Chapter 1881: Chapter 808: Purifying Fire, Zombie Crisis Resolved

Wang Tao made his way to the Hope Laboratory where he located Qu Shilin.

“You’re here—”

Qu Shilin offered a quick greeting before noticing Wang Tao gesture toward her with his hand. Suddenly, a flood of memories surged into her thoughts.

Qu Shilin froze for an instant, then impulsively embraced Wang Tao tightly.

“What’s the matter?”

Wang Tao grinned while gently stroking Qu Shilin’s hair.

“Memories from my previous life came back to me! How on earth did you manage that?”

Qu Shilin stared intently at Wang Tao.

As the recollections from both existences merged, Qu Shilin’s affection for Wang Tao grew even stronger.

“It’s merely a minor skill unlocked after reaching the Ninth Level.”

Wang Tao appeared utterly composed.

Yet Qu Shilin found herself shocked once more by his statement.

“Ninth Level? You’ve reached the Ninth Level?”

Qu Shilin believed she had misheard, considering the Ninth Level stood as the ultimate achievement!

Next, she watched Wang Tao confirm with a nod.

“Indeed, I’ve attained the Ninth Level.”

“That’s incredible!”

Qu Shilin gazed at him with eyes brimming with awe. Wang Tao had been powerful in their former life, but now in this one, he had eclipsed his previous self!

“I owe it all to you and the others. Without your willing sacrifices back then, I wouldn’t possess this chance now.” Wang Tao bent forward to plant a kiss on Qu Shilin’s forehead, then inquired, “How much Super Serum has been manufactured so far?”

“We’ve kept the production going non-stop and accumulated a substantial amount already…”

Qu Shilin retrieved a document that detailed the output and remaining quantities of the Super Serum.

Wang Tao scanned it quickly and passed it back to her.

“Good, collect every bit of the Super Serum. I’m about to begin wiping out the zombies.”

Even at Level 8, Wang Tao had the ability to purge zombies, yet the Elemental Monsters had prevented him from doing so fully. With most of those threats now vanquished and his elevation to the Ninth Level, the zombies had outlived their purpose. Particularly with his enhanced Ninth Level strength, he could accomplish this far swifter than before!

“Understood!”

While Qu Shilin organized the Super Serum, Wang Tao departed from the Changhe Base and soared upward into the heavens.

Thanks to his Ninth Level velocity, he pierced the atmosphere in mere moments.

Surveying the expansive cosmos ahead, Wang Tao plunged forward. But—he swiftly reappeared at his starting point.

“… Still trapped inside!”

Witnessing the Air Wall repel him back, Wang Tao’s face darkened.

He had mulled over earlier if this Air Wall encircling Earth aimed to bar humans from escaping or to confine them within.

Should it be the first case, perhaps Ninth Level beings lurked in the void, allowing departure only after Ninth Level attainment. After all, the Ninth Level marked evolution’s zenith, and no rivals challenged Wang Tao on the planet. Furthermore, Earth could hardly sustain multiple Ninth Level entities; any such would likely dwell elsewhere.

If the second scenario held true, sealing humanity in, then Ninth Level ascension wouldn’t grant freedom.

Yet here he was, at Ninth Level, and still bound!

Thus… was humanity truly imprisoned on Earth? Similar to how he pursued monsters in subterranean Rifts, might alien hunters target humans from outside?

Wang Tao experimented at various spots but remained unable to escape. Even at Ninth Level, confinement on Earth persisted.

…

Upon Wang Tao’s return to Changhe Base, Qu Shilin had assembled all the Super Serum.

“This much?”

Astonished by the numerous crates of Super Serum, Wang Tao was momentarily taken aback.

Qu Shilin clarified:

“The ingredients for these Super Serums aren’t hard to find; the challenge lies in the assembly process. However, with a complete assembly line operating around the clock and no usage depleting stocks, we’ve built up this quantity… I’m uncertain if it suffices…”

Wang Tao planned to distribute this Super Serum worldwide to eradicate every zombie. Qu Shilin trusted fully in Wang Tao’s prowess, fretting solely over potential shortages.

“It ought to suffice; we’ll handle any shortfall later.” Wang Tao seized the Super Serum, pondered for a second, and declared, “We’ll commence right here.”

Thereupon, Wang Tao ascended into the air and exhaled frosty breath onto the handful of Super Serum vials he held.

Crack—

The Super Serum froze swiftly, and a blaze sparked in his palm.

Catalyzed by the Super Serum, a vast plume of golden vapor erupted from Wang Tao’s hand. Yet the mist only blanketed a limited zone, insufficient for broad coverage.

Subsequently, the flame in Wang Tao’s palm surged dramatically, igniting the entire firmament in an instant.

Concurrently, an enormous tempest swirled around Wang Tao. Gusts propelled the inferno, which raced outward relentlessly.

Controlled precisely by Wang Tao, these flames posed no threat to humans, but for assurance, he infused his fresh Ninth Level ability, the Life Principle. A subtle, almost imperceptible emerald sheen blended into the blaze, propagating alongside the conflagration and Super Serum.

In that instant, the inhabitants of Changhe Base stood stupefied. The sky engulfed in fire made them fear apocalypse’s arrival.

Particularly as the Crystal Energy Barrier permitted these flames inside, causing widespread alarm in the base.

However, they quickly discerned the flames’ mild warmth, far from scorching, and rather than injuring, they mended concealed wounds!
