"You would like to do what…?" Half Ghoul Lord could not believe his ears and the rest of the Grey Bear Squad was quite interested in what Jin had whispered to Derek about.

"Oh come on. There is nothing to hide among us, right?" Diaz was insistent on learning the truth, probably due to the Streisand effect of not knowing at all. Even Tellie who usually did not care about things also wanted to know what Jin was hiding.

"Fine. Fine. I told Derek that perhaps with enough samples, we do not only make a vaccine. But also make a poison or virus that can be as lethal as the zombie viruses against a particular group of people."

"Lol, what group are you thinking of that needs you to do this kind of stuff?" Click was now interested too.

"The people on the Celestial plane to be more specific." When Jin said that, the Grey Bears did not have any idea who they were until they searched through the System's database to have an understanding of what they do and why they posed a threat to Jin that he wanted to use such a method against them.

"Heh. If that really works. It would be Karma in disguise." Half Ghoul Lord Derek smirked when he heard that his target audience for the zombie virus was the Celestial Gods.

"But… If you do that, won't that make the Celestial Gods even more dangerous? They would be mindless, hungry for flesh, and also powerful enough to make things disappear even faster." Yinn queried.

"At least, they are mindless and will fight among themselves first," Jin replied.

"You are assuming they do not grow out from the Zombie Virus and gain a sort of immortality that would be impossible to fight against," Derek commented and warned his plan might backfire even though he still thinks that Karmic Justice was rather sweet to savour.

"The System also does not recommend the destruction of the Celestial plane using the proposed Zombie Virus. While they may have proven to be a threat against User, like the Demons, they are actually vital for the balance of the world."

"What. So, you are saying even though they might be assholes, we still need them?" Jin asked and the System acknowledged positively to that query.

"Imagine what would happen if all the Celestials had been killed? The Demons would take this as an opportunity to take reign of various worlds and grow to an unstoppable force."

"Technically speaking, those Celestials if we kill them, they would be under us. Am I right? We can use the Celestials to kill the Demons and gain the both of them."

"And? Have User thought of the situation where the disappearance of the Celestials and Demons could cause?" The System prompted and hinted that there might be other forces that both the good and bad were holding back.

"Lol, you mean like the Outer Gods? Like ehh the Chuchulu? Deep Ones? Our dear little Derpy?"

"Possible. The System while do not have the ability to speculate, there were supposed lores hidden within the memories of Mister Derpy which indicated otherwise." The System stated and Jin laid back on his chair to think about it.

"Well.. we can just concoct the Zombie Virus first and see if we ever need to use it. But should the vaccine prove to be effective and useful in the future, there is also a chance for Derek to be able to transform the people back from the zombies." Jin commented that all the zombies that the Grey Bears were going to kill would eventually enter the System due to the System's Dungeon Supplier capability.

"I have no qualms with killing Zombies. Ladies, let's go stock up on our ammunition and weapons before entering the Zombie World." Yinn said and Jin reminded them that they should utilise the new storage rings that they had been gifted by Jin.

"With those rings, you can definitely store a good amount of weapons. And BRING THE WEAPONS BACK! They cost money." Jin said as the System had ensured that the Mechanoids had been installed with a similar system to what Lynn had used. It is just that it's of a smaller scale due to the fact that they had already been upgraded quite a fair bit from their previous monster boss upgrades.

Miniature Prototype Dantian Engine or that's what the System had named it before installing it into the Mechanoids. With this, they would be able to utilise not just a tad bit of chi, they would be able to get used to it and use stuff like the storage ring which required chi to be activated. It would also act as a backup power supply should their batteries be fried either by electromagnetic pulse or because they overused it.

Either way, this particular scouting mission was also used to test out whether the creation of their designs was feasible for combat too since they had not been able to try out any features of their mechanoid bodies after their data had been installed into them.

And with Jin allowing them to have free roam in the Zombie World also meant that they did not have to worry about friendlies. Whoever they see, will instantly be marked as an enemy. Derek even confirmed that there should be no humans around at all.

But intelligent zombies might be of another matter entirely however, he believed there should not be any creature who is able to reach his level. Still, there was no guarantee, especially with how the Celestials had transformed all of them into zombies, that there might be mutations occurring just as how Derek saw his zombies mutating into something else.

The only difference is that Derek was able to control how the zombies under his control were mutating since there was the aid of the System to assist with it. Thus, he had no idea what kind of monsters the Grey Bear Squad would encounter.

With the explanation out of the way, Jin had decided to allow them to choose which part of the map they wished to go. And for all places, the group had decided to a portion of the Great Wall in Derek's China.

"Why? You can go see Paris, The Statue of Liberty or what left's of it, the Pyramids and other things. Why the Great Wall?" Jin asked.

"Because you had a dungeon instance that featured the Great Wall of China along with the zombies. We had some System knowledge of the area based on that dungeon instance and would like to use that as a basis for scouting." Yinn replied and Jin could not help but shake his head.

"You do not have to rely on past data… Fine, we need to pick a place anyways and I did give you permission to choose where you want to go." Jin said as he attempted to pick a portion of the Great Wall that was closest to Beijing so that there would be a city they could travel to and check the area out."

"The Research and Development section had informed the System that they had made prototype roller blades and requested the System to get minions to test it out. Since the world the Grey Bear Squad is going would be filled with nothing but Zombies. Hence, with transportation might be a pain, the System had proposed to allow the Grey Bears to use these prototype rollerblades along as well."

"Don't we have that Mindjacker Floating Module?" Tellie questioned and the System rejected such a notion.

"The data collected from the Synthesis World had proven to be expensive for the Mindjacker Floating Module to be implemented. It is possible that the Grey Bear Mechanoids have a larger capacity than the Dantian Engine. For now, please use those rollerblades and ensure that all your monster upgrades can be used. Otherwise, send the required forms to necessitate a change in the Mechanoid structure." The System stated and the Grey Bears noted the requirements for the scouting mission.

"Remember to take some pictures as well" Jin bid them goodbye as they entered the Minion's portion of the Armoury Instance. Bai Xin was there to greet them since she currently did not have many customers and the Red Pandas were able to service them instead.

"I got the message from the System. The rollerblades are over there in that experimental prototype section. The gun selection is in the Weapon Instance under the supervision of my brother so you can get them there. But your combat vest and armoured clothes would be in Aisle 3 and 5 respectively." Bai Xin said and the Grey Bears thanked her for the direction.

"Oh, by the way. Do you have deployable armour stands? Or is that under the Weapons instance?" Click asked and Bai Xin told her to check Aisle 9 as they were considered to be armoured accessories.

"Just a gentle reminder, watches and combat shoes are in Aisle 1 and 4. Night Vision goggles and helmets are in Aisle 2."

"Basically, get go to almost every Aisle then," Diaz remarked and Bai Xin chuckled while putting her tongue out.

"Hehe, please remember to check out as the System needs to deduct System points if needed. But if Jin was the one sending you guys out, the System should have prepared a certain budget. The rest of the System points, you can get it from Jin." Bai Xin added and the Grey Bears were excited.

Even though they had been in combat for years and intensive combat when they were with Jin, this was the first time they had real moving bodies with metal and synthetic flesh parts meshing all as one.

They could not wait to get their weapons and make their way into the Zombie World.
