Chapter 1158 It's actually a human-beast!
Central Plains Theater Joint Command Center
The representatives from the three war zones stared blankly as the "biological weapons" on the screen smashed through the obstacles with overwhelming force, swept away the scattered resistance with ferocious movements, and plunged into the disgusting mutated ant colony like a hot knife through butter...
With each claw strike, each pounce, the pure and efficient destructive intent seemed to shatter the screen, rushing towards you...
This visceral display of violence, which transcends human capabilities, is absolutely chilling and soul-shaking!
Extremely powerful individual strength + fearlessness of infection + superhuman endurance + human technology...
If the Central Plains Theater can resolve its control issues and avoid spiraling out of control like in science fiction movies... then...
These biological weapons on the screen are simply super weapons of mass destruction for humanity in the face of the apocalypse!
Thinking of all this, Wei Jingfang, commander of the Western Theater Command, slowly turned his head and looked at Gu Chengyuan, who was still calm beside him. His eyes were extremely complicated, mixed with disbelief, deep fear, and a trace of awe that even he himself was unwilling to admit.
He finally understood that cooperation with the Central Plains Theater was by no means a simple alliance between the strong and the weak.
They were facing a colossal entity whose technological advancements had been expanded to include numerous forbidden branches, and whose strength was unfathomable. The level of power it displayed had completely transcended the scope of traditional warfare.
He was willing to guarantee that even the United States before the apocalypse would not have reached this level of technology!
They are able to create living biological weapons, deploy them in actual combat, and achieve such great results!
Thinking about these things, Wu Xianglin, commander of the Southern Theater Command, and others couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding and their fingertips turning icy cold.
He originally thought that the Central Plains Theater Command was only ahead in land and air forces and conventional technology, but now it seems that the other side is carrying out a comprehensive and overwhelming military revolution!
These traditional war zones, however, are still stuck in the mindset of the old era...
Zhou Wei and Wang Zhiming exchanged a glance, both seeing the same horror and a hint of relief in each other's eyes—relief that they had chosen to cooperate rather than confront, for the consequences of opposing such a force were unimaginable.
The hidden fangs of the Central Plains War Zone were finally revealed without reservation at this moment.
The sharpness and terror of these fangs far exceeded everyone's expectations. They were not only aimed at the monster entrenched in the night market, but also deeply penetrated the understanding of every foreign general present, completely reshaping their understanding of the word "power".
...
After a brief silence, suppressed gasps and low murmurs finally broke out in the observation corridor.
Commander Wei Jingfang of the Western Theater Command took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart. He turned to Gu Chengyuan, trying his best to maintain a calm expression, but the shock deep in his eyes was difficult to completely conceal:
"Commander Gu...this...this unit is truly...breathtaking!"
He carefully considered his words, but ultimately couldn't resist probing:
"I wonder how your side... cultivates, or rather, how you control such... powerful biological combat units? This is truly a groundbreaking breakthrough!"
His question was also the biggest question in the minds of all the visiting generals present. Upon hearing this question, they all pricked up their ears and stared intently at Gu Chengyuan.
Upon hearing this, Gu Chengyuan did not show any displeasure at having his secrets exposed. Instead, a faint smile with a slightly complicated meaning appeared on his face.
His gaze remained fixed on the black figures wreaking havoc in the anthill on the screen, and he calmly revealed the answer:
"Commander Wei, and everyone else, I think you may have misunderstood."
He paused, then said clearly and frankly:
"They are not some 'cultivated' biological weapons. They were once human beings."
"what?!"
"Humanity?!"
"How is this possible?! Did the Central Plains Theater conduct human experiments?"
...
These words immediately elicited a chorus of gasps, with disbelief written all over the faces of Wei Jingfang, Wu Xianglin, and the others.
Their strength, speed, and even their fighting style are beyond the realm of humanity!
Gu Chengyuan continued to explain, his voice steady:
"After the apocalypse, in order to survive, some survivors, in extreme hunger or despair, accidentally or were forced to ingest unprocessed raw crystal cores taken from the bodies of zombies or mutated beasts."
'It's a human-beast hybrid?'
'It's Night Demon?'
Gu Chengyuan's words sent a chill down everyone's spine. They were all familiar with the consequences of humans consuming zombie crystal cores, whether from experiments or local cases. It was just that the names used in different war zones were not exactly the same.
However, what they didn't expect was that the mutation they were so vigilantly guarding against... would actually become a deadly weapon in the hands of the Central Plains War Zone?
It's said that those not of our kind are bound to have different hearts... Even if these humanoid creatures or night demons were once human, after their mutation, both their appearance and habits have undoubtedly severed all ties with humans; they are completely two different species...
The differences were so great that Darwin would have called her "Mom" upon seeing her...
How exactly did the Central Plains War Zone ensure their obedience? And why were these ghouls so loyal?
Looking at the silent crowd, the next second, a heavy, compassionate tone quietly rose in Gu Chengyuan's voice:
"The consequences of consuming zombie crystal cores should not be a secret to anyone here."
"The vast majority of people die on the spot due to genetic collapse, or mutate into mindless monsters. But... a very small number of exceptionally talented individuals, or rather, those with incredible luck, survived the impact of the crystal core's violent energy."
His gaze swept across the screen as a special operations soldier tore soldier ants apart:
"They survived, but their bodies underwent irreversible...mutations. They gained superhuman strength, speed, and regenerative abilities, but also physical changes, as well as...a continued dependence on the energy of the crystal core and some instability on a mental level."
"During its expansion and rescue efforts, the Central Plains Theater discovered these compatriots... teetering on the brink of life and death, viewed as monsters by ordinary people..."
"After careful consideration by the theater command, we ultimately did not treat them as a threat and strike them, but instead tried to engage with and guide them, and finally... accepted them!"
"In the eyes of us in the Central Plains Theater, they are still our comrades-in-arms, human warriors, just in a different form, fighting against this damned apocalypse!"
"So we trained them and equipped them with custom-made armor and weapons, and organized them into special operations forces so that they could use their own strength to reclaim the land that belongs to humanity and protect more of their fellow citizens!"
Pah pah pah pah——
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of applause spontaneously erupted throughout the hall. Regardless of their inner thoughts, at this moment, everyone present was deeply moved by the Central Plains Military Region and by the magnanimity and spirit of this young commander...
Because in their attitude towards these distorted compatriots, they were indeed inferior to the Central Plains War Zone...
Not only did they fail to adopt an open and inclusive attitude, but they also adopted an extremely conservative and confrontational approach from beginning to end...
I wish I could eradicate it completely!
