Chapter 18

The red mutant parrot swore it had no idea such a thing would happen. It just had a heart yearning for freedom, which was why it secretly ran up to the second floor, planning to escape from Li Mu's hands.

But damn it, there was actually a monster on the second floor, a monster that devoured people without leaving bones. Even worse, the monster even wanted to eat such a cute bird. Otherwise, it wouldn't have come back to seek Li Mu's help.

But things shouldn't have developed this way.

Bang!

Facing the suddenly brutal Li Mu, the red mutant parrot, which was the first to bear the brunt, was once again slapped away.

"Why? Why am I always the one who gets hurt!"

The red mutant parrot wailed, being hit by Li Mu's black bone spurs, lying on the ground, unable to get up, and crying out its sorrow with its head on the ground.

"Your Majesty, do you still talk about reason... This life, it can't go on!"

Li Mu's cold gaze glanced at the red mutant parrot, which immediately covered its mouth with its wings, no longer daring to complain, and pointed at the supermarket stairs with its wings, "Your Majesty, there really is a monster."

Li Mu's eyes turned blood-red. Although the dark supermarket was covered in a layer of blood in his eyes, it was still very clear. He could see a strange zombie jump onto the ceiling, crawling towards him.

That zombie indeed looked like a monster, completely abandoning its human form and growing eight legs, like a spider, hanging steadily on the ceiling, moving extremely fast. With a hiss, a white thread suddenly spewed from the zombie's mouth, as fast as light.

Li Mu's feet touched the ground, and he disappeared from his original position, leaving a faint afterimage. The white thread instantly pierced through Li Mu's afterimage, continuing its momentum, directly piercing through several rows of shelves. With a loud boom, several rows of stainless steel shelves were cut in half and fell to the ground under the pull of the white thread from the zombie's mouth.

So terrifying, the white thread from the zombie's mouth was like a laser, sharp, fast, and impossible to guard against.

Missing its target, the zombie's blood-red pupils flickered, seemingly wary of Li Mu. It slowly crouched on the ceiling, emitting a sharp roar.

Li Mu's face was expressionless, his gray eyes completely filled with blood, his crimson eyes flickering with brutality. His feet suddenly touched the ground, moving as fast as lightning, and he swung his bone knife, cutting through the air with a sharp sound, leaping up to attack the zombie.

The zombie let out a screech, its eight spider-like legs running quickly, and a white thread spewed from its mouth again.

With a hiss!

Li Mu's bone knife blocked the white thread, which instantly pierced through the bone knife in his right hand. Although its momentum was exhausted, the white thread, like a spider's silk, wrapped around Li Mu's bone knife, its terrifying corrosiveness making the white thread seem like it was coated in sulfuric acid, seeping into the bone knife in Li Mu's right hand.

The zombie's head suddenly swung, and the terrifying force sent Li Mu flying.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The supermarket shelves were knocked down by Li Mu, shattering into pieces. Finally, Li Mu fell heavily on the wall, and terrifying cracks instantly spread across the wall.

"Finished, finished, finished. Your Majesty will also be eaten by the monster. I'd better escape quickly!"

Seeing Li Mu being hit by the zombie, the red mutant parrot immediately got up from the ground, no longer pretending to be dead, flapping its wings, and trying to run away.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry. I'll miss you, and that stupid zombie, oh, goodbye."

The red mutant parrot sighed, flapping its wings to run out of the supermarket, but a white thread whistled past its wings, cutting off a few feathers, making the red mutant parrot immediately fall to the ground, covering its head, its butt in the air, flapping its wings on the ground, and helplessly shaking a huge butterfly tail.

Seeing this, Colonel Hoover, who was watching the supermarket through the camera, couldn't help but laugh and cry, taking a few puffs of his cigar, the smoke obscuring the shock in his eyes, and said with a joking tone, "Today is really eye-opening. Mutant zombies, talking birds, this damn apocalypse is really playing tricks on us."

"Alright. Let's see how the evolved No. 4000 will perform. Also, does the database have any suitable matches for that mutant zombie?"

Colonel Hoover extinguished his cigar and asked.

"Trying to match..."

Hawk Eye quickly typed on the keyboard, "Found it. Mutant M2 zombie, spider gene dominant evolution. Three days ago, the North American database shared, but the attempt to capture it failed. There is no available data model to share."

"Hmph, damn Americans. They definitely have accurate data models, but they just haven't shared them." Colonel Hoover coldly snorted.

Even in the apocalypse, the major surviving bases around the world seemed to cooperate sincerely, but the truly good things were still kept hidden, just like before the apocalypse.

"These damn politicians, don't they know that only the most accurate data sharing can give us the upper hand in the first place?"

After complaining, Colonel Hoover didn't say anything more. He knew that not only the North American side, but even their own base, had hidden many data, at least the data of No. 4000 had not been shared with other bases.

This is the apocalypse, and a good opportunity for the major powers around the world to reshuffle. If the Chinese Luo's prediction was not wrong, thinking of this, Colonel Hoover took a deep breath, "Hawk Eye, start building the combat model."

Hawk Eye nodded and quickly typed on the keyboard. Soon, a combat model of Li Mu and the mutant M2 zombie appeared on the other computer. Any performance in the surveillance footage would be converted into data and filled into the combat model of the two zombies after being calculated by the computer.

As long as human civilization is not cut off and science is not destroyed, even if 90% of the world's population has turned into zombies, humans can still become the masters of the planet.

In the surveillance footage, the Li Mu who had been hit by the mutant M2 suddenly moved.

Li Mu's left hand grabbed a row of shelves, which immediately flew up and crashed towards the mutant M2. At the same time, Li Mu's feet touched the ground, and he rushed towards the mutant M2, following the shelves.

"Damn. No. 4000's real-time data has already exceeded 100 meters per second, with a maximum strength breaking 10 tons. Otherwise, he couldn't have given the shelves an initial speed of 70 meters per second!"

Hawk Eye screamed, knowing very well what this meant. If Li Mu had thrown something like a baseball instead of the shelves, the baseball in Li Mu's hand would be as terrifying as a bullet.

Colonel Hoover didn't speak, his pupils constricting, staring intently at the computer screen.

Facing Li Mu's sudden attack, the mutant M2 let out a screech, and a white thread suddenly spewed from its mouth, as fast as light, instantly tearing apart the shelves. The shelves instantly split, and Li Mu's body stretched out, his toes touching the broken shelves. With the sound of the shelves crashing to the ground, Li Mu had already pounced in front of the mutant M2 zombie.

With a swing of his right bone knife, although the mutant M2 dodged in the first moment, it was still cut off one leg by Li Mu, green blood and a corrosive smell instantly rising.

The mutant M2 let out a screech, jumping down from the ceiling, and while in the air, it spewed another white thread from its mouth. Li Mu reached out to block it, and the white thread pierced through the bone knife in his right hand.

Everything happened in a flash. Li Mu cut off one leg of the mutant M2, and the mutant M2 successfully repelled Li Mu with the white thread.

Li Mu's face was expressionless, the blood in his gray eyes even more intense, and the bone knife in his right hand was now corroded and looked fragile.

But Colonel Hoover knew that even if the bone knife looked decayed, it could still easily cut through steel. In the world of zombies, the human body could no longer be recognized by the standards of the past.

Whether it was the blood flowing in the mutant M2, which was like sulfuric acid, or the bone knife in Li Mu's hand, which was stronger and harder than many alloys, these were incredible gifts from the creator.

However, these gifts were now given to these damn zombies, not to humans.

Thinking of this, Colonel Hoover took a deep breath, hoping that the research on human evolution in various bases would yield results faster. After all, the evolution of zombies was becoming more and more terrifying.

"Incredible. The white thread spewed from the mouth of the mutant M2, after calculation, had an initial speed of 1034 meters per second. This data has already exceeded the initial speed of the bullet from a Magnum sniper rifle. The mutant M2 spewed out is not spider silk, but a sniper rifle..."

Hawk Eye was drenched in sweat, the rapidly filling combat model data making him shudder.

No further explanation was needed. Such a zombie was no longer a zombie but a fully armed warrior. For ordinary survivors, it was almost impossible to resist.

A zombie that could spew out something as powerful as a sniper rifle, how could ordinary people possibly resist?

Unless humans could also start evolving rapidly, but Colonel Hoover knew this was impossible. Their survival meant they could not evolve as fast as zombies, like a chain reaction or nuclear fission.

The creator was fair, stripping the zombies of their souls and intelligence but giving them an incredible evolution speed. This, whether for the surviving humans or the animals gradually showing signs of mutation, was impossible to match.

And this was just the beginning. Thinking of the Chinese Luo's prediction, Colonel Hoover frowned, knowing that the hardest times were yet to come.

Or rather, the most difficult apocalypse had just begun.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

While Colonel Hoover was thinking, Li Mu and the mutant M2 had already broken through the supermarket's cement wall and fought onto the street.
