Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

The car drove smoothly on the road.

As the car drove out of the city, the road conditions were not as chaotic as inside the city.

Occasionally, a few lone zombies would stagger along the roadside, turn their heads blankly at the sound of an engine, and be quickly left behind in the dust.

The carriage was quiet.

Lu Ze gripped the steering wheel, his gaze fixed straight ahead. Silver Wolf, in the passenger seat, turned his head to look out the window, one hand supporting his chin, and hadn't uttered a word since getting into the car.

The rearview mirror reflected the two people sitting in the back row—Hei Ta with his eyes closed, leaning back in his seat, and Qi Lin with her head down, seemingly lost in thought.

None of the four spoke; only the deep roar of the engine filled the silent space.

Perhaps to ease the tension, Lu Ze casually asked Black Tower:

"Black Tower, was your experiment a success?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet carriage.

Although Silver Wolf didn't turn his head, he subtly adjusted his posture and quietly tilted his ear towards the driver's seat.

Even Qi Lin, who had been keeping her head down, raised her face and looked at the Black Tower.

Black Tower opened his beautiful purple eyes, his tone casual.

"It's all done," she said softly.

"So what did you do?"

Lu Ze continued the conversation by asking further questions.

The fact that Heita was willing to explain meant that she wasn't in too bad a mood.

"It's nothing, just mixing the so-called T virus with some Honkai energy and injecting it into a section of the Eternal Life Branch to induce the growth of some spores."

Black Tower spoke casually, as if he were mixing a glass of sugar water.

Qi Lin was completely confused; she didn't understand a single one of these technical terms.

But Lu Ze and Silver Wolf were both taken aback.

"Old woman, are you sure you're conducting an experiment, and not trying to destroy the world?"

Silver Wolf suddenly turned his head, almost leaning half his body into the back seat, the seatbelt stretched out long.

She didn't know what Honkai energy was, but Eternal Life Branch was a tree branch growing on the body of the bountiful people.

"Watch your attitude, you little hacker," Black Tower retorted without any politeness.

To call the beautiful and intelligent Ms. Black Tower an old woman is truly blind.

"Where did you get your Honkai energy?"

Lu Ze took one hand off the steering wheel and rubbed his slightly throbbing temples.

This thing shouldn't exist in the universe beyond the Black Tower.

"Sirin gave it to me," Black Tower replied casually.

"When did you two get so close?" Lu Ze raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Aren't these two always bickering?

"As long as you don't compete with her for her older brother, she's quite easy to talk to," Black Tower unusually gave a fair assessment.

After Black Tower took the initiative to say that she would no longer play the game of fighting with Sirin for her brother, Sirin gave her a Honkai Energy Crystal as a token of goodwill.

Now, the Black Tower has mixed this Honkai energy crystal with the T-virus, creating an even more violent energy virus.

No, it can no longer be called a virus; it should be called a poison.

This thing has absolutely no chance of invading a host, because it will kill you instantly if you come into contact with it.

Black Tower has already tested it on zombies; even a tiny bit of it turns a zombie that has already died once to ashes instantly.

Therefore, Black Tower thought of using the abundant material, the evergreen branch, as a carrier to withstand the violent erosion of the virus, and then cultivating mild spores.

These spores are also interesting.

It not only inherits the strong corrosiveness of Honkai energy and the fusion characteristics of the T-virus, but also possesses the ability to be difficult to kill, perfectly achieving rapid spread, easy mutation, and the ability to quickly replicate itself.

Its rapid spread allows it to quickly parasitize its host.

The spores themselves are very fragile. Once they parasitize a living organism, they are quickly eliminated by the immune system, at most causing a serious illness in people with weaker constitutions.

However, for zombies that are already dead and whose immune systems are completely paralyzed, these spores are a natural enemy.

It will take root in the rotting flesh of zombies, constantly absorbing nutrients and rapidly multiplying into more spores until it completely drains the host.

These spores, harmless to living creatures but highly effective against zombies, are the method Black Tower uses to eliminate all zombies in Raccoon City.
