"Is it finally starting?" Lu Jie sat in mid-air, casually munching on popcorn and sipping cola, watching with great interest as the army below began its assault.
Hmm, you might wonder where the popcorn and cola came from. Well, of course, they were bought in the Xuan Nation. After all, this instance was unlike previous ones; it wasn't barren.
"System, what do you think the outcome will be if the Xuan Nation's army faces off against the mutated Tyrant Zombies?" Lu Jie casually asked.
[Host, are you sure you want to accelerate time?]
The system responded with a question.
"Well, never mind, I'll just watch it myself," Lu Jie shrugged.
Soon, under his gaze, the Xuan Nation's fighter jets were the first to fly overhead, launching missile after missile.
To everyone's shock, the mutated Tyrant Zombie, now grown to a terrifying height of twenty meters, seemed to have learned from its past mistakes. This time, it shot out bone spikes from its body to intercept the missiles midair.
Some of the bone spikes even took down several fighter jets.
"Damn it, this thing is really smart," a senior officer's face darkened as he gave the command. "It's evolved again. Recalculate the bone spike attack range and launch the freezing bombs outside its attack range!"
The fighter jets immediately ascended to much higher altitudes, and freezing bombs were launched one after another.
Not just the jets, tanks on the ground also began launching their attacks. Even if the bone spikes intercepted the freezing bombs, the thick liquid nitrogen leaking out would rapidly lower the temperature, freezing the muscles of the mutant Tyrant Zombie.
However, it was clear that this wasn't enough to stop the creature. Enraged, the Tyrant Zombie broke free, and its terrifying bone spikes shot out, piercing several tanks into swiss cheese.
At the same time, the zombie noticed the distant army. It roared and shot bone spikes straight towards them.
In an instant, the dense barrage of bone spikes devastated the army, causing severe casualties.
What was even more unexpected was that these bone spikes were infused with the highly contagious mutated MR virus. When they hit the soldiers, they turned into zombies within three seconds.
Even those who had received the Gene Serum 1.0 were not spared.
In fact, the superhumans were even worse off. The virus turned them into Super Zombies—terrifying creatures with intelligence greater than that of the mutated Tyrant Zombie, retaining fragments of their memories as humans.
"Humanity is done for," Lu Jie shook his head while munching on popcorn.
To be honest, the human army was actually a hindrance. They couldn't even get close to the mutated Tyrant Zombie, and even if they did, what would they do? Even fully armored superhumans couldn't hurt the Tyrant Zombie, it would just be a free meal for it—or they'd end up as zombies themselves.
Well, the senior officer was actually quite smart. He didn't send the army to the front line and kept them at a distance, giving orders from afar.
But no one expected that the Tyrant Zombie's combat intuition was so terrifying, and the range of its bone spike attack was absurd.
A six- or seven-kilometer range—too deadly.
Before they could retreat, most of them were taken down by the bone spikes, and those who weren't infected turned into zombies.
Of course, this was inevitable. The officers had calculated that regular fighter jets and tanks couldn't handle the Tyrant Zombie. Only a joint operation might succeed.
But they didn't expect the Tyrant Zombie's power to be so far beyond what they imagined.
"Did I go too far with this?" Lu Jie raised an eyebrow.
Truthfully, even he didn't expect the Tyrant Zombie to evolve to this level. Forget superhumans—at this point, even the most powerful new human with super abilities couldn't defeat this Tyrant Zombie.
If there were any beings that could defeat it, Lu Jie could only think of one.
The Zombie King.
That monster had survived for over sixty years, devouring vast amounts of flesh, even consuming other super zombies to evolve into a true city-destroying beast. A full-force attack from it could obliterate an entire metropolis.
And this Tyrant Zombie? How long had it been around? Most likely, its rapid evolution was due to the concentrated version of the mutated MR virus it was injected with.
"System, do you think the concentrated MR virus is too powerful?" Lu Jie said, speechless.
[System products are always top-tier.]
The system calmly replied.
"Geez, I really don't know whether this is a good or bad thing now," Lu Jie clicked his tongue.
At this rate, with the Tyrant Zombie's terrifying combat power, Xuan Nation's regular methods wouldn't be able to handle it. Even an intercontinental missile wouldn't be able to kill this Tyrant Zombie at its current level.
Maybe a high-yield intercontinental missile could wipe the field clean.
After all, this Tyrant Zombie could intercept missiles midair.
"Freaking Tyrant Zombie, plus a bunch of Super Zombies and Enhanced Zombies... How will Xuan Nation deal with this?" Lu Jie muttered.
Clearly, they couldn't ignore this. These creatures were too dangerous. However, the Tyrant Zombie was just a brute force machine. While it had intelligence, it was still quite limited. If Xuan Nation decided to go all in, they could probably deal with it using high-yield missiles.
But Super Zombies? That would be a different story.
Super Zombies had higher intelligence and understood human technological weapons. They'd behave like rats, hiding and ambushing.
"I guess it'll be a protracted war," Lu Jie finally concluded. "That's what I wanted."
"But before that, I'd better help Xuan Nation out," Lu Jie shook his head.
Below, the zombies were slaughtering the Xuan Nation soldiers, turning them into more zombies. If this continued, there was no way they'd get any MR virus samples back.
The only result would be the destruction of the army, the loss of tanks, and the retreat of the fighter jets.
Lu Jie let out a soft sigh and teleported in front of the Tyrant Zombie, invisible to both the zombies and the humans, carefully slicing off a portion of its flesh with a Thunder Blade and sealing it in a special glass tube.
Next, he set up a little "performance," handing the sample to a level-three officer and helping him escape.
Once that was sorted out, Lu Jie didn't intervene further.
Meanwhile, the scene below was closely monitored by Xuan Nation's high officials, including the Grand Elder.
The brutal, bloody battle made their faces darken, but when they saw the level-three officer escaping with the sample, they felt a mix of suspicion and slight relief.
Although the appearance of the sample was somewhat suspicious, they had no time to question it. As long as the sample was secured, the sacrifices would be worth it.
