Me? The director of the Asylum of All Heavens!

Chapter 131 Red-haired Spiritual Leader
"Everyone's mechanical ascension?" Jinx was stunned.

"That is the ultimate doomsday of this world. Victor assimilated all humans, unified their consciousness, and left only the ascended mechanical body. The wild rune we saw encompassed countless parallel universes, but they will all eventually lead to this unique ending. I don't know if our interference with the world line will accelerate this process, but it is still better to be careful."

Lin Zizhi swallowed hard and spoke cautiously.

"As for the Laughing Storm Goddess, looking at the miasma all over the ground, you can tell that something must have gone wrong with the Storm Goddess. The worst case scenario is that she has been infected by the Laughing Virus. As far as I know, the Laughing Virus is contagious enough to infect gods."

At this moment, a human figure finally appeared in the gray-green miasma, but when they got closer, they found that the man's body was severely rotten, like a walking corpse.

Sensing someone approaching, the zombie moved its stiff torso and pounced towards them with a roar.

Lloyd Foldger shot the man in the head with one shot, then frowned: "Has the virus developed a new variant? We were only away for nine days, how could he have rotted into this state?"

Jinx became nervous: "Have we been away for more than nine days?"

Harley Quinn put on gloves and carefully examined the body.

From time to time, one or two badly decayed zombies jumped out of the miasma, but they were all easily dealt with by the crowd, and without exception, none of them were resurrected again.

After a while, Harley Quinn threw away the gloves and stood up:

"This is the undead zombie we have seen. It relies on low-quality Dionysus factor and mutant glimmer to sustain life. But now the Dionysus factor and glimmer in the air seem to have been drained. It has lost its source of survival and can only decompose energy from itself, which accelerates its decay. As for the time we have been away, it should not be more than ten days. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be nine days."

Jinx breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Zizhi laughed: "This is good news. It means that the Storm Goddess Janna has fulfilled our agreement. She has drained all the viruses from Zaun. The undead zombies have lost the ability to resurrect. We just need to be alert to the Joker virus and Laughing virus infected people who are hiding somewhere unknown."

At this moment, wolf howls were heard all around.

Lin Zizhi's face changed drastically: "I almost forgot, there are also these mutant werewolves!"

A pair of creepy scarlet eyes lit up in the gray-green poisonous miasma.

Lin Zizhi and the others stood back to back, alerting the surrounding environment. At this moment, the manhole cover was opened, and a bright red hair emerged.

“Vi?” Jinx whispered in disbelief.

The man was wearing a full-coverage gas mask, so his face couldn't be seen clearly. He just desperately told them to hide in the sewer.

Everyone jumped into the manhole cover, except Jinx, who stood there in confusion due to the mental shock.

Chaotic lines flashed through her mind. She ignored the wolf howls getting closer and closer. Only Wei's words "Becaus, you're jinx" echoed wildly in her mind.

Her fingers were shaking on the trigger of the submachine gun, and the red-haired woman saw that she was standing there motionless and reached out her hand to her.

This time, Jinx finally overcame her madness, rationally held the hand extended by the red-haired woman, and jumped into the manhole cover with her.

The werewolves rushed into the gray fog, sniffing the bloody smell in the air and found the corpse of the undead zombie dissected by Harley Quinn.

They pounced on it and devoured it.

The sewer was dark at this time. The red-haired woman struck a match and lit a lantern.

Jinx pointed her gun at her cautiously and said seriously, "Take off your mask and let me see your face."

The red-haired woman swallowed dryly and raised her hands.

"Come on, Jinx, she just saved our lives." Lin Zizhi pressed down the barrel of Jinx's gun.

“I just wanted to see her face,” Jinx said stubbornly.

At this time, Harley Quinn, who was eager to watch the fun, had run behind the red-haired woman and took off her mask.

The person under the mask was not Wei, but a black girl with dreadlocks and some freckles.

Jinx couldn't tell whether she was relieved or disappointed. She laughed dryly a few times, squinted her eyes and moved closer to the other person to observe the face carefully.

"Your hair looks like it was just dyed. Let me guess, another guy who wants to imitate my sister? I really don't understand what's so good about her? She always makes wrong choices! She abandoned me! She abandoned Zaun! How can she still be your spiritual support?"

Jinx became more and more angry, gesticulating to express her dissatisfaction. Lloyd Folger was afraid that her exaggerated body movements would scare the girl, so he quickly stopped her. "Thank you for saving our lives. What's your name?" Lloyd Folger asked politely.

"You're welcome. My name is Gert. I just happened to pass by here. And blue-haired girl, you're wrong. Vi has never really given up on anything. She won't give up Zaun, nor will she give up on anyone. Yes, she is our spiritual pillar, but red is not only the color of Vi's hair, it is also the flame of resistance, the symbol of fearlessness, and the hope that will lead us out of the dark underground. In this apocalyptic wasteland, the people of Undercity will rush towards it like moths to a flame as long as there is a glimmer of light. And Vi is the flame in our eyes. I don't know what kind of conflicts you have had with your sister, but you might as well go and talk to her face to face. Sisters, how can there be overnight grudges?"

Gert smiled and wanted to pat Jinx's shoulder, but Jinx retracted her shoulder slightly vigilantly like a shy kitten.

“That’s easy for you to say.” Jinx muttered softly.

Gert smiled into her eyes and slowly but firmly reached out his hand to Jinx's shoulder.

Jinx didn't dare look her in the eyes, but perhaps because she felt that she meant no harm, Jinx let her pat her on the shoulder.

"Believe me, I have sisters too," Gert said.

Jinx's eyes were red for a moment. Before Gert turned and left, Jinx called her: "Hey, um... do you really know where my sister is?"

Gert laughed and said, "Come on, follow me. We have built an underground base under the leadership of your sister. It is next to the Wildfire Gang. You will like it."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't expect that Wei's whereabouts would be found so easily.

"Wait for me!" Jinx caught up with her first.

The roads underground are complicated, but Gert can always find the marks he left among the countless forks in the road and lead everyone deeper.

Everyone followed Gert into the dark sewer and couldn't help asking her what had happened in the past nine days.

As far as she knew, nine days ago, the storm goddess Janna suddenly appeared and blew away all the poisonous fog in Zaun and into the sky.

But she seemed to overestimate her ability. She was unable to blow the virus away. Instead, she compressed it into a wind ball and used the power of the ocean to sink it to the bottom of the sea.

Then Janna disappeared.

The residents of Zaun thought the disaster was over and took to the streets to celebrate their survival, but they were unexpectedly attacked by zombies.

They overlooked one thing: Janna only blocked the airborne transmission of the virus, but the virus could still be transmitted through the blood.

The laughing alchemy barons are capturing people everywhere. They transform people into those infected with the clown virus or those infected with the laughing virus according to their different qualifications.

The people of Zaun wanted to escape, but Piltover simply blew up the bridge and cut off land transportation.

At this point, those who wanted to escape Zaun only had two options: air or sea. But to make matters worse, it never came.

No one knew what had happened to the storm goddess Janna, but she rolled up a hurricane to block Zaun's entire sky route. At the same time, she gained power over the ocean and stirred up a tsunami vortex to block Zaun's entire ocean escape route.

At this point, Zaun has completely become a cage, and the people of Zaun have become lambs to be slaughtered on the zombies' tables.

The survivors flocked to larger forces in hopes of survival. Hilco established a base in the dock factory, and the Noxians established a base in the alchemy factory. The remaining people who failed to find a backer lived in constant fear, fearing that they would be captured and turned into monsters.

Gert was one of them. Her home was near the Black Alley, too far away from the two major forces. She was soon captured by people infected with the mad virus and taken to the Black Alley, the base camp of the Laughing Alchemy Barons.

There, she thought she would die, but at this moment, Wei appeared. She broke into the black alley wearing her hextech gloves and killed the fat alchemy baron Laughing Cross who was responsible for capturing people for conversion.

That was a good opportunity. Laughing Finn took most of the Laughing Alchemy Barons to attack Hilco's territory at the dock factory, and the Laughing Cross who stayed behind was killed by Wei.

Wei led the others to try to take back the Black Alley, but at this moment, something strange happened. The ventilation ducts in the upper city were closed, and the miasma in the lower city began to spread.

These poisonous gases have no effect on those infected with the virus, but they are threatening to ordinary people in Zaun, greatly reducing their combat effectiveness.

Eventually, Wei led everyone back underground to avoid the zombies and miasma, and used a complex underground network to attack the enemy.

She established a base and reached a cooperative relationship with the Wildfire Gang, and Gert was responsible for going out to search for survivors.

"Wow, classic tunnel warfare!" Lin Zizhi laughed. A complex underground environment like Zaun is indeed a good place to practice tunnel warfare. Wei, who likes to speak with her fists, made the right choice this time.
