"So... this is actually a Lich King trying to create the Scourge... No, this is Wolverine trying to create a mutant empire..."
After listening to the report, Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly.
He originally thought that Umbrella's actions were all crazy, but if the information he got was true, then it would be understandable. After all, an "immortal" like Reiya can certainly hide his identity and survive in this world, but no one knows if the place where he lives will be blown to ashes by a bomb one day.
Not only that, compared to ordinary people, the undead are definitely a minority. Once discovered, they are either dragged to the operating table for dissection or directly humanely destroyed. This is more like a war between humans and another race than a fight between humans.
In this case, Fang Zheng could understand Umbrella's idea of using this method to eliminate humans so that they could become the masters of the earth.
If you think about it carefully, the probability of Umbrella's success is still quite high. The virus can wipe out most people and the army, and the creations of human civilization will basically be left behind. The undead at the top of Umbrella can use these creations to continue to develop. Since they are immortal, they certainly don't have to worry about population problems. As for labor, Umbrella's mature cloning technology can already solve these problems.
As for why they want to capture survivors...from what we can see now, it's probably to "eliminate" the enemy.
If Umbrella is allowed to continue developing in this way, perhaps after a hundred or two hundred years, they might actually develop into a different branch of civilization.
However, being able to understand does not mean being able to accept it.
No matter what the past and difficulties of the undead in the Umbrella Protection Team were, this was no reason for them to send billions of people into the abyss of death without authorization. Of course, if Fang Zheng was one of them and had experienced similar pain, he might agree with the Umbrella Protection Team's view. But unfortunately, he was not one of the undead in the Umbrella Protection Team, and... as a paladin, Fang Zheng could not agree with this approach.
"So big brother, what should we do?"
"Um……"
Faced with Xiao Hei's question, Fang Zheng fell silent.
The Dimensional Mage travels through the world, and the power he possesses can overturn a world at will. Take the present for example, Fang Zheng can leave without looking back. Perhaps these undead can really develop a human civilization on Earth that is different from the previous one, perhaps more developed and more efficient.
Of course, it could also be even more evil and cruel.
We can even not rule out a third ending where both sides are destroyed and the world is eventually ruled out by the octopus.
As for the fourth ending...
"Let's go out and take a look first."
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng shook his head, then he stood up and walked out of the room and came to the hall. Many survivors had gathered here. The zombie idols were hugging each other, shouting and jumping, looking extremely happy. On the other side, four other survivors also formed a circle. Among them, Hu Tao was holding the hand of another long-haired girl and saying something, while the ancestral hall Kei next to him was hugging a short-haired girl tightly... It seemed that the two knew each other.
“Ahem.”
Although the scene of reunion after a long separation was very touching, Fang Zheng still had to cough a few times to interrupt their greetings. There would be plenty of time for them to chat after arriving at Tiandao Palace, so it was better to solve some practical problems now.
Hearing Fang Zheng's cough, the people who were chatting turned around and looked at him. Looking at everyone, Fang Zheng nodded, then pulled a chair from the side and sat down.
"Okay, everyone. I know this may be a little sudden, but we still have to talk about some serious things. I think you should already know that so far, besides you, there are basically few survivors on this planet. Apart from the zombies, the rest are probably people from the Umbrella Corporation. So, my suggestion is to transfer all of you to the Tiandao Palace."
Having said this, Fang Zheng paused and carefully observed the expressions of the crowd.
"I'd like to make it clear in advance that if you go to Tiandao Palace, you will not be able to return to this world, so... you'd better be mentally prepared."
“We have no problem!”
As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, the blond zombie from the zombie idol group raised his hand high.
"We are willing to go to Tiandao Palace, but...will we scare others in this state?"
For these zombie idols, they don't have any special thoughts about this. It should be said that being able to continue their idol activities in a completely new environment is more in line with their wishes. However, the appearance of these zombies is really scary. According to them, when they were carrying out idol activities before, their managers did the makeup for them.
However, that person or something else has disappeared...
"Don't worry, I have a solution."
Fang Zheng was very calm about the zombie girls' worries. He didn't know any amazing makeup skills, but the biotechnology of the Zerg in Tiandao Palace crushed everything and was far superior to the protection of these two knives.
There was no need to even go back, Fang Zheng had already thought of a way to restore them to their original form - just cover the skin of these zombie girls with a layer of amoeba film, and then let it absorb the information in the cells to replicate and deform, and it would be easy to change their appearance back to what it was like when they were alive.
Hearing that Fang Zheng had a solution, the zombie girls naturally stopped worrying and nodded and sat down again.
As for the other side...
"Excuse me, sir, is it true that we... can't return to this world?"
A petite pink-haired woman in a purple dress stood up and asked Fang Zheng uneasily. If Fang Zheng remembered correctly, her name was Sakura Ji, a teacher at Xunzhiaoka Academy and the leader among the students.
Of course, with her height, I think some people would believe that she is a junior high school student.
"That's right. Tiandao Palace is located in another world. We came here through an accidental transmission channel. If we leave, we will never be able to return to this world."
Having said this, Fang Zheng paused for a moment and then looked at Sakura Ci.
"In fact, I hope that you, Miss Sakura Ji, can go to Tiandao Palace."
"Huh? Why?"
"I think you've already met Tina, Xia Shi, and Cui."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached out and touched the heads of the little guys around him.
"To be honest, there are still many children of similar age in Tiandao Palace, but our teaching staff... is not sufficient."
Fang Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still did not tell the specific number, for fear of frightening the teacher to faint. But what he said was true. The teaching staff of Tiandao Palace was quite short. Thanks to the blessing of high technology, Nymph and others were able to impart knowledge to those students through remote video lectures.
However, Fang Zheng still felt that it was a bit weird to have dozens of students sitting in a classroom and staring at the screen in front of them. Although it was not so advanced, he still felt that having a teacher to guide the class in person... was more humane.
But it is not easy to find good teachers.
After the system upgrade, Fang Zheng's summoning card pool also changed. In the past, Fang Zheng could summon soul stones, summoning stones, equipment stones and the like. But now after the upgrade, not only can he draw stones, but he can also draw real equipment and various other things...
Well... to be honest, Fang Zheng really doesn't know whether this is progress or regression...
After all, if you put furniture, equipment, and vehicles into one card pool, does this increase the chance of drawing cards or reduce the chance of drawing cards?
It's probably the latter. After all, this system has become a scam.
For example, the Sorry Guarantee of Ten Consecutive Steels or something like that...
In addition, the upgraded system's ordinary card pool and limited card pool have been merged, which means that Fang Zheng can only draw three times a month in the future...
Under such circumstances, it would be harder than climbing to the sky for him to pick a qualified teacher.
This person not only has a very good reputation among students, but also can always protect her students in the face of disasters. She has decent character and is a professional teacher. She is definitely better than Nymph and others who are forced to do something. So if possible, Fang Zheng still hopes to trick this person... No, he wants to invite her to the Tiandao Palace.
As for what Sakura Ji would teach him, well... probably something about ideology and politics, moral sentiments, or... physical hygiene?
If you think about it carefully, the last one is quite important.
Especially for the Tiandao Palace.
"I see."
Sakura Ci obviously didn't know how big a hole Fang Zheng had dug for her, but when she saw the children standing next to Fang Zheng, her vocation as a teacher prevailed in her heart, so Sakura Ci nodded and said nothing more.
"We will go to...Tiandao Palace."
"very good."
After hearing Sakuraji's decision, Fang Zheng finally felt relieved. Then he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.
"Then let's go without further delay..."
When rescuing these people, Fang Zheng had a premonition that his mission in this world was almost accomplished. Sure enough, when he used his power this time, the portal that was originally unusable suddenly appeared. A series of flames rose from the ground and quickly formed a huge door.
When they saw the flaming door, everyone was shocked... Although they were mentally prepared, they still found it a little unbelievable when they were faced with such a strange phenomenon.
"Xia Shi, you and Tina go first and explain the situation to the others."
While maintaining the crossing gate, Fang Zheng spoke to Xia Shi beside him. It would be fine for others, but if these zombie idols go there without explaining clearly, they might be burned to ashes by the fire of existence of their own people. So to be on the safe side, it is better to find someone to explain clearly first.
"Okay, Brother Fangzheng."
Hearing Fang Zheng's order, Xia Shi nodded, and then he and Tina walked into the flaming gate. Fang Zheng waited for a moment, then made a gesture to the others.
"Well, everyone, please come in."
"Okay, let's go!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the zombie idols were the first to respond. They stood up and walked in happily as if they were on a picnic. On the other side, however, Ancestral Hall Kei, Sanhua Reiya and others were not so forthcoming. They hesitated, looking back every three steps, as if they wanted to leave but also didn't want to leave...
But Fang Zheng could understand. Although this world has been almost destroyed by Umbrella, it is still the place where they were born and raised. Even if they know that staying here will only lead to danger, but... they will probably still be reluctant to leave.
"Okay, let's go, kids."
Finally, it was Sakura Ci who clapped her hands, and the other girls turned around and lined up to walk into the flame gate. Fang Zheng watched them silently until finally, only he and Xiao Hei were left.
"Big brother, shall we go too?"
"Wait, before that, did you get what I asked you to get?"
"Hehehe, of course I got it."
In response to Fang Zheng's question, the little black girl smiled mischievously, then she reached out and took out a small black suitcase from behind and opened it.
Inside, green and blue ** reagents were lying quietly.
That is what Umbrella uses to spread the biohazard - a catalyst.
