Blood sacrifice to millions of zombies, I will be a demon cultivator in the apocalypse

Chapter 123 The Dark Soldier
The new ghost warrior system can directly turn people into ghost masters. This temptation is not small.

After the experience of being promoted to Blood Warrior last time, many people in the gathering place were eager to try it. They signed up enthusiastically for the experiment and became very excited.

The chance to gamble your life has come.

Either soar into the sky or die in vain.

In the post-apocalyptic world, there is no shortage of gamblers with their heads in their belts.

Nowadays, as the gathering place is developing better and better, the population is also increasing rapidly. It can be said that it has suddenly emerged and has become the fourth largest force in Luo City after the Black God Group, the Root Military, and the Church of the Redeemer.

Living in such a powerful sphere of influence is safe, but if you want to live a quality life, become a master, and have a certain status, you can only do so by becoming a superpower or a blood warrior.

Now, if you want to become a blood warrior, you need to pay a lot of contribution points, which is not something that an ordinary person can accumulate in a short time.

They remembered that many people successfully developed superpowers and became blood warriors in the last experiment. The strength and status of both parties suddenly changed dramatically.

Zheng Yi's current experiment is to give all gamblers a chance to choose.

As for how to choose, he didn't care.

But once you gamble, it's a gamble of your life. The winner takes all, and if you lose, everything disappears.

This is fair competition, choosing the best among the best depends on a certain amount of luck.

However, Zheng Yi knew very well that this experiment was not easy, even a little more difficult than the Blood Warrior.

Ordinary people's souls are not tough enough. Even if the devil enters the body, they will eventually fail because they cannot bear the pain of the ghosts of the Yin soldiers and the soul-melting runes, and their souls will collapse.

Therefore, this choice also has requirements.

They must be those who are born with strong spiritual power. Only those with strong natural spiritual power mean that their souls are of higher quality and may be able to withstand the implantation of magic seeds.

So Zheng Yi simply refined a small magic weapon called Yingling Mirror.

Only people with strong spiritual power will show their true outline when reflected in the spiritual mirror.

The Spirit Mirror, the lowest level of single-purpose tool-type magic weapon, is simple to refine for foundation-building monks and can even be mass-produced.

However, people in the apocalyptic world have no magic power, so the mirror is inlaid with spiritual stones, which can be used to measure other people's spiritual power and soul strength.

Only if the spiritual power is confirmed to be strong enough can one become an experimental subject implanted with demon seeds.

Those who were successfully transformed were named Ghost Warriors by Zheng Yi, which corresponded to Blood Warriors, but they also had a more resounding name, Yin Soldiers, which was exactly in line with their actual situation.

Of course, even though the dangers and success rates were clearly stated in advance, it did not stop the volunteers’ enthusiasm.

Looking down from the high stands, there is a huge piece of bulletproof glass.

Zheng Yi stood in the center of the stand, looking at a group of bare-chested experimenters wearing only a pair of shorts.

There are probably more than 100 people.

This is the experimental subject who is born with strong mental power after careful selection in the entire gathering place.

There are more people queuing behind.

Everyone knew that this was a gamble, but the desire to become a ghost master was greater than the fear of death.

Everyone is thinking, if someone can succeed, why isn't that person me?
Anyway, living in this world, if there is no power, the future will be very desperate, which prompts them to make a choice.

No one wants to be a waste, and becoming a ghost master is simply a more glorious thing than becoming a superpower. It is more mysterious, has a higher status, and has greater power.

"Are these the first batch of test subjects selected?"

Zheng Yi now delegates all chores to the Supreme Management Committee, also known as the headquarters to the outside world, and does not bother him at all about selecting experimental subjects.

He only cares about the result, not the process.

"There are 120 people in total. All of them are here. They have signed life and death certificates in advance. Whether they are alive or dead, the headquarters is not responsible."

"However, there is still necessary care. Once each participant passes the test, meets the requirements, and participates in the experiment, a generous pension will be paid to their family members. If they do not have any relatives or friends, they will also receive a generous pension. His will shall be dealt with..."

The person in charge of the top management committee responsible for this experiment reported to Zheng Yi with the list of participants in hand.

There was no need for the person in charge to tell Zheng Yi the number of personnel. As he stood here, his powerful spiritual thoughts swept past, and everything was clearly visible.

Even the birthmarks on each person's body can be clearly sensed, not to mention the number of people.

"But after today's experiment, I wonder how many people will be left?"

Zheng Yi seemed to sigh, but his eyes were cold.

After practicing immortality for so many years, he has seen too many joys and sorrows in the world, and has long been tempered to have a heart of stone.

Everything is the path chosen by oneself, no matter success or failure, victory will bring glory and wealth, and change your destiny.

If you lose, you can only admit that you are unlucky, and you will bear all the consequences.

"In that case, let's start now."

Zheng Yi had no expression on his face and ordered to the side.

After listening to Zheng Yi's order, the head of the laboratory next to the Supreme Management Committee immediately nodded, waved to the staff next to him, and made a gesture to indicate that he could start.

After hearing the order, everyone stood in order and stood ready.

Especially those below who participated in the experiment, they separated into many blocks and stood in place.

Zheng Yi closed and opened his eyes, turbulent blue light shot out from the depths of his pupils, and the large array arranged below immediately swept across, and the entire operation started.

Boom!

Everyone felt the ground shake, and then rays of light criss-crossed, forming more than 100 independent translucent light masks, shrouding everyone in them.

This is an isolation formation that has been arranged long ago. It is driven by lower-grade spiritual stones to prevent someone from mutating after merging with the demon species, or from the dark soldiers and ghosts who want to merge out of control and kill people. This is to protect themselves and others.

"Just send out these ghost-controlling seeds and let them swallow them all."

Zheng Yi turned over his right hand and took out a small cloth bag, which happened to contain 120 three bloody seeds.

This is naturally the demon seed formed by Zheng Yi using blood lotus seeds as the basis and using the Dao Heart Seed Demon Refining Technique to refine the Yin soldiers and fierce ghosts.

However, the name "Demon Seed" sounds evil, so to the outside world, they are collectively referred to as "Ghost Controlling Seeds".

It is different from the fusion of parasitic bats. Parasitic bat eggs are biological forms and are mainly fused with the heart, so an opening must be made in the chest to fuse with blood.

As for the demon seeds refined by Zheng Yi, according to the characteristics of the blood lotus seeds, once they enter the body without being refined, after Zheng Yi activates the ancestral lotus in the body, the seeds will immediately take root and sprout and combine with flesh and blood.

The evil soldiers and ghosts inside the demon species will also begin to merge with the souls of the experimental subjects under the influence of the ghost refining method.

This process is similar to parasitism and two-way fusion, so this is why the experimenter's mental power is required to be naturally strong.

Zheng Yi takes care of things at the gathering place.As success rates increase, experiments of this scale will surely become the norm.

He cannot come every time, but for the first experiment, in order to obtain first-hand information and to deal with emergencies, he must personally supervise.

"what!"

"Ahhh!"

"It's so painful, it seems like something is crawling in my flesh and blood..."

As the experiment began, demon seeds were swallowed into the mouths of the subjects participating in the experiment. The demon seeds entered the body and immediately took root and sprouted, taking root in the flesh and blood.

Many subjects who participated in the experiment had their faces changed drastically, and their faces were distorted, and many even huddled in the protective shield in pain.

The surrounding researchers felt sour when they saw this scene.

But Zheng Yi and the person in charge of the experiment remained expressionless as they watched the people below wailing in pain.People like them in high positions have hard hearts and are used to seeing all kinds of tragedies. It is difficult for them to be moved by ordinary human suffering.

After all, living in this apocalyptic hell world with no future in sight, what could be more painful and desperate than this?
The efficiency of the demon species' fusion with the human body was faster than Zheng Yi imagined, and it quickly passed the parasitic stage. Many experimental subjects' heads were raised, their eyes were wide open, covered with bloodshot eyes, their eyebrows were bulging, and even human bodies were All emit a faint dim light.

"The most critical stage is here!"

Zheng Yi's eyes narrowed and he stood up straight. He did not expect that he would reach the stage of soul fusion with Yin Bing Li Gui so quickly.

Although he placed the ghost refining talisman in the demon seed and integrated it with the characteristics of the ghost master in this world, soul fusion is the most dangerous. Even immortal cultivators are extremely careful. If there is a slight mistake, the soul will collapse.

This method is mainly to stimulate the special superpower potential of humans in this doomsday world, otherwise the success rate will be even lower.

Within the isolation mask, some people could no longer bear it, their faces instantly turned gray, and their eyes lost color.

The whole person seemed to have no bones, and lay limp on the ground, motionless. Even if there was no special physical examination, anyone who saw it could understand at the first moment that this person had lost his life forever.

He died inexplicably and silently.

This is because the soul cannot withstand the invasion of demon species, cannot merge with the evil soldiers and ghosts, and directly collapses.

This method of death is actually not painful, because you lose consciousness instantly. It just looks very strange and makes the scalp of those who see it numb.

Zheng Yi looked elsewhere. One of them looked up to the sky and roared. His face was distorted and his temples were bulging. He was about to be unable to bear it. But at this moment, his eyes seemed to open up to something. The passage bloomed with a faint blue light.

Thick black mist emerged from his body and surrounded half of his body, making him look like a monster coming out of hell.

Although he was still in human form, an invisible pressure shrouded his whole body, making everyone around him feel a chill in their hearts.

Then, in the stunned and shocked eyes of all the researchers, they saw the man suddenly straightening his legs, defying gravity, and slowly rising about three inches into the air.

Then more and more black mist poured out from the orifice on the top of his head, and an invisible soul shock wave suddenly spread, but fortunately there was the translucent light mask to protect it, and it hit the light mask hard, Produces violent ripples.

The man's face was shrouded in a layer of black magic mist. Half of his face was still humanoid, but the other half of his face was quickly distorted, like an evil ghost.

It was clear that his facial features had not changed, but he looked unusually ferocious.

And behind him, a huge black shadow three to four meters long gradually emerged.

That is a ferocious demonic figure. Although it has a humanoid outline with two shoulders and a head, its ferocious appearance, wearing gray armor and holding a soul-sucking sickle, looks like the evil god of death from hell. What do you think? They are all terrible monsters.

"what!"

The man was suspended about three inches above the ground. His eyes were cold at first, then gradually became confused, and finally suddenly regained consciousness. Then he fell out of the air and sat on the ground.

"I made it, I made it!"

"I became a ghost master!"

But instead of panicking, he shouted in surprise.

He stood up directly and raised his arms excitedly. With the control of his thoughts, an invisible force spread along his arm bones and formed a series of strange gray patterns on the skin of his arms, just like a very strange kind of force. Old gray tattoos in general.

He looked back at the huge demonic shadow behind him, and could feel that the two sides had a soul-level resonance at the same frequency, producing some kind of more subtle communication and influence.

And as he moved, the demonic shadow also made the same movement.

The man stretched out his palm and grabbed it forward, and the huge three- to four-meter-long demonic figure behind him also stretched out his huge palm and grabbed it forward. The air exploded, forming ripples that spread outward in circles.

He looked at what he had done in amazement and ecstasy, while the researchers around him also looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.

"Why do you feel that the experimenters in this period are more terrifying in controlling the dark soldiers and ghosts than the blood warriors?"

Zheng Yi stood at the top, watching all this and nodded.

"The Yin Soldiers, or Ghost Warriors, pay more attention to the transformation of the spiritual level. They have developed the ability to influence reality mentally. They are higher than the Blood Warriors from the starting point."

"Of course, this cannot be a unified measure of strength. The upper limits of both are good. The analogy between blood warriors and ghost warriors is a bit like the difference between body training and qi training. One is material, the other is spiritual. Different paths lead to the same goal. In the end, Which step you take depends on yourself and the resources behind you..."

"Okay."

With Zheng Yi's nod, the lucky man who successfully fused with the demon species was immediately opened the shield and released from inside. He was led by a specialized person and entered the passage of the research room for further observation and testing.

Of course, these are only a very small number of lucky ones, and more people did not survive the final fusion, and their souls collapsed one by one.

Some people even mutated and turned directly into mindless monsters, frantically trying to pass through the protective shield and attack the researchers outside.

Standing above, Zheng Yi's face was expressionless, and his eyes became colder.

He stretched out his palm and pressed it down. The rebellious mutated monster was immediately suppressed by a terrifying force, and then his entire body broke and exploded, dyeing the entire shield blood red.

The experiment continues, and everyone's tolerance limit is different. Some people succeed and some fail.

It's just that a very small number of people succeed, and the majority fail.

More people unconsciously turned pale and collapsed in the shield, completely losing their breath of life.

"Sure enough, it is just a new method. Although it incorporates several secret techniques, the final effect is still not satisfactory. Such a success rate requires one's life."

"This is not the result I want. We need to continue to improve, otherwise the ghost warrior system will never become the mainstream training system in the gathering place."

After participating in the entire experiment process, Zheng Yi thought in his mind and frowned.

At this time, the entire experiment also came to an end.

However, many experimental subjects have merged with demon species, but they are addicted to the powerful sense of power brought by the evil soldiers and ghosts. Their eyes are confused and chaotic, and they can never wake up.

Zheng Yi frowned, and a flying sword appeared in his hand. He stretched out a finger and flicked the sword lightly.

"Chong!"

A piercing sword cry resounded in everyone's ears, like a sonic boom from an airplane, tearing apart the eardrums.

Many people could not bear the pain and covered their ears with blood flowing from their ears, but they woke up instantly.

"Success!"

"Thank God I made it through."

"It was so scary just now, I thought I was dead!"

Those lucky ones who woke up were stunned one by one, looking at the Shura field-like scene in front of them, but they instantly noticed the changes in their bodies and were ecstatic for their success.

"Take care of your place, and bury the bodies of those who failed."

"Those who successfully fuse the demon species will undergo a second round of testing. Ten days later, I will need all the experimental data..."

Zheng Yi turned around and left, but his voice reached the ears of the person in charge of the experimental factory.

The other party nodded, and under his order, all the researchers began to take action.

Next, comes the more crucial experimental analysis and data analysis.

Ten days later, Zheng Yi got the experimental reports of the first batch of experimenters.

The first batch of experimenters, a total of 120 volunteers who received the demon seeds, ended up with less than 20 successful fusions. This success rate remained between 15.00% and [-]%, which was even far lower than the first batch of transformations. The success rate of Blood Warrior.

However, this low success rate is understandable.

After all, the blood warrior is transformed from the physical aspect, while the demon is transformed from the mental aspect.

The soul is far more fragile than the body, and the two are not the same difficult thing.

After receiving the report, the first batch of Yin soldiers were successfully transformed. Zheng Yi was not in a hurry to transform the second batch. Although he had expected such a low success rate, he was still shocked.

What he wants is to gather in a gathering place to cultivate ghost warriors belonging to his own system, but this result cannot be achieved at the cost of human lives, otherwise the number of people will decrease drastically, and there will only be fewer and fewer people in his territory. This is a disguised form of weakening his own power. .
