"Next, let's replicate the actions of the Super Zombie from the Overachiever Arc," Lu Jie said as he tossed aside an apple, grinning. "The Zombie Horde is coming!"
In an instant, Lu Jie vanished from his spot.
After three months of preparation, Lu Jie, controlling the Zombie Lord and Super Zombies, gathered a vast majority of the undead from the entire Haiya Continent. He even reached out to the zombies from the Youzhou Continent.
A total of 3 billion zombies were now marching toward the ten major bases from all directions.
The scale of this outbreak was even more terrifying than the one in the Overachiever Arc.
Meanwhile, under Lu Jie's command, the zombies were much smarter than those in the previous arc. They didn't form dense clusters that could be wiped out by a single nuclear strike. Instead, Lu Jie had them spread out and attack in waves.
As for Lu Jie himself, he was naturally leading the charge at the front, having transformed into the Zombie King.
This massive assault was quickly noticed by the Xuan capital. The ten major bases held an emergency meeting, their faces grim.
The Grand Elder of the Xuan Nation stared at the live footage of Lu Jie. The main screen displayed a zoomed-in image of him.
After a heated discussion, the decision was made to use a nuclear strike.
"To counter this bizarre movement of the zombies, we must eliminate the threat at its source. This new type of zombie leader, who can command so many zombies and even knows how to distribute them, is far too strange. He is the Zombie King." The Grand Elder's voice was cold.
"We must wipe out this human threat completely. Not only do we need to use a nuclear strike, but we should launch ten missiles!" he ordered.
"Ten? That's excessive!" One of the high-ranking officials winced. "With the power of a nuclear missile, one should be enough to obliterate any zombie. Ten is overkill, and it's too risky!"
According to Elder Zhao's analysis, the nuclear strikes could cause the MR virus to mutate again. The radiation from bombing such a large area could trigger horrific evolutionary changes in the virus.
"Trust me, we need that many. Not just bombs, but we must cover the widest possible area," the Grand Elder insisted, his eyes locked onto the image of Lu Jie on the screen.
This so-called Zombie King was a problem. The Grand Elder even suspected that he might be the world's Observer, manipulating events to his advantage.
Whenever humanity seemed to stabilize, something worse appeared.
If there's no problem here, who would believe it?
The other elders, after some hesitation, agreed with the Grand Elder's plan. The decision was made.
Once the bombs were launched, humanity's top leadership was prepared for the worst.
Soon, satellites locked onto Lu Jie's location, and ten nuclear warheads shot into the sky, heading straight for him.
[The Host is leisurely leading the zombies on their journey while humans launch ten nuclear missiles to obliterate you. The Grand Elder hopes to use this to eliminate you once and for all.]
The system's voice rang out.
"Well, looks like the Grand Elder is really enthusiastic," Lu Jie chuckled as he raised an eyebrow, amused.
Ten nuclear bombs launched all at once. Impressive. The Grand Elder sure knows how to put on a show.
"Well, if he's going to be this eager, I guess I'll have to cooperate," Lu Jie thought. With a grin, he turned to face the sky, bracing himself for the nuclear assault.
He knew full well that he couldn't stop the bombs, but he could enter an invincible state. It was simple enough.
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
"Seven!"
"Six!"
"Five!"
"Four!"
The countdown echoed through the command room, and everyone's eyes were glued to the screens. Tension was palpable. The Grand Elder clenched his fists.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Zero!"
Boom!!!
At the moment the countdown ended, a blinding light engulfed the screen. Everything was obscured by an immense explosion. A terrifying shockwave rippled out, and a mushroom cloud rose high into the sky.
The shock and horror were immediately felt across the ten bases.
"Did they use nuclear bombs!?"
"What's happening? Why are they using nukes?"
"Is another catastrophe happening? When will all of this end?"
"We're like the humans inside the walls of Attack on Titan, living like cattle..."
The overwhelming majority of people felt an enormous sense of despair. Life under the apocalypse was unbearable.
They had fantasized about becoming powerful, imagining a world where they were the protagonist, perhaps even surrounded by thousands of admirers. But now, in this post-apocalyptic world, even with some superhuman abilities, life wasn't as glorious as they'd imagined. The future seemed hopeless, and they longed for the peaceful days before the fall.
But the leaders of humanity weren't thinking about their personal struggles. They were all fixated on the screens, waiting for results.
Half an hour later, the screen cleared, and the damage caused by the nuclear strikes became visible.
The ground was scorched black, with massive craters everywhere. In the core blast zone, the zombies had been vaporized by temperatures exceeding millions of degrees. Those outside the blast range were killed by the shockwaves.
However, to the shock of all, including the Grand Elder, Lu Jie stood unharmed at the center of the explosion. The ground around him was scorched, yet he smiled at them, his grin eerie and full of mockery.
"Ugh…" Many of the high-ranking officials could only swallow nervously, their faces ashen, eyes wide in disbelief.
"Are you kidding me? Ten nuclear bombs, and this monster is still alive!?" one of them shouted, incredulous.
"He's not dead. He's completely unharmed." Elder Zhao said bitterly.
"What should we do now, Grand Elder? Should we keep bombing him?" One of the officials looked to the Grand Elder, seeking guidance.
The Grand Elder's expression darkened as he maintained his composure.
"There's no need to waste any more nuclear bombs." His tone was flat. "Forget about him. Use the bombs on the other zombies. Launch intercontinental missiles if necessary. We can't let the horde get too close to the bases."
"That's all we can do," the other officials murmured, their faces lined with frustration.
The world's Observer. What exactly is he trying to achieve? Why does he keep pushing humanity to the brink of destruction?
The Grand Elder's gaze remained locked onto Lu Jie's image, his teeth gritted in anger. After witnessing the devastation of the nuclear attack, he was now absolutely certain that the Zombie King was none other than the world's Observer, taking on a new form.
All the upheavals that had occurred were likely orchestrated by him. Even the outbreak of the apocalypse itself—was it his doing?
This man was a living demon.
