Chapter 161 Setting Sail

Finally, all of Li Chenzhou’s survivors, along with those selected by James, totaling over three hundred, nearly four hundred people, set off in a mighty convoy, driving out of the town and heading towards the port!

On the way, those chosen by James looked at Mike and the others with some surprise, because they discovered that Mike and the others, who had followed Li Chenzhou to the capitol building, seemed quite relaxed on the road, sitting in the car with the windows open, chatting casually, and bursting into laughter from time to time!

Good heavens, what were they doing? Did they know that they had already entered the city and that there might be enhanced zombies lurking somewhere, yet they dared to speak so loudly?

Before, when they were escaping from the city, they had been extremely careful, not to mention chatting or talking, even walking was done on tiptoe, as if they were sneaking into someone else's house to steal something!

Even those who had been persuaded by Mike to follow Li Chenzhou and sail to the East on a warship were now filled with fear, constantly looking around, afraid that a zombie would rush out from somewhere!

Some were even regretting their decision to agree to follow Mike and sail to the East on a warship! But now that they were already in the car, they couldn't bring themselves to say they regretted it, so they could only wait anxiously in the car.

However, as it turned out, everyone's worries were unnecessary. No matter how noisy Mike and the others were, the convoy did not encounter any zombies along the way. They even stopped at a market they encountered on the road, found a few trucks, filled them with goods from the market, and still no zombies appeared, as if the zombies in this city had all disappeared!

"Newbies, get out of the car, let's get to work!"

Mike was the first to jump out of the car, shouting loudly. Returning to the port was his domain, because he was a soldier on the warship, so Li Chenzhou entrusted him with the responsibility of organizing the warship.

Mike patted his chest and guaranteed that he would take apart all the parts that could be removed from the other warship, and fill the warship with supplies, so that Li Chenzhou could rest assured.

Because Mike was the first to join Li Chenzhou, and he would also set off with the warship, and Li Chenzhou had even appointed him as the captain of the warship, Li Chenzhou was very confident in him.

Therefore, after arriving at the port, Li Chenzhou didn't bother with what Mike and the others were doing, and directly called for Gray Bear and Nicholas.

Nicholas had said before that he had seen pictures of the Devourer, and the pictures and information that his teacher had sent him were stored in his computer, so after returning to the port, Li Chenzhou couldn't wait to see that picture.

Back on the warship, Nicholas led Li Chenzhou and Gray Bear to the biological laboratory on the ship and turned on the computer. The power supply on the warship came from the ship's own generator, so as long as there was fuel, the warship would not be without power.

When Nicholas clicked on the picture of the Devourer fossil, Li Chenzhou immediately saw the fossil photo of the Devourer and was stunned. Then, he leaned forward and carefully looked at the fossil picture, a trace of disbelief appearing in his eyes.

Gray Bear felt that Li Chenzhou's reaction was a bit strange, so he also looked at the picture, but did not find anything wrong.

It was just a photo of a fossil that had just been excavated from the ground. The photo was very clear, with a fossil of a human-shaped creature on it. This human-shaped creature was not complete, not only missing an arm, but also having a large hole in the center of its brow.

"What's wrong?"

Gray Bear looked at the picture, then looked at Li Chenzhou. Li Chenzhou took a deep breath, looked at Gray Bear, but did not answer. He just took out his long staff, and then asked Nicholas to set the picture to a 1:1 scale, and then pointed the staff at the screen, placing it over the pierced position on the fossil skull.

"Hiss..."

The next moment, Gray Bear and Nicholas both gasped, because... the thickness of Li Chenzhou's staff was exactly the same as the size of the hole pierced in the fossil skull, as if the hole in the skull had been pierced by this staff!

"Head, you... you're not going to tell me that this hole... was made by you!"

Gray Bear said in a trembling voice.

He realized something from Li Chenzhou's actions, but in his heart, he could not believe it. He understood the text here, so he also saw what was written on the information next to the picture.

It was written very clearly, in addition to warnings and secrets, it also introduced the origin of this fossil.

This fossil was excavated in this city, and it was five years ago, when the apocalypse had not even happened yet.

Especially, according to the introduction of the text, they determined that the formation of this fossil should have been at least one million years ago!!!

One million years ago, what era was that? There were no humans on this planet yet!

"Let Nicholas use the equipment to calculate the degree of matching between this arm and the broken arm of this corpse!"

Li Chenzhou did not answer. In fact, he himself found it hard to believe, so he took out the arm again and handed it to Nicholas, while saying to Gray Bear.

Gray Bear quickly translated for Nicholas. Nicholas had a strange expression on his face, but he still went over and put the arm in a machine to scan it, and then began to compare it with the picture!

"Oh my god, this is impossible!!!"

Soon, Nicholas let out a voice full of fear and shock. He pointed at the screen and shouted:

"The result after the comparison is that the degree of matching between the arm we have and the fossil corpse in the picture... reaches ninety-one percent!!!"

"Ninety-one?"

Gray Bear looked at Nicholas, not quite understanding.

"Bear, do you know what this means? This is a fossil. No matter how well it is preserved, there will definitely be some damage. And under this premise, a ninety-one percent match is basically equivalent to one hundred percent!!!"

Nicholas shouted, pointing at the screen and yelling:

"Look, whether it's from the length, the marks on the break, or the comparison of the shapes, the matching degree between our broken arm and the corpse in the picture is very high.

Even, if this arm were turned into a fossil, everyone would believe that this arm originally came from this fossil, that they were one and the same, do you understand?"

"But... how is this possible???"

Gray Bear also shouted, grabbing the Devourer's arm and sending it to Nicholas:

"Look closely! This was just cut off from a creature, the skin hasn't even rotted yet, it's still very fresh, and the other one is a fossil, and you're telling me they're one and the same?"

"Bear! I don't believe it either, but... the result of the comparison is like this!"

Nicholas also replied with a constipated expression, while turning his head to look at Li Chenzhou...
