"Zombie?" Many people are chewing on this new term.
"Zombies are an infected body, which is also a creature of the undead race." Bai Xiaowen said, "This kind of infected body is very sensitive to all moving objects, including sounds. Moreover, their teeth and claws also have '
The ultimate plague killer's viruses, those scratched or bitten by them will turn into zombies after a certain period of time."
As if to confirm Bai Xiaowen's explanation, the first batch of plague undead who had just been knocked down by the zombies stood up crookedly before long, let out meaningless roars, and joined the counterattack.
"So, are these zombies...under your control?" Lord Julien looked at Bai Xiaowen with strange eyes and asked cautiously.
"It's a pity that they only follow their own instinctive actions." Bai Xiaowen sighed. If he could control the zombies, would he still need to be so restrained? He could directly raise an army of zombies and overwhelm the two major camps in Northern Xinjiang.
The treasure chest is definitely available.
"In this case, the Plague Lord hiding behind the scenes will not be able to control these zombies?" Lord Julien suddenly laughed, "This is not bad. Let the zombies kill the plague undead and the remaining beasts. We have city walls.
Protected, it will be very safe.”
Archbishop Arlo suddenly spoke: "But what should other humans in northern Xinjiang do, especially those who live in villages without city walls? I remember that it was mentioned in Baron Dio's plan that the one you developed
The 'Ultimate Plague Buster' is highly contagious and can spread with the flow of air. It won't be long before those humans in northern Xinjiang who have not been bitten by zombies will turn into zombies!"
There was silence in the venue for a while.
Bai Xiaowen said calmly: "Archbishop Arlo, let me reiterate, only humans infected with the undead plague virus will be affected by the ultimate plague nemesis. If you are not infected with the virus, you will not be transformed."
"This doesn't mean anything. Aren't those infected people God's people? They still have a chance to be cured!" Arlo said.
"Cure, how to cure?" Bai Xiaowen shook his head, "Does the Archbishop think that we have enough time and manpower to give medicine to the infected people in the entire northern Xinjiang? Especially when the Allied Forces of the Remnants are pressing down on the border!"
Archbishop Arlo was speechless and could only watch helplessly as the White Stone Army soldiers busily poured the "Ultimate Plague Buster", which was actually a solution of the zombie virus, onto the army of plague undead below.
The front began to push back.
Although the plague undead army has a numerical advantage, zombies can continuously transform enemies into their own kind. Moreover, unless the zombies attack their heads, their health points will remain at 1 point even if they are emptied.
He is temporarily incapacitated, but after a few minutes, his health will automatically recover and he will be a good man again.
The large wooden barrels of solution produced by the trebuchet blossomed in the rear positions of the plague undead army, and the zombie virus spread rapidly.
Anyway, the pressure on the city wall is much less.
Bai Xiaowen walked down the city. Wherever he went, people moved out of the way and looked at him with strange eyes.
Bai Xiaowen also received a reminder that his reputation in the human camp has declined. It has not yet fallen below the level of respect. However, as the umbrella project progresses, his reputation continues to decline, and it will not be long before it falls below the level of respect.
This is still a case where the prince takes the blame. If Bai Xiaowen acted rashly on his own, his reputation would definitely collapse, and he might not get any credit at all in the end.
Li Shuyi also received the reminder that her reputation had declined, and said with some worry: "What should we do now? Let's buy return items now. If it falls below Reverence, we can't buy it."
The [City Return Scroll] from the Quartermaster of Black Rock Fortress requires revered reputation to purchase.
"Don't worry, these temporary losses of reputation are just clouds," Bai Xiaowen said calmly, "I have been preparing for so long and expending effort to promote the umbrella plan. I am not satisfied with just completing an S-level main mission."
Back at his residence, Bai Xiaowen took out another communication rune stone that he specifically asked for from Prince Nicholas.
The communication rune stone that Prince Nicholas left for him before was placed in the red leaf collar.
These two runestones communicate with the magic network of the Kane plane world. As for the communication distance, it is related to the grade of the communication runestone. These two runestones can support the communication from Black Rock City to Red Leaf City.
, considered relatively high-end.
It's a pity that the communication runestones cannot be taken out of the world of Kane. Even if they are taken out, they will not work without the support of the magic network of the world of Kane.
After injecting spiritual power, the communication runestones shone brightly.
Not long after, a figure appeared in the illusory light, with a big head, a small body, and goldfish eyes. It was Dr. Zombie.
"Hi, boss! Let me guess what you want from me... um, a paid vacation?"
"...After you finish this job, I will give you a long vacation," Bai Xiaowen said lightly, "Cheer up now... How are your preparations over there?"
"Under my diligent supervision, the factory's production is going very smoothly. Moreover, according to the boss's arrangements, all arrangements have been made in the twenty-one territories in northern Xinjiang... As long as you give an order, within 48 hours
, the whole northern Xinjiang will explode! You know, boss! Hahahaha!"
"Is Cecilia here?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Next to Dr. Zombie, Cecilia's figure appears.
"Dio, all the mildly infected people in my territory have been recruited to Hongye City. After taking the plague killer drug you researched, the symptoms of the undead plague have been significantly relieved," Cecilia said with a tired look.
, "It is expected that they will all recover in five or six days. How is the situation over there?"
Dr. Zombie was a little unhappy: "Hey, ma'am, Plague Buster is my invention patent."
"Very good, you don't have to worry," Bai Xiaowen ignored Dr. Zombie's protest, nodded and said to Cecilia, "Cecilia, after a while, the entire human race in Northern Xinjiang, except for Black Rock City and Red Leaf City,
They will all turn into mindless zombies, which is quite dangerous. However, Hongye City also has very high walls, so don’t worry too much. You have to maintain the stability of Hongye City. Once you find someone turning into a zombie, immediately isolate and eliminate them."
Although Bai Xiaowen had already cleaned Hongye City before leaving, and the people in the territory brought by Cecilia had also taken treatment drugs, it is not ruled out that those infected with the undead plague could slip through the net.
.
The characteristic of the ultimate plague killer (zombie virus) is that it will not affect healthy people, but will only forcefully transform plague undead and plague-infected people.
At the beginning, Dr. Zombie accidentally produced the D-01 substance through his zombie body, which turned a group of plague-infected people into zombies. Bai Xiaowen realized that this might be the way to complete the S-class hero's mission: fight against the plague.
A shortcut.
After the antidote was developed, Bai Xiaowen advanced the number of orders for next month, allowing Dr. Zombie to continue research on the basis of zombie-forming substances. This mad scientist does have extraordinary talent in the field of research that destroys humans.
Soon the technology upgrade will lead to new results.
In the first technological upgrade, Substance D-02 was obtained, which can turn the plague undead and its infected people into zombies through diet and injection.
However, Bai Xiaowen was not satisfied with this, and then there was a second technological upgrade. The newly obtained D-03 substance, the "ultimate plague killer", could be transmitted through the air!
At this point, the "Umbrella Plan" has the technical basis for implementation.
"Don't worry, I will recruit people, train them in archery, and build Hongye City into a strong city and an important stronghold for humans in northern Xinjiang." Cecilia said.
Bai Xiaowen hummed: "Are Job, Ferdinand, and those Black Blade Knights cooperative?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Mentioning this, Dr. Zombie said with a grimace: "Boss, those five Ebon Blade Knights are very fierce and want to kill me as soon as they meet. After listening to my request, they almost killed me! Fortunately, there are
With the prince's warrant brought by Kits, they reluctantly agreed to cooperate..."
The seven Black Blade Knights, Ian, and Jericho who were originally dispersed to Northern Xinjiang were all destroyed by Bai Xiaowen, and there were only five left.
Of these five people, except for Job, Ferdinand may be better. The other three who have not met Bai Xiaowen probably don't have any good impressions of Bai Xiaowen, not to mention that Dr. Zombie is still an undead creature...
Moreover, Bai Xiaowen's request brought by Dr. Zombie was for these Black Blade Knights to fully cooperate with the Umbrella Plan to turn the plague-infected people in northern Xinjiang into zombies. The fact that these knights did not kill Dr. Zombie on the spot was definitely due to the prince's warrant.
Bai Xiaowen is not worried about the obedience of these knights. They are not innocent little girls like Bonita who are not familiar with the world. They understand that where the light shines, there must be a shadow.
If the plague-infected people are not turned into zombies, after a period of time, they will become plague undead, driven by the Lord of Plague, to join the plague army besieging Black Rock City.
In this case, it is better to turn them into zombies in advance. Zombies act based on instinct, and at least they will not be controlled by the Plague Lord.
As for saving? What can't be saved? The output of ordinary plague killers made from the materials recently collected by Hongye City can only cure some mildly infected people in Cecilia's territory.
"Dr. Zombie, besides supervising production during this period, do you have any other research results?" Bai Xiaowen asked, "Can the possibility of manipulating zombies be realized?"
Dr. Zombie shrank his neck: "...Boss, please allow me to remind you that the number of orders you have given me this month has seriously exceeded the limit..."
"Then it's gone?" Bai Xiaowen touched his chin, "Your paid vacation... I have to reconsider it."
"Boss! You are violating the labor law!" Dr. Zombie said righteously.
"Is there a labor law that stipulates that you can only do three things a month?" Bai Xiaowen choked Dr. Zombie and said with a cold face, "That's it, next month's holiday is cancelled..."
"Stop, wait a minute!" Dr. Zombie waved his hands repeatedly, "Although I can't control the zombies, during this period of supervision, I did have some new ideas and made something new... You may like the boss.
I have given it to Kitts and asked him to take it with him when he returns, and also included an instruction manual..."
"It's okay, you did a good job." Bai Xiaowen didn't expect Dr. Zombie to be quite good.
"However, it is a hasty work after all, and there may be some minor flaws. Don't mind, boss."
"I don't mind. If something goes wrong, you can go get the whip from Delifa yourself."
Ignoring Dr. Zombie's bitter look, Bai Xiaowen finally said: "The Umbrella Project is officially launched. Within 48 hours, the ultimate plague killer will cover the entire northern Xinjiang!"
Considering the strong infectivity of the ultimate plague killer spread through the air, as long as infection sources are set up in major villages and towns in the territory of Northern Xinjiang, it will not take long to complete what Bai Xiaowen said, covering Northern Xinjiang.
Returning to the city wall, the situation on the battlefield outside has gradually turned around. At least, there are no more plague undead under the city wall.
Groups of plague undead rushed towards them, and the zombies rushed to meet them.
On the contact front, the plague undead were transformed into new zombies one after another, and then turned around to attack other plague undead.
Moreover, if the zombie's health is emptied, as long as the head is still there, it will not really die. It will only fall to the ground and wait for its health to be full before it will regain its mobility again.
The weak point of the zombies is the head, and the controllers of the Plague Undead will definitely be able to find it. However, the controllers cannot control the army of the Plague Undead to focus on the zombies' heads. Such long-distance and refined instructions are beyond their capabilities.
.
Therefore, it seems that the number of zombies is very small, but the front line is slowly moving towards the opponent.
What's more, there are trebuchets on the city wall that are constantly throwing out large wooden barrels containing the ultimate plague killer. These shells are much more effective than stone bombs. Wherever they land, they will turn a group of plague undead into zombies.
Among the remnant tribe, some of the remnants, like Kelhan, have undergone undead transformation, and the undead plague virus also exists in their bodies. These remnants who have undergone undead transformation, after coming into contact with the ultimate plague nemesis, also
Will become zombies! The elite individuals among them are much more powerful than ordinary humans after being transformed into zombies. They can be regarded as the prototype of Kane's Licker or Tyrant...
Plop la la...
In the chaos, a group of bats passed through the crowd of zombies and turned into a human form and landed on the ground. It was Kitz. His movement attracted the attention of several zombies, but before they could turn around and pounce on him, Kitz transformed into a bat again and pounced.
Leng flew up the city wall.
"Dark creature?" Archbishop Arlo glared.
Bai Xiaowen quickly stopped him: "This is one of my knights." He was really afraid that Arlo would hit Kitz with a holy light and kill him.
