Chapter Twenty-Seven: Mist and Steel
The place where the incubator was located was quite a distance away from the transport plane, and the hatcher and the zombie lord's subordinates were inextricably linked, stopping and walking along the way, turning and turning, and it took nearly two hours to finally arrive at the gate of the school where Lin Xuan had witnessed the whole process of the birth of the incubator before.

"Are you sure it's right here?"
The Zombie Lord deftly took advantage of the bus on the street to hide, and not far away, a patrol of Level 2 zombies swayed past, and he lowered his voice and asked.
"Such a tight defense, don't you think?"
Lin Xuan, who climbed out from under a Santana, patted the dust on his body, "If this is not the case, where can we find it?" "The closer you get to the school, some special zombie teams are ordered everywhere to guard against possible zombie lords, but fortunately, most of the incubator's energy is still focused on destroying the zombie lords' personal guards, which makes the seemingly invulnerable patrol line inevitably have loopholes.
"I feel it...... Oh, I can't wait......"
Just when one person and one corpse were less than a street away from the hatcher, the zombie lord, who had originally maintained the same speed as Lin Xuan, suddenly stopped and muttered to himself.
Lin Xuan also stopped, glanced at the zombie lord who was standing in confusion, calmed down his rapid breathing due to the fast running, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Look at the heavens."
Answering him with three simple words, Lin Xuan subconsciously looked up and was stunned.
Just in the direction where the hatcher was, a bewitching red mist was sprayed into the air nearly a hundred meters by some force, and after this mist reached the sky, it floated everywhere with the wind, and gradually, a large area was covered by the falling red mist, although it was still very thin.
"Event Triggered: Crimson Mist."
"All military personnel have been detected fleeing the city! ...... in task completion judgment"
"The difficulty of the task is higher than the system expects, the original virus has been discovered, and additional rewards will be issued! Please select Quest Reward A: Movement +3, Strength +1.5, B: Regeneration +5, Perception +1. ā
"Make your choice in 60 seconds!"
Lin Xuan's sudden prompt from the system startled Lin Xuan, and then of course he happily began to worry about which one was better to choose, option A can improve his direct combat effectiveness, option B is biased towards improving survivability, given that the current Lin Xuan's frontal combat power is still too low compared to other high-level infected creatures, Lin Xuan finally decided to choose A.
"+3 Movement Ability, +1 Strength."
The black light virus surged rapidly, wandering around Lin Xuan's body, improving his attribute value and body functions, while the zombie lord was taken aback by the sudden change.

"Reach 10 points of mobility...... Break through the evolutionary bottleneck! +10% Movement Speed, +10% Jump Ability"
Evolutionary bottlenecks? What is that?
The vine-like black light virus on Lin Xuan's body receded like a tide and returned to its original appearance, and there was an additional reward for breaking through this so-called evolutionary bottleneck? A 10% increase in movement speed and jumping ability is a useful stat indeed, and it's certainly a good thing.
"What is this?" The zombie lord, who had kept a certain distance from Lin Xuan, asked vigilantly, although Lin Xuan had previously told him that he was infected with the virus, but after he really saw the virus mutation, he was a little nervous.
"A little bit of a boost, it's a good thing for me anyway." Lin Xuan looked up at the sky that had been obscured by the red mist and asked, "What exactly is this fog?" ā
"Crimson Mist, an Incubator-only ability." The Zombie Lord recalled, "You know, the infected are all parasitic from the virus, and the low-level hosts will go crazy to prey on other creatures in order to meet the needs of the virus, but the food is limited, and the infected are huge populations, and many of the infected will die of starvation or hunting among their own kind. ā
"However, the Scarlet Mist solves this problem, it is a large colony of bacteria, relying on photosynthesis to provide nutrients to multiply, and then forming colonies in the air to expand, and falling to the ground will form a bacterial blanket, and the infected body can obtain a certain improvement in the bacterial blanket and mist, in addition, there is basically no starvation or predation to each other."
"What's more." The Zombie Lord sighed, "When an average human enters a place with an extremely high concentration of Crimson Mist, they will be transformed into an infected body by bacteria that enter through the respiratory system. ā
In other words, the Scarlet Mist is the home area of the zombies, and the bonus of this incubator to the zombie population is too great, if anyone wants to recover the city occupied by zombies, the difficulty of a city with incubators is definitely hell-level.
"Does this fog affect us?"
"It's a little bit thicker, but we're all infected, so at most it affects distant vision."
In this way, Lin Xuan would have no worries, and the opportunity to kill the incubator was just around the corner.
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
Liang Yu's heart is very panicked now, I don't know when, there is a monster like a mountain of meat outside, and it just happened to block the only exit of the school, if it was really said that the door was blocked, it was a big deal to go out directly by climbing over the wall, but a large number of zombies who looked murderous surrounded this place tightly, neither the students nor those gangsters dared to make a loud noise, for fear of attracting a large number of zombies to rush in and reimburse them all.
The stunned knocked on the door lightly, and Liang Yu, who was still having a headache, called him in without thinking about it, under normal circumstances, the stunned man would not come to him at this time, since he came, there must be something.
"Boss, the fat pig said that we only have enough to eat for another three days." The stunned man tried to soften his words as much as possible, so as not to irritate Liang Yu, who was in a bad mood, "If it goes on like this, he is afraid of ......"
He didn't say the rest of the words, but Liang Yu naturally knew what he wanted to say, if they were all hungry, the hearts of the team would be scattered, and he didn't have to be the boss, who would care if he starved to death?
"Did I ask Erhei to find the place to go?" Rubbing his forehead, Liang Yu asked the next question, and after thinking about it, he replied: "He found a place, which is the loosest place around, only two big zombies are guarding, only there is the loosest place."
Very good. Liang Yu closed his eyes and thought, only those zombies with great strength but not very fast are easy to do, as long as you don't run into the kind of zombies with long tongues and can fly on the wall, it will be a bad thing, I have raised so many useless students, now is the time for them to repay me.
"We'll leave tomorrow morning, and you can just tell our people, and don't talk about those students."
"Okay, Brother Liang."
"Huh? Anything else? Liang Yu was stunned, as if he didn't know what to say, "Just say something." ā
"Yes, yes, Brother Liang." stunned a little nervous, "That nickname is Black Bear, do you remember the one who fights boxing all year round?" ā
Liang Yu frowned, "How could I not remember, but he desperately killed the long-tongued monster that rushed in, wasn't he scratched and locked up?" ā
"Yes, it's him, he's awake."
"Awake?" Liang Yu noticed his choice of words and woke up, instead of turning into a zombie.
"Yes, yes, yes, not only did not turn into a zombie, but." The stunned man began to hesitate again, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "He is like a superman now, when he woke up just now, his arm suddenly seemed to turn into real steel, and he directly broke the rope that tied him, fortunately, it was because he had just woken up and was unconscious, and now I let him go eat something." ā
Liang Yu was so shocked that he stood up directly, his eyes widened, "Arms turned into steel?" Are you sure? ā
"There were four brothers on the scene at the time, and it must have been true."
Liang Yu sat back in his chair, "Could it be that he is an alien?" ā
"The Adept?" The stunned couldn't help but shudder, "It's like that in the novel?" The kind that can set fire and fly? ā
"Who knows, zombies that should only be seen on movie sets are all over the streets, and I won't be surprised if aliens appear in the future." Liang Yu wasn't too scared, "Is he still the same as before?" ā
"Almost, it's just a lot more strength, and when he took a cup to drink, the black bear pinched the thermos flask with a little force, and he didn't quite adapt to the situation after waking up."
"I didn't expect it, this is also his blessing." Liang Yu was a little proud, he should have killed the black bear who was scratched by the zombie directly, but at that time, Liang Yu still couldn't do anything to the black bear who had been loyal in the past, so he tied him up instead of breaking his head like other people who were bitten and scratched.
Now the matter of going out of the city is more certain, he habitually touched the ring on his index finger, the previous black bear could easily kill two or three zombies, and now with the ability, it must be no problem to cover him alone.
O Stranger, it seems that the future of humanity is about to change again. Liang Yu sighed that the world that had become unrecognizable in just a few days, perhaps, the world had not yet reached the end.
It's just a little chaotic, and the rags that hide the cruelty of the food chain are directly lifted.
