Chapter 393: Ferocious Virus! (1)
[Yes!]
[Yes!]
[Yes!]
Seeing the responses made through the bullet comment section, many of the elderly people in the Observer Conference Hall left their seats and made their way out of the room.
Grabbing his microphone, the American representative asked, “Where are you going?”
“We’re going out for a drive,” an elderly researcher holding a cane said. “This is too much for old people like us to handle.”
With several people taking the lead, many female staff members also quietly left the room.
It was indeed true that one wouldn’t truly die from the disasters. However, the pain they felt from injuries were incredibly real. It should be known that the western hemisphere wasn’t as fortunate as the eastern hemisphere. Many of the people here died from earthquakes…
Similarly, many viewers around the world had chosen to give up on this “game.”
As a result, the livestream’s total viewership had fallen from 1.8 billion to 1.12 billion in less than five minutes.
However, this situation was still within Chen Yu’s expectations.
As a veteran player of “Dark Souls,” he knew that not many people were willing to experience hardcore games.
After waiting for some time and seeing that the viewer count was no longer dropping, Chen Yu activated the Natural Disaster Generator once more and pointed at the virtual menu. He then said, “Today’s episode is going to be a long one, so let’s not waste time and continue our review. We’ve already experienced an artificial intelligence crisis and asteroid impact. We have eight more disasters to experience. Let’s start another vote!
“Three, two…
“One! Start!”
[This is too addictive! I want to play again! Go for a bigger one!]
[33!]
[8.]
[5! Pick 5!]
[5.]
[5. Mutated Virus Outbreak.]
[555…]
[UP, can you modify the entry parameters? I’ll be 19 in two more days!]
[555…]
“There’s no contest this time. The friends who chose Mutated Virus Outbreak account for the vast majority.” After scanning the bullet comment, Chen Yu picked the fifth option without hesitation.
“The virus extinction is about to strike.”
Turning around and facing the camera, Chen Yu shouted, “The Grim Reaper is coming for us!”
Roar!
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, a beast-like roar came from outside the Headmaster’s Tower.
“Huh? Already?”
Hurriedly running up to a window, Chen Yu looked toward the castle complex’s entrance courtyard and found an elk collapsed there. At this time, the collapsed elk was also spitting out black froth from its mouth.
The next moment, a calm breeze blew by, sending the black froth. The airborne bubbles then stuck to the nearby walls, ground, plants, and other elks.
“The disaster has already begun. Those airborne bubbles are undoubtedly carrying the virus. To fully experience this disaster, I won’t be using the E·I Force Field.”
After saying so, Chen Yu removed the metallic finger sleeve from his middle finger and stored it in his pocket. He then took off the cumbersome hanfu, opened the window, and jumped down from the third floor.
Boom!
Dust and dirt were sent flying as Chen Yu’s feet touched the ground.
Crouching down, he stretched out a finger and caught one of the flying black bubbles. He then carefully inspected the bubble and said, “It’s a bit murky. I can see streaks of blood on the bubble’s surface. This black bubble is also much sturdier than the soap bubbles children play with.”
Pop!
Chen Yu gave the bubble a light squeeze, causing it to burst and splash drops of blood all over him.
“There is air pressure inside the bubble. When the surface is destroyed, the blood inside will burst out. It seems the virus is transmitted via this method, though it doesn’t seem to be very efficient.”
While Chen Yu gave his introduction, the other elks in the courtyard also collapsed and began foaming. They also roared continuously, causing the sticky bubbles to go airborne.
“By the way, if you plan on surviving for as long as possible in this disaster, I recommend not coming into contact with the virus directly. As for myself, because of my enhanced physique and resistance, I should be able to persist for a long time even if I’m infected.”
After saying so, Chen Yu decided to leave the courtyard to see if any of the students and professors were infected. However, before taking his first step, he suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind him.
His enhanced physique also granted him excellent neural reflexes. Almost by instinct, he raised his right leg and executed a roundhouse kick.
Boom!
The next moment, the sound of bone snapping could be heard, and the first elk to get infected got sent flying and crashing into a wall five meters away. Upon impact, the elk also scattered black blood all over the place.
[Crap! That looked so cool!]
[It’s over. The host exposed us to the world. We can no longer hide the fact that we Chinese all know kung fu.]
[Beautifully done! Though, it didn’t look like a standard kick.]
After balancing his center of gravity and lowering his right foot, Chen Yu quickly approached the fallen elk he kicked. Frowning, he said, “The elks in the Academy are usually very docile. There’s no way they would take the initiative to attack humans. Is this because of the virus? Will it make animals turn aggressive?”
Roar…
The elk tilted its head and stared fixedly at Chen Yu. At this time, cracks had formed all over the elk’s body, and the elk constantly made vague sounds with its throat. Bubbles also formed continuously at its mouth. Overall, the elk looked ferocious and terrifying.
“Could this be a zombie virus?”
Roar…
Suddenly, the other elks in the courtyard began standing up one after another. They then bared their bloody teeth at Chen Yu as they surrounded him.
“It really is a zombie virus…” Chen Yu facepalmed.
[Zombies? Awesome!]
[Friends, our dream has come true! Hurry up and form teams! I’m in the Eastern Province’s Peiling City!]
[I’m in Los Angeles’s Chinatown! Hurry up and loot the police station!]
[I want to know if I break the law now, will I be arrested when I return to the real world?]
[You can try.]
[It really is a zombie virus. My cat is frothing now. What should I do?]
Seeing the elks approaching him, Chen Yu pulled out a High-frequency Lightsaber and adjusted its length to 10 meters. Without waiting for the elks to approach him, he decisively brandished the lightsaber and finished the fight.
Thud.
Thud…
The bodies of the frenzied elks broke apart and fell to the ground, their murky internal organs and black body fluids flowing out all over the place.
The next moment, a shocking scene entered Chen Yu’s eyes.
As if undergoing a chemical reaction with the air, the black fluids that had flown out of the elks’ bodies suddenly started expanding and transforming into a pool of black bubbles!
In the blink of an eye, the ground of the entire courtyard was covered in these bubbles.
Seeing that something was amiss, Chen Yu hurriedly activated the E·I Force Field and flew into the air, avoiding the fate of getting devoured by the black bubbles.
Although he had a strong physique, he might not be able to withstand so many infectious agents.
Gurgle, gurgle.
Half a minute later, the bubbles expanded to their limits and began drifting away with the wind like dandelion seeds. They then stuck to the walls, grass, windows, vegetation… They stuck to everything within Chen Yu’s line of sight. Subsequently, these massive bubbles exploded, covering the entire castle complex in drops of blood…
“Crap…” Chen Yu couldn’t help but gape at this scene.
