I Am the Zombie King!

The big shots behind the observation window watched Li Wei's performance below with expectant gazes; the success of the experiment would determine whether they could truly obtain a method to extend their lifespans.

Whether they were dressed in military uniforms, suits, or lab coats, everyone held their breath, quietly observing Li Wei down below.

Li Wei had no way to scream; his throat was too painful to move, and his lungs, having been dissolved by the virus, were currently restructuring into entirely new organs.

Strange fluids constantly flowed from his body, and the hospital bed quickly became soaked; the process lasted for a full twenty minutes.

During these twenty minutes, Li Wei went from pain to enjoyment, and finally to comfort; the process was like working overtime at the office one second and suddenly being at a hotel laying a foundation the next.

Going from one extreme to the other!

This dazed state of mind lasted for a full quarter of an hour, only ending when the mist of blood before his eyes vanished and he could clearly see his surroundings again.

But the next second, his expression went blank for a moment, because a key had appeared before his eyes.

This key looked very much like an exquisite toy and was extremely familiar, as it was the very key he had used to open his own door before transmigrating here.

A progress bar appeared next to the key, and it hadn't moved up even a fraction!

Li Wei subconsciously reached out, wanting to grab the key, but suddenly encountered resistance, followed by several popping sounds as the leather straps securing his arms snapped one by one.

Only then did he remember that he seemed to have been strapped to a metal bed...

Seeing his hands freed, then looking at the key that he could see but not touch, Li Wei slowly began to feel the changes in his body.

After experiencing it carefully, Li Wei exerted force throughout his entire body, and the leather straps and metal rings securing him began to snap one by one.

The people behind the observation window saw this and, far from being worried, became even more excited.

The virus could provide powerful strength; this was what they had hoped to see. As for whether there would be danger?

They hadn't even considered it; the glass was the finest American-made bulletproof glass, a full twenty centimeters thick, and it wouldn't be easily pierced. By all logic, glass of this strength was enough to withstand any attack from an infected subject.

Breaking free from his restraints, Li Wei stood firmly on the ground again, his body feeling better than ever before, even giving him the illusion that he had become a superhero.

There was a viscous sensation when he waved his hand. He stayed where he was, swung his arm, and grabbed the mechanical arm of the hospital bed; with a slight exertion of force, the machinery twisted in a way visible to the naked eye.

"I've become stronger... and I'm not bald."

As Li Wei was experiencing his own changes, Raymond's excited voice came through the loudspeaker.

"Let us see the power of the Redlight Virus!"

Li Wei raised his head, squinting his eyes as he looked at the smug Raymond.

Facing Li Wei's gaze, Raymond did not dodge or hide, merely smiling arrogantly, his eyes looking as if he were viewing his own property.

Heh!

Li Wei sneered inwardly; he would make Raymond, and everyone above, experience the same pain he had gone through.

Revenge is a wonderful thing, not as unbearable as some works claim it to be!

Beep!

The red alarm light inside the Octagon Laboratory lit up, the iron doors surrounding the area slowly rose, and the roars of beasts slowly reached Li Wei's ears.

These howls, mixed in with the clanging of the iron doors, were very faint, but the current Li Wei could extract them from the sound of the doors; this feeling was truly magical.

Three of the iron doors rose, and over a dozen naked figures walked out from within, both male and female, their bodies showing varying degrees of mutation.

One hand had grown into a claw, two legs were thick and long, the body was filled with flab, the face was covered in dark red veins, and the teeth were protruding.

Infected!

Li Wei clenched his fists, but quickly relaxed them.

Because he could control these infected!

This was a magical feeling, like a mental link; he could clearly sense the state of each infected subject and could also control them.

"These are the failed products created by the Redlight Virus."

The thoughtful Raymond cleared up Li Wei's confusion. These were failed products made from viruses cultured using his own body's tissue?

Am I your father?

...I am the Zombie King!

The eighteen infected that had broken free from the iron doors failed to attack Li Wei as the big shots above had intended, and their questioning gazes made Raymond feel a burning pain on his face.

Li Wei looked at these Redlight infected, whose appearances were clearly not as ferocious as the ones he had first seen, and nodded with satisfaction. He then controlled them to line up in a square formation, raised his intact hand, and collectively gave the middle finger to the people behind the observation window.

In an instant, the expressions of most people behind the observation window crumpled, and they began to question Raymond, asking if this experiment was also part of his plan!

Amidst the questioning, several high-ranking officers in military uniforms whispered to each other, and a moment later, they stepped in to bail out the sweating Raymond.

"We are seeing a new advantage of the Redlight Virus now, aren't we? If the infected cannot test the power of the Redlight Virus, then let the soldiers do it." A brigadier general named Panther, with one star on his shoulder, stepped out and pointed at the neatly arranged infected below, highlighting their advantages.

The military representatives nodded in unison. Although modern warfare relied primarily on planes and cannons, if they could possess a bio-chemical army that feared no death, it would undoubtedly be a major breakthrough in military power.

Hearing this, the politicians understood the key point, and their crusade against Raymond temporarily came to an end.

Raymond, having caught his breath under the pressure of the big shots, pressed the control button again, opening all the iron doors.

Li Wei's ears twitched, and he heard an exceptionally violent sound, like that of a ferocious beast.

Without a second thought, he grabbed the metal hospital bed to the side, ripped it from where it was connected to the floor, and hoisted it high above his head.

The officers and politicians, who had been indifferent just moments ago, saw their expressions change drastically in an instant, especially when they caught the mocking look on Li Wei's face, which only made their moods plummet further.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Raymond's forehead; he didn't even say a word before turning and sprinting toward the exit.

The officers were just as quick to react as the lab technicians; the former possessed a keen sense for the battlefield, while the latter dealt with infected creatures every single day—those with slow reflexes had long since been bitten to death.

Li Wei threw the metal bed he had been holding high with all his might. The nearly one-ton hospital bed flew in a straight trajectory, shattering the thick bulletproof glass of the observation window.

Behind him, the iron gate swung wide open, and over a dozen infected creatures, even more hideous than the red-light infected, poured out. In the very last iron cage, there stood a massive, muscular infected creature over two meters tall.

Its thick arms ended in fingers that had transformed into claws with a metallic sheen. The moment it emerged, it pounced toward Li Wei like a tiger stalking its prey.

Li Wei had no intention of tangling with this big guy. Realizing he couldn't control this ferocious monster, he leaped with all his strength onto the observation window frame he had just smashed open.

This type of monster had a very specific name: Hunter.

The Hunter leaped over the spot where Li Wei had been standing and slammed headfirst into the alloy wall; the collision between its skull and the metal produced a deafening, thunderous sound.

"ROAR!" Feeling the sting of rage, the Hunter jumped over ten meters into the air, swiping aside the red-light infected that tried to block its path before leaping out in pursuit of Li Wei.

Upon entering the observation room, Li Wei saw several politicians who had been knocked down by the hospital bed he threw, and with a kick for each, he sent them off to meet their maker.

Hearing the sound of the iron-headed creature below, his vigilance spiked, and he sprinted toward the half-open door ahead.

In the short distance of just over ten meters, he could already feel the extent to which his current body's speed had increased.

Furthermore, he felt absolutely no sense of weakness or lightheadedness; every step he took was vigorous and powerful, even leaving small indentations in the concrete floor, while he felt an invisible pressure on his shoulders stabilizing him, preventing him from flying off with every stride.
