    The black rain intensified around noon, the gray-black raindrops pounding against the protective netting with a crackling sound. Jiang Yong's [Emotional Perception] suddenly detected a strong "malice" emanating from the forest surrounding the camp. "Something's wrong!" Jiang Yong shouted, activating [Spatial Jump] and instantly teleporting to the watchtower on the edge of the camp. Through the rain, he saw a group of mutated creatures, soaking wet, approaching the camp—they were ordinary zombies infected by the black rain, covered in red rashes, their eyes glowing with an eerie red light, moving faster and more aggressively than ordinary zombies. "Mutated zombies! Infected by the black rain!" Jiang Yong shouted through the communicator, "They're not afraid of the black rain and can move quickly in it! All squads, prepare for battle!" Cao Ying immediately led her team forward, a pale blue aura of [Speed ​​Boost] enveloping her, her short knife igniting—the high temperature of the flame could kill the virus and also attack the zombies. "These zombies have been enhanced by the virus, everyone be careful!" Huang Jun raised his modified crossbow and fired flaming arrows. The arrows not only damaged the mutated zombies but also sterilized them with high temperatures, killing the virus attached to them: "Let you taste the power of 'flaming sterilization arrows'!" Master Wang rushed over with a high-temperature sterilization gun, spraying high-temperature steam at the mutated zombie horde: "Let's sterilize you properly! Let the virus and the zombies go to their graves!" Wherever the steam sprayed, the mutated zombies let out shrill screams, their red rashes began to fester and fall off, and their movements became sluggish. Xiong Shengjun seized the opportunity to throw out "sterilization bombs." The bombs exploded in the zombie horde, and alkaline powder and ultraviolet light instantly covered the entire area. The mutated zombies fell to the ground one after another, their viruses completely killed, turning them into ordinary zombie remains. Lin Xi used an ultraviolet sniper rifle to shine a long-range beam of light on the mutated zombies that tried to approach the camp. Wherever the beam hit, the virus on the zombies was killed, their movements became sluggish, and they were easily dealt with by the team members. The battle proceeded smoothly; in less than half an hour, all the mutated zombies were cleared out. Ye Yu ran to the center of the battlefield, taking inventory with his ledger: "32 mutated zombies, all eliminated!" Jiang Yong scanned the battlefield with [Material Analysis], and after confirming that there were no remaining live viruses, he breathed a sigh of relief: "These mutated zombies are just appetizers. 'Shadow' will definitely send more enemies; we can't let our guard down!" In the afternoon, the black rain suddenly underwent a strange change—the raindrops changed from grayish-black to dark red, as if mixed with blood, and their corrosiveness became stronger. When they fell on the protective netting, they even began to corrode small holes. "Oh no! The virus has mutated again!" Chen Pan discovered through the detector that the virus particles in the black rain had become more active, and the mutation sequence had also changed. "They can now infect not only through the skin, but also through respiration! And their resistance to high temperatures and ultraviolet radiation has also increased!" "This 'Shadow' is too cunning! The virus even has upgrades?" Ye Yu looked at the records in the ledger and couldn't help but complain, "Is it trying to make things more difficult for us because it's afraid our defenses will be too easy?" Lin Mo frowned and analyzed, "This is 'virus evolution.' The 'Shadow' is constantly screening and strengthening the virus through the black rain, ultimately trying to cultivate a super virus that can adapt to any environment and cannot be eliminated!" Jiang Yong activated [Material Analysis] again, carefully studying the new virus sample: "Although they have upgraded, they still cannot survive in a strongly alkaline environment, and they are afraid of ultrasound! We can use ultrasonic weapons to deal with them!" "Ultrasound?" Master Wang's eyes lit up, "I'll go modify the ultrasonic generator right away so that it can emit ultrasound over a wide range to kill the viruses in the air!" Zou Juan quickly adjusted the formula of the alkaline protective spray, adding more baking soda to enhance its protective effect: "This is an 'enhanced protective spray,' which not only prevents skin infections but also neutralizes airborne viruses, preventing transmission through respiration!" Sister Li, through the weather station, discovered that the black rain would stop in the evening, followed by a brief period of clear skies: "We can use the sunshine for large-scale disinfection. The natural ultraviolet rays in sunlight are even more effective against viruses than our UV lamps!" "Great!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Once the black rain stopped, they could conduct thorough disinfection, making them more confident in defending Liangzi Island. Over the next few hours, everyone urgently modified their defensive equipment in response to the upgraded virus. Master Wang's ultrasonic generator was quickly modified to emit high-frequency ultrasonic waves, covering the entire camp; Zou Juan's enhanced protective spray was also mass-produced and distributed to everyone; Sister Li developed a detailed sunlight disinfection plan, marking the disinfection times for each area.
