809 Reversal!

"Hurry, everyone, move faster!" The personnel-in-charge on-board the transport spacecraft called out loudly using the translation device. "Our Lord and Young Master Dali have begun fighting against the Zergs. According to the latest news, billions of Zergs have been eliminated, but there are still a lot more of them. Our Lord and Young Master Dali are trying their best to hold the Zergs back and give everyone more time! So, everyone, please queue up properly and evacuate quickly, don't waste their efforts!"

When they heard that Hong Dali had eliminated more than one billion Zergs, although they did not have many details, they were certain about one thing. That was, Hong Dali was indeed fighting, fighting for the survival of mankind!

"Hurry up, don't let Young Master's efforts go to waste!"

"Those up front, quickly, don't dally. Hurry up, Young Master is buying us time!"

"Leave everything, time is life, comrades. When we get there, will Young Master leave us lacking anything?"

"Yes, yes, throw away anything that is not particularly useful, hurry up!"

"I can't throw this away. My money, all my money is in this bag!"

"Why are you bringing that? Don't you have Dali Dollars? When we get there, we can use Dali Dollars as a universal currency. Why are you still bringing physical cash?"

"I forgot about that—forget it, I'll take two pieces as a memento. That's okay, right?"

"That's obvious. Hurry up!"

…

On the space carrier.

"Bureau Chief, how is the evacuation of the people on Earth getting along?" Hong Dali asked the Bureau Chief who was rushing over. "When we get to the new place, do we have a universal currency? It'll be bad if riots happen or something."

"Brat, you don't know yet, do you?" The Bureau Chief smiled. "Remember the Dali Dollars you came up with in the past? The various countries have talked about it and came to the common decision to use Dali Dollars as the universal currency when we get to our new home. It has an exchange rate of 1 to 1.2 yuan. That means one Dali Dollar is equivalent to 1.2 yuan. All the people in all the countries have exchanged their cash for Dali Dollars, and it has already been credited into their personal accounts. You brat, who would have thought Dali Dollars would come in useful at a time like this?"

"This…" Hong Dali opened his eyes wide. "It works like that?! When I created it, I was just bored…"

"Brat, your ability to muddle through things is really unmatched." The Bureau Chief scolded laughingly. "We are all in awe. Who would have thought that all the things you come up with will be useful at unexpected times such as this?"

"Haha, haha." Hong Dali was a little embarrassed.

"Alright, stop being emotional." The Bureau Chief smiled. "How is the arrangement for the virus-carrying spacecrafts coming along?"

"Everything has been arranged." Hong Dali nodded and said, "There is a total of one thousand fighter spacecrafts which have been specially coated with the virus. The Zergs will be attracted to them like flies to dung, then all we have to do is sit back and watch."

"Yes. Hopefully, it will be successful this time too. Otherwise, if we go head-to-head with them, we are likely to lose," said the Bureau Chief gravely.

"It must be!"

…

Among the stars in space.

One thousand spacecrafts carrying the new zombie virus flew toward the Zerg swarm.

These one thousand spacecrafts were all damaged ships that were fit only to be recycled. This was the perfect time to use them.

The spacecrafts had all been polished till they shone. Hong Dali even arranged for butter to be brushed on their surface, so they all looked like pieces of delicious cream cakes…

"This virus must work!" Inside the space carriers, everyone's eyes were riveted on the holographic projection screen. Even Hong Jianye was extremely anxious.

After all, this plan was proposed by him. If it did not work, it would be bad for him—he would be kicked out of the space carrier…

The Zerg army was getting closer and closer to the space carrier.

Obviously, other than the high heat and huge shockwave, the nuclear radiation from the detonation of those five nuclear bombs had very little effect on the Zergs.

They flew through the nuclear blast area almost unharmed and headed straight for the four Stellar-level Space Carriers that Hong Dali and the others were on.

Thirty million kilometers…

Twenty million kilometers…

After flying for more than an hour, the Zergs finally came face to face with the one thousand virus-carrying spacecrafts!

"Fire!" Hong Dali ordered. Over one thousand unmanned ships opened fire at the same time!

This battle plan was specially formulated to ensure that the Zergs would take action against these ships. The aim was simple—to attract the attention of the Zergs.

Boom, boom, boom!

More than a thousand unmanned spacecraft with particle guns on-board fired at the same time and countless Zergs were hit, but with their huge number advantage, the Zergs practically ignored the damage from these particle guns.

However, Hong Dali and the others had achieved their goal!

The Zergs flew towards the spacecrafts. They soon neared and tore into the ships, then spit out thick acid, melting the spacecrafts. Finally, more than fifty thousand Zergs opened their large mouths and swallowed the spacecrafts!

They had eaten the virus-infected spacecrafts!

Seeing this, everyone in the carrier started feeling anxious. The first part of their plan was successful. What about the second step?

Everyone was concentrating so hard that they practically forgot to breathe.

Whether their plan would succeed or not would depend on what happened next.

It was obvious the humans from Earth had rather good luck. The Zergs who ate the spacecraft initially continued flying in the direction of the space carrier, but soon, they started to change!

On the holographic projection image, the Zergs which had eaten the spacecrafts infected with the virus quickly grew a strange white spore from their head, trunk, and wings. The spores looked like exposed brains. Furthermore, sprouts began to grow from the spores and shoot outwards!

Soon, more than 50,000 Zergs infected with the new zombie virus began to behave strangely!

They no longer flew in the direction of the carrier. Instead, they started to bite other Zergs close to them once they touched each other!

In the beginning, it was only a little over 50,000 Zergs biting other uninfected Zergs. Their strange behavior attracted the attention of other Zergs, and these other uninfected Zergs began to bite them.

Fifty-thousand zombie Zergs were too few, they were eaten up in just an instant.

Just then, a truly spectacular scene happened!

The Zergs who ate the zombie Zergs also begun to mutate!

The first 50,000 zombie Zergs were eaten by nearly half a million Zergs. The half a million Zergs were then infected, and the virus continued to spread, infecting five million, then 50 million!

In the end, the zombie Zergs infected almost all the Zergs that were flying towards the carrier!

More than 500 million of them! Behind them were more than four billion normal Zergs!

At this time, the Zergs in the back began to retreat. They retreated at a faster rate than they had advanced. Soon, they moved into Saturn's ring and then stopped moving.

What happened in space today was amazing.

More than 500 million zombie Zergs wandered aimlessly in space. These Zergs had become a natural barrier between Earth and the other Zergs in space. The Zergs did not dare approach, and Hong Dali, as well as the others, would not be so stupid as to seek out trouble themselves…

"We succeeded?!" In the carrier, Hong Dali and the others looked dumbstruck at the holographic image. Honestly speaking, they could not believe that their plan had actually succeeded.

"Hahaha! Success! It really succeeded!" Everyone cheered loudly and hugged each other excitedly.

"Success! Success!" Regardless of who he was holding in his arms, Hong Dali gave everyone a big kiss. Then, he realized that his feet hurt from being viciously stomped on…

At this time, Hong Dali finally realized what he was doing. He looked up and immediately froze.

He was kissing Jiang Qianxue. His left foot was stomped on by an angry and embarrassed Jiang Qianxue. His right foot was stomped on by Tang Muxin—Tang Muxin even viciously smashed her foot down extra hard…

"Ah, a mistake! Haha, a mistake!" Hong Dali hurriedly explained, "I was too excited just now. It's an accident, haha. It's an accident…"

"You're just making excuses!" Tang Muxin turned away angrily. "Humph!"

Of course, this was just a small tantrum. At a time when everyone was happy, a mistake like this was understandable…

"Keep away from me!" Jiang Qianxue turned red with embarrassment and moved ten meters away from Hong Dali. "Don't come near me!"

Damn, I'm not a Zerg. Did you need to run so far…

"Okay." Hong Dali sniffed. "I'm so happy today, hehe, hehe…"

Of course, these were just vignettes…

Blocking the Zerg with a zombie virus was a fantastic reversal of their current situation!

Earth had been driven to a corner by the Zergs. However, no one could have imagined that an idea so flawed it was practically like a leaky pipe completely blocked the Zergs' advancement!

Although this method could not solve their Zerg problem, what Hong Dali and others needed most now was time! As long as all the people on Earth were evacuated, it did not matter if they decided to fight or run later, everything would be easier!

"Hahaha! We finally succeeded! It was not easy!" Hong Dali wiped cold sweat off his head. "It was really hard. These bugs scared me! Fourth Uncle's method is indeed effective, haha!"

Everyone was ecstatic.

Now that they had gained more time, the next thing was to get the rest of Earth to move as soon as possible.
