472: Savior Project

"System, what is this?"

Nie Fangping asked the System when he didn't understand.

Obviously, in his perception, the System must be an omniscient and omnipotent existence.

Just saving him from the nuclear explosion, this alone kept him in shock.

"Pathogen source, something the Zombie Civilization uses to mislead the research direction of the Human Civilization."

"The Host can use this to upgrade the creation template."

Ye Tian directly explained its use.

"Zombie Civilization? Upgrade creation template?"

The System's two sentences revealed a lot of information to Nie Fangping.

Among them, what caught his attention the most was the Zombie Civilization.

Civilization.

It is impossible for the infected Zombies to be called a Civilization.

Could it be a Civilization evolved from mutated Zombies?

Nie Fangping pondered for a moment.

Afterward, he turned his attention back to the original purpose of this Pathogen source.

It can upgrade creation templates.

The System's words were easy to understand.

Take the Blade Worm he can currently create as an example.

If this source were invested in the Blade Worm, this type of bug could be enhanced.

The bugs of this type created in the future would definitely be stronger than the current Blade Worm.

This enhancement.

It's nothing for a single Blade Worm.

But if it were to spread out and cover millions of Blade Worms, that would be a terrifying enhancement!

However, is this thing only used to enhance the Blade Worm?

Although it can indeed give the Blade Worm an enhancement, raising his controllable attack ability by one level.

But it seems... there are better template choices.

Nie Fangping looked at the remaining Armor Worm, Swarm Larva, Nest Building Bugs, Tool Worm, and human body shells.

After considering, he didn't use it directly.

This thing can only upgrade one template, so he needs to be cautious.

After all, he doesn't know if there will be such giant Zombies in the future or if he can obtain other Pathogen sources.

A few hours later, as the last of the bones were completely devoured, Nie Fangping glanced at the System panel.

The original fifty thousand points had now become one hundred thousand.

This doesn't even include the consumption to resist radiation and these forty thousand Swarm Larvae.

It has to be said, this giant Zombie contained a lot of biological energy.

But compared to energy, what is clearly more precious is the Pathogen source held by the Tool Worm behind him.

Bringing more than ten Tool Worms, Nie Fangping flew towards the outside of the radiation zone.

Midway, after seeing a certain area, his gaze paused slightly.

That was Nie Xiaoqiao's grave.

At this time, under the nuclear explosion, it had become a scorched earth.

...

After some time.

Nie Fangping landed on a lush green tree.

As some moonlight shone down, looking into the distance, it was a dark and heavy radiation cloud.

"Pathogen source, something the Zombie Civilization uses to mislead the research direction of the Human Civilization."

The words the System had said before echoed in his mind, and Nie Fangping fell into deep thought.

The few words given by the System, the information within, combined with the nuclear explosion in the distance, allowed for many inferences.

Since that Pathogen source was a scheme by the Zombie Civilization against Humans.

That is to say, that giant Zombie was the property of the Zombie Civilization.

And that nuclear bomb... was actually Humans' attack on the Zombie Civilization's property.

The confrontation between the two Civilizations, in the open and in the shadows, had already begun.

"Zombie Civilization, Human Civilization... Are there other Civilizations in this World?"

Nie Fangping thought of this point and came back to his senses: "What is certain is that there is also the Bug Civilization."

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

Below the tree.

Thousands of Blade Worms and Armor Worms flew out from the bug nest mycelium.

A swarm of one to two thousand bugs would have no problem escorting him near the Yishan Base.

He needed to know more information through Humans.

To plan for the future development of the Bug Civilization.

...

Just as the sky was getting light.

Lying on the back of a Tool Worm on the road, Nie Fangping woke up.

It wasn't a natural awakening.

But was woken up by the Tool Worm's reminder.

Standing on the back of the Tool Worm, in the mist behind Nie Fangping, was a group of Armor Worms and Blade Worms that seemed to be flying randomly but were actually following closely to escort him.

After being woken up by the Tool Worm, Nie Fangping looked towards the distant horizon.

There was a fleet of planes!

Looking at the models, they should be a fleet from the United States.

And their direction... was Rong City, which had been destroyed by the nuclear bomb!

Nie Fangping was just a bug now and didn't attract the attention of the fleet at all.

Generally speaking, everyone avoids nuclear explosion areas.

Flying there like this clearly had a purpose.

What purpose?

Nie Fangping could roughly guess that it was that giant Zombie.

In that place, only that Zombie was still relatively intact, not destroyed.

But now...

He was fortunate that the radiation cloud blocked subsequent satellite detection.

No one knew yet that he had already taken the greatest treasure into his possession.

But from another perspective.

After he took the Pathogen source, he also prevented Humans from falling into the Zombie Civilization's trap.

Thinking about it this way, he had helped those people.

After the fleet in the sky quickly flew past, Nie Fangping lay down again and ordered the Tool Worm to continue on its way.

Not long after.

Nie Fangping saw another fleet of planes heading towards Rong City.

The direction the planes came from was the Yishan Base.

They were all for that corpse.

...

Yishan Base.

General Yang saw the few planes the base had escort Zhao Ling and the evolutionaries leave, put away his worried mood, and walked towards his residence.

And on the way.

His daughter, Yang Qianqian, arrived with a face full of anger.

"Why did you send Zhao Ling to do such a dangerous mission?!"

"He is my Savior, how could you treat him like this?!"

Yang Qianqian shouted at her Father, General Yang, with a stubborn look.

Some people around looked over.

Seeing that it was General Yang's family matter, they all pretended not to hear anything and quickly walked away.

And facing the questioning from his daughter Yang Qianqian, who hadn't grown up at all in her thinking, the White-Haired Old Man sighed lightly: "Qianqian, I am giving Zhao Ling a chance to prove himself."

"As long as Zhao Ling successfully brings back the corpse of the No. 3 Pathogen this time, I can use this to recommend him as the Savior!"

"The end of the World is far from over just by eliminating ordinary Zombies, we need a Savior."

"Savior plan?" Yang Qianqian thought of something, her expression stunned.

She knew what recommending Zhao Ling as the Savior meant.

It was one of the most insane plans Humans had come up with so far.

Among the Humans who survived on Earth today, four people would be selected.

Then, all resources would be poured onto them.

Turning the four into the strongest humanoid machines.

The purpose was to decapitate the Pathogen!

Yang Qianqian had previously been puzzled and asked her Father, General Yang, that with nuclear weapons, it should be possible to eliminate those Pathogens.

But the answer she got was.

The global nuclear arsenal was targeted and attacked by the Pathogen from the very beginning!

They knew what could limit them, so they naturally wouldn't give Humans the chance to retain nuclear weapons.

Currently, there are less than twenty nuclear weapons in the entire World!

Among them, nearly half do not have carriers or launchers.

In such a stretched situation, the Savior plan has reached a point where it must be implemented!
