This update expands the Z-Virus module with two new mutant gene fragments: Niter Zombie and Fire-Resistant Zombie. The brand-new mechanics enrich fire combat and monster assault systems, bringing more unpredictable battles and strategic depth. Detailed updates are as follows.

1. New Gene Fragment: Niter Zombie

Name: Niter Zombie

Mutation Principle: Z-Virus is modified via gene editing, enabling zombies to synthesize potassium nitrate crystals inside their bodies. They possess highly flammable constitutions that trigger burning damage bonus when struck.

Scaling Effects by Level

Level 1: 1% chance to ignite the zombie on hit. Ignited targets take an additional 800% damage.

Level 2: 2% chance to ignite the zombie on hit. Ignited targets take an additional 800% damage.

Level 3: 3% chance to ignite the zombie on hit. Ignited targets take an additional 800% damage.

Level 4: 4% chance to ignite the zombie on hit. Ignited targets take an additional 800% damage.

Level 5: 5% chance to ignite the zombie on hit. Ignited targets take an additional 800% damage.

Mechanic Introduction: This is a vulnerability-type mutant gene. The flammable crystal trait allows massive bonus damage upon ignition. It serves as an effective breakthrough for players to defeat powerful enemies and eliminate foes swiftly.

2. New Gene Fragment: Fire-Resistant Zombie

Name: Fire-Resistant Zombie

Mutation Principle: Z-Virus genes are restructured to grant zombies fire tolerance. It greatly reduces suppression from fire damage and ignition effects, countering fire-based builds effectively.

Scaling Effects by Level

Level 1: 20% chance to fully resist ignition.

Level 2: 40% chance to fully resist ignition.

Level 3: 60% chance to fully resist ignition.

Level 4: 80% chance to fully resist ignition.

Level 5: 100% ignition resistance, completely immune to burning effects.

Mechanic Introduction: This mutant gene counters fire damage. Max-level zombies are fully protected from ignition. Players may freely weigh and choose their preferred combat builds.

The two new virus genes form a balanced opposing system, greatly enhancing build diversity, build selection and tactical combat depth.
