In the past, Lu Wu had to spend a long time to conquer the world during every invasion war in the extraterrestrial world.
War was not just a simple fight. After recognizing the disparity in strength, the weaker party would inevitably choose to defend instead of foolishly continuing to fight the other party head-on.
Hence, the previous expeditions in the foreign lands would usually take a long time.
It could be a few years or a few decades.
However, this war was different. The zombies were not afraid of death at all. They were endlessly sending themselves to death.
The players were killing happily, and the zombies were eating happily too.
Hence, the expeditions in the foreign lands progressed very quickly. After nine months, the players had slaughtered nearly half of the zombies.
However, it did not matter to the zombies. As long as they could eat, they could continue.
As for the deaths of their clansmen, they did not care at all.
This was very similar to the players in the past.
The death of their teammates was not the main point. The key was to kill the monsters and obtain soul coins. They could even stab their teammates at critical moments for soul coins.
It was the same for the zombies.
Eating was the most important thing to them. They did not care about the deaths of their clansmen at all. They could even kill their clansmen for food at critical moments.
The Dark Funeral Legion was formed by creatures from different worlds. Their clansmen were dispensable to them.
In such a war, both sides had fought to a tacit understanding and sympathized with each other.
However, it was impossible to stop the war. Even if the players agreed, the zombies would not.
If we stop the war, what are we going to eat? This was the only thought that the zombies had.
The players actually understood this logic because they had experienced the same choice.
When the Sea King chose to join Beiqi, why did they reject him?
At the end of the day, they had the same thought as the zombies.
If the sea leeks joined Beiqi, they would not have leeks anymore. What about the soul coins?
There were too many similarities between the players and the zombies. Hence, they chose to continue the war against the zombies.
This was what the zombies wanted, and it was also what the players wanted.
During the continuous expeditions, the growth of the players was tremendous. All the zombies in the world had become tonics for them to become stronger.
Among them, the life form of the Asia server players had been sublimated. The power of the gene lock had been developed to the fifth stage. They had become a very unique life form.
The gene power that had been abandoned was used again and became their main combat ability.
For example, body regeneration, telekinesis, and other abilities …
These abilities were abandoned by the players of the Asia server after they entered the outland due to the lack of a proper development system. In the end, they still chose to follow a similar cultivation and growth system as the local and European servers.
Most importantly, they could directly purchase laws and carry out a perfect cultivation system for growth. This was far easier than exploring the growth model of the gene lock themselves.
However, the Genetic Growth Cultivation System that was abandoned by the Asia server players had returned after the war with the "Dark Funeral Legion".
As they continued to consume the virus, their gene locks broke through again and again. Now, they had the power of a god body.
It could be said that the zombies had allowed the Asia server players to return to the path of growth that they were familiar with.
The players had gained far more from the war against the Dark Funeral Legion.
The increase in level could bring about an increase in physical strength, and the income of soul coins could make the players collectively rich.
The war between the players and the Dark Funeral Legion was undoubtedly a virtuous cycle that allowed their strength to grow steadily.
But happy times can't last forever.
Halfway through the second year of the war, the number of zombies had obviously declined.
Usually, when the players arrived, the zombies would swarm over and surround them.
But now, the number of zombies was far less than before.
This made the players realize one thing — the Dark Funeral Legion was not far from destruction.
At this moment, the players' enthusiasm for the war had faded, and they even had the urge to leave.
The zombies were very cruel. They constantly consumed other lives in the outland and infected a large area with the virus. They could be said to be an extremely evil force in the outland.
But the players had been fighting in the outland for so many years, and the way they looked at things was already different from before.
Just like the players in the Glittering Jewel World who questioned the other creatures. Didn't the Holy Spirit Clan think that they were cruel to be treated as livestock in captivity?
At that time, the concept of good and evil was based on subjective judgment and considerations from one's own point of view.
But as they came into contact with more things, the players also grew and understood the principles of survival in the outland.
The simplest point was, did humans not rear cattle and sheep in captivity? Were these livestock born to be eaten by humans?
The fact was that humans stood at the top of the food chain and had the ability to choose the lives of other creatures. Therefore, it was natural for them to rear the creatures they needed as food.
Who would think that it was wrong to do so?
And this answer was reflected in the enormous Outerworld, and it was the same.
The Holy Spirit Clan was at the top of the food chain in the outland. Therefore, they had the ability to choose the lives of creatures weaker than them.
In the outland, it was very childish to say that it was right or wrong.
If there were absolutely fair rules, then the concept of right or wrong could be formed. However, there were no fair rules in the outland.
Therefore, before doing anything in the outland, the first thing to consider wasn't whether it was cruel or immoral. Instead, it was whether one had the ability to bear the consequences of doing it.
There was only one criterion to consider — one's own strength!
In the beginning, the players might have felt that the zombies' behavior was too cruel and inhumane.
However, after experiencing so much, the players knew that it was still the law of the jungle. This was the only truth in the development of different races.
Therefore, the Dark Funeral Legion's invasion of other worlds and devouring lives couldn't be judged by right or wrong.
They weren't the outland's police. Although they could use their strength to destroy this faction without a reason, they didn't have the right to use their own moral standards to judge others.
Therefore, the players didn't feel that the zombies were wrong. Instead, they felt that it was normal for them to kill in order to survive in the outland.
On the other hand, weren't they the same?
The zombies fought in the outland to survive and eat.
On the other hand, the players fought in the outland for their people in the Origin World. They had different standpoints, but their behavior was very similar.
Therefore, the players didn't feel disgusted with the zombies. Instead, they felt like they were on the same side after nearly two years of fighting.
They were too similar.
Even so, the battle had to continue.
The zombies didn't want them to stop.
According to the Zombie King, hunger was always tormenting us. Dying while devouring is also a kind of release for us. At that moment, we can at least feel temporary happiness.
Therefore, the players fulfilled their promise and agreed with the Zombie King. Whoever ran was a coward!
Until one side was destroyed forever.
…
At the end of the second year, the Dark Funeral Legion couldn't kill the players anymore and forced them to return to the artifact dimension.
The end of the war had arrived.
At the final moment, there were no tragic shouts or miserable roars. It was still the same as before.
In the battle, the zombies even learned to use words to provoke the players.
They knew what to say to make the players angry.
Therefore, in this final battle, while the two sides fought like boorish men, they also cursed from time to time.
"Coward, eat your grandpa's kick."
"Idiot, you talk so much nonsense. Eat it then. Stretch out your hand and I'll eat it all for you!"
"Eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat. I'll beat you to death if I let you eat!"
"I'll eat you. So what? Eat it if you don't like it. Stretch out your hand, coward. Don't force me to use force! "
…
No one could imagine that this was a conversation between two forces that had been fighting for two years.
In the cruel war, they were actually very happy.
However, this war was finally coming to an end. The players didn't decrease, but the zombie population was less than 100 million.
This was less than 1% of their original numbers.
Even if the remaining zombies attacked together, they wouldn't be a match for the players.
However, they were still as duty-bound as before. While cursing, they began to gnaw on the players' bodies.
The players did the same. They cursed and hammered the zombies' heads.
In the battle, the number of zombies began to drop drastically again.
90 million … 80 million … 70 million … until the last one million, which was similar to the players'.
Looking at the last million zombies that were charging forward fearlessly, the players seemed to see their old selves.
It was the same when they were fighting in Beiqi. They wouldn't stop until all of them were dead.
They would always fight to the last man.
It was the same for the zombies. As long as they were alive and had strength, they wouldn't stop.
During the battle, the players had actually asked them if they hated the invaders.
Although their answers were different, they all had the same meaning.
This is such a happy thing. Hate what? Are you thinking of running away? Don't forget that whoever runs away is a coward!
Looking at the last million zombies, the players were filled with emotions.
They knew that once this battle was over, the Dark Funeral Legion that was once glorious in the Outland would disappear from the historical stage of the Outland Expedition.
Hence, at this moment, Liu Chai's voice rang in the live chat channel.
"Brothers, it's time to send these cowards on their way. Let them have a full meal before they die. Give me the healers!"
Facing the last million zombies, the players gave them a farewell gift.
It was the healer players who grew up by cultivating the Life Precept, the favorite food of the zombies.
This was also a way to send them off after the players discussed it.
They decided to let the zombies have their last meal before they went on their way.
As for what players to eat, the players discussed it and finally decided to let the healer players sacrifice themselves.
The healer players strongly opposed this decision and suggested to throw the warrior players because the meat was more chewy.
However, this suggestion was quickly rejected by the warrior and mage players because the zombies loved to eat healers the most. They should have a good last meal without any regrets …
At this moment, following Liu Chai's voice, the players grabbed the sorrowful healer players on their side and threw them at the zombies that were charging at them.
Three hours later, the final battle came to an end.
The zombies fought to the last man, until the entire army was annihilated. None of the zombies chose to escape this world and wander in the Outland …
