Virus King - Chapter 47

Chapter 47: The Virus Awakens Before Doomsday!

TL: YYang

Chen Bai brought Song Ziqiong, who was still slightly out of breath, back to the villa.

The lights in the hall were still on.

However, at this hour, Chu Xin and Song Ge were nowhere to be found, and Chen Bai had no interest in looking for them. In the living room, only he, Leng Shuang, and Song Ziqiong remained.

Chen Bai decided to give his final instructions:

“There are only two days left until the apocalypse begins! Next, I’ll be going into seclusion. I’m not sure exactly when I’ll come out, but it should be around the time just before doomsday arrives. So, during this period, you’ll have to look after yourselves!”

With that, Chen Bai ignored the surprised looks from Song Ziqiong and Leng Shuang and directly took out two items from his hand.

One was the Flesh Mountain Wall he had just obtained.

The other was the Corpse-Heart Pill he’d acquired earlier.

The Corpse-Heart Pill was nothing remarkable—just a small wooden bottle and a slip of paper.

However, the Flesh Mountain Wall looked like a chunk of flesh that was continuously wriggling.

The sight of it filled both women with utter disgust.

Chen Bai paid no mind to this reaction, setting the slowly writhing piece of flesh on the table as he explained:

“This thing is called the Flesh Mountain Wall. You both saw that Flesh Mountain earlier—this is a special building material imbued with the Flesh Mountain’s unique properties.

As long as you feed it corpses and flesh, it can undergo unlimited division and growth based on the foundation you excavate, forming a wall made entirely from Flesh Mountain.

This wall is not only incredibly durable, but once it reaches a certain level, it can even defend against attackers on its own, actively countering enemies outside. Plus, it has self-repair capabilities.

Now you understand its value, don’t you? Just remember to keep a distance when it’s feeding.”

Hearing this, Song Ziqiong’s eyes lit up.

“However, to establish a settlement or stronghold officially recognized by the Cosmic Will, you’ll need a special item called a City-Building Order! So, for now, just keep this thing safe.”

In that moment, as she comprehended the use of the Flesh Mountain Wall, Song Ziqiong felt that this wriggling piece of flesh didn’t seem quite as disgusting anymore.

“As for this,” Chen Bai continued, holding up the other item, “this is called the Corpse-Heart Pill. After taking it, your strength and physical constitution will improve significantly.

But have you ever read martial arts novels where they mention the Tiger Bone Pill or Bone-Reforming Pill? You’ll need to take an antidote periodically to stay alive. It’s a highly effective way to control others!

Each person’s antidote has to be individually tailored. While there’s no blueprint for its production, the manufacturing process isn’t difficult. You can figure it out on your own.

Of course, using drugs to control others is ultimately a side-path. In ancient times, emperors ruled through the way of kingship, with the support of benevolence and virtue. You, of all people, should understand this principle best!”

Song Ziqiong looked contemplative, her heart surging with an unspoken excitement.

As always, she was a woman with great ambition.

And now, with this man’s help, her ambition seemed poised to expand far beyond her original business empire, advancing toward a higher, more crucial realm!

“Alright, one last point,” Chen Bai said. “After the apocalypse begins and the trial grounds open, all of this is just secondary. The most important thing is only one:

Your own strength!

Aside from ensuring your safety, strength can bring eternal youth, prolonged life, even immortality, and possibly godhood!”

Eternal youth, longevity, immortality—even godhood!

Song Ziqiong and Leng Shuang’s eyes glowed with unimaginable yearning and fervor.

What was undoubtedly doomsday for others had, in this moment, become the greatest opportunity for them.

And indeed, they weren’t wrong. The God and Devil Trial Grounds were destined to be both the greatest opportunity and the greatest danger!

Only the strong would survive; the weak would perish!

After giving his instructions, Chen Bai headed to the attic room at the top of the villa.

There, he could ensure that no one would disturb him.

Late at night, he gazed out at the dark sky, with the bright moon and stars glittering above.

He wondered if, beyond this Blue Star, there were already gods casting covetous eyes in this direction.

Looking toward Blue Star, soon to become the center of the Cosmic Will, and the trial grounds about to unfold here!

The Darklight Virus surged rapidly within his cells, flowing through his bloodstream. Just by standing there, Chen Bai could already feel his own blood and body temperature rising swiftly!

If anyone saw the speed of this escalation, they would surely wonder if Chen Bai would collapse from such a high fever in the next moment.

However, Chen Bai wasn’t worried. Instead, he did something rare—he spoke up in the group chat.

[Bai]: @Everyone, only two days remain until doomsday. Over the next two days, I have some matters to attend to and may not be able to keep up with everything happening in the group. But I am confident that each of you has the potential to become a future powerhouse!

Because of this, I’d like you all to help keep an eye on the Cosmic Will Pioneer Evolution Forum. I’ll set each of you as group admins.

For any new members requesting to join, you can handle the verification and approvals on my behalf. And if I haven’t returned after the outbreak begins, change the group settings to make it closed to new applicants.

With that, Chen Bai didn’t wait for their responses. After promoting Han Xiao, Liu Huai, Shui Chuan, and the others to admin status, he slowly pulled the curtains closed.

In the next instant, every source of light in the room vanished.

The space descended into complete, boundless darkness.

This time, as the Darklight Virus awakened, Chen Bai could feel—directly through his genes—the most immediate feedback.

Under the talent of the Virus Sovereign, he possessed an innate understanding and control over the virus.

Chen Bai was very confident in this.

And precisely because of this perception, Chen Bai could gauge that the Darklight Virus’s awakening had reached a critical threshold in its evolution—one represented by a certain percentage, an important checkpoint.

This awakening indeed required a certain amount of time.

For now, Chen Bai could only hope that it wouldn’t take too long.

After all, he wanted to witness the arrival of doomsday with his own eyes!

With this thought, Chen Bai slowly directed his consciousness to his talent interface.
