A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

The monster puppet switched to its beast form, walking on four claws. Its head had transformed into that of a ferocious beast, with a mouth full of ferocious sharp teeth, like a lizard, but with a longer, curled tail covered with bone fragments like blades.

The monster puppet, which had its body fixed to the glass exterior wall like a gecko, looked down at the situation in the distance.

Similar-looking, but clearly modified zombie mutated individuals are closing in. These mutated zombies possess considerable intelligence and know how to use various light and heavy weapons and vehicles; they're practically a weaker version of Captain America.

With their numerical advantage and coordinated efforts, the monster puppets, which were previously controlled by only one thought circuit, almost failed.

Li Wei, who was controlling the puppet from behind the scenes, was not flustered by the situation. Strictly speaking, the monster puppet was just a consumable item, and he wouldn't feel any heartache even if it was lost here. (Good.) However, he wanted to see what the mysterious organization was up to. After all, it would be very time-consuming and laborious for him to take down a global organization base by base. Since the other party was willing to show itself, he was also willing to have more dealings with them.

Dozens of rockets flew toward the monster puppet, but its mobility allowed it to easily dodge the attack. Its superior dynamic vision and thought speed enabled it to handle the onslaught of numerous mutated individuals with ease.

"Damn, is the Highschool of the Dead worldview going to lean towards Resident Evil? This organization's technology is definitely no worse than Umbrella's." Levi, who was controlling the puppets behind the scenes, sighed inwardly.

The shockwave from the explosion sent the monster puppet flying. High in the air, the puppet twisted its body, and enormous, bat-like membranous wings sprouted from its back, propelling it skyward.

Chapter 210. The First Encounter

The monster puppet's absolute strength is not as great as the other puppet, but Li Wei also put a lot of effort into making this puppet. The monster puppet has a terrifying ability to mutate and adapt, and can change its shape in just a few seconds to adapt to all kinds of external environments.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the monster puppet previously appeared in a humanoid form. In reality, this puppet's true form is a large-sized flesh and blood slime, and its original form is quite sanity-dropping.

It is precisely this amorphous characteristic that prevented it from being instantly killed as it had before.

The rocket struck the building's wall, and the shockwave from the explosion shattered the entire glass wall, spreading outwards from the center of the blast like a vertical wave.

The monster puppet, having dodged the rockets, spread its wings and rapidly ascended. At the same time, its form changed again. Its original lizard-like body structure curled up into a ball, transforming into a huge red fleshy ball. Inside the ball was a structure like a gun, with spikes made of air already packed into the cavity. Activated by magic, the ball was launched.

The monster puppet appears to be a creation of biotechnology, but it is actually a product of cultivation techniques. However, Li Wei deliberately made the puppet so frightening in order to avoid associating it with himself.

The launched spike landed in the center of the mutated group, and a huge explosion rang out. Shockwaves and fire waves followed one after another. The 013 spike, which had a muzzle speed exceeding Mach 6, had a destructive power far greater than that of a typical electromagnetic cannon. In addition, the magical power contained within the spike exploded, and in an instant, the glass of the entire block was shattered, and a large number of zombie mutated individuals were also blown to pieces, leaving only a large crater resembling a meteorite crater in the original place.

Such high energy consumption also puts considerable pressure on the monster puppet, since it is not the original body; its internal mana is depleted with each use and cannot regenerate. In this high-intensity battle, the monster puppet can only sustain itself for a few minutes at most.

After the attack was completed, the roar of engines came from the horizon, and several ground attack aircraft without any faction markings flew towards this direction.

Seeing this, Li Wei, who was controlling the puppet from behind the scenes, did not choose to let the monster puppet fight head-on. The flesh bat instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist, breaking into pieces and scattering to the ground. A large amount of flesh and blood fell to the ground like a rain curtain, quickly flowing into the sewers. In the pipes underground, it reassembled and transformed into a long, slender snake, avoiding a direct confrontation with the opponent.

Li Wei had stockpiled some mana crystals in the Suginami district. The monster puppet was heading towards its "logistics base." First, it needed to make sure it wouldn't run out of power while fighting. After all, it wasn't Unit-01, where it could solve the problem by going berserk. If the puppet was completely out of commission, then it would have to rely on other nearby puppets or the main body to clean up the mess.

The so-called magic crystals are a product that Li Wei invented himself, modeled after the legendary spirit stones, to store magic power. They are somewhat like magic gems, or rather, a variant of magic gems. Li Wei utilized the property that air can be converted into most known substances to mass-produce a batch of rubies. He then infused these gems with his magic power and hid them in batches in various locations within the Tokyo area, allowing his puppets to prolong their combat time.

Just as the monster puppet was rapidly traversing the sewers, the stone slab above its head suddenly collapsed, blocking the sewer passage. The monster puppet's body once again disintegrated into numerous thin threads of flesh and blood, which seeped through the collapsed section, passed through the rubble, and then reformed its body.

Monster puppets with the ability to change their shape are best at dealing with all kinds of complex and ever-changing environments, something that neither Abigail's puppet nor Livy's original body can do.

The monster golem burrowed into the lower levels of the sewer system and, on the ceiling of one of the passages, swallowed a pile of rubies into its body.

Having completed its "recharging," the monster puppet wouldn't have to worry about energy consumption for a while. Li Wei decisively controlled the puppet to charge back. He was the kind of person who didn't like to suffer losses, and since the other side had taken the initiative to come to him, he had to "return the favor."

Limited by the monster puppet's perception range of only about 200 meters, Li Wei controlled the puppet back to the upper pipe area of ​​the sewers and then activated the monster puppet's perception to its limit, quickly locating the mutated individuals above.

Li Wei didn't rush to make a move because he heard some very interesting information through the puppet.

(cgci) "That monster is terrifying. Even we, who have been injected with evolution serum, cannot fight it head-on. Have wild mutant individuals become this powerful?"

"Stop talking nonsense, get your listening devices ready. We absolutely have to find that monster. We've been given a death order: we must bring that wild mutant back."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei sat up.

Takashi Komuro asked curiously, "Teacher, aren't you going to continue resting?"

Li Wei smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered that there is something important that I haven't taken care of yet, so I need to go out first."

After leaving the dormitory, Li Wei went to the warehouse to replenish supplies before leaving the camp. Meanwhile, considering the mysterious organization lurking in the shadows and potentially posing a threat to the camp, Abigail's puppet had already returned from the perimeter to the vicinity of the camp.

After handing a batch of mana crystals to Abigail's puppet, Li Wei quickly headed to Suginami District to support the monster puppet.

Li Wei's maximum speed is extremely fast. Starting from the port area, he arrived at Suginami District in no time. The reason he sent out his main body was because the monster puppet had too many limitations and it was difficult to read the enemy's memories. Therefore, such matters required the main body to take action.

Li Wei arrived directly above the battle zone. Due to the illusion, the mutated zombies below did not notice that there was an extra person above their heads.

Now that Li Wei's main body has arrived at the scene, there is no need for the monster puppet's clumsy perception ability to conduct reconnaissance. Li Wei's main body's perception expands outward, instantly covering the entire war zone.

This time, Li Wei heard it even more clearly: these beings that looked like mutated zombies were not real zombies, but rather beings who had been injected with so-called evolutionary drugs by normal people and had gained comprehensive physical enhancements.

"Did the original author have such a wild imagination? Highschool of the Dead has turned into Resident Evil in an instant. According to the original plot, how can a few high school students fight against such a powerful and mysterious organization?" Li Wei sighed inwardly. It was a pity that the original author of Highschool of the Dead had passed away. He couldn't very well summon the other's spirit to ask about the next plot of the manga.

Even if it's a soul summoning, he doesn't know how to perform this kind of cross-world soul summoning operation.

The mysterious organization members below each carried something that looked like a detector, moving along the ground and roughly keeping up with the slowed-down monster puppet's pace.

Li Wei was still a little surprised. After all, this kind of radar-like device that could detect targets underground was a technology that no major power had mastered. It was easy to imagine how amazing the power of this mysterious organization was.

Moreover, they dared to brazenly use various heavy weapons in the heart of Japan, and even dispatched ground attack aircraft.

Such a grand gesture is something that ordinary forces could never accomplish. Even if Japan is a weak country, it is still a regional military power.

This is tantamount to defecating on Japan's head, but they're incredibly audacious, or rather, they completely disregard the Japanese authorities.

Chapter 211. Gathering Intelligence

Li Wei's main body will not reveal his relationship with the puppet; he will only support it from the shadows. After all, the monster puppet is a target he has placed in the open to draw fire, and he cannot afford to be associated with such a target. "The monster's location has been detected; its movement speed has slowed down!" "Ground attack aircraft, prepare bunker buster missiles!"

Li Wei could only exclaim in disbelief, "Good heavens!" They'd just used a bunker buster! To deal with his puppet, the mysterious organization had even resorted to weapons designed for permanent fortifications.

However, this is not something that ordinary small countries can possess, which shows how powerful that organization is. If the monster puppet is really just a wild mutated individual, it may not be able to defeat these guys.

However, having already acquired a reserve of mana crystals, the monster puppet's endurance has improved, so even being targeted by burrowing bombs isn't a major problem. Furthermore, Li Wei's main body is also present; even if the situation exceeds the monster puppet's capabilities, his main body will secretly intervene to help it out.

The bunker buster bomb struck the spot where the monster golem had been. The ground attack aircraft, having completed its bombing run, pulled up and began to climb, continuing to hover at low altitude in the vicinity.

The bunker buster bomb penetrated the ground as easily as a stone breaking through paper. Two or three seconds later, the shockwave from the explosion followed. The shockwave, which spread outward from the ground, damaged nearby buildings. Some less stable buildings were destroyed, and even concrete load-bearing structures developed numerous cracks in their walls.

Beneath the ground, where the explosion occurred, large sections of the sewers were blasted to pieces. The monster puppet, which had just managed to erect a magic shield, took the brunt of the impact but was unharmed.

After removing its shield, the monster puppet pretended to be injured, emitting a sharp and piercing cry. A large amount of fleshy threads surged from the ground, quickly coalescing into shape, and at the same time rushed towards the nearest organization member.

The organization members, injected with the evolution serum, had physical abilities far surpassing those of ordinary people. Although they still couldn't compare to the zombie puppet created by Li Wei, they were still far beyond the limits of ordinary people. Seeing the monster puppet rushing towards them, they decisively retreated while looking for cover to stop the monster puppet's advance. At the same time, their guns continued to fire, and a large number of bullets blasted the monster puppet to pieces.

"The bullet worked! The bunker buster hit it!" an organization member shouted excitedly.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than the monster puppet's flesh churned and blood surged, countless thin threads of flesh coalescing into a gigantic tentacle that coiled around the organization member who had just spoken, dragging him into its body. "Help me! Help me!"

Before the organization member could finish speaking, he was engulfed by the monster puppet's body. As soon as his body entered the monster puppet's body, it was shredded by a large number of fleshy threads, leaving only his head intact. His skull was then opened, and a large number of fleshy threads, like probes, pierced into his brain and began to violently read the organization member's memories.

This method of directly accessing memories from the brain is enough to make modern scientists exclaim, "This is unscientific!" However, in Li Wei's view, whose power has already reached the realm of the soul, directly accessing brain memories is the crudest and most backward method of memory access, yielding only a bunch of messy memory fragments.

"Maintain a safe distance from that monster, unleash full firepower! Call in air units, ground attack aircraft prepare for support!" An organization member, who resembled a commander and was completely encased in metal armor, used a watch-like communication device to maintain contact with the low-flying ground attack aircraft.

The monster puppet devoured an organization member, turning the other's flesh and blood into its own nutrients, gaining a temporary buff that made its burst of power even greater than before.

These organization combat members, who have been injected with drugs and are no longer human, contain a wealth of energy. For the monster puppet, it's like Bear Grylls encountering "chicken flavor." The nutrients in the body of one organization combat member are enough to extend the monster puppet's high-intensity combat time by one minute.

Although it was just a collection of fragmented memories, Li Wei's main body still received some useful information through the monster puppet as a medium.

These lower-ranking combatants have limited intelligence, but limited intelligence doesn't mean it's worthless. At least by absorbing combatants, Li Wei learned that the combatant's base was located in Sapporo, Hokkaido. (Requesting flowers.)

In Hokkaido, the zombie outbreak isn't as severe. Some people who can walk have already headed to Hokkaido, and those who can run fast have arrived, but many are still on their way.

Li Wei had previously thought Hokkaido was relatively safe, but he didn't expect that the danger there would be no less than that in Tokyo.

In Tokyo, the several bases set up by that organization don't have anything of note. The only thing that can be considered "real stuff" is the original viral fluid that was transported here to spread the virus.

Through this combatant's memories, Li Wei learned about the organization's base in Hokkaido, which possessed a complete "new human production line." This line of service involved infecting healthy ordinary people with the virus, and then rapidly transforming their bodies under the virus's catalysis, turning them into super soldiers who surpassed the limits of human physical abilities.

0...

However, such "evolution" also carries certain risks. At least in this combatant's memory, there were scenes of other patients from the same batch of infected individuals going out of control and turning into deformed monsters.

However, compared to the powerful magical puppets that Li Wei created using his magic, the monsters that the unlucky souls who went out of control and mutated due to the virus were just a bunch of useless junk. They looked scary, but in reality, they had no intelligence and their combat power was not very good.

The ground attack aircraft had begun its dive, its nose cannons roaring and flashing. A barrage of large-caliber bullets tore apart the monster puppet's body—at least that's how it appeared to the combat personnel. The monster puppet was rendered unable to maintain its form and could only stand there, raging helplessly.

"The machine guns are effective. Continue suppressive fire! We must maintain uninterrupted firepower and not let the enemy escape," the on-site commander said to the ground attack aircraft circling overhead.

The on-site commander addressed the other combatants around him: "Prepare to capture Gel. Conventional containment methods are ineffective against such a special mutated individual. Everyone, prepare for containment!"

Hidden in the shadows, Li Wei listened to the commander's words and smiled. This commander was far too naive; he'd been fooled by the monster puppet's performance. While the monster puppet appeared to be at its last gasp, it was actually preparing a huge surprise.

Chapter 212. Creating Your Own Final Boss

The monster puppet consumed two mana crystals within its body. As the price for activating its power, its entire body rapidly expanded, instantly exploding into countless threads of flesh and blood, piercing through everything around it. "Monster! It's a monster!" "I don't want to die!"

Faced with the terrifying monster puppet clone, the morale of the organization members completely collapsed. The monster puppet launched an attack similar to a self-destruction, radiating outwards a deluge of flesh and blood threads, instantly wiping out more than half of the combatants. The remaining combatants of the organization had lost their courage and retreated in a sorry state.

The ground attack aircraft, which was carrying out a ground attack mission, was not able to pull up its nose and climb before it was pierced by a large number of fleshy threads and fell shakily toward the ground.

Two huge bursts of fire erupted, along with a large amount of ammunition exploding. Two of the ground attack aircraft involved in the mission were lost in a single encounter.

The pilots of the surviving attack aircraft quickly pulled up the control stick to climb, trying to get as far away from the "spider web" below as possible.

After the flesh threads exploded outwards, the monster puppet's main body had transformed into a giant spider web. The writhing web of flesh covered the entire block. The combatants of the organization, pierced by the flesh threads, had their bodies filled with the monster puppet's flesh threads, turning them into "sub-puppets" under the monster puppet's command. These forcibly modified combatants had their physical abilities greatly enhanced, and they began to attack their former comrades.

"Damn it! Who is the real monster?!" The surviving on-site commander dared not linger any longer and led the other surviving combatants to a decisive retreat.

Watching the organization members flee in disarray, Li Wei did not have the monster puppet switch forms to give chase. Instead, he kept the monster puppet in its giant spider web-like form, making it appear as if it had fallen into a state of suspended animation. Only the constantly writhing fleshy tentacles indicated that it was still alive.

"Looks like I'll have to make a new puppet, and my thought process isn't quite up to par either." Li Wei looked down at an Organization combatant who had been pierced through, and decided to turn this unfortunate fellow into a new puppet.

Li Wei doesn't need to find any special kind of base material to create puppets; any living being will do, whether it's alive or dead. So, even beings injected with so-called "evolutionary agents," whose very existence is uncertain, can be transformed into puppets.

The value demonstrated by the monster puppets will undoubtedly prompt that mysterious organization to send more forces to contain them. Meanwhile, Li Wei can wait in ambush, using the monster puppets as bait.
