CH 296
The Return of The Lord God
The Godslayer Dagger moved at Bai Lixinâs will and he was able to release and retract it freely.
The person he had transmigrated as was called Zhou Bu. He had been an experimental subject on a base because of his self-healing powers. The base was a small one and was soon trampled by the zombies, but Zhou Bu escaped because of his power and then moved to this place.
Faith and beliefs collapsed, the divine world was destroyed, and the world was devastated.
If it was his first appearance here, it would not be a big deal. But he had been in this world hundreds of millions of years ago when the flowers and plants were in full bloom and the world was thriving.
âWhere could Dijia be?â Bai Lixin was in a trance, muttering to himself.
[Lord Host, it was the Lord God who guided you here. So, even if he is not by your side right now, he will find you. With his soul fully fused, his power cannot be underestimated, so you need not worry.]
[Even you donât know where Dijia is?]
[My abilities were restricted after coming to the Divine Realm. I am unable to get the worldâs memories now and can only interpret the original ownerâs memories, Lord Host.]
S419Mâs tone suddenly changed, [Lord host, there is a killing intent!]
Bai Lixinâs eyes widened as he jumped from the bed with one hand and flipped a metre away. Countless vines with thorns sprung up from under the bed and pierced through.
âGood senses, but a pity.â A voice came from the thorns. Bai Lixin braced his hands on the ground, his eyes indifferent. Many vines appeared where he had just landed and wound around him, trapping him firmly. The thorns dug into his skin and blood flowed.
Seeing that Bai Lixin was bound, the thick thorns quickly receded at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing the two men hidden among them.
They were twins of about 17 or 18 years old, with identical looks, hairstyles, and clothing. The only difference was that one had a slightly pale face and the other had wheatish skin.
The wheat-skinned boy grinned cheekily and said to his brother at his side, âZhou Pingâs calculations are still first-rate. If you hadnât known he would run to that position, I wouldnât have planted the seeds early. â
Bai Lixinâs face was expressionless, but he couldnât help but spit in his heart.
Your grandpa is the ancestor of the grass game, and you are showing off in front of me. If I hadnât stayed put to see what kind of tricks you were going to play, this grandpa would have killed you. And what about predicting attacks? Are you that proud of that? Isnât it natural to have experienced after a lot of battles?
However, based on what the teenager said, it appeared that the pale-skinned one was a brain power.
âWho are you people?â
âHehehehe, my name is Zhou An. This is my brother Zhou Ping, a member of the pioneer battle team in this base. Hehehe, I heard that your power is self-healing?â
Zhou An walked towards Bai Lixin amidst the wreckage, manipulating the thorns to lift Bai Lixinâs arm into his hand.
The thorns receded, and Zhou An cautiously stroked the arm covered in wounds.
Without warning, he suddenly gave a hard tug and ripped Bai Lixinâs arm off.
The tearing sensation hit him. Bai Lixin let the mischievous teenager have his fun, although it was less than a thousandth of the pain from body strengthening. He looked to one side with an extremely pained look on his face.
The teenager laughed out loud with pleasure and threw his arm into the distance, circling Bai Lixin to examine him.
The pale boy in the distance stared at Bai Lixinâs arm unblinkingly. It had been torn off, but was now slowly creating bones, meridians, and flesh at a speed visible to the naked eye.
By now, Bai Lixin was sweating profusely on his forehead.
âExcellent. Heâs an advanced self-healing power. Brother, bring him to my lab. â
âDidnât that man say that the scientists at the base had been killed?â
âThey were naturally killed because they were wastes without ability. Even combined, none of them are as capable as me. So in terms of researching drugs, I alone am sufficient.â The pale boy laughed, and with a wink to his brother, he took the lead and left.
Bai Lixin didnât break free from his restraints and allowed the teenager to carry him up to the lab.
The laboratory at this base was much larger than the one in the original ownerâs memory. It had many small rooms in the corridors, that had bulletproof glass walls. Bai Lixin looked around those experimental areas where there were zombies after zombies.
Once infected by the zombie virus, the body begins to change significantly; the limbs become longer, the skin becomes hard, and their bodies grow taller, but their features do not change so much. They were not as disgusting, full of dirt, and lacking in thought as in zombie movies. These strange zombies have their aesthetics and also their minds.
In other words, once a human is infected by the zombie virus, it is as if the soul has been stripped of its body and the person becomes a completely new individual. Although the zombies had human bodies, they had no memories or souls.
The zombies in the glass enclosures were held inside, naked and with some festering all over its body.
What is the difference between a self-healing power and these zombies imprisoned in a glass enclosure with no freedom to speak of?
[Help me decipher Zhou Anâs memories.]
[As ordered, Lord Host.]
Zhou Anâs memories began to pass into Bai Lixinâs mind as the system interpreted them. Zhou Ping and Zhou An were twins born through artificial fertilization. With the outbreak of the zombie virus more than thirty years ago, women were unable to produce and conceive, perhaps due to humanityâs sense of crisis. For this reason, scientists conducted experiments and eventually cultivated children who were born with powers.
But although these children possessed powers that were beyond the reach of others, there was something wrong with their minds.
These children were bloodthirsty and brutal but were still used by humans to fight against the zombies, despite their defects and inability to control them.
And now, more than thirty years later, those who were in their prime have long since aged, and the major leaders who occupy the base had been gradually replaced by these mentally incompetent children. Although the zombie virus had never been eradicated and there has been an increase in zombies, they were nowhere near as rampant as they were over twenty years ago.
Huge bases had been set up in some places, and the zombies were being driven out, if not exterminated. The war between the various strongholds was only just beginning.
However, the zombies in this stronghold had not yet been wiped out. The humans were only slightly stronger than the zombies but had fallen behind the other large bases.
The boy kept walking all the way, bringing Bai Lixin to the lab bed and locking it up.
âThose are the test subjects my brother captured for me. I am dedicated to the cause of saving humanity. So, as a power with advanced self-healing abilities, it is only right that you give a piece of yourself to that cause.â
The teenager put on a white coat, a mask, a hat, and gloves before picking up his scissors and cutting Bai Lixinâs shirt open. The wound that had just been lacerated by the thorns, âNot bad. The wound has healed. This is the best material indeed.â
âThatâs a good look too, calm and fearless. Fantastic! Youâre going to love being experimented on by me.â
The teenager took out a jar of purple liquid from the surgical cart and came to Bai Lixin, saying, âThis is the poison drawn from the body of a zombie. You are one of the rare people that are both powered and immune to necrotic poison. Donât be nervous. For your first time, letâs try out the ability to immunise against necrotic poison. Iâll collect some data and then weâll continue tomorrow. â
Zhou Ping was muttering to himself as he pushed the zombie poison into Bai Lixinâs vein.
âZhou Ping, have you thought about what would happen by pushing such a large amount of zombie blood into me? What if I canât purify myself and mutate? â
âWouldnât it be better if it mutated? Your value would be more prominent. Baby, youâre a human now. Even if Iâm researching a vaccine, it would only work against a body that has zombie poison. Although Zhou An captured so many zombies for me, they didnât have the ability to heal themselves, and every vaccine I injected into them made their hearts beat faster and their eyes fill with blood. They couldnât survive more than a few minutes. Iâve been trying to find a zombie that has the ability to heal itself.â
Zhou Ping stroked Bai Lixinâs bangs and smiled extraordinarily sweetly, âHuman progress is destined to be great only when someone makes a sacrifice. You will become that great person who is indispensable to human evolution. Humanity will not forget you.â[Interpreting memories.]
[Okay!]
Zhou Pingâs memories also entered Bai Lixinâs.
As the saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Although this base was only moderate, it had never thought of merging with the base next to it.
In order to grow his strength, the leader kept on sucking in those with powers. But as the number of people increased, the food dwindled.
At this point, Zhou Ping made the statement that âthe survival of the fittest is a matter of choiceâ. Only the strongest people who are valuable to the base have the value to continue to survive, while the rest could only be used as nutrients for the base.
It was Zhou Pingâs statement that became the trigger for the massacre of civilians at the base.
To preserve the good and eliminate waste, the baseâs leaders ordered the execution of all the old, weak, sick, and disabled people who had not made significant contributions to the base 30 years ago.
Most of those killed had even provided sperm or eggs for those young men, and the scientists were their parents.
In other words, these people had killed their âparentsâ with their own hands!
As the memories were gradually interpreted, Bai Lixin looked at Zhou Ping and Zhou An as if they were looking at the dead.
It seemed that it was impossible to get information about the gods from these mortals. And since there was no value, there was no need for him to play along with these two anymore.
