Volume 7: The Truth of the World Chapter 26: Into Hell
Three days later, the Zhengzhou battle was a great victory!
The 8 million zombie tide without the Z zombies leading it is more fragile than imagined, and is not even as powerful as the 5 million zombie tide in the neighboring province. The people from the Zhengzhou branch of Tianluodiwang are chasing the fleeing zombies. This is a long-term task that requires a lot of time and is much more difficult than defeating 8 million zombies.
The zombies in my hometown have been driven away, so the next step is to bring the survivors back to the Zhengzhou base.
Although the soldiers of Tianluodiwang have lived very comfortably in Home No. 1 these days, they know that this is a temporary residence. The base of Ark No. 1 will be left for Tianluodiwang people from other places to live temporarily and cannot be occupied for a long time. Therefore, the soldiers of Tianluodiwang are mentally prepared. Although they are reluctant to leave the various delicacies and entertainments in Home No. 1, they still have to go back.
Today, the director of the Zhengzhou branch came to bid farewell to Shen Jin, "I'm sorry to bother your base for this week. Thank you, Colonel Shen, for sending troops to help us defeat the zombie tide. It's time for us to leave!"
Shen Jin said with some regret: "Director Zhu, you are leaving after not staying for long. In fact, you can stay. You can see that we still have a lot of space in Home No. 1. It is no problem to accommodate more than 500,000 of you!"
"I appreciate your kindness, Colonel Shen, but we are soldiers from Zhengzhou and we must go back to Zhengzhou. The headquarters still has regional missions, and we also have to help other areas of the province fight zombies. All good things must come to an end, and after the apocalypse is over... I will definitely drink with Colonel Shen!"
"But I don't drink..."
“Ah, this!”
“Hahahaha~!”
“Hehehe~!”
Shen Jin smiled, and Director Zhu also smiled, "Take care!"
"Goodbye!"
Shen Jin knew that he could not keep the people in Tianluodiwang. They still had a mission to complete, and the country was still waiting for them to save it.
After returning to Ark Base No. 1, Director Zhu informed the soldiers that they could begin arranging the evacuation of the Zhengzhou survivors. "Everyone will be very happy to know that they can return to their hometown!"
At this moment, the secretary suddenly came running over with an anxious look on his face to report, "Director Zhu, it's bad! Something happened!"
"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the zombie tide in Zhengzhou?"
"No, it's the survivors from Zhengzhou who have problems..."
"What could possibly be wrong with the survivors?"
"They... don't want to leave!"
"Well ?"
Director Zhu followed his secretary to wander around the Ark Base No. 1. He was the commander on the front line and usually had to go out to command the troops to kill zombies. These days, he hadn't seen much of the temporary base. Only then did he realize... there seemed to be a little few people. When they first arrived, everyone was crowded. Although the construction team of Home No. 1 came to expand the house, the survivors were all in 12-person rooms. Usually, the base was noisy, noisy, and crowded. Now... it was extremely empty. "Where are our people?"
The secretary said bitterly, "They have moved to the Hulu District of Home No. 1..."
"Why move there? Did Home No. 1 let them live there?"
The secretary scratched his head: "They actively attracted the survivors to live there!"
For a moment, Director Zhu was stunned. Before he knew it, everyone in his hometown had been moved out.
"So many people...don't want to go back to their hometown with us? That's their hometown!"
The secretary led Director Zhu to a middle-aged man who was about to pack up and leave Ark Base No. 1. "My fellow, where are you going?"
"The Hulu District, my brothers are all there!"
"So you don't plan to go back to Zhengzhou with us? Don't you miss home?"
The middle-aged man tilted his head and thought for a moment, "I am enjoying myself here, and I don't miss Zheng!"
Director Zhu: “…”
secretary:"……"
"Leaders, it's okay. I'm leaving now. I still have to clean the new house over there!"
The people in Tianluodiwang could only watch as a large number of survivors of the base stayed behind, and they only took the remaining 100,000 people back to Zhengzhou to start their journey of rebuilding their homes.
The next day after returning, Director Zhu wailed, "Shit! Where is our food!?"
…
In addition to the many people at Ark Base No. 1 who chose to stay at Home No. 1, the same was true at Ark Base No. 2. No one could refuse an opportunity to improve their living standards. This was actually a bit like the class transition before the end of the world, from being promoted from a poor family to a well-off family. No effort was required, only a correct choice was needed.
The Tianluodiwang branch of Chengdu City was somewhat dissatisfied at first. They closed the entrances and exits of the base and refused to allow the survivors to move into Home No. 1. Shang Qian was dissatisfied at that time!
Tianluodiwang claims to respect the right to personal freedom of every Chinese citizen, and No. 1 Home does not kidnap or defraud, so why should they deprive these survivors of their right to choose?
Shen Jin went to Hu Shouyi to complain, and he immediately released the man. Hu Shouyi was still the leader of the Tianluodiwang, and his words were still effective.
After dealing with this episode, Shen Jin and his team focused their efforts on dealing with the zombie tyrants. In the past three days, they helped the Tianluodiwang people to relocate multiple bases that were attacked by the zombie tyrants. The Ark 3~5 of Homeland No. 1 was put into use one after another. The logistics staff were busy. Shang Qian recruited a group of talents to meet the labor shortage. The 9th and 10th wallfacers also lived directly in Homeland No. 1. The two of them represented Tianluodiwang and fully cooperated with Homeland No. 1 to complete the population transfer operation.
At the same time, he also cooperated with Shen Jin to improve the defense of the entire Home No. 1 to deal with the upcoming tide of tens of millions of zombies from City B!
Led by the zombie tyrant, they rushed straight to Homeland No. 1. It was unknown whether it was because they sensed that there were many people here, or because the faces of Shen Jin, Sun Can, and the zombie killing team of Homeland No. 1 were stained with too much blood of zombies from City B...
After all, if they hadn't cleaned up, there would still be 20 million zombies in City B.
This wave of zombies will probably take another 3 or 4 days to arrive.
In addition, Shen Jin and Sun Can have not been idle these days. They developed a new tactic and went to Province Y to provoke a zombie tyrant. Unfortunately, their old method did not work. The zombie tyrant saw through the environment of the psychic and kicked the imitator. If he hadn't been wearing a gravity breastplate, he would have died on the spot.
Fortunately, the advantage of the Zombie Tyrant is not its speed. After using fusion skills to resist for a while, everyone fled together.
The battle was lost, but there were no casualties.
Hu Shou has not come over these few days. He is still cooperating with the biological laboratory to study the captured zombie tyrant. "If I remember correctly, Commander Hu said that there will be preliminary research results today..."
Shen Jin is still unable to defeat the zombie tyrant relying on his own strength, so he must bring Hu Shou with him to support him. The presence of this fourth-level extraordinary person is very important.
“Swish!”
There was a flash of space above the No. 1 Home Base, and Hu Shou appeared there. He had already obtained the [Space Locator] given by Shen Jin, and could also use the ability of teleportation, which saved him a lot of trouble. This was also because after fighting side by side last time, Shen Jin felt that he should keep in touch with Hu Shou in the future, so he gave him one.
"How's it going, Commander Hu? What have you found?"
"The Zombie Tyrant is not human. Its genes are completely different from ours, but they are 90% similar to the genes of the zombie virus. So it is preliminarily speculated that the Zombie Tyrant and the zombies on the street are the same creatures, except that they are intelligent zombies. Perhaps... they are the ancestors of the zombies on Earth!"
"The ancestor of zombies?"
"That's right. We speculate that the zombie virus was taken from them, so... the source of this global disaster points to these zombie tyrants. Unfortunately, we still can't figure out their language, and we don't know why they do this!"
"Hiss - so, they are monsters from another world, and they deliberately dropped the zombie virus on Earth to destroy us?"
"From what I can see now... this is the case!"
"Then what is their purpose? Why do they have to destroy us humans? Occupy our planet? Or breed zombies? A zombie version of Thanos?"
Zhu Dan's ears perked up, as if he heard something interesting...
Hu Shou shook his head: "It's not clear yet. We need more evidence to deduce the result. Maybe... it has something to do with the ancient fifth-order extraordinary person. What do you think?"
"Hmm? Ancient fifth-order transcendents? Aren't they all dead?"
"Maybe not..."
Shen Jin didn't understand what Hu Shou meant at all. How did this have anything to do with the ancient fifth-order transcendent?
Zombies are zombies.
Seeing that Shen Jin had nothing to say, Hu Shou turned to Sun Can and asked, "Sun Can, what do you think?"
"Me? I think...it's better for us to find a way to deal with the Zombie Tyrant first!"
Sun Can is still quite pragmatic.
However, Shen Jin felt that something was wrong. This was not the first time that Hu Shou had mentioned the ancient fifth-order transcendents. Could they really exist?
The combat power of the fourth stage is already enough to overturn the world and apply the rules, so...what is the fifth stage like?
How amazing would the methods of a fifth-level transcendent be?
Suddenly, Shen Jin thought of his system and the power of the system!
"Rules! Yes, rules!"
Isn’t the system’s ability to block things beyond comprehension?
There is also the storage capacity of the [box]. The things placed inside not only have no weight, but also no time passage. This has completely changed the rules of this world. Shen Jin believes that everything has a traceable source and the system will not appear out of thin air!
There must be some secrets behind the system that he doesn't know!
At this time, Hu Shou mentioned the fifth-order transcendent, which reminded Shen Jin that his system... was the creation of an ancient fifth-order transcendent?
Why would they leave this behind?
Have they predicted that this disaster would happen on Earth, and thus selected a few people to obtain the system to help humanity cope with this apocalyptic crisis?
Why choose me? Why choose Sun Can?
How are we different?
And that sword...is there a third system?
"That's right! There are intelligent creatures behind the system controlling it!"
Shen Jin recalled his previous reasoning. Because someone had responded to him when he was choosing the system, it must be an intelligent creature, even an AI.
"I understand!"
Shen Jin looked at Hu Shou, "Hu Shou thinks that my ability comes from the ancient fifth-order extraordinary beings, so he wants to ask us if we have seen them!"
"There is an ancient fifth-order extraordinary being still alive!"
Shen Jin's inference suddenly coincided with the inferences of the wall-facing practitioners of the Tianluodiwang.
system!
The system is the key to this reasoning. If we understand who is behind the system, we can answer Hu Shou's question.
Shen Jin tried to call the system in his mind, "I want to talk to the system!"
"Are you an ancient fifth-order transcendent?"
"You're still alive...or rather, you're still alive, right?"
Shen Jin did not receive a reply, just like before.
Shen Jin shook his head, threw all of this out of his mind, and said to Hu Shou: "I will help you keep an eye on the affairs of the ancient fifth-level extraordinary. If there is any news, I will tell you!"
A smile appeared on Hu Shoujian's square face, "Okay!"
He was just waiting for Shen Jin to say this. He was always good at judging people. Shen Jin... was one of them. No matter who was standing behind him, he would always be one of them.
Sun Can said: "I don't understand what you are talking about. It is more important to improve your strength. If you are not at the fourth level, you will be an ant. Once your strength reaches a certain level, we will have all the answers we want!"
Zhu Dan: "I agree. I feel that my ability has reached the fourth level... and there will be unexpected changes!"
Yang Ao: "Brother Jin, Commander Hu is here, let's get started!"
Hu Shou was a little confused: "Start what?"
“Follow me!”
Shen Jin led everyone to a secret space on the back mountain. After entering the mountain, a nuclear power plant was working. Hu Shou's face changed slightly. If this thing exploded, his fourth-level body would not be able to withstand it...
The others obviously didn't know that Shen Jin had brought them to the nuclear power plant, and they were all instinctively afraid. This thing had a very strong deterrent power. It was said that if it wasn't handled properly, it would be as powerful as a nuclear bomb...
Shen Jin: "Don't worry, my nuclear power plant is very stable. It has been running for almost a year and there have been no major safety accidents!"
"No major safety accidents have occurred? That means there have been accidents!"
Yang Ao caught the loophole in Shen Jin's words, and Shen Jin turned his head away: "No!"
"Then why are you turning your head?!"
Yang Ao knew Shen Jin's character too well. Once he wanted to cheat someone, he wouldn't even look you in the eye.
Finally, Shen Jin led everyone into the depths of the mountain. Below the nuclear power plant, there was a gate surrounded by [obsidian], with a hollow space in the middle. Shen Jin took out the [flint], took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, are you ready for our journey to another world?"
Hu Shou asked sharply, "The fire world last time?"
"That's right! We are going to that world to find some answers and truth!"
Hu Shou nodded. He had been to that world before. There were dangers there, but... not enough to hurt him. With him by their side, everyone should be able to rest assured. Of course... there might also be more powerful creatures. He would just deal with them as the time came.
But he was a little puzzled, why could this purple door lead to that world?
"Everyone, activate your gravity armor!"
The air there is highly toxic and the temperature is over 100 degrees. If you don't use armor, you will cause harm to yourself.
“I’ve turned it on!”
Shen Jin struck the flint, and a streak of sparks fell on the door. Everyone put on their armor and waited with bated breath...
After a moment, nothing happened.
Shen Jin: “…”
Hu Shou: “…”
Zhu Dan: “…”
Next to him, Sun Can seemed to be thinking about something, a flame appeared from his hand and floated to the center of the door.
"boom!"
