Virus King - Chapter 137

Chapter 137: Aberrant and Lord! A Bountiful Harvest!

TL: YYang

Compared to other zombies, this one bore no filthy bloodstains or scars on its body.

In fact, if not for its bloodshot eyes and pale, slightly bluish skin, one might not even recognize it as a zombie. It looked more like an actual human Evolver.

That face—it was so familiar.

Even Chen Bai, with his normally composed demeanor, was momentarily stunned. He had never expected to encounter someone familiar amidst the zombie horde during the apocalypse.

What were the odds of this happening?

Yet, clearly, this familiar face, whether in life or death, had never left a good impression on Chen Bai.

The moment Chen Bai locked eyes with the zombie, he felt as if his skull had been struck by a heavy hammer.

A mental shock!

These mental-type enemies—couldn’t they come up with something new?

Chen Bai narrowed his eyes, enduring the pain. In the next instant, his claws extended to intercept an attack from above.

Another Tyrant!

However, unlike the previous Tyrant he encountered, this one was slimmer, having mutated from a female zombie. While its strength was weaker, its speed and agility far surpassed that of the earlier one.

Chen Bai swung his claws fiercely. Despite the sensation of his head about to explode, his claws still pierced with precision, stabbing directly into the Tyrant’s skull.

The Lord at the end of the corridor froze momentarily.

In its eyes, a distinctly human expression of fear appeared—a fear so deeply ingrained that it seemed etched into its very bones and soul.

This fear had existed even when it was alive, a dread of Chen Bai that had been imprinted on it forever.

This explained why, in Meng Meng’s perspective, a Lord so powerful—protected by countless zombie hordes and two elite bodyguards—would flee upon seeing Chen Bai approach.

However, this terror was quickly replaced by resentment and fury.

Its rotting brain could no longer form coherent thoughts, but one desire remained—it wanted to kill the human before it and devour his brain!

Only then could it feel satisfied!

Only then could its inexplicable agitation vanish!

Through the zombies’ shared vision, it could clearly see that ordinary zombies posed no threat to this human.

And now, even its freshly created Tyrant had been instantly killed by this human.

All that remained was its final trump card!

Chen Bai turned his gaze to the mutated creature standing beside the Lord.

Its entire body was jet black, with cracks resembling molten lava. Red streaks coursed through the cracks, emitting wisps of black smoke.

A fire-type Aberrant?!

Aberrants referred to mutated zombies with elemental abilities.

Among all the elemental types, Aberrants were the most diverse. After all, elemental power was the foundation of nature’s forces.

Fire, though common, was undoubtedly one of the most destructive elements in combat.

Almost immediately, another mental shock struck. Chen Bai resolved that after this encounter, he must find some mental defense skills.

His own spirit was already strong, and this Lord’s spirit wasn’t superior to his. Yet, there seemed to be no way to resist these mental shock abilities.

Suppressing the searing pain in his head, Chen Bai narrowed his eyes.

The next moment, a massive burst of explosive flames surged toward him, its scorching heat detonating at the spot where Chen Bai had just stood.

The walls and structures of the room were incinerated into ashes in an instant!

Yet, in the very next moment, an even more terrifying heat began to ignite within the confines of the restroom.

Chen Bai slowly removed the bird-beak mask.

His eyes glimmered with a cold, unrelenting light.

Black flames surged and burned all over his body.

The two mutated creatures, however, showed no sign of retreat.

In fact, the Aberrant, its magma-like fiery patterns now surging with even greater intensity, stopped forming explosive fireballs. Instead, it charged directly at Chen Bai!

Its speed surpassed even that of the previous Tyrant!

A blazing fist was aimed straight at him.

A melee fighter, too!?

That made things much simpler!

The black inferno of hellfire cloaked Chen Bai’s body completely.

Instead of retreating, Chen Bai advanced!

The Aberrant, visibly shocked, watched as Chen Bai’s fist, also shrouded in black flames, came crashing toward it.

Crack!

The crisp sound of breaking bones echoed sharply, sending chills down one’s spine.

Even zombies had bones! And the sound of those bones shattering was both vivid and piercing.

However, the most terrifying aspect wasn’t the impact but the flames—those unrelenting, consuming flames.

Without a doubt, the Aberrant had exceptional control over fire and immense power.

But that depended on what it was compared to!

Chen Bai’s attributes across the board were nearing a whopping 200-point threshold, far surpassing these mutated creatures.

Moreover, his only combat skill, Infernal Flame, was extraordinarily potent.

The inextinguishable black hellfire from the abyss was dozens of times stronger than ordinary explosive flames!

The moment their fists collided, the terrifying black flames erupted, engulfing the Aberrant entirely.

In an instant, the Aberrant’s remaining zombie life was utterly consumed.

With that, Chen Bai turned his attention to the Lord, who had been bombarding him with mental shocks.

“Roar!”

Pure mental attacks, unless the gap in mental strength was enormous, couldn’t directly threaten one’s life.

But, a sudden blow to the head—it could indeed be unbearable.

Now that he had dealt with the two bodyguards, it was finally time to eliminate the mastermind hiding behind the countless waves of zombies.

With his claws extended, he struck. For mental-type creatures, whether they were Evolvers or zombies, it was like in a game—if someone closed the distance, their life was essentially forfeited.

Chen Bai’s hand shot out, gripping the Lord’s neck in an instant!

At that moment, the Lord’s bloodshot eyes seemed to redden even further. From its dried, shattered vocal cords, it managed to squeeze out two hoarse words:

“Chen… Bai…”

Unfortunately for it, Chen Bai’s gaze merely flickered slightly.

In the blink of an eye, two items dropped to the ground. After extracting the crucial parts he needed from both the Aberrant and the Lord, blood-red mycelium carpet spread rapidly, completely consuming the remains.

They were utterly and irrevocably dead.

Chen Bai’s narrowed eyes reflected satisfaction. This mission had yielded an exceptional harvest.

Most notably, the Biochemical Disaster Blueprint—it could finally be put to good use!
