ming was eating while Huo Sheng did the talking.

“Level 4 zombies are not easy to deal with. They have strong healing abilities, fast speed, and great strength… Bai Tianyu told me about this yesterday, and for now, it seems that we don’t have a good method to handle Level 4 zombies.”

Unless nuclear weapons are used.

But, cultivating mushrooms in the city… Forgetit…

After wiping his mouth, Lu Ming pondered and said, “I don’t have any good ideas either.”

That tentacle creature had normal intelligence and would hide or run away if it could not win. In the complex urban environment, a Level 4 zombie that was determined to escape posed an unsolvable problem for Lu Ming.

Besides, Lu Ming obviously could not have chased after it for too far—what if he fell into an ambush outside!?

After explaining his difficulties, Lu Ming focused on eating again.

He thought that the conversation would end here.

Unexpectedly, Huo Sheng thought for a moment and signaled to Bai Tianyu with his eyes. Seeing this, Bai Tianyu immediately left the outdoor kitchen. Soon, only Lu Ming, Zhang Chengchcng, and Huo Sheng were left in the area.

At this moment, Huo Sheng spoke again, “I’ve analyzed your blood.”

Lu Ming nodded. “Sister Meng gave it to you?”

“Yes.”

About a month ago, Meng Jie asked Lu Ming for a blood sample for scientific research purposes.

Lu Ming thought about it and agreed—because it was a trivial matter.

If Meng Jie could analyze and find something helpful to humanity from his blood, Lu Ming would only raise his hands in celebration.

From the looks of it, it was probably because the experimental facilities here were insufficient, so Meng Jie transferred his blood sample to Huo Sheng.

Lu Ming had no objections to that.

Now, as Huo Sheng brought up the topic, it was evident that he had analyzed something from Lu Ming’s blood sample.

After swallowing a large piece of beef, Lu Ming looked at Huo Sheng and saw a gleam in his eyes as he said slowly, “You’re not an Awakened one, right?”

Huo Sheng’s words startled Zhang Chengcheng.

Then, she looked at Huo Sheng in confusion and said, “Brother Lu isn’t an Awakened one? How is that possible!”

Absolutely impossible!

How could an ordinary person be compared to Brother Lu?!

Not to mention ordinary people, even Awakened ones could not compare…

Lu Ming frowned. He thought for a moment and said, “I don’t actually know if I’m considered an Awakened.”

Lu Ming felt that he was probably not an Awakened one.

However, there was nothing wrong with saying that he was an Awakened one.

The attribute system was a superpower.

But he did not experience the high fever that occurred when someone became an Awakened one.

In short, Lu Ming was unclear about his identity—but this was not important. He knew how to become stronger, and that was enough.

Seeing Lu Ming’s puzzled expression, Huo Sheng let out a sigh.

“It seems that you’re not clear about your own situation….but it doesn’t matter. Whether you’re Awakened or not and whatever secrets you may have, none of that is important.”

What was important was that Lu Ming had the strength and the will to protect others. That was the most important thing.

With that, Huo Sheng organized his words briefly and said, “I’ve analyzed your blood and found a very strange phenomenon. Your cells did not show signs of binding with the mystery factor! In other words, at the cellular level, you’re not an Awakened one, but an ordinary person.”

Zhang Chengcheng was in a daze. She felt that Huo Sheng’s words were difficult to understand.

She glanced at Huo Sheng from time to time, only to see his serious expression.

She then looked at Lu Ming and saw that his expression was calm.

“And then?” Lu Ming asked in response to Huo Sheng’s statement.

Faced with Lu Ming’s question, Huo Sheng suddenly had a strange expression on his face.

“Then, I conducted another experiment to test if your body cells can recombine with the mystery factor.

“The result is positive.”

After saying this, Huo Sheng immediately grinned, “Do you know what this means?”

Lu Ming shook his head in confusion, “What does it mean?”

“It means that regardless of whether you are an Awakened one or not, you can awaken again!”

“First, let’s talk about some other research findings.

“Although the cells in your body have not combined with the mystery factor, the strength of your cells still far exceeds the limits of ordinary people.

“And this level of strength can even allow you to defeat zombie infections solely with your immune system.

“In other words, regardless of whether you’re an Awakened one or not, you’re immune to the zombie virus during blood extraction.”

The blood was drawn more than a month ago.

Previously, Lu Ming was already immune to zombie infection, let alone the current Lu Ming.

“And most importantly, let’s talk about Awakening.”

When it came to this topic, Huo Sheng’s eyes lit up, indicating his excitement. He turned to Zhang Chengcheng and asked with a smile, “Chengcheng, do you know what this means?”

Zhang Chengcheng thought of a highly probable answer.

She turned to look at Lu Ming and could not help but gasp in astonishment.

“According to Dr. Huo, assuming that Brother Lu is not an Awakened one. Currently, there is still a possibility for him to become one, which means… Brother Lu’s strength can further improve!”

Huo Sheng interrupted with a smile, “Not just further improvement, it’s an exponential improvement!”

“When an ordinary person becomes a Level 1 Awakened, their physical abilities will double.

“When a Level 1 Awakened advances to Level 2, his physical abilities double again, along with Awakened superpower!

“I conducted some experiments with Lu Ming’s cells and discovered that he indeed still has the potential to become an Awakened individual! However, because his body is too strong, it requires a significant amount of mystery factors. If we follow the normal process… that is, natural Awakening, the probability of Mr. Lu Ming becoming an Awakened is infinitely close to zero!”

This was because the tiny amount of the mystery factor present in the air had been digested and decomposed by Lu Ming’s body as soon as it entered his respiratory system. It could not fuse into his cells to promote Lu Ming’s Awakening.

If the probability of an ordinary person becoming an Awakened person was like winning the lottery,

then the probability of Lu Ming becoming an Awakened person was like an ordinary person winning the lottery jackpot for 999 consecutive days.

Hearing Huo Sheng’s words, Zhang Chengcheng could not help but sigh in disappointment.

But Lu Ming asked with interest, “Dr. Huo, you just said that according to the normal process, I have no chance of becoming an Awakened person. Does that mean that you have an abnormal process?”

Huo Sheng smiled and nodded.

“In fact, I’ve already researched how to turn an ordinary person into an Awakened person..”
