Chapter 99

Doomsday World, X332 Base.

The subordinate walked into the commander's tent, barely catching his breath when the commander hurried over and asked, "No news yet?"

The man took a deep breath, calming himself from the rush. He shook his head solemnly, "No. We've sent people to the outpost to check, but there's no trace."

"Damn it..." The commander's brow furrowed in thought. "What about the surveillance at F17809 base?"

"We've checked that, too. The zombies discovered their presence at some point and destroyed everything. Even the detectors hidden on the birds were shot down with their primitive slingshots. And it's not just our base; information from other areas shows that the Silver Sand Family has completely escaped human surveillance."

"How is this possible?" the commander was stunned. "Last week's scans showed that, aside from Yinsha himself and the one-eyed zombie, the second-in-command of the family, whose brains had reached near-human levels of activity, most of the other zombies were still just... just zombies! They couldn't have evolved to this level in just a week."

The subordinates were equally puzzled: "But even if, even if this incredible mutation occurred, they wouldn't have enough time and materials to create anti-reconnaissance equipment?"

The Yinsha family has always demonstrated a high degree of organization and discipline, but that is more like the genetic obedience of the wolf pack to the leader, rather than the optimal solution arrived at after thinking, analysis, and weighing - this is something only humans can do.

After all, a week ago they were just fast zombies who could barely speak.

After a week, how come they all evolved to a level almost as high as humans, and were even invulnerable to weapons?

In the apocalyptic world, all the big and small bosses and key NPCs are zombies, and all humans including the highest commander of X332 are just ordinary NPCs.

For them, every day and every event in the infinite space is not a game background constructed by data, but their real life.

So they couldn't figure it out. If the sudden transformation of humans into zombies was due to the "Silver Sand" virus, then how could the zombies suddenly transform back into humans? Could it be a completely new virus like "Gold Sand" or "Mercury Sand"?

For the survivors, the most important thing to consider now is that if the zombies of the "Silver Sand Family" collectively evolve their thinking, will they become an allied force returning to the human race, or an increasingly indestructible hostile force?

However, compared with man-made disasters, natural disasters are always more terrifying.

At the same time, they both felt a sudden and terrifying dizziness swirling under their feet. They looked at each other, and saw each other's fear in their eyes.

This is--

"ah!!!"

Outside the tent, there was the dull thud of something heavy falling to the ground, followed by a heart-wrenching scream.

"This is……"

"There's an earthquake—"

"An earthquake—an earthquake—"

"Run! Run ...

Previously, the F17809 base was able to calmly relocate its entire population in response to the prediction of an impending flash flood, but after the apocalypse, the strange and unexpected earthquakes were completely unavoidable with current technology; and compared to the abandoned base, although X332 was downstream, it was still backed by a mountain, and landslides and mudslides that could come back at any time would put everyone in a dead end.

In the apocalypse, everyone is busy taking care of themselves, and waiting for rescue after a disaster is nothing but a daydream.

There is only one way to survive: escape before disaster strikes.

For a moment, thousands of people in the base fled in all directions, and the fear of the various visions of doomsday was deeply ingrained in everyone's bones.

The already precarious order completely collapsed.

On the other side, F17809 base.

The base starting with F is much smaller than the base X, and the conditions in all aspects are also weaker. The ceiling has long been shattered into powder and is falling down like snow.

Yinsha, Yuan Jianwu, Chenyan, and Wei Mingyang were gathered in the most secure former commander's tent to discuss Li Jue's whereabouts when a zombie subordinate limped in with a report: "Sir, it's an earthquake..."

Half of his body was pierced with steel bars, obviously caused by the collapsed roof, but he did not feel any pain at all; on the other hand, although this zombie was covered in dust, his eyes were very clear, and they were no longer the cloudy and numb eyes of traditional zombies.

The ice shell melted faster and faster, and the doomsday world dominated by Silver Sand had long lost its normal operating rules. The zombies among the NPCs no longer acted according to the original data. Except for their appearance, their thinking and behavior were almost the same as those of human NPCs.

Originally, Li Jue's arrival slightly eased this process, but since the small system suddenly disappeared, everything has been rapidly falling into the abyss of deterioration; the injuries of many zombies in the family have shown signs of recovery. If this continues, they will soon return to the initialization state.

Initialization means that the sub-world will be recycled by the central hub, and it and all its members will no longer exist.

Even though Yinsha, as an original monster, has high-level authority and does not need to enter the garbage station, he no longer has a home.

The Zombie King told them to be careful and try not to lose any more limbs, otherwise it would be unsightly. After his subordinates left, he remained silent.

Previously, in order to start the "Easter" sacrifice, the soft-hearted Yinsha did not have the heart to sacrifice the small boss in the sub-world. The sacrifices he delivered were basically empty shells with his own "core" fragments wrapped around them, so that his power was greatly reduced. In addition, the infinite space was already in the outer layer of the ice shell, which was the weakest and most easily affected. Faced with the chain reaction of the infinite space collapse, he could no longer do anything.

The ghost leader raised the corner of his mouth and leisurely put up a protective shield for several people that would not be affected by the earthquake, so that he could concentrate on watching his colleagues' helplessness.

His soul world is located at the core of infinite space and is the most stable area. Even if it is really swapped with the doomsday world and his territory and people face the same situation, to be honest, he doesn't care.

He had long been tired of the Lord God's rigid zoning management and the central game that required him to play by the rules.

The new world that the Evil God can give him is full of chaos and freedom where the strong prey on the weak and the winner takes all. This is the ultimate paradise he expects.

The vines extended outward along Yuan Jianwu's mask, hissing and slithering, and after a moment, projected other scenes before his eyes.

At this moment, not only the Doomsday World is experiencing abnormalities, but other sub-worlds are also more or less shaken.

In the dragon world, an unprecedented large-scale conflict broke out in Scale City, with power divided by families. The dragons, their mental strength greatly stimulated, rushed forward, vowing to destroy the Elders' Council.

In the ocean world, hundreds of giant whales simultaneously emitted ultra-high frequency sound waves, causing other weak creatures to flee everywhere. Even Tongxin and the Four Spirits could not bear it. At the same time, tsunamis had replaced the waves, and the Bokanger volcano was even more eager to attack.

In the hellish world, the branches of all the trees planted in the castle simultaneously transformed into skeletal arms, fiercely stretching out towards any moving living thing that passed by, fighting fiercely with the man-eating vines;

In the spirit world, countless ghosts uncontrollably descend upon ordinary humans. They are not clear-headed enough to distinguish whether they are of the same kind, and the killing slides uncontrollably into the abyss of slaughter.

In the mechanical world, the rotating shaft structure supporting the sub-world suddenly stopped working. Countless gears fell from the sky, creating endless sparks in the collision with other metals, like a brilliant, devastating meteor shower.

In the "factory," the conveyor belts that delivered all player and sub-world data experienced varying degrees of breakage, distortion, and fusion. Every tiny misalignment meant the complete disappearance of a player.

In the game lobby, players who were on cooldown watched in horror as those around them evaporated without even a cursor to enter the dungeon, and no one knew if their turn would be next.

On the floating island of the "Tower", in the ancient vine that houses the core, all the systems and system assistants that are not on duty are huddled together and trembling. The scorching brightness of the balloons rises and falls. Since they gained self-awareness, they have never experienced such a scene of disorder and chaos.

What's even more terrifying is that the center that originally maintained everything, handled everything, and controlled everything has now fallen into a dormant stagnation.

There was no response at all from praying to the Lord God.

Chaos is like a wave, growing from slow to fast, from far to near, gradually spreading to the entire infinite space.

In the midst of all the upheaval, only one person stood out from the crowd.

After the demon leader took in the conditions in the other sub-worlds, his apparent composure vanished, and a terrifying glint flashed in his eyes behind his mask. "It's the Evil God... He has arrived, and Easter has begun! There's nothing you can do to stop Him..."

He turned to the Zombie King, his eyes fanatical, almost insane, and stared deeply into the latter's red pupils: "Yinsha, why do you have such an expression? Aren't you happy? Isn't this what we have been waiting for?"

Yinsha frowned and said nothing.

The three original monsters, the ghost leader Yuan Jianwu, the zombie king Yinsha, and the hell demon Mephisto, have been dissatisfied with the Lord God and His current system for their own reasons since a long time ago. However, the gap in strength is too big, and they can only secretly hope that one day they can break out of the boring framework.

When they learned that there was an evil god in this world whose power was comparable to that of the main god, they tried every means to find him and support him to become the new king.

This process may have taken hundreds of years, or perhaps years, they don't remember. They only know that the wait outside the fog is long and boring, but it is not in vain.

Yuan Jianwu had a strange obsession with Yinsha. Seeing that the latter remained silent, it seemed as if he had been inspired by some kind of game and was determined to force him to tell something.

The tall zombie king was forced into a corner by the ghost leader. He did not dare to resist and looked at the human next to him for help. He looked a little weak.

Chen Yan, Wei Mingyang: Me? Help you fight the ghost leader?

Yinsha despairingly realized that relying on others (literally) was not as good as relying on herself. She took a deep breath with trembling hands and said as if she had figured it out: "I..."

His voice caught in his throat.

The ruby-like pupils suddenly contracted, revealing the extreme fear that he had never experienced in his life.

Yuan Jianwu's mask was showing signs of cracking. He loosened his grip on Yinsha and turned around, his emotions high and respectful: "Master Evil God, finally..."

The atmosphere in the small room was extremely cold.

With flowing robes and black hair like a waterfall, Herper, the black-faced evil god of the "Twin Thrones", finally emerged from nothingness at this moment after sleeping in the "mist" for tens of thousands of years.

He has a face identical to that of his twin brother, the White-Faced God Sinlia of the "Throne Twins", but his temperament is completely different.

The Lord God is solemn, majestic, and holy. He holds the hammer of divine punishment. He is the rule, He is justice, and He is the law.

The evil god always has a subtle smile on his face, watching for the opportunity to completely overturn the chessboard and start a new game of his own.

Unlike his brother, Helper would not make everyone submit devoutly when he arrived; he often hid in the dark and observed, but when he appeared, everything was already decided, and every self-righteous manipulator was nothing more than his puppet.

As a human being, Chen Yan felt much more oppressed when facing gods than when facing the original monsters. His blood vessels ached slightly, as if they would burst at any time.

Wei Mingyang, who is also a human, had already lost his knees and collapsed to the ground with his eyes wide open.

However, Chen Yan refused to retreat. He withstood the pressure that was like tangible gravity and looked into the evil god's arms with gritted teeth.

——The little cub sleeping soundly was actually the missing Li Jue.
