Phi-Fic Chapter 364 Media Acquisition
Chapter 364 Media Acquisition
Five Divine Guard test subjects were sent to the suburbs behind Lotus Mountain in City A, because 5 kilometer away from there was the group of corpses where No. 1 and No. 5 were located.
They carried a full set of monitoring equipment and waited expressionlessly for the death command to be heard.
Dr. Jin activated the command according to Ye Ze's instructions.
Their armbands simultaneously lit up with flashing yellow lights, and the divine guards pressed the buttons without hesitation.
The needle in the armband pierced the skin, and the zombie virus was like a drop of ink falling into the water, quickly destroying the person's immune system and cells, and then moving straight up to attack their brains.
"Ho-o-o-"
Complete mutation within 15 seconds.
The corpse-transformed guard maintained its pre-infection behavior for a few minutes, then rushed towards the zombie swarm without looking back.
"Sir, now we just need to wait for the corpse cores in their brains to mutate again and grow into nerves to obtain the key medium for evolution. It's so exciting!"
Dr. King's beard trembled slightly with excitement. He stared at the screen, as if he might witness a miracle in the next second.
Ye Ze crossed his arms and looked at the screen calmly.
These corpse soldiers rushed into the group of corpses and began to hunt crazily, eating like weasels into a chicken coop.
The scene of the fight was extremely bloody, with corrupt fluid splattering everywhere and severed heads and limbs falling to the ground.
However, at this moment, an accident happened.
8 huge mutant zombies came out from nowhere and fought fiercely with the corpse guards. Every move from both sides was deadly, and both wanted to get the delicious corpse core energy in the other's brain!
Ye Ze watched the zombie battle with great interest.
Those mutant zombies used all their skills, using corrosive smoke, flying sand and rocks, fireballs and golden shields, poisonous gas and water streams, and other superpowers to attack the corpse guards one after another.
They tried to gather together the corpse guards hiding everywhere and block the way of their prey by herding them like ducks.
Just when the mutant zombie thought he was going to succeed, the corpse-transformed guard escaped from the shrinking circle like a loach, using his superpowers to gain the upper hand and counterattack!
Suddenly, a strange light flashed in their eyes, as if they had a new consciousness.
At the same time, the data from the monitoring system began to fluctuate violently.
"Sir, the energy fluctuations of the corpse cores are violent! According to their current behavior patterns, it is not ruled out that they have begun to develop consciousness." Dr. Jin said in surprise.
"Have you detected the source of the medium?" Ye Ze said with a frown, his eyes fixed on the screen.
"Not yet, sir. But the fluctuations are so great that we should be able to lock on soon."
"The group doesn't have enough time, Dr. Jin, give them half of the No. 1 energy!" Ye Ze gave the order immediately.
Dr. Jin nodded quickly and started the operation quickly.
The No. 5 transmission tubes stored on the five arm rings released supernatural energy. The corpse guards were suddenly injected with supernatural energy, their strength increased greatly, and their eyes became more and more scarlet.
The original means of attack became more fierce, and the offensive instantly overwhelmed the mutant zombies.
The mutant zombies began to retreat step by step, and some were even seized by the corpse guards, who directly broke through their hard thick skin and dug out the corpse cores in their brains and devoured them.
At this moment, the monitoring system suddenly sounded an alarm, "Sir, the data fluctuation has reached a peak, but the source of the medium has not been detected!" Dr. Jin shouted anxiously.
Ye Ze's eyes were stern, "The corpse core has begun to grow nerves, Dr. Jin!"
Dr. Jin was so eager to find a medium that he didn't notice that the nerves in the corpse core were growing outwards.
"The medium has been found. It is external stimuli, environmental changes and competition that force them to evolve. This effect cannot be achieved in the laboratory."
"Clear out Energy No. 1, Dr. Jin, and see if there are any new discoveries."
Dr. Jin worked quickly and cleared the No. 1 energy.
The corpse-transformed guards' attacks became extremely fierce, their bodies suddenly became stronger, and strange lines appeared on the surface of their skin.
Their speed and strength increased again, their healing ability accelerated, and they beat the mutant zombies without any chance of fighting back.
The mutant zombies roared in despair, and their supernatural attacks became chaotic in an attempt to escape the battlefield, but how could the corpse guards let them go?
At this moment, the two largest mutant zombies roared, and the surrounding ground began to shake. Countless stones drilled out from the ground and turned into countless gravel bullets, shooting towards them.
Taking advantage of this gap, the two mutant zombies quickly drilled into the deep pit formed on the ground.
"Roar--"
There is no way the Corpse Guards would let their prey escape under their noses, especially with the assistance of energy.
They each released their special powers to seal the sinking pit and swung out their vine whips, which drilled into the pit like pythons, tightly wrapped around the bodies of the two mutant zombies, and pulled them out of the pit.
The mutant zombie struggled frantically, and the stones on his body fell off, but the whip kept tightening.
Just as the corpse-transformed guards were preparing to launch another attack, something strange happened.
A powerful energy wave suddenly burst out from the bodies of the two mutant zombies, and they struggled hard.
They roared towards the sky, corrosive liquid sprayed wildly, and their sharp claws and teeth tore at the vines. Their strength seemed to have increased to a new level.
Ye Ze's eyes became sharper, staring at the screen closely. "Under such a huge disparity in power, it is normal to run away. Once you find that you can't escape, you will fight to the death. This will stimulate a stronger potential than before and break through the bottleneck."
Dr. King exclaimed, “That’s secondary evolution!”
The mutant zombie that evolved for the second time was full of anger. After breaking free from the restraints, it attacked the corpse guards.
Their attacks became more fierce and each blow carried great force. For a moment, it was difficult to tell the winner between the two sides and the situation became more tense.
"My Lord, do you want to use Energy 2?"
Ye Ze calmly gave the order: "No, now is the exciting time."
At this time, the data from the monitoring system was jumping wildly, and Dr. Jin was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The fight between the mutant zombies and the corpse guards has become increasingly intense. The main roads and surrounding buildings have been severely damaged, with some buildings collapsing and large cracks everywhere.
The scene captured by the drone was even more thrilling, with flying dust and smoke.
The mutant zombies went crazy, and during the fight they did not forget to grab and eat their scattered fellow zombies, never missing any opportunity to replenish their energy.
The zombie guards then imitated the mutant zombies and started to cooperate with them.
Some of them are responsible for restraining the enemy, while others find the right moment to launch a fatal attack.
For a while, the mutant zombies were overwhelmed.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a zombie guard seized the opportunity, wrapped a mutant zombie's legs with a vine whip, and tripped it to the ground. The other zombie guards rushed forward and launched a fierce attack on it.
Although the mutant zombie fought hard, it was ultimately outnumbered and had its head torn open by the corpse guards, and the core in its brain was quickly dug out.
Seeing this, the other mutant zombie was also attracted by the corpse core of its own kind and immediately stirred up a small sandstorm in an attempt to stop the zombie guards and take the opportunity to steal the corpse core to increase its own strength.
The corpse-transformed guards naturally would not let it succeed, and quickly used their supernatural powers to form a barrier to block the sandstorm.
The corpse core that had just been dug out was as big as an adult's palm, and was covered with layer upon layer of mucus, but it could not block the faint light that occasionally shone from it. One of the divine guards exerted a little force, and the corpse core was easily crushed, and energy gushed out from the gap.
They greedily absorbed the energy of the corpse core, and the growth of the corpse core nerves in their brains became more and more obvious, and all of this was displayed on the monitoring equipment.
"Sir, it's a filamentous network! It's connected, connected! It's caused by this life-and-death competition and the extreme pressure of the environment!" Dr. Jin was ecstatic.
Ye Ze's mouth corners slightly raised, "Very good, the conclusion is reached!"
External stimulation + absorption of corpse cores with growth nerves will accelerate the evolution of the corpse guards!
When the mutant zombie saw that his moves were blocked, he angrily threw out a large amount of corrosive liquid, ready to fight to the death!
In order to get food, the addicted zombie soldiers learned to attack in groups, and finally they successfully devoured the mutant zombies' corpse cores.
The nerves in their brains are also gradually growing.
Dr. King was excitedly collecting data.
Ye Ze looked at all this and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
"Dr. Jin, we can start a new round of corpse core cultivation."
