Chapter 377: Chapter 123 Officer Huang, has your steadfast philosophy endowed you with wisdom?

Several days later.

Video conference of the three major bases.

The top experts watched the screen, where a transport vehicle was driving on a desolate road, with two zombies appearing ahead, one of which was a Powerful Zombie, and the other a common zombie.

The transport vehicle slowly came to a stop.

A figure emerged, appearing as if straight out of a futuristic world of War Armor, completely covered in black metal and carrying a straight sword on his back with a black cloth tied on the hilt, fluttering in the wind.

As he appeared, the common zombie following the Powerful Zombie turned its head, letting out a series of roars, and then rapidly charged towards the mysterious armor.

Facing the oncoming zombie, the mysterious armor didn’t move, but when the zombie got close, one metal-covered fist suddenly hammered down on the zombie’s head, and with a bang, the common zombie’s head burst open like a watermelon.

The top experts from the three major bases, watching the screen, showed expressions of astonishment.

Hope flashed in their eyes.

Professor Xia slowly said, "This is an energy-covered War Armor, an extension of the exoskeleton system. It’s not just version 2.0 but a culmination of human ingenuity—a new War Armor for combating the apocalypse, which I call Dragon Armor. Its capabilities are far beyond this, just keep watching."

In the screen.

The Eagle, clad in Dragon Armor, reveled in the strength brought by technology and the crystals, experiencing an exhilaration he’d never felt before, even when facing the distant Powerful Zombie without the slightest panic.

He used to need to cooperate with Ye Hong to barely manage to kill a Powerful Zombie, but now, he was confident he could easily dispatch his opponent.

"Hehe..."

The Powerful Zombie roared angrily, charging towards the Eagle.

The Eagle slowly drew the straight sword from his back, which had absorbed seventeen crystals, while the Dragon Armor had absorbed nineteen, resulting in a full-scale enhancement that was unimaginably powerful.

It was also maxed out to the extreme.

This was after Professor Xia’s research had found that when the sword Lin Fan carried, called "Frost’s Sorrow," was placed on the ground, no one but Lin Fan himself could lift it.

This situation was critical, and after experiments, they found that once twenty crystals were absorbed, it would be impossible for a human to move it, which was also a waste of twenty crystals.

Twenty was a threshold.

Up to now, Professor Xia still didn’t understand why this happened and could only attribute it to some form of qualitative change.

As the Powerful Zombie drew closer, the Eagle, holding the straight sword, turned sideways, and with a slash, he severed the Powerful Zombie’s arm; at the same time, the angry Powerful Zombie violently turned and its other arm struck the Eagle with explosive force.

In the past, the Eagle would have been knocked flying by this immense strength.

But now, he emerged unscathed, merely taking a few steps backward before sweeping his sword at the Powerful Zombie’s waist, slicing through it as if cutting tofu, and halving the creature, its viscous blood pouring out.

With a loud thud.

The Powerful Zombie fell to the ground.

The Eagle, holding the sword, sliced open the Powerful Zombie’s head to retrieve the crystal, knowing that the footage was being broadcast live, he shook the crystal in his hand as if to say, "It’s simple, I’ve already dealt with it."

At this moment.

The people in the conference room were stunned by the scene before them.

They had never thought killing an Evolutionary Zombie could be this simple.

There seemed to be no challenge at all.

Professor Xia was very calm, as for what was happening, he considered it quite normal; after all, using so many crystals, if they still had trouble fighting a Powerful Zombie, it would truly be a sign of despair for humanity.

"Ladies and gentlemen, humanity’s future starts now. Although for now there is only one set of Dragon Armor, I firmly believe that as long as we press on with hope, there will be more Dragon Armors to come," he said.

His words acted like a shot of adrenaline, deeply piercing the hearts of everyone present.

He wanted them to feel hopeful.

But the requirements for wearing the Dragon Armor were high; one must be a King of Soldiers in the military to unleash its full potential. Ordinary people wearing it could not meet the physical, neural response, or combat experience requirements. However, now the survivors who met the requirements for wearing the Dragon Armor were truly few.

...

Sunshine District.

The first book club meeting in the District officially began, with the children stepping up to recite in an orderly fashion, some quoting ancient poetry while others gave readings.

The adults sat on small stools with smiles on their faces, watching; to them, life as it was now was beyond their expectations—was this really something one could experience in a post-apocalyptic world?

While other survivors struggled to live day by day in the apocalypse.

They were cracking seeds, drinking tea, and watching the children’s performances leisurely, immersed in joy.

Jiang Wei and Lu Pin stood in a corner, looking at everything before them, feeling a sense of illusion, almost as if it were unreal. They were survivors brought back by Lin Fan recently and were enjoying the benefits here.

Initially, they were prepared to toil and work frantically in Sunshine District or be managed by others, needing to act according to others’ moods.

But now, their reality felt incredibly surreal.

In the morning, they could drink porridge, eat bread, and do whatever they wanted, even sleep in without anyone batting an eye. Could this post-apocalyptic life really be the same as what they experienced before?

They looked up to that god-like figure who had brought all this to life, bringing a different quality of life to the people here.
