Lu Zhaoming looked up to the sky and roared, his voice deafening.

He felt as if he had become a different person, filled with endless power.

"Mad Dog, today is your death day!" Lu Zhaoming roared and charged at Mad Dog again.

This time, the situation has completely reversed.

With his immense strength and speed, Lu Zhaoming completely suppressed the mad dog.

Each of his punches contained terrifying power, forcing the mad dog to retreat repeatedly, utterly powerless to fight back.

Finally, Lu Zhaoming seized an opportunity and punched the mad dog in the chest.

"puff--"

The mad dog spat out a mouthful of blood, its body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.

"You...you..." The mad dog struggled to stand up, but was powerless.

Lu Zhaoming walked up to the mad dog, looked down at him with icy eyes.

"it's over."

Without hesitation, he raised his foot and stomped hard on the mad dog's head.

"Snap—"

With a sickeningly sharp crack, the mad dog's head exploded like a watermelon.

Having dealt with the rabid dog, Lu Zhaoming immediately destroyed the signal transmitting device.

As the signal source disappeared, the infected who had been attacking frantically seemed to lose their way and began to scatter in all directions.

The crisis is over!

Lu Zhaoming let out a long breath, but suddenly felt weak and collapsed to the ground.

When Lu Zhaoming woke up again, he found himself lying on a bed in the safe house.

Doctor Li is examining him.

"You're awake? How are you feeling?" Doctor Li asked.

"I'm fine." Lu Zhaoming shook his head and asked, "Is everyone alright?"

"Everyone is fine, but you've overexerted yourself too much this time and need to rest properly," said Dr. Li.

"Oh, right, there's something else I need to tell you." Doctor Li paused, his expression turning somewhat grave, and said, "According to my research, Xiaocao's antibody genes can not only cure the plague, but also reverse some of the side effects of supernatural abilities."

"What?!" Lu Zhaoming's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.

"But this needs further verification," Dr. Li added.

Lu Zhaoming remained silent for a moment, then ordered, "Rest for a day to prepare for the next phase of the operation."

Just when the team thought the crisis was temporarily over, the system suddenly sent a cryptic message: [The final judgment has been initiated...].

Just when everyone thought they could catch their breath, a notification suddenly popped into Lu Zhaoming's mind: "Host has triggered the hidden mission 'Restart Judgment', completion conditions unknown."

It feels like you've just defeated a boss and haven't even had a chance to collect your loot when the game pops up a notification that a hidden dungeon has opened, and it's on hell difficulty!

Lu Zhaoming was speechless. Did the system think he was living too comfortably?

What's even more unsettling is that a strange red light suddenly rose in the distance, its color resembling a blood-stained Mary Sue drama or the shady barbershop run by the neighbor next door.

The entire sky was bathed in crimson light, and an unsettling smell filled the air.

Lu Zhaoming squinted at the red light, feeling goosebumps rise all over his body.

He could clearly sense that the energy fluctuations in the air had become abnormally chaotic, as if something terrifying was awakening.

"It seems the real trial has only just begun," Lu Zhaoming said slowly, his tone as calm as the calm before a storm, his hand unconsciously tightening around the pistol that had accompanied him all this way. "Su Li, get the brothers on their toes, the real fun might be about to begin!"
