Chapter 57 - Answers

While we were driving back to the motel, I asked the system a few questions.

'So, why are there mutations here?' I asked.

[Host had to be weakened to give you a true challenge, so the system dispersed almost all of your ki to the planet, and it caused around 1% of the population, living or undead to mutate with enhanced abilities or abilities unique to themselves] The system answered.

'Okay... so, is anyone else in the group mutated?' I asked.

[Three in the group are mutated, one enhanced and the other two with abilities unique to themselves] The system answered.

'...Can you tell me who they are?' I asked.

[No, the system cannot tell you] The system answered, much to my dismay.

'Crap...' I thought, annoyed.

"Hey, are you okay man?" Doug asked, "Is the bite acting up or something?"

"No, I was just thinking... do you think others in the group could be mutated?" I asked, "I mean, if it happened to me and that walker... why wouldn't it happen to others?"

"That's a good point man... maybe we should run some experiments or something," Doug said.

"Ah, well... Orochimaru could probably do that, he's good at experiments, especially when it comes to humans" I said.

"What? Why?" Doug asked.

"Well, he told me that to make the A.I's body, he had to make it as similar to a human as possible, so... he used some willing participants to run some tests... and before you ask, I don't know what sort of tests he did, he only said that he did the tests in a perfectly legal manner" I said, a small smile forming on my face.

"Well, alright then..." Doug said.

"So, Lee... how do you think the group's going to react at the sight of this haul?" I asked.

"Well, I'm of the personal opinion that they're going to be completely shocked and probably praising the four of us," Lee said with a grin.

"Well, that sounds pretty god damn nice," I said with a grin.

After about an hour, we finally made it back to the motel.
