Chapter 40 - 40

Scarlet Witch possessed immense power but lacked a strong mind. Lin Fan would become her backing, allowing her to fully unleash her reality-altering abilities.

Scarlet Witch nodded, curling up in Lin Fan's arms, the tear stains at the corners of her eyes not yet dry.

Lin Fan summoned Izsha, telling her to place Scarlet Witch in the Evolution Pit for Broodmother transformation, and then planned to find a battlefield to test the new Zerglings.

As for Quicksilver, he was still being held captive.

Quicksilver's genetic sequence had already been identified by the Zerg Base, so no matter how fast Quicksilver was, he would be caught, and under the influence of the Tesseract, Quicksilver could only run in place.

Overlords spread throughout Queens were scanning...

Lin Fan could see that the area was already ravaged; in just one day and night, the apocalypse had arrived.

Ordinary people could only await Death.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. was a national agency, the Military and the high-ranking Hydra infiltrators jointly, under the guise of 'isolation and review' to prevent greater infection, had taken control.

Tony was upgrading his second-generation mechanical legion with Jarvis. Hulk, Ant-Man, and Mister Fantastic were summoned to Stark Tower to collaboratively refine Ultron's design.

However, many things could not escape the Overlords' sight.

After the Overlords advanced to the second-tier Zerg Base, they possessed third-tier psionic abilities, and their signal interference further increased, making it impossible for ordinary corporate satellites to track their location.

Mother Elizabeth and the evolved Moser were engaged in a struggle for dominance. However, Moser was still at a disadvantage.

Although Mother Elizabeth was severely weakened by the anti-Blacklight antidote, after acquiring virus samples from multiple nests, Mother Elizabeth became even stronger.

However, Moser secretly took virus samples from several nests, infuriating Mother Elizabeth. But the Military dispatched Blackwatch to deploy anti-Blacklight mist in Queens.

However, the Military's repeated attempts to send troops were unsuccessful, and they could only maintain isolation outside the perimeter wall.

To clear out the zombie legion in Queens in one go, devices containing anti-Blacklight mist needed to be deployed underground using special vehicles.

But Mother Elizabeth would definitely pursue relentlessly, sending heavy forces to pin down the Military troops on the periphery, constantly infecting and increasing her forces.

However, the evolved Arthur wanted to defeat Mother Elizabeth, so the enemy of his enemy was his friend; he planned to help the Military resist Mother Elizabeth's forces, creating an opportunity for the anti-Blacklight mist to be successfully installed.

Lin Fan discovered that the evolved Arthur intended to destroy Mother Elizabeth's forces, so he determined that this was the battlefield to test the new Zerglings.

Queens could not be controlled by Mother Elizabeth, but it also could not return to the Military's hands.

This was the Military's third offensive today, intending to take the target point in one surge of momentum.

Lin Fan dispatched 2000 Zerglings to battle.

Due to Mother Elizabeth's extensive deployment of HYDRA for anti-air defense, the Military did not send armed helicopters but instead advanced with tank armored divisions.

The main combat forces were supplied by thirty-seven nearby Marine Corps Military Bases, consisting of 15,460 Marines, 187 Tiger tanks, and 324 armored vehicles.

Among the Marines, 1000 were equipped with Rocket launchers, 200 with anti-material sniper rifles, 2000 with grenade launchers, 2000 with light machine guns, and 100 with Gatling heavy machine guns. The remaining personnel were equipped with standard assault rifles.

A force of this scale was sufficient to occupy a small country.

But they were not facing humans!!

Mother Elizabeth cultivated Hunters through the water tanks on building rooftops, leading to residents being infected through the Water supply. After all, people cannot not drink Water, and when public Water supply stopped, Water tank reserves became the first choice.

The Military brought this trouble upon themselves by cutting off all Water, electricity, and gas to the walled-off area, making it impossible for humans inside to survive.

This, in turn, facilitated Mother Elizabeth's accumulation of troops.

Her half a million zombie legion was blocking the way here, making it impossible for Military forces to pass, and the number of Hunters also rapidly increased due to Mother Elizabeth's evolution.

And the increase in the zombie Base also indirectly screened out more mutated zombies.

Zombies with Claws for arms.

Zombies with shields on their arms.

Zombies with blade-like edges on their arms.

And zombies with excessively swollen body muscles.

This made it even more difficult for Military forces to enter.

The first two batches of troops were crushed by the zombie legion without even advancing.

However, Blackwatch had also formulated a new plan this time: advancing step by step, placing mist devices as the troops pushed forward. Although this would reduce visibility, it had both pros and cons, as it could prevent the zombies from reclaiming more territory.

The anti-Blacklight mist would quickly kill lower-tier zombies.

More potent than an egg, of course, were biochemical weapons.

Compared to the uncontrollable and long-term purification side effects of nuclear radiation.

Biochemical weapons' highly targeted nature made them the darling of the new era.

The new Zerglings traveled to the target point through Digger's underground tunnels.

Lin Fan observed the battle from within an Overlord.

"Digger, I need a hole to trap all those vehicles."

Yesterday, the Decomposer gained a large amount of biomass on the battlefield, allowing Lin Fan to establish several more Initial Zerg Bases underground, increasing larva output.

The number of Diggers also increased. With hundreds working simultaneously, those incoming vehicles would disappear from the surface!
