Virus King - Chapter 73

Chapter 73: That Man! He Wouldn’t Die!

TL: Yang

Not only Song Ziqiong, but nearly every Evolver who wasn’t completely surrounded by zombie hordes at that moment opened this suddenly appearing, special notification!

The so-called secret realm dungeon and video strategy guide!

After all, the price of one copper coin wasn’t high.

On the first day of the apocalypse, as long as someone dared to go out and kill zombies, they could already afford the price of one copper coin!

As for what a secret realm dungeon was, many people obviously didn’t understand.

But not understanding didn’t mean they weren’t curious.

On the contrary, after unlocking the mysteries of being an Evolver and experiencing personal growth in talent use and combat experience after killing zombies, everyone was in an uproar!

Why had so many in modern society just chosen to lie flat and give up?

It wasn’t simply unwillingness to work hard.

The main reason was that hard work offered no hope or possibility of getting ahead!

Once effort became pointless, why continue?

But now?

With the descent of the God and Devil Trial Grounds, though some talents were stronger and others weaker, as long as they killed zombies, their future gear, skills, and progression all became unknowns!

As long as they tried, they could grow stronger!

No one would miss an opportunity like this!

And now, the sudden appearance of a term like “secret realm dungeon”—a term familiar from games—instantly invigorated everyone!

After one copper coin was deducted, all eyes turned toward this first-cleared secret realm dungeon.

A cold image appeared before them!

The sterile, icy incinerator instantly cooled everyone’s excitement.

They all wanted to see how this “Bai” in the video was able to find and clear the dungeon first!

On the screen, there was a young man dressed in black, wearing a zombie mask.

The zombie mask, a piece of loot that many others had acquired by this time, caused viewers to feel some relief.

The person in the footage wore gear just like theirs, so his strength should be similar to theirs, right?

Since he could do it, then surely they could, too!

However, this feeling was quickly shattered. Even the most talented Evolvers, none of whom had reached level 2 yet, felt a chill wash over them.

The monster that crawled out of the incinerator didn’t just make everyone feel sick; the most horrifying thing about it was its terrifying speed!

Even with a video recording that could be slowed down, its movements were still like afterimages!

And the young man in the footage could hang upside down on the ceiling, moving in defiance of gravity, as if walking on air!

How was this possible!?

Weren’t they all first-day Evolvers? How could this “Bai” be so outrageously strong!?

At that moment, everyone who had seen the Cosmic Will Evolver Forum before the apocalypse thought of one name in unison:

White Emperor!

So this was White Emperor!? (The ‘Bai’ in Chen Bai means ‘White’.)

Everyone roared internally.

Pioneer Evolver! This is what a Pioneer Evolver is like!

So, in this God and Devil Trial Grounds, there truly was an elite circle—one that had already grasped the whole truth before the apocalypse even began, displaying strength that was downright terrifying!

It was absolutely frightening!

Watching that figure in the footage, swift and brutal, annihilating the monsters with ease, everyone was awestruck.

But if all of that was just the appetizer, then what came next was a true battle of immortals!

Someone noticed the option for real-time commentary in the video guide and couldn’t resist typing the first comment:

“Battle of immortals!”

Indeed, at that moment, after the horrifying Bio-Mutant appeared, there was only one phrase in everyone’s minds:

“Battle of immortals!”

It was too bloody, too savage!

Especially when they saw the previously unstoppable young man’s eyes gouged, his arm bones splintered—their own bodies broke out in cold sweat!

In that moment, they fully understood: this wasn’t a game. This was a brutal, deadly trial ground.

Even someone as powerful as the man on the screen wasn’t immune to the threat of death!

Everyone watched in tense anticipation, waiting to see how “Bai” would turn the tables and make his final strike.

In Jiangcheng, Song Ziqiong was staring at the footage in disbelief.

She had never imagined Chen Bai looking like this!

The man who always seemed invincible in her eyes—could he actually get hurt?

Could he be injured?

Song Ziqiong felt a sudden relief.

Indeed, no one was truly unbeatable. If she kept going, someday she might reach his level, perhaps even surpass him!

Song Ziqiong felt her motivation and determination rise once more.

But this newfound resolve quickly shattered like a crystal glass plummeting from the sky.

In the very next moment, all his injuries healed completely!

Even the eye that had been gouged out was restored, once again bright and lively!

At the same time, his fierce, powerful elbow strikes landed on the demon’s chest, each blow hammering at her heart as well.

The wild, defiant laughter of the man on the screen brought back some less-than-pleasant, yet special memories for her.

It made her instinctively want to kneel at his feet.

How could this be possible!?

It wasn’t just her. Almost every Evolver watching Chen Bai’s supposed reversal wondered the same thing.

How was this possible!?

What skill was this!?

Immediately, someone’s mind leaped to the thought of a skill that could instantly restore all injuries and health—it had to be at least an A-Rank skill, right?

Who was this “Bai”?

Just what level of talent did this “White Emperor” possess, and where did he obtain such a skill?

But thinking it over, a skill with such terrifying effects and such incredible healing…

It had to have a long cooldown, right? This had to be Bai’s ultimate trump card, right?

Then, an hour later…

all the Evolvers watching Chen Bai come back to life, lively as ever, were left utterly speechless.

But no matter what,

that blood-soaked figure, seeming as if he would never fall.

That wounded warrior, who looked as though he would never grow tired or know fear.

He was burned into everyone’s minds, becoming the most vivid memory as the first day of the apocalypse drew to a close.

There was no other image like it.

Because—

That man! He wouldn’t die!
