Chapter 139
The second-generation virus allows the infected body to master the secondary element energy, which is a huge leap compared to the first-generation virus, but the third-generation virus in Adam’s envisioned This qualitative change will only make every infected body valuable, whether it is'before death' or'after death'.
The current infected body has the ability to eat the remaining infected body's corpses to replenish its own physical strength, which is the ability of the abyssal creatures. A truly complete abyssal creature can devour all energy to promote its own evolution. Adam's existing ability has not been able to restore it, but he can amplify the most superficial form of this ability.
This research is what Adam will complete next-the phagocytosis of infectious viruses.
If the third generation virus research is successful, it means that the evolution of the virus is changed from Adam's full control to the uncontrollable and autonomous evolution of the virus, which means that Adam does not know what the infected body will become next.
Just one thing is certain, the final result of this disorderly evolution must be self-destruction.
Because when Adam’s eyes and ears covered the entire island of Ceylon, he discovered that although the virus can be spread through the air, the scope of the virus is limited to the island, and none of the countless lives in the sea have been infected. Obviously the first Five Elements Saint Tower will not allow the unrestricted spread of this virus. That is to say, the number of infected bodies is now saturated, and no new creatures will be infected. Then when the virus starts to swallow itself, the number will only increase. Less.
But this is indifferent. The knowledge of virus development has been mastered, and the consumption of these infectious bodies is not in Adam's consideration.

After five days.
Outside Ceylon Island, in the war trial headquarters hidden in the folds of space, Lord Mage from the Five Elements Saint Tower felt a headache.
"This apprentice named Adam, what should we do?" A male mage pointed to a piece of the suspended light curtain that showed Adam and asked.
A female mage knocked on the table and said: "He did not break the rules. All the merits obtained are valid, but..."
"But he broke After the trial order, look at these things.” The first mage waved his hand. After the light curtain changed, the infected body covering the mountains and plains was displayed. These infected bodies attacked the ordinary Anti-mage after obtaining the innate talent magic. The apprentice caused the catastrophe, “The trial has become undifficult for him. Not only that, we can’t even release special tasks. Those key locations that are dangerous to the apprentice are all killed by these infected bodies. It’s filled and destroyed."
Female mage sighed: "If this goes on, this session will be the one that has passed the least number of apprenticeships, and I suspect it may not even reach fifty."

The light curtain changed again. This time shows the image of the large open space outside Adam’s laboratory. Mage pointed to the infected body above the metal block as the ant moved and said: "Fifty? Adam's data. Have you all learned about it? Do you remember the magic called Super-Electromagnetic Cannon?"
Several mage faces could not help but look like the light curtain was constantly changing under their control, and Anti-mage was driven away. The apprentices in the trial chase intentionally or unintentionally, the final destination during the deduction, and the magic array and metal blocks prepared by Adam are connected by them.
"He is going to..."
———
In five days, between Anti-mage, trial apprentice, and infected body Since the battle to destroy Hill, Lance and Aum Three Great Families was destroyed by the infected body, all the apprentices saw that the infected body had only one countermeasure, and that was to kill.
But there are too many infected bodies. Every time they fight Anti-mage, countless infected bodies will peek at them. This forces them to be unable to preserve their strength. Most of the apprentices who suppress the promotion are Has become the official mage.
"Lilith, if you continue to follow this route, where will the final destination be?" These elites are not stupid. They have already discovered that the infected body is guiding them, but they have no way to break the situation. The feeling of walking by the nose makes everyone angry.
Lilith spread out a map with arrows painted on it. She picked up a pen and drew a circle to the left of the center of Ceylon Island: "Holy Meteorite Basin, if nothing else, it is here. ."
The War Alliance has recently suffered a lot. Their credibility is rapidly declining in units of sky. The trial apprentices outside the Alliance are very dissatisfied with the efficiency of the Alliance.
They have reason to be dissatisfied: At first, you asked everyone to join in, unified command and operation, and promised to maximize the results of the battle, so that more people will experience the painful trial. Well, we believe it, but Now, apart from a few people in your alliance who have earned enough feats, we haven't seen it at all. I knew that. Instead of working with you, it's better to go out and try one's luck.
Therefore, Lilith and the leaders of the War Alliance urgently need a big victory to stabilize the military spirit, so that at least some people can see the real merits.
"We can't be led away." Lilith said categorically.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay for a while, and then someone raised doubts: "Our people go around to spy on intelligence, but every time the main combat personnel arrive, they will find that Anti-mage has escaped. Now, as long as the infected body is still there, we can’t help but be led away."
"Yes, but those things simply can't be killed."
Lilith was silent for a while. , And then asked one side: "Reinhardt, how is your side?"
"These infected bodies seem to be mining and collecting metal materials. They are very cautious and will destroy themselves when they are spied. , We have too few people to complete all-round tracking, but," Reinhardt dragged the map, extended the hand, spread his five fingers and pressed it in one place: "They will all flow to this area eventually."
"This is the intersection of the three powers of the Hill family, the Lance family, and the Immortal School."
"Yes, a huge wasteland, without any supplies, without a town. "
Lilith looking thoughtful: "That's why it's more suitable for hiding, isn't it?"
The rest of the members who listened to the conversation between the two suddenly realized, and then burst into anger: "You are Say, that secret mastermind is hidden here?"
They hate this person very much. Although he didn't use the infected to kill even one of them, he was played with applause on this IQ. It feels more uncomfortable than killing them.
Lilith nodded: "If there is no accident, this is it. It seems that before the decisive battle with Anti-mage, we have to solve this problem first..."
