Three minutes later, Granny Wang's skin was covered in scary stripes, and her teeth and nails were getting sharper.
But she was no longer twitching, and no longer hissing in terror.
The two military doctors looked at each other and took off their helmets.
Granny Wang's expression was still hideous, and her eyes were still murky. However, they no longer shone with the fierce light of a wild beast. Instead, they were calm.
"Next, we will carry out the last test. Witnesses, please leave. Family members can also leave," the military doctor said.
"No, I want to stay here with Grandma!" Wang Xiaojuan firmly said.
Meng Chao pulled Bai Jiacao out of the door and noticed that his sister's hands were no longer trembling as much as before.
The military doctor did not close the door. He only pulled out his pistol and blocked the door. The siblings stood on their tiptoes and looked inside. They saw two other military doctors. One was protecting Wang Xiaojuan, and the other quickly removed Granny Wang's chains.
The zombified Granny Wang jumped up.
Controlled by her strong appetite and killing instinct, she pounced on the crowd with her claws and fangs bared.
The muscles of the military doctor who was guarding his little granddaughter swelled, and even his white coat made a tearing sound.
The military doctor who was blocking the door quickly raised his gun and aimed at the center of Granny Wang's brows.
The little granddaughter screamed hysterically, "Grandma!"
The zombie Granny Wang looked as if she had been struck by lightning. She froze on the spot.
"Citizen Wang Shufen, do you still remember the oath you made when you applied to join the Eternal Journey? We are noble human beings. Our will can defeat all visible and invisible enemies. Even if we die, we will never be at the mercy of bacteria and viruses! " A military doctor shouted, "The one standing in front of you is your most beloved granddaughter. Are you really going to tear her apart and eat her up?"
Meng Chao noticed that the military doctor's eyes were sparkling, and his temples were heaving rapidly.
By the looks of it, he was a superhuman who was skilled in mind techniques.
It was using brainwaves to stimulate Granny Wang's cerebral cortex, which had yet to completely rot, to prevent the virus from wreaking havoc in Granny Wang's remaining brain cells.
The zombie Granny Wang put on a conflicted expression.
The brilliance of humanity and the instincts of beasts were in a fierce tug of war.
"Grandma, you can do it. You can definitely defeat the disease. Grandpa, Dad, Mom, they are all watching you from the sky!" Wang Xiaojuan said with a trembling voice.
This sentence struck Granny Wang's highly mutated central nervous system.
The turbid eyeball trembled violently, and a crystal-clear liquid flowed out like a tear.
She stretched out her sharp claws towards her granddaughter.
The three military doctors were nervous.
His granddaughter, on the other hand, ignored everything and went forward to welcome him.
When the sharp claws were about to touch Wang Xiaojuan's face, Granny Wang flinched.
She forcibly controlled herself and retracted her fangs and claws. She stood obediently and allowed the cold, translucent blood to flow on her rotten face.
"The degree of brain cell mutation is under control!"
"The central nervous system is still intact. It has not been further eroded by the virus!"
Her reaction to sound is normal. Her reaction to light is normal. Her reaction to the stimulation of fresh flesh is normal. Although the volunteer is dead, the memory pieces deep inside her brain cells turned into instincts and helped her control herself!
"Right now, she is no longer a heartless zombie, but an Eternal Being who will fight for her home and her family even if she dies!"
"Some people are alive, but have long since died. Some people are dead, but can live for eternity in the raging flames. Salute the Immortal!"
The three military doctors stood at attention with a thud and gave the zombie Granny Wang the most standard military salute.
Then, one of the military doctors turned on the brain cell controller and spinal nerve control ring and placed them on Granny Wang's forehead and neck. Then, he connected the two through a circuit.
During the entire process, Granny Wang's eyeballs kept trembling. Her sharp claws also opened and closed.
She looked at the military doctor's neck, which was inches away from her, and especially the slightly protruding blood vessels on her neck, and she felt like drooling.
But under her granddaughter's encouraging gaze, Granny Wang forcefully restrained herself.
As the control system was connected, the old woman completely calmed down.
The ruthlessness on her face disappeared, and only calmness remained in her turbid eyes.
The military doctor used a device that was similar to a drone's remote control to guide Granny Wang slowly out of the home she had lived in for decades.
The corridor was completely blocked. When everyone heard that Granny Wang had completed the Eternal Life Ritual, they came out to send her off.
"A joyous funeral! This is a joyous funeral!" Someone sighed.
"Some people are alive, but they died a long time ago. Some people are dead, but they can live for eternity in the raging flames!" Someone even shouted the oath of an Eternal Life Ritual.
But there were even more people who watched Granny Wang leave with solemn expressions.
"Granny!"
When Granny Wang arrived at the entrance of the building and was about to follow the three military doctors into the airtight armored vehicle, Wang Xiaojuan called out to her one last time with Bai Jiacao's support.
Granny Wang actually turned her head around to look at her. Her mostly rotten lips curled up a little.
When the old woman was alive, she made a lot of noise. Her voice was shrill and loud, and when she ran into trouble, she liked to give orders. There were quite a number of people in the area who did not like her.
But now that she was dead, when she turned her head around, quite a number of people shed tears.
"Citizen Wang Shufen has joined the Red Dragon Army's Eternal Journey. Based on the rules for rewarding the families of martyrs, the direct relatives of those who are still minors will receive an extra ten points for their high school entrance examination and an extra five points for their national college examination. Go back and study well. Don't let your granny down."
The three military doctors saluted Wang Xiaojuan and left with Granny Wang.
"Young Juan, don't be too sad. Your granny is a hero. Perhaps you'll be able to see her show off her skills during the next monster invasion." When Meng Chao saw that the girl next door was so sad, he could not help but comfort her.
This was not a lie.
Even though the cells of zombies were highly active, most of their organs and limbs were rotten, so their fighting strength was not great.
During the first ten years after Dragon City transmigrated, normal people could use chainsaws and lawnmowers to fight against zombies. As long as they overcame their fear and avoided being scratched and bitten by zombies, a normal person could fight against a few zombies.
The military had gone through a lot of trouble to create the Eternal Journey, but it was naturally not as simple as driving a group of zombies to the frontlines to serve as food for the monsters.
Once the zombies — no, the Eternal Beings entered the military camp, they would go through more than ten modifications. They would be equipped with all sorts of powerful armor, crystal engines, and light and heavy weapons. They would be modified into mobile war fortresses controlled by human brain cells and spinal nerves.
As runic symbols, spirit energy, and crystal technology continued developing, the technology to strengthen exoskeletons and individual fighting skills became more mature, and all sorts of fighting armor became popular.
But no matter what, the human body was made of weak flesh and blood. The stronger the fighting armor, the louder the noise, the higher the temperature, and the stronger the impact would be.
With a thin layer of armor, they would have to instantly stop moving at supersonic speed, and from that stop, they would have to move at supersonic speed three to five times faster than supersonic speed. In between, they would have to move in a small area or endure the high-speed impact from the monsters. Even if the armor itself could withstand this sort of ravaging, a normal person's muscles, bones, brains, and organs would definitely not be able to withstand it.
The martial arts superhumans who specialized in tempering their bodies might be able to withstand the huge impact.
But they were all aiming to use spirit energy, meditate, create, and create energy armor.
There was no need for them to use machine armor, and there were too few of them. It was not enough for them to fight against the fierce monster horde.
There were too few people in Dragon City. For the sake of survival, even the dead had to fight bravely.
Since they were already dead, their remaining reactions were just the stimulation from bioelectricity. So, they did not have to worry about their own injuries.
The weapon designers could place their craziest ideas on the Eternal Beings.
For example, they could place the Eternal Beings' remaining brain tissues and spinal nerves on super fighting vehicles that were dozens of meters tall, had more than ten tracks, and had dozens of huge cannons.
Because of it, the Eternal Life Brigade would become one of the strongest squads in the Red Dragon Army. In fact, they would become the most zealous suicide squad.
No, zealous was not the right word to describe them.
When the Immortals drove all kinds of super machines to crush the monsters, their spirits in heaven should be very calm, maybe even happy.
"Young Juan, I'm the one who harmed your grandmother. If I weren't useless, Granny Wang might not have died."
The Eternal Life Brigade's armored vehicles with red crosses painted on both sides and pictures of flames surrounded them drove out of Blessed Heavenly Garden. Bai Jiacao brought up the past.
"Who said that?"
Wang Xiaojuan looked at her in surprise. "When I came home, Granny was still a little clear-headed. She told me that it's all thanks to you charging at the forefront without caring about your own safety and using a small machete to kill two Demonic Halberd Pigs, she managed to raise her gun and fight to her heart's content. If it weren't for you, she and many of the neighbors would have been separated by the Demonic Halberd Pigs a long time ago. Who knows how many people would have died!"
Bai Jiacao was stunned. "Is that so?"
"Of course. Granny said that you're the bravest girl she's ever seen, and she told me to learn from you." Wang Xiaojuan squatted down and touched the Sword-toothed Hunting Dog's head. "Young Cao, I'm going to stay in school, so I'll have to trouble your family to take care of Big Tooth in the future, okay?"
"Don't worry. I'll definitely take good care of Big Tooth." Sparks burned in Bai Jiacao's eyes again.
"I almost forgot." Wang Xiaojuan untied Big Tooth's collar and took out a large heart-shaped pendant.
She pressed it gently. The pendant was hollow, and a few photos fell out.
There were wedding photos of Granny Wang when she was young. In the photos, there was a handsome young man and woman who were in high spirits.
There were also a few color photos of a baby. His eyes were curved, and he looked very similar to Granny Wang when she was young.
There were a lot of numbers written behind each photo.
"Granny said that she's old, and her memory isn't good. She's always forgetful, so she decided to write the password of the house on the photos and put it in Big Tooth's collar. That way, if anything happens, I can find it the moment I look for it." Wang Xiaojuan put the photos back into her pocket.
