If the prototype T-virus secondary evolution provided by the main god is the humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex with a human appearance in the records, then the Kabane secondary evolution mutated from the prototype T-virus is the "black smoke monster" in front of us that can multiply indefinitely as long as there is enough energy.
"It's just like cancer cells... If given unlimited energy, could it cover the entire Earth?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi heard that familiar sound again: like the cracking sound of breaking glass.
Then, the black smoke monster in the distance, which had grown to thirteen meters in size, suddenly stopped everything it was doing and collapsed with a bang in Lin Yi's astonished gaze.
It was indeed a "collapse." Countless humans and Kabane that made up its body fell off the main body as if they had lost their adhesiveness, while the Kabane at its heart—injected with the prototype virus by Lin Yi—was submerged in a sea of Kabane. A moment later, the main god sent feedback.
[The experimental subject's vital signs have disappeared.]
"...What's the reason?"
Excessive cell proliferation leads to gene repair falling behind the rate of gene proliferation, resulting in gene collapse.
After a long silence, Lin Yi exhaled: "Classify the virus prototype of World Two and the mutated virus prototype of World Three. Name the former T-virus and the latter Kabane virus."
【Command confirmation】
"The first evolution template of the T-virus is the current reincarnator, including strength-type evolution, physical-type evolution, agility-type evolution, and mental-type evolution. The second evolution of the T-virus is deduced based on Alice as the basic template."
[Instructions confirmed; simulation expected to be completed in approximately 3500 hours.]
"The primary evolutionary template of the Kabane virus was determined to be the normal form of Kabane, and the secondary evolutionary template was named 'Black Smoke.' Based on this, the evolutionary system of the Kabane virus was deduced."
[Instructions confirmed; simulation expected to be completed in approximately 5000 hours.]
"at last……"
He pulled a vial of a pale blue potion from his pocket, gently sucked it into the vial with a needle, and aimed it directly at his still trembling right hand: "Suppress the gene proliferation of my right hand, complete the evolution!"
[Command confirmed, suppression preparation in progress—]

[Second Evolution Begins]
Forbidden Zone of Life: Chapter 62 Trouble
As several survivors returned, news of the outcome of the Shogunate's counterattack on Kabane spread.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The successor of the shogunate set out with more than half of the shogunate's armed forces and power, as well as the hopes of every resident living under the shogunate's rule, but what he brought was an ending that made people feel truly desperate.
--completely annihilated.
Along with Amaterasu Mima, the son of the Shogun, more than 80,000 soldiers and samurai, along with thousands of expensive penetrating tubes that had squandered more than half of the Shogunate's mineral reserves, and even more supplies and equipment, were left forever in a distant town. Of course, the "alchemist" whose identity was known to only a few people also disappeared without a trace.
The shogun was furious and even considered organizing the remaining soldiers for a second campaign. To others, it seemed that the shogun was unable to accept the death of his only son, but only he knew the reason: the person who created the elixir of immortality had disappeared before it was completed. How could the shogun, who was always waiting to regain his youth, accept this?
Fortunately, the other shogunate rulers, who had been terrified by the "black smoke monster" that was reported to be able to easily break through the city walls, quickly stopped this crazy decision. If they were to waste half of the shogunate's remaining strength in the south, they would not be able to continue sitting in their positions. It would be better to obediently stick their necks out to the bottom of the Kabane.
It was precisely because of the lesson learned from this failed counterattack that the shogunate never mentioned anything about reclaiming the southern lands again. They devoted all their energy to building higher and larger walls, as well as the Kabaneri fortresses and railways that could be moved around the Kabane-occupied territories.
Besides, the shogunate seemed to have returned to the days when the Kabane never existed, with the upper class living in luxury and corruption, and the lower class blindly decadent... day after day.
Occasionally, people would only recall the terror of being confined within a "birdcage" when they stood on the city wall and looked south.
As for the Kabane in the south, the massive casualties inflicted by the expeditionary force could not be replenished by a mere 80,000 soldiers. To restore them to their previous formidable numbers would require a long period of accumulation. After all, times had changed. The Kabane could no longer easily conquer cities and villages. They had to infiltrate little by little, relying on chance and probability to take a new step towards the northern lands that still belonged to humans.
This is probably the most perfect situation.
Lin Yizhen truly believed this, having abandoned his identity as an "alchemist."
The two reincarnators were lucky enough to escape back to the human area. They originally thought that if all the human soldiers were wiped out, they could spread the word about the expeditionary force's fate through their mouths. However, they didn't expect that a few survivors would still escape back. So they didn't get to play a role... but it didn't matter.
"This speed is already quite good. At least when the number of reincarnators does not exceed one thousand, the replenishment speed of the enhancement potion is still far higher than the consumption."
Looking at the various exchanges and pitiful reward points accumulated by the five reincarnators over the past month, Lin Yi raised an eyebrow: "God, you can now filter the candidates according to the conditions I gave you before, and then select the official reincarnators based on a 10% survival rate—better to have none than to have bad ones. I don't want to waste my reserve energy on those natives with no potential."
【Command confirmation】
Having progressed to this point, it can be said that World Three can no longer be further exploited and plundered. Admittedly, Lin Yi is able to tamper with human settlements other than Sunborn, but firstly, this era lacks effective means of transportation, and secondly, no amount of enhancement potions can play a significant role at this stage. Only when the main god's development advances further in the future will it be possible to exploit this world more efficiently.
"...It's time to explore a new world."
But before that, we must first deal with some of the hidden dangers left over from World Zero.
As he pondered, he issued a new command to the being in his mind: "God, transfer to World Zero."
[Command confirmed. Transfer countdown begins—]
Lin Yi glanced at the five reincarnators who were still busy hunting Kabane, a smile appearing in his eyes: "Now that you've eaten and drunk your fill, it'll soon be your turn to shine..."
The world is quietly changing.
----------segmentation----------
He skillfully turned on his PC, browsing recent information while observing from another perspective provided by the God.
About three days ago, a warning came from an independent terminal similar to a god that he left in the Zero World before he traveled to the other world. At first, Lin Yi thought it was a delivery or property management company that had gone to the wrong door. However, after this happened for several days in a row, and each time it was done by secretly observing the house from a distance, even the stupidest person would know that something was wrong.
"So, is it still that murder case?"
He clicked on the webpage, and the headline that appeared was a murder case from a few months ago in the vicinity… Lin Yi felt no unfamiliarity with it, because it was he who had crushed their hearts with his right hand back then. The more specific cause was simply a violent case that escalated from extortion, but the investigators clearly didn't see it that way.
"Brutal in methods, cunning in actions, and pose a significant threat to society..."
Lin Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, unsure of how to react for a moment.
Generally speaking, such cases will only be delayed for a long time if they cannot be resolved in a short period of time, until they are completely forgotten. However, this time it was investigated in a very unusual way, and it took several months to investigate one by one until Lin Yi, a suspect with "high suspicion", was found.
Compared to the others, he was indeed more suspicious. After all, the suspects who had been investigated either had alibis or were unlikely to commit the crime due to distance or other reasons. Only Lin Yi, the "nouveau riche" who lived not far from the crime scene but was nowhere to be seen, had no evidence.
Even the question of how he, a "nouveau riche," was able to become one and buy this villa is highly suspicious. Given the overlap of these circumstances, it's not surprising that he was eventually placed under surveillance.
"trouble."
Forbidden Zone of Life: Chapter 63 "Martial Arts Master" (1)
It's foreseeable that if Lin Yi continues this lifestyle of disappearing all day, it won't be long before several burly men break down the door—the kind with search warrants.
Obviously, Lin Yi would not allow them to do that. After all, the main reason for acquiring this villa was to hide some things. Putting aside everything else, the things in that laboratory alone could not be exposed, unless he planned to create a biological crisis in this world or had already made up his mind to break with this world.
Lin Yi had considered moving the laboratory to another world, but the amount of reserve energy required for such a relocation would be considerable... or perhaps leaving this world forever and never returning?
At least until Lin Yi can find another world where he can freely purchase supplies, he is unlikely to do so.
"So, does this mean we still need to solve this problem in this world?"
While quickly browsing through various useful and useless information on the webpage, my gaze suddenly stopped on a certain exaggerated title.
"...God, make me a sword based on the style of ancient cold weapons in this world, just hard enough."
Enter a keyword in the search bar and open one of the many images that pop up: "There's another piece of clothing—just make it according to this style."
【Command confirmation】
With ample reserve energy, in less than half the time it took to create the God Watch, a sheathed, ancient-looking sword and a hooded black robe appeared before Lin Yi. After quickly putting them on, he once again commanded the entity in his mind: "Modify my body shape and features, with an error margin of about 5% from the prototype."
【Command confirmation】
With a creaking sound from the bones inside his body, the figure standing in place suddenly grew taller.
Picking up a black straw hat and putting it on his head, Lin Yi gazed at the gloomy sky through the gap in the curtains: "Looks like it's going to rain."
----------segmentation----------
A light rain was falling outside the car, bringing a long-lost coolness to this crowded city.
Li Gao, who had opened the car window to let in some fresh air, lit a cigarette and struck up a conversation with the person next to him: "Hey Lao Zhao, we've been keeping an eye on this haunted house that's been deserted for the past few days. Is it any real or not?"
"I don't know if it's reliable or not, but if we don't hear anything in two more days, there's no doubt we'll have to take over ourselves."
"Hey, you know, there are plenty of murders every year, and one more unsolved case doesn't make a difference, so why is the higher-ups so fixated on it?"
"If you ask me, who should I ask?"
As he smelled the smoke, Old Zhao clicked his tongue and was about to take out a cigarette from his pocket when a shadow suddenly "flew" past his eyes, and his hand froze instantly.
"Sigh, it's not that I'm complaining, but these past few months, the guys in the bureau have been working themselves to the bone, running around everywhere, but we haven't found anything. If this continues... Old Zhao?"
Swallowing hard, Old Zhao nervously surveyed his surroundings and asked in a low voice, "Old Li, did you see anything just now?"
"What is it?"
"A shadow—a shadow that drifts by!"
"Ha, are you still half asleep?"
"I'm telling you something serious!"
"I still think you're not fully awake."
Li Gao waved his hand, looking utterly dejected: "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, we weren't allowed to become spirits anymore. Where are all these demons and monsters running around? I think you'd better not cause any trouble tonight and go to sleep early."
Hearing this, Old Li realized he was being paranoid. After looking around again to make sure there was no trace of the figure he had glimpsed earlier, he relaxed and turned his attention back to the gloomy villa, unaware that its owner had already swaggered past them...
The rain was drizzling outside the window, and as a result, a few more students came into the shop to take shelter from the rain. They were probably too shy to come in without ordering anything and were invited to sit down. The owner's face immediately brightened, and he took the menu and went to greet them. Just as he was about to introduce some of the most expensive dishes, a sound came from the shop door.
Looking up, the noodle shop owner was completely dumbfounded.
A straw hat, black clothes, and a... ancient sword?
Looking around and not seeing anyone holding a camera, a student whispered his question: "Are they filming a movie?"
Before the noodle shop owner could hesitate about whether to welcome them or send them away, a third group of people swaggered in. When the shop owner saw them, he knew he was in trouble, and sure enough, he was.
"Liu Zi, have you prepared this month's allowance?"
The third group of people were also taken aback when they saw the figure wearing a straw hat, but then they turned their attention to the smiling shop owner.
The shop owner, surnamed Liu, was known in the underworld as Old Liu or Old Six, but at this moment, he was being addressed as "Six" by a young man who was clearly much younger than him. Even so, the shop owner didn't dare to say anything; instead, he tried his best to lower his tone: "Brother Leopard, it's not that I don't want to pay, it's just that business has been really bad lately. Could you give me a couple of days' grace?"
"Two extra days? Why the hell didn't you give me two extra days?!"
Showing no respect whatsoever to the livid shop owner, the young thug kicked over the table in front of him: "I'm telling you this right now, you have to pay up, whether you can or not!"
The onlookers then realized the problem and began packing up their things to leave the noodle shop, except for a few students who were blocked from leaving by Brother Leopard due to bad luck, and the "ancient actor" who sat down by himself.
At this point, the shop owner had no time to pay attention to anyone else, and pleaded, "Brother Leopard, I really don't have any money, it's not—"
"Fuck you!"
Leopard kicked aside the shop owner, whose face was full of pleading, and looked around with a grim expression: "No money?! You can forget about this shop—smash it!"
The group of young men with dyed hair following behind shouted excitedly and started smashing whatever was around them. The students who were blocked inside were in big trouble. They couldn't go in or back out, and could only pray that the group would ignore them and let them leave as soon as possible.
"Oh, how many students are left?"
The students felt a chill run down their spines. The young man known as Brother Leopard wasn't that crazy; he simply glanced up and down and waved for his subordinates to move aside.
Several students breathed a sigh of relief and were about to quicken their pace to leave this place of trouble when one of them suddenly saw the "ancient actor" who had been sitting in the corner the whole time, drinking alone.
It has to be said that his movements do have a bit of the flair of a movie character. The problem is that the movie character is drinking fine wine, while he is drinking cheap tea that costs a few dollars a pound and has been brewed countless times.
Forbidden Zone of Life: Chapter 64 "Martial Arts Master" (2)
"At your age, you're still trying to do role-playing like a primary school student? Don't you know that Lei Gong Tai Chi was recently knocked out by a few punches?"
Mockingly, a young man with dyed hair casually reached for the antique blade on the dining table—although he wasn't an antique appraiser, its appearance alone made it clear it wasn't some cheap knock-off. He figured Brother Leopard wouldn't object to him taking advantage of the opportunity to make a little extra cash.
The loud noise from the corner caught the attention of the few people still in the shop, including Brother Leopard, who pulled out a knife to threaten the shop owner. Turning around, he saw that the "ancient actor" was still sitting in the same position, not even changing his tea-drinking gesture. However, in stark contrast to him was one of his henchmen lying unconscious on the ground.
"Damn it, you're looking for death!"
Without asking "What kind of gang are you on, friend?" or revealing his identity as someone who works for XX, Leopard Brother, after assessing the situation, pulled out a butterfly knife from his pocket without a word and rushed towards the "ancient master"—aiming for his head.
------------segmentation----------
How can you resolve your most pressing crisis in the shortest amount of time?
While in the villa, Lin Yi carefully considered the matter for a while. The best way to solve the problem was to set up another "truth" for those who were trying to find out the truth. The problem was that Lin Yi had neither the time nor the energy to do something that would not yield any objective reward.
He could even anticipate that he would not only kill someone in the Zero World once, and what if such a situation occurred again in the future?
