Genesis had been searching for and studying the relics for many years, so they had unlocked technological secrets. Other than the Genetic Evolution Serums, Genesis had also introduced some new weapons, such as special alloy swords, which could cut off the tough outer skin of a beast easily, special guns, which were powered by mutant nuclei, as well as mini-radars, which could detect zombies and mutant beasts within a 30-meter radius.
Many teams considered mini-radars a must-have as there were too few paranormals with mental abilities. Although the mini-radar’s function was weak, it acted as those teams’ eyes when they hunted for beasts outside.
As a result, the contribution-point system that Genesis had established gradually became a kind of popular—its points were the hard currency now.
Thanks to the Genetic Evolution Serums and the continuous stimulation of evolution crystals, several level-2 paranormals had gradually broken through to the next level. In the past, level-2 paranormals could be considered local emperors. As for level-3 paranormals, they had been legendary beings. Sun Kun and Zhang Hai, who had been following Jiang Liushi, had been the only ones that had encountered such beings in the past when Genesis had still been a hidden force.
Undoubtedly, breaking through the second level and reaching the third was a qualitative leap.
In this world, level-3 paranormals were awe-inspiring and enjoyed an extraordinary status. Also, all level-3 paranormals were eligible to join Genesis, become high-ranking members, and use its resources to their heart’s content.
Ever since the public got to know that the Genetic Evolution Serums could assist level-2 paranormals in breaking through the bottleneck, nobody could resist the sweet temptation. Thus, everyone had been striving to earn contribution points for purchasing the Genetic Evolution Serum.
Naturally, the fastest way to earn contribution points was to hunt and capture guerillas. Once they handed them to Genesis’ members, they would receive an abundance of contribution points.
Presently, Zhang Hai’s and Sun Kun’s guerilla force was under siege. In fact, they had been encircled for more than a month. In the meantime, other than encircling them, Genesis had swept and annihilated many other guerilla forces.
Although the mountains gave Zhang Hai’s guerilla force a territorial advantage, they also worked against them, the more their opponents advanced. The situation was dire, so they had to be careful.
At the same time, Zhang Hai and Sun Kun started to become desperate as they realized that their so-called counterattacks were insignificant before Genesis’ might.
Genesis’ high-ranking members had no time to deal with them. Sending low-ranking members and teams was enough to squash their guerilla force and capture them. Moreover, Genesis’ low-ranking members may be the organization’s bottom feeders, but they were still top-notch paranormals.
In the East Asia area alone, four major forces had sided with Genesis—their leaders were all level-3 paranormals!
Among those leaders, the one that was controlling Shenhai Island was known as Black Spider. Rumor had it that this fellow’s body had been modified, and he possessed an assimilation ability. He could absorb mutant beasts and use them as parts of his body. At the beginning of the virus outbreak, such a kind of ability had not existed.
When thinking of Black Spider, Zhang Hai was afraid to picture the upcoming battle.
…
At the same time, somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, a small warship was cruising through the fierce waves with ease. This area was near the equator. Because of the sun’s toxicity and water’s evaporation, this area was considered to be the birthplace of the world’s most horrific storm. Once a typhoon was formed, even huge fleets needed to avoid it, let alone other ships. After all, an ocean storm was far more terrifying than a land storm.
Presently, the Pacific Ocean’s Center was being ravaged by huge, ferocious waves. The roaring waves were as huge as a hill, threatening to cover the sky. A small warship was shuttling lightly between such tidal waves—that warship belonged to the Shi Ying Squad!
It had taken two years for Jiang Liushi’s Starseed to absorb the Metal Essence in its entirety. It had also absorbed the metals stored in the Black Cube.
However, although Starseed had absorbed everything, it was difficult to restore the starship, as its structure was complicated and advanced. It would take a lot of time to restore it. In fact, to this moment, Starseed had only accomplished to complete the starship’s heart—the power system!
The power system used the Black Hole as its core. It could devour materials from the surrounding space and transform them into the driving force. This was a higher level of energy than nuclear fusion energy. As a result, the starship could be regarded as a “perpetual motion machine”, providing a steady stream of sources.
At first, the utilization of Black Light Energy for the engine of Jiang Liushi’s MCV was low because of the used materials and structure. But this time, Metal Essence had been used to construct the main engine, so the conversion rate of Black Light Energy was more than 90%.
Still, the power system alone was not sufficient. The starship also needed to transform the energy and harness it as a means of combat. Before the starship was fully formed, Jiang Liushi needed a transitional form. Of course, the easiest way to obtain this form was still scanning. Compared to the starship’s long construction time, the scanning construction could be completed in just a few hours.
“Brother Jiang, we are close to Japan. It’s still about 800 nautical miles,” said Ran Xiyu.
Jiang Liushi nodded.
After cultivating for two years, Ran Xiyu had simply become a humanoid super-long-range radar. Her perception could cover hundreds of kilometers. If it was concentrated into a straight line, it could stretch to 2,000 kilometers!
Such a powerful ability, not to mention detecting zombies, was enough to help navigate the high seas. Therefore, the Geomagnetic Positioning System was deemed useless as they navigated through the Pacific Ocean.
“We will cross the storm area immediately. After that, we will be in Japan’s territorial waters of Japan. Finally, we will reach the American Military Base.”
“I see, very good.” Jiang Liushi nodded. This landing point was his intentional choice.
“Good!? Brother Jiang, the base has undergone a huge transformation. The original base seems to have been destroyed, and in its place is a new safe area…” said Ran Xiyu, even when they were hundreds of kilometers away from it.
“Destroyed!?” Jiang Liushi was shocked. “Hmm, only Genesis could have accomplished that.”
Half an hour later, Jiang Liushi no longer needed Ran Xiyu to continue navigating. He had spotted the metal behemoth on the shore—the aircraft carrier!
