In the blink of an eye, more than five million infected individuals were under Zhao Ganwu's control.
The speed at which enemies are assimilated has increased more than tenfold compared to before.
"Well done! That's an amazing skill, truly impressive!" Su Bai's eyes lit up, and he praised repeatedly.
Now, he can clearly perceive that there are more than six million infected organisms that can be manipulated.
suddenly.
With a bang.
Zhao Ganwu felt dizzy and his vision went black. He accidentally fell to the ground.
"What happened? Are you alright?" Su Bai rushed forward and helped Zhao Ganwu up.
Zhao Ganwu shook his head slightly, the purple light in his eyes had faded.
"Just now, I don't know what happened, I felt like my head was not getting enough oxygen, my vision went black, I lost my balance and fell down."
Abathur stepped forward and said, "This is a sign of excessive mental energy depletion."
"Does controlling the infection require mental energy?" Su Bai asked.
Abathur nodded. "If Zhao Ganwu's mental strength weren't extraordinary, controlling such a large-scale infection wouldn't have been so easy. Now, his mental strength is exhausted, and he can no longer use his abilities related to controlling the infection."
"How can my mental strength be restored?" Su Bai asked again.
“It will recover naturally with the passage of time,” Abathur replied.
After resting for a while, Zhao Ganwu had recovered his senses. "What would happen if we forced it?"
"If your mental strength is insufficient and you force it, at best you will feel dizzy and your nerves will be damaged; at worst you will be infected and suffer a backlash, lose your mind, become a walking corpse, or even explode and die." Abathur said slowly without expression.
"It's that serious?" Zhao Ganwu was slightly surprised.
"In the future, remember to use this ability only judiciously, taking into account your own circumstances," Su Bai instructed.
"I just want to help you win faster."
"Now that the victory is secured, it doesn't matter whether we're a little faster or slower," Su Bai smiled slightly.
He turned his head to look at the battlefield outside the territory and continued:
"We now have over six million infected individuals under our command. At the current rate of assimilation, we can bring all the attacking enemies under our control in just a few hours."
"Unfortunately, the infected can only survive for twelve hours. If they could live indefinitely, they would be invincible." Zhao Ganwu's expression carried a hint of regret.
Su Bai smiled and said, "Perhaps, as your level increases in the future, the survival time of the infected will be extended indefinitely."
Zhao Ganwu's mental energy was completely exhausted, making him unable to use the skills [Corpse Horde Lord] and [Acute Infection], nor could he directly control the infected in one go.
But now, the army of infected creatures, their pupils filled with dark purple light, has spread like wildfire, sweeping across the desolate wilderness.
Seeing the number of kills on the kill leaderboard rising rapidly, Su Bai couldn't help but feel great.
"It seems that all the infected that have been assimilated have been included in the kill count."
Previously, the swarm was locked in a fierce battle, and its territory was in crisis.
Now, millions of infected individuals have been turned to their own advantage, launching a powerful offensive outwards.
Every minute, every second, even every breath, enemies are assimilated, their red light turning into a dark purple glow.
The situation has reversed dramatically, creating a stark contrast that stirs the soul.
At this moment, Su Bai looked around and felt a myriad of emotions welling up in his heart.
Good causes lead to good results, and a kind heart cultivates good relationships.
If it weren't for that day's journey to the desolate desert, bringing back Zhao Ganwu's body, and resurrecting him...
It will likely be very difficult to get through the fifth round of disaster today.
Seeking assistance from the military region will be a foregone conclusion.
If all the lords within the military region are entangled in infected creatures and unable to spare troops for rescue, the final outcome would likely be extremely dangerous.
Even the territory could be breached.
Everything has a cause, and everything has an effect.
Su Bai couldn't bear it and felt that such a kind and righteous person shouldn't die in vain. In the end, he saved Zhao Ganwu and, in a way, saved his future self.
Those who harbor good intentions will surely be blessed.
This time, Su Bai proved it best.
With Zhao Ganwu's help, they were able to overcome the crisis without having to ask the military region for assistance.
Not only can they make it onto the kill leaderboard, but they might even enter the top ten.
The rewards will be very generous once the disaster is over.
Thinking of this, Su Bai became very interested and a smile appeared on his face.
The manipulated infected continue to advance outwards.
Surviving the fifth large-scale attack is a foregone conclusion—it's only a matter of time.
"The fighting outside will probably last a long time. While we wait, let's eat something to fill our stomachs."
Su Bai walked into the manor and took out a charcoal-roasted duck, a spicy roasted lamb leg, a packet of braised beef, and two steamed buns.
Zhao Ganwu subconsciously swallowed.
"It must be said that, in terms of the abundance of food alone, a lone wolf wandering the world cannot compare with a lord."
"Haha! Eat up!" Su Bai laughed loudly, "From now on, you'll be lucky to have a good meal while you're by my side."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Zhao Ganwu took the food, placed it on a large rock, and began to wolf it down.
Su Bai stood to one side, a satisfied expression on his face.
It seems that Zhao Ganwu has truly integrated into this place.
Today, we have gained another great general.
This will bring an unparalleled and tremendous boost to the overall strength of the territory.
In the future, Zhao Ganwu and the other heroes will each lead a portion of the insect swarm to wage war against foreign powers and wipe out local forces and enemy lords.
At that time, the speed of territorial expansion will certainly be greatly increased.
It was obvious that Zhao Ganwu was starving.
In no time at all, they devoured all the food in front of them.
"belch--"
Zhao Ganwu let out a burp, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, and said, "My eating manners seem a bit excessive."
“I understand.” Su Bai smiled slightly. “After all, you haven’t eaten a single meal in three or four days.”
“Yes, I died during that time.” Zhao Ganwu scratched his head. “It feels a bit strange to think about it like that.”
A hint of curiosity appeared in Su Bai's eyes, "After death, will there still be feelings?"
"I didn't feel anything, it was like closing my eyes and having a very long dream." Zhao Ganwu paused, then raised his voice slightly: "If it weren't for you, I would be trapped in the dream and never wake up."
Su Bai nodded slightly.
Therefore, the "soul" that Zhao Ganwu produced after his death was merely a mass of unconscious matter.
Only by reintegrating into his body can it work and awaken his consciousness and thoughts.
