Chapter 1198 - 1198 An Unstable Evolution
1198 An Unstable Evolution
There really was a way!
Tang Mingyue’s eyes brightened. She asked, “What is it?”
“The source of the infection is the white powder. If we take it away, it should be able to greatly reduce the infection rate.”
“Yes.” On the side, Qiu Yaokang carefully put away the test tube containing the ‘demonic seed’ virus and nodded in agreement, “Indeed, there’s no problem in theory. We can try.”
Wangnet frowned and questioned, “What do you mean? I don’t understand, how are you going to get rid of the ‘demonic seed’?”
Sandy snorted, “Stupid, even I understand. The source of the demonic seed’s infection is the white frost virus. As long as we get a little bit of the virus down every time when the white frost is all scraped off, the source of the infection will be gone and we will no longer be affected by the infection.”
Tang Mingyue frowned and said, “But we don’t have that much time. The Empire may have already learned that we invaded the Imperial mausoleum. The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. They may already be on their way.”
“Don’t worry,” Wangnet said with a look of disdain. “The Empire’s cowards won’t dare to come in, but you’re right. The Empire won’t let us go. I think they’ll set up a trap at the entrance of the Imperial mausoleum and wait for us to get out before they make their move.”
Fang Heng waved his hand and interrupted the discussion, “It won’t take long. I have an idea.”
The fusion Tyrant forms and the Lickers were still blocked by the large number of mutated dark serpents at the entrance of the silver gate, unable to enter for the time being.
Now, it was the zombie clones’ turn.
Fang Heng closed his eyes again and chanted in his heart.
“Level up.”
[Hint: The player has leveled up to Level 29. Due to the player’s innate skill, the player has received an additional 304 zombie clones.]
[Hint: The current number of zombie clones is 1,822.]
[Hint: The next stage of leveling up the player’s character level will consume Tier 2 mutation crystals*4,000 and Tier 3 mutation crystals*10.]
As the notification appeared on his retina, a dense alchemy magic array was projected on the ground around Fang Heng.
“Wuwu…”
The wails of the undead immediately filled the surroundings.
Greenish-gray palms kept reaching out from the alchemy magic array. New zombie clones kept crawling out of the array and stood behind Fang Heng, staggering.
In an instant, the place was crowded with zombies!
After a while, Fang Heng opened his eyes again.
The higher the level, the more terrifying the effect of the passive talent was. The speed of obtaining zombies increased rapidly. Now, the number of clones he could obtain after one level up had exceeded 300!
Seeing Fang Heng summoning so many zombies at once, Tang Mingyue was secretly shocked.
From the information she got from her background check, this was Fang Heng’s special ability, a super powerful talent that was determined as S-level.
They weren’t ordinary zombies. Even though they looked slow and stupid, their ability to take hits was terrifying.
“Good idea!”
Wangnet understood and immediately nodded in praise.
He didn’t think it was a big deal.
Wasn’t it normal for a necromancy mage to summon zombies?
“I’m not sure if it’ll work, but I’ll try it first.”
Fang Heng immediately controlled one of the zombie clones to walk toward the coffin.
Fang Heng stared at the status information log of the zombie clone.
[Hint: Your zombie clone has entered a special area. The degree of infection has increased…]
Not good.
Even the zombie clone was affected by the infection.
However, the zombie clone itself was an infected product of the Hila virus, and it also had the effect of the undead virus in his body, so the infection rate was slower than his.
It was a pity that the ordinary zombie’s movement speed was slow, and the increase and decrease didn’t buy much time for Fang Heng.
The zombie clone came to the side of the coffin. Under Fang Heng’s control, it raised its hand and tried to scrape off the frost on the coffin.
Eh!
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.
As soon as the zombie’s hand touched the frost, a small part of it was absorbed by the zombie’s right hand as if it had melted.
At the same time, the zombie clone’s infection index increased greatly, instantly reaching the maximum value!
A line of game prompts refreshed quickly on Fang Heng’s retina.
[Hint: The player’s zombie clone has touched and absorbed an unknown virus source…]
[Hint: A similar virus has been detected. Obtaining a usable virus. Attempting to obtain evolution information…]
[Hint: The player has triggered the unstable evolution of the current zombie.]
[Hint: Evolution direction-unknown.]
[Evolution: Unknown effect.]
Description: Fused with an unknown virus to undergo a second unstable evolution.
Description: Current virus modification match rate-88.6%.
Description: Current virus body transformation success rate-1.29%.
Description: Evolution cost: 30,000 survival points; evolution time: 5 minutes.
Description: You will die immediately after the transformation fails (you can still be resurrected). After the transformation is successful, the player can choose to consume the King of Gods’ points and survival points to maintain the transformation state.
Description: The proliferated body cannot undergo evolution and modification.
Fang Heng’s pupils suddenly contracted.
Evolution!
This was too unexpected!
He was surprised that the zombie clone had evolved again.
Fang Heng’s eyes flashed with joy.
Ever since he left the Zombie Apocalypse, he had thought that the evolution of zombies had come to an end.
So there was still a continuation!
The only problem was that the success rate was a little low, not even 2%.
That’s right, the unknown virus was just the initial virus body and had not been optimized and modified.
As long as the virus body was brought back, Qiu Yaokang would research and modify it, and the success rate would be higher.
Just like when he first obtained the Licker transformation, the initial success rate was very low. After many generations of improvements, the current Lickers had a 98% success rate.
While Fang Heng was thinking about this, a line of game prompt flashed quickly on his retina.
[Hint: The zombie clone’s infection index has increased to the critical value. Please choose whether to evolve or not. If you cancel the evolution or not, the zombie clone will enter an unstable state in 0.4 seconds, and the player has a partial chance of losing control of it (this state will be cleared after death and rebirth).]
“Transform!”
Fang Heng muttered in his heart.
[Hint: The player has deducted 30,000 survival points and performed an unknown modification on the zombie clone.]
Under everyone’s surprised gazes, the zombie clone quickly stepped back, and then a black liquid-like cuticle overflowed from its body.
The zombie clone knelt down on the spot.
The dark keratin wrapped around the zombie like a large, black egg.
“Fang Heng, what happened? Have you met some trouble?”
Seeing the strange shape of the zombie, Wangnet immediately cast an inquiring look at Fang Heng.
“I encountered something interesting, but it’s not a big problem.”
As Fang Heng spoke, he controlled the zombie clones behind him to move again, staggering toward the coffin.
