Volume 7: The Truth of the World Chapter 10: Inference about the Ancient Fifth-Order Supernatural Being
The zombies below the million level are easy to deal with. After all, they cannot form a zombie fusion , their attack power is limited, and their countermeasures against the air are limited. Basically, they are a group of living targets. But the situation is different for the zombies above one million. The zombies at the level of 100~3 million are the most numerous, and 80% are in this range. These are the highlights of this battle of Tianluodiwang. You can't use force to deal with them.
The Sky Net is not like the extraordinary soldiers of Home No. 1, who can form a stronger fusion skill. The instantaneous attack power can cut through the defense of the zombie fusion body. Once the zombie tide forms a fusion body, it is necessary to avoid its edge, otherwise it is easy to suffer combat casualties.
So... the battle plan issued by the headquarters is: if the enemy stays, we advance; if the enemy integrates, we retreat; if the enemy is tired, we attack.
Relying on high mobility and excellent endurance, they sneak around the zombies like dogs. They fire two rounds of artillery fire at the zombies first, and once the zombies start to combine and fuse, they immediately retreat, not giving them a chance to perform. It takes time for the zombies to combine and fuse, and this opportunity is enough for the soldiers of the Sky Net to retreat safely. However, the zombies cannot always maintain the fusion state, as that would consume a lot of energy, especially at night, when they no longer have the intake of solar energy, the activity of the zombie virus is reduced, and their energy cannot be restored. They cannot sustain the fusion state for too long, and they cannot catch up with the flexible Sky Net soldiers, who fly very fast with their [Electric Jet Packs]!
Just grind!
After exhausting the zombie tide, depleting their energy, and making them lose the ability to combine and fuse their bodies, the final battle begins!
Although this process will last for several days, there is plenty of time to set up a dragnet. After this battle is won, the number of zombies in the entire China will be reduced by 90%!
Chu Xu wants to accomplish his goal in one go!
Various accidents are sure to happen along the way, and the zombies are not lambs to be slaughtered. The Z zombies among them also have a certain degree of intelligence, and may come up with some ways to deal with the siege of the dragnet, causing them a lot of trouble. Even high-intensity combat will put their own extraordinary people in danger, but!
It's all worth it!
This battle will last for a long time. Chu Xu estimated that it would take a full month to end the battle.
Of course... the premise is that the zombies have no new countermeasures and just sit there and wait to die.
…
A week later, good news came in frequently. A total of more than 100 million zombies were eliminated across the country. It is currently estimated that the remaining zombies are less than 400 million. The Chinese zombies are facing the biggest crisis since their arrival!
High-tech weapons, craftsman spirit equipment, cultivation formations, energy equipment, all favorable conditions are on the side of Tianluodiwang!
"This time...are you going to die?"
The dragnet has entered a high-intensity working state, constantly solving various problems for all parts of the country. Chu Xu and a group of people stood facing the wall in the command room, watching the moving green dots and the disappearing large red areas on the screen. "Hu Shou is right. The upper limit of zombies is level three. They have no intelligence and should not be able to break through this threshold. With such a large number of zombies in the country, even if we are lucky, we can bump into a level four zombie. If we still haven't encountered one yet... it means that our inference is basically correct!"
Liu Shicai said, "We have recently deciphered some ancient documents and found that in the human records of the alien races, it was also described that humans are more likely to break through the fourth-order extraordinary realm and become individuals who transcend some rules, while the alien races find it difficult to cross this hurdle due to their talent problems. Although most of their individuals before the third order are stronger than humans, their high-end combat power cannot beat humans. Occasionally, there are alien races that enter the fourth order, but in terms of total number, they are still no match for humans, so they were ruled by humans in that era..."
“Aliens are just not as talented as humans, but they can also be promoted to the fourth-level extraordinary because they also have wisdom. However, the wisdom of zombies... hehe, it is just a virus after all. Even if it evolves and mutates many times, it cannot compare to the wisdom of humans!”
Now, the atmosphere in the headquarters of Tianluodiwang is very good. Everyone's mood is gradually improving as the number of zombies killed increases. They are no longer depressed and nervous as before, because the hope of victory is right in front of them.
Wallfacer No. 3 suddenly asked, "What do you think...after the zombies are wiped out, will the rules that originally belonged to our world be restored?"
The other wallfacers were attracted by this topic. No matter how fierce the battle was or how many victories were won, it was actually the business of the combat department. They cared more about their own areas of expertise, inventing and creating, and understanding the truth of the world.
The 12 wallfacers were originally established to research a method to restore the use of thermal weapons. Later, after countless experiments, they could not find any way to restore thermal weapons, so they transformed and studied different categories. Only wallfacers No. 2 and No. 3 are still continuing to study the problems of world rules. Through tests, they concluded that the world today is not under the effect of external quantum observation, and the world rules and zombies will not change again because of what humans realize. Schrödinger's cat can see whether it is dead or alive. Only then did they dare to let all the wallfacers come out step by step, bringing their own inventions that changed the world one by one, and the exploration of ancient ruins has entered an accelerated stage, constantly interpreting the essence of the world from the few words left over from ancient times.
Although there is no unified conclusion at present, a lot of evidence points to an internal struggle among ancient humans. That struggle affected all ancient humans. Since then, ancient humans and alien races have disappeared, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth has also disappeared, and the earth has returned to the era of eating raw meat and drinking blood. It took the new generation of humans hundreds of thousands of years of evolution to restore civilization. The current new era of human civilization has only experienced a recorded history of more than 5,000 years.
Back to the question of Wallfacer No. 3, will the rules of the world return to their previous state?
Wallfacer No. 2 pondered for a moment and said, "From the data we can observe now, there is no direct connection between the zombie virus and the overlay of world rules. The only thing they have in common is that they landed on the earth at the same time, without distinction, without blind spots, and with full coverage. It looks like a conspiracy against us humans. There must be creatures behind this, and it is likely related to ancient humans. I even suspect that they are still alive, hiding somewhere we can't find, watching us!"
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked!
No. 10 glanced at the air around him and uttered two words: "Be careful with your words!"
No. 3 raised his hand: "Don't worry, since observation can't affect our world, it doesn't matter what we say. If we are really targeted for saying something, then..."
A smile appeared on his lips. "That proves... our reasoning is correct. It's even better if someone can directly prove it for us! Number 2, are you afraid of death?"
"Compared to death, I care more about being kept in the dark and living in confusion for the rest of my life!"
No. 2 spoke powerfully, without a trace of fear.
Chu Xu nodded slightly: "Without evidence, with evidence, very good... No. 3, continue with your inference!"
"Hmm!" No. 3 continued the topic he had just raised: "No. 2 just said that this global zombie virus incident and the rule override incident happened at the same time, like a conspiracy specifically targeting us. I agree with this. If there are still people from the ancient humans alive, then... what role did they play in it? They disappeared for so long, what are they hiding from? Could it be that... there are ancient humans around us, but we have never discovered them?"
Number 2 clapped his hands, "It's very likely! The extraordinary strength of ancient humans was so strong. Our current top expert is only at the fourth level, and in their records... there are still quite a few fourth-level extraordinary people, and there are also many fifth-level extraordinary people. It was they who launched some kind of struggle. If... if humans really reach a certain limit, then lifespan... will it still be a problem?"
Chu Xu interrupted, "Hu Shou said that after reaching the fourth level, he can control genes to replicate and divide stem cells, so as to stay young at all times. Theoretically, his life span can be extended to a long time, not shorter than that of a turtle. This is only the primary stage of the fourth level..."
This was the first time Chu Xu had said this information. No. 3 suddenly caught an inspiration. "In that case... it is not impossible for those powerful transcendents to be alive until now! Then the most critical part of my reasoning is filled in . If... the power of a Level 5 transcendent is comparable to that of a human nuclear bomb, then will the war between them cause a nuclear winter similar to the nuclear winter caused by the Third World War in our simulation? Their war caused a transcendent winter, which led to drastic changes in the earth's ecological environment, resulting in the disappearance of spiritual energy and the extinction of all races. Only these immortal transcendents survived. They mingled among humans and played a kind of prophetic role in our development, leading humans to change. In just a few thousand years, they have developed to the point where they are today..."
No. 2 frowned: "No... If you infer this way, then what is the relationship between the surviving ancient humans, the zombie virus, and the rule overwrite?"
"Don't worry... As time goes by, although they are immortal, their strength will decline seriously. Because the earth has lost its spiritual energy, their energy is exhausted and they can't exert any power. If they want to change this situation, they have to find a way to implement... the spiritual energy recovery plan on the earth! In this way, they can create "energy crystal cores" that can absorb solar energy and human flesh and blood energy to produce spiritual energy, and then restore their strength by absorbing crystal cores. The rule that thermal weapons cannot be used is the ability they activate, or the divine power of the fifth-level extraordinary - to modify the rules of reality!"
"The reason they do this is because they are afraid that we will quickly eliminate the zombies, which will cause them to die before they develop and they won't be able to get the energy they want. I guess the reason they haven't shown up yet is because... their strength hasn't fully recovered. There is still a force in this world that they fear! After they absorb a large amount of energy from the crystal cores and recover their strength, they will reveal their true identities and then... rule our world and become living true gods!"
“Do you remember the destroyed mural of the Sixth Blessing? A god-like person was emitting divine light in the sky, and countless people were worshipping him below. If the owner of the ancient ruins had not expected that the painting would disappear and left a wisp of energy to reproduce the content of the painting in a short time, it would be difficult for us to know the status of the fifth-level extraordinary people. They... are the gods worshipped in ancient times!”
"The paintings that were reproduced disappeared in a short period of time... This proves that someone is behind this and will erase all traces of their existence!"
No. 3 adjusted his frameless glasses, a faint light flashing, "But they didn't expect... this just proves their existence. Now, there are still fifth-level extraordinary people in this world!"
After saying this, No. 3 spread his hands and looked at No. 2. No. 2 nodded slightly, as if he had fulfilled some request. No. 3 smiled with relief.
At this moment, the command room suddenly became quiet. Chu Xu pulled the people around him and said, "Don't talk. Come to me and stay away from No. 3!"
The others didn't waste any time and moved away from No. 3. They gathered around Chu Xu and waited quietly. After 10 minutes, nothing happened...
"Alas... What a pity. After accumulating it for so long, I still can't prove it all at once. This kind of inference is too difficult to make!"
No. 3 breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression also became depressed.
The other wallfacers looked at No. 3 curiously, wanting to ask him what he was waiting for. Chu Xu took two steps forward, stood in the middle of the command room, and explained, "He was waiting for an annihilation!"
Except for Wallfacer No. 2, everyone else was confused: "Eliminate?"
"An erasure like the disappearing painting. Just now, if No. 3's inference is close to correct, it means that he has pointed out the fact of the existence of ancient extraordinary beings. He has sorted out the events that have happened on the entire earth and concluded that something is very likely to happen. He wants to trigger certain conditions in exchange for the fifth-level extraordinary being to erase him and then confirm the other party's existence. If this really happens... we will know where the enemy is!"
"But... the fact that it didn't happen doesn't prove that the inference is wrong. It is currently in the stage of being confirmed. If more favorable evidence is found later, it can be added to this inference. However... since you have reasoned to this point just now, why don't you be bolder and directly point out where those fifth-level extraordinary people are?"
"No. 2, I believe you can understand what I mean. I need you to say this because I still have a lot of things to do that cannot be erased!"
No. 2 frowned and thought for a long time before he suddenly realized, "You mean if the fifth-level extraordinary people exist, what identities do they show themselves to others and what are they doing, right?"
Seeing that Chu Xu didn't say anything, No. 2 continued, "If No. 3's inference is correct, then the fifth-order extraordinary people who survived in ancient times did all this to restore their own strength, and they must have a huge demand for crystal cores! They need a huge amount of crystal cores to absorb and repair themselves, so as long as they find someone in this world who is purchasing crystal cores in large quantities without limit..."
No. 2's face suddenly turned pale, as if he had thought of something extremely important.
