"Ok?"

Before Smith, whose expression had changed drastically, could say anything, a bone blade that popped out from the corner easily pierced his head and pinned him firmly to the wall. Only his astonished gaze remained fixed on the departing figure.

Walking to the now empty experimental platform, Lin Yi gave an instruction to the being in his mind: "God, how is the progress?"

[100% capable of manufacturing T-virus gene compound drugs]

"let's start."

As a large amount of stored energy flowed within his body, a deep blue light swirled endlessly in front of him...

Forbidden Zone of Life: Chapter 96 Galio

My name is Alex Mercer, and I am the source of all these events.

They say I'm a murderer, a monster, and a terrorist, and I am all of those identities.

Three weeks ago, someone released a deadly virus at Pennsylvania Station, and I woke up in a morgue.

Now, I hunt, I kill, I absorb, I become.

I will find out who did these things to me, and I will make them pay for it...

Sixth World, USA, New York, Manhattan.

Day 21 after the virus spread.

The word "order" was invented and given meaning by humankind, but when humankind ceases to be human, it naturally loses its space to exist. At least for Manhattan, where over 95% of the residents are currently infected by the virus, the so-called order has become a beautiful memory of the past depicted on paper. Or perhaps it should be said that the order belonging to humankind has collapsed, while the order belonging to the "virus" has begun to be established...

The U.S. government, as the owner of this city, has exhausted every means at its disposal in the three weeks that the virus has gradually eroded. From the initial deployment of regular troops to the later entry of armored forces, and even the use of high-powered weapons, all of these measures have ultimately failed.

It may be powerful enough for the fragile human body, but it is still too weak for the "virus" in Manhattan—the final result of experiments combining four worlds. Instead, it has accelerated the evolution of the virus, so much so that almost everyone has given up on repairing the city and has begun to seek another solution.

One of the proposals was presented to Congress.

"Use nuclear weapons."

"Are you crazy? Using a nuclear bomb against your own people?!"

"Are you the only one who thinks those monsters infected by the virus are one of our own? Do you see clearly? In just three weeks, they have infected hundreds of thousands of people and destroyed the entire Manhattan. If it continues to spread, how long can America hold out?"

"...This cannot be a reason for us to use nuclear weapons to attack our own city, especially since there are still many innocent people inside who did not have time to evacuate."

"Even if they escape, there's no guarantee they won't be infected. Only nuclear weapons can wipe out those evils along with the virus!"

……

Representatives from both parties argued back and forth, but were eventually interrupted by a light cough: "Excuse me, Your Excellency, the problem in Manhattan is not actually that bad. What we really need to solve is not the 95% of infected residents. Those infected people can be eliminated as long as we have the equipment and time. The only thing that needs to be solved is this."

As he spoke, he placed a document on the table in front of them.

“Alex Mercer, we suspect he is the one who initially spread the virus, and he is now the most powerful source of the virus in the entire Manhattan area. Tests have shown that just one drop of his blood can infect 2000 people. If it appears outside of Manhattan, it will be a disaster.”

"Then what are you waiting for? Kill it right now!"

"I'm sorry, that's impossible."

Glancing at the ashen-faced senator, the general had to explain: "In the past three weeks, we have lost twenty-seven helicopters, fifty-three tanks, and more than a thousand fully equipped elite soldiers to it, but in the end we still failed to kill it. With the power we currently possess, we have no weapon other than nuclear bombs that can kill it."

A deathly silence fell over the room. Just as the council members who had opposed dropping a nuclear bomb on Manhattan were about to vote in favor, a low voice rang out: "Black Watch, maybe they have a way."

"Ander, watch your words."

A cold gaze swept over the speaker; the congressman was practically begging him to leave the room, a sentiment probably shared by everyone present.

As the person in charge at the scene of the incident three weeks ago, he not only failed to handle the aftermath properly in a timely manner, but also hindered the military's actions, causing the situation in Manhattan, which was originally under control, to spiral out of control due to the spread of the virus.

Especially Alex Marshall, the biggest source of the virus, was initially in a state of suspended animation due to the early stages of infection. If he had been dissected and soaked in formalin at that time, things wouldn't have turned out this way. However, because of his "24-hour" requirement, Alex Marshall "revived" and escaped from the laboratory, and the virus carriers spread throughout Manhattan, leading to the current situation where it seems there is no way to deal with it except with nuclear weapons.

Having experienced the rollercoaster of emotions over the past three weeks, Ander was well aware of his current predicament. He didn't argue with his superiors' difficult behavior, but simply repeated with a last glimmer of hope, "Alex Marshall was originally a researcher under the Blackwatch. If the virus was indeed spread by him, then the company that produced the virus must know how to handle this situation."

"I'm sorry, Lord Ander, my soldiers searched all of Blackwatch's territory two weeks ago and found nothing but a bunch of fully formatted hard drives."

"Then let's find their boss!"

"boss?"

"Yes, the entire Blackwatch was built by him and served his personal purposes. Once we find him, we can definitely find out about Alex Marshall."

"Who is he?"

"I don't know, but I know his name."

"Gallio."

Forbidden Zone of Life: Chapter 97 Forbidden Zone of Life (1)

Some things will always go against plan.

"...God, how long have I been asleep?"

[528 hours 11 minutes 52 seconds]

"22 days..."

Pushing open the sealed hatch in front of him, Lin Yi, who hadn't breathed in a long time the not-so-fresh air, suddenly frowned: "The virus has spread?"

Currently, 99.1% of Manhattan residents have been infected with the virus.

"..."

Upon receiving this data, Lin Yi fell silent, not because the virus displayed such a powerful infectivity. After all, both the first and second variants of the T virus showed extremely strong infectivity and spread. It was reasonable that such a rapid spread would occur after combining the four viruses. The reason for his silence was simply because the plan had deviated from its intended course.

In conclusion, Lin Yi's approach of eliminating all those who had direct contact with the virus at the train station did not have the desired effect. The virus, developed by combining four virus prototypes, was too powerful in spreading. Even tiny molecules floating in the air could easily turn a healthy human being into a beast that only knew how to eat and destroy.

The native's act of smashing the test tube was so decisive and swift that Lin Yi was unable to isolate the spreading odor molecules in time.

"This can be considered an inevitability within a coincidence."

He chuckled self-deprecatingly and strolled out of the somewhat dilapidated building, which had been neglected for years, and went straight to the rooftop.

"Originally, I didn't intend to continue spreading the virus in this world. After all, I already had enough samples and experiments. I simply wanted to operate this world as a research institute. I didn't expect that even though I didn't try to change it, it changed itself..."

As far as the eye could see, the black smoke from the burning flames shrouded the entire city in a gloomy and terrifying shadow, making it impossible to discern the bustling and prosperous scene of three weeks ago. Only the trace of a five-kilometer-long passage that one could inadvertently catch could confirm that what one was seeing was indeed Manhattan.

—And so, Pandora's fifth box was opened.

Silently watching the scene unfold like the end of the world, just as he was about to order the main god to bid farewell to this world that had lost its value, Lin Yi was startled by a piece of information he suddenly caught in the air.

"...God, what is this?"

Virus carriers

"I know, the problem is—is there a second individual besides me who has been infected in the 'forbidden zone'?"

[This is an incorrect assessment. The virus carrier is infected with an incomplete, 'forbidden zone' virus; the two are not comparable.]

even so……

Looking into the distance, the sounds of explosions and shockwaves echoed among the towering buildings, interspersed with inhuman roars, along with that slightly familiar scent.

"...What is the probability that the Supreme God has ventured into the 'forbidden zone'?"

Based on known information, there is a 0.017% probability that this infected individual will evolve into the 'Forbidden Zone' virus.

After determining this number, Lin Yi made a decision.

"Get rid of it; at least life in this world shouldn't be wiped out."

【Command confirmation】

----------segmentation----------

Robert Hoss felt his luck was good enough to buy a lottery ticket—in a negative sense.

Having just received a secret mission from the general, they unfortunately encountered Manhattan's number one enemy at the moment—Alex Marshall—on their way there.

Naturally, a fierce battle ensued between soldiers tasked with eliminating the virus and monsters aimed at wiping out humanity. However, the outcome, without any doubt, tipped in favor of the "evil" side.

Only by getting up close can one truly understand how terrifying this monster, dubbed the source of the virus, really is.

Bullets couldn't even touch its body; it was running faster than the fastest tanks. Even if you were lucky enough to get a few hits, it was meaningless because it couldn't leave any wounds. Only high-powered anti-materiel weapons could effectively harm this monster. However, after sacrificing more than twenty soldiers to finally weaken it, the monster brutally severed a living person at the waist and absorbed their essence, then became lively and vigorous again. Even the tiny nicks on the blades that transformed its arms disappeared.

Conversely, the soldiers' own body armor was completely useless. Even heavy armored tanks were easily pierced and torn apart by that huge arm blade, let alone metal defenses that were only a few millimeters thick. After the monster transformed its hands into claws, its efficiency in slaughtering soldiers more than doubled. Until the last soldier was brutally dismembered, it was finally Robert Hoss's turn as the commander.

"Damn monster. First release by Ling*@-m!e#n$g%Dream^"

Watching the bullets bounce off its raised blade with ease, Robert Hoss, having discarded his rifle, drew his tactical knife and charged at it with gritted teeth—without a doubt.

Robert Hoss, his chest pierced by a sharp blade, was lifted high. As tentacles extending from Alex Marshall crawled up his body, soon the only trace he left in the world was a pool of blood on the ground.

Alex Marshall, who absorbed Robert Hoss's memories, also obtained what he wanted.

“Blackwatch…Smith…”

Pressing his hand to his head and trying to recall, Alex Marshall, who had been searching for the truth of his past without success all week, felt that he had glimpsed some of the truth.

Contrary to Robert Hoss's belief that it was due to luck, his discovery was not a matter of bad luck or chance. Rather, it was because Alex Marshall, the carrier of the virus, possessed the ability to devour and read the memories of others. With this ability, the newly born virus source constantly searched for its own past and the truth behind the virus's spread, eventually finding Robert Hoss and his secret unit connected to it, and then launching an attack.

Now is the time for it to reap the rewards.

"Galio, I remember that name!"

Half of it was read from memory, and half was awakened by certain fragments deposited in his genes. Alex Marshall suddenly turned around—

"you--"

Some things arrive faster than sight.

"Are you looking for me?"

Forbidden Zone of Life: Chapter 98 Forbidden Zone of Life (Part 1)

The pale white bone gauntlet pressed tightly against Alex's face, slamming him to the ground before he could react. With a sudden tremor beneath his feet, when Lin Yi released his grip and stepped back, there was nothing intact left in the half-meter-deep crater; only a mixture of red and white liquid slowly seeped and dripped down.

However, Lin Yi frowned upon seeing this and asked the being in his mind, "God, can an incomplete 'forbidden zone' have such a great effect?"

[This is a misjudgment; the current viral parasite is receiving global attention, and its overall efficiency has increased significantly.]

"What do you mean? Isn't this world a low-activity world?"

The spread of the virus has caused a shift in the world's will; the current strength of the world's will is between medium and low activity. Host, please remain vigilant.

Before he could express his dissatisfaction with the God's hindsight once again, the scene unfolding before his eyes drew Lin Yi's attention back to the present.

“…I remember now.”

A person without a head cannot live, but if someone is not human, then that's another story.

The humanoid figure lying on the ground continued to writhe along the broken neck, forming the outline of a head like soft mud, and then gradually filling in the details.

In less than two seconds, "Alex Marshall" stood before him once again in its complete form. However, unlike before, it had now clearly found what it was looking for—its memories.

"You're the one who created it."

"You should say that you were created."

Ignoring the infected who were approaching because of the smell of "food," the voice coming from under the pale white armor was deep and calm: "In conclusion, you should thank me, after all, without me you wouldn't even have had the chance to be born."

"...Indeed, but my gut feeling tells me that's not enough."

The outstretched arm gradually mutated, revealing sharp blades formed from flesh and blood beneath the surface, radiating a chilling, terrifying light: "Only by devouring you can I become the true 'me'!"

"Qiang——"

Despite being a derivative of flesh and blood, it was harder than any metal the moment it touched him, making such a sound. As Lin Yi felt the power coming from his arm and the ground beneath his feet crumbling and sinking, he focused on the data that the main god was constantly calculating on his retina.

Alex Marshall

Strength: 300~400

Physical fitness: 450~550

Agility: 150~250

Spirit:? ? ?

Special Ability: Forbidden Zone (incomplete), ? ? ?

"Even with the amplification from the world's will, this multiplier is still far too exaggerated."

Not to mention comparing it to the past, even compared to the present when it has been fully infected with the "forbidden zone" virus, its physical attributes are still far inferior. Lin Yi, who had to take a step back to dissipate this power, frowned as he looked at the sharp blade that was deeply embedded in the ground: "It has been strengthened by at least three times."
