A ray of light enveloped Novak, and in the next moment, the scenery around him shifted.
Every World Secret Realm was an incomparable opportunity, and this one was no exception.
The fact that players could exit freely already made this dungeon incredibly appealing to evolutionaries.
Being able to withdraw at any moment meant minimal risk of death, while still allowing for maximum plundering of rewards.
Novak didn't rush to leave. Instead, his eyes scanned the exchange list, curiosity piqued.

Most of these items were common knowledge among evolutionaries.
However, if these were the only exchangeable goods available, the dungeon's rewards would hold little value for Novak.
His gaze drifted downward—until something caught his eye.
His eyebrows lifted slightly.
[Gene Medicine Manufacturing & Processing Factory (No Grade)]Type: Industrial EquipmentEffect: A fully functional gene medicine processing factory.Capabilities: If raw materials are available, it can manufacture:X Mutation PotionCell Activation MedicineBrain Power Supplement MedicineRequirements: Needs electricity and mechanical energy to operate.Exchange Price: 1,000,000 contribution points per unit
This factory might be useless to most—
But for White Emperor City, it was a gold mine waiting to be claimed!
Previously, when constructing White Emperor City, they had obtained lathe blueprints and intelligent core blueprints—both essential for generating electricity and mechanical power.
With this factory, White Emperor City could mass-produce its own medicine.
A true golden goose!
A fixed production line capable of endlessly generating wealth and resources!
Novak let out a long breath, only to feel an oppressive dry heat creeping up his skin.
He was in a desert.
Not just any desert—
This place was more barren than any wasteland he had ever seen.
Yet, beneath the shifting sands, he could faintly make out the remnants of roads, barely visible under layers of dust.
This was a city.
A city buried beneath the sand.
There were traces of civilization, half-swallowed by time.
Novak scanned the landscape and frowned slightly.
His purpose here wasn't to earn points or hunt for rare resources like other evolutionaries.
No—he had come for one reason.
To kill.
He had chosen not to team up with Nicole or Daphne.
Not because he doubted their strength—he trusted them completely.
But if a real threat emerged, he could simply retreat at will.
Bringing them along would only slow down his killing efficiency.
Still…
If this world had truly fallen to the zombies, and civilization had been completely wiped out, then there should be hordes of undead wandering about.
Yet—
As far as his eyes could see—
There was nothing.
No humans.
No zombies.
Only the boundless yellow sand stretching endlessly in all directions.
"What the hell? Wasn't the world fusion supposed to bring me to a city? Why am I in the middle of a desert?"
Novak frowned. He couldn't understand the situation, but he had long since trained himself to trust his instincts rather than question them.
Activating his Secret-Seeking Eyes, he sharpened his vision to the extreme—
And then, he saw it.
Far off on the horizon, beyond the endless sea of yellow sand—
The faint outlines of buildings.
SWOOSH!!
A deafening sonic boom tore through the silence.
Novak vanished from his position, leaving no trace in the sand.
In a flash of electric light, he reappeared miles away, his speed breaking past the limits of human perception.
And then—
As he neared the city's outskirts—
He finally saw what he had been searching for.
Zombies.
At first glance, there weren't many of them.
But something was fundamentally different about these zombies compared to the ones back on Kepler.
On Kepler, zombies had cyan-hued flesh, often marred with corpse spots.
Here, however—
Their skin was covered in layers of dull pigmentation, forming what seemed to be a hardened, protective shell over their bodies.
Even at a glance, Novak could tell—
These zombies were stronger.
His Peeping Eye activated, immediately feeding him information.
[Zombie – Level 16]
(Attributes: Omitted for brevity)
[Skills]
Speed EnhancementDefense EnhancementStrength (King's Might) EnhancementEnhanced Sense of Smell
Every single ability was a passive enhancement.
Meaning these creatures weren't just fast—they were terrifyingly powerful.
And unlike the virus-mutated zombies of Kepler, these were true biological predators.
Novak didn't hesitate.
With a sudden burst of motion, he lunged forward—
His Biochemical Claws ripped through the zombie's body in an instant.
[Killed a mid-level ordinary zombie – Earned 10 contribution points!]
But he didn't stop there.
Instead of devouring the remains immediately, he reached into the zombie's chest—
And pulled out a dark, frozen heart.
The Virus King's ability kicked in immediately, analyzing the zombie virus down to its core.
[The Virus King talent has activated...]
[High-concentration, high-risk zombie virus variant detected. Evolution Points +20.]
Novak's eyes gleamed.
This world is really a treasure trove.
A world overflowing with resources—
And he was going to take everything it had to offer!
