An enormous amount of flesh and blood flowed from the elevator shaft and stairwell.
The Law of Conservation of Energy? How did you manage to expand to such a massive size? Wang Linchi couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
But now was not the ti to address these issues; the priority was to kill this zombie first.
"Hungry..."
The Mutated Zombie, transford from ffidia, not only possessed a powerful body but had also inherited ffidia’s spiritual power.
The spilled flesh and blood gradually fused, becoming an even more distorted mass. Wang Linchi could even see many bones and clothes on its surface. Apparently, it had devoured the personnel and corpses from the thirteenth basent level before coming up. If it devoured Wang Linchi next, it would then proceed upwards to consu the remaining forty-nine floors as well.
As the Saint Master was about to attack, UV lamps suddenly switched on.
Obviously, the higher-ups had also beco aware of the threat posed by the ffidia zombie and wanted to obliterate it. As for Wang Linchi, that was a secondary concern. They figured he was just one person; how could he pose a greater threat than the zombie? Especially since they were well aware of ffidia’s terrifying nature, hence their decision to act now.
The mont the UV lamps switched on, the gigantic flesh zombie, unsurprisingly, began to lt, albeit at an extrely slow pace.
"It’s adapting and evolving. We might soon see the first zombie that’s immune to UV light," Wang Linchi said, looking towards a cara.
Upon hearing this, the higher-ups hiding behind the cara started to panic. They could manage people and play financial gas, but when it ca to combat and research, they were completely out of their depth.
"Eliminate it," an authoritative voice ca through. "I can make the call: I’ll give you one percent of the shares in Dawn Watch and let you join the Shareholders’ eting."
...He had absolutely no interest in shares or joining any Shareholders’ eting. What was the fun in playing a ga of corporate power in a zombie wasteland? Even if he won, so what?
"Get lost."
Wang Linchi cursed back sharply. This seed to provoke them, as the UV lights abruptly shut off. It appeared they intended to teach Wang Linchi a lesson.
Without the UV light, ffidia recovered instantly. The damage caused by the UV rays began to heal rapidly, though its body had shrunk considerably.
Seeing this, the Saint Master imdiately launched an attack. Both the Dragon Talisman and the Pig Talisman were activated. Along with basic punches and kicks, these left the ffidia Mutated Zombie battered and bloody, crying out in pain. The main issue was that the previous UV light attack had severely weakened it, and it still hadn’t completely recovered.
Zombies that were once human still had brains. Even if they only possessed the intellect of a three-year-old, so response was expected when they felt pain. Resistance is a response, but so is cowering in a corner.
anwhile, Wang Linchi collected samples of blood and flesh from ffidia’s zombified body. With the Saint Master attacking, gore was bound to splatter everywhere. With such trendous force, ffidia was almost reduced to a bloody paste.
Even so, ffidia was not yet dead. Wang Linchi could sense its faint life force. If given enough ti, it would definitely recover. It was incredibly resilient. If ffidia were given enough ti to develop, its special constitution post-zombification would be terrifying. It could form a perfect synergy with the GOD virus, becoming a powerful zombie devoid of weaknesses and possessing unlimited evolutionary potential. Of course, this was a dium Secret Zone; even the strongest had their limits.
Seeing that he had collected enough, Wang Linchi used Fanciful and Fickle to extinguish ffidia’s last spark of life.
The Saint Master followed suit, using the Dragon Talisman to spray fire, burning the flesh to ashes, leaving nothing for the Dawn Watch Company.
"You destroyed the company’s most valuable experintal subject!"
"Do you know how much value you’ve cost us?"
An enraged voice ca through the surveillance cara, filled with fury towards Wang Linchi.
Upon hearing this, Wang Linchi just nodded. "Ah, then you should call the police."
It’s an apocalyptic Secret Realm, and they’re still playing these corporate gas? He felt he had to teach these arrogant shareholders a lesson.
After saying this, he destroyed the surveillance cara and then planted a large amount of explosives on the first floor.
The shareholders of Dawn Watch Company had no idea what Wang Linchi was up to, but they knew it wouldn’t be anything good. So, they forcefully used the control chips implanted in all their employees, ordering them to investigate. Even if it ant risking their lives, they had to ensure the shareholders’ safety. It was precisely because of these control chips that they could possess such a fortress-like skyscraper as their playground. Sadly, they were still one step too late.
The company employees weren’t security personnel. They had average physical conditioning, and without the aid of exoskeletons, it would take them ti to run down from over ten or twenty floors.
BOOM.
The first floor exploded, causing the entire building to tilt. The surrounding ultraviolet lamps also began to malfunction and go out one by one.
As the building collapsed, the area beca a scene of desolation. With the ultraviolet lamps shattered, the zombies in the darkness lost their fear and crazily surged towards the building.
Wang Linchi had long fled. While running, he even picked up two Excellent Level Soul Kinds. One had condensed from ffidia, and the other was likely an event reward.
The Soul Kind from ffidia was also a Poison type, nad Toxin Fusion, which could fuse the toxins of other Poison type Soul Kinds into a completely new toxin. The other was an earth-type Shockwave, capable of releasing an invisible shockwave upon use.
He figured that Soul Kinds condensed from zombies were most likely Poison type. He guessed the GOD virus, when integrated into Great View’s Secret Realms, was classified as a Poison type, leading to this assimilation.
When Wang Linchi left, he had disguised his aura, so the zombies largely ignored him, rushing towards the building instead. The building’s collapse released a strong sll of blood, greatly stimulating the zombies’ senses.
"Eh? So people are still alive?" Wang Linchi looked up at the sky as a helicopter whizzed past overhead.
The markings on the helicopter confird it belonged to the Dawn Watch Company.
WHOOSH.
As Wang Linchi watched, the helicopter fired two missiles, and they were heading straight for him.
His disguise could deceive low-intelligence zombies, but it couldn’t fool humans. Since he was so conspicuously out in the open, their revenge was inevitable.
The Saint Master used the Pig Talisman to detonate the missiles before they could reach him. The loud explosion in mid-air naturally attracted the attention of the zombies digging through the rubble. The light was dazzling, making the zombies instinctively associate it with the Sun, and they scattered in all directions.
Afterward, the Saint Master brought Wang Linchi into the helicopter.
The Saint Master had his arm around a man in a sharp suit, likely a major shareholder of the company, who was trembling with fear. When an ordinary person had a monster’s arm around their shoulder, its sharp claws resting right on their neck, who wouldn’t be terrified?
"Do I have a grudge against you?" Wang Linchi asked, toying with an exquisite handgun he had confiscated from the major shareholder.
Playing with the gun was one thing, but Wang Linchi kept aiming the muzzle at the pilot, as if he might shoot at any mont. The Saint Master could fly Wang Linchi to safety, so he wasn’t worried about a crash. This major shareholder, however, couldn’t fly. If the helicopter lost its pilot and crashed, he would die too.
"No... no," the major shareholder stamred, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
"No grudge, yet you fire missiles at ? You must think I’m easy to bully," Wang Linchi said coldly. I was bullied in Great View, and now I’m being bullied even in a Secret Realm? This isn’t what I ca to Secret Realms for!
"Hey, you, fly this helicopter steadily. Don’t swerve. If you swerve, my hand might slip," Wang Linchi warned the pilot.
Then, his gaze returned to the major shareholder.
"As a shareholder of Dawn Watch Company, I assu you’re quite familiar with your company’s origins, Tianshin Grass, and the GOD virus. I’d like to hear your account."
"By the way, find a zombie-free place to land this helicopter. I want to have a proper chat with your boss."
So things wouldn’t necessarily be recorded, especially matters involving longevity and nurous bloody experints. Who would keep records of such things just for personal satisfaction or to be used as leverage by others?
Wang Linchi was looking for more than just the visible records; he sought the unrecorded ones too. For instance, regarding Base No. 7, the GOD virus laboratory only held so research data. Information about Base No. 7 itself, however, was vague and deliberately obscured.
