Lu Zuo's expression changed drastically. Following the direction of the flowing liquid, he immediately spotted the paper wall.
Lu Zuo instantly understood where the liquid had come from!
As the frost melted, it naturally turned into water.
Lu Zuo rapidly retreated, attempting to escape, but at this moment...
Zzzzt!
The sound of surging electricity suddenly rang out!
"Ah!"
In the next instant, a piteous scream was heard.
Even with Lu Zuo's swift reaction, how could he possibly be faster than the surge of electricity?
Lu Zuo's body convulsed uncontrollably, gradually softening and then collapsing to his knees. A wisp of black smoke rose from his mouth, and with a thud, Lu Zuo fell headfirst onto the ground, his body trembling from the spasms.
Bai Ye stepped forward, withdrew Ning Shuang from the paper wall, and approached Lu Zuo. He grabbed Lu Zuo by the hair and lifted his head.
"Farewell!"
Pfft!
Bai Ye pressed the blade against Lu Zuo's throat and with a sudden exertion, severed it.
"You have eliminated a participant (Ability World)."
"As this is your first elimination of a participant from an Ability World, you have received a reward: Paper God Ability Factor x1."
Paper God (Ability) (Green): With mental power, paper can be manipulated at will.
A semi-transparent white light orb appeared before Bai Ye, flew towards him, and entered his body.
It was a mysterious sensation. Bai Ye felt something had been added to his body, yet it was invisible and intangible, merely a feeling.
In the next moment, Bai Ye glanced at the ground, and an A4 paper floated up.
Bai Ye caught it with his fingers, flicked his wrist forcefully, and the A4 paper shot out to the side. With a *clang*, it became rigid as a blade and embedded itself into the metal wall.
Bai Ye looked at Lu Zuo's corpse and said, "A decent ability, but you brought it upon yourself."
Lu Zuo had a chance to kill Bai Ye. The Paper God ability wasn't just about manipulating paper; it could also harden and sharpen it, making it as sharp as a blade.
Although Bai Ye had suspected that others were in this area, he didn't know where Lu Zuo was hiding.
Therefore, if Lu Zuo had attacked with the sole intention of killing Bai Ye from the start, instead of using paper to restrain Bai Ye's hands...
Therefore, if Lu Zuo hadn't wasted so much time, giving Bai Ye the opportunity to melt the frost on Ning Shuang...
But why dwell on such "ifs"?
There were many types of Ability Worlds. Some were in a state of anarchy, where fighting, conflict, and slaughter were constant. Others were in a state of order and relative peace. Although abilities could be used for combat and killing, it didn't mean they were always employed that way.
In Bai Ye's opinion, Lu Zuo belonged to the latter, likely hailing from a relatively peaceful world.
Thus, even though his ability was suitable for combat and provided an advantage over many chosen ones in the World Battlefield, Lu Zuo was not adapted to it. At least, he didn't yet understand what kind of place the World Battlefield was.
Lu Zuo thought combat in the World Battlefield was merely a fight…
While Bai Ye understood it was a struggle for survival!
Of course, Lu Zuo would no longer have the chance to find out.
Bai Ye withdrew his gaze from Lu Zuo's corpse and approached the original virus again. This time, no one would disturb him.
"You have successfully obtained the original virus and received a reward: T-Virus Vaccine x1."
A hint of joy appeared on Bai Ye's face. Mission two was complete, and the T-Virus vaccine was acquired.
However, the most crucial part for Bai Ye was yet to come: he needed to use the T-Virus and its vaccine to strengthen his body.
Bai Ye took a deep breath, then aimed the T-Virus syringe at his arm, slowly pushing the liquid into his body.
Upon entering his body, Bai Ye didn't feel much.
In fact, contracting the T-Virus wasn't a particularly agonizing experience. The original intention behind the T-Virus's development was as a genetic drug, with Umbrella Corporation aiming to create an army that never tired and was immune to aging and death.
In a sense, Umbrella Corporation had succeeded; zombies indeed never tired and did not age or die.
Therefore, the T-Virus possessed the characteristic of strengthening and recombining biological genetic factors, leading to a significant enhancement of the physical body. The problem was its side effects: certain parts of the cerebral cortex would die, causing the user to regress to an infantile state, with facial muscles often losing control and salivary gland secretion being affected…
To put it bluntly, it turned people into simpletons!
Low intelligence meant uncontrollability and inability to follow orders, thus the T-Virus project failed. The second side effect was zombification upon death, leading to the apocalypse in the world where Umbrella Corporation was based.
Meanwhile…
As Bai Ye mused, he suddenly felt a chill spread through his body, and two streams of blood flowed from his nose.
Bai Ye wiped them away, knowing the virus had begun to take effect.
But there was no rush; he still needed to wait!
He had to pinpoint the exact moment between the strengthening and recombination of genetic factors and the necrosis of parts of the cerebral cortex to maximize the enhancement of his physical body.
Of course, this was a highly dangerous endeavor. If the vaccine wasn't administered in time, Bai Ye might truly become a zombie.
Soon, the cold sensation gradually intensified, Bai Ye's face turned pale, becoming increasingly similar to those of the zombies. Most importantly, Bai Ye began to feel his consciousness starting to dissipate.
"It's about time!"
Bai Ye gasped, took out the T-Virus vaccine injector, aimed it at his arm, and pulled the trigger. The vaccine was then rapidly injected into Bai Ye's body.
In the next instant, Bai Ye's expression suddenly contorted into a grimace, veins bulging on his neck, then on his arms. The suddenly appearing veins resembled earthworms, looking quite grotesque. Bai Ye felt an unbearable pain, as if his entire body was being torn apart.
Bai Ye rolled on the ground, his pain causing him to curl up and repeatedly bash his head against the floor. Sweat beaded on his forehead.
Fortunately, the agony didn't last long, roughly a minute and a half, before it rapidly subsided. Even so, Bai Ye was drenched in sweat.
Breathing heavily, Bai Ye grabbed a piece of equipment beside him, attempting to support himself and stand up. But at this moment… 138 Reading Network
*Creak!*
As Bai Ye pressed down on the metal casing of the instrument, it let out a piercing groan and caved in.
