The Great Hero's Daily Life: The Divine Eagle Hero

In the command room, several people in military uniforms were busy at work.

In front of them was a huge electronic screen covered with surveillance feeds from various regions. At that moment, nearly a third of the screens were flashing red alerts.

"Commander!! This is bad! Some escaped after the last battle, and now they've multiplied again!"

The bespectacled, refined-looking man rubbed his temples with a pained expression. After taking a deep breath, he issued orders to everyone in the command room: "Send the Neutrophils over first. The Macrophages will arrive afterward. Have the Memory Cells accompany them, and get the B Cells to make antibodies as quickly as possible! Everyone, stay on alert!!"

Then he announced loudly into the microphone, "An emergency evacuation notice is now in effect. All cells near the lungs and stomach, evacuate immediately!"

"Commander, there are too many infected areas. We need to send in more troops!"

"Notify the bone marrow." The Helper T Cell removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes. He had been forced to stay alert and keep watch for a long time, and he was already exhausted. "Fortunately, our antibodies can deal with these viruses, and they haven't lost their effectiveness."

"Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to contain them. Thankfully, the B Cells always manage to produce antibodies in time." The woman sitting below let out a sigh of relief.

Qi Xiu stopped and listened carefully to the orders coming from the Helper T Cell.

"It's the lungs and the stomach. Where are we going?" Qi Zhi asked. She looked at the cells fleeing in panic around them and frowned.

"The lungs."

[Congratulations, you have unlocked a side quest. Proceed to the lungs immediately and eliminate all zombie viruses and their variants there.]

"Perfect timing." Qi Xiu loaded his ammunition and took a shortcut toward the lungs.

The scene was much the same as last time. At a glance, countless infected cells stood there, chasing after the uninfected cells.

However, the hats on these zombies seemed to be light pink.

"They must be a mutated strain." Qi Zhi hefted her baseball bat, then charged forward.

Qi Zhi smashed the other party's head with one swing. The light-pink hat fled from its host as though for its life, but Qi Zhi knocked it down and crushed it beneath her foot.

Meanwhile, Qi Xiu held up his AKM and fired in a sweeping burst, just as he had last time. Wang Tianyi wasn't here this time, so they could only destroy the viruses through brute force. However, the other B Cells soon arrived on the battlefield.

Aside from bombs, they mostly used flamethrowers and grenades. The flamethrowers were filled with antibodies and could instantly wipe out a large group of enemies. When the grenades exploded, they released a large quantity of antibodies as well.

The White Blood Cells charged straight in for close-quarters combat. Whenever an infected cell was killed, they chose to eat it directly.

With the cooperation of multiple troop types, the battle here soon drew to a close.

"It was still easy to finish. Brother, let's go reinforce the stomach." Qi Zhi stood atop a mountain of corpses and turned to Qi Xiu, but she saw a dangerous scene: a staggering zombie was approaching Qi Xiu from behind. "Brother, behind you!"

"Look out, you two!" Accompanied by this hearty warning, a huge column of water blasted over and sent the zombie plotting against Qi Xiu flying.

"Thanks, B Cell."

The zombie blasted away by the antibody water column hadn't died. It crashed heavily to the ground, then stubbornly climbed back up.

"What's going on?" Qi Zhi looked at the B Cell in confusion.

The B Cell shrugged and straightened his hat. "It must have mutated again. Macrophage, hurry and submit the antigen fragment to Dendritic Cells. I need to hurry and develop a new antibody."

He sounded unusually relaxed, as though he had already grown accustomed to these unexpected situations.

"Huh? Isn't it a big deal when a virus mutates? How can you be so calm?" Qi Zhi asked, puzzled.

"The first time it happened, I was a little nervous too. Later, I found that this virus mutated all the time, so I got used to its pace, and I increased the speed at which I made antibodies as well. It's no big deal. We've already been trained to deal with this series of viruses."

Seeing how breezily the B Cell spoke, Qi Zhi was somewhat astonished.

This really is a zombie virus, right? And it really is a highly dangerous virus, right?

It's actually no big deal?

In other words, has this body already become completely immune to the zombie virus?

Qi Zhi recalled the information she had obtained earlier in the brain. So the experiment on Experiment Subject 001 can be considered a success? She didn't turn into a monster, but her body didn't become stronger either.

This was the first experimental subject. If something had gone wrong during evolution and she had turned into a zombie, that would have been normal.

"Brother, our mission shouldn't be this simple, right? This is a B+ rank mission!"

Qi Xiu frowned. "Let's see how things develop..."

[Congratulations, you have deciphered 10% of the world setting.]

Qi Zhi suddenly heard this and let out a quiet "Huh?" What had she said just now that triggered the deciphering of the world setting?

"There's a very high possibility that this body is already immune to this series of viruses." Qi Xiu voiced what Qi Zhi hadn't said aloud. "We need to go back and notify Tang Yuan and the others."

After discovering the first pink-hatted zombie, everyone barely had time to catch their breath before immediately entering a second battle.

After exchanging blows, Qi Zhi discovered that these pink hats were faster and especially good at darting around and fleeing in all directions.

Under the pink hats' fierce assault, they held out for half an hour by sheer force. At last, the B Cells returned to the battlefield with new antibodies.

After the pink hats were eliminated, no new mutated viruses appeared.

[Congratulations, you have completed the side quest. You have obtained a ten-hour countdown, which will be issued during settlement.]

Tang Yuan took the Blue Hat they had picked up earlier and clamped it onto Wang Tianyi's head.

"What the hell did you put on my head?" Wang Tianyi had still been craning his neck, trying to hear Tang Yuan's plan clearly, when he never expected Tang Yuan to make a move directly.

He reached up and touched it, only to feel a rough surface. The hat was hard, with several bumps on it.

Isn't this a virus? Is Tang Yuan trying to infect me?

Wang Tianyi immediately grew anxious. He suddenly wanted to beat Tang Yuan to a pulp. "You bastard!"

In theory, he shouldn't have felt such intense anger, but his actual anger level had probably already gone through the roof.

As though he had foreseen it, Tang Yuan sidestepped and avoided Wang Tianyi's attempt to grab him by the collar.

"Hahaha, don't get worked up. This is part of the plan. It's fine—I believe this virus can't take up residence in your body."

"Now, you should want to beat me up. I agree to let you hit me, but you have to catch me first," Tang Yuan said.

"What?" Wang Tianyi already felt his mind growing sluggish. The virus was invading him, but not very quickly.

Tang Yuan had already dashed toward the watchtower and was waving at the guards above.

"Help! Help! There's a zombie behind me!!"
