[Human Empire Year 391], April.
[Adam II Incident] erupted. An unknown Man Killer Fiend young man broke through the death mechanism of guilt, broke into the core research facility, killed President Melivina, took down Guardian God Michael with him, and destroyed the mechanical city of Veolia.
The virus erupted.
The Isudal people's pride and arrogance turned Veolia into a dead city, infected over ten million people inside, becoming known as humanity's worst incident of despair.
The virus only affected the C + + language, destroying the Isudal people's defense mechanism, leaving the other Seafolk and demon beasts unaffected.
While the adult Isudal people couldn't switch to C + +, even if they could, it was already deeply rooted in their brains, requiring a complicated brain surgery, which was impossible to do in the middle of a zombie wave.
[Empire Year 391], May.
The 13 cities at the edge of Veolia quickly fell, Carolyn could no longer turn the tide. She gathered a small number of elite Isudal scientists and left, migrating to the outer realm and started the [Human Ark Project].
"We will still return"
Just like how they escaped from the ancient lava field, they once again escaped from their home.
But the majority of Isudal people were forced to stay in the city, unable to leave. They didn't complain at all, waiting for Lady Carolyn to lead the elites of humanity to start their research, find a way to cure the virus and return to save them.
They believed in their God, just like how they believed in Levis.
The lucky survivors of Isudal people began to shut off their inner sense communication to prevent their consciousness from spreading the virus, restoring the ancient language of communication. They also shut down the satellite network to prevent the virus from spreading through the network.
Without the network, using language to communicate, humanity had returned to the primitive era!
On the streets, there were many zombies wandering. The survivors in the city were struggling to survive in the basements, shops, and residential areas. They risked their lives and drove mechanical armors and mechanical motorcycles to search for food outside.
The mechanical era of the wasteland had arrived.
…
In a ruined mechanical city in the South.
A young wizard wearing a black wizard robe and a strong man who was bare-chested, revealing his perfectly proportioned muscles. The man was wearing a pair of white pearl earrings and a necklace with the Heart of the Ocean. They walked over in large strides.
The streets were old and dilapidated, littered with all sorts of trash and blood. There was also a group of brain-dead Ishudarans wandering about. Their gazes were white and lifeless, but they were still handsome despite their ragged clothes, revealing their fine figures.
Suddenly, they turned their heads, their eyes bursting with scarlet red like wild beasts.
Huala!
"What a pitiful life. In just a month, it has turned into a mindless beast." A trace of pity flashed in Harlandon's eyes. He stretched out his hand and an isolation barrier appeared instantly.
The zombies that were wandering on the street suddenly lost their target and aura and started to wander around.
Xu Zhi just looked at this scene curiously. It seemed to be no different from those zombie movies in the movies. It was indeed a virus, but it was a real computer virus.
He suddenly felt that the sand table world in front of him was somewhat similar to the wasteland sci-fi style. For example, the well-known masterpieces, No Man's Land and Radiation.
Xu Zhi entered a shop and tidied up an alchemy table. He waved his hand over the table, and bottles and jars appeared in front of him. He took a drop of dried zombie blood on the ground and shook the reagent.
Harlandon's expression was solemn as he stared at Xu Zhi's ring with a trace of disbelief. "This is a space storage, a super ancient civilization …"
In this world, the Ishudarans relied on technology and hadn't developed to the extent of 'creating space' technology. The scientific space technology might be a bit late, or perhaps it was not specifically developed in this area.
After a while, Xu Zhi was a little surprised as he looked at the results of the reagent.
"Brain dead … It's like some rank 4 or 5 magical beasts that don't have any intelligence. Of course, some of the higher-level ones didn't have their brains completely destroyed. Although they still don't have intelligence, the spells they wrote in their memories, such as running and jumping, have become instinctive memories and are still preserved."
Xu Zhi looked at some special zombies. Among them, there was a strong grade 4 male zombie. It was a special kind with fast movements and wind spells. It was a very special existence.
He stretched out his hand and pinched the air.
Bang!
The zombie's head exploded, and a brain nucleus with white mucus flew out and landed in his hand.
He continued to study for a full half a day. The streets outside were constantly filled with zombies, like a fast-forward projector. Harlandon silently guarded by the side, his eyes were extremely curious about the unknown.
Xu Zhi didn't pay attention to him. He suddenly exhaled and realized the seriousness of the problem. "The virus is already very scary. There are already three generations of the virus and it's still spreading."
"Three generations? Virus? "Harlandon was puzzled.
Xu Zhi said, "It's wildly mutating through the calculation of the human brain and turning into a mutant trojan horse virus. This is the main reason for the large number of human infections. Countless cities have fallen and become zombie areas."
"You … are amazing." Harlandon exhaled. "You have an analysis so quickly."
Xu Zhi's expression was indifferent.
In terms of combat strength, he was far inferior to this top Celestial Emperor who could kill Finbar. Ultimately, he was only grade 6. Even if this great extinction could push him to the level of Quasi-emperor, he was still a traditional sorcerer. He had studied hard in the library of the Sorcerer World for decades and had communicated with Medusa for so long. He had long developed the idea of a sorcerer.
He had the ideas and wisdom of a sorcerer, coupled with the wisdom of the civilization in front of him, and the brain of a supercomputer, it was simply a perfect combination. For example, it was equivalent to a sorcerer with a brain chip.
"The virus is evolving, and Carolyn can't control the trend of destruction. It is like a mutant trojan horse virus, uncontrollable."
Xu Zhi continued to wander.
He collected the genetic model of some special zombies for research. He was very curious about their principles. After all, even if the brain was digitized, it was still a very complex structure, and there were even some parts that he couldn't understand.
Harlandon followed behind, becoming more and more curious.
Xu Zhi continued to sort out the conclusions. "These days, I have discovered very terrible things."
Harlandon's eyes widened.
Xu Zhi said, "I have said before that the forbidden zone of life is a very terrible thing. The gene lock has been unlocked … This is what we are seeing. The virus is evolving, which is equivalent to a program constantly evolving … Will it one day give birth to its own wisdom?"
"You mean … this virus program is like the evolution of life, heading into the unknown?" Harlandon's face was shocked, and he quickly reacted. "Yes, we have been restricting this aspect before, not allowing the 'program' to evolve on its own, and now … it is heading into the unknown."
"The body of the Isudal people is empty, and it is a good opportunity … Will it be replaced by another new race with wisdom? Do you think it is possible? "
"I don't know."
Xu Zhi just answered calmly. He and Harlandon continued to move forward.
Whether it was a new era, whether the Isudal people were extinct, was not certain.
And even if it was a new era, the survivors led by Carolyn could still continue the race, but they may have been replaced as the hegemon. Who knew what the future would bring?
The future had infinite possibilities.
"Perhaps, it is a different kind of Genesis?"
He walked through the ruins of sci-fi cities, broken shops, streets, public facilities, fences, all of which were walking corpses. He occasionally stopped and took out a test bench to conduct various experiments to test the potential of certain zombies.
"The birth of a new life?" Harlandon looked at the possibilities in front of him.
His mind suddenly went blank.
He recalled the scene he saw from the eyes of the demonic beast Finbar. If Carolyn saw the origin of humans, then he undoubtedly saw the origin of his kind of demonic beasts … He suddenly had an incredible thought. He looked at the young man in the wizard robe.
Could it be that the demonic beasts and humans were also this mysterious ancient god, wandering the earth, using some unknown technology to observe, guide, and collect data …
In fact, he was close to the truth to a certain extent.
They walked all the way, crossing the ruins of the once prosperous Isudal city. Suddenly, there was a cry from a window in the distance. "Help!"
Xu Zhi looked up. It was a survivor girl, curled up at the window of the toilet on the third floor of a high-rise building, shaking her arms and shouting with her mouth. He didn't know how long she had been starving, she was extremely thin.
Xu Zhi reached out, broke the window wall, and brought her in.
The surrounding zombies roared a few times, but they were isolated by Harlandon's mental barrier, and then they didn't say a word.
Xu Zhi handed her water and bread.
"Thank you, thank you two masters!" She was immediately overjoyed.
"What happened?" Harlandon asked.
The girl said, "The apocalypse has come. The entire apartment building of Yujin District, the neighbors used spiritual sense to communicate, and many were infected … Now everyone is shielding themselves and can only communicate with words. A week ago, my parents went to the supermarket outside, and …"
She looked like she was about to cry.
Xu Zhi was speechless.
As soon as she opened her mouth, it was all revealed. She didn't have any guard, and seemed a bit naive. But this was common sense.
The biggest difference between this apocalyptic world and other apocalyptic worlds was that there was no internal strife, no sinister human nature. Instead, they were restrained by guilt, able to help each other and endure the hardships together.
This also made them feel a lot more comfortable, and they wouldn't go extinct so quickly.
"We believe that the rescue team will come, the country will calm this chaos and restore our Isudal people's glory" the girl was very determined. Every Isudal person seemed to believe this.
Xu Zhi felt like he was looking at a small ripple in the sea of life, he thought for a bit. "Did anything special happen?"
The girl directly spoke, "A group of survivors passed by earlier, they told me that a few cities in the south near the mechanical city of Veolia have been turned into danger zones. Terrifying monsters have appeared, and those who didn't manage to evacuate in time are already dead"
"Dead?" Harlandon was a bit surprised, she looked deeper into the city.
The girl replied: "They say that a special virus has appeared, they're showing signs of atavism, just like the legendary Man Killer Fiends, they're covered in mud, oozing out cell fluid, long tongues, tails, and parts of the body of a monkey. They're extremely powerful, the survivors call them … Lickers"
