Virus King - Chapter 350

Chapter 350: Jiangcheng’s Power Company!

TL: YYang

The changes in the Level Rankings had become a worldwide sensation.

After all, the White Emperor, who had long held the top spot, was unexpectedly overtaken. It wasn’t just a minor challenger; it was someone completely new, someone who seemed to appear out of nowhere. A name and a person nobody had ever heard of before.

Thus, this mysterious “Rika” instantly became the focal point of everyone’s attention.

Naturally, Group Chat No. 001 was no exception. However, what nobody in the group could have anticipated was how things would ultimately turn out.

This “Rika,” whose identity was unknown to everyone… was she Han Xiao’s sister?

When did Han Xiao have such an impressive younger sister?!

It must be said, up until now, only the evolvers who had participated in the evolution trials at the Red Star Psychiatric Hospital knew a little about Han Xiao’s mysterious mission and his sister. Even then, their understanding of Han Xiao’s connection to Hell and the devils was minimal at best—just some vague knowledge of his special circumstances.

But now, with the sudden appearance of his sister, everyone was left dumbfounded.

Even Han Xiao himself stood frozen in place.

After his father passed away, Han Xiao had discovered some family secrets through his father’s journal. Only then did he learn about the sister, originally named “Han Li,” and her mysterious disappearance.

And now, he suddenly remembered. He had heard this name before.

Back at the Red Star Psychiatric Hospital, after summoning his ancestor, the very ancestor who held a legendary status even within Hell had mentioned this name.

What shocked Han Xiao most at the time was how that all-powerful ancestor, an almost unparalleled figure in Hell, reacted toward Chen Bai.

But now, before he could even find his footing in Hell and carve a path through mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, his sister had already arrived on Blue Star in such a short time!

How was that possible?!

Han Xiao’s disbelief was evident. Meanwhile, Chen Bai glanced at the Level Rankings with mild interest. Earlier, this “Rika” had been at level 30, hadn’t she?

How did her level drop by a full five levels after coming to Blue Star and becoming an evolver in the God and Devil Trial Grounds?

It was obvious. Entering Blue Star from Hell wasn’t without its cost.

Still, as Ma Er had said earlier, levels were only one aspect of strength. Unless there was a massive gap, like ten levels or more, it didn’t matter. Levels were simply numbers, the least significant indicator of power.

The so-called Level Rankings held no interest for Chen Bai.

Ignoring the shock in the group, Chen Bai already understood why Rika had come to Blue Star from Hell.

Stretching lazily on his sofa, he stood and walked out of his villa.

The morning sun had just begun to rise, casting its golden glow across the sky. For the first time, Chen Bai stood atop White Emperor City and overlooked the entirety of Jiangcheng with unclouded clarity.

Or rather, it was now White Emperor City.

Jiangcheng had been completely transformed into White Emperor City. Even the roads connecting the old city center to the East Mountain Villa District had been rapidly rebuilt over the past few months.

The massive Flesh Mountain Wall, towering like a wall to the heavens, stretched endlessly. Along these roads, clearings had been expanded, and the area near the East Mountain Villa District had been tightly secured. The most heavily fortified area surrounded the Intelligent Center, located in the industrial district.

Previously, the Artificial Intelligence Motherboard had been under White Emperor City’s control. Now, coupled with the Mechanical Core obtained from earlier rewards, it served as the foundation for the city’s future.

Additionally, resources had been spent exchanging World Secret Realm Points for a Gene Potion Factory, Weapons Factory, and a Machine Workshop assembly line.

These facilities were among the most crucial pillars for White Emperor City’s future.

Under the guidance of AI Little Xian, many defensive structures had also been implemented, such as automatic rifle turrets, electromagnetic towers, and laser grids—defenses reminiscent of those once found at the X Company Headquarters on the island.

Unfortunately, to power these automated defenses and facilities, they needed the most critical resource: electricity.

This was precisely why Chen Bai had ventured out.

He had never visited Jiangcheng’s power plant before. After all, in a modern society, most people would never need to.

But with the apocalypse disrupting the magnetic fields across the cosmos and wiping out most of the planet’s electricity, the remaining power in White Emperor City was supplied by a handful of generators.

This was far from enough.

Jiangcheng’s power company headquarters was located on the city’s western side, nearly half a city away from the East Mountain Villa District.

The fusion of worlds had also expanded Jiangcheng’s size, nearly doubling it.

Fortunately, Chen Bai had previously directed the city’s expansion toward the southeast. As a result, the path from White Emperor City to the power plant wasn’t excessively far.

Three months had passed. While White Emperor City and the remnants of Jiangcheng lay beneath his feet, they felt like two entirely different worlds.

Within White Emperor City, the ruins were slowly being reclaimed, with most of the destroyed buildings cleared and new structures rising. Despite being post-apocalyptic, the city buzzed with life—a new wasteland society emerging from the ashes.

In contrast, outside White Emperor City, the scene was one of devastation. Bloodstains and decay painted the urban jungle. Vines sprawled across ruined buildings, rats scurried in the shadows, and the rotting corpses of zombies were swarmed by human-head-sized mutant flies and mosquitoes, their buzzing filling the air.

Lost in thought, Chen Bai hovered above a sprawling industrial district. Below him lay the power company’s headquarters, its massive factory and generator zones stretching out like a steel jungle.

Just as he was about to descend, a terrifying surge of electricity shot from the ground to the sky, striking directly at him!
