But it was not enough to prevent the spread of the pestilence. There were already more than ten
thousand people who were infected and suspected to be infected in all cities and towns now. And
hundreds of people died every day because of the deadly disease. So, they had to find an antibody and
develop a vaccine as soon as possible. This was the only way to solve their fundamental problem.
Ten days later, under the unremitting efforts of Rocky and the medical team he led, they finally found an
antibody for the virus from the blood of a little boy.
Rocky immediately spent a whole night developing a vaccine with the use of the antibody. At last, a
vaccine was finally developed, and it was tested on a severely ill patient. About twelve hours later, the
virus in the body of the patient was completely suppressed and he no longer took a turn for the worse.
This only meant that the vaccine was indeed successfully developed.
"It worked! The vaccine really worked!" When Rocky was finally sure that the vaccine had been
successfully developed, he could not help but breathe a deep sigh of relief. His sleepless nights and
countless efforts were not put to waste.
Marcia also smiled with relief as she stood beside Rocky. The success in developing the vaccine meant
that tens of thousands of lives could be saved.
Suddenly, a commander of the Rime Army Group rushed in and said anxiously, "General, there is some
bad news. Something happened in the isolation area. Please immediately go there and check!"
Rocky and Marcia looked at each other when they heard that, and then quickly rushed to the isolation
area. When they arrived, they were immediately shocked by what they saw. The isolation area had
been completely damaged, and thousands of infected and suspected people had been turned into
zombies. They looked extremely ferocious and furious. They were all shrieking and frantically trying to
rush out of the isolation area.
Fortunately, there were a lot of soldiers guarding outside the isolation area, so they blocked the
zombies from rushing out. However, many soldiers were bitten when they confronted the zombies. Just
seconds after being bitten, they quickly underwent a terrifying transformation and turned into zombies
as well.
"What in the world is going on?" Marcia asked in utter surprise. She could not believe what she was
seeing.
Almost at the same time, a huge beast shadow that was the size of a small mountain came from
outside the city. The huge beast shadow's astonishing aura completely spread all around. It looked
down at the whole city and roared loudly. With this, the zombies became crazier.
Rocky and Marcia also heard the booming roar.
"Is that a wild calamity beast?" As soon as Marcia finished her words, she flapped her wings and
immediately flew to the air. She saw the huge beast shadow that appeared outside the city. Although it
was extremely far away, she could still feel the amazing aura it released.
At that moment, Rocky's eyes suddenly turned cold. Looking at the zombies that were still frantically
trying to break out of the encirclement, he suddenly realized that the wild calamity beast was the cause
of the outbreak of the pestilence. And judging from the current situation, the wild calamity beast
seemed to be able to evolve the virus. The evolved virus made the infected human beings turn into
zombies.
"This is all happening so fast. What should we do now?" Marcia immediately asked Rocky as soon as
she landed on the ground.
"Lead the army to protect all the people. Then, evacuate from the city at once. We have to give up the
city this time." Rocky knew that this city would soon become the calamity beast's nest where it
cultivated the zombies. He wouldn't risk the lives of many people, so they couldn't stay here any longer.
"And what about you?" Marcia asked Rocky.
"I'll stay here and buy some time for you," Rocky said as he faintly smiled. He remained composed in
front of everyone amidst the chaotic situation.
"Alright, please be careful." Marcia glanced at Rocky worriedly. Then she ordered the army to withdraw
and began to evacuate all the people in the city towards a safer place.
After the army left, the zombies in the isolation area immediately rushed out. However, a man with
three beasts suddenly appeared in front of them and aggressively rushed into them. Thousands of
zombies instantly surrounded Rocky and the three beasts and launched an incredibly crazy attack.
The calamity beast finally came from outside the city. Wherever it passed, the earth instantly shook,
and the mountains moved. All the buildings it passed immediately turned into ruins.
Soon enough, the beast approached the man and the three beasts who were attacking the zombies. As
it approached, the wild calamity beast roared angrily.
At last, Rocky could finally clearly see the calamity beast. It looked completely different from the one he
had seen in the Water Beast Sea. It looked incredibly old, like a huge sheep covered with gray fur who
hadn't taken a shower for hundreds of years. It also emitted a strong foul stench, and there were a lot
of unknown insects flying around it.
It was the Demonic Plague Beast that could spread plague in the blink of an eye.
Rocky knew how powerful the beast was, so he didn't plan to fight it for a long time. He just wanted to
buy some time so the others could safely escape. After a few moments, he called back Robin and Ken
at once, rode on Uriah and quickly soared to the sky.
"Go, Uriah!" Rocky exclaimed.
Uriah immediately roared, and its several tails quickly intertwined together. In the blink of an eye, a
huge ball of flame condensed and flew directly to the center of the city.
Boom!
A flame light suddenly burst out at the center of the city, immediately turning the city into a sea of fire.
The zombies there were quickly swallowed up by the spreading flames. Countless zombies were
completely burned into ashes.
When the Demonic Plague Beast saw this, it became extremely angry. Its aura soared, and then it took
a long deep breath. The next moment, it spurted a wave of strong poison towards Rocky.
Even though Rocky had quickly held his breath and avoided the attack with Uriah, the poison instantly
shrouded the entire area as soon as it dissipated with the wind.
As a result, Rocky suddenly felt completely powerless. It was not only him, but Uriah also felt weak. Its
body swayed in the air a few times, then suddenly fell to the ground.
"Damn it! It got us!" Rocky didn't expect that the poison was so powerful that it could still have an
impact on him and Uriah even when they held their breath.
Seeing that Rocky and Uriah were poisoned and fell to the ground, the Demonic Plague Beast
immediately went up to them, as if planning to give them an extremely fatal blow.
At that very moment, Rocky and Uriah couldn't resist at all. All they could do was watch the Demonic
Plague Beast approach them. The next moment, it lifted its huge feet and was about to stomp on them.
Rocky and Uriah would be likely killed by the beast at any moment now.
