Karl had already circled the Earth once, visiting several biopharmaceutical companies in turn; using Super Vision to penetrate firewalls, quarantine zones, and underground laboratories, he examined thirty-two encrypted research files and residual data from four sets of experimental samples.
After piecing the fragments together, the outline of the whole affair became clear several competing biological companies were conducting some kind of experiment to enhance human physical function, and the virus strain at one of them had undergone an unexpected mutation.
And then, there was no then…
“I remember the original work of this World, it seems it was left unfinished because the author passed away… I’ve only seen the anime and fanfiction.”
Come to think of it, most Infinite Flow novels choose to use this World as a beginner’s level…At this moment, Karl stood on the roof of an empty high-rise, looking down at the ant-sized pedestrians below, talking to himself.
Karl rested his hands on the railing, a question completely unrelated to the peaceful scene before him flashing through his mind:Can things like zombies really get past humanity’s thermal weapons and regular military?Karl put a question mark in his heart.
If deduced according to the military level of the World before he transmigrated, targets like zombies slow moving, lacking tactics, unable to use cover would be sitting ducks in front of organized automatic firepower.
But after thinking about it, every World has its own logic…Karl recalled his own World again; when he and the alien invaders were bombarding each other above Earth, the human military hadn’t been idle either.They fired at both sides simultaneously; they had to fight the aliens, and they had to fight Ultraman too.
He had caught nuclear bombs several times, and once, he had deliberately placed a complete nuclear warhead in front of a certain President.
Choosing to turn dark after being betrayed by humanity?
No, humanity had never chosen him…
He had been a monster in their eyes from the very beginning, so what was there to talk about betrayal…
But it didn’t matter; although his body was Kryptonian, Karl felt that he was still human…Karl shook his head, shaking these random thoughts out of his mind.
The next second, he vanished from the rooftop.He entered a sterile laboratory, a university virus research center, and two cold storage facilities containing experimental samples in turn.Every time he entered a place, he would first read the data, then extract samples, and perform real-time analysis using the portable device he carried with him.
The entire process took less than fifteen minutes.When he appeared again, he had an extra sealed glass test tube in his hand, with transparent liquid sloshing slightly inside.
“Next, it’s acting time.”
Karl looked at the antiviral serum he had synthesized in a short time using Super Intelligence in the test tube, talking to himself.He put the test tube into his pocket and began to seriously consider a problem.
He could easily travel all over the World, using his Super Speed and freezing breath to freeze all the zombies at extreme speed, thereby ending this disaster as quickly as possible.
But was this really the best way?He couldn’t stay in this World forever; if humanity placed all their hope on an alien who fell from the sky, once he left, they wouldn’t even have the strength to stand up when the next disaster came.Facing disaster, humanity should learn to unite on their own, rather than kneeling down to beg the gods…
He glanced at his reflection in the glass curtain wall nearby wearing glasses, dressed in a white shirt, looking like an ordinary reporter.
“So, let’s give the serum to the relevant people or organizations capable of handling it first…”
Komuro Takashi was skipping class again.He lay on the railing of the top floor of the teaching building, his chin resting on his arms, his face full of despair. This chapter was copied from novelping.com without permission.
His childhood sweetheart, Miyamoto Rei, had chosen his best friend Igou Hisashi; at this moment, his mind was full of this matter, and even the clouds in the sky seemed to be mocking him.
Then he heard the sound of metal being struck.”Clang—clang—clang—”Rhythmic, dull, as if someone were using their body to ram into something.Komuro Takashi looked in the direction of the sound; there was a person standing at the school gate, constantly ramming into the iron gate.
The movements were stiff, repetitive, and the head was tilted at an eerie angle.
This commotion quickly attracted the attention of two PE teachers and a female teacher on the playground.They looked at each other and walked toward the school gate, obviously wanting to stop this guy who was disrupting school order.One PE teacher had already placed his hand on the door bolt, preparing to open the gate and go out.
“Don’t go near him!”
A voice came from outside the school gate, “He is dangerous!”
The PE teacher’s hand stopped.
He looked up and saw a tall man standing not far away, wearing glasses, with a serious expression.
The person ramming the iron gate heard the sound and turned around abruptly, their neck swinging in an unnatural arc as if it had no skeletal support.Both eyeballs were completely white, the mouth opened to an extent impossible for a normal human, and it lunged towards the tall man, stumbling.
“What is this!”
The female teacher screamed from inside the school gate.
The two PE teachers instinctively took a step back, their faces turning pale instantly.The tall man Karl quickly sidestepped to avoid the zombie’s lunge and bite, his hands precisely gripping its shoulders and the back of its neck, using the leverage to press it down onto the ground.
The zombie struggled violently beneath him, its teeth snapping in the air with a clicking sound, but its body remained motionless as if nailed to the ground with steel spikes.
“Hey! Are you okay?”
A PE teacher shouted from across the iron gate.
“I’m fine.”
Karl’s voice was steady.
“Behind you! Watch out behind you!”
The PE teacher’s voice suddenly turned into a shriek.On the street outside the school gate, five or six figures, also with tilted heads and making hoarse guttural sounds, were approaching; their footsteps were dragging but their goal was clear.
They had been attracted by the sound.The female teacher’s voice was trembling:
“Don’t worry about me,”
Karl said, pressing down on the zombie beneath him without looking back, “Go notify everyone quickly! These people seem to have been infected with a zombie virus like in the movies, and they will go around biting other people!”
One PE teacher’s pupils constricted violently.
He understood the word zombie.He turned and ran, sprinting toward the teaching building, shouting back as he ran: “I’m going to notify everyone!”The remaining two people hadn’t yet reacted, but Karl had already completed the action design in his mind.
He released his hold, stepped back quickly to put distance between himself and the zombie, while simultaneously scanning the five newly approaching ones with his peripheral vision.Seven zombies, an empty street, no audience oh wait, there were two inside the school gate, the script was set.
Then the iron gate opened?!”Hey!
Hurry in!”
The PE teacher who had stayed behind actually opened a crack in the iron gate and shouted at him, his voice full of fear, his hands trembling, yet he still opened the gate.Karl was stunned.
How could someone be so stupid?
Wasn’t this just asking for death?Before Karl could complain, a zombie had already lunged in front of him.
He grabbed the zombie’s shoulders with both hands, maintaining a safe distance, and could only shout loudly: “Don’t worry about me! Hurry up and close the gate!”
The PE teacher was jolted into clarity by this shout, scrambling to close the gate.
Just as the gate was about to close, a figure flashed past his side.”Excuse me, please let me pass.”
A girl’s voice, calm, steady.Saeko flashed out through the gap in the gate.The PE teacher was completely dumbfounded:
“Hey! Student! What are you doing!”
Komuro Takashi lay on the rooftop, watching this surreal scene below, his mouth opening and closing, his brain completely crashed.
Zombies, fighting, a senior student rushing out of the school gate this information was too dense and chaotic; he could only squeeze out one sentence: “What… exactly are these? What happened? That…”Saeko ignored the shouting behind her.
She unwrapped the cloth strip she had been holding layer by layer, revealing the sword inside.
The sound of it being unsheathed was crisp and clean, and the blade reflected a cold light in the sunlight.
The iron gate slammed shut behind her.Karl looked at the young girl in front of him and closed his eyes expressionlessly.
Fine…
this is kindness, how stupid…
