"You have killed a participant (Cultivation World)."
"As the first kill of a Cultivation World participant, you have been rewarded with: Ning Shuang x1."
Ning Shuang (Flying Sword) (Blue): Drawing the dew of the floating source, rinsing the frosty essence, Effects: Sword Control (cold frost wraps around the body, can attack autonomously), Frost Illusion (conjures frost with the sword, randomly inflicting freeze, frostbite, and slow effects on targets within a 3-meter radius), Ice Wall (conjures an ice wall with the sword for defense).
Bai Ye spread his palm, and in it lay a small sword, half an arm's length, hovering and undulating. Silver-white frost mist swirled around it, emanating a chill.
Looking at the data displayed on the projection screen, Bai Ye nodded with satisfaction.
This was the kind of reward for a first kill. What was that incomplete Sunflower Manual? It not only taught no martial arts but also aimed to castrate people.
Allowing Ning Shuang to float around him, Bai Ye cautiously peeked out.
The commotion had been considerable and might attract zombies. However, upon peeking, he only saw Liang Luo, charred and motionless on the ground.
Bai Ye felt a great deal of relief. If such a commotion hadn't drawn any zombies, it meant that this entire area was likely zombie-free. Thus, after leaving the room, Bai Ye unscrewed a packet of nutrient solution, stuffed it into his mouth to replenish his energy, and strode forward.
About a quarter of an hour later, after traversing Zone A, the light signs in the corridor changed to Zone B. Bai Ye's steps finally slowed, and he soon stopped before a room. Through the glass window, he could see rows of massive server racks.
Bai Ye entered and, looking at the labels on the servers, quickly found his target and pulled out a hard drive.
"You have successfully obtained the virus research files. Reward: T-Virus x1."
In his previous life, Bai Ye had indeed entered the underground base of the Umbrella Corporation.
At that time, Bai Ye had completed Mission One and Mission Two, successfully acquiring the T-Virus and T-Virus vaccine. Unfortunately, he failed in his search for the Tyrant, being beaten to it by others. Consequently, he did not manage to obtain the G-Virus and the Shard of God's Stone.
But now, returning to this place, Bai Ye was confident that he would not falter again.
The others were likely still wandering outside the base, either entangled by the lurking zombies or trapped within the labyrinthine underground complex. However, Bai Ye clearly knew the location of the virus research files and the sample of the original virus.
Therefore, Bai Ye was absolutely confident that he could complete all the missions before anyone else.
"Perhaps when I'm dealing with the Tyrant, those guys will still be busy trying to find the virus research files!"
Bai Ye shrugged and left the room, intending to find his next target – the sample of the original virus.
But the moment he stepped out of the room, Bai Ye's expression suddenly froze.
Footsteps!
From one side of the corridor, distinct footsteps could be heard.
Bai Ye couldn't help but grin. Was this a swift slap in the face? He had just been brimming with confidence, thinking no one could match his progress.
As he pondered, Bai Ye moved to the corner of the corridor and peeked into the adjacent passage.
Two men, clad in white robes with jade belts, one with flowing hair, the other wearing a gold-inlaid crown, their attire similar to Liang Luo's.
"Cultivators again?" Bai Ye wondered. "Kunlun disciples?"
The appearance of people from the Cultivation World here wasn't entirely unexpected.
The Cultivation World was rife with conflict. In terms of combat, the chosen ones from the Cultivation World were indeed quite formidable at the initial stages after entering the World Battlefield; they had a natural advantage in combat.
The zombies on the periphery wouldn't stop these cultivators, and it was possible they had fought their way in. What intrigued Bai Ye was that, including Liang Luo, this made three Kunlun disciples.
The starting positions in the World Battlefield were random, and the entry points into the restricted zone were also random. How did these individuals end up together?
As Bai Ye thought, he pulled up the hood of his hoodie and then feigned death by a corner.
Soon, the footsteps grew clearer, indicating their approach.
"Liang Luo seems unreachable."
"What about Senior Sister Lan and Junior Brother Mo?"
"They said they are on their way, but the markings on the path are a bit unclear."
One man said, pointing to the light signs on the side.
Bai Ye stealthily glanced at the signs and chuckled. These fools couldn't read English letters. The signs clearly indicated Zone B, Number 12.
"Should we contact them again?"
"Let's assess the situation first. We don't have much transmission spiritual paper, so let's not waste it easily."
Bai Ye wore a knowing expression. No wonder these Kunlun disciples could gather. They possessed a means of communication.
At the same time...
The footsteps suddenly stopped, and the two men had reached Bai Ye's position.
One of them glanced at Bai Ye, but quickly averted his gaze and signaled to his companion, intending to move forward.
But at that very moment...
Bai Ye struck swiftly, grabbing the man's ankle and using Ning Shuang to slash at his heel, severing his Achilles tendon.
"Ah!"
Accompanied by a scream, the man collapsed onto one knee. Before him, a dark gun barrel was aimed.
Bai Ye drew his pistol instantly, aimed it at the man's head, and pulled the trigger decisively.
Bang!
With the shot, a bloody hole appeared in the man's head.
Although Bai Ye had acted swiftly, it all happened in an instant. Only when blood splattered did the other Kunlun disciple react, roaring in fury before drawing a long sword and slashing towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye decisively lifted the corpse in front of him and then...
*Puff!*
A sound of tearing flesh and blood echoed. A wound was cleaved into the corpse's back, and blood splashed!
"Shameless!" The Kunlun disciple, seeing Bai Ye use a corpse as a shield, was enraged. He took a step back, formed a hand seal, and chanted, "Kunlun Spirit Art, Sword Heart Resonance..."
But at this instant...
*Zzzzt!*
As the opponent formed the hand seal, a crackling sound of surging electricity suddenly erupted. Immediately, a wave of electricity flowed along the floor and walls, engulfing the Kunlun disciple first.
The intense pain and numb sensation caused the Kunlun disciple's face to change drastically, his body trembling involuntarily.
Then...
Bai Ye's pistol was once again aimed at the opponent's head.
Bang!
As the trigger was pulled, the Kunlun disciple fell straight backward, collapsing onto the floor, lifeless.
...
