Virus King - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Terrifying Attributes! The Formidable Zombie Claws!

TL: YYang

“Sister Qiong, one of the guys accidentally got a cut while collecting those zombie nails.”

As soon as they got in the car, Shuang’er spoke quietly into Song Ziqiong’s ear.

Song Ziqiong’s brows shot up, and she said directly:

“Where did he get hurt?! How careless! They can’t even handle such a simple task?”

“On his arm, awaiting your instructions!”

“Then what are you waiting for? Before the virus spreads completely, why not just—”

Before she could finish, Chen Bai interrupted her:

“No need. Have them continue collecting some zombie blood, and then bring the injured person along with them.”

Both women were taken aback.

Chen Bai had already gotten into the car, opened a burlap sack, and began inspecting the neatly extracted nails.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Trusting Chen Bai completely, Song Ziqiong gave a nod and signaled to Shuang’er before getting into the car herself.

She wanted to ask something, but Chen Bai paid her no attention. Instead, he took out the blueprint for crafting the Zombie Claws.

Song Ziqiong was an understanding woman. She knew this mysterious man in front of her, filled with secrets, certainly had his own methods, so she didn’t press further. Instead, she watched Chen Bai with a look of astonishment.

That piece of parchment appeared just as suddenly as the copper coin had during the day.

In the next moment, Song Ziqiong’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief at what she saw.

Right in front of her, the parchment suddenly turned into a ray of dark-gray light, enveloping all of the zombie nails inside the sack.

Then, both the parchment and the zombie nails disappeared completely.

In their place was an even deeper black light.

This lasted for a full ten seconds. In the dimly lit car, a unique object appeared that Song Ziqiong had never seen before!

It was a glove!

A glove entirely dark gray.

The material wasn’t leather; it seemed as if it was made from bone fragments.

However, the most terrifying and horrifying part was on the back of the glove, where three pitch-black claws extended outwards. They were only about twenty centimeters long, but on the gray-black claws, a metallic gleam flickered.

That heavy, condensed sharpness left no doubt in anyone’s mind that these claws could easily slice through anything sturdy.

The only slight disappointment was that it was a single right-hand glove, not a pair.

But even so, it was already more than enough!

Chen Bai examined the glove, which seemed to be made of interlocked bone fragments resembling the scales of a cold-blooded animal. Satisfied, he nodded!

[Zombie Claws]

[Weapon – Gauntlet Type (E-Rank)]

[Description: Claws soaked in zombie venom and blood, possessing unimaginable tearing force and a strange blood-sucking ability!]

[Agility +10, Strength +8]

[Devouring Claw: Comes with a blood-sucking effect. Each time it injures an enemy, it restores stamina, accelerating both injury and health recovery!]

[Ghost Shadow Claw: Activates on command, granting Agility +10%, with a minimum boost of 10 points to Agility, and Attack Speed +20%!]

[Equipment Requirements: Agility > 25, Evolver Level > 1]

[P.S.: If you can see this, trust yourself—you are the Child of Destiny, the future master of this world, the ruler of the apocalypse. You are… the Ultimate Apocalypse Player!]

Now this was a true treasure!

Chen Bai, though he had expected it, still let out a satisfied breath.

An E-Rank piece of equipment—not only did it have the most basic attribute boosts, but it also provided two skill effects!

One passive and one active!

And the passive ability was the rare and valuable lifesteal attribute, which could greatly enhance one’s endurance in prolonged combat.

As expected!

With a piece of equipment like this, Chen Bai wouldn’t trade it for some relatively higher-ranked gear, not even if it were D-Rank or C-Rank.

Why?

Even though those higher-tier pieces might offer more attribute bonuses, they likely came with level requirements.

Even if he were given those items now, there was a chance he wouldn’t be able to use them due to the level restrictions.

But the “Zombie Claws” had extremely low requirements, and its attribute effects were powerful enough to be considered game-breaking!

Only a fool would trade such a top-tier early-game item for high-level gear they couldn’t even use.

Of course, during this unusual time, there was no one who could trade with Chen Bai anyway.

He extended his hand, and under Song Ziqiong’s stunned gaze, the claw, as if composed of interlocking bone fragments, instantly wrapped around Chen Bai’s hand, as though it had a life of its own!

With a single thought, the three sharp claws that extended from the gauntlet slowly retracted back into his palm.

From a glance, Chen Bai’s right hand now only appeared to be wearing an ordinary dark-gray glove.

There was no visible difference.

But, with just a single thought, those three sharp zombie claws could instantly reappear!

They could take a life in an instant!

After trying out the effects of the Zombie Claws to his satisfaction, Chen Bai turned his gaze toward Song Ziqiong.

“Earlier, did you record a video of this?”

“Huh? I’ll tell them to delete it right away!”

“No need. Send me a copy in a bit.”

Song Ziqiong was taken aback, but she no longer had the courage to resist Chen Bai’s decisions. She nodded.

Chen Bai smiled as well. He intended to post it in a group chat, so that the “Emperor” of his previous life, the future powerhouses, and the early awakened talents could get a taste of his—White Emperor’s—little display of power.

This would also establish an early impression of Chen Bai in the minds of these potential future powerhouses.

The vehicle continued driving down the roads of Jiangcheng, and before long, the Jiangcheng Villa District was in sight.

Chen Bai opened his eyes as they arrived at the villa.

Song Ge seemed to already be asleep.

In the lit-up living room, Chen Bai and Song Ziqiong sat down together, and Shuang’er brought in a figure with a purplish-blue complexion.

“Sister Qiong, Ah Long is not going to make it!”
