After saying this, Xu Lin explained to everyone, "Based on the doomsday novels I've read, these zombies produce crystal cores in their brains. Su Ling must have been looking for crystal cores when she split open the zombies' heads."
Jiang Zhimin looked up from the corpse and asked Xu Lin, "Do you know what a crystal core looks like?"
Regarding Jiang Zhimin's question, Xu Lin shook his head. He scratched his head and replied, "How would I know? As I said, I'm making deductions based on novels I've read. Whether it's true or not is up for debate."
"Other things are hard to say, but what we can be sure of now is that there is definitely something in the zombies' heads, otherwise Su Ling wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to perform craniotomies on every zombie she dealt with."
"Secondly, the items in the mall can't disappear out of thin air. Su Ling must have a space. Our goal is to find Su Ling and propose cooperation. The world outside has changed, and we need a teammate like her to guarantee our supply of doomsday provisions."
Zhang Miaomiao usually didn't read novels much, and the TV shows she watched were idol dramas and romance dramas.
Now, hearing Xu Lin say these things, she felt completely bewildered, as if listening to the heavens.
The thought that Su Ling would eventually join their team made her resist and feel very uncomfortable.
However, since the others agreed, she couldn't show her feelings too obviously.
Compared to Zhang Miaomiao, Jiang Zhimin could engage with Xu Lin and the others' conversation much better. She frowned in thought, then made a bold guess, "You say Su Ling is so powerful, clearing out the zombies in the mall by herself and managing to retreat unharmed. Could she be a重生者 (reborn person)?"
Before Xu Lin and the others could retort, Jiang Zhimin analyzed, "You need to understand that when we were in the supermarket downstairs, it took the combined efforts of the three of you to deal with the zombies, and other survivors helped.
"But Su Ling, she did it alone, with one knife, by herself, handling zombies that should have required multiple people. Based on this alone, I suspect the possibility of her being a重生者 is very high. She might have been reborn from the doomsday world and prepared early. That's why she can fight alone under the doomsday and doesn't need teammates."
If Su Ling were present and heard Xu Lin and Jiang Zhimin's analysis, she would have couldn't help but give them a thumbs-up.
Jiang Zhimin and Xu Lin were truly very intelligent, able to break free from limitations and think outside the box. It was truly impressive.
The more people like this, the more dangerous they were.
If they couldn't become friends, they would indeed be a significant security risk.
Unfortunately, Su Ling had already left and could not hear this conversation.
"That's unlikely," Xu Lin countered Jiang Zhimin's speculation. He offered his own view, "Don't judge a book by its cover, and never be misled by gender. Anyone, before their strength is revealed, should not be underestimated. As for Su Ling, I tend to believe she was already a capable, unique, and independent person before the apocalypse."
"As for being a重生者, I think the possibility is slim. After all, we have such capable young ladies in our unit."
Xu Lin actually agreed with Jiang Zhimin's speculation, but for some reason, he came forward and denied her viewpoint.
Perhaps, he himself didn't understand why.
In any case, he just felt that they shouldn't probe too deeply into Su Ling.
This behavior, to be honest, was quite excessive.
She hadn't provoked them, yet they were relentlessly pursuing her, approaching her with impure intentions, and even bringing her trouble and annoyance.
Li Yunlong and Chen Jiakai strongly agreed with Xu Lin's view, "Some of our female colleagues in the unit are very capable, and we are no match for them. This is not the time to discuss these matters, but to quickly go after Su Ling. The longer we delay, the more likely we are to lose contact with her."
