Although Xu Linna had been physically transformed into a human, her genes remained that of a zombie, specifically a Zombie Queen.
While she was willing to leave the apocalypse for Zhang Chen and enter a world populated entirely by humans.
It did not mean she had completely escaped the influence of the infected.
During this time, she had never given up on researching the zombie virus.
Moreover, as her own strength advanced, the zombie virus had also evolved into numerous forms.
The current world was not caused by Xu Ruina; she remembered Zhang Chen's principle of not easily destroying a world.
To have a conflict with Zhang Chen over a trivial hobby was an irrational act, and this was a bottom line that Xu Ruina would absolutely not cross.
This world was a portal randomly opened in the apocalyptic world, which accidentally swallowed a common zombie.
Thus, it had become what it was now.
Originally, Xu Ruina had discovered this world by pure chance, thinking that a single zombie would likely be easily annihilated by the world's modern weaponry.
She hadn't expected that after a few days, this zombie would not only survive but also turn the peaceful city upside down.
"Hiss... already seven hundred thousand zombies? They've developed quite rapidly!"
Xu Ruina's surprise was mixed with a hint of admiration.
She closed her eyes slightly, and the map of the entire city appeared before her.
However, areas occupied by zombies were lit up, while areas without zombies remained dark, similar to a war fog.
"Since this world is already beyond saving, why don't I accelerate its demise!"
This thought suddenly emerged in Xu Ruina's mind, and she immediately began to act.
Despite the sheer number of seventy thousand zombies, only a small portion were pursuing humans.
The vast majority of the remaining zombies were aimlessly wandering.
Xu Ruina sensed the zombies' attributes:
[Speed]: Normal, equivalent to a normal person's running speed.
[Strength]: Normal, equivalent to the full output strength of an ordinary adult.
[Physical Strength]: Normal, unable to withstand bullets, sharp weapons, or blunt force attacks.
[Type]: Only common type, no mutations.
[Perception Method]: Normal vision, acute hearing.
After understanding the zombies' strength, Xu Ruina couldn't help but sigh:
"The humans living in this world are truly too fortunate!"
"To only have to face such ordinary zombies!"
"Let me increase the difficulty for you!"
Xu Ruina drew some energy from her body and slowly connected it to these zombies.
"Increase sensory ability, keen sense of smell!"
As a trace of energy entered the zombies' bodies, their physical structures underwent subtle changes.
Soon, the zombies suddenly raised their heads and sniffed the air around them.
The streets were filled with the scent of blood, making the smell of living people easy to distinguish.
"Roar~"
"Goooh..."
The zombies, which had been aimlessly wandering the streets, suddenly became invigorated and began to ram the doors of nearby shops in groups.
Some survivors, seeing their hiding places discovered, quickly fled.
However, no matter how fast the survivors ran, the zombies behind them were always relentlessly pursuing.
Humans get tired, but zombies do not.
Before long, the few people who had escaped from the shop were pounced upon by zombies and began to be devoured.
These zombies were not greedy; they only attacked vital points. Once a target died or was severely infected, they would immediately stop attacking and search for other targets.
Soon, the military dispatched ground troops, beginning to set up defenses on the main streets around the city.
The figures of fighter jets also appeared in the sky.
"These little zombie babies might not be a match for the military!"
Xu Ruina's heart stirred.
Another stream of energy was slowly injected into the zombies' bodies.
[Speed]: Extremely fast, capable of climbing, jumping, and evading obstacles.
[Strength]: Extremely strong, equivalent to the physical limit of humans.
[Physical Strength]: Extremely strong, capable of resisting minor scratches and piercing damage, with a more robust skull.
[Type]: Common zombies, mutated zombies.
[Perception Method]: Acute vision, acute hearing, acute smell, thermal perception.
"Roar~"
The zombies' howls echoed through the city streets.
"It's time to go and watch the excitement!"
Xu Ruina said, then lightly leaped from the rooftop, landing heavily on the ground.
The air current instantly shattered the glass of nearby shops.
The zombies around them all paused slightly upon seeing Xu Ruina, freezing in place.
"You all carry on with your business, don't mind me. If there's nothing else, attack the southern city checkpoint, and I'll see how strong humanity's modern weaponry is!"
Xu Ruina said lightly.
"Roar~"
"Aooo!~"
As if receiving an order, these zombies let out strange cries and charged towards the military's defense line.
On the other side, at the military checkpoint in the southern part of the city.
Thousands of soldiers, along with over a hundred tanks and infantry vehicles, were on high alert.
The street in front of them was littered with the corpses of zombies.
"Although these zombies are highly infectious, in front of a modern army, they are at best a group of unarmed rioters!"
"At this level, trying to withstand our steel torrent is likely a pipe dream!"
The general said with satisfaction, looking at the zombie corpses on the street from inside his command vehicle.
"You can tell the air force to rest; we will enter the city now and purge all infected."
The general said triumphantly.
"General, according to information from the city administrator, it is said that there were one million people in the city's isolation zone, and it is estimated that there are about 100,000 survivors!"
"However, our logistics cannot afford the testing and evacuation work for 100,000 people..."
The quartermaster said to the general with a troubled expression.
"What ten thousand people? The entire city has fallen! There are only zombies here, no humans, do you understand?!"
"Besides, the administrator is not in the city; he is comfortably stationed in the rear, drinking coffee and enjoying the air conditioning in his office. How can he understand the front-line combat?"
"Those survivors have lives, but do the lives of the soldiers guarding the checkpoints and gathered here not matter?"
"Once a survivor is infected, they become a ticking time bomb, capable of infecting dozens, hundreds, or even more infected at any moment."
"Therefore... in this operation, we encountered no survivors!"
As the general spoke, he tore the documents held by the quartermaster into pieces, scattered them on the ground, and then declared:
"The entire army advances!"
