Virus King - Chapter 288

Chapter 288: Entering the Headquarters! Research Center!

TL: YYang

X Company Headquarters.

Chen Bai believed that not many people were aware of it.

The reason was simple.

For countless Evolvers, the text in this biochemical world was indecipherable.

To everyone, these characters looked like gibberish.

Only Chen Bai, with the S-Rank skill “Eye of Secrets” given to him by Winifred, could understand them.

The Eye of Secrets allowed Chen Bai to receive feedback immediately and intuitively.

Any unknown text could be understood in the majority of its meaning at first glance, and after comparison, he could grasp the entire meaning.

In such circumstances, no puzzle or hidden switch could block Chen Bai’s way.

This was why he could initially find the area beneath the X Company’s headquarters in Sandworm City and locate the high-level identity card belonging to X Company’s executives, thereby gaining the opportunity and mission to explore X Company’s headquarters.

Under these circumstances, Chen Bai believed that besides the members of Group No. 001, there were likely very few Evolvers who would truly discover the secrets within.

Over the past few days, Chen Bai occasionally checked the forum, finding no particularly relevant information.

Clearly, even if someone knew these secrets, they were not inclined to share them broadly.

Chen Bai didn’t mind; enhancing his own faction’s foundation was beneficial, whether or not it was necessary.

As for whether entering the X Company Headquarters would harm his own interests, Chen Bai hadn’t considered it.

Just like when he entered the Black Building, ordinary items and things no longer held much significance for him.

There were only two days to explore the X Company Headquarters. If anything was missed, wouldn’t it just benefit others?!

Biochemical Zombie World.

Chen Bai glanced at Group Chat No. 001.

Sure enough, the group was already discussing the upcoming events at X Company Headquarters!

[Bai: How many have gotten the high-level identity card and can enter X Company Headquarters?]

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: 1]

[I’m Really Not a Sword Immortal: 1]

[Overlord: 1]

[…]

Interestingly, among the regulars in the group, only the girls Yezi and Liu Huai hadn’t gotten one.

However, Liu Huai hadn’t been active in the group recently, while Yezi was already complaining in the group.

Such things purely relied on luck and couldn’t be helped.

Most cities had an X Company branch, but not every branch had a high-level identity card that allowed others to explore the headquarters.

Chen Bai didn’t pay further attention.

As time ticked away, Chen Bai held the identity card.

In the next moment, a beam of teleportation light flashed, and Chen Bai’s figure instantly disappeared from the city he was in.

He reappeared in a special location.

It was an island!

The soft sand beneath his feet and the boundless ocean behind him confirmed Chen Bai’s suspicions.

In the ocean, sensing Chen Bai’s presence, swarms of zombie fish were rapidly approaching, eyeing him fiercely on the surface.

Chen Bai, however, paid them no mind and looked toward the center of the island.

This X Company seemed to be the center of the Biochemical Zombie World!

It was more of a small city than a company!

And quite an imposing small city at that.

Besides having extremely modern iron fences and a super-modern electromagnetic tower, there were also relatively ancient city walls.

Within these walls stood several tall buildings.

However, even in this state, signs of decay were evident.

Clearly, in this completely dead world, there were absolutely no living people left!

Even the X Company Headquarters, which created the world-destroying virus, had been directly bitten back by its own creation!

The zombie roars emanating from the city walls made that clear!

Chen Bai leaped forward.

Yet in the next moment, a burst of electric light shot towards him from the electromagnetic tower!

Was someone controlling it?

Chen Bai was taken aback, but quickly smirked, a massive shield appearing before him.

Darklight Virus: Shield Form!

The terrifying electric flash capable of piercing and charring everything was instantly blocked.

In the next moment, the giant electric tower was split apart by his claws!

Chen Bai’s figure, in the next instant, had already crossed the high city walls, entering the X Company Headquarters, and glanced at the group chat.

Someone had already sent a guide.

[Shui Chuan: Brothers, the identity card is the only token to enter. If you try to climb the walls without using the identity card, the electric tower will attack, and the attack is extremely powerful! Find the city gate and use the identity card to enter!]

Chen Bai: “…”

Alright then.

He pretended not to see the response in the group and finally took a good look at this small city-like company headquarters.

The company’s surrounding facilities were extremely complete, with supermarkets, gyms, restaurants, and a series of other amenities, and the streets were clean.

This was the residential area for employees.

At the very center of this small city were several interconnected buildings.

The buildings on the island, especially those in the center, were the only ones over ten stories high.

Clearly, this was truly the headquarters of X Company!

His figure shot forward.

Quickly, he had a clear view of the four central buildings.

In front of each building stood gilded characters!

“Research Center!”

“Intelligent Center!”

“Administrative Center!”

“Weapons Center!”

If it were someone else, they might think the Weapons Center would be more reliable, and the Administrative Center the least.

Potential treasures might be abundant there.

After all, on the forums lately, some top Evolvers had exchanged for weapons like the Vibrating Particle Dagger and Gauss Pistol, which were extremely powerful.

However, for Chen Bai, it was different.

His gaze shifted to the first one!

Research Center.

The virus developed by the X Company Headquarters had the potential to destroy the world, and with those so-called genetic modifications, this place was likely the most valuable to Chen Bai, given the existence of White Emperor City.

Quickly snapping photos of the four buildings, Chen Bai ignored the zombies that had appeared on the long street and entered the Research Center building!
