Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Capture: Breakthrough Material, The Number One Survivor
[Warning: Violator is one kilometer away from you.]
’What’s going on? A violator is out and about in this environment? Does he have a death wish?’ Yu Qing’s expression changed. ’He’s not going to find me, is he?’
He was currently hiding in a basement, relying on his spartan living conditions and the large amount of supplies he had collected to hopefully survive until the event ended.
As for the influence of the Blood Moon Shadow, he wasn’t worried. Every day, he would inject a highly concentrated dose of an Abyssal Ghost Virus into his body to neutralize the effect.
Before going into hiding, he had already collected nearly fifty vials of it.
The collection method was also very simple: soaking zombie flesh in water was enough to obtain the Abyssal Ghost Virus.
Once neutralized, he began to painstakingly cultivate the power of blood in his basement.
His SSS-rank talent, Bloody Clan, seemed like a talent on the surface, but it was actually more like a complete inheritance.
Therefore, its power couldn’t be unleashed directly. Not only did it require the two attributes of physique and Spirit, but it also demanded painstaking cultivation to yield results.
Fortunately, he was diligent enough. Once the Blood Moon Shadow no longer affected him, he began to accumulate the power of blood again.
As a result, his days were quite fulfilling.
"Damn this Doomsday Game!" Yu Qing cursed.
If the Doomsday Game hadn’t dragged everyone from his world into this Doomsday World, he wouldn’t be suffering like this.
So if he was going to curse something, it had to be the Doomsday Game. Otherwise, while his old life might not have been great, at least it wasn’t life-threatening, and he didn’t have to worry about a horde of zombies that could run faster than sprinters.
’He’s probably just passing through. He must be gone by now.’ After waiting for about five minutes without hearing anything, Yu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
To be able to kill so many survivors, the violator was definitely not weak. For someone like that, covering a kilometer in five minutes would be considered slow.
Yu Qing himself could do it at a normal running pace, let alone the violator.
"He’s not gone. I just hadn’t decided where to break in."
As Qi Suian’s voice sounded out, the roof of the basement where Yu Qing was hiding was torn right off.
In that instant, the color drained from Yu Qing’s face.
"Yu Qing. SSS-rank talent, Bloody Clan," Qi Suian said as he walked in.
In Yu Qing’s eyes, he was a hulking Armored Man. frёewebnoѵēl.com
"I didn’t expect it to be you." Qi Suian knew of this Yu Qing.
In the ten years of his reincarnated life, this man was the number one survivor in the early and late stages. His talent was very special.
As for why he wasn’t number one in the middle stage? It was because he was accumulating power for a later burst.
It was incredibly difficult for survivors to obtain Extraordinary-related inheritances. They couldn’t directly learn the Extraordinary powers from other Doomsday Worlds unless the Doomsday Game turned them into Skill Books.
Qi Suian guessed the specific reason was their different physical structures. Survivors were human, yes, but only human from their original world.
But Yu Qing’s starting talent was an Extraordinary inheritance. Moreover, for it to be rated SSS-rank, its quality was definitely not low.
However, he couldn’t escape the problem of accumulation and resources. This led to him falling behind the main pack of survivors during the middle of those ten years, only reclaiming his throne as the number one survivor after he had fully developed.
"What? I don’t remember ever offending you," Yu Qing said, forcing a smile.
If you had to name someone who had the least desire to complete the permanent event, "Violator," it would most likely be Yu Qing.
He had come into contact with the Extraordinary ahead of time, so he knew his own limits.
Therefore, he also understood just how powerful a violator must be to have killed so many survivors.
Before this, he hadn’t worried too much about encountering a violator. For one simple reason: he and the violator weren’t even in the same province. No matter how much of a rampage the other party was on, his luck couldn’t possibly be so bad that he’d run into them in a city thousands of kilometers away.
And yet, the reality was just that cruel. He had met one.
And from the other person’s tone, it was clear they had come specifically for him. Escape was impossible.
"You’re right, you haven’t offended me," Qi Suian replied. As he spoke, the AI controlled the Tai Sui God to approach, unhesitatingly jabbing Yu Qing with a tranquilizer.
Although Yu Qing didn’t have time to react, his body resisted the tranquilizer.
The tranquilizer Qi Suian had prepared was a normal human dose. Yu Qing’s two main attributes had reached 1.2, surpassing a normal person, and on top of that, he had the power of blood in his body.
The injected tranquilizer was quickly neutralized by his body.
"As expected of the number one survivor, you actually resisted it." Seeing this, Qi Suian injected him with another dose of tranquilizer.
This time, the dose wasn’t for a normal person; it was the same anesthetic Qi Suian had previously used on Chunyu Bao, an Extraordinary Being who had undergone the Immortal Surgery.
With that one shot, Yu Qing lost all ability to resist. His eyes rolled back in his head, and he passed out.
Qi Suian then fitted him with an oxygen supply device and tossed him into the Subspace Stable Pocket.
This place wasn’t safe. There was no way Qi Suian would choose to conduct research here, not to mention he didn’t have any research equipment on hand.
Relying on the Tai Sui God alone was not quite enough.
"Search for the nearest Watchman Morning Company pharmaceutical R&D or bio-genetics-related branch," Qi Suian said directly to the AI.
The Watchman Morning Company had been wiped out, but their equipment was still there. As long as it had power and underwent some maintenance, it would still be usable.
[Searching...]
The AI immediately began positioning and searching, using existing map data in coordination with satellite and reconnaissance networks.
[Zombies detected approaching. Evacuate?]
It was only normal that the commotion Qi Suian had caused earlier would attract zombies.
"Let’s go."
At this stage, under the influence of the Blood Moon Shadow’s rapid evolution, the weakest zombies were at the eighth-tier level, while the strongest might already be a Corpse King on par with Chunyu Hu.
However, because they were brainless, it was unlikely they could be as strong as Chunyu Hu.
After all, Chunyu Hu had lived for over a thousand years, and his research into Ghost-related matters was thorough. How could a horde of brainless zombies that only knew how to kill possibly compare to him?
Even at the Corpse King level, there were differences.
It was like how there are kings and there are kings; some rule vast territories, while others are merely the king of a small town.
Qi Suian didn’t want to be held up by zombies; there was no benefit in killing them.
The Tai Sui God flew away immediately. Through the reconnaissance network, Qi Suian saw the bloated zombie, swollen to a gigantic size.
Upon spotting the Tai Sui God, the zombie opened its mouth and spat out a large glob of disgusting green pus.
Its speed was no less than that of a cannonball.
’So it’s a Corpse King. A pity it’s still a bit lacking.’
The Tai Sui God dodged it easily. Immediately after, a Floating Cannon fired a precisely aimed Ghost Energy Storm.
Even though Qi Suian and the Tai Sui God didn’t dare to take the hit head-on, that was just because they were fragile. It didn’t mean they couldn’t kill this Corpse King.
With the eruption of the Ghost Energy Storm, the Corpse King was instantly reduced to a pile of carbonized particles of flesh and blood. Its body had been massive, so it naturally left a lot behind.
