He could feel an extra flicker of energy in her mind. Her human consciousness. This meant that the toxin did not wipe out the human consciousness from an infected -as was general knowledge- but rather put it in a dormant state.
He Yuan rushed out of his office and called in several zombies. In the end, he discovered that only the few zombies that had cultivated to a light brown core were capable of thinking in coherent sentences.
