For the ruthless tactics of the Elders of the Xuan Nation, Lu Jie was also surprised.
There was no mercy at all—cold-heartedly abandoning billions of people worldwide, even using this opportunity to absorb talents from various countries and completely control the high echelons of those nations.
As long as they slowly kill off the zombies, they could unify the world.
What a clever move.
Lu Jie admired their methods.
However, admiration aside, he had no intention of giving up on his own plan.
He wanted to see if this time he could make a breakthrough and have the people of this world develop Gene Serum 4.0.
[As Host pondered, time passed for another month. During this time, anyone trying to sneak into the Xuan Nation was ruthlessly killed—planes were shot down, ships sunk, and no one survived. Eventually, the MR virus spread worldwide. Except for a few isolated infections in the Xuan Nation that were quickly suppressed, the population of other countries was mostly turned into zombies.]
"Wait, what about the people in the survival bases?" Lu Jie asked.
Something seemed off. In the original timeline, people from the major powers had at least struggled in the survival bases, but they had all been wiped out after the riots caused by the Spark Plan.
[The high-ranking officials of various countries did not initiate the Spark Plan, abandoning the citizens. After receiving the virus serum sent by the Xuan Nation, they fled to the Xuan Nation with their elite talents. The high-ranking officials were separated and kept under house arrest, while the elite talents were formally accepted. However, the extremists were also imprisoned.]
"I see," Lu Jie raised his eyebrows.
The high-ranking officials of various nations were just as ruthless. They directly abandoned their people.
But it made sense. Though the Xuan Nation sent some serums, it only saved a small portion of the people.
Even if they weren't turned into zombies, living in a zombie paradise would be a miserable existence. Fleeing to the safe Xuan Nation seemed like the better option.
Although they had lost their former power, at least they could live in peace.
Of course, the premise was that they behaved and didn't stir up trouble, or else they would still die.
Everyone understood this.
This was probably all accounted for by the Xuan Nation's Elders.
The Elders of the Xuan Nation were truly ruthless characters—people who could accomplish great things.
Lu Jie raised his eyebrows.
Then, Lu Jie traveled around the world, also observing trends online.
He found that the comments were all praising the Xuan Nation and the Elders.
A small group of people still acted self-righteous, criticizing the high-ranking officials of the Xuan Nation for being bloodthirsty and heartless, but they were viciously attacked.
"Come on, if it weren't for the Xuan Nation developing the virus serum, you'd be here blabbering? You'd already be a zombie."
Not appreciating your own country, but speaking for foreign nations, really doesn't make any sense.
Of course, Lu Jie was just casually looking at these online discussions and had no other intentions.
At the same time, he also checked various borders.
The Xuan Nation had strict border controls. As soon as any zombie appeared, it was immediately shot dead, no negotiation.
Also, the mountain villages and other places that were hard to manage were ruthlessly cleaned up to prevent any major problems.
With ample preparation, the Xuan Nation had barely any major issues, and even small problems were easily dealt with.
"Next, will the Xuan Nation launch nuclear missiles? That's the real question," Lu Jie observed with great interest.
If they did launch nuclear missiles, reclaiming the world would be much easier, but the nuclear radiation would likely cause the MR virus to mutate and evolve.
It would depend on whether the Xuan Nation's scientists had considered this.
Lu Jie personally leaned toward the idea that the Xuan Nation would launch nuclear missiles.
Living a peaceful life was essentially impossible if they wanted to develop Gene Serum 4.0.
Even in such extreme circumstances, Elder Zhao had spent more than a decade to develop Gene Serum XW, and it took another 20 years to develop Gene Serum 3.0.
Gene Serum 4.0 hadn't even appeared yet.
Of course, the situation now was different.
The Xuan Nation had basically preserved itself and wasn't lacking in resources or facilities.
They had even gathered high-end talents from around the world, and working together would undoubtedly lower the difficulty significantly.
Perhaps they could even develop it.
Hmm, if progress didn't speed up, Lu Jie would give them a push.
Though it might seem ruthless, after so many simulations, Lu Jie had witnessed the deaths of billions of people and was no longer emotionally affected by scenes of death.
[As Host's thoughts became more and more extreme, a year passed. During this year, under the efforts of the Xuan Nation's high-ranking officials, the situation was completely stabilized. At the same time, because Elder Zhao discovered the impact of the virus serum on human genes, the Elders of the Xuan Nation ordered all the biochemical researchers to work together on studying the MR virus and its serum, with unlimited funding, making it the most important research project in the Xuan Nation.]
[Ten years later, the situation had changed. During these ten years, the Xuan Nation Elders took a steady approach, slowly reclaiming the world. In ten years, they had wiped out the zombies in the countries of the Yazhou continent, occupying vast lands and resources, leading the Xuan Nation into an era of national prosperity.]
[At the same time, Elder Zhao and others used the virus serum to develop Gene Serum 1.0, also known as Gene Serum XW. Its powerful effects made them overjoyed, and they hailed it as a miraculous product. The Xuan Nation's Elders and high-ranking officials were equally ecstatic.]
[Because of the appearance of Gene Serum 1.0, the physical health and lifespan of the Xuan Nation's high-ranking officials and scientists were enhanced. They all believed that the MR virus was both a catastrophe and an opportunity. Especially the Elders of the Xuan Nation, who even thanked the MR virus and the Host. Without the MR virus and the Host, they wouldn't have been able to develop Gene Serum 1.0, and they wouldn't have gained improved health and longevity.]
[However, despite the development of Gene Serum 1.0, the Xuan Nation's high-ranking officials strictly controlled its distribution, concealing its existence to avoid any major issues. Only those who were truly loyal to the country or high-end talents could receive the injection.]
The system explained extensively.
"....." Lu Jie frowned slightly.
With dozens of times more high-end talents and fully sufficient resources, it took nearly eleven years to develop Gene Serum 1.0. This speed was far too slow.
In the original worldline, the remaining elite from the Xuan Nation, starting from zero, spent five years to develop the virus serum, and then spent another ten years to develop Gene Serum XW, which was Gene Serum 1.0.
"Sure enough, only in dire circumstances can humanity unleash its greatest potential."
Lu Jie narrowed his eyes slightly.
