Chapter 513: Discovering a Nuclear Bomb, a Major Weapon!

“This general greets His Imperial Grandson! May His Imperial Grandson live for ten thousand years!”

Upon seeing Zhu Ying, Liu Lei was the first to perform his salutations.

“Rise.”

“Thank you, Your Imperial Grandson.”

Zhu Ying inquired curiously, “Liu Lei, were you not responsible for collecting zombie crystals in the [Biohazard World]? Why have you suddenly come to the Crown Prince's Manor?”

“Could it be that something has happened in the Biohazard World?”

Upon seeing Liu Lei's arrival, Zhu Ying immediately guessed that some sort of change might have occurred within the [Biohazard World].

Sure enough.

Liu Lei spoke to Zhu Ying in a hurried tone, “Reporting to His Imperial Grandson, your guess is correct. Indeed, some strange things have occurred in the Biohazard World.”

“Strange things?”

“Tell me in detail. What kind of strange things?” Zhu Ying pressed further.

Thus, Liu Lei explained to Zhu Ying, “Your Highness, currently in this Biohazard World, some extremely powerful weapons have been discovered. These weapons are capable of causing massive destruction!”

“The Royal Guards have already moved to protect these weapons.”

When Liu Lei informed Zhu Ying of what was happening in the [Biohazard World], Zhu Ying's expression immediately darkened.

“Extremely powerful weapons?” Based on Liu Lei's description, Zhu Ying's first thought was nuclear bombs.

To verify his suspicion, Zhu Ying asked Liu Lei, “After these weapons explode, will they produce smoke similar to a mushroom cloud?”

Seeing this, Liu Lei immediately said with an excited tone, “Reporting to Your Highness, you are correct. After these weapons explode, they indeed produce mushroom clouds.”

Instantly, joy flashed across Zhu Ying's face.

He knew very well that the weapons Liu Lei was referring to were nuclear bombs.

“Such weapons are nuclear bombs; they are the most powerful weapons in the Biohazard World!”

“To think that nuclear bombs would actually exist in this Biohazard World!”

Without a doubt, Zhu Ying appeared extremely excited upon learning of the existence of nuclear bombs. He immediately said to Liu Lei, “Let's go! Accompany me to the Biohazard World at once!”

“I must see them with my own eyes!”

As Zhu Ying's voice fell, Liu Lei, as the Commander of the Royal Guards, naturally did not hesitate. He hurriedly replied to Zhu Ying, “This general obeys your command!”

And so.

Zhu Ying and Liu Lei immediately entered the Biohazard World once more through the [Spatial Portal].

...

Meanwhile.

Within the Biohazard World, inside a nuclear missile launch base of a large nation, the area had already been occupied by the Royal Guards. Simultaneously, these nuclear missiles were being protected by them.

Not long after.

Zhu Ying and Liu Lei arrived at this nuclear missile launch base together.

To tell the truth.

After the viral crisis broke out in the [Biohazard World], the Umbrella Corporation directly detonated nuclear weapons, destroying the entirety of Raccoon City.

The resulting consequence was a chain reaction.

Several nations possessing nuclear power began launching missiles at one another, which instead accelerated the extinction of humanity!

Currently.

The [Biohazard World] had been completely infected by the virus, with only a few humans surviving, though some nations' nuclear arsenals had yet to be used.

These remaining nuclear missiles had been discovered by the Royal Guards.

Soon.

When Zhu Ying saw these dozens of nuclear missiles, his expression changed drastically.

It was evident that Zhu Ying was quite agitated.

He immediately said to Liu Lei beside him, “Have the Royal Guards protect this nuclear missile launch base immediately!”

“Without my command, no one is allowed to enter!”

“From this moment on, this area is a forbidden zone!”

Zhu Ying knew very well that the most urgent priority was to secure these nuclear missiles!

“This general obeys your command!”

Liu Lei immediately accepted the order.

Afterward.

Zhu Ying personally touched the warheads, his heart undoubtedly filled with wild joy!

He knew very well that these nuclear missiles were ultimate weapons of mass destruction!

A single nuclear bomb was enough to destroy a small city.

Furthermore.

Even as a Grandmaster Realm expert, it would be difficult for Zhu Ying to withstand such a multitude of nuclear strikes!

From this, one could see.

If all these dozens of nuclear missiles were launched, the resulting power and shock would be immense.

It could be said that these nuclear missiles would represent a significant wealth for the Great Ming Empire.

They would certainly be of great use in the future!

“Wonderful.”

“To think there are so many unlaunched nuclear missiles in this world. The military strength of the Great Ming Empire has received yet another boost!”

Zhu Ying stared fixedly at the missiles, his eyes full of delight.

Seeing this, Liu Lei was quite puzzled.

“Your Highness, is the power of these nuclear missiles truly that great?”

Zhu Ying nodded slightly and explained patiently to Liu Lei, “Do not be fooled by their relatively small size. Once these missiles explode, they will produce an earth-shattering impact!”

“Even I would find it difficult to withstand it.”

Upon hearing that even Zhu Ying would struggle to withstand the impact of a nuclear bomb, Liu Lei's expression changed instantly.

“Ah!”

“Your Highness, even you find it difficult to withstand their power? Then it seems these missiles are indeed ultimate weapons.”

After saying this, Liu Lei unconsciously took several steps back.

It was clear that Liu Lei was also somewhat frightened.

Seeing this, Zhu Ying immediately said, “We must keep a close watch on these missiles. For now, leave them in the Biohazard World. Remember! You must absolutely not let the zombies come into contact with them!”

“This general obeys! Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will certainly guard them well!” Liu Lei replied hurriedly.

The reason Zhu Ying had not chosen to transport these missiles to the Great Ming World was primarily the fear that they might detonate unexpectedly. If a nuclear bomb were to detonate within the Great Ming Empire, the entire Imperial Capital would instantly be turned to ash.

Therefore, to be safe, Zhu Ying decided to leave the missiles in this [Biohazard World].

This way, even if a detonation occurred, it would not endanger the main world.

“By the way, what is the current situation in the Biohazard World?” Now that Zhu Ying had arrived in the [Biohazard World], he took the opportunity to ask Liu Lei about the current specifics.

Liu Lei immediately spoke, “Reporting to Your Highness, currently, half of the Biohazard World has been brought under control, and military strongholds have been established in various locations.”

“Furthermore, the original military bases in this Biohazard World have all been seized!”

After Liu Lei informed Zhu Ying of the general situation in the Biohazard World, the latter nodded.

He continued to emphasize, “In this world, there may still be residual nuclear missiles within the former military powers. Conduct a search immediately!”

“If more nuclear missiles are found, they must be protected.”

“This general obeys!” Liu Lei said to Zhu Ying with absolute certainty, “Please rest assured, Your Highness. I will conduct a thorough search and will absolutely not overlook any suspicious location!”

Afterward.

Zhu Ying also inquired about the situation regarding the zombies.

“You just said the Ming army has controlled half of the Biohazard World's territory. Does that mean all zombies have been cleared within the controlled areas?”

One had to realize that there were billions of zombies in the [Biohazard World]. To eliminate half of them in such a short amount of time was by no means an easy task.

Liu Lei immediately explained, “Reporting to Your Highness, I did not express myself clearly. Although the Ming army has occupied half of the territory, we have not eliminated half of the zombies.”

“There are still scattered zombies within the controlled territories. I have already issued orders for a sweep and clearance.”

“However, please rest assured, Your Highness. In a few years—at most two years—the Great Ming army will have complete control over this Biohazard World.”

“As for the zombies, I have decided to herd them all onto a deserted island to keep them contained. After all, the number of zombies is simply too vast; it is unrealistic to completely eliminate them in a short period.”

After hearing Liu Lei's plan, Zhu Ying nodded.

Clearly.

Zhu Ying was quite approving of Liu Lei's plan.

He continued, “Mhm, proceed according to your plan. There is no rush regarding the zombies. The current priority is finding nuclear missiles. As long as we find more, we can directly use them to annihilate these zombies in concentrated strikes in the future.”

Zhu Ying glanced at the missiles once more, then said to Liu Lei with lingering attachment, “Head to the Raccoon City stronghold now. I have important matters to attend to.”

“Understood!”

Then.

Accompanied by Liu Lei, Zhu Ying flew toward the skies above Raccoon City in a helicopter.

High above.

Zhu Ying watched as Raccoon City underwent earth-shattering changes. The current Raccoon City was no longer chaotic, and the buildings were gradually being repaired. Most importantly, no trace of zombies could be seen within the city.

Raccoon City was the first military stronghold established by the Great Ming Empire in the [Biohazard World]. During this time, the Great Ming army had long since conducted a carpet-style sweep of the city.

It could be said that the zombies within Raccoon City had long since been completely cleared!

...

Soon.

The helicopter landed within the Raccoon City military stronghold.

The main reason Zhu Ying had come to Raccoon City this time was to personally inquire about certain scientific research matters.

After stepping out of the helicopter, Zhu Ying walked straight toward the Raccoon City underground base.

Currently, the Raccoon City underground base had not been destroyed and was operating as usual, though it now belonged to the Great Ming Empire.

“Red Queen.”

Upon entering the base, Zhu Ying immediately called out the Red Queen's name.

Since the Red Queen had become the central intelligence hub of the Great Ming Empire's world, only the White Queen remained in this Raccoon City underground base.

“Master, how may I serve you?”

Upon hearing Zhu Ying's call, the White Queen immediately manifested a projected avatar!

“Gather the bio-scientists from the Umbrella Corporation!”

“I have questions for them!”

As Zhu Ying's voice fell, the White Queen immediately responded, “Reporting to Master, notifications have been sent to the bio-scientists! They will arrive before you shortly!”

The primary reason Zhu Ying wanted the White Queen to gather these Umbrella bio-scientists was to inquire about the development progress of zombie weaponry.

Since Zhu Ying had obtained the [Biohazard World], he naturally wanted to utilize its resources to the fullest extent possible.

In addition to obtaining zombie crystals, Zhu Ying wanted to extract other resources.

And in this [Biohazard World], the one thing that was not in short supply was, naturally, zombies!

Currently, the total number of zombies was still in the billions!

This was a terrifying scale. If these zombies could be utilized properly, the military strength of the Great Ming Empire would naturally ascend to a new level!

Not long after.

Dozens of bio-scientists, dressed in white laboratory coats, hurried to Zhu Ying's presence.

Upon seeing Zhu Ying, these bio-scientists immediately shouted to him in broken Chinese, “Greetings, Your Imperial Grandson! May Your Imperial Grandson live for ten thousand years!”

Over the past few years, these bio-scientists had completed their Sinicization.

Zhu Ying had required these scientists to learn Chinese. Although many of them were already of advanced age, they were top-tier talents with extremely strong learning abilities.

Thus, learning Chinese was not particularly difficult for them.

“All of you, rise,” Zhu Ying said to the group of scientists with an expressionless face.

Afterward, the scientists hurriedly responded in unison, “Understood!”

Once the scientists had risen, Zhu Ying did not waste words with them, but spoke directly, “How is the progress on the zombie weaponry I ordered you to develop previously?”

In fact, as soon as Zhu Ying had destroyed the Umbrella Corporation, he had ordered these bio-scientists to develop zombie weaponry.

After all, the zombies in this world had no fear of death. Moreover, powerful zombies—especially types like Lickers—possessed combat capabilities that could rival those at the peak of the Post-Natal Realm, and some zombies could even reach the peak of the Body Refining Realm!

Their strength was quite formidable.

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Ying wanted to fully utilize these zombies to develop zombie weaponry for the future use of the Great Ming Empire.

However.

As Zhu Ying's voice fell, a look of slight embarrassment appeared on the face of the lead bio-scientist.

Although these scientists were the top scientists in the current world, the zombie weaponry Zhu Ying requested was extremely difficult to develop. With current technological levels, it would be hard to succeed in a short period.

Thus, the lead scientist said to Zhu Ying in a nervous tone, “Please forgive us, Your Highness. The development of zombie weaponry is quite time-consuming and extremely complicated; it requires multiple trials to succeed...”

“Are you saying it has not been successfully developed yet?” Upon hearing the scientist's answer, Zhu Ying's expression immediately turned solemn.

The scientists naturally saw the change in emotion on Zhu Ying's face, and they immediately knelt before him once more.

“Reporting to His Imperial Grandson, since receiving the task to develop zombie weaponry, we have been working diligently on research and testing, but... the process is simply too complex.”

“We beg Your Imperial Grandson to grant us more time. We guarantee that we will succeed.”

Seeing this, Zhu Ying continued to emphasize to the group of bio-scientists in a cold tone, “I will trust you one more time. I will give you ample time. However, if you fail to develop it after a long period, do not blame me for being heartless!”

Zhu Ying knew very well that at necessary moments, he had to threaten this group of people.

Only in this way could he increase their efficiency.
