Chapter 279 Taming the Mutants
These mutants could be regarded as the advanced forms of zombies. In fact, they were already dead from the virus infection, but they were not undead like zombies because they were not transformed by death power. However, only necromancers could feel death power, so it was impossible for those besides necromancers to distinguish the difference between them and ordinary undead.
Roy’s demon blood could transform others into liches, and Frostmourne could also transform others into undead. But Roy himself did not currently have any death power, so it had to be said that it was a rather strange situation.
Seeing this, everyone might also be able to imagine that it would be very easy if Roy wanted to integrate death power as a new source power because the affinity between his body’s attributes and death power was so high!
The mutants had no interest in the corpses of the dead all over the battlefield. They bit the living to satisfy their instinctive hunger for fresh flesh and blood and the need to spread the virus. These mutants had chased after the fleeing alliance troops, but they had been stopped by the counterattack. When they sensed that there still seemed to be a living being on the battlefield, they came here to surround it. This living being was naturally Roy. Although Roy was a little surprised to see these mutants surrounding him, they posed no threat to him at all, so he did not do anything and wanted to see what they wanted to do.
These mutants were all in all kinds of ugly and disgusting shapes. They were originally hunting for food, but when they arrived not far from Roy, they suddenly stopped.
They seemed to have smelled something special, and the mutants twitched their noses and sniffed as their hideous expressions slowly disappeared. In the end, these mutants crouched down like wild beasts around Roy while making low cries.
“Huh, what’s going on?” This scene stunned Roy.
When he observed the mutants through the Demon Eyes earlier, he found that they were fearless. They no longer had any thoughts nor consciousness, and all of their bodies’ actions were just instinctive reactions under the control of the virus. In order to obtain blood food, they had even tried to attack dragons and titans. But now, they were actually crouching quietly in front of him?
Roy tried to take two steps forward but found that the mutants also retreated, and their movements looked very careful and cautious.
Are they… scared? Roy vaguely understood. Is it because of the perfect T-Virus in my body?
Between zombies and zombies, and between mutants and mutants, why didn’t they attack each other? This was because they could ‘recognize’ their companions. They could feel the same virus aura in one another’s bodies!
On Roy’s body, they smelled the ‘same kind’ scent, and this ‘same kind’ was much more advanced than them!
Be it zombies or mutants, the virus in their bodies evolved from the T-Virus in Roy’s body. This evolution was a reversion, which meant that it was degraded and diluted. Therefore, in both concentration and level, Roy’s was far superior to that of these zombies and mutants!
As soon as he realized, the first thing he thought of was to see if he could control and command these mutants.
Since they felt fear and caution, it meant that they were also divided into a hierarchy. But when Roy wanted to order them, he found that he did not know where to start.
Use language? That’s impossible. Zombies and mutants can’t understand at all. Use the mind? That’s even more impossible. The brains of these guys have long stopped functioning…
After experimenting and finding that he could not think of a way to control them for the time being, Roy could only put it aside first. He then placed his hand on the ice sculptures of Julia and the others and began melting the ice for them.
Julia and the others were frozen by the magic power of the Sword of Frost, so Roy, who held the Sword of Frost, could unfreeze them by retrieving this magic power. Both Julia and Benia were high-rank demons, and their powerful bodies guaranteed that they would not freeze to death in a short time. They had only been frozen in an instant before, and as long as the ice did not break and injure their bodies, they could recover through thawing.
But because the temperature was very low when they were frozen, Roy could not immediately thaw them and had to do it
slowly.
Roy spent a lot of time unfreezing Julia, Benia, Fat Tiger, and Cassandra. Then he spent some souls to create a new potion.
This potion was red, and Roy defined it as ‘HP Potion’. Its effect was to heal wounds and restore physical functions. The exchange price for this HP Potion was pretty high. One bottle actually cost ten souls. But correspondingly, according to the attributes given by the system after the final adaption, as long as the injuries were not fatal, this potion could theoretically heal all kinds of damage, so it was quite useful. All over Julia and Benia were necrotic muscle tissues due to the freezing. But because their bodies were strong enough, their self-healing ability had been fighting against the low temperature, preventing their bodies from becoming necrotic completely. After Roy poured down a bottle of HP Potion to each, the necrotic muscle tissues quickly began to fade, and new cells regained the upper hand.
