Chapter 421: 154: The New Quasi-Immortal! Cultivation Skyrockets (Ten Thousand Word Chapter!) _5
“It’s very troublesome.”
Wang Ping’s face was solemn as he recounted the situation.
“Uh….”
Everyone fell silent after listening.
They couldn’t eliminate the anomaly nor complete the Group Task even after killing all humans.
This indicated that the anomaly had not possessed humans.
“The anomaly should have possessed other living organisms. Based on past experiences, the anomaly hasn’t possessed ordinary animals before, but that doesn’t mean it can’t.”
Chen Yao said in a deep voice.
“I think it’s more likely that the anomalous beings have possessed the mutated beasts. The objects of possession are often intelligent life forms. Humans are intelligent, and demons are intelligent too, so they can both be possessed. As for other species, I doubt they can bear its existence.”
Wang Ping pondered for a moment before speaking up.
“Otherwise, it would be safer for the anomaly to possess some animals, and we would find it even more challenging to locate.”
“But are zombies and mutated beasts intelligent life forms?”
Qin Tian retorted.
“Zombies are actually intelligent life forms… As I mentioned before, they have evolved intelligence and have even begun to establish a primitive civilization, a zombie civilization…”
Zhang Jun said with an odd look on his face.
“What about mutated beasts? According to the investigation, mutated beasts shouldn’t possess intelligence.”
Zhang Yueying quietly chimed in.
“No, whether they are zombies or mutated beasts, they are all species derived from human genes. It is normal for the anomaly to possess them.”
Wang Ping shook his head and spoke out.
After hearing this, Zhang Yueying found it reasonable and had nothing more to say.
“But, Mr. Wang, if the anomaly really possesses mutated beasts, then it’s going to be a big problem. After all, mutated beasts are endless.”
Cai Yonglong frowned and said helplessly.
“On the entire Earth, there are countless mutated beasts on land and even more so in the oceans. If we want to find and kill it, our only option would be to resort to the ‘Great Cleaning’ method and cleanse the surface of the Earth.”
“It’s not that simple… Some mutated beasts might be hiding among the humans of the survival bases or underground.”
Zhang Jun fell silent for a moment before speaking.
“Can’t we use some Secret Skill to find it? If we had a search-type Secret Skill when dealing with the zombie anomaly, we could have found it easily.”
Cai Yonglong looked at Wang Ping, attempting to suggest.
Although he had the inheritance of the white-haired old man and similar Secret Skills, he had not yet mastered them.
On the other hand, Wang Ping had the Life Simulator and had even joined the Heavenly Sword Divine Land, so he might have access to the Holy Land’s Secret Skills.
“It probably won’t work.”
Wang Ping shook his head.
If it were possible, simulator Wang Ping would have done it long ago.
However, he still chose the most brute-force method to find the anomaly, which means this method is not feasible.
“I see.”
Cai Yonglong felt slightly headache-inducing.
What to do now?
The virus is terrifying, and there’s no solution to it.
“I’ll try again.”
Wang Ping shook his head and spoke.
Before coming to this world, he had prepared in advance by isolating all outer world influences with energy.
Even so, the Life Simulator was still infected.
This indicates that the virus is simply unstoppable.
If they don’t find and kill their opponent, it’s an unsolvable situation.
“We have no other option.”
Cai Yonglong and the others looked at each other and reluctantly nodded.
Next, Wang Ping closed his eyes again and said in his mind, “System, I want to proceed with a free simulation.”
“Ding, Life Simulator activated, free simulation begins.”
The familiar system voice sounded again, with the luminescent screen appearing and the text emerging.
[Day One, after discussing, you didn’t take any actions and just waited quietly, wanting to see the future development of this world.]
[During the wait, you also integrated into the survival bases of this world. You saw many dark things. The world was very distorted. Children who were born infected with the JY Virus were extremely powerful fighters against mutated beasts, yet they were deemed as monsters by humans and severely discriminated against, calling them mutated humans.]
[However, humans couldn’t live without their protection. You sighed in your heart, knowing that these children were just too young, none of them older than ten, without their own thoughts. The ordinary humans didn’t allow them to have their own thoughts, so they could train them into ‘warriors’ and exploit them to the fullest.]
[Ordinary mutated children without combat capabilities could only wander and beg to survive, unable to even fill their stomachs. Once their identities were exposed, they would be bullied, and even their parents would despise them.]
[This world was extremely distorted and dark, with many people filled with numbness. Hopelessness and violence filled their hearts, and they believed that humans would not be able to survive forever, sooner or later to be wiped out by the mutated beasts. Therefore, the extinction of humanity was widely accepted.]
[Half a year later, a unique mutated beast appeared, destroying the ‘barrier’ made of special metal, and a large number of mutated beasts rushed into the survival base, turning it into a purgatory. Humans either were eaten by mutated beasts or were infected and turned into mutated beasts.]
