Chapter 263 Zombie General

Yang Fan recognized it immediately.

This was the very building that had continuously produced Skeleton Soldiers on the outer battlefield.

He hadn't expected them all to have been hidden by the opponent inside the Eternal Corpse Mine.

What a pity.

The deity is dead; even if these buildings could still passively produce believers, they would lose their Soul the instant they were born.

If not for the fact that he was of the Human Race and could not receive the faith of these undead skeletons, Yang Fan really wouldn't have minded cultivating a brand-new troop system.

"Master, this is a B-grade building, the Skeleton Soldier Barracks."

Yang Da looked at the vast complex of buildings in the distance, finally revealing a look of realization.

"No wonder we couldn't find them when we were opening up the wasteland."

"So they were all hidden inside the Eternal Corpse Mine."

Subsequently, a look of regret appeared on his face once again.

"It's just a pity that no matter how many there are, it has no meaning."

"These buildings are still of little help to Master's Divine Kingdom."

"In the end, we can only find a way to sell them."

Yang Fan, upon hearing this, did not care.

"It does not matter."

"Seal them all up for now."

"We can find channels later to sell them in bulk and exchange them for divinity points."

After speaking, his gaze remained fixed on the depths of the Eternal Corpse Mine.

At this moment, a thought crossed his mind.

Countless working robots stopped what they were doing, turned away from the cloning nutrient pods, and marched in a grand procession toward the Eternal Corpse Mine.

These Robot Soldiers were extremely efficient.

In just over a month within the Divine Kingdom, the entire Eternal Corpse Mine had been thoroughly cleared.

However, the Death Qi that had accumulated for unknown years in the depths of the mine remained thick, permeating the space between heaven and earth like black fog, refusing to dissipate for a long time.

"Yang Da, does this Death Qi have any effect on zombies?" Yang Fan asked.

His Cultivation and Martial Arts believers could not enter it to Cultivate.

But zombies were different; the Extra-dimensional Research Institute was, after all, only an A-grade building.

Although its area was large enough, it could not accommodate high-level life forms.

This also meant that no matter how thick the corpse qi was inside, it could only nurture ordinary zombies.

As the Divine Kingdom continued to grow stronger, the role of ordinary zombies had become smaller and smaller.

But in the future, he would face more and more alien races.

Except for special races like the Undead Race that were naturally immune to the zombie virus, the vast majority of life forms could be infected.

What Yang Fan truly wanted to Cultivate were zombies that possessed intelligence and thought.

For example, Zombie Generals and Zombie Kings.

Perhaps even in the future, he could pass down methods to Cultivate and transform them into a lineage of jiangshi that followed a special Cultivation Route.

This would become a brand-new fourth path outside of the three major systems of Yang Fan's Divine Kingdom.

"Reporting to Master, there is no effect."

"As a large number of zombies enter, this Death Qi will slowly convert into corpse qi."

Yang Da's face was full of excitement.

Obviously, he had already guessed Yang Fan's thoughts.

Mainly because the recent Divine Kingdom War had either been a one-sided crush or a great battle against the Undead Race.

The zombie legions had almost no chance to perform.

Therefore, even Yang Da had overlooked this direction.

"Go, transfer all the human zombies from the Extra-dimensional Research Institute to the Eternal Corpse Mine."

"As for those monkey-type zombies, throw them all into the Life Essence Conversion Pool, convert them into corpse qi, and then inject it into the mine."

"Also, purchase a large number of cloning nutrient pods, clone alien corpses at the lowest cost, and throw them all into the conversion pool."

"The more corpse qi, the better."

Yang Fan's eyes were deep as he constantly deduced the future development direction of this brand-new system.

Zombies with intelligence, zombie believers who could Cultivate in the future.

These must all be based on the Human Race, because only the Human Race could become his believers.

As for those alien zombies, they naturally lost their value.

They could just be directly converted into corpse qi to make use of the waste.

"Yes, Master! I will arrange it immediately!"

Under the blessing of the Hundredfold Evolution Talent.

Yang Fan had only taken a sip of tea in the real world, and the renovation work in the Divine Kingdom was already completely finished.

The number of ordinary human zombies was about 50 billion.

The remaining monkey-type zombies were all thrown into the Life Essence Conversion Pool, turning into rolling corpse qi.

The cloning nutrient pods had also been expanded by Yang Da to 10 million units.

Every day, a massive number of alien corpses were cloned and then continuously transported to the conversion pool by the Robot Soldiers.

The Extra-dimensional Research Institute was directly listed on the Mall for sale.

The Corpse Flower, Rotting Bone Vine, and other plants planted inside were all transplanted to the Eternal Corpse Mine.

In order to further transform the environment, Yang Da also purchased a large number of Yin-attribute Spirit Plants from the Mall.

In a short period, the entire Eternal Corpse Mine had completely changed its appearance.

Looking out, the sky was gray and devoid of light.

Thick Death Qi and corpse qi intertwined, forming a layer of heavy black fog that completely shrouded the entire heaven and earth.

The ground presented an eerie gray-black color, with countless withered trees growing in twisted shapes, their trunks covered in tumor-like growths resembling human faces.

Corpse Flowers bloomed everywhere, their dark purple petals swaying gently.

Constantly exhaling wisps of corpse qi.

Occasionally, one could see white bones half-buried in the soil.

The entire mine was terrifyingly silent.

Only the wailing sound emitted when the cold wind blew echoed continuously.

Tens of billions of zombies wandered throughout the mine.

Their movements were stiff, and their faces were pale.

Looming in and out of the black fog.

Like countless ghosts wandering aimlessly in Hell.

And the corpse qi permeating the surroundings was constantly being absorbed by them instinctively.

As the corpse qi entered their bodies, their decaying bones gradually became harder.

Their originally yellowed fangs became increasingly sharp, and their pitch-black fingernails continued to lengthen, flashing with a chilling cold light.

Perhaps because they had lived in the Extra-dimensional Research Institute for a long time, the corpse qi accumulated within these ordinary zombies had long since reached its limit.

Now, having lost the suppression of the rules, they finally welcomed the moment of transformation.

Yang Fan watched all of this quietly.

Suddenly, an ordinary zombie let out a low roar.

A large amount of corpse qi surged crazily from all directions, continuously pouring into its body.

Its rotting flesh began to shrink rapidly, while its bones were constantly expanding and strengthening.

Crack!

Crack!

A dense series of bone-cracking sounds rang out continuously, and its originally hunched body slowly straightened.

Its height continued to climb, and its arms became thicker and more powerful.

A layer of faint gray-black keratin even began to emerge on its body.

Several minutes later, the corpse qi gradually subsided.

That zombie slowly raised its head.

In its originally murky and lifeless eyes, a hint of clarity had actually appeared.

It was as if it were a child who had just been born with intelligence.

It was just that in its eyes, besides the clarity, there was also a thick mixture of confusion and bewilderment.

It had successfully achieved a Breakthrough, becoming a true Zombie General.

And such changes were not happening in just one place.

After losing the rule suppression of the Extra-dimensional Research Institute, a large number of zombies that had accumulated for a long time began to Breakthrough simultaneously.

One hundred, one thousand, ten thousand.

More and more Zombie Generals were born, and the thick corpse qi swept across the entire mine.
