Chapter 16: T-Virus Oral Solution
Yes, Fang Ge hadn’t consumed any antibodies at all.
What he ingested was the T-Virus Original Solution!
At this moment, there were still a little over thirty minutes until the horror movie ended.
A normal human, if not injected with an antibody within ten minutes of T-Virus infection, would turn into a zombie; the complete transformation into a zombie would take approximately 20 minutes.
But it’s important to note, Fang Ge was not a normal human; his immunity was as high as 200 points, the limit for a regular human.
With the boost from his immunity, even without an antibody injection, he could last until the horror movie ended, thus returning to the Main God Space for repair.
By taking the T-Virus Original Solution beforehand, he avoided being infected by the degraded T-Virus, which would have prevented him from achieving the maximum possible physical enhancement.
It also prepared the groundwork for opening his Gene Lock later.
After all, the T-Virus is not only a C-grade enhancement but also promotes the opening of the Gene Lock.
Opening the lock with external force would lower the Main God’s potential rating for him! Zhang Jie would also be preserved.
“Boom!”
A huge Explosion sound came from behind him, and Fang Ge immediately stopped what he was doing and quickly followed the main group.
The detonation of the C4 timed bomb not only meant that the zombies’ direction would be attracted—it also meant that the creeper had been active for a full minute!
“Quicken your pace; once we reach the stairs, use bombs to cut off the retreat, and get to the station as quickly as possible!”
Noticing Fang Ge rejoin the team, James quickly sent out a signal. He didn’t know what exactly made Zhang Jie so scared, but it didn’t stop him from feeling scared too.
The entire well-trained team quickly began to move, orderly and with clear, concise actions.
The most troublesome creeper had not yet appeared, and everyone advanced on the wide road. Thanks to Fang Ge and Chu Xuan’s operations and arrangements, the mercenaries temporarily didn’t have to worry about pursuers, only clearing blockades.
Batch after batch of zombies appeared, then were precisely taken down by firepower. If they didn’t hinder progress, the zombies were allowed to crawl; only the remains blocking the main path needed an extra bullet to the head…
Both mercenaries and soldiers were well-trained professionals and wouldn’t falter at critical moments.
Zheng Zha was also a strong adult male, and had previously achieved a mental breakthrough, making him practically a sharpshooter at close range, showing no fear when killing zombies.
But there was one exception… that was the useless Ms. Zhan.
Not to mention firing, even keeping up with the team was extremely difficult for her, but thankfully, no one had any expectations of her.
Alice and Rain, these two female warriors, were also willing to protect the fragile bespectacled girl—but the more such an individual, the more they would be targeted by the Main God.
‘Clang!’
A metal door suddenly collapsed, making the hearts of the alert group skip a beat, and their gaze involuntarily turned towards it.
It was a huge dark figure!
“Da da da!”
Bullets, vibrations, flying muzzle flashes.
No need for much judgment, the threat of the newcomer was definitely greater than that of ordinary zombies!
Rain’s semi-automatic weapon roared beside Zhan Lan’s ear, but it didn’t achieve anything.
“So fast!”
“What is that?”
The dark shadow’s speed far exceeded human imagination; it didn’t walk upright but was extremely skilled at climbing. Bullets didn’t hit any vital spots and couldn’t interfere with its actions.
This creeper climbed onto the roof in just a few movements!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” It was Zheng Zha who followed with his gun. His reaction speed was fast enough to clearly see the creeper’s movements!
The creeper, intending to pounce from the rafters, had its exposed brain matter directly blown apart by three shots from Zheng Zha. It fell backward, away from everyone, undoubtedly meeting its demise!
Is this right? This is not right!
“Damn it!” Before Zheng Zha could feel proud, he realized that “this place is not suitable for a long stay”!
“Spread out!”
In fact, everyone’s movement was much faster than James’s voice could travel.
No one wanted to be hit by the creeper; even a graze from its sharp claws and teeth could lead to infection with that terrifying zombie virus!
This also meant that the meticulously organized formation would have to break apart because of this!
—Others didn’t care much, but breaking formation was almost fatal for Zhan Lan.
Fang Ge slightly turned his body to dodge the falling creeper.
The T-Virus in him had begun to take effect; he could feel his body becoming lighter and lighter, and everything around him seemed to slow down.
This was because his neural reaction speed and muscle strength were increasing under the influence of the T-Virus, and as an energy expenditure, the fat stored in his body was rapidly decreasing.
At this stage, he would be at the peak of his personal combat power… As time continued to pass, his muscles would also gradually diminish due to high-speed metabolism, and his condition would then be worse than it was now.
The feeling of possessing superhuman physical abilities was great, giving Fang Ge, who had long suffered the torment of 80 five-dimensional attributes, an impulse to “show off his skills.”
“Woof woof!”
—The creeper even walks dogs… Strange, isn’t it? This is the Main God Space.
Fang Ge, of course, knew about zombie dogs. Before infection, they were Doberman Pinschers, common military and police working dogs. After zombification, they still retained some of their instincts… They usually appear in packs and still retain their sense of smell.
In the original plot, they didn’t cause much trouble and were easily dealt with by Alice, but comparatively, their threat was greater than that of ordinary zombies.
Zombies are not strong; quite the opposite, compared to a normal adult, zombies are slow and weak. The truly difficult part to deal with is…
If there are no antibodies, one must be unharmed when facing zombies.
And zombie dogs are fast, small targets, and numerous, so the difficulty of remaining unharmed is naturally greater.
—Breaking formation, then using small units to charge, did the Main God enhance the intelligence of the creepers?
Unknown.
Several zombie dogs lunged towards the team, and the first to be targeted was the bespectacled girl, who, after dodging, had not yet managed to stand up due to her inconvenient legs.
In a flash, Zhan Lan realized that she would never have time to use the gun in her hand.
So, what needed to be done was simple.
Sacrifice the pawn to save the king.
Women are physically inferior to men, but in terms of pain endurance, they far surpass men!
“Rip~”
Cheap fabric was torn apart. The only thing Zhan Lan could do was raise her hand as much as possible and offer her exposed, “tender” and “sweet” arm to the dog’s mouth.
The vicious dog’s pounce brought a strong impact, and Zhan Lan was finally knocked to the ground, but she was also fortunate enough to achieve a small amount of “movement.”
That was enough.
“Bang!”
Fang Ge’s choice was very scientific; he did not shoot the zombie dog that was tearing at Zhan Lan, but instead prioritized dealing with the other individuals who were about to press forward.
They still had antibodies, so even if her arm was broken from the bite, it didn’t matter. As long as Zhan Lan’s leg injury didn’t affect her running, she still had a chance to survive!
“Use a flashbang! Be sure to close your eyes.”
Chu Xuan spoke, his voice as calm as ever.
Even though Chu Xuan didn’t have command authority, the trust established earlier still made Kaplan act spontaneously.
“Buzz—!!”
Pure white light covered the room; even with eyes closed, Fang Ge’s vision was affected.
The mechanism of a flashbang is to produce a huge sound at the moment of Explosion, causing surrounding personnel to lose their sense of direction and hearing, thus losing their ability to resist, but it does not form shrapnel or a shockwave, so it will not cause permanent damage to surrounding personnel.
This was almost devastating for zombies whose hearing was specialized.
The tearing sensation from Zhan Lan’s arm disappeared at this moment; the vicious zombie dog seemed to be twitching in convulsions, losing all its strength and means.
However, she couldn’t see anything, and the sharp ringing in her ears made her lose her sense of direction.
Fortunately, there were now four superhumans in the team.
Alice, who had been supported by Zhan Lan, took action. As a perfect T-Virus enhanced body, she quickly “neutralized” the remaining zombie dogs, then grabbed Zhan Lan’s intact arm, helped her up, and supported the bespectacled girl as they moved.
Zhan Lan was almost dragged by Alice in her daze… As her hearing gradually recovered, she seemed to have covered a considerable distance and soon heard Fang Ge’s voice.
“Give her to me, I have an antibody here.”
“You two… are good friends, aren’t you? Are you waiting for her?”
Alice’s tone had a hint of teasing. She nodded gently and handed Zhan Lan over to Fang Ge, who was trailing at the very back of the team.
“Ah… Even better than you and Lisa, we’re friends who’ve faced life and death together.”
Fang Ge replied casually, watching Alice catch up with the squad.
“Thank you… What’s the situation now?” Zhan Lan leaned against Fang Ge, unable to help but ask.
“The flashbang was very powerful; almost all the nearby zombies are paralyzed, and we’ve covered a long distance.”
Fang Ge supported Zhan Lan, replying softly, “But this will inevitably attract more distant zombies, so we must move quickly… The stairs are just ahead.”
“Stairs…” Zhan Lan felt worried about her legs when she thought of the frighteningly long stairs.
Blood was still flowing from her arm; could she really survive?
“If you want to live, drink this.”
A clear blue liquid was handed to Zhan Lan.
“This is!”
