Because Chang Wei wasn't flying very high, and his heat signature didn't reach the level of an engine or exhaust, he naturally wouldn't be detected by radar or anything like that.

Then Chang Wei noticed that the nearby infected zones seemed to have increased considerably, and the Blacklight Virus permeating the air also seemed denser.

"Looks like Mercer found Elizabeth Greene..."

A pair of wings over two meters long stretched from Chang Wei's back. Crouched atop a building, he looked both striking and beautiful.

Especially after Chang Wei learned to use the Blacklight Virus to disguise clothing, he had stopped wearing actual clothes. Now, he had fashioned himself a black priest's uniform. Of course, it wasn't the kind worn by real priests, but a 2D World priest's uniform designed purely for style and looks. In the eyes of religious people, it would have been utterly grotesque.

The kind that would get him burned at the stake.

Chang Wei figured that when he made his entrance, he should switch to a white, pure-white priest's robe, paired with the demon-like Bat Wings on his back. That would definitely make for quite a sight.

"But the most important thing now is finding Elizabeth Greene first. The Redlight Virus..."

Chang Wei began moving. His Super Virus System ensured that he could devour and fuse multiple viruses. The Redlight Virus could be called the Progenitor Virus of the Blacklight Virus. Although it hadn't been developed as a weapon like the Blacklight Virus, with combat abilities so heavily specialized, the Redlight Virus had advantages of its own.

The Redlight Virus's advantages were formidable: extremely powerful reproductive ability, extremely powerful devouring ability, and the perfect ability to break down objects and turn them into part of itself.

The virus possessed extremely strong Self-awareness. Unlike the Blacklight Virus, it didn't require formidable physical qualities and immense mental strength to resist it and integrate it into one's body.

However, Chang Wei soon discovered that finding it wouldn't be so easy. On one hand, Manhattan was far bigger than it was in the game, and he even had trouble finding Mercer's safehouse.

On the other hand, Chang Wei keenly realized that he seemed to have been targeted as well. After devouring an infected person, he learned from its memories that the military had already set its sights on him. It was just that Chang Wei appeared in their field of vision far less frequently than Alex Mercer, so for now, they had merely taken notice and given him the codename "B Prototype."

At the same time, the memories of quite a few infected people revealed that they had once been Black Watch soldiers. They had merely been infected by Elizabeth Greene and turned into infected, which also confirmed that Elizabeth Greene had already escaped.

Unfortunately, none of those infected people's memories contained Elizabeth Greene's whereabouts.

Chang Wei could only silently build up his strength and make himself more powerful.

By now, Chang Wei no longer knew just how strong he was. But in his normal state, he still couldn't kill a Hunter with one punch, so he wasn't satisfied.

It would only be impressive if he could wrestle with a Hunter in his normal form.

Unlike Alex Mercer, who had an upper limit, Chang Wei could use the system to continuously strengthen the Blacklight Virus, as long as he had Gene Points.

So after three evolutions, his Blacklight Virus was actually already stronger than Alex Mercer's Blacklight Virus.

If he and Alex Mercer devoured each other, he would definitely be the final victor.

"I always feel like I've been acting like such a slacker. Shouldn't I stir up some trouble too?"

Chang Wei disguised himself as an ordinary person. He already knew that his photo had been exposed, so he took on the appearance of an infected person—an ordinary-looking one, of course.

Watching Black Watch soldiers slaughter infected from afar, Chang Wei began to itch for action.

"Later, I should evolve my eyes and other senses, make myself some super senses like Superman's."

Chang Wei grabbed a nearby sedan with his bare hands and hurled it at a group of five Black Watch soldiers.

They never expected it. By the time they reacted, it was already too late to dodge, and they were smashed directly into pulp.

Chang Wei then quickly picked up their weapons and aimed at the other Black Watch soldiers.

Their reactions were much faster than in the game. Some had even called for air support, but since Chang Wei had decided to stir things up, he wasn't worried about that.

"Bang!"

His first shot was full-auto. Yet after emptying the magazine, Chang Wei had killed every soldier.

Among the infected people he had absorbed were Black Watch soldiers, all of them elite king-of-soldier level. Combined with his current reaction speed and powerful control, even if he held down the trigger on full-auto without letting go, he could ensure that every bullet precisely took down an enemy.

In the game, Chang Wei had always loved picking up Black Watch weapons to shoot Black Watch soldiers. With accuracy that high, it was basically aim-lock. Who wouldn't enjoy that?

In reality, it was terrifying. After all, everyone knew the rate of fire of a fully automatic weapon. With dozens of bullets fired per second, in the time it took to blink, every Black Watch soldier at the scene had been shot in the head by Chang Wei.

With all the soldiers at the scene killed by Chang Wei, the infected immediately burst through the defensive line. But at that moment, two helicopters arrived as well.
