Chapter 134

Ten days later, the Devil looked at its new mount in delight and smiled foolishly at Adam. "Master, is this mine now?"

"Yes." Adam handed over a dozen test tubes containing the virus to the infected and said, "Order them to carry out the mission as I taught you."

The Devil nodded and leaped towards its mount, fusing into its body. Then, the purple stars in the eyes of the infected spun rapidly, leaving the basement along the passage and running wildly in all directions.

"How is it? Is there a delay? " After Adam closed the passage, he looked at the images provided by the surveillance cameras he had placed around the outside of the laboratory.

The Devil was having a lot of fun with its new toy, controlling the infected to perform one comical action after another. "No. I can perfectly control the infected. It feels as if I have many more bodies."

"Master, I think I can spread my thoughts to their bodies, so that they don't look as dull as they are now."

Adam nodded. It was an unexpected gain, but not important. "I'll leave the mission to you. Break the virus test tubes near the city."

The Devil's new mount was the Abyssal Virus body modified by Adam. It became a processor, while the Devil was the control program. Through the combination of the two, all infected creatures would be under the Devil's control. After the virus spread, all information seen by countless infected would be gathered on the Devil. In this way, Adam would have endless eyes and ears, and intelligence would no longer be a problem. When the infected devoured each other and evolved, they might even have the ability to threaten ordinary Anti-Mage apprentices.

After setting the mission instructions, the Devil withdrew from its fused state. Half of its body 'grew' out of the shoulder of the virus body, looking extremely bizarre.

"Master, I like this thing. Can I keep it after the trial?"

Adam thought for a moment. He felt that the virus could be spread freely on Ceylon Island, but once they arrived at the Magi's Continent, the Magi would never allow such a thing to happen. So, he said, "Yes, but it will be useless once we leave Ceylon Island."

The Devil shook his head repeatedly. "No, no, no. Although I can't spread the virus in the future, this is my body, a real body. I can use it in the future …" The Devil stopped abruptly. Of course, his body was very useful. For example, he could really do something when he was picking up girls in the future. However, he couldn't tell Adam that.

Adam glanced at it and was too lazy to expose it. After warning it again not to change into his appearance, he threw the knife over. The secret on the knife was deciphered by Adam. It was equivalent to a container, but it could only store things like mutant creatures without souls. It was just right to give it to the Devil.

The Devil put away the knife with a sinister smile and fell into his own fantasy.

A day later, the Devil pushed open Adam's door and reported: 「 Master, the infected have all entered the city 」

No one was spared.

After being blown by the wind of the virus, all creatures without supernatural energy in their bodies were instantly invaded by the virus. Their immune systems could not even resist for a second. The mutations that occurred during the experiment appeared in every corner where the wind of the virus blew.

Everyone's physique was different and their resistance to the virus was different. Most of the infected died directly, and the rest became the virus's puppets. After losing their minds, they madly devoured the other infected around them.

Adam did not set an incubation period when he created the virus. The virus took effect immediately. He did not care if it would be discovered, because even if Anti-Mage tried his best to wipe out hundreds of millions of infected creatures, it would be impossible to do so in a short time.

And it was not just humans. Even insects and animals were infected together. Their intelligence gathering ability was even stronger than the human infected.

As the wind of the virus blew, countless towns on Ceylon Island were infected one after another. Social order was in a state of collapse, and a biohazard crisis befell every Anti-Mage.

The number of trial apprentices in the fortresses along the coast was much more than before Adam left.

"The Orm family, the Barney family, and the Boris family have completely retracted their forces inland. There are no longer any apprentices left in the outer cities. Four of the Anti-Mage that the three families sent out to carry out missions have also been eliminated. We can consider meeting up with the members of the alliance from the other two tribes and discuss the plan to launch a general attack against Anti-Mage." Lilith pointed at the map on the screen and said to the others. Nearly ten war alliance apprentices had gathered in the high-level command center.

"The members of the other two fortresses have the same idea. The resistance from the outer families is weak, and the alliance's authority has been established. So far, all the trial apprentices have been controlled by the alliance, so continuing to stay in the outer regions is a waste of time."

"If no one has any objections, we will meet up with the members of the other two tribes within three days and push the battle line a thousand kilometers into the island."

A series of discussions sounded. As the wisest person in the branch, no one would object to Lilith's decision under normal circumstances.

Lilith nodded with satisfaction and said, "Do you have any other questions?"

At this moment, the door of the command center was suddenly pushed open. The trial apprentice who entered said with a panicked expression, "The mortals in the cities that we have taken down have gone mad!"

The alliance members turned their heads in unison. The apprentice who reported the news took out an information box and handed it to Lilith. "This is the video data."

Lilith put the information box into the optical projection, and the image played made everyone gasp.

"Is this the Anti-Mage's counterattack? It looks like some kind of infectious potion, "said an alliance member who studied potions." How about the trial apprentices? "

The apprentice who reported the news hesitated for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem to have any effect on us. However, the mutated mortals have physical attributes that far exceed the limits of grand knights."

"Only against mortals? Has the Anti-Mage gone mad? What's the use of doing this other than destroying their foundation? "

Lilith stared at the screen and played the video many times before saying, "No matter what, we have to meet up. Tell everyone to abandon all the towns and the mortals. If necessary, kill them."

The atmosphere was tense. Not everyone was cold-hearted. They did not care if they killed or accidentally injured a few mortals, but they still had doubts in their hearts about carrying out the order to massacre. More importantly, they asked, "What about our mission evaluation?"

"We can't care about the evaluation now. I have a bad feeling about this." Lilith muttered to herself. "What if this is not the work of the Anti-Mage?"
