Returning to Base

Lin Feng devoured everything inside the Dark Elves' spaceship cockpit, then turned off the ship's holographic imaging.

He didn't want to pay attention to what happened to Thor and Loki afterward.

Next, he'd head back to base.

Lin Feng activated the ship's external real-time monitoring, watched Sunny and the other ordinary people walk away, and then he manipulated the ship to slowly take off.

Although he didn't know why Thor and Loki hadn't taken the ship, it was a bargain for him.

Lin Feng got a spaceship for free, and he could use its technology to research even more new things.

The long, slender ship slowly rose, as if suspended directly by gravity.

The part of the ship stuck in the grass continued to rise, and the dirt clinging to its outer shell constantly fell off under an unknown force.

Until the matte-textured outer shell of the ship was revealed.

Then, the entire long, slender ship flew into the air and slowly turned.

Lin Feng continued to press a few buttons on the console, and a ripple-like fluctuation began to appear in front of the ship.

The entire ship was like a leaf caught in a whirlpool on a lake, and a mysterious spatial force changed the shape of the ship.

The next moment, the ship disappeared instantly, leaving only the silent university and a mess on the ground.

Siberia, somewhere in the cold, snowy land.

In the sky filled with flying snowflakes, a spaceship was suddenly squeezed out of the air.

This suddenly appearing ship broke the silence here. On the empty snowfield, a few white, wooden figures seemed to have noticed the movement here and walked towards it.

"Whew, this ship is quite easy to control."

Lin Feng thought that the Dark Elves' spaceship would be difficult to control. After all, that guy Thor had controlled the ship and knocked off his grandfather's statue's head.

But to Lin Feng's surprise, the ship was unexpectedly easy to control.

He looked at the familiar scene presented by the ship and felt a burst of joy in his heart.

But after the joy, Lin Feng was attracted by the few slowly moving figures on the snowfield below.

This place is surrounded by the sea, plus the extremely low temperature, so hardly anyone would come here.

Where did these figures come from?

Lin Feng got out of the ship with a hint of doubt, took the elevator-like lowering device all the way down until he reached the bottom of the ship, and then slowly stopped.

The ship extended a downward ramp from both sides of the elevator with a series of clicks. Lin Feng walked down from it, his eyes gazing at the figures in the distance in the heavy snow.

"They don't look like people..."

Lin Feng's Pulse Sense quickly activated, like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

The rapidly spreading ripples quickly returned after hitting these figures, feeding back to Lin Feng's mind.

Lin Feng looked at the information that Pulse Sense gave him and frowned slightly.

These figures were walking in the snow, staggering, with strange gaits, one high and one low.

Moreover, in the imaging of Pulse Sense, their limbs seemed to have missing parts, and they didn't look like disabled people either.

Lin Feng's eyes slowly lit up with a blood-colored light. He wanted to see what these guys were.

After a few minutes, Lin Feng finally saw the first figure who had passed through the heavy snow and arrived in front of him.

In the human figure covered with a layer of white ice and snow, a frozen white face had no vitality.

The gray eyes were filled with instinctual greed and bloodlust, and the stiff limbs moved straight, dragging a long trail in the snow.

This was obviously a Zombie.

But Lin Feng's base was in a very remote place on Earth. If there were Zombies even here, what would other places be like?

Lin Feng sensed slightly, and there was a little bit of his Blacklight Virus in this Zombie's body.

Not much, but it was definitely there.

If he wasn't sensitive, he wouldn't have felt it.

At the same time, there was more than just this one virus in this Zombie's body.

Lin Feng also felt other different viruses. These viruses didn't have the activity of the Blacklight Virus, and they relied purely on quantity to occupy the dominant position in this Zombie.

To know the other viruses in the Zombie, Lin Feng would have to dissect it.

"Ugh..."

In the few minutes that Lin Feng was thinking in place, this Zombie finally moved in front of him.

He saw this Zombie scratching at Lin Feng with its hands frozen into ice lumps. The stiff fingers, which could hardly move, brushed lightly across Lin Feng's cheek like a caress, with no lethality at all.

"With this kind of strength, how could humans lose?"

Lin Feng stretched out his finger and gently flicked the Zombie's arm. He didn't use much force.

He saw that the Zombie's arm was as fragile as thin ice and shattered instantly.

With this kind of strength, humans could kill it even with a broom.

Lin Feng's confusion grew. The memories he had devoured from the big man contained little about human resistance.

Those people had accidentally stumbled into a Dark Elf ship after the zombie outbreak.

Not knowing how to operate it, they had simply stayed there, surviving on cannibalism for the better part of a month.

It seemed Lin Feng needed to do some investigating to understand the cause and course of the zombie outbreak.

"Come back with me. My base has some of your predecessors. Remember to say hello when you meet them."

Lin Feng fiddled with the controls at the entrance of the Dark Elf ship, setting it to something like neutral after starting a car.

Then, he strolled leisurely through the snow towards his base.

The zombie behind him, along with a few others that had just arrived, followed him step by step into his base.

Lin Feng opened the base's gate, feeling a slight sense of relief as he looked at the base, which hadn't changed much since he left.

"Welcome back, sir."

Black Doctor's voice sounded pleasantly. Lin Feng checked the items inside the base.

Luckily, the Mind Stone was still here, as was the Tesseract, which no longer contained the Space Stone. Nothing else was missing either.

It seemed no one had been here. Black Doctor had done its job.

"Has Sun Wukong been back?"

Lin Feng looked up at the large circular hole in the base's ceiling, caused by Sun Wukong accidentally activating the Bifrost.

That planet-destroying energy had easily pierced through Lin Feng's defenses, whisking him away from the base and into space.

"No, sir. No one has been here since you left. Many things have happened on Earth. Would you like me to play them for you?"

Black Doctor's intelligence seemed to have evolved. Without Lin Feng asking, it could provide some of the information Lin Feng wanted.

Lin Feng's initial design for Black Doctor was that of a learnable, interactive AI butler, but he had set a limit to its evolution.

In other words, Black Doctor's intelligence would have a limit, beyond which it could not evolve.

This was to avoid the birth of an AI like Ultron.

"Yes."

Lin Feng went to his usual chair. He looked at the chair, which was free of dust, and sat down with satisfaction.

It seemed those little robots weren't designed in vain. They were pretty good as cleaners.

"These are the things that mainstream media on Earth have been reporting since you left, regarding the zombie incident. This planet no longer belongs to humans."

Lin Feng watched the three-dimensional projection in front of him, which showed a foreign female reporter on the front lines.

In the dark night, the foreign female reporter was in the middle of a report. Behind her, in the chaotic crowd, several people who looked like zombies were hopping around.

These people were hopping more than three feet high, with pale faces, fangs at the corners of their mouths, and what appeared to be white fluff growing on their bodies.
