Great Demon Leader: Start By Refining Flying Zombies

Chapter 12: Cross-World Communication

"Mysterious appearance, and then mysteriously disappearing. In this already desolate planet's surface, without any means of transportation, how did you manage to cross endless oceans and appear in another city within a year?"

Inside the underground base, a middle-aged man's face turned serious as he reported to a communication terminal on the control panel.

"Designation N7512, codenamed 'Mysterious Visitor,' has appeared near the Big Apple City. Execute emergency plan immediately!"

The communication terminal emitted a crackling sound, seemingly shocked by this news. After a moment of silence, it responded.

"Understood. Unmanned drones have been dispatched and will make contact if necessary."

"Furthermore, the target seems to be chasing a High Level virus carrier... Damn it, if that woman didn't have wings and wasn't identified as an infected individual by the base's AI, I would have thought she was just an extraordinary beauty!"

The middle-aged man transmitted satellite images, and as expected, he heard a suppressed exclamation from the other side.

"I suspect that the virus has undergone a special mutation within this High Level carrier. It might be the key to deciphering the virus. I suggest immediate containment!"

"Or, it could be used as a bargaining chip for communication with the Mysterious Visitor..."

...

Liang Xiao naturally had no knowledge of what was happening in the underground base. At this moment, he was still chasing after the Flying Yaksha.

"As expected, it's easier to catch someone on the ground than someone flying in the sky!"

Liang Xiao stopped to catch his breath. He had run for dozens of blocks, almost crossing half of the Big Apple City in a short amount of time.

Even with his body nourished by his magical powers, he was starting to feel exhausted.

Fortunately, the spiritual connection with the Flying Yaksha remained unbroken, and it was even gradually strengthening, giving him a slight sense of relief.

"No need to rush, I should recover my magical powers first."

Liang Xiao shook his head. Despite not being in the Heavenly Mist Continent at the moment, he was in a bio-crisis world of unknown distance.

However, after multiple experiments, Liang Xiao discovered that no matter which world he transmigrated to, he could actively absorb the spiritual energy from the Heavenly Mist Continent.

At most, the concentration of spiritual energy was not high enough for cultivation, but it could barely be used to replenish his magical powers.

Otherwise, if he arrived in a world without magic, Liang Xiao's cultivation would have long been useless.

How could he then create a hundred thousand Flying Zombies, an incredible feat?

"Hmm? I can still recover spiritual energy because of my transmigration ability. But strictly speaking, the Flying Yaksha, even though she hasn't cultivated yet, is already a spiritual creature!"

"She is basically unable to replenish her internal spiritual energy in this world. She can only rely on the spiritual energy she absorbed in the stadium before, as well as the spiritual energy in the Corpse Demon Pill."

"When her spiritual energy is depleted, she will undoubtedly be like a bird in a cage or a fish in a net, easily tamed!"

Liang Xiao didn't expect such a turn of events. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a pleased expression, completely putting his mind at ease.

After a while, Liang Xiao's magical powers were fully restored, and he calmly activated the Ghost Shadow Step, continuing to track the Flying Yaksha.

However, along the way, he couldn't help but feel that he was being watched by something.

Looking around, there were only scattered wandering zombies.

Often, before Liang Xiao could even touch their shadows, they had already flown away.

Although he regarded it as an illusion, he secretly became cautious.

Not long after, although Liang Xiao hadn't found the Flying Yaksha yet, he had already seen the traces left by her along the way.

Many zombies seemed to have been attacked by lions or tigers, with scattered body parts strewn about, an extremely violent scene.

After investigating, Liang Xiao discovered that these zombies hadn't been consumed in any way.

"With the current level of evolution of the Flying Yaksha, these ordinary zombies probably can't provide her with energy anymore. Only some rare mutants, with their mutated cores, can alleviate her hunger."

However, without the catalysis of spiritual energy, it was uncertain whether naturally mutated individual zombies could be found.

Liang Xiao was just guessing that it existed, even though he had been in the Big Apple City for so long and hadn't encountered anyone!

"Or just come back to Heavenly Mist Continent with me!"

Liang Xiao's mouth curled up slightly as he muttered to himself.

Just as he was thinking this, Liang Xiao suddenly felt a movement in his expression. He felt that the Flying Yaksha was just a short distance away in the nearby block.

Before he could get closer, a loud explosion came from the front, accompanied by the angry roar of the Flying Yaksha!

Liang Xiao jumped onto a nearby street lamp and looked closely. He was immediately shocked.

In the distance on the street, a black armed helicopter was hovering at low altitude.

At the window of the helicopter, a soldier in a white protective suit stuck out half of his body and aimed a sniper rifle at a certain spot, occasionally firing a bullet.

From the belly of the black helicopter, small missiles the size of an arm shot out like mad bees.

They flew into an abandoned house, and in an instant, flames ignited and a violent explosion occurred.

This was the source of the explosion that Liang Xiao had just heard.

"Armed helicopter, sniper, missiles. There are still remnants of armed forces in this biohazard world. Humanity is still on the brink of extinction!"

In just an instant, Liang Xiao understood. In this world he had entered, there were still a few surviving forces.

They might exist in the deep sea or underground bases. Although they couldn't save the already desolate world, if they were lucky enough, they might be able to sustain themselves for another hundred or two hundred years.

By that time, humanity would be completely extinct.

"The appearance of surviving human forces is a variable for me. If there are surveillance devices like satellites, then it's highly likely that I have already been exposed!"

"And judging from their sudden appearance and their intention to capture the Flying Yaksha directly, the probability is very high!"

Liang Xiao's expression changed. At first, he thought he was the only living person left in this world and acted without any scruples.

Has this world been destroyed? From a macro perspective, it had long been destroyed. The population in the underground base, the remaining reserves of resources, couldn't even support the normal survival of two generations of humans.

It was like a pile of embers that would eventually extinguish, with only a faint trace remaining.

Perhaps it was because of this that Liang Xiao's ability to transmigrate to this end-of-the-world world was located.

"The Qi Refining stage is still too weak!"

Liang Xiao sighed with a headache. These surviving armed forces and their firearms were also a deadly threat to him.

But as long as he wanted to leave, these things couldn't stop him. After all, if he gave up the Flying Yaksha and returned directly, no one could do anything to him.

"Do you want to retreat?"

Just as Liang Xiao was having second thoughts, a sophisticated drone flew in front of him from the clouds above.

Looking at the thing in front of him, Liang Xiao chuckled lightly, somewhat enlightened. It turned out that the feeling of being monitored that he had been feeling all along came from it.

"Please don't leave in a hurry, mysterious sir. We mean no harm!"

A middle-aged man's voice came from the drone's speaker, saying this sentence in several different languages.

Because this world seemed to be a parallel world to Liang Xiao's previous life on Blue Star, the languages were roughly the same.

The first sentence expressed goodwill, asking Liang Xiao not to leave?

Sure enough, when he transmigrated experimentally last time, he was also caught by these surviving forces.

The other party was sure that he had some kind of special moving ability.

As for whether they had guessed this so-called moving ability, whether it was transmigrating to another world, it was still uncertain.

After a moment of silence, Liang Xiao chose to respond in one of the languages he commonly used, saying, "Your world has already been destroyed. Why don't you enjoy the last moments peacefully?"

This time, the drone fell into a long silence.
