Mage Adam

The second-generation virus allows the infected body to master the energy of secondary elements, which is a huge leap forward compared to the first-generation virus, but the third-generation virus in Adam's imagination will not produce this qualitative change, but will make everyone Infected bodies have value, both 'in life' and 'after death'.

The current infected body has the ability to eat the corpses of other infected bodies to replenish its own physical strength, which is the ability derived from the creatures of the abyss. A truly complete abyssal creature can devour all energy to promote its own evolution. Adam's current ability can't restore it, but he can amplify the most superficial form of this ability.

This research is what Adam will complete next-the mutual phagocytosis between infectious virus.

If the third-generation virus research is successful, it means that the evolution of the virus has changed from Adam's full control to the uncontrollable autonomous evolution of the virus, which means that Adam does not know what the infection will look like next.

Only one thing is certain, the final result of this disordered evolution must be self-destruction.

Because when Adam's eyes and ears spread throughout the entire island of Ceylon, he found that although the virus can be transmitted through the air, the scope of its spread is limited to the island, and none of the countless lives in the sea is infected. Obviously, the fifth element holy tower will not allow This virus spreads indefinitely, that is to say, the number of infected bodies is saturated now, and no new organisms will be infected, so when the virus starts to swallow itself, the number will only decrease.

But this is indifferent. The knowledge of developing viruses has been mastered, and the consumption of these infected bodies is not in Adam's consideration.

five days later.

Outside the island of Ceylon, in the war trial headquarters hidden in the folds of space, the mages from the holy tower of the fifth element feel a headache.

"This apprentice named Adam, what should we do with it?" A male mage asked, pointing to one of the more than a thousand light curtains suspended below that showed Adam.

A female mage knocked on the table and said: "He didn't violate the rules, all the merits he got are valid, but..."

"But he broke the order of the trial, look at these things," the first mage waved his hand, and after the light curtain changed, it showed infected bodies all over the mountains and plains. "Trials have become no difficulty for him, not only that, we can't even release special tasks, and those key locations that are dangerous to apprentices are filled with these infected bodies." Destroyed."

The female mage sighed: "If this continues, this class will become the class with the fewest apprentices who have passed the trial. I suspect that there may be less than fifty apprentices."

The light curtain changed again, and this time it showed the image of the large open space outside Adam's laboratory. The mage pointed to the infected body that moved the metal block like ants moving a house and said, "Fifty? You all know about Adam's information. Right? Remember that magic called the Railgun?"

The faces of the mages couldn't help but look ugly, the light curtains were constantly changing under their control, the anti-mages were driven away, the apprentices were chasing them intentionally or unintentionally, the final destination in the deduction, and the magic circle and metal blocks prepared by Adam were captured by them. linked together.

"He's going to..."

———

During the five days, the battle between the Anti-Mage, the trial apprentices, and the infected body entered a fierce stage. Since the battle that destroyed the three major families of Hill, Lance and Orm was destroyed by the infected body, all apprentices saw the infected body There is only one countermeasure, and that is to kill.

But there are too many infected bodies. Every time they fight against the anti-mage, they will be watched by countless infected bodies, which makes them unable to preserve their strength. Most of the apprentices who suppressed promotion have become official mages.

"Lilith, if you continue to follow this route,

Where will the final destination be? "These elites are not idiots. They have already discovered that the infected body is guiding them, but they have no way to break the situation. This feeling of being led by the nose makes everyone angry.

Lilith spread out a map, which was full of arrows. She picked up a pen and drew a circle to the left of the center of Ceylon Island: "Sacred Meteor Basin, if there is no accident, it is here."

The War Alliance has been struggling recently, and their credibility is rapidly declining day by day. The trial apprentices outside the alliance are very dissatisfied with the efficiency of the alliance.

They have reasons to be dissatisfied: at the beginning, you asked everyone to join, unified command and unified action, and promised to maximize the results of the battle and let more people pass the trial. Well, we believed it, but now, except for your alliance Apart from the meritorious service earned by a few of you, we haven't seen anything. If we knew this earlier, instead of cooperating with you, we might as well go out and try our luck by ourselves.

Therefore, Lilith and the top leaders of the War Alliance urgently need a big victory to stabilize the morale of the army, and at least let some people see real merit points.

"We can't be led away." Lilith said firmly.

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and then someone raised doubts: "Our people go around to spy on information, but every time the main combat personnel arrive, they will find that the anti-mage has escaped. As long as the infected body still exists, we have no way not to be attacked. Take it away."

"That's right, but those things can't be killed at all."

Lilith was silent for a while, and then asked to the side: "Reinhardt, how are you doing?"

"These infected bodies seem to be mining and collecting metal materials. They are very cautious, and they will self-destruct when they find someone spying on them. We have too few people to complete all-round tracking, but," Reinhardt pulled the map and stretched Take a shot, spread out your five fingers and press in one place: "They will all flow to this area in the end."

"This is the intersection of the Hill family, the Lance family, and the Eternal Life School."

"Yes, a huge wasteland, without any supplies, without a town."

Lilith was thoughtful: "That's why it's more suitable for hiding, isn't it?"

The rest of the members who listened suspiciously to the conversation between the two suddenly realized, and then they were all furious: "You mean, the man behind the scenes is hiding here?"

They hated this man very much. Although he didn't use the infected body to kill even one of them, the feeling of being played and applauded in terms of IQ was more uncomfortable than killing them.

Lilith nodded: "If there is no accident, this is here. It seems that before the decisive battle with the Anti-Mage, we must first solve this problem..."
