Chapter 6

"Here are the latest experimental data. With the addition of Dr. Luoshui, we have a more detailed and accurate argument about the evolution of zombies. I will let Dr. Luoshui explain it in detail."

In the Chengping laboratory, everyone looked at Luoshui, who had cut her hair and appeared neat and efficient. She nodded, her expression serious and somewhat cold, and stood up.

"Based on the current experimental conclusions and the data shared by the Northeast Base, North America, Russia, and other regions, there are three types of evolved zombies."

The projection changed to show an extremely strong zombie with a fierce face, its muscles knotted like tree roots. No further explanation was needed; just one look was enough to know that this zombie must possess superhuman strength.

"Physical Enhancement Type. Code name M, with superhuman strength and speed."

"This is an M2 type zombie captured in North America last week. The experimental data has been shared with us. Compared to our specimen number 36, this M2 type zombie has doubled in strength and speed. In other words, its maximum strength exceeds six tons, and it can run 100 meters in less than two seconds."

Dr. Luoshui's words made the face of the major in the Chengping base turn grim. He knew very well what this data meant: this M2 zombie could lift a tank with its bare hands, and the tank couldn't even hit it!

Dr. Luoshui paid no attention to the major's expression and continued to swipe the screen. The projection changed, and another zombie appeared, not particularly strong, but with a distorted face and completely transformed hands that were hollow, with bones and flesh intertwined.

"Abnormal Ability Type. Code name X, with mutated mitochondria that can control various incredible powers, such as lightning."

As soon as she finished speaking, blue lightning suddenly shot out from the zombie's hands, the arcing electricity causing everyone to frown.

"This is data from Russia a month ago. It is estimated to be only an X1. If it were an X2, the voltage would exceed 100,000 volts."

Dr. Luoshui's calm voice was like salt in the wound for everyone.

The major, feeling increasingly agitated, undid the first button of his collar and looked at Dr. Luoshui, his voice dry, "Are there any more bad news? Say it all at once."

Dr. Luoshui nodded and swiped her finger. A projection of a thin, underdeveloped, but clearly larger-headed and ugly zombie appeared.

"Mental Control Type. With brainwave intensity over thirty times that of a normal person, it is the king of zombies, capable of controlling other zombies. Code name... King!"

...

A faint blue light flickered in a small room. Li Mu stood motionless, his gray eyes quietly watching the woman in the projection. Even his pale, almost cold eyes seemed to soften at this moment.

Swish, swish, swish!

Suddenly, a sound like the wind blowing through the curtains came from the balcony. Li Mu's gray eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and his left hand, as pale as ash, gripped the pendant like lightning. The blue light disappeared instantly, and Li Mu leaped out, his right hand flashing with a gray bone knife, instantly shattering the balcony door.

The sharp bone knife split the entire door in half, a drop of blood fell, and a sharp scream echoed. Li Mu burst through the balcony door, his right hand bone knife firmly planted on the balcony railing.

On the bone, a Licker was struggling fiercely, its sharp mouthparts like steel bars lunging at Li Mu with lightning speed. Li Mu, expressionless, his gray eyes flashing with madness, lifted his right hand and severed the mouthparts, then stepped down and crushed the Licker's head.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and Li Mu's gray eyes were cold and ruthless. He turned his head coldly, and another Licker shrank in fear, clinging to the wall, not daring to move.

Li Mu leaped like the wind, his feet stepping on the wall, and with powerful control, he ran horizontally on the building's wall for several meters, rushing towards the last Licker.

The Licker let out a sharp scream and turned to run, moving extremely fast, even able to crawl on the building's outer wall like a gecko.

Li Mu's gray eyes turned bloodshot, and he leaped from the wall like a bat, rushing towards the last Licker.

Buzz!

A sharp sound broke the air as a fire axe sliced through the void, carrying terrifying force and creating a sonic boom, thrown from the top of the building with incomparable power.

This was too fast and sudden. Li Mu, in mid-air, could not avoid the fire axe and instinctively held his right hand bone knife in front of his chest.

Boom!

Li Mu was hit by the fire axe and instantly moved horizontally for dozens of meters, crashing through half of the balcony and falling from the sky like a broken kite.

Boom!

Another loud sound echoed in the silent city. The sports car Li Mu landed on was crushed, and his right hand bone knife, which could cut through anything, was broken in half. His chest was completely caved in, and dark blood gushed from his mouth.

The Licker moved with lightning speed, leaping from the building's outer wall, almost following the wind of Li Mu's fall. Its head split open, and its mouthparts, capable of piercing metal, shot out towards Li Mu's head.

Li Mu's gray eyes moved, and his left hand, holding the broken bone knife, blocked the Licker's mouthparts with a clang. His eyes were completely bloodshot, filled with madness, and he punched the Licker with his left hand, shattering it.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and Li Mu's chest was caved in, making it difficult for him to stand up. Even as a zombie, controlled by the Dead Virus and losing all sense of pain, with his entire chest bones shattered, Li Mu was clearly severely injured.

Scream!

A sharp sound echoed, and a group of zombies suddenly emerged from the quiet street. These zombies, who were once no match for Li Mu's bone knife and would retreat at the sight of him, had lost their instinctive fear and rushed towards him.

Li Mu's gray eyes turned bloodshot, and although his right hand bone knife was broken, he still swung it like the wind, killing several zombies that climbed onto the sports car.

Thud, thud, thud!

A terrifying stomping sound approached, and a five-meter-tall zombie walked step by step from the end of the street, holding a fire axe that was extremely heavy for a normal person but light as a feather in its hands.

Li Mu instinctively felt a terrifying pressure. The fire axe that had just hit him must have been thrown by this zombie.

Such terrifying power made Li Mu involuntarily touch his shattered chest, and his gray eyes turned even more bloodshot, filled with madness.

"Damn it. Boss, look, what kind of zombie is that?"

A helicopter flew over the building, and someone suddenly shouted. Through the night vision binoculars, the five-meter-tall zombie was clearly visible, standing out even in the darkness, its imposing and intimidating figure immediately catching the eye of those in the helicopter.

"Damn it, how can there be such a big zombie? Did you take a picture?" Raul took the night vision binoculars and, seeing the huge zombie, couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.

Even as a member of the tactical team from the Australian Forward Base, who had searched many towns for survivors and seen many strange zombies that base survivors couldn't even imagine, Raul could swear that this was the largest zombie he had ever seen.

A five-meter-tall body was too imposing. If it weren't a zombie, someone might have mistaken it for a mythological Titan.

"It's been taken. Damn it, are those scientists right? Are these zombies really evolving?" Someone couldn't help but exclaim in shock. No matter how much they talked, it was nothing compared to seeing it with their own eyes.

Seeing this five-meter-tall zombie, who would still call these zombies mindless insects? They would all be idiots!

"Good, take a picture. Charlie, send the photo to the base, and also to Dr. Kahn." Raul nodded and patted the young man beside him, who was somewhat nervous.

"Got it, boss." This young man was none other than Charlie, who had been captured by Li Mu. After escaping from Li Mu's clutches, he had gone through many life-and-death situations and finally met Raul's tactical team. Because of his talent in computers, he had become a member of Raul's team and was on his first mission with them today.

"Alright, it's not our concern. Let's go to the place Kahn mentioned, find the equipment, and bring Kahn back to the base. We've been out for a month, and it's time to go back and rest."

Raul clapped his hands, trying to ease everyone's tension.

"Boss, the base sent a message, hoping we can take more pictures. Also, Dr. Kahn has a message, uh, he wants us to try to capture that zombie..."

Charlie's voice gradually faded, clearly because Kahn, the madman, was up to no good again.

"Kahn, that madman." Someone couldn't help but curse. Scientists are all madmen, and this was indeed true. Dr. Kahn was a famous expert in neurology in Australia, so the base had spared no effort to send them to find Kahn and bring him back.

But Kahn, the madman, refused to leave and insisted on completing his research. Not only that, he treated Raul's tactical team like his subordinates, which was truly infuriating.

"Never mind Kahn, the madman. As for the base..."

Raul was about to say they would take a few more pictures to placate the base when he heard a scream.

"Damn it, that's a King! Shit!"

Raul's heart tightened, and he quickly grabbed the night vision binoculars. He clearly saw a small, withered zombie sitting on the shoulder of the five-meter-tall zombie. It seemed to sense their gaze and suddenly lifted its gray eyes, letting out a cackling sound that shattered the glass of the surrounding buildings. Even from a distance, the sharp sound made everyone's heads ring and want to vomit blood.

PS: Monday, please recommend and collect. Don't be stingy. This is a very exciting and thrilling story!
