"This instance failed again." Jason said with a hint of regret.
The plot of this instance was undoubtedly coherent and visually captivating. The war between humans and zombies was especially impactful. The power system was also much stronger. However, in the end, they still hadn't developed Gene Serum 4.0.
"Still, even if humans don't fall into internal conflict, it would take a few more years to develop Gene Serum 4.0, wouldn't it?" Jason sighed lightly.
Gene Serum 4.0 was fundamentally different from previous versions. Even the inferior 3.5 version, despite its serious side effects, provided a substantial power boost after injection.
In the end, Frank and the others never reached the threshold for Gene Serum 4.0.
Well, according to humanity's normal development trajectory, even Gene Serum 1.0 might not be developed within the next hundred years," Jason mused. "The emergence of the MR virus has undoubtedly accelerated humanity's research in genetics.
[As the host lamented, the Zombie King had already taken control of the vast land, becoming the sole ruler. To prevent another Zombie King from threatening his reign, the Zombie King began slaughtering other Zombie Kings. The Zombie Nation descended into civil war.]
[The zombies began devouring one another in hopes of advancing further. The number of zombies rapidly decreased.]
"Looks like it's not just humans who love infighting, huh? Even zombies do, and it's even bloodier than human conflict," Jason said, amused by the sight.
"Without humans as external enemies or a delicious food source, zombies engage in the most brutal internal battles. In a way, that quality makes them stronger." he muttered.
When there are external enemies, they unite to destroy the humans first.
"But now, the zombie group consists entirely of Super Zombies. They all possess intelligence. It's like another bloodthirsty intelligent species," Jason continued, deep in thought.
Indeed, during the later stages of the war between humans and zombies, both sides had begun to use strategy and tactics. It was as if they were conducting military exercises.
"Intelligence or no intelligence, that's the real difference," Jason said, shaking his head. "It's not the monster's strength that's scary, it's its high IQ."
If zombies lacked intelligence, human survival wouldn't have been so difficult. With the help of advanced technology and nuclear weapons, humans could have wiped out the zombies. Without intelligence, they were just target practice.
After observing the infighting among the zombies, the system's voice rang out again.
[Time passed, and a massive meteorite fell on Blue Star, causing an extinction event. Even the Zombie King, in the face of this catastrophe, was as weak as an ant. The surviving humans, like Frank and others in the extreme cold, laughed bitterly as they faced the true end of the world. Eventually, all life on Blue Star perished in various natural disasters, and the planet entered millions of years of turmoil before finally settling into peace, with only bacteria, fungi, and blue algae remaining. As for the humans who survived on space stations, they too perished over time.]
"Tsk, is this the end again?" Jason clicked his tongue as he watched the apocalyptic scene, sighing.
The Zombie King could easily destroy cities, but ultimately, it couldn't resist an extinction-level catastrophe. Even hiding underwater wouldn't help. The impact was simply too terrifying.
The meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs was several kilometers in diameter, so this one, over forty kilometers wide, would certainly obliterate any life on Blue Star.
[Host, the simulation has concluded. Would you like to archive the results?]
The system's voice asked again.
"Archive it. Name the file 'Biochemical Apocalypse · Zero · Transcendent,'" Jason said slowly.
[Command successful. The file has been archived. Would you like to return to reality?]
"Return," Jason nodded.
In an instant, Jason felt his consciousness sway and his vision returned to the rented apartment.
This simulation was undoubtedly the most thrilling one yet. Even though he had returned, he still felt somewhat reluctant to leave.
[While the host was still lingering in thought, the system had already issued the rewards. The host has obtained the manufacturing method for the weakened virus serum, MR virus, MR virus serum, mutated MR virus, mutated MR virus serum, J virus, Gene Serum 2.0, Gene Serum 3.0, and the Central Version Gene Serum 3.5.]
"Is this a whole family pack of rewards?" Jason complained.
"System, what's the difference between the Central Version Gene Serum 3.5 and the original one?" Jason asked in his mind.
[After injection, the success rate is 100%. There are no side effects that consume life force or potential, but it won't enhance superpowers or grant new abilities.]
The system replied.
"Ah, I see." Jason raised an eyebrow.
The scariest part of Gene Serum 3.5 was its success rate, which was only one in a thousand. That was also one of the reasons for the internal conflict among humans. However, its effects were terrifying. The physique was enhanced a hundredfold compared to a new human, and superpowers became stronger with a chance of acquiring a second superpower.
The Transcendent's physique was certainly terrifying, but it was no match for the Zombie King.
The Transcendent's greatest strength still lay in the enhanced superpowers.
The Central Version, though, while lacking the superpower enhancement, was otherwise perfect in every aspect.
"Let me ask one more thing, will injecting Gene Serum 3.5 affect future injections of Gene Serum 4.0?" Jason inquired.
[It will not. The host should trust this system. Products from this system are always top-tier.]
The system confidently responded.
"Tsk." Jason clicked his tongue but couldn't help feeling satisfied as he went to the bathroom to inject the serum.
After a while, Jason felt a wave of comfort wash over him, his body's strength soaring to an extreme level. The rush of power gave him an indescribable thrill.
His physique was now over twenty thousand times stronger than an ordinary person's. It was an exaggerated number, he now had the strength to lift over two million pounds. He could easily crush mountains with his raw power.
Of course, he hadn't neglected to practice controlling his strength and developing his superpowers. He had spent a lot of time honing his skills in the simulated world, especially using zombies as practice.
Although his physique had skyrocketed, he no longer caused unintentional destruction like when he first injected Gene Serum 1.0.
The next day, after reading a book to pass the time, Jason decided to make one last attempt in the biochemical apocalypse world to see if humanity could finally develop Gene Serum 4.0 with his careful intervention.
If they couldn't, then he'd have to consider temporarily shelving this simulation world.
