-----------
Inside the second wall, several biological researchers came out with messy hair, seemingly unwashed for days. There were red threads in their eyes but there was also a hint of excitement on their faces, it might be even madness.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..." A bald Scientist in the lead called out.
Elizabeth was watching the battle from the walls at this time, so her face was as grave as ever. Looking at the gradually approaching Zerg, her hands were clenched.
Hearing the shouts, Elizabeth turned her head to look to see these Scientists who were considered lunatics by everyone.
"Your Highness, our research... has been successful." The bald Scientist shouted with both hands raised.
"Successful?" Elizabeth was slightly amazed.
But immediately reacted to what this bald Scientist said, because there were a few of the projects studied by Scientists that were approved by herself. The Toxic Gas and a lot of other wonder items were all approved by her and only then was it possible to proceed.
"General Cross, hold the line with all you got and wait for me to return," Elizabeth said to Cross.
Immediately, under the escort of Custodes. She quickly went downstairs and towards the Scientists.
At the time of emergency, she didn't care about anything and moved quickly. Soon, she came to a biological laboratory behind the wall. Here there were the bodies of Supernatural beings, including the Murloc, Immortal Cultivator, Dark Elves Queen, and Fire Giant that were captured alive in previous rounds and more.
At this time, the appearance of these Supernatural creatures seemed to undergo no small change.
Seeing these altered Supernatural creatures, a strange look passed over Elizabeth's face as she asked, "Did your... experiment succeed?"
"Yes." The bald Scientist at the head of the group nodded energetically and said, "Finally... The T-Virus has been developed."
This was a project that even Elizabeth had no hope of. It was these Scientists' idea, who were considered by many to be lunatics. When they saw the zombies captured in the first round, immediately, the idea arose.
After the autopsy, a peculiar virus in the body of a zombie was soon discovered. Judging from the result, this peculiar virus is what turned ordinary beings into zombies. This new and dreadful virus aroused the interest of these oddballs. They had a sudden idea...
Since this virus could infect ordinary beings, then can it infect Supernaturals? If you have an idea, act now.
Several Scientists quickly found Supernatural creatures to do experiments and it was smooth at first. For example, the martial artists and the cultivators. After being infected, they were zombified and lost consciousness.
However, the process afterward was not satisfactory enough.
After injecting the virus into the body of the Murloc, although the Murloc reacted, it was not zombified. The following effects on the Elf Queen, the Cultivator, and the Fire Giant were getting worse and worse.
Dealing with the rest of the Fire Giant could only make them lose some fighting power and consciousness. There was no other effect, not to mention the zombification and this result made a few anxious.
From the beginning, although Biology was also a formal subject, its status was far inferior to other subjects and so there were very few people who studied it. In the Imperium, it could be considered a relatively unpopular one, so not many people cared.
Except for the Toxic Gas, this group, which spends a lot of money every year, had no other results. Many people also proposed to abolish this group. If Elizabeth hadn't insisted, it really wouldn't exist anymore.
In everyone's opinion, people who study biology are bizarre and crazy. It also made these Scientists secretly hold back their word and want to prove themselves, especially on this conquest. They had a bold idea to develop a super virus that could make even Supernaturals like the Cultivators and Fire Giants able to zombify.
"How did you guys do it?" Elizabeth asked with great curiosity. There was a hint of doubt in her eyes as it was indeed hard to believe.
"We did several sets of experiments and made several hybrid viruses first, but none of them were satisfactory, and then..." The bald Scientist said with an excited look on his face, "We extracted serums from the Undead Knight, the Murloc, the Elf Queen, the Cultivator, and the Fire Giant and blended them. In the end, the T-Virus was initially made. The Fire Giant and the Cultivator, after the injection, could be successfully zombified."
"Your Highness, look!." The bald Scientist points back at the platform.
A body of a Supernatural creature. A Cultivator and several Fire Giants were placed in the middle. Their faces were pale, and their eyes were sunken in and turned completely white.
The Cultivator's face had thin, black blood vessels and her lips were slightly darkened. Her beautiful appearance from earlier was gone.
The Fire Giant next to her was even more startling. There were black blood vessels all over its body, it was grim.
"These are the reactions after being injected with the T-virus. They are no longer Cultivator or Fire Giant, to be precise..." The bald Scientist exclaimed, "It is a new type of Supernatural zombie."
"Is it any different from those ordinary zombies?" Elizabeth asked.
"There are differences." The bald Scientist explained, "In addition to their combat strength, these Supernatural zombies retained a bit of consciousness, but this consciousness is not strong. And because of that, they didn't attack us because they still have the memory of being captured by us."
Elizabeth looked over and sure enough, the Infected Cultivator and the Fire Giant were just growling but didn't make a move.
"In addition…" The bald Scientist continued, "They inherited the nature of the zombies so they are very aggressive towards living creatures and are very bloodthirsty."
"So, they can now fight for us?" Elizabeth felt that this idea was a bit ridiculous.
"Rather than fighting for us…" The bald Scientist explained, ", It is their instinct to crave the flesh and blood of the more powerful creatures."
There was no need for the bald Scientist to explain, Elizabeth saw that the Infected Cultivator and the Fire Giant were looking at the Supernatural creatures next to them that hadn't been injected with the T-Virus, and there was a bloodthirst in their eyes.
"Make sure it's safe." Elizabeth looked at the bald Scientist and asked.
"There's no way to ensure that." The bald Scientist shook his head and said, "This is something that has just been developed so we dare not guarantee it, but there should be no mishap."
Elizabeth glanced at the laboratory. She took a deep breath, then said, "Release them, even if something goes wrong, I'll be responsible."
Outside the walls, in the 2nd wave, stronger Zerg had appeared. They were faster and more powerful.
When the Astra Militarum finally wiped out all the Zerg of the first wave, these new Zerg followed close behind.
TU-!, TU-!, TU-!, TU...
The Machine Guns were shooting continuously while Artillery and Rifles were also being fired like crazy. All the Guardsmen used all their strength and their hands never left the trigger for a moment, even the Sniper was also doing their best.
But these Royal-Class Zerg were too powerful. Their position was going to be breached, and they were closing in.
300 meters.
200 meters.
150 meters.
100 meters.
The horde of Zerg was getting closer and closer and was about to rush to within 100 meters.
"Should we use the Toxic Gas?" Fleming asked in a deep voice.
At this time, Fleming, because there was no more threat underground, also brought people back to the wall.
"No." Cross, however, shook his head.
Toxic Gas couldn't distinguish between the ally and foe. Although their lethality was potent, the consequences were too serious. But even if they exterminated these False Xel'naga, there were still more Zerg coming from the other side of the passage. The number of Toxic Gases was limited, so they wouldn't last long.
"Then the only way is to use gunpowder to blast all the tunnels below, or have Her Highness use the Schwerer Gustav again," Fleming said somewhat helplessly.
These two methods could only slow them down for a while and let the Astra Militarum hold up for more time. There was no perfect solution.
[ ===== ]
"If all these means are used, the Astra Militarum should be able to hold out for another 20 minutes at most." Watching this scene, Sebastian had a plan in mind but shook his head. There was no point.
[ ===== ]
Just as Cross and others were preparing to blow up the tunnel to block the attack route of the enemy, Elizabeth rushed back with the people.
Before they got close, she immediately said, "Let a few False Xel'naga over to Dr. Hans's Infected Army."
Dr. Paul Hans-Günther was the bald biologist from earlier. Because of the creation of Toxic Gases, therefore, he was referred to as a "Doctor" by Elizabeth.
"Infected Army?" Hearing her words, Cross and others were slightly dumbfounded.
Then they saw that, from the second gate of the wall, one after another, the Infected Supernatural Being appeared. There were Cultivators, Elf Queen, Murloc, and Fire Giant.
"Are these…" One Scientist couldn't resist asking.
"Don't ask these questions, just follow my orders," Elizabeth said in a deep voice.
"Yes-!" Cross did not hesitate, he immediately ordered, "Attention everyone, let 10 False Xel'naga at the front cover and shoot the other behind."
The Guardsmen were also slightly dumbfounded, but they still did as they were told.
TU-!, TU-!, TU-!, TU...
The direction of the Machine Gun slightly avoided the front and let the frontmost 10 False Xel'naga come in.
They didn't think that much, instead, they lunged even more swiftly. It was only 100 meters away from the walls.
For them, it was just a few clicks away. In a few seconds, they rushed to the front. Along the wall, they wanted to climb up. But how could the Astra Militarum let them do that, so Machine Gun and Grenade attacked them. This 30-meter-high wall was not that easy to climb, so they dodged left and right and frantically ran toward the wall.
At this time, the Gate suddenly opened wide. It made them pause for a moment. There was a way to get in, it was better than rushing up to the walls in a rain of bullets. The Zerg didn't even think twice and immediately rushed in. What they met head-on was a Fire Giant.
The Infected Fire Giant, seeing these Zerg, immediately, its eyes widened, then it screamed and lunged forward. It collided with the False Xel'naga that were rushing in and the two fought.
The False Xel'naga used their sharp forelimbs and slashed frantically at the Zombified Fire Giant.
But the Infected Fire Giant didn't care as it let them cut as much as they liked, it was not afraid of being cut. It opened its mouth wide and bit down on the neck of the False Xel'naga.
