Ji-won and Sung-sik often 61d688ebc8 found themselves at odds cfb49e6a9a over something.

Sung-sik, having experienced life d3d4d98a20 in the refugee camp, 171fe90ec3 found Bo-yeon’s behavior strange.

She seemed to have b4fad4deb0 no particular concerns, just 8a5bbb7fc2 like before the zombie 9df7452064 outbreak. Sung-sik suspected 79f11a8120 that Bo-yeon 8217170ab6 had been f4e1962474 protected by 37d98340d8 Do-kyung for 033127eaed a long 5e25b4cf9a time.e111572942ef15fc

“There are many hypotheses about where life began. Some suggest that if you trace the lineage of all living things—humans, animals, plants, even microorganisms—you eventually arrive at LUCA, the very first cell from which all life on Earth originated.”a94bab80f7ce1e1c

“There were scholars who believed that this cell, LUCA, was the seed of life on Earth that originated from space. To back up this story, there’s something called the pan-stellar theory². It is a hypothesis that microorganisms that flew in from space are the origin of life on Earth. Doesn’t that remind you of the meteorite that fell this summer? If you think about this hypothesis, ZB0 may be a microorganism that flew in from a different space than LUCA that settled on Earth.”10bb7989b0c80c8b
