Chapter 1376 Zombie Demon Rats

"You see. I told you they are waiting for us." Jin said as the System had reported a few columns of artillery being deployed away from the Undercity's city hub. Why was he not surprised that there were more underground storages for those Demon Rats to pull out their guns.

However, the fight had started in earnest now that Jin had begun showing his hand to deal with the Demon Rats. This was because the Half Ghoul Lord Derek had continued to bring out every single zombie that he had in his possession and continuously sent them out to not only deal with the kill zone but also started converting those Demon Rats to their side.

While the Demon Rats were unable to under the System's command, that did not mean that it could be converted temporarily to their side. This is because the zombies did their basic job best - By spreading their 'zombie' virus to the Demon Rats. Jin and Derek had already experimented it out on the Demon Rats who they had captured previously and it worked out perfectly fine.

The only problem was that when the Zombie Demon Rat was killed, their resources were corrupted as well. Rotten and stinky just like how most zombies would have with their degenerating flesh despite their never dying ability. (As long as their head remained intact.)

But this spreading of the zombification virus would no doubt strengthen Jin's side momentarily. As long as the zombies were able to place a bite before the Demon Rats turned into resources, their zombie virus would work. Derek even made sure that the zombie virus spread fast after countless hours of research that had been put in to understand the Demon Rat's physiology and ensure the zombie virus could move to infect the brain as quickly as possible.

However, it would not have been possible if not for how the Demon Rat's body works. No matter how permeable Derek had made the zombie virus to be, it would be of no use if there was no blood flowing to the heart and brain of the Demon Rat. But in the end, Derek found out that the workings of 'nature' were on their side as they found out that the Demon Rat's blood flow was actually the fastest when they were dead.

Their hearts would not stop pumping as if to accelerate some sort of matter growth and Derek could only presume that it was because they were changing back into a resource. The System was initially curious about the Demon Rats' physiology, thinking that if they could halt this change, they might be able to reincarnate the Demon Rat, hence having a supply of soldiers under Jin.

However, despite multiple attempts to control it, both the System and Derek felt that it was meaningless and decided to drop such a prospect. Knowing that the blood flow was the fastest upon their death only meant that the virus could seep into their brain quite easily the moment the virus was introduced. Thus with this method, the kill zone box became a breeding ground for more of the zombie troops to emerge.

That was also why the Demon Rat Command responded fiercely when they received word that their own comrades were turning into enemies. The only thing that Jin was surprised by the deployment of those artillery cannons was how ruthless they continued to be by sending incendiary rounds to burn the entire place.

Now the Pandawans had learnt that setting up WARE events to counter the Demon Rats' efforts would be the most effective. They now knew that they were no longer the main assault force and should do everything they could to assist in this current war. It was as if Jin had already given the Pandarens their chance to prove themselves and they were not able to show that they were capable in the fight against such an immense force.

For now, the WARE events included countering the incendiary rounds or making sure that the fire was contained to not burn any more dead corpses that the zombies could utilise. At the same time, Jin was also preparing more troops behind the scenes so that once the Pandarens had completed the WARE events set up by the Pandawans, Jin would be able to send in masses and stop their artillery strikes as soon as possible for their army to advance.

"User could easily send elite troops to deal with the Demon Rat Command right now." The System suggested but Jin shook his head.

"They are not of a swarm mentality, you cut their head off, others would take their place and continue to fight. It is better we continue to counter them accordingly based on the information we are hearing…or until we are fooled by them." Jin said and the System believed Jin would like to drag the battle to fulfil PandaVerse's festival duration.

"Understood. We shall break the shield that is surrounding the hole for now."  The System said as it was waiting for the WARE events to be concluded to move to the next portion of the assault.

But to its surprise, the Pandarens were able to clear the WARE events rather efficiently and allowed the System and Jin to send out their biggest eater when it comes to magic consumption.

Mister Derpy.

Instead of emerging out from the Pillar Base Camp, Mr Derpy teleported out from the Inner Town Camp and headed towards the magical shield that only allowed the pillar tunnel to exist. Since breaking was such a wasteful option, Jin had decided to let Mr Derpy debut early and eat the shield's energy. This not only gives Mr Derpy his daily consumption for the day, but it also will no doubt lower their number of mages. It was literally killing two birds with one stone.

And once they find out that maintaining that magic shield was feasible, that was when the real fun begins...or that was what Jin imagined it to be.
