54 Final Preparation (1/2)

Technically they aren't zombies.

They are the undead.

Although rapid aging does not affect them due to their newfound immortality, deaging works wonder, reducing those monsters back to a dead corpse.

I need to add the adjective to the word since corpses can live now.

Great!

However, the miasma in the air quickly enters the corpses, resurrecting them as undead again.

Atomizing does stop that from happening. Turning them into dust once they are dead corpses works as well. And if I have to, I can stop time and execute each of the zombie individually.

I'm going to keep calling them zombies since the word is more familiar to me.

Also, this isn't Azeroth!

Once I get over my initial shock and surprise, these supernatural monsters aren't a threat to me or my men. They don't even have the physical strength to even scratch the power armour, although the men did get the scare of their life when they got swarmed, especially by undead dogs.

They have never trained to kill things that shouldn't exists.

I guess Hydra will have to update their already hellish training regiments to include zombies and other supernatural monsters.

Hydra members figure out full dismemberment is extremely effective. Blowing them up is effective as well.

The unmanned tesla tank proves this when it turns dozen of zombies into exploding fireworks of blood and gore.

Some zombies are turned into grounded paste of bones and flesh. Getting crushed by a 150-tons war machine does that.

However, most zombies are killed by Hydra members. With laser blades humming in their hands, the battlefield becomes littered with moving body parts.

They are just very good at what they do.

Unfortunately, the undead don't stay dead when they are killed.

And the groaning and growling from all the severed heads starting to get on my nerves long after the battle is over.

”Fire seems to kill them permanently, Supreme Commander. In fact, it is extremely effective against... the undead. Their body catches fire very easily.”

One of the scientists tell me after they have some experimentations. There are many great application for reanimating dead tissues, magic or not.

He also tells me that their zombies produce miasma from their blood, spreading the contagion through the air. If just one of the zombies found its way to a populated area on Earth, their numbers will grow exponentially.

Luckily, the temporal rifts are locked, preventing these things from invading my world.

I think I already have enough problem to deal with in the prime universe, thank you very much.

Why the fuck is the Nazi experimenting with these things?

Perhaps they are looking for a way to create a controllable undead soldier.

I could see some usefulness to having an undead army at my direct command, especially in terrorizing the population.

Also, immortality!

Infinite Health will have fun with this.

”Have everyone equips with an incinerator or heat-based weaponry. And clean up all of this as soon as possible.”

I have the men burns all the corpses they could find, moving or not.

Having dead bodies around the base is way too risky now due to all the bloodstones being stashed in the warehouse.

I wonder whether I should transport those bloodstones back to the prime universe. Just one of them will do since I could always replicate them with my power.

In the end, I have no choice but to conduct research on them. I must take risk to reap the reward. And if I don't, I will be completely unprepared should something like this ever happened again, especially on a global scale.

No pain, no gain.

At my order, the fabricator assembles an industrial air filtration. It is used to suck up all the miasma in the air, storing the deadly contagions in compressed capsule.

Those capsules will be shipped back home – for research purposes of course.

I will definitely not use them as a biological weapon. There is no need to when I have plenty of options to force a country to its knees.

Hyper inflation for example.

Once the men have their orders, I head to the row of tanks and aircrafts.

Due to the battle, each one stained with blood and gore.

Well, only the tanks are.
