Tyr was excited; the unease he had just felt due to the global changes vanished instantly.
No matter how strong Tyr felt about himself and how confident he was, he couldn't carry the whole country alone. Now his task was to support the entire nation, which put a lot of pressure on him.
"Long time no see!" Agareth and Tyr embraced. "I hope everything goes well this time."
“It might not go very smoothly. Let me break your confidence.” Shi Yin stood aside with her arms crossed. “This time, please make sure not a single zombie is left alive. They are coming from the direction of Yanlong Kingdom. If they break through this defense line… you know the consequences.”
"Don't worry, we'll do our best." Tyr said helplessly, "With Agarai coming to help, how could we not win?"
"This is the second thing I want to say, and I hope you are mentally prepared," Shi Yin said calmly. "I can sense the presence of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse."
The world was silent for a long time.
"What?" Agarai and Tyr exclaimed almost simultaneously.
"Wait, Shi Yin! Don't joke around. It's only the early stages of the apocalypse. The cold wave hasn't even arrived yet. Where did the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse come from?" Tyr's face turned pale. "Do you know what this means? It's a world-class disaster. The superhumans have only just awakened. Apart from us, no one can stand up to them."
“This is completely illogical. The world's progress shouldn't be this much faster than humanity's; we've only just awakened.” Agarai also found it absurd: “This speed is a bit too exaggerated.”
“Once we face the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, you’ll have to use more than 50% of your power. We’re at least 70%. If the Mirror Zombies appear, how will we fight them?” Tyr felt like his mentality was about to collapse.
Ye Shaoheng and Ye Yuansong couldn't understand why the two countries' top combat forces, who had just been chatting and laughing calmly, suddenly turned pale and were radiating anxiety.
They looked at each other in bewilderment. The zombie apocalypse guide that Shi Yin had compiled for them did not include the mirror zombie, but judging from their exclamations, Tyr and Agarai seemed to be very wary of this mirror zombie.
"Of course not the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse at their peak. Since you both know that the progress of the disaster won't be much faster than that of humanity, why didn't you think of that?" Shi Yin calmly looked at the two who were making a fuss.
“No wonder so many zombies suddenly appeared this time… wait a minute.” Agarai was reminded of something, but as he thought about it, his face turned pale, and he pulled Shi Yin aside.
"Are you crazy? You're just going to go along with this mastermind?" Agarai's tone was full of disbelief. "He wants to start a war, so you start a war? Are you kidding me?"
“Agarai, that’s not how you use your intelligence. I can grant your wish soon, but until then, you just need to do your job.”
Shi Yin ignored the anxious Agare and walked back to Tyr.
“This is just a war involving tens of thousands of people. Of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, I only sensed one. It should be called ‘War.’” Shi Yin looked at Tyr: “But don’t worry, I will handle this. You just need to eliminate those zombie armies and reduce my burden.”
“And my little cookies,” Tyr said immediately. “Please be sure to bring my dear child back.”
“Of course, ensuring the safety of the hostages is my duty.” Shi Yin nodded: “Major General, Ye Shaoheng, let’s go.”
"Hey? We can go too!" Ye Shaoheng followed excitedly.
The SUV was large, not only with a stylish and sturdy exterior, but also with a very comfortable interior. From the moment the vehicle was parked here, Ye Shaoheng's eyes never left it.
Once inside, Ye Shaoheng was even more excited. Every corner was exquisite, without a trace of strange smell, and the comfortable seats made him want to lie down and take a nap.
The sound traveled very quickly, and the Black Bat Heavy Prison appeared in front of the three of them.
This prison has clearly been renovated; the buildings inside have been heightened, and the surrounding fences and walls have doubled in height, covered with electric fences and spikes. Each prison area has its own independent energy cycle.
The appearance of crystal cores is not a secret; the lowest level of ordinary zombies can only produce a purple crystal core the size of a grain of rice.
These crystal nuclei, which are rich in impurities and difficult to absorb, are mostly used as power sources or fuel, and are much more durable and stable than ordinary coal and diesel oil.
A heavily guarded prison is indeed a safe haven, but its only advantage is safety. The arable land inside is too small, which means that their food source is most likely to be robbed from outside.
In the apocalypse, the most common source of sharp conflict is food shortage; zombies are not as terrifying as hunger.
"Faherthong, did you send the message I asked you to?" Shi Yin asked while driving.
[Yes, Master. A message has been sent directly to the prison's central control center, revealing Major General Ye's identity and requesting negotiations with Volga's soldier Xiong.]
[The other party has agreed. A large number of zombies have been detected inside the prison. They have professional mercenaries and firearms. Please remain vigilant and pay attention to your safety.]
"Hmm," Shi Yin replied indifferently.
"Sister Yin, what did you just say?" Ye Shaoheng was a little confused. Shi Yin suddenly talking to herself startled him.
"It's nothing. Helmod implanted an artificial system in my mind, which makes things more convenient," Shi Yin replied casually. "It's more obedient than the natural system the country currently has."
[Indeed, Phaethon served only his master, without asking for anything in return or having any other motive.]
"They can't hear you." Shi Yin kept her eyes straight ahead, and with a turn, she flung the zombie that had just managed to hit the car more than ten meters away.
[But Phaethon also wanted to make his position clear: gaining the master's trust is a necessary process in the system.]
"Shiyin, what's this about the mirror zombies you were just discussing?" Ye Yuansong shot him a glare, and Ye Shaoheng immediately sat up straight in his seat. "I heard you were just discussing ability usage levels. Is that why you limited ability users to only use their abilities up to level 3?"
Think back to when Shi Yin first issued the order, requiring all ability users not to use their abilities more than 3.
The order immediately sparked widespread opposition and skepticism, but Shi Yin's firm stance eventually led to everyone accepting it.
"Can't you tell from the name? As the name suggests, it can mirror the abilities used by humans, and it shares the same origin as my superpower." Shi Yin snorted coldly: "But it's too low-level, far inferior to mine."
"It can copy and paste the power used by humans. In other words, if I use 30% of my power and it is copied over, then you will face [me] with 30% of my power. However, they have no possibility of growth; it can only copy a fixed value."
"There are only two ways to deal with him. First, proceed step by step and conceal your strengths from the beginning, leaving enough room for the zombies to replicate and for your own resistance, so that you can stretch the battle line very far."
"Second... When a superhuman goes all out to activate their superpower, the mirror zombie cannot replicate them, but fully activating the superpower also means that the superhuman will definitely die."
