Chapter 697 The Zombie King Awakens
Time flies, and before we knew it, half a month had passed.
Inside the ice city, everything is proceeding according to plan.
Batch after batch of combat personnel were trained, and the master craftsmen under Hank were still working hard to forge weapons, while the surrounding defenses were being deployed at an accelerated pace.
At this moment, the walls surrounding Ice City had already reached a height of 50 meters. Despite this, Qingyu still ordered his soldiers to reinforce them.
Everything everyone did was for the sake of the great battle that was about to begin!
...
During this period, Han Shuo would occasionally use communication devices to contact the elderly woman.
Unfortunately, the satellites still couldn't find any trace of the Zombie King.
This king of all zombie creatures has not yet completed his final evolution!
However, Han Shuo didn't pay too much attention to this matter, because good news came that Cheng Shenghong's muscles had completely returned to normal.
Right now, these two brothers are having a great time sparring outside the city...
...
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sounds of fists clashing against flesh rang out continuously as the two figures exchanged rapid blows.
This sparring session allowed Cheng Shenghong to rediscover that familiar fighting spirit. In his clear-headed state, he was able to control the nanobots attached to his skin with even greater ease.
Because it was a friendly match, neither of them fought to the death.
Cheng Shenghong did not use artillery shells to bombard Han Shuo, and Han Shuo did not use his meteorite Tang sword.
Nevertheless, the gap between the two sides was still too obvious. Even if Han Shuo was unarmed, he would have to occasionally make some appropriate concessions.
Otherwise, Cheng Shenghong would probably have been defeated in just a few exchanges...
...
A few minutes later, the match ended.
The two, slightly out of breath, looked at each other, nodded, and burst into hearty laughter.
"Hahaha! That's awesome!"
"Hahaha! That was a fantastic fight!"
After catching his breath, Cheng Shenghong stepped forward and gave Han Shuo a thumbs up.
"Brother Han, your level 9.5 is indeed strong! Every move you make is difficult for me to deal with!"
"Brother Demon Man, don't be modest. You and Fatty are both level 5 right now, but you're much stronger than him!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After Han Shuo's joke, the two of them burst into laughter again.
Indeed, in these two people's eyes, the fat guy was really a bit weak...
...
At this moment, Han Shuo suddenly remembered something and spoke up.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Yao Nan, when I went to see Dr. Lin yesterday, he said that there have been some breakthroughs in technology recently, and he can remove all the nanorobots from your skin."
What do you think?
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shenghong's smile vanished, and a look of melancholy appeared in his eyes.
He raised his arm, watching the nanobots wriggle in his palm, and after a long period of contemplation, shook his head.
"Forget it, Brother Han."
"Although I look like neither human nor ghost now, I can say that I've turned misfortune into blessing."
"This mech suit can enhance my combat capabilities. With the great battle approaching, I need to have this kind of powerful strength!"
"Another major surgery could take forever to recover..."
...
"All right."
Han Shuo nodded and didn't try to persuade him any further.
Indeed, through the sparring match just now, he had gained a clearer understanding of Cheng Shenghong's current strength.
Back when he was only level 3, he could fight his level 6 self to a standstill with this mech.
Han Shuo believed that after level 5 evolution, coupled with this mecha suit, Cheng Shenghong would have at least the combat capabilities of a level 7 genetically engineered human.
In life-or-death struggles, they can be even stronger! Their ability to bombard from all directions is unmatched by genetically engineered humans.
After all, this kind of cross-level combat is not common among genetically modified humans.
...
Moreover, Cheng Shenghong's body had not yet reached its limit at this moment.
His initial test results showed that his condition was even better than Xiao Zhao's, and he was still eligible for another injection of turbid fluid.
However... when that old man was modifying him, the nanotechnology had already severely damaged his muscle tissue. According to Li Shurou's analysis some time ago, the next level of evolution, level 6, may be the limit of Cheng Shenghong's body.
Because level 7 evolution enhances muscle control, and with his damaged body, his muscles can no longer support this improvement...
...
Nevertheless, Cheng Shenghong was not discouraged.
For him, reaching level 6 is already quite good given his physical condition.
He even believed that after completing the sixth evolutionary modification, he should be able to surpass the genetically evolved level 8 humans with this mecha.
Stronger than level 8, weaker than level 9? Becoming the third strongest in Ice City? This was something Cheng Shenghong never expected...
...
The two then chatted for a while longer.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Han Shuo, who was sweating, couldn't help but shiver.
"call--!"
He exhaled a breath of air and frowned.
"Strange, winter should be over by now, but it feels like it's getting colder and colder."
"The daytime temperature outside must be well below -20 degrees Celsius now. This winter has been unusually long..."
...
At this moment, Cheng Shenghong, who was preparing to return ahead, turned around and saw Han Shuo still standing in the same spot, and asked him in confusion.
"Hey? Brother Han, what are you muttering to yourself?"
"nothing."
Han Shuo stopped thinking about it, smiled and responded, then hurriedly chased after them from behind.
...
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the bio-engineered humans in the far west.
As usual, Bai Fa sat at his workbench, sifting through the photos sent back by the satellite that day.
Suddenly, her gaze settled on one of the photos.
The next moment, the white-haired man stared wide-eyed at the screen, stood there stunned for a few seconds, then immediately turned and ran out the door.
As she ran, she shouted anxiously.
"Everyone! Pack your things now! We're heading to Ice City immediately!"
...
Somewhere in the world.
The once boundless sea suddenly became turbulent today, with strong winds blowing and dark clouds appearing on the horizon!
This is where the Zombie King sleeps!
The extremely cold air caused some of the waters along the coast to freeze.
However! Even on this relatively calm ice surface, cracks began to appear one after another!
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang..."
A dense network of cracks crisscrossed the entire ice surface. Suddenly! A pair of pure white eyes abruptly appeared from beneath the ice!
"Bang!"
A giant hand broke through the ice, tearing the ice surface apart!
The next moment, a scarlet figure covered in ice crystals broke through the ice!
The Zombie King has finally completed its final transformation!
He has finally and officially woken up today!
