496: Fighting, rocket launch

At this moment, the information regarding the Pathogen's appearance reached the high-level officials of various countries in less than half a minute.

"The Pathogen has appeared again after more than two months!"

"It's Pathogen No. 7, and it's with Fang Ping!"

After the key information was clarified, a sense of solemnity fell over the various countries.

"Should we initiate a nuclear strike? We've finally located the Pathogen."

In front of the high-level officials of each country were live feeds from the rocket base.

The one who proposed the nuclear strike was a White-Haired Old Man with a hooked nose.

After a brief silence following his suggestion, a high-level official wearing reading glasses slightly shook his head: "Fang Ping, one of the Saviors, is still there. Under a nuclear strike, he wouldn't be spared."

"But even if we don't deploy nuclear weapons, Fang Ping will definitely die at the hands of the Pathogen!" the White-Haired Old Man with the hooked nose said bluntly.

He then added: "The Pathogen clearly came for Fang Ping. By the time it kills Fang Ping, it will be too late for us to make a decision!"

"He is one of the Saviors!" the high-level official with reading glasses raised his voice slightly: "The Savior we chose to fight against the Pathogen! Are you now suggesting he be used as bait to attract the Pathogen and be consumed?!"

"Hmph, does this guy look like a Savior at all?" the White-Haired Old Man with the hooked nose said with disdain: "Wasting a lot of time on meaningless things, it's simply reckless!"

"Helping us attract the Pathogen and waiting for the nuclear strike to arrive is the greatest display of his value!"

"Otherwise, after the Pathogen kills him, it will run away again, and the next time it appears, it will be to attack our Human bases!"

"Haven't you personally experienced that kind of consequence in the early days of the apocalypse?!"

As the White-Haired Old Man with the hooked nose said this, he added: "We elected the Savior specifically to deal with the Pathogen."

"Letting him attract the Pathogen's attention and waiting for the nuclear strike to arrive, isn't this a manifestation of his value? Under the Pathogen's targeting, he wouldn't be able to survive anyway."

The White-Haired Old Man's words were very cruel.

However, it was precisely after laying out these cruel and realistic words that the high-level officials of various countries fell into a slight silence.

"Let's vote to decide," a White-Haired Old Man among the high-level officials of various countries said coldly and in a low voice: "If another half a year passed, I believe the Savior would have the strength to fight against the Pathogen, but now, I also support a nuclear strike."

...

Rocket Launch Base.

The moment the Pathogen appeared in the Sky.

Countless people, like mice seeing a cat, frantically fled to places they considered safe.

However, there was one person who stepped onto the overgrown land, slowly walking to the front of the Pathogen's view, on a vast, empty expanse!

"It's Fang Ping! Savior Fang Ping!"

The originally panicked crowd slightly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Nie Fangping's figure.

Although during this time, everyone's disappointment in his actions had reached its peak.

But it was undeniable that his strength was still extremely powerful.

Among the evolvers, he was undoubtedly in the first echelon!

"Can he stop the Pathogen?"

"He should be able to, right? Savior Fang Ping once single-handedly annihilated the Zombies of the entire Bear City!"

Towards their hope, people always used the most expectant and tolerant words.

"Roar!!"

In the Sky, the standing Pathogen suddenly stirred up a violent hurricane, shooting out with a roar, approaching Nie Fangping!

Indeed, this Pathogen came for Fang Ping!

In an instant, people's eyes immediately focused on Nie Fangping.

Just as everyone expected, that A Man made his move. He placed the bamboo flute in his hand to his lips.

"Woo~"

The sound of the flute instantly erupted!

It erupted from the thousands of speakers behind that A Man.

Like the Earth's roar towards the Sky, the flute sound, which should have been melodious, at this moment, due to the extremely grand sound, caused the eardrums of everyone around to vibrate with pain!

And the moment this sound was transmitted, a large area of sound that made people's hair stand on end appeared in everyone's ears...

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Under the dense numbers, the seemingly ordinary sound of insect wings flapping, like a meteor colliding with the Earth, the roaring sound of the pressure coming down, gave people an extreme chill!

People on the ground, sensing something, looked up at the Sky.

They could see.

One by one, white insects, like ten-thousand-meter clouds that had been torn apart and crumbled.

Drifting leisurely, they poured down towards the Earth!

A swarm of snow-white insects, like a cold razor!

"So... So many insects!"

"Are these all summoned by Savior Fang Ping?!"

Compared to the appearance of the Pathogen.

This swarm of insects, like stars filling the Sky, was what truly embodied the word 'shock' to the fullest!

"Woo woo woo~"

The subsequent flute sounds were powerfully emitted from those thousands of speakers!

The swarm of insects filling the Sky instantly transformed into a snow-white river of space, like silk fabric, wrapping and enveloping the Pathogen!

"So those speakers were used to control the insect swarm!"

"Is this Savior Fang Ping's method?! He's directly confronting the Pathogen!"

"Roar!"

The sudden appearance of such a number of insect swarms, even the Pathogen was momentarily taken aback.

However, it then vibrated its wings with a roar, and swooped down towards the rocket base in the distance!

The Pathogen's ultimate goal was the rocket being prepared for launch!

"Dong!"

A wave of air suddenly exploded.

The shield formed by tens of millions of Armor Worms, like a Miracle building, directly blocked the Pathogen's path, forcing it to retreat hundreds of meters!

Nie Fangping watched this scene calmly.

After hearing the conversation between those two women yesterday, he understood.

This Pathogen had no intention of killing him.

Compared to killing him, destroying this rocket that had taken two months to build, in the eyes of the Zombie Civilization, was the primary mission.

They wanted to force him onto the path of accepting Gene Serum.

The concentration of global resources on researching Gene Serum was the situation the Zombie Civilization was most eager to see.

"The rocket will be destroyed, but not now."

Nie Fangping muttered to himself, without hesitation, as his thoughts moved, some human bodies planted in the base began to arrive at the control room.

To ignite and launch the rocket!

"Boom!"

The ignited rocket, shooting out a strong crimson tail flame, slowly ascended.

The initial ascent was stable, and all subsequent data was also good.

"Boom boom boom!"

Like an angry Dragon rising from the Earth, as countless fuels burned furiously, the rocket flew straight towards the higher Sky.

Distinct white smoke clouds were born as the crimson tail flame swept across the Sky, like white vertical lines written with a red pen, left on the vast canvas of the Sky, simple yet a deep shock.

The Pathogen, blocked a thousand meters away by the Armor Worms, withdrew its gaze from the flying rocket and turned to look at the A Man in front of it.

He had launched the rocket.

His plan had succeeded.

Even if this plan, in the eyes of the Zombie Civilization, was a meaningless plan.

But it was undeniable that he had still succeeded.

The joy of success would make Humanity, this carbon-based life form, more confident and more determined in his future path.

It was already impossible to guide him to use resources on researching Gene Serum.

Since that was the case, this Human could not be allowed to live on.

Only by killing the opponent could they prevent resources from being continuously used by him.

The moment the thought fell, the Pathogen suddenly attacked Nie Fangping!

This time, with absolute bloodthirst and killing intent!
