Chapter 288 New Undead
Wei Huan's spiritual consciousness rushed up directly, and with the opponent's scream coming to an abrupt end, he ignited the fire of death in the opponent's soul with almost no effort.
The whole process was even simpler than recruiting the Thought Beast, all because Wei Huan had 33 points of dark control.
The attribute of "Dark Domination" is very special. Currently, the only thing Wei Huan knows is that it makes it easier for him to recruit high-level undead, and he has a natural suppressing and controlling effect on the undead.
Including this undead that looks more advanced than the beast of destiny, it is still no problem.
With the recruitment successful, Wei Huan ordered the undead he had recruited with great fanfare to come to him on their own initiative.
There was a movement in the mud pile, and a not-too-big object jumped out and stopped in front of Wei Huan.
Wei Huan was stunned when he saw what was in front of him, but before he could take a closer look, he felt a strong pulling force.
The time for him to stay in the Temple of Occupations was up, and he was driven out by an irresistible force.
He looked at the new undead that were moving away quickly, as well as the ground of this great tomb world. This time, he did not leave this world the next second like before, but was pulled up into the sky as if by a rocket. Although it was fast, it was not so fast that he could not see anything.
He saw the world shrinking, and saw that this world finally turned into the shape of a tomb, and then he saw the large tomb next to it.
When his gaze fell, there seemed to be some kind of terrified roar coming from the tomb in that direction. The undead spirits in the tomb, which he had never been able to see clearly in the past, he could see clearly this time. He also saw that they seemed to sense something and were looking over at him.
Wei Huan knew that he had advanced to Sequence Six.
He became a "plague spreader". From today on, his reputation will spread throughout these piles of graves. He will infect them like a plague, assimilate them, and finally turn them into his own power, returning to the world and becoming a disaster.
The name of [Sequence Seven: Disaster Apostle] comes from this.
…
The energy of the advanced sequence six was sealed in the dark source room, and no one in the chariot could feel it. From today on, the combat effectiveness of their chariot would be qualitatively improved again.
At this moment, Mu Zhongzheng and several other tank commanders remained silent.
Pandit, his chariot, and the 999 crew members were captured by the divine surge because of his greed.
It is not known whether they are still alive. All we know is that the power in the divine surge invaded their bodies, controlling them to leave the chariot and jump into the deep sea.
The terrifying and untouchable divine surge was like a safe passage. They swam quickly in the divine surge. Many people had left in this short while. Mu Zhong and others could only watch helplessly and could not stop them.
By the time the people in the cab jumped out, some people could no longer bear it.
Someone he knew showed up, and it seemed Pandit's turn was almost up.
Pandit was only the tank captain, not the strongest person on their tank, so it was impossible for him to successfully resist and be rescued by luck. If these people were already dead, then he would be dead too.
The driver from Fence Country had been very active before. Even though he was the one being rescued and the one in the wrong, he still tried to do things at his own pace.
But this time, it seemed that he saw the tragic state of Pandit's chariot with his own eyes, which really made him feel terrified. He had not spoken for a long time.
The Tula tank commander would occasionally say, "From the moment we entered the energy cluster to the moment the doors opened and the first person jumped out, it took less than a minute for the entire vehicle to be destroyed. Deputy Commander Mu, tell me the truth, isn't the same situation happening to General Qiao Xi? They're not even in the tank anymore. So is there any point for us to stay here? We should leave."
Mu Zhong insisted on his original reason: “Whether General Qiao Xi has had the same experience or not, since we are here, we must give Osam an explanation.
I don't know if you have noticed that General Joshi's chariot has obvious signs of aging, as if it has been here for hundreds of years.
Perhaps this force is the power of time, or perhaps it's eroding and absorbing the chariot's energy. In any case, the interior of the chariot has rusted, causing great trouble for our AI invasion. Three days is just a conservative estimate; the actual time may be longer."
"..." The tank commanders were silent for a moment. "You think you're right because you have a strong fist, but do you think everyone else is stupid?" It was no secret that Mu Zhong possessed the super AI "Heart of Steel." Take the world map Mu Zhong had just pulled out. Where did he get it? Wasn't it the super AI who gave it to him? If they could even map the world, how could they not be able to hack into the AI system of an ordinary tank?
There must be some secret under the sea, which made Wei Huan stay here with an excuse.
But this time, everyone had completely given up the idea of exploring. Pandit's men were still jumping out. The whole scene was silent and terrifying, but it was the loudest bell ringing in everyone's heads, waking everyone up.
That’s right, places that Wei Huan can go, they may not be able to go. There is a huge difference in strength between them, so why bother to humiliate themselves?
When Pandit jumped out, the captains' grief reached its peak.
Mu Zhong was also in a heavy mood.
He didn't like Pandit, and even thought it didn't matter if he died, but so many people on the bus were innocent, and he tried his best to save them, but unfortunately he failed. Let these people go to hell and settle the score with Pandit.
Pulling himself out of the heavy emotions, Mu Zhong observed the direction of Shen Yong through the Iron Heart. He saw that the power that was originally released outwards was being recovered as if after capturing prey. Mu Zhong discovered that Shen Yong also used this method to take away the challengers whose bodies were occupied.
Now, the power in the divine surge finally began to dissipate after taking this group of people away, as if it had completed its mission. This form was very similar to the one when they first saw General Qiao Xi's chariot.
In other words, General Josh's accident actually happened not long ago, perhaps just a moment before they arrived. If they had been faster... it would be a bit regrettable that they couldn't rescue him.
Mu Zhong ordered Iron Heart to track the direction of the challenger in Shen Yongli.
The authority of the Heart of Steel was restricted in many ways. There were some things that it could have done easily, but it could not do them without orders. Therefore, Mu Zhong always gave it various instructions. The purpose was not to really explore anything, but to try to use these methods to lift the restrictions and obtain more intelligence.
This time is the same. Iron Heart is heading to the final destination according to his orders, and that will also be their next battlefield.
At present, all the controlled human challengers have gone there, and there may be many indigenous people and survivors there as well. This battle will not be easy to fight, and the more and more detailed intelligence we get, the better.
Just then, Iron Heart told him that Wei Huan had advanced.
The energy in the dark energy training room is disordered. This is a phenomenon during a breakthrough. Wei Huan is a seven-star awakening. Before he awakens to sequence eight, he does not need to worry about the issue of awakening potions.
The steward AI also said: "After the captain advanced, he went directly to the Undead Ranch and told me not to worry, everything went smoothly. See you in three days."
Then, the AI housekeeper said, "The energy in Xia Yu's room has also begun to become unstable. Xia Yu has just requested a Level 6 Advanced Potion from the warehouse."
Is this a double blessing? Mu Zhong was delighted, yet also a little worried: "Is it okay to advance both the dark energy and the light sacred energy simultaneously on the chariot?"
The two AIs answered him at the same time, no.
Light and darkness are not absolute opposites, and what's more, this is just an advanced sequence. Although they restrain each other, that's all.
Mu Zhong thought about it and knew he had to delay for three days. Then he said to all the train drivers waiting for him, "No matter what, we have to open that door and go in to see what's going on."
Mu Zhong ordered the chariot to return to General Qiao Xi's chariot, and everyone had no choice but to follow. This place was too scary! And rather than standing here and watching the empty chariot with everyone leaving, it would be better to have a little bit of luck and hope that General Qiao Xi and the others were still trapped in the car.
In short, they can't survive a day in this place without Wei Huan's chariot. Now everyone has given up. You can do whatever you want, as long as you can bring us back safely.
As for escaping into the foggy space and returning to Blue Star from here, there is no need to consider it at all.
Unless they don't want to be challengers anymore, the next time they return, they will still be here. Without Wei Huan's chariot, they will surely die.
It was a good thing that everyone was quiet. While Mu Zhong was waiting for Wei Huan to advance and come out of seclusion, he asked Iron Heart to analyze the flow data of the divine surge.
He knew that Wei Huan's advancement only raised his own upper limit. The gravekeeper sequence had a disadvantage, which was that advancement could not make one stronger immediately. If he wanted to fully absorb and digest the advancement sequence, all of his undead must go to the Undead Ranch, and each one had to be trained individually.
It takes a day to upgrade a level 5 Undead with five-star grass, and I wonder how many days it will take to upgrade it to level 6? Can I make it to the appointment in three days?
...Forget it, it doesn't matter. No one dares to question them now. Only a bloody lesson can tell right from wrong.
…
"Three days..."
Wei Huan frowned slightly as he looked at the decreasing durability of the six-star grass and the undead spirits that returned to the tree tumors one by one, just like returning to the womb to transform into embryos.
Although I guessed early on that it would take three days to reach level six, when I actually confirmed it would take three days, I still felt it was too long.
With the continuous growth of his undead army and the increase in the number of undead he recruits every day, I am afraid that some undead will always have to wait in line and may not even get a turn. Making choices has become inevitable.
The heroic undead naturally have to follow his progress, and the two-headed hidden demon, as his most commonly used combat unit, must be the first to complete the upgrade.
But we cannot only improve the air forces, the ground forces are also indispensable, including the Shuroma. Although they are now used as cannon fodder, resistant cannon fodder and non-resistant cannon fodder are two different things after all, and the one is much more useful.
I'm afraid that all the wolves in the army cannot be upgraded, but Brother Tao's army must have a strong enough number of wolves to command so that it can complete the task assigned to it.
There is also the Violent Bear Legion, whose entire members must be at level six. As the most durable "tank unit", without them to withstand the artillery fire, there would be no terrifying scene of the Undead Army that was as terrible as a natural disaster.
The Lord of the Demon Eye... the flying monkey... the dog-headed man...
Thinking about it all the way, Wei Huan found that even double the amount of undead grass would not be enough. Moreover, even if all the undead he had were upgraded to sequence six, it would probably take nearly a year. This meant he had one more thing to do every day.
In addition, Wei Huan's gaze fell behind him.
Behind him were low-level forage. Every undead he recruited needed to be upgraded from level one. Today, he had recruited only a few undead, twelve two-headed hidden demons and one of that fellow...
Just as I was thinking about it, the first-level grass upgraded very quickly, and the undead wrapped in it fell off. One after another, two-headed hidden demons broke through the tree knot and flew out, their aura was much stronger than at the beginning.
They flew in the air, flapping their wings and shaking their bodies, and the sticky grass fell to the ground. It was as if they had adapted to a stronger body. After moving their hands and feet for a while, they followed Wei Huan's orders and went to the "Two-Star Grass".
They came to the grass, tore open the amber-colored tree tumor with blood streaks with their claws, and plunged into it. After a while of gurgling, a lot of amber juice flowed out, but the cracks on the surface of the tree tumor healed soon, and the tightly wrapped two-headed hidden demon also completely quieted down.
The higher the level, the more blood threads there are in the tree tumor, which is obviously the key to raising the level of the undead. The amber juice is just a substance like amniotic fluid. It is better to say that it is continuously nourishing the blood threads rather than raising the level of the undead.
This time, it took five minutes.
When the two-headed hidden demon with a much stronger aura came out and had been in the three-star pasture for a while, the one-star pasture that Wei Huan had been paying attention to finally moved.
It takes longer than the time to advance to an elite level. It is indeed the strongest undead that I have been expecting.
The grass broke open from inside, and a cloud of white mist floated out. Wei Huan called it over, and it floated in front of Wei Huan, allowing Wei Huan to take a closer look.
Looking at the cloud-like white mist in front of him, Wei Huan doubted whether it was the undead spirit of the Dark Beast King as he thought it was?
However, considering the Dark Beast King's versatile abilities, they were able to face off against this White Cloud Ball.
The white cloud dumpling has no facial features and looks like a white round ball. But if you look at it carefully from a different angle, it looks like a turtle, which of course makes Wei Huan feel creepy. If you look at it more carefully, you will find that the other parts look more like the brain of a living creature.
The left and right cerebral hemispheres, as well as the grooves and lines on the brain, are the same as those of a living brain, even the brain stem.
It's not just humans, the brains of the Dark Beasts also look like this.
This thing whose true identity is a brain, turns out to be the Dark Beast King?
What exactly is the Dark Beast Clan?
As a bee colony civilization, are those bottom-level dark beasts commanded by these brains? But the form of the brain is different from the species of dark beasts. One is a carbon-based life form, and the other is completely a spiritual body.
Wei Huan thought of a possibility, but felt that it was unlikely. After all, the Dark Beast King had been successfully dominated by him and became a member of his undead army. It was obvious that its existence was in accordance with the rules of the world, and it was not some kind of invading evil alien life.
In addition, Wei Huan thought of the information revealed by Iron Heart before leaving the Dark Beast plane, "Twin Pillar Mountains of Heaven", "Ditch of the Abyss of the Earth", "Shadow of the World", "Bright Stars", and now the fact that the true body of the Dark Beast Royal Family is actually the "brain". He thought that his strength had broken through, but he did not realize that the further he went, the more secrets he revealed.
Wei Huan came back to his senses. This brain, this dark beast king was still floating in front of him. Wei Huan thought about it, and smoke shrouded it. Then it turned into a Bichon Frise wagging its tail, jumping in the air and going to the two-star pasture.
No matter what, the Dark Beast King Family has a higher star rank and must be stronger. Apart from anything else, the Dark Beast King Family's ability to use the dark beasts to obtain giant body forms is very good. Wei Huan doesn't have much else, but he has a lot of undead. When he goes out to fight, he has a group of giant legions following behind him, which is quite powerful.
Upgrading and obtaining new undead is always a good thing. Once the level reaches a certain level, you can slowly study its abilities.
…
In a blink of an eye, three days passed.
The three chariots that had left tactfully also returned.
They must have discussed this privately beforehand. When the Great Bear Nation's captain, Kritov, approached Mu Zhong, he immediately said, "We need to uncover the true secrets here before we leave, right? I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, but Commander Wei hasn't appeared in three days. I heard a while ago that Commander Wei was about to achieve a breakthrough, meaning our first Sequence Six will soon be born."
The Great Bear Kingdom and Daxia are strategic allies and have always been close. Lieutenant General Kritov also has a good relationship with the leaders of the major legions of Daxia.
It's just that it was Mu Dehao's generation that originally maintained the relationship, but now they are managed by Mu Zhong's younger generation. It took him a long time to adjust psychologically.
Of course, since he is here now, it means that his mood has adjusted and he can look at the current relationship between the superiors and subordinates very calmly.
Towards Lieutenant General Daxiong, whom Mu Zhong could call uncle, Mu Zhong showed a completely different attitude from that of other tank commanders.
He said: "Yes, the commander is not only breaking through, but has already successfully broken through and is now sorting out the upgrades.
We've discovered something unusual on the seabed, but it's too dangerous there, and only Sequence Six can explore. We have to wait for the Commander to finish sorting it out before we can proceed."
Kritov nodded tactfully, "If you need anything, just let me know."
"Aren't you curious about what's under the sea?" Mu Zhong asked him with a smile.
Kritov smiled and said, "May I know?"
"Not yet."
Kritov raised his eyebrows, but was not angry.
Mu Zhong continued, "But I can tell you that there are indeed gods in this world."
Kritov's face changed drastically.
After finishing his conversation with Kritov, Xu Qingqiang, who was standing by, picked his teeth and said, "Why are you talking again? Are you teasing the old man?"
Mu Zhong smiled and said, "True allies are different. Some secrets cannot be shared, but we can't keep them secret. If you are too clear-cut, you will easily lose friends."
"Tsk, politicians are so annoying."
"This is a favor, Brother Qiang."
"Okay, okay." Xu Qingqiang waved his hands, looked at the meat he had picked out from between his teeth, thought for a moment, and put it back into his mouth. Then he said, "When will the boss come out? I heard he hasn't eaten in three days. Aren't you worried?"
"Indeed, I am a little worried about it. Anyway, I am free now. I will go up and take a look."
"Isn't there a butler watching over you?"
"I feel sad." Mu Zhong smiled.
"Huh~!" Xu Qingqiang looked disgusted.
After Mu Zhong finished speaking, he briefly explained what happened after he left. Under Xu Qingzhong's arrogant gaze, he took the elevator in the driver's cab and went directly upstairs.
He missed Wei Huan and felt sorry for him as he hadn't eaten for three days. And judging by the time, it was almost time for him to come out.
Wei Huan is a punctual person. As long as I remember the time, I will be able to pick him up.
Mu Zhong brought the food back to their room, but Wei Huan wasn't there. Ever since they'd returned to Challenge World, they'd been so busy working that they hadn't even returned to their room. The room was pristine, like new, and the sheets on the large bed, filled with memories, were smooth and crisp.
Mu Zhong walked around the house without any hurry. Instead, he placed the food he had brought on the dining table on the balcony. After thinking for a while, he placed a branch of bright red roses on the table.
Mu Zhong, who had just finished doing all this, heard the noise behind him. He turned around and saw Wei Huan walking out of the Undead Ranch with a haggard look in his eyes.
"You've worked hard." Mu Zhong stepped forward to hug the man, then took his hand and pressed him to the dining table. "I know you're very resilient, but a lot has happened in the past few days. Let's talk while we eat."
Wei Huan nodded, feeling very touched to see Mu Zhong right after coming out. He glanced at the food on the table and the gorgeous rose, then kissed the back of Mu Zhong's hand: "You've worked hard too. Wait for me."
Wei Huan simply washed up before returning to the dining table, but by then he had already learned the news and cause of Pandit's death.
He wasn't that hungry to begin with, and now his appetite was even worse. He frowned and said, "So this time you saw the people in Pandit's car leave through the divine surge?"
Mu Zhong also ate with them and replied, "Well, the divine surge that is extremely terrifying to us is harmless to them. Do you think it is possible that humans can be exposed to the divine surge?"
Wei Huan shook his head: "It's impossible to test it on humans. What does the Iron Heart say?"
"Iron Shell, I won't reveal anything. I've been trying to get more information these past few days, but I only know that the Divine Surge isn't a life form, but a residual mechanism."
"Residual mechanism?"
"Or perhaps it's instinct. After a person dies, their body actually continues to function for a while before completely dying. The same is true for so-called gods, of course. The difference is that their instincts last longer after death and are relatively more complex. They might continue to capture food, search for beneficial bacteria, or control their own survivors to replace their arms and search for more things needed to sustain life. But they themselves probably don't have the ability to think."
"I understand what you mean. Although He is a god that we humans have never come into contact with, He is dead and that is it. We cannot understand God through 'dialogue'."
"Yes, but research is possible. Speaking of which, I have to praise you. Whether it's a Level 5 or a Level 6 world, you insist on bringing researchers into the Challenge World. You are truly forward-thinking. Who could have imagined that we would one day come to study gods?"
"I haven't thought too much about it. I just think that the road ahead cannot be one of martial arts alone. Those who are good at physical strength are not good at brain power. Both sides must complement each other."
“That’s the pattern.”
"So it's only been three days, are you trying to flatter me?"
"Haha, just to cheer you up, don't you like it?"
Wei Huan looked at Mu Zhong, who had a playful smile on his face. "Is everything alright? I feel refreshed."
"Seeing you happy, I've become more talkative without realizing it." Mu Zhong looked deeply at Wei Huan and said, "After reaching Sequence Six, your aura has become more profound and unpredictable. It's still better to joke like this."
"I am still the same person, and I will never change."
"Yeah, I know, so I feel relieved seeing you like this."
