Blacklight Wings

The Rhino Armor Form, with a physique akin to a Titan Demon, exerted an incredibly intense deterrent force upon the Zombie Beasts attempting to ambush Xia Tianming!

Although their brains had been invaded and eroded by the biochemical virus, they still retained, to a greater or lesser extent, some primitive animal instincts.

Therefore, facing a predator that completely crushed them in terms of presence, the rotting bodies of these Zombie Beasts began to tremble, and expressions of fear manifested in their dead-gray pupils.

As for the Hunter, in front of the over-four-meter-tall Xia Tianming in his Rhino Armor Form, it looked more like a pet dog.

It raised its head, looking up at Xia Tianming with expectant eyes, seemingly requesting permission from its master to let it deal with these inferior viral organisms.

Xia Tianming, his face covered by a mask of pitch-black viral matter, did not speak, which served as his consent.

Thus, the Hunter, extremely excited, revealed a ferocious expression once more. It bared its fangs at the huddled, shivering Zombie Beasts and strode toward them with sharp claws.

Following that was an extremely tragic slaughter of the food chain...

Xia Tianming did not pay attention to the petty squabbles of these minions behind him; he turned and continued to move forward.

However, he discovered that on the path ahead, those eerie Zombie Plants and a large number of nearly mindless Zombie Insects were blocking his way.

Their brains, having almost withered away, could not feel fear, so they continued to launch attacks at Xia Tianming, including those Zombie Birds in the sky.

Caw!!!

Flocks of Zombie Crows were the first to dive down at him, like fighter jets making suicide runs!

Infected by the virus, their bodies had grown larger, with an average wingspan exceeding two meters. Their scarlet pupils emitted a heart-stopping bloodthirsty aura, and their sharp beaks had mutated into serrated, saw-like teeth!

If one were to encounter such a flock of gregarious Zombie Crows in the wasteland, no matter how many people there were, it wouldn't be enough to satisfy them; their high-speed diving attacks could even pierce holes through armored vehicles!

But Xia Tianming, facing this flock of screaming, diving Zombie Crows, didn't even spare them a glance. He continued walking forward, letting them crash into him like raindrops, pitter-patter.

The result was as expected: these Zombie Crows, capable of piercing armored vehicles, found their beaks flattened or snapped upon striking his Rhino-armored body. Their pride-and-joy diving attacks failed to cause any impact on Xia Tianming's forward momentum!

He was like a god who had shielded himself from everything in the outside world; nothing around him could stop his footsteps!

The Zombie Crows with broken beaks fell to the ground in droves, flapping about, only to be crushed and subsequently consumed by Xia Tianming's heavy foot!

Perhaps feeling they were too noisy, Xia Tianming finally gave these Zombie Crows, who were launching continuous suicide attacks, some "face."

He raised his right hand, and countless black-red viral tentacles erupted wildly from his palm. They wove and intertwined with each other until they formed a massive Blacklight Virus net!

The gaps between the mesh were no larger than 2x2cm—an obvious "Extinction Net"!

With a slight exertion of his wrist, he launched it into the air. The Blacklight Capture Net seemed to possess a self-consciousness; it spread out rapidly, and with an overwhelming momentum, it enveloped thousands of Zombie Birds in the sky in a single go!

They flapped their wings and struggled frantically within the viral net, emitting ear-piercing shrieks and attempting to use their beaks to snap the highly resilient tentacle mesh, but it was to no avail.

Moreover, the harder they struggled, the faster the viral net tightened. Before long, it had squeezed these thousands of Zombie Birds into a single mass in mid-air!

Xia Tianming grabbed one corner of the Blacklight Virus net and gave it a violent tug!

Rip!!

The Blacklight Virus net was forcibly retracted. The large number of Zombie Birds trapped inside were instantly sliced into countless 2x2cm chunks of flesh. The deafening shrieks stopped abruptly, leaving only a sky full of feathers drifting slowly down...

Finally, the countless chunks of Zombie Bird flesh melted into a liquid state, permeated into the viral net, and were then retracted back into Xia Tianming's body.

Consuming so many bird genes at once caused his body to undergo another mutation!

Xia Tianming shed his Rhino Armor Form and returned to his normal size.

However, his shoulder blades began to bulge at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if something inside his body was restless, about to break out of its shell!

He seemed to feel a wave of extreme pain from his bones twisting, causing Xia Tianming to hunch over and let out a low growl!

Crack!

Two black tumors, like sprouting seeds, pierced through his skin from the inside out, protruding from both shoulder blades!

Then they grew rapidly, transforming into thousands of threads that spread outward, solidified, and eventually formed a pair of Blacklight Wings with a wingspan of over five meters!

This pair of domineering Blacklight Wings was woven entirely from viral tentacles. The surface of the feathers emitted a low-key, noble black-red light, and the sharp edges of the feathers were heart-stopping!

When Xia Tianming straightened his body, the Blacklight Wings fully unfolded. The resulting wind pressure swept through the surroundings, tearing the tall grass within a ten-meter radius to shreds like a sickle, presenting an extraordinary aura of an apex predator!

Now, he had gained the flight capabilities of a bird!

Buzz, buzz, buzz~

Suddenly, a scalp-tingling buzzing sound descended like a dark cloud.

It was the Zombie Insects rushing toward him!

The fist-sized Biochemical Poison Bees tightened their abdomens and fired dense swarms of poisonous stingers from their tails at him!

The Blacklight Wings behind Xia Tianming quickly retracted, wrapping around him to form a natural fortress!

The sharp stingers rained down on the feathers with a pitter-patter, but it was as if they had struck hard alloy; they couldn't cause any damage at all!

Once the enemy finished their volley of stingers, Xia Tianming suddenly spread his Blacklight Wings, instantly whipping up a powerful hurricane that sent the flying Zombie Insects reeling!

He then mimicked the attack style of the Biochemical Poison Bees, retracting his Blacklight Wings and giving them a violent shake!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

Countless viral feathers were launched from his wings like a Gatling gun, instantly shredding the large swarm of Zombie Insects in front of him!

Their remains, along with the viral feathers, melted into viral nutrient fluid and flowed onto the ground. Xia Tianming walked over and absorbed the black liquid; in an instant, the viral feathers on his Blacklight Wings regenerated!

In other words, as long as there was a continuous supply of nutrients, this pair of Blacklight Wings could be used as infinite-ammo long-range firepower!

Meanwhile, the Hunter, which had been hunting in the rear, had almost wiped out all the Zombie Beasts in the tall grass. It stood with its belly bulging high, opened its bloody maw, and let out a satisfied burp, clearly content with this hearty meal.

Now, the Zombie Beasts, insects, and birds in the Biochemical Garden had basically been wiped clean by the two of them!

Only the slow-moving but extremely tall Zombie Giant Trees and other Zombie Plants remained, writhing as they crawled forward to block the path.
