Virus King - Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Advanced Blueprint: Biochemical Disaster!

TL: YYang

Chen Bai got back in the car, with everyone around staring at him in shock, awe, and even reverence.

Song Ziqiong, however, glanced at the ten or so guards who stood in place, looking somewhat bewildered.

The forty-man squad had been decimated here, with even their leader dead.

Leng Shuang spoke up: “You all saw it, the times are changing! No one knows what the future holds. Over at the East Mountain Villa District, we’re recruiting. If you’re interested, you’re welcome to join us! If nothing else, we can at least provide some degree of safety for your families!”

The leading man shook his head: “Thank you for saving us, but we still need to report back to the station.”

Leng Shuang furrowed her brows slightly, about to say something else, but Song Ziqiong stopped her, smiling as she said: “It’s alright. I’m not one to force anyone. But if you change your minds in the future, feel free to come anytime!”

What use were just a dozen people!?

If what Chen Bai had said was true, and the station was collapsing while the court, having lost all its technological weapons, could barely fend for itself, then these people would eventually come to the same conclusion.

There was no rush now.

The vehicles started up again, moving slowly forward.

The magnetic field disruption wasn’t complete; some vehicles had lost functionality, while others could still be used.

Luckily, Chen Bai didn’t have to lead them on foot back to East Mountain Villa in the darkness of night.

Just as they were turning around, Xiao Zhou suddenly exclaimed:

“Chen Bai! You’re Chen Bai!”

Chen Bai opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Zhou, who quickly explained:

“I’m a recent graduate intern from Jiangcheng University! I majored in broadcasting! I’ve seen you before!”

As the campus idol of Jiangcheng University, Chen Bai indeed had a high level of fame.

But he only nodded slightly and then closed his eyes again, leaving Xiao Zhou, who had been hoping to strike up a conversation, feeling awkward and stiff.

Chen Bai really didn’t have the time to bother with him. Though he seemed calm, his heart was already surging with immense excitement!

Tenfold drop rate—this was the real deal!

Unable to hold back, he once again focused on his Evolver’s Backpack, looking over the massive loot from this time!

Six gold coins were just the beginning.

At the very front, the most eye-catching item was the crafting blueprint—and this blueprint was something Chen Bai had never anticipated!

[Blueprint: Biochemical Disaster]

[Weapon Type: Gauntlets (C-Rank)]

[Description: The evolved form of Zombie Claws, now even more powerful!]

[Crafting Materials: The equipped ‘Zombie Claws,’ core of Flesh Mountain, claw of a Tyrant, heart of an Aberrant, and brain of a Lord!]

[PS: This advanced blueprint only has a minuscule chance of dropping if an elite mutant is slain while wearing the special blueprint equipment ‘Zombie Claws.’ It is exceedingly rare!]

Biochemical Disaster!

An advanced blueprint!

This was something Chen Bai had never heard of before.

After all, blueprint equipment was extremely rare.

Even regular blueprints were hard to come by, and even after the apocalypse began, with auction houses appearing on Blue Star and across various regions, these types of blueprint items were priceless and rare.

It was only thanks to the tenfold drop rate before the full-blown apocalypse that such a precious and rare item could be acquired!

Still, while the Zombie Claws were powerful, they were only an E-Rank weapon. Although most regular Evolvers could likely use it for quite a while, high-level equipment was far too scarce. However, for Chen Bai, it was something that would eventually be replaced.

Unexpectedly, though, he didn’t have to wait that long. After taking down Flesh Mountain, this advanced blueprint for the Zombie Claws dropped so easily!

The required material, the Flesh Mountain Core, was a special core found in the Flesh Mountain’s stomach, a unique source of its power, often used as a crafting material.

As for the other materials, they would need to be obtained from other mutants. While not impossible to acquire, they certainly wouldn’t be easy either!

Zombie mutants and corpse tides were the graveyards of early-stage Evolvers during the apocalypse.

The Flesh Mountain, the Tyrant, the Lord, the Aberrant, and other rare zombie mutants were no exception.

Aside from this blueprint, Chen Bai’s biggest reward this time was something extraordinarily unique!

It wasn’t equipment, medicine, or an item; it was a special building!

That’s right—

A building.

[Flesh Mountain Wall]

[Building Material—E Grade]

[Description: A wall that can automatically grow by devouring flesh and corpses! The wall is resilient and elastic and can regenerate over time! This is an exceptionally rare construction material!]

An Evolver’s base, a city—was something the universe encouraged. After all, the God and Devil Trial Grounds included not only personal trials but also tests for civilizations.

Naturally, this encompassed building materials for social structures and city defenses.

Even in his previous life, the Flesh Mountain Wall was an extremely valuable material!

As a wall capable of devouring flesh and endlessly expanding, it had incredible defensive and regenerative properties, and it could even increase its grade by absorbing corpses.

It was, without question, the finest building material.

Just the small foundational piece of Flesh Mountain Wall, about the size of a palm in his backpack right now, was worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins!

And now, it had become Chen Bai’s personal loot.

Beyond these, there was also a skill book worth mentioning:

[Muscle Augmentation]

[Passive Skill Book—E Grade]

[Description: Significantly increases muscle activity and muscle mass. Boosts training speed for Strength and Constitution by 100%.]

A decent skill book.

Many Evolvers had used this skill in his previous life.

In the city, those towering, muscle-bound figures over two meters tall, with muscles bulging like tumors, more exaggerated than even the most ripped bodybuilders, had most likely learned this skill.

Chen Bai was indeed the type who would make sacrifices for power, but he wasn’t willing to turn into a muscle-bound monster over a low-level passive skill like this.

After all, it was just a low-level skill.

Just as he was pondering this, a surprised exclamation suddenly rang out next to him:

“Oh no! My camera is still on that hill!”

Chen Bai opened his eyes and glanced at Xiao Zhou, a trace of amusement flashing in his gaze.

Come to think of it, didn’t the newcomer ‘Overlord’ in the group chat just post a video?

He wondered what the guy thought after watching him take apart that Flesh Mountain…
