Chapter 200 One Body, Two Souls
Savin, who possessed human consciousness, ignored the zombie consciousness itself.
Instead, he looked at Su Yang.
"According to our calculations, even if you completed your final evolution through the zombie virus, you shouldn't retain human consciousness."
Su Yang frowned and said.
In their research on the zombie virus.
The probability of this happening is almost zero.
But this very situation actually happened.
This left Su Yang somewhat confused.
"I'm also puzzled by this. When I regained consciousness, I found that I had mutated into a zombie, but retained my human consciousness."
"In addition to this, there is another consciousness in my mind—a zombie consciousness that calls itself myself."
"One body, two souls".
Upon hearing this, both Su Yang and Han Bei widened their eyes.
Su Yang knew about it simply because he had some prior knowledge in this area.
Han Bei, on the other hand, simply read too many online novels.
Such cases of possession of other people's bodies are no longer surprising.
According to Savin...
This situation clearly fits the concept of possession in cultivation novels.
However, something went wrong.
This resulted in one body with two souls.
Moreover, it seems that Savin, as a human consciousness, still holds the dominant position in the body.
"At that time, I was not quite fully conscious. Therefore, I had control over my body."
"But it is precisely because of this that the entire empire has come to be what it is today."
Savin looked somewhat dejected.
"At that time, I unleashed a zombie horde powerful enough to overturn the entire empire. The empire's four main forces were wiped out in less than three days under my leadership."
"Finally, the zombies stormed the imperial city. And that old bastard Emperor was also infected and turned into a zombie."
"hiss."
These words were spoken.
Everyone present gasped in shock.
The four main forces couldn't even last three days.
What's the difference between this and the destruction of a country?
If a country doesn't even have an army, wouldn't it become a lamb to the slaughter?
"You just said that the Emperor was also infected and turned into a zombie?"
Jiang Xiaolong spoke with some disbelief.
"That's right, it's just a pity that the old man didn't develop consciousness, and he got off so easily."
Savin nodded, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.
He died so easily.
That really benefited the other party.
"So, that area in the center of the continent is also your doing?"
Han Bei looked at Savin in surprise.
"Yes, when I regained consciousness, I found the entire empire devastated and littered with corpses. So I wrested control of my body from my own consciousness."
"Issue the order that most of the zombies gather in that area and not leave."
"I see."
Su Yang now understands.
Why are all those zombies gathered in that one place?
Instead of choosing to leave.
Behind all of this, Savin was actually involved.
"So, the zombie consciousness of that individual was the ultimate cause of the tragedy?"
Guo Yong couldn't help but speak up.
Yes and no.
Savin sighed and then continued.
"I launched this world-destroying war based on my dying obsession. So, ultimately, it's all my fault."
"Wait, according to you, so is that person good or bad?"
Han Bei frowned and asked.
Why is he getting more and more confused the more he listens?
So, is the zombie consciousness itself good or bad?
"It's both righteous and evil."
Su Yang spoke up.
Judging from this situation, that person is probably a strange individual.
Both righteous and wicked.
Just like the characters in novels, they cannot be distinguished simply as good or evil.
"I won't defend myself, because those things are already beyond redemption. Just like this time, I thought a new emperor had been born."
"I never expected it would be for this reason."
Savin chuckled softly.
It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
He believed that the lighthouse lighting up represented exploitation and oppression.
In reality, lighthouses today represent hope and redemption.
Perhaps we no longer need him to worry about so many things.
"I...I should go now. Thank you for allowing them to live with dignity. I will also take the zombies I brought with me."
That's all.
Savin spread his wings and leaped into the air.
Only his back was left behind.
"He's quite a surprise."
Watching Savin's departing figure, Han Bei couldn't help but speak.
This was the first time he had ever seen anything like it.
I originally thought we were going to have a big fight, but I never expected it to end like this.
Jiang Xiaolong watched the figure disappear from sight.
He stood there, stunned.
For a moment, they didn't even realize what was happening.
"Savin".
Jiang Xiaolong muttered to himself.
His expression was somewhat complicated.
How can he describe his current feelings?
Ultimately.
Savin was also a pitiful person.
His own family members were used as leverage by the emperor to threaten him.
After developing the zombie virus, they wanted to destroy it, but were betrayed by a villain.
And then later.
Make those zombies huddle together in one area.
Now, believing the emperor has been reinstated, they want to lead a large army to kill him.
Come and save them.
They are both pitiful people who are oppressed.
Jiang Xiaolong didn't even feel a trace of hostility.
Although it is unclear why the other party was able to retain human consciousness and even regain control of the body from the zombie consciousness.
But he knew very well that he wanted to do it.
It will certainly come at a considerable cost.
Soon after.
When everyone returned to the city wall to check the situation.
On the plains that were originally teeming with zombies.
Now it's empty, with only the marks of trampling remaining.
Everything was just as Savin had said.
These zombies that he brought here will eventually be taken away by him.
The people of Great Xia standing on the city wall at this moment.
They all remained silent.
They never expected things to turn out this way.
No one was injured or killed.
Savin's zombie army seemed to have come here merely to make a brief appearance.
"Dr. Su, do you think they're safe now?"
Han Bei couldn't help but look at Su Yang beside him.
He asked.
Since Savin still retains human consciousness.
They even mistakenly believed that an emperor had been born, and stormed the palace to take the emperor's head.
Does this mean...?
Jiang Xiaolong and his group.
Perhaps they no longer need their protection?
With that zombie king Savin around, most zombies probably will never come out in their lifetime.
"Maybe."
Su Yang did not give a definite answer.
Because Savin's situation, with two souls in one body, is simply too special.
Savin is indeed on the side of humanity now, but that's only because he has retained human consciousness.
If the zombie consciousness later seizes control of the body, where will things go from here?
