"Let's move on." Lu Jie touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and then gave the order.
[Time passed quickly, and ten years had gone by in the blink of an eye. During this time, humanity had only managed to develop a mutated version of the MR virus serum due to insufficient research facilities. They had been unable to create a second-generation gene serum, and their research progress was frequently stalled, which made them anxious. However, they dared not send anyone out, fearful of the terrifying prospect of superhumans turning into super zombies.]
[At the same time, the mutated MR virus outside had gradually transformed a small portion of the Tyrant Zombies into Super Zombies. The world had once again entered an era where Super Zombies led regular Zombies in battles for territory and food resources.]
As the system's voice faded, Lu Jie used his consciousness to shift to different parts of the world, observing the battles between the zombies.
Although it was still a war between zombies for territory and resources, the intelligence of the Tyrants, a type of Super Zombie, was no more than that of a five-year-old child. In comparison, the Super Zombies transformed from superhumans had much higher intelligence, making the Tyrants look like mere pawns in their battles. Their wars were chaotic and crude, full of the simplest, bloodthirsty violence.
It was important to note that the Super Zombies created from superhumans had an intelligence starting at ten years old and continued to grow, while the Tyrant Zombies' intelligence remained at a very basic level. Thus, Tyrant Zombies were easily manipulated by their more intelligent counterparts, who used them merely as soldiers.
[Five years later, under the leadership of Elder Zhao and a team of top biologists, the second-generation Gene Serum was finally developed. It was named Gene Serum 2.0.]
[The birth of Gene Serum 2.0 brought immense joy to the superhumans. However, due to the low survival rate of only 30% and significant side effects, Elder Zhao and his team continued to improve the serum.]
[Another five years passed, and the researchers finally perfected Gene Serum 2.0, improving the survival rate to 90% and minimizing side effects. The new version was named Gene Serum 3.0.]
"I provided the mutated MR virus source, which took 20 years to successfully develop. Humans really have it hard," Lu Jie sighed.
However, considering the limited facilities, the fact that Elder Zhao and his team managed to create Gene Serum 3.0 was truly impressive.
"Now that we have Gene Serum 3.0, humanity truly has hope," Elder Zhao, much older but still spirited, said with a beaming face.
Having already taken Gene Serum XW, Elder Zhao and the others were considered superhumans with significantly extended lifespans, which was why they were able to complete this research. After all, nearly forty years had passed since the apocalypse began, and their ages were already advanced. Elder Zhao, for instance, was already 130 years old. Without the life extension from Gene Serum XW, he would have passed away long ago.
The effects of Gene Serum XW were astounding, but it couldn't compare to Gene Serum 3.0.
According to their rough calculations, after taking Gene Serum 3.0, a superhuman's physical abilities would be enhanced by over ten times. This was not compared to an ordinary person, but to a superhuman, meaning an increase of over 200 times the physical abilities of a regular human.
Gene Serum 3.0 also had a fascinating side effect: it could grant individuals extraordinary abilities.
Though the chances of developing superpowers were low, it was still a groundbreaking development, symbolizing humanity's next step in evolution.
"Gene Serum 3.0 really is an interesting thing," Lu Jie said with a look of genuine interest. It was hard to say he wasn't intrigued. After all, most people had once dreamed of having superpowers.
[Due to the complex process of producing Gene Serum 3.0, humanity spent nearly five more years ensuring everyone could be injected with it. Among the population, 2,535 people failed to survive the procedure, while the other 20,000 successfully evolved. Elder Zhao and the others referred to these individuals as the New Humans.]
[Among these 20,000 New Humans, 2,000 developed superpowers. Most of these abilities involved controlling elements like fire, water, earth, wind, thunder, and ice, while only a few had telekinesis. There were no powers related to rules or laws.]
[With their newfound strength, Elder Zhao and the New Humans could no longer sit idly by. With confidence radiating from their faces, they left the underground base and began to battle on the surface, just like they did 26 years ago, aiming to expel all zombies and reclaim their lost land.]
As the system finished speaking, Lu Jie's voice echoed in the air as he observed the New Humans slaughtering zombies with ease.
To be honest, this scene gave him a strange sense of déjà vu.
Indeed, humans had been like this 26 years ago.
However, the New Humans, after taking Gene Serum 3.0, were immensely powerful. Zombies posed no threat to them whatsoever.
[Five years later, with their terrifying strength, Elder Zhao and the New Humans had conquered every city in the Xuan Nation and slaughtered countless Super Zombies and regular Zombies. Among them, cities with populations in the millions, like Xuan City and Water City, had been completely obliterated by assembling 2,000 superpowered New Humans. They wiped out all the zombies in one fell swoop.]
As the system spoke, Lu Jie watched the devastating scenes of entire cities being destroyed, superpowers and coordinated attacks creating explosions that turned the sky crimson.
With 2,000 powerful superhumans, they had enough time to annihilate entire metropolises.
[After destroying the large cities and eliminating the Super Zombies in Xuan Nation, humanity began a period of recovery. They scattered across the land, guarding various regions, multiplying, and expanding their population, all while continuing to hunt and kill regular zombies across the nation.]
[As time passed, three more years went by. The population in Xuan Nation had grown exponentially due to unchecked reproduction. But, with the absence of any serious zombie threat, some of the New Humans began to develop ambitions. They started scheming to carve up territory and even considered ruling the world, becoming the new masters of this world.]
[As a result, conflicts began to arise among the New Humans. However, with the presence of Elder Zhao and others, as well as the ongoing threat of zombies across Blue Star, the New Humans could only contain their ambitions for the time being.]
The system's voice echoed again.
"This is humanity," Lu Jie shook his head.
After satisfying their hunger and desires, humans would begin to nurture their ambitions. This had always been the case throughout history.
Humans were the masters of internal strife, no doubt about it.
[And so, another year passed. The number of zombies in Xuan Nation had dwindled to nearly nothing. Zombie hordes from neighboring nations no longer posed much of a threat. Yet, the ambitions of the New Humans continued to grow. The most powerful superhumans began to entertain the idea of killing Elder Zhao and the leaders, intending to break the deadlock.]
[Before they could take action, however, an asteroid was about to crash to Earth!]
