Fly!

Chang Wei ventured deep into the infected zone. The infected zone he had discovered before had already been dealt with by Black Watch.

So he could only spend a long time searching before finding a second infected zone.

Black Watch soldiers had stepped up their patrols, so using a few infected to spread the infection beyond the infected zone was no longer viable.

Chang Wei had mainly tried it before, but Black Watch soldiers quickly arrived and killed the infected, making it impossible for an infected zone to form.

Fortunately, even though Alex Mercer lacked Elizabeth Greene's ability to spread the infection and create Nests in the early stages, the vial of Blacklight Virus he possessed still caused outbreaks of the Blacklight Virus from time to time.

The Blacklight Virus's transmission routes and Life Force were not something ordinary viruses could compare to.

He devoured quite a few infected he came across, eating them whenever he saw them. After all, he was desperately short on Gene Points. Then Chang Wei discovered traces of a Hunter.

Chang Wei immediately used the Hunter he had found to test his Thunderbolt Form.

"Ten Thousand Volt Current!"

The crackling arcs of electricity all over Chang Wei's body pierced through the air under his control and struck the Hunter in front of him.

The high-voltage current stiffened and paralyzed the Hunter's entire body. High-voltage electrocution caused arc discharges, and the extreme heat generated by the arcs could make the surrounding air explode. Meanwhile, the thermal effect of the current continuously heated the target. In just a few seconds, it could be electrocuted black like fried chicken—or killed outright.

An electric arc could melt a copper busbar in an instant and reach temperatures of thousands of degrees Celsius.

If it weren't for the Blacklight Virus's special properties, Chang Wei could not have produced such high-voltage electricity. It was never something a biological organism could withstand.

The Hunter remained rigid for a while, and scorched patches began appearing on its body. Chang Wei then stopped generating electricity.

"Very good. With this, any enemy who gets close to me will be caught completely off guard by this move."

Chang Wei was very satisfied. A mere ten thousand volts had such terrifying power that even a Hunter could not break free. Even after Chang Wei stopped discharging electricity, the Hunter remained motionless, smoke rising from its entire body.

Only when Chang Wei went to devour it did he discover that the Hunter was already recovering. What a terrifying virus—its creations completely defied the laws of nature.

While Chang Wei wandered around for several days, Alex Mercer also began his own investigation into Elizabeth Greene.

During this process, Alex Mercer found his girlfriend, Karen Parker. Since Karen Parker had been the original Alex Mercer's girlfriend, she immediately sensed that something was off about this Alex Mercer.

However, because Alex Mercer said he had amnesia, Karen Parker was only half convinced.

In the Original Plot, she betrayed Mercer because she had tested him and discovered that he was not the original Alex Mercer, but some other unknown thing. Naturally, she betrayed him.

Of course, this was not to whitewash Karen Parker. After all, their perspective was on Mercer's side, and they could understand what it felt like to be betrayed by his own girlfriend, Karen Parker.

His girlfriend knew some inside information, and with the help of his sister Diana, Mercer finally found information about Elizabeth Greene.

Over the past few days, Chang Wei had been observing the military base's location and hunting.

Since he had nothing better to do, Chang Wei completed his third evolution during this time.

Flight Form!

This was a form that neither protagonist of the first or second Original Plot had evolved. Chang Wei had recently crammed aerodynamics, flight structures, and related knowledge. He had also captured bats and all kinds of flying animals to add more possibilities to his genes.

In the end, Chang Wei evolved a pair of enormous Bat Wings that satisfied him greatly. They generated powerful gusts when flapped and made quite a commotion.

Yet they could fly. Chang Wei felt that everything he had learned before was useless. Something like the Blacklight Virus was inherently unscientific.

With each wing spanning over two meters, the Bat Wings allowed Chang Wei to fly continuously for more than an hour before he needed to replenish his energy. Chang Wei also found the flight speed acceptable, reaching an average speed of two hundred kilometers per hour.

That was a flight speed of over fifty-five meters per second. With such speed, combined with Chang Wei's superhuman physical abilities, performing all kinds of aerial maneuvers and rapid turns was no problem. Those forces remained within his tolerance and would not turn him into a meat pancake from one sudden turn or stop.

"So this is what flying feels like?"

Chang Wei leaped straight up from where he stood, then took flight. He did not need a running start, nor did he need to jump down from a high place and use rising air currents to get airborne.

He flew higher and higher, finally stopping atop a skyscraper.

"Strictly speaking, I Can also swing around like Spider-Man, but flying is still way more exhilarating!"

Chang Wei had only flown for a few hours, yet he had already fallen in love with the activity and the feeling. Looking down upon the earth, he felt as though he had become a god.
