Virus King - Chapter 68

Chapter 68: The Resurrected Anatomy Teachers! Skill Book ‘Living Cells’!

TL: Yang

The cold white light offered not a hint of warmth.

This was an incredibly massive room.

At least two to three hundred square meters in size.

Rows of cold bed frames were placed throughout the space.

On each bed frame lay black boxes, similar to those seen outside.

There were no traces of blood, yet a chilling cold seeped into one’s very bones, evoking terror.

Chen Bai’s attention was fixed on the center.

It was his first time seeing what an incinerator furnace looked like.

It wasn’t the large, chimney-like furnace he had imagined.

Instead, it was more like an enlarged version of a coffin, almost like a camper van-sized lunchbox.

This incinerator seemed a bit different from usual as well.

Chen Bai’s brow furrowed slightly. Then, he slowly took something out from within his coat.

A zombie mask, concealing his entire face.

It blocked out the overwhelming stench of decay that emanated from the incinerator.

In secret realm dungeons, nothing was ever set in stone; anything was possible. This special instance, birthed from a mixture of reality and the Trial Grounds of Gods and Demons, appeared to consist only of this single room.

[You have entered a special secret realm dungeon: Cooling Incinerator. This instance is a special, time-limited instance! If you successfully clear it, the instance will permanently take form. If you fail, it will vanish completely after two natural days…]

As expected!

A gleam flashed in Chen Bai’s eyes—this was indeed a limited-time instance.

If he missed this chance, there’d be no other opportunities!

Luckily, in this life, the guidance of the God of Trade had led him right to this hidden prize!

[Dungeon: Cooling Incinerator (Level 5–10)]

[Jiangcheng University’s incinerator, where flames burn endlessly, consuming countless battered bodies. Until today, a special virus accompanied a body into the incinerator, causing the eternal fire to go out. Yet, the bodies sent into the furnace continue to mysteriously vanish…]

The icy tone of the Cosmic Will’s notification filled Chen Bai with a chill.

He knew that the true danger of the secret realm dungeon would commence as soon as the Cosmic Will’s message finished.

Sure enough, as the notification faded, a disturbance began within the cold incinerator.

Would a boss-class mutant emerge directly? Or, like in regular instances, would minor enemies come out first?

A piercing scratching sound made Chen Bai frown. In the next moment, two figures appeared before him!

They resembled spiders yet were the size of young children. Each had a child-like torso paired with a head lacking any discernible face.

The most horrifying aspect was that these figures had no arms; instead, their torsos were connected to eight large legs and ankles!

What were these things?!

Even with his experiences from his past life, Chen Bai felt a wave of discomfort at the sight of these creatures.

Fortunately, unlike the outside world, he could clearly see their identity labels above their heads here in the instance realm.

[Stitched Corpse—Spider-Type (Level 7)]

No description, but at least a level indication.

Chen Bai frowned. Before he could think further, the two figures launched themselves at him. Alarmingly, one approached from above, the other from below!

But that wasn’t the worst part—almost simultaneously, figures on the bed frames throughout the room began to slowly rise.

Their skin was pale, and dense stitching and incisions covered their bodies.

Despite the zombie mask, Chen Bai could still distinctly smell the pungent scent of formaldehyde.

[Revived Anatomy Teacher (Level 5)]

The scent made him feel nauseous.

But this was no time to be squeamish, as the stitched corpses were already speeding toward him at an unimaginable pace!

Their speed was at least three times faster than a normal human’s!

In the enormous room, they reached Chen Bai almost instantly!

Screech…

The Zombie Claws instantly extended from Chen Bai’s hand.

He didn’t strike immediately. Instead, he looked up at the stitched corpse hanging from the ceiling, then at the Resurrected Anatomy Teachers standing out of their cold chambers, their vacant eyes fixed intently on him.

Then, his foot landed on the wall, and he actually clung to the ceiling just like that stitched-up corpse!

“Huh?!”

At that moment, even the stitched corpse seemed momentarily stunned, as if unable to comprehend how this human could possess such an uncanny ability!

But before long, it lunged directly at Chen Bai.

However, in the next moment, Chen Bai moved!

No one could describe his speed!

His claws, in that instant, were like razor-sharp meat grinders!

With a powerful leap from the ceiling, his body shot down like a cannonball, landing right in front of the stitched corpse. The “Zombie Claws” displayed an absolutely terrifying sharpness!

“Aaaargh…?”

A shrill, piercing scream burst from the creature’s mouth!

Even with Chen Bai’s own powerful constitution, he felt as if that sharp cry had left him momentarily deaf!

At that moment, he understood a bit more about this creature’s primary ability.

Braving the excruciating pain in his eardrums, Chen Bai drove his claws directly into the head of that human-spider hybrid!

Jet-black blood spurted out, and after a few spasms, the body lay motionless!

“Huh… not that strong after all, was it?”

If Chen Bai said this out loud, every Evolver in the world would spit at him.

Not that strong, he says?!

The speed alone—its agility had to be at least over 20!

And it could ignore terrain! Not to mention that horrific, piercing scream. Anyone with a constitution under 15 would likely have their ears bleed and might even pass out on the spot!

No, this creature wasn’t weak.

Chen Bai was simply too strong!

[Slain Dungeon Creature: “Stitched Corpse—Spider Form (Level 7)”. Experience gained: 1000 points!]

One thousand experience points!

Just as expected!

Fighting enemies above his level in a dungeon always paid off big!

However, as a secret realm dungeon, the rewards were clearly more than just experience points.

Chen Bai quickly spotted a faint glow from something that had dropped beside the corpse, his breath catching:

[Cell Activation (D-Rank): Active Skill. Greatly enhances cellular activity, allowing for rapid wound recovery in a short period, and enables limited limb regeneration! Cooldown: 10 hours!]

Instantly, Chen Bai’s gaze shifted to the remaining dungeon creatures, and his eyes glinted green with greed!

Not only were these things big bags of experience, they were also a treasure trove!
