The Savior of American Comics? I'm the Subspace Evil God!

Chapters 479, 874, and 875: A Horrifying Zombie Horde, Ross's Advice

"Is Project Ouroboros within the purview of S.H.I.E.L.D.?!"

Genes continued his tirade: "If the answer is yes... then shouldn't you have intervened long ago?!"

"But how did you do it?"

"Deliberately allowing the situation to escalate, resulting in this unmanageable mess... Nick Fury, as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., don't you realize you've failed in your duty?!"

WTF? ? ?

This is a special treat for the Bull Demon King!
Can't you have any shame at all?
Nick Fury was instantly filled with rage, and he was so angry that he almost cursed out loud on the spot.

He never expected that the other party could be so shameless as to be so insane.

Not only did they deliberately distort the facts, but they also directly attacked him in the face?
At this critical moment, they resorted to such underhanded tricks, attempting to drag him down with them!
Damn it, I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone more shameless than you.

Nick Fury has learned his lesson today.

However, although Nick Fury knew that the other party wanted to drag him into the mess, he couldn't bring himself to refute it.

Because as soon as he opens his mouth, he will fall directly into the trap of self-justification that the other party has carefully designed.

Damn it, this is clearly my specialty!

Nick Fury's eyes flashed with a cold light as he secretly plotted whether to wait until after the meeting and have his Skrull Army arrange an "accident" to quietly eliminate Genes.

Just as tensions were running high and the atmosphere had reached its lowest point—

buzzing...

buzzing...

A sudden, jarring cell phone vibration rang out in the otherwise silent meeting room, completely out of place.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and found that it came from Alexander Pierce, who was sitting in the main seat.

Pierce frowned and quickly took out his phone.

But when he saw the number on the caller ID, his expression turned serious.

Then press the answer button—

"What did you say?!"

Alexander Pierce, his face ashen, said to the person on the other end of the phone, "I understand. Send the video data over immediately," and then hurriedly hung up.

All eyes in the conference room instantly turned to him, and even Nick Fury and Genes temporarily stopped arguing.

An ominous premonition hung over everyone's hearts.

Something big must have happened again...

as predicted.

"Just now..."

Alexander Pierce put down his phone, his face so dark it was almost dripping with gloom, and his voice heavy with unprecedented intensity.

"Two unprecedentedly massive zombie hordes, originating from the northeast of Morocco and Egypt respectively, crashed into the border checkpoints established by Spain and Egypt..."

As he spoke, his assistant played the video footage he had just received on the big screen.

The images on the screen switched instantly, displaying terrifying scenes that sent chills down the spine, and were transmitted back in real time via high-definition satellites and frontline cameras.

Scene 1:

A bridge spanning the Strait of Gibraltar, which connects Europe and Africa.

The camera pans down from above, revealing that the entire wide bridge is now completely covered by a dense, writhing "crowd" of people!
The sheer number of them was enough to drive anyone with trypophobia to the brink of collapse!
However, although they can walk upright and even run, they can no longer be called human, because they have been infected by a biochemical virus and turned into man-killing zombies!
An endless horde of zombies!
Like a black, death-laden tide, it was crashing wildly against the border checkpoint at the end of the bridge!

The flashes of gunfire flickered incessantly, like fireflies about to be swallowed by a giant wave.

What's even more terrifying is that, in addition to a huge number of ordinary infected, this horde of zombies also includes many giant mutant BOWs that have never appeared before!

Some of them are several meters tall, with muscles as bulging as rocks;

Some were twisted into inhuman shapes, like demons crawling out of hell, using terrifying strength and powerful physical strength to withstand the fire from the checkpoint soldiers and tear apart the defensive fortifications set up in front of the checkpoint!

If it weren't for the soldiers stationed at the border checkpoint who immediately sent a distress signal to headquarters after discovering the anomaly, and the timely arrival of the military support troops, plus the military's immediate use of helicopters to launch missiles and destroy a section of the bridge, this border checkpoint would probably have been overwhelmed by the zombie horde in the blink of an eye.

Scene 2:
A land border checkpoint in the northeastern part of Egypt, in the Suez Canal Zone.

A similar scene is unfolding!
The horde of zombies crashed against the fragile human defenses like a tsunami.

Missiles rained down from the sky, reaping the horde of zombies charging through the checkpoint like wheat being harvested, leaving severed limbs and dismembered bodies scattered everywhere...

But just a second after a large number of zombies were blown up and were about to rush to the front of the defense line, the gap was filled by another large number of zombies surging up from behind.

The endless horde of zombies seemed to be something that could never be completely consumed.

The terrifying scene would make even the most steadfast warrior hesitate to retreat.

More importantly, even if the broken bridges and missile bombardments could temporarily halt the advance of the zombie horde.

But it's clear to anyone with eyes to see that this is only a temporary barrier and cannot bring lasting stability. The time they have left to make a decision... is obviously running out.

"Oh my God..."

"Damn it, the zombie horde is actually expanding outwards on its own?!"

"How can there be so many... and those monsters in the zombie horde..."

The conference room exploded instantly.

A chilling coldness shot from everyone's tailbone to the top of their head.

Cold sweat soaked through everyone's backs at a visible speed.

If, before this, these officials who were used to being high and mighty had no concrete concept of the number two billion, then...

Those two video clips vividly demonstrated what "mountains of corpses and seas of blood" truly means. And such a scene probably doesn't even amount to a fraction of the actual 2 billion...

However, this kind of lack of 'sensitivity' to numbers often occurs even in real life.

Just like the "rich guys" on the internet who earn millions a year, have hundreds of millions in savings, and talk about their small businesses worth tens or hundreds of millions.

In reality, most of them might work hard all year and end up with less than 10,000 yuan in savings...

Watching the video footage, at the broken bridge, countless zombies were falling into the deep blue sea below like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, splashing up streaks of white water. An unprecedented fear coiled around the heart of every participant like a venomous snake.

What made them even more uneasy was that the geographical locations of the two countries, Spain and Egypt, were simply too fatal!

They are the most important bridgeheads connecting the continent of F to Europe and Asia.

Once these two countries fall, it means that two unprecedentedly massive zombie hordes will be able to advance unimpeded and directly devour the continents of Europe and Asia.

"It must be Albert Wesker's doing! He... he can actually control hordes of zombies?!"

As if grasping at a last straw, Genes, who had just slumped back into his chair, suddenly stood up, his voice distorted by fear and excitement, and he screamed shrilly:
"Did everyone see that?! Blowing up the bridge was just a stopgap measure..."

"If we can't find a way to completely eliminate Albert Wesker, the source of the virus, and completely extinguish this huge hidden danger, even if we blow up all the bridges leading to the [F Continent] and build high walls along all the borders, it will be to no avail!!"

His eyes were bloodshot as he surveyed his surroundings, his gaze sweeping over the representatives from Eurasian countries. His voice carried a sense of self-destructive despair, along with a hint of highly inflammatory madness:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you wouldn't want to see a similar hellish scene in your own country, right on your own doorstep, would you?!"
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

These words were like a spark thrown into boiling oil, instantly igniting the pain points in the hearts of all the attendees.

“Mr. Genes is right… Chairman Pierce, in order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, I recommend an immediate large-scale joint military intervention there.”

A European representative stood up, his face ashen, and emphasized urgently, "Now is the time when there is no time to lose!!"

“If necessary, our country is willing to immediately dispatch elite ground troops to the front line for combat…” Another representative, who appeared to be a general, slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"Our country [F] is also willing to send its most advanced fighter-bomber squadrons to provide all-weather air support for ground troops..."

"I agree!"

"That's right, our country also supports direct military intervention. No matter how many zombies there are, they are still at the level of carbon-based life forms. So as long as we have enough firearms, it's not difficult to wipe them out!"

"Seconded!"

"+1"

“Chairman Pierce, I propose that we hold an immediate emergency vote on Mr. Genes’s proposal regarding a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution!”

If most of the countries that just participated could still sit on the sidelines and watch the show, then at this moment, they are really starting to get restless.

The 'cold blade' formed by the terrifying horde of zombies is now firmly held to the necks of countries across Eurasia!

Once the zombie horde breaches the defenses of Spain and Egypt, it will be the turn of these European and Asian countries to suffer.

The room erupted in a frenzy of fear, which overwhelmed reason.

Many leaders were even starting to consider whether to agree with the suggestion made by Genes, the head of the BSAA organization, to solve the problem once and for all by using the 'H' bomb.

More and more people are looking at Genes with a hint of... approval?
Even eager?

After all, it's better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me!

What's more, that continent... is now only infested with endless, hungry zombies!!
"If that's the case, then..."

Alexander Pierce took a deep breath, seemingly making up his mind to comply with the requests of the representatives of various countries and agree to prioritize sending the coalition forces to the F continent bordering [Spain Y] and [Egypt J] to deal a devastating blow to the zombie horde entrenched there, before voting on the ultimate, "once and for all" option.

However, just as he was about to announce his decision—

"and many more."

A powerful, authoritative voice, like a drop of boiling oil being thrown into a pot, suddenly rang out from the back of the tense and oppressive conference room.

brush!
Almost everyone's eyes instantly turned to the sound, focusing on the figure in the back corner—Thadeus Ross, the Secretary of State representing the United States at this highest-level emergency meeting.

Ross's resolute face was as angular as a weathered rock, with only his hawk-like eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"In my view, sending troops to suppress the rebellion is not the only option, nor is it the best solution at present."

Ross spoke expressionlessly, his voice, though seemingly cold, struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer:
"Actually, besides taking the knife to those... innocent people, we have a better way to resolve this crisis."

Upon hearing this, the meeting room fell into complete silence; you could hear a pin drop.

Almost everyone's attention immediately turned to Rose.

Under normal circumstances, given Ross's current status, it would not be appropriate for him to attend this meeting.

After all, he is now the Secretary of State, no longer a member of the Department of Defense.

But what can we do when the Secretary of Defense, General Wilson, is currently under full investigation for alleged serious misconduct?
Therefore, the task of temporarily acting as the Minister of Defense naturally fell to Ross, the former 'odd-rate general'.

After all, he's the one who understands the Ministry of National Defense the most...

It is no exaggeration to say that Ross currently wields far more power than President Matthew Ellis.

"Oh? A better way? Mr. Secretary, could you please explain in detail?"

Upon seeing this, Alexander Pierce's eye muscles twitched almost imperceptibly, and he forced a stiff, fake smile, but his voice was full of doubt as he reminded him:

"However... while I personally feel deep sympathy for the plight of the civilians on the F Continent, we must face reality—after being infected with the bio-virus, they... can probably no longer be called 'human'?"

“Mr. Chairman, the truth... is probably not as absolute as you think.”

Ross's lips curled up in a barely perceptible smile, and a fleeting hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

He didn't look at Alexander Pierce, who sat in the main seat, but instead calmly swept his gaze across the entire room. Then, in a tone as even as if stating an established truth, he said:

"According to the latest intelligence I have, Dr. Rebecca Chambos, who works at the [Subspace Group], recently developed a special antidote called the 'Universal Vaccine' by integrating the characteristics of various biochemical viruses that have previously broken out around the world."

He paused slightly, seemingly deliberately letting the new term 'universal vaccine' stir up ripples in everyone's minds:
"I believe it may play a key role in this unprecedented biological disaster..."
