508: Poisoning Zhao Ling

Over two months passed in a flash.

Since the prohibition of Gene Serum and the knowledge of the Zombie Civilization's impending arrival, the entire Human World had been permeated and enveloped by a heavy atmosphere.

In people's eyes, there was confusion and bitterness.

Even more so, there was a suppressed resentment!

Their lives were so free and easy before, why, why after Mr. Zhao Ling became the leader, did each of them live like heavy, struggling worms?!

Treatment for those injected with Gene Serum?

All sorts of information channels circulating privately were spreading the Hospital's treatment methods for such patients.

Directly injecting you with antitoxin!

This medicine was something researched years ago.

It also had another name, called Zombie Virus Serum!

It was originally a semi-finished product!

Now, after a few days of rough refinement, it was directly put into use.

Everyone who was injected, at best, got sick and was left with incurable sequelae.

At worst, they were bedridden, or even died!

This blatant murder was actually supported and promoted by Mr. Zhao Ling, this leader!

Upon digging deeper, everyone also learned that Mr. Zhao Ling had killed Abner, forcing the Gene Alliance to do these inhumane things!

All the suffering they were experiencing today was orchestrated by Mr. Zhao Ling!

No matter how much the World Federation Organization 'whitewashed' Mr. Zhao Ling on the news, it couldn't shake the thoughts in people's hearts, within which, who knows how much hatred for him was hidden!

In a house, a group of people gathered together.

These people's faces were filled with strong hatred and gloomy negative emotions.

"Mr. Zhao Ling will appear in Victory City today, but it's too heavily guarded, we still can't find an opportunity to kill him!"

"Damn it!" Another person next to him pounded the table in resentment: "Why does this tyrant have the face to live! Doesn't he see how many people have died because of his decisions?!"

"This stubborn guy must die! Is non-combat between civilizations impossible? We could clearly negotiate with the Zombie Civilization, make friends, or even become their vassals, and our lives wouldn't be any harder than they are now!"

"My brother received his so-called treatment and died yesterday!"

"My mother too! If I have a chance, I'll drag him to Hell even if I die!"

Among the crowd, angry voices rose one after another.

"How about I try?" Among the crowd, a woman slowly raised her hand and said.

"I work in the kitchen of the Savior Organization, and the food Mr. Zhao Ling eats passes through my hands."

"You?" Everyone's eyes immediately focused on this woman.

"Won't that be very dangerous?" a young man in the crowd asked with hesitation.

The woman, however, shook her head with a confident expression and said: "Don't worry about me, I'm a nutritionist, and the food I prepare won't let anyone detect the poison at all!"

"Moreover, for the future of Humans, to end Mr. Zhao Ling's tyranny, even if I sacrifice myself, I have no fear!"

"Good! Well said!"

"We, the righteous, will surely defeat Mr. Zhao Ling and stop him from slaughtering our fellow Humans!"

...

Victory City.

World Organization Base.

In front of Mr. Zhao Ling were strategic maps.

Over these past two months, with the nuclear arsenal operating at full capacity, the number of warheads had surged from single digits to two thousand three hundred!

One by one, shelters were also built, beginning to take shape.

Enough to encompass 60% of the World's population!

In fact, what Mr. Zhao Ling cared about most was the research into interstellar spacecraft.

Years ago, he had proposed this idea.

The strength of the Zombie Civilization was far from as simple as people imagined.

Only by researching spacecraft capable of interstellar travel could they escape this star system and sow the seeds of Humans into the Universe!

However, after this proposal emerged back then, the Gene Serum just happened to achieve a significant Breakthrough.

Everyone felt that they, Humans, could completely forge a myth on the path of Gene Serum!

At that time, they could completely crush the Zombie Civilization!

Therefore, Mr. Zhao Ling's proposal became a classic example of something to be ridiculed.

But now...

There was no time to start research on interstellar spacecraft.

Only by overcoming the current hurdle and buying the remaining seventy years for Humans could they guide everyone to research spacecraft.

But this hurdle... could they overcome it?

Mr. Zhao Ling had no confidence whatsoever.

The observers at the space station could still observe the approaching object from space three days ago.

But these three days, they hadn't observed anything at all.

It was as if the thing sent by the Zombie Civilization had suddenly disappeared.

Only Mr. Zhao Ling understood that the second wave of attack had already arrived among them, Humans!

Perhaps in the next moment, the opponent would directly launch an attack aimed at annihilation!

He then glanced at the report brought by his Assistant next to him, which recorded public grievances and reactions.

Injecting Virus Serum into gene evolvers had a mortality rate of 20%!

Mr. Zhao Ling knew the public would definitely have this reaction, and this was also the hidden danger brought about by his use of force and various strong-arm tactics.

However, at present, he only had such strong-arm tactics left.

There was truly no time left for him to do ideological work on these people!

"Knock knock~"

Outside the door, knocking sounds emerged.

"Come in."

After the words fell, a woman carrying a meal box walked in: "Mr. Zhao Ling, it's time to eat."

"Okay, put it aside," Mr. Zhao Ling gestured towards the side.

...

Wu Ai, who was already over fifty years old, was still Mr. Zhao Ling's Assistant.

Just now, through the eyes he had placed around Mr. Zhao Ling to protect his safety, she discovered that the nutritionist who delivered the meal carried an inappropriate sense of nervousness.

"Damn it!"

Thinking of something, Wu Ai quickly arrived at Mr. Zhao Ling's room and pushed open his office door.

The sudden intrusion startled the nutritionist.

And on the desk, Mr. Zhao Ling, who was chewing his tasteless food, also raised an eyebrow and looked over.

"Bang!"

Wu Ai grabbed the woman's collar and directly pressed her onto the table: "Did you poison Mr. Zhao Ling?!"

Having been by Mr. Zhao Ling's side for so many years, her Aura was also quite intimidating.

Under such a gaze, the nutritionist, who was already nervous and apprehensive, was so frightened she dared not speak.

Seeing this situation, Wu Ai understood immediately, violently flung the woman aside, and pulled Mr. Zhao Ling's hand, saying: "Mr. Zhao Ling, we must go to the Hospital immediately!"

"No need," Mr. Zhao Ling shook his head, not caring at all: "This little bit of poison won't have any effect on me."

"Mr. Zhao Ling, you... you knew the food was poisoned? And you still ate it?!" The woman hadn't expected things to be this way.

However, hearing Mr. Zhao Ling say he was fine, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just consider it the public's punishment for me, I accept," After saying that, Mr. Zhao Ling took another bite of the food.

"Demon, you demon!" The woman who had been pushed to the ground shouted nervously and fearfully: "What we hope for is for you to die, for you to die!"

"Do you know how many people you've killed! My younger brother was killed by you!"

Facing the woman's roar, Mr. Zhao Ling chewed his food without any emotion: "When a tumor is removed, it will definitely hurt for a while."

After speaking, Mr. Zhao Ling seemed to sense something and looked outside the City, slowing down his chewing.

"You said you want me to die, and it might just come true..."
