Chapter 34

"Let me go and catch a zombie for an experiment," Zhang Dingtian said and immediately left.

After a while, Zhang Dingtian threw a zombie to the ground and casually tossed an energy crystal into the zombie's mouth.

A few people watched the zombie closely.

After a long while, the zombie showed no reaction.

Zhang Dingtian and Bai Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Yin said indifferently, "One zombie doesn't prove anything; catch some more and try again."

Zhang Dingtian nodded and ordered his men to capture more zombies.

Half an hour later, over fifty zombies were bound and brought in. Zhang Dingtian inserted more than fifty energy crystals into their mouths one by one.

Roar

Suddenly, one zombie growled, its face contorted in pain, its blood-red eyes fixed on Zhang Dingtian. The energy surged, tearing his skin apart, and with a loud bang, the entire body exploded.

Apart from this zombie, the others showed no change.

The dean looked at the scene in shock, "The energy crystals react to some zombies, proving that this evolutionary path is feasible."

Lu Yin looked at the scattered flesh on the ground, and suddenly, the image of Yin and the crimson vertical eye flashed in his mind. The thought of it still made his scalp tingle, and he dared not take it out.

"This matter must be kept strictly confidential; it cannot be known by certain people," Bai Xue said coldly, then looked at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin said indifferently, "It seems that planetary evolution is not as simple as we thought. Zombies are also part of the evolution. Could they also be qualified to participate in the trials?"

"Zombies lack intelligence," Bai Xue said.

Lu Yin laughed, "Lack intelligence? Not necessarily."

Zhang Dingtian immediately ordered everyone outside the city to return. He decided to use the remaining thermal weapons to bomb the zombies. The zombies could not turn back into humans, and now that they knew the zombies could evolve, they could not be left alone, especially since they could gain immense power by consuming supernatural energy crystals.

The dean agreed. The number of zombies was too large. Even if only one in ten thousand could successfully evolve, it would be terrifying. That kind of supernatural power was not something ordinary people could resist. Just look at Bai Xue; if it weren't for her ice talent, she might not have been a match for Paris. Because of her ice talent, she easily killed Paris and controlled Granie, which was the terrifying power of talent.

That night, a deafening explosion echoed outside the capital.

Lu Yin looked up and saw missiles raining down outside the city, sweeping the land.

Zombies were not scary; what was scary was their numbers. This was a consensus among everyone, and thermal weapons were the best way to deal with large numbers.

The bombing lasted only two minutes before it ended. Lu Yin was puzzled; the capital couldn't have only this much thermal weaponry left.

Just as Lu Yin decided to continue gazing at the stars, a figure flew toward his residence. Lu Yin looked and was surprised to see it was Bai Xue.

This woman, who always looked at him with disdain, what did she want at this late hour?

Lu Yin watched the beautiful figure approach under the moonlight. He didn't mind giving Liu Shaoge a green hat.

Bai Xue landed at Lu Yin's place and visibly relaxed when she saw him.

Lu Yin was puzzled, "Is there something?"

Granie walked out of the room and looked at Bai Xue strangely.

Bai Xue said indifferently, "Nothing, just passing by."

Lu Yin was speechless, "Are you sure?"

Bai Xue pondered, then said indifferently, "All the thermal weapon operators are dead, and all the thermal weapons are destroyed and cannot be used."

Lu Yin was startled, "Who did it?"

Bai Xue stared at Lu Yin but said nothing.

Lu Yin laughed, "So you rushed over to prove my alibi."

"I hope you didn't do it; otherwise, we won't let you off," Bai Xue said coldly.

Lu Yin was puzzled, "You seem very wary of me. Why?"

Bai Xue didn't answer and turned to leave.

"Wait, you came and want to leave so easily?" Lu Yin stepped lightly and appeared beside Bai Xue, reaching out to grab her hair. Bai Xue's eyes turned icy cold, and a freezing aura enveloped her, sweeping toward Lu Yin. Lu Yin's right palm vibrated, dispelling the cold aura, and continued to grab at Bai Xue.

Suddenly, a layer of ice appeared in front of Bai Xue, reflecting the moonlight.

Lu Yin's palm struck the ice, shattering it, and at that moment, Bai Xue retreated several meters away, watching him warily.

Lu Yin shrugged, "Just a joke."

"Not funny," Bai Xue said coldly.

"You barged into my home at night and threatened me; that's not funny either," Lu Yin said coldly.

Bai Xue's eyes flickered, "Sorry," she said and flew away, leaving behind a faint fragrance.

Lu Yin looked up at the sky, wondering who had destroyed the thermal weapons. Did they not want the zombie tide to be bombed?

Granie watched Bai Xue's departing figure in amazement and said, "Every time I see her, I am amazed. This woman is truly worthy of being described as the Goddess of Luo River by Zhou Shan. In terms of appearance, she can rival the Star Plucker."

"Star Plucker?" Lu Yin was puzzled.

Granie looked up at the stars and said dreamily, "The Star Plucker is one of the most beautiful women in the universe. It is said that she can walk among the stars and often appears in the trial lands to find her destined one. There are also legends that she can predict the future and see the past. She is the dream of countless people in the universe."

Lu Yin was speechless, "You're a woman, and she's your dream too?"

Granie rolled her eyes at Lu Yin, "She is my idol. I heard she comes from a supreme and mysterious sect in the Inner Universe. Any disciple from that sect can sweep through the young generation of the Great Universe Empire, and the Star Plucker has even made it to the Star War List." She paused, pouted, and said, "You wouldn't understand, forget it, let's sleep."

Lu Yin didn't pay much attention to Granie's words. The universe was vast, and even small matters could be exaggerated. Predicting the future and seeing the past, there was no such person. Thinking about it, Lu Yin looked up at the night sky, and two stars revolved in his right palm, with a third star faintly appearing.

The thermal weapon bombing of the zombie tide temporarily stopped. Lu Yin didn't know how Zhang Dingtian and the others handled it, and he didn't care. He checked his personal terminal; the second batch of trial participants would arrive in about forty days, which was soon.

The ten thousand Hua Camp evolutionists left the city in batches. Under Zhang Dingtian's orders, they didn't need to face mutated beasts; their only task was to kill zombies.

This task was not difficult. For evolutionists, zombies were much easier to kill than mutated beasts.

On the steel city walls, Zhang Dingtian and Bai Xue stood.

"Even if we clear all the zombies around the capital, it's just a drop in the ocean," Bai Xue said helplessly, watching the Hua Camp army march out.

Zhang Dingtian said solemnly, "It's better than doing nothing. I've already sent people to Jinling, Hubei, and other places to inform them of the situation and order them to eliminate the zombies to prevent any uncontrollable factors."

Mentioning Hubei, Bai Xue's eyes flickered, "Is he okay?"

Zhang Dingtian looked at Bai Xue and said indifferently, "I don't know."

Bai Xue fell silent.

The cleanup of the zombies went relatively smoothly. The ten thousand Hua Camp evolutionists could kill nearly two million zombies each day. In just a few days, the area outside the capital was much emptier, with countless zombies slaughtered and burned, and thick smoke filled the air, emitting a pungent smell.

On the west side of the capital, at the thermal weapon launch site, Zhang Dingtian came here again. He had been investigating the murderer for several days but found nothing. The murderer's killing technique was clean and swift, with over five hundred people in the launch camp dying in less than a minute, and the killing speed was extremely fast.

"Do you think it could be that Lu Yin?" Bai Xue asked from a distance.

"Didn't you already confirm it wasn't him?" Zhang Dingtian said solemnly, scanning the ground.

Bai Xue pursed her lips, "We should contact Jinling as soon as possible. This Lu Yin is mysterious, and I always feel he is an alien student."

Zhang Dingtian looked at Bai Xue, "So what if he is? In this world, we can distinguish between friend and foe, but we don't need to distinguish by race. Earth no longer has the right to do so."

Bai Xue's eyes dimmed, and she said nothing.

Zhang Dingtian turned to go inside. As he opened the door, a white light flashed and shot toward his neck. Zhang Dingtian's eyes narrowed, and at the last moment, he turned to avoid it. Despite this, a bloody cut appeared on his neck.

Under the white light, the silver-haired man's lips curled into a sinister smile. The butterfly knife stabbed at Zhang Dingtian again. Zhang Dingtian drew his long sword and blocked it in front of him. The butterfly knife dodged the long sword with a strange arc, approaching Zhang Dingtian's eyes. This strike aimed to blind Zhang Dingtian.

Seeing the butterfly knife approaching, Zhang Dingtian did not close his eyes but moved forward, his body's energy exploding, delaying the butterfly knife for a moment. The long sword slashed horizontally, creating a visible blade of air that split the camp and even the earth.
