Virus King - Chapter 15

Chapter 15: The Darklight Virus Awakens Again! Mother and Daughter!

TL: YYang

Chen Bai didn’t choose to invest his evolution points into the “Mental Infection” option.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to; he simply wasn’t qualified!

[Unlocking Spiritual Virus Infection Evolution requires 10 Evolution Points and a Spiritual Power attribute of ≥ 50 points!]

Clearly, this “Mental Infection” was a specialized evolution type within the virus infection branch.

And not to mention, those 10 evolution points alone were already an unimaginable amount for Chen Bai. As for having a Spiritual Power attribute high enough? Impossible at this stage.

Perhaps he’d need to awaken his Darklight Virus to a certain level, or possibly even reach a high tier and then pump all his free attribute points into Spiritual Power to get close.

Evidently, neither option was achievable right now.

The Darklight Virus was still the best choice!

[Darklight Virus Evolution Awakening Progress Increased! Current Progress: 0.4%! Total Additional Attributes Increased: Strength +22, Agility +22, Constitution +22, Spirit +22! Health Recovery Rate +200%!]

0.4%!

At this stage, the upgrade was still just additional attributes and that steadfast increase in injury recovery rate.

And the extra attributes kept decreasing.

Yet, Chen Bai understood the true power of the Darklight Virus’s enhancement.

What he couldn’t figure out was why the most basic devouring ability hadn’t activated yet!

With devouring, he’d be one hundred percent sure he could maximize evolution points from the virus in the zombies.

No need for all this effort right now!

Not to mention the Heavy Claw Hammer form, free transformations, gliding, thousands of tendrils, memory reading, and other overwhelmingly powerful abilities.

The road ahead would be long and challenging!

Chen Bai sighed but didn’t rush.

Feeling the power accumulating within his body, he glanced at a message from the little nurse on duty at the hospital tonight who couldn’t make it out, and then drifted into sleep.

In sleep, he could adapt most quickly to his new strength.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Jiangcheng!

The Jiangwan Villa District—

Home to Jiangcheng’s most influential businessmen and figures.

Among them, one particularly luxurious villa, ranking among the top, remained brightly lit even at this late hour.

In the living room, the TV repeated a surveillance video clip.

Originally, this video should only have appeared in the official’s office or at the hospital.

The video showed a young man moving with blinding speed, capturing and even killing a zombie in an instant.

Sitting on the sofa was a woman dressed in a semi-sheer, purplish-red nightgown, revealing hints of an incredibly alluring figure.

Even more captivating was her naturally seductive aura, coupled with a calm, icy beauty.

Yet no one at the moment was appreciating the stunning scene.

She turned to look at another woman standing in the living room.

The latter exuded a cold, military demeanor in both her manner and tone.

“Shuang’er, can you do what he did?”

Song Ziqiong watched the video, studying the young man’s extraordinary speed as he subdued the virus-modified creature almost effortlessly.

The female bodyguard called Shuang’er shook her head.

“Impossible. Madam Song, as you saw earlier, the speed of that thing alone already surpasses human limits. The worst part is that its fingernails and teeth carry the virus—any blood drawn means infection unless you sever the infected limb immediately.

As for this young man, honestly, he doesn’t seem human either. His speed is too fast! And his knowledge of the human body is astounding! If I faced him barehanded, I wouldn’t last more than five seconds.”

“Too fast!”

Even slowed down by half-speed playback, the figure on the surveillance video still moved impossibly fast!

Hearing her top bodyguard’s report, Song Ziqiong nodded.

However, Shuang’er, as if needing to make a point, paused for a moment and then added, “But after all, this is modern society, no matter how fast anyone is, they still can’t outrun a bullet!”

Outrun a bullet!

Song Ziqiong raised her eyebrows slightly but seemed to ruminate on another phrase instead:

“Modern society, hmm?”

“Madam! The young lady is back!”

The housekeeper’s voice pulled Song Ziqiong from her thoughts. When she heard her daughter had arrived, she immediately turned around, her expression shifting, as if she had suddenly thought of something.

“Bring her over!”

Before long, Song Ge appeared by her mother’s side, yawning.

But this time, her gaze toward her mother was somewhat… peculiar.

She suddenly remembered the words that damned man had said earlier.

Interested in her mother?

Fine, even Song Ge had to admit her mother was indeed captivating in a more mature, alluring way.

The red waves of her hair highlighted her smooth, fair skin. Though wearing minimal makeup, she exuded a natural charm.

What drew the most attention was her mother’s slender, swan-like neck, adorned with a platinum diamond necklace.

The pendant of that necklace nestled deeply into her cleavage.

And her figure—curvaceous and striking…

At this moment, Song Ziqiong hadn’t noticed the odd look in her daughter’s eyes, but she did give a firm reminder:

“For now, you don’t need to go to school. Just stay home.”

“What?! Why?!”

Song Ge, as a typical young lady, clearly wasn’t one to stay home willingly.

However, seeing her mother’s stern expression, she could only timidly ask, “What’s going on, Mom?”

Song Ziqiong signaled to Shuang’er, who picked up the remote.

In an instant, an enormous face, fierce and terrifying, appeared on the giant TV screen.

The creature snarled, purple-black veins bulging, eyes brimming with madness and bloodlust.

The sight instinctively made Song Ge step back. She turned toward her mother with a hint of complaint.

“Mom… since when did you start watching zombie movies? You’re scaring me!”

Song Ziqiong glanced at her daughter without replying. The next video started to play.

This one was slightly blurred, yet it was a disturbingly uncensored live feed.

A zombie bit down onto a passerby’s neck.

In just a few seconds, it gnawed through flesh down to blood vessels and throat!

The bloody scene made chills run down one’s spine.

Song Ge began to realize that this wasn’t some TV or movie scene!

This was real!

“Mom…”

Song Ge’s face paled, but Song Ziqiong showed no change in expression as she sighed.

“Though it’s unbelievable—and I also think these mindless zombies can’t really threaten our current society—there’s always a chance, however slim. So, stay home for a while. Don’t go to school.”

This time, Song Ge dared not utter a word of protest!

Just as she nodded, the last video in the autoplay queue appeared on the screen. Her eyes suddenly widened, and she pointed at the TV, shouting:

“Ah… Mom, why is he there?!”

Her scream drew Song Ziqiong’s and Shuang’er’s attention to the screen.
