[The Elder judged that the Zombie King was the host in disguise, and believed that the outbreak of the biochemical apocalypse was a grand conspiracy. The appearance of the MR virus was also the host's doing. Everything was under the host's control. However, he didn't have the guts to expose it, so he could only endure and order the continued bombing of other zombie locations.]
"... There is indeed a conspiracy, but what do you mean by the MR virus being my doing?" Landon's mouth twitched.
Damn it, although he had been manipulating the war between humans and zombies to force humans into faster evolution, the appearance of the MR virus had nothing to do with him, alright? That was all the fault of the damn system.
[... As the host complained, a year had passed. During this year, the indiscriminate use of nuclear bombs by humans led to a mutation of the virus into the J-virus, which caused the zombies to evolve at an even faster pace. Lord-level zombies began to appear in large numbers.]
[However, Lord-level zombies posed no significant threat to the human steel bases. It was the presence of the host that made humans increasingly wary. During this year, they managed to develop Gene Serum 3.0.]
[Another year passed, and humans had injected the Gene Serum 3.0 into six million soldiers of the ten major bases, forming the strongest new human army. The ten major bases became impregnable. Meanwhile, a Zombie King evolved on the zombie side. However, this Zombie King was promptly obliterated by the Elder with nuclear bombs.]
"Pfft... Gene Serum 3.0 developed in just one year? That's fast," Landon was stunned.
It seemed his pressure was quite effective.
Of course, the strength of humanity's forces in this world was far stronger than any simulated world, so that was probably one reason. After all, the current human population was over six or seven hundred million.
How do you feed that many people?
Well, the Elder deserved some credit. Over the years, with stable air superiority, he'd managed to clear most of the zombies in the Dali continent, and large-scale food production was underway.
Dali had vast land and sparse population, which worked out nicely for Landon. He didn't cause any trouble there.
"But this Zombie King... he must be the unluckiest one in history," Landon said, his eyes twitching.
In all the previous iterations, the first Zombie King ruled Blue Star and even created a zombie harem, truly a winner in the zombie world. The second one wreaked havoc inside the steel base and had to be repelled by sacrificing thousands of new human superpower users.
And this third one... damn, he was nuked the moment he appeared.
The Elder in this version was seriously something else.
Well, maybe he was just too scared to leave any visible threats right under his nose.
[As Landon marveled at the situation, fifty years passed. During these fifty years, human forces frequently bombed the Zombie Kings, which caused radiation to intensify significantly. Eventually, the speed of Zombie King births accelerated, and the Elder realized this, stopping the use of nuclear weapons. As a result, over these fifty years, the number of Zombie Kings increased significantly, and even a Zombie Emperor appeared.]
[However, humanity was not sitting idly by. In the thirty-fifth year, they successfully developed Gene Serum 3.5. With their large population, the Elder was easily able to get a large number of humans to voluntarily inject the serum. As a result, humanity's transcendents were never in short supply, and they replaced old generations with new ones, becoming the protectors of humanity, etched into the heroic monuments.]
[The war between humans and zombies was fierce but remained balanced, achieving the result the host wanted.]
[In fact, humans could have actively wiped out all the Zombie Kings and the Zombie Emperor. However, the Elder was always wary of the disappearance of the host and chose to remain passive. This left many high-ranking humans confused, but given the Elder's authority and decisive past, they assumed there was a reason he couldn't disclose, so they all refrained from questioning him.]
"Nice, nice. This is how a behind-the-scenes boss should act," Landon muttered. "Giving off a mysterious, dangerous vibe so that no one dares to act rashly... this balance is well done."
[As Landon mused, another five years passed. During these five years, Gene Serum 4.0 made no progress, which caused humans great frustration. Biochemists like Elder Zhao, who had been researching for twenty years, felt extremely dissatisfied, but they had to admit that Gene Serum 4.0 was a completely new field, and there was no way they would break into it within a century.]
[At the same time, humans discovered a giant asteroid in space that would hit Blue Star in two years. The human high command panicked and began preparations to resist the asteroid.]
"The asteroid is coming? I wonder if humans can stop it," Landon mused, sitting cross-legged in the air.
The asteroid, 40 kilometers in diameter, was far too large for current human technology to deal with, even with nuclear bombs. The only way to change its trajectory was to control nuclear fusion and try to deflect it in space. Trying to destroy it directly was unrealistic.
[Two years passed in the blink of an eye. Humans launched numerous nuclear bombs into space. However, despite their best efforts, they only managed to blow off a layer of the asteroid's outer surface, failing to destroy it. Following this, humans and zombies' high-end forces and core troops cooperated, setting aside their enmity to try and break the asteroid apart.]
[The scene was spectacular, but ultimately, it was futile. Despite the combined efforts of humans and zombies, the asteroid continued on its path toward Blue Star. The terrifying shockwave wiped out the vast majority of humans and zombies, and the subsequent disasters continued for millions of years. Blue Star went through a great cleansing, and millions of years later, only bacteria, fungi, and blue algae remained. The humans who had taken refuge in space stations eventually grew old and died, leaving only the knowledge of humanity stored in the space stations.]
"System," Landon squinted, a playful glint in his eyes. "There's something off about this asteroid. With so many nuclear bombs and over ten million super-powered humans working with zombies, you're telling me they only managed to blow off a little bit of its outer layer?"
[The asteroid, having shifted its orbit, was composed of materials harder than steel. Combined with the terrifying impact when it fell, it was impossible for humans and zombies to destroy it. To shatter it, you would need star-shattering power.]
The system explained.
"Tch." Landon clicked his tongue.
This system was really quite devious.
