Chapter 47

Li Mu stood expressionless, his bone knife slicing through the air with a clang, clashing with the six-meter-tall giant zombie. The powerful force sent Li Mu flying, but his silver eyes flashed, and he forcibly controlled the giant zombie's hand that was about to strike. The black bone spines on his back coiled around the giant zombie's arm.

Flying backward, Li Mu's right hand, holding the bone knife, hesitated not a moment and chopped off the giant zombie's head. The black bone spines on his back lashed out, piercing through the giant zombie's chest.

Blood splattered!

This scene was so brutal. Li Mu, standing at about 1.9 meters tall, had an expressionless face with cold, silver eyes. He sliced off the head of the six-meter-tall giant zombie and the black bone spines, like a giant scorpion's tail, pierced through the giant zombie's chest.

A powerful force erupted, lifting the six-meter-tall giant zombie. Blood dripped, and a series of blood-red streaks surged on Li Mu's black bone spines. The giant zombie withered and turned into a mummy.

This terrifying scene made the red mutant parrot shiver involuntarily, screaming, "Your Majesty, you are too brutal! But I like it! Ha ha, the ugly guy on the other side, use all your tricks! Your Majesty, you'll show him why the flowers are so red!"

Screech!

A sharp roar echoed, and the King became furious, his eyes filled with blood-red light, savage and fierce, staring at Li Mu. Seeing the six-meter-tall giant zombie that Li Mu had killed and devoured, the King roared again, and the X-type zombie immediately flew up, carrying the King quickly toward the center of Canberra.

"Your Majesty, that bastard is trying to escape!"

The red mutant parrot shouted.

Li Mu's face remained expressionless, his silver eyes flashing a hint of pain. His muscles twitched abnormally, a result of the gene mutation and optimization after devouring the six-meter-tall giant zombie.

This made Li Mu's body grow another five centimeters, his strength even greater, and his speed faster. The evolution of zombies was too rapid, and the people in the forward base almost watched helplessly as Li Mu, after devouring the suspected M4 giant zombie, showed signs of further evolution.

Such a rapid evolution speed was almost overwhelming.

Suppressing the excruciating pain from the gene chain breaking and recombining, Li Mu didn't have time to adapt to his body's changes. He leaped forward without hesitation, moving like lightning, chasing after the fleeing X-type zombie and the King.

This war would only truly end when the King was killed.

Li Mu moved swiftly, and all the zombies in Canberra, controlled by the other King's疯狂的精神掌控, became frenzied. But these zombies were no obstacle to Li Mu. Even if he faced an entire army, Li Mu, alone, moved as if he were in a no-man's land, his eyes fixed on the flying X-type zombie, more precisely, on the King on its shoulder, chasing relentlessly.

Li Mu wouldn't stop until the King was dead. The red mutant parrot sensed Li Mu's determined killing intent, feeling both excited and nervous. His eyes darted, carefully sensing any mental fluctuations around him, ready to warn Li Mu of any abnormalities.

...

"Number 4000 is too brutal."

In the forward base, someone couldn't help but swallow hard, speaking with difficulty.

As a King, Li Mu's terrifying display shocked everyone in the base. The other King, despite having an absolute advantage, controlling all the zombies in Canberra, and with the help of the suspected M4 and the unimaginable X-type zombie, could only be chased and forced to flee by Li Mu.

This made everyone feel a chill, and they couldn't help but look at Hawk Eye. They were lucky to be alive after continuously provoking Number 4000, thanks to God's protection.

Hawk Eye's face was grim, almost despairing. Compared to others, he could keenly sense Li Mu's changes, knowing that after devouring the giant zombie, Li Mu's strength had certainly changed, becoming faster and stronger.

Such evolution almost happened right before his eyes, and he was powerless to stop it. Even if he didn't fully understand Luo Shui's report on the zombie evolution wave, he knew that if this continued, it might not be long before no human weapon could harm Li Mu.

Because the speed of zombie evolution far exceeded human technological progress.

Dr. Manhattan clearly realized this, so his face was extremely serious, and he no longer had any thoughts of capturing Li Mu. He knew that an existence like Li Mu must die.

With the ability to control zombies like a King and the incredible physical evolution like an M-type zombie, Li Mu had become the undisputed king of zombies.

Even other Kings couldn't face Li Mu head-on. This fact chilled Dr. Manhattan, knowing that Li Mu might already be unstoppable among zombies. If they couldn't eliminate Li Mu before he fully matured, the future Li Mu would be a nightmare for all of humanity.

"How long until our army can move?"

Dr. Manhattan spoke slowly, his voice hoarse. Even with all the information from Luo Shui, he couldn't calm down after witnessing the battle between Li Mu and the other King.

The zombie he once considered a test subject and prey had grown to a point that even he felt a chill.

"Another hour and thirty minutes..."

Someone immediately reported.

Dr. Manhattan nodded and looked at General Soros, "General, I leave this war to you."

General Soros nodded and stepped forward, "Doctor, I know what to do. The war is mine, the research is yours. Since we have obtained a lot of information from Luo Shui, you should act immediately. If we can't kill Number 4000 this time, we can only hope your research succeeds."

Dr. Manhattan nodded, "Rest assured, I know what to do. Colonel Hoover is ready. Perhaps, it's time for someone to make a sacrifice."

Dr. Manhattan lowered his head, his gaze fixed on the words "evolution serum." Before Luo Shui gave him the complete defense plan of the Chengping base, this unstable, side-effect-ridden evolution serum was his only hope.

"The Air Force squadron is ready, ready to depart at any time!"

"The tank squadron is ready, ready to depart at any time!"

"The frigate is ready, adjusting combat coordinates..."

Orders were issued in the forward base in an orderly manner.

General Soros's face was grim, with two screens in front of him: one showing the battle in Canberra from a drone, and the other showing the readiness of the various units in the base.

Once everything was ready, General Soros waved his hand sharply, "Transmit my order, the war has begun!"
