Chapter 570: Virus is spreading

Translator: _Min_ Editor: Caron_

Marching on the empty street, the fifteen-member-team with rifles in hand fired continuously, killing the zombies on the street. The rifles they possessed were installed with silencers and the bullets only made short and low sounds. The zombies didn’t even fully comprehend the situation before being gunned down.

The scattered civilians who thought they were the F army waved their hands in search of help. But the civilians clearly didn’t realize that their uniforms didn’t belong to any country and the badges on their shoulders didn’t distinguish their identity at all.

Zombies and civilians were all part of their kill list.

“People who don’t take the ‘mint’ will get affected?” Ladisiv killed a civilian with his hands raised while running at him. He asked Giles with a coldblooded voice.

“Not all people will get infected. It’s just like the black plague; while the mortality rate is extremely high, there will always be a few graced by lady luck who are immune to this,” Giles said nonchalantly.

“What’s the range of influence of this?” Ladisiv asked.

“Only 2.5L to create another dead city in this world,” Giles said in a pleasant tone.

Ladisiv glanced at Giles before moving his back into the crosshairs again.

“Then it’s a deadly thing.”

“Just 2.5L of the poisonous liquid costs 250 million USD. Although it can spread rapidly, the virus’s ability to survive outside the body is extremely weak; normal ultraviolet can kill it. Therefore, this thing can only spread at night to launch the first wave of infection. Thus, this is a half-finished product.” Giles grinned.

Although it was just a half-finished product, its impact was devastating. In just one hour, it made thousands of people turn into zombies. Even people who were immune to the first round of infection would become zombies after being bitten through the more infectious method of direct contact.

Ladisiv didn’t say anything more and trained his attention to the mission at hand.

Just then, they heard a faint gunshot in the distance.

“Did you hear that?” Giles stopped.

“I heard it; it sounded like a gunshot.” Ladisiv signaled the team to stop.

With his eyes narrowed, watching the flames in the distance, Giles gently said, “There are two possibilities. One is that the Country F government forces already discovered the situation here, and the other possibility is that it was Jiang Chen who fired the gun.”

…

“Jiang Chen? That’s impossible. Even though he’s a person of influence, it would’ve been impractical for him to bring a gun onto the plane.” Ladisiv disagreed.

“He didn’t need to bring it onto the plane. If it’s him, it’s not hard to make a gun appear out of thin air, so don’t be caught off guard.” Giles smiled mysteriously and continued, “You know, we are fighting against a God.”

“Bullsh*t,” Ladisiv responded coldly.

Giles shrugged and continued to raise his rifle.

“I know you don’t believe it. Whatever, regardless of what I say, let’s get to the black box first. Within three days, he won’t be able to escape. Once we obtain the black box, we’ll have plenty of time to play with him.”

Giles spoke mysteriously as he walked in front of the squad and signaled Ladisiv to follow him.

Jiang Chen took out the kinetic skeleton from the storage dimension and equipped it then rechecked the equipment on his body.

The power armor created too big of a target and was previously exposed on Coro Island, so it wasn’t suitable to be used here. If it was spotted in CIty K, it would be hard for people not to think about the possibilities.

For example, could this “resident evil” event be related to Xin? Or why did the power armor coincidentally appear in City K the same time the infection broke out?

On the contrary, the kinetic skeleton, which could be worn inside his clothes, was less conspicuous. The kinetic skeleton was more than enough against typical zombies.

Jiang Chen did mind Tanaka pointing out his trump card.

But considering the Harmony’s perspective, they shouldn’t allow other people like Jiang Chen to engage in interdimensional travel at the end of the 22nd century. If other people knew about his abilities, it would be hard to determine the final outcome.

Even if Jiang Chen said he came from the future, the media would think it was a joke.

Just like if Jiang Chen told the media that an alien colonization ship was on its way, no one would believe him either.

The fortunate thing was that Jiang Chen could confirm he possessed something that made others afraid.

And it could be the breakthrough to take down Natural Selection.

But the problem then became: what is the breakthrough point?

Jiang Chen carefully arrived on the 12th floor and opened the metal door to the roof. With the cold wind blowing in his face, he walked to the edge of the building and narrowed his eyes.

The entire city was dead. The cold river divided the city into two worlds – the west side was bright and lively while the east side was completely dark. In the distance, signs of government forces fighting against the guerrillas could be seen.

Without confirming the cause of the plane crash, he didn’t plan on contacting the government forces controlling the City K. Although the suspect that took down the plane was Tanaka who was already “dead,” the only country with the ability to take down a plane at ten thousand meters in the sky was Country F.

Considering his unfriendly relationship with Country F, Jiang Chen had enough reason to suspect a connection between Tanaka and Country F.

Thanks to the darkness and war, there were few pedestrians on the street. After the unknown virus spread, there weren’t a lot of zombies wandering on the street.

But even then, with a population of over one hundred thousand, it made the city particularly dangerous.

Explosions could be heard continuously in the distance. The city west of the river began to lose power simultaneously. Did the people who were fighting realize the soil they were fighting over was already a grave?

Where did the virus begin to spread?

With this question in mind, Jiang Chen took out his binoculars and began to search for this street.

Then, his gaze stopped on the crashed plane.

[Could it be… the source was on the plane?]

His pupils contracted slightly.

There were two groups of people who appeared in his field of vision.

A group of people were in F uniforms wore anti-poison masks; they looked like the local forces. They were stained with blood and a helicopter hovered nearby. They seemed to have diverging opinions regarding if they should shoot civilians in this chaos.

Finally, their captain seemed to have made up their minds for them. He raised his gun to shoot the “rioter” on the street before leading the team to the wreckage of the plane.

Another group of people in city camouflage weren’t equipped with anti-poison equipment at all; they didn’t have any badges that identified them either. Just from their equipment, Jiang Chen couldn’t recognize their origin. But he was certain that they were neither F government forces nor the guerrillas.

Because the weapons of the guerillas were provided by him.

Compared to the hesitant government forces, this group was much more decisive. They seemed to know that the people who lost sanity were zombies. They shot any zombies who approached them without any doubt.

The government forces noticed these uninvited guests. While they raised their rifles with caution, they also shouted out to them first.

But the reaction of the second group of people was still decisive. As if the government forces were zombies, they began firing.
