Hearing Jiang Li speak so calmly, Luo Ying hurried to steady his mind and slow his ragged breathing, which had been made heavy by the intense movement earlier.
“I’ve always been wondering,” he said slowly, “what kind of change happened in the ocean to create something like the zombie virus. After years of gathering clues, there’s a bold guess I’ve formed… though maybe you won’t believe it.”
He paused for a moment.
“The zombie virus might have come from an alien planet.”
On Luo Ying’s planet, people had not yet advanced to interstellar migration and had never encountered extraterrestrial life. He didn’t know that within a single universe, there existed countless life-bearing planets. Luo Ying’s hypothesis was extremely bold, though few had accepted it.
He thought Jiang Li would surely be another skeptic.
“Oh,” Jiang Li replied politely.
Just aliens, that was all. Very normal—nothing worth fussing over.
