Chapter 54

Woo! Woo! Woo!

The howling wind sounded again, and a sudden barrage of artillery fire descended from the sky. The heavy rain, which had been pouring down, was pushed back by the thunderous artillery fire. The red mutant parrot screamed repeatedly, realizing it was too late to run. The sudden artillery fire filled it with despair, "Great King, save me!"

There was no response, as if time had frozen. The red mutant parrot could clearly see the artillery shells piercing through the rain, creating ripples that were crystal clear and mesmerizing.

As the explosion seemed inevitable, the artillery shells suddenly froze in mid-air. This sudden change made everyone gasp in shock and disbelief.

"What's happening?!"

"Have the missiles completely lost control?!"

In the base's combat command room, screams echoed as everyone was stunned and disbelieving of what they saw. On the computer screen, the lake surface, which had been too murky to see clearly, suddenly parted slowly. Li Mu's expression was blank, his eyes turned black, deep like the night sky. His body defied gravity and slowly rose from the lake, shocking everyone.

With one hand pressed in the air, the artillery shells that had fallen from the sky froze in the rain, moving with the movement of Li Mu's hand. This scene was not unfamiliar to anyone, making it even more terrifying. The room fell silent, everyone speechless.

"Long live the Great King! The Great King is mighty!"

The red mutant parrot screamed in joy, flying around Li Mu, its eyes gleaming as it circled him repeatedly, puzzled as to why Li Mu, who had no wings, could fly.

The red mutant parrot didn't understand, but Dr. Manhattan did. His pupils constricted, a flash of horror and fear crossing his face, "Incredible. He has actually evolved with special abilities, and they are the same as the X-type zombie's magnetic control. Could it be that facing the source of the direct death virus has granted him the ability to evolve infinitely?"

"This is not scientific!"

Dr. Manhattan whispered, his face pale. His words made everyone react, their faces changing, disbelief and a myriad of emotions surging, ultimately turning into deep fear.

"What is this?! What the hell is this?! Why can a zombie evolve endlessly? He's just a zombie, yet he evolves physically, mentally, and with special abilities, all three in one. If this continues, who can stop him, who can stop him!"

Someone roared in pain and near despair, voicing everyone's thoughts. Even the most confident people were on the verge of breaking. Li Mu's evolution had surpassed everyone's expectations. All the evolutionary paths of the zombies were now present in Li Mu.

This was enough to make anyone despair.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Li Mu's eyes had turned a deep black, and with a light grip of his hand, the artillery shells in the rain exploded, smoke and flames rising, powerful enough to destroy everything. But now, it seemed like a grand fireworks display, celebrating Li Mu's rebirth.

The red mutant parrot was extremely proud, perched on Li Mu's shoulder, preening and strutting, screaming, "Great King, it's time to show humans our power!"

Li Mu's expression was blank, his black eyes deep. Upon closer inspection, his muscles were still moving, causing him to stumble slightly when he landed on the ground.

The red mutant parrot敏锐地察觉到了李 Mu's condition, sensing the pain surging in his mind. It immediately realized that Li Mu's evolution was not yet complete and that he was enduring immense pain by being forcibly awakened.

But even so, Li Mu's steps were steady, his gaze calm. He walked with a composed and awe-inspiring presence, the rain seemingly afraid to approach him, bowing in submission.

"Bad!"

Suddenly, someone snapped out of the suffocating atmosphere created by Li Mu's steps and screamed, "Tank squadron, order them to retreat immediately! Number 4000 can control magnetism. If they don't retreat, it will be a disaster!"

This person's words immediately brought everyone back to their senses. Li Mu's current evolution, though terrifying, was still far away. But there was a unit still advancing at full speed towards Canberra, about to encounter Li Mu.

An entire tank squadron, a force that could sway the tide of a war, would now face a disaster no one wanted to see if it encountered Li Mu.

The tanks, capable of creating a steel flood, would be like toys in the hands of Li Mu, who controlled magnetism.

Realizing this, someone rushed to the computer to contact the tank squadron and order an immediate retreat.

"It's too late."

Dr. Manhattan said bitterly. On the computer screen, the tank squadron was already creating a steel flood as it charged into the flattened Canberra.

Li Mu's expression was blank, a flash of pain in his deep black eyes. A violent aura suddenly rose, making the red mutant parrot tremble. With a step, Li Mu moved like lightning, covering hundreds of meters, and with a backhand, the leading tank was sent flying.

Like a toy in Li Mu's hand, the tank made a grating sound, its three-centimeter-thick alloy armor unable to withstand Li Mu's destruction. The tank disintegrated instantly, its large cannon flying into Li Mu's hand.

Li Mu's expression was blank, his black eyes flashing with a cold light. With a stomp, his power erupted, and dozens of multi-ton tanks floated into the air. The turrets spun wildly, trying to fire in panic, but the cannon barrels twisted and knotted under Li Mu's mental control, the heavy firing sounds echoing inside the tanks.

Everyone instinctively closed their eyes, unable to bear the sight of the terrible tragedy.

Li Mu's expression was blank, his black eyes gradually turning blood red. He suddenly leaped, swinging the cannon like a baseball bat, smashing it into a floating tank.

The multi-ton tank was sent flying by Li Mu's swing.

Li Mu's figure was a blur, moving like lightning in the air. In just a few seconds, when he stopped, the floating tanks crashed to the ground, disintegrating. Li Mu's speed, strength, and indestructible bone blade had torn apart the dozens of tanks in those few seconds.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the tanks hit the ground, blood splattered, and the soldiers inside were cut to pieces, their blood gushing like fountains, centered around Li Mu.

Li Mu's expression was blank, his hands spread, standing still as the bright blood engulfed him.

"Despot!"

No one knew who said it first, but everyone instinctively took a step back, as if they could feel Li Mu's overwhelming brutality even through the screen.
