The fighter jets arrived above the zombie horde first, launching various missiles. Meanwhile, heavy machine guns rained down fire.
In the face of this assault, the zombies fell in large numbers, like wheat being harvested, or were blasted away.
However, the primary targets, Lu Jie and the Tyrant Zombie, remained unscathed.
The heavy machine gunfire that hit the Tyrant Leader only sparked off flames, with a clinking sound as the bullets ricocheted. The explosions failed to harm the Tyrant Leader at all.
Lu Jie glanced at the fighter jets and ordered the Tyrant Leader to shoot them down.
In an instant, the Tyrant Leader roared, and numerous sharp bone spikes erupted from its body, shooting through the air and obliterating the jets, which exploded into fiery balls.
"What!?" Inside the base, a second-level officer watched this scene, his face filled with disbelief.
The carpet bombing from the missiles and the heavy machine guns had not harmed the mutated Tyrant in the slightest.
Moreover, the other strange zombie beside it was also unharmed.
This terrifying defense was far beyond even a super zombie.
Could it be a newly evolved zombie?
Or perhaps the MR virus had mutated again? Furthermore, these two zombies seemed to possess some form of intelligence, as they knew how to shoot down fighter jets.
Thinking this, the second-level officer's face turned ashen.
As he pondered this, the zombie horde was only about five to six kilometers away from the base.
"Tanks, fire!" At that moment, a third-level officer shouted angrily.
Immediately, the tanks in the front row opened fire, launching countless shells at the zombie horde. Explosions erupted everywhere, rapidly reducing the numbers of zombies.
After all, Lu Jie hadn't gathered too many zombies this time. There were only around 50 to 60 thousand.
Most of them were obliterated by the continuous bombardment.
However, the ordinary zombies were just a distraction, the real threat came from Lu Jie and the Tyrant Leader.
This distance meant that the tank shells could reach the zombies, but the Tyrant Leader could also retaliate.
Soon after, Lu Jie ordered the Tyrant Leader to launch its attack.
In an instant, countless bone spikes erupted from the Tyrant Leader's body like arrows, piercing the air and shooting toward the tank group and human base.
In a flash, numerous tanks were turned into pincushions, and inside the human base, casualties piled up.
"Damn monster!" The second-level officer was lucky not to be harmed, but the entire command room descended into chaos. His face turned grim as he watched.
"Roar!" However, before he could recover, a roar echoed around him, causing the second-level officer's face to freeze. He turned pale as he looked at the super zombies around him.
The colleagues who had been pierced by the bone spikes and turned into zombies were now all infected and turned into red-eyed super zombies.
In just a few seconds!?
Before the second-level officer could think further, his zombified colleagues began feasting on him, tearing him apart alive. He never even had a chance to become a zombie.
Throughout the entire base, similar scenes were unfolding.
The human base had completely fallen. Countless superhumans had been infected, turning into super zombies, which greatly strengthened the zombie side's power.
Super zombies created from superhumans were the greatest threat to humanity.
These zombies retained human knowledge and intelligence, and their combat power was terrifying. Their potential for evolution was also far greater, enough to make anyone shudder.
"Next, let's start attacking multiple bases simultaneously." Lu Jie squinted, leading the Tyrant Zombie as they disappeared into the distance, heading toward the next human base.
As for the super zombies, Lu Jie didn't care. What they chose to do was up to them.
But knowing how dangerous human technological weapons could be, they would likely lay low and evolve slowly.
For now, that was enough to pose a threat to humanity.
At the Xuan City Base, after hearing the news from the front lines, Elder of Xuan Nation's face turned ashen as he conversed with Elder Zhao over the internet.
"Elder Zhao, what's your take on this?" Elder of Xuan Nation asked gravely.
"It's similar to what happened last time... suddenly, a zombie appears that can pose a huge threat to humanity. But this time, the mutated Tyrant Zombie is much stronger. It can completely disregard missile bombardments, and its destructive power and attack range are far more exaggerated," Elder Zhao sighed.
"The mutated Tyrant Zombie is a threat, but I believe the real danger lies with that strange zombie in the video. The Tyrant Zombie is probably a low-level zombie controlled by it. In the video, it glanced at the fighter jets, and then the Tyrant Zombie immediately attacked them. The same thing happened when it attacked the base," Elder of Xuan Nation said, his face growing darker.
"It has astonishing intelligence, and its power is equally incredible. It can also ignore missile attacks."
"Zombies... have intelligence?" Elder Zhao's pupils contracted.
If zombies truly had intelligence, humanity's situation would be perilous.
In the past, humanity's dominance on Blue Star had been based on its intelligence.
If zombies were naturally stronger than humans and now had intelligence as well, humanity's advantage would be greatly diminished.
The gap between a zombie with intelligence and one without was vast.
Zombies without intelligence were nothing more than live targets, no matter how strong they were. But zombies with intelligence would learn, adapt, and progress. In the future, this would become a massive problem.
"Also, does their appearance mean that the virus has evolved again?" Elder Zhao felt a headache coming on. "If it has evolved, the tragedy from two years ago could repeat itself... even worse. Elder, I need samples of the mutated Tyrant Zombie and that strange zombie."
"Got it. I'll order their extermination at all costs." The Elder of Xuan Nation responded decisively. "Whether or not the virus has evolved, we must administer Gene Serum 1.0 to everyone. Otherwise, if we aren't fully prepared, things will get very troublesome."
These words made Elder Zhao admire him.
The Elder was indeed a reliable leader in critical times. He was the strongest pillar of Xuan Nation.
At that moment, the Elder of Xuan Nation's emergency hotline rang, causing his pupils to contract. He immediately answered the call.
"Elder, the mutated Tyrant Zombie and strange zombie have attacked another B-3 base. The B-3 base has been wiped out. At the same time, the soldiers who had been infected and turned into zombies in the B-1 base also slyly attacked multiple bases. Among them, the B-2 base has been completely wiped out. Although the remaining bases held their ground, they suffered severe losses."
"Our intelligence suggests that the superhuman soldiers who turned into zombies likely possess astonishing intelligence and retain some of their memories. They know the weaknesses of the bases," the informant said bitterly.
"What!?" The Elder of Xuan Nation stood up, his face turning pale.
Just a moment ago, they were speculating whether the strange zombie had intelligence. Now, even the superhuman soldiers who had turned into zombies had intelligence?
This was no longer a mere problem; this was an extreme crisis.
