Lu Zuo's expression changed drastically. He followed the flow of the liquid and saw the paper wall.
Lu Zuo immediately knew where the liquid came from!
The ice had melted, naturally turning into water.
Lu Zuo quickly retreated, wanting to escape, but at this moment...
*Sizzle!*
The sound of surging electricity suddenly rang out!
"Ah!"
The next moment, a tragic scream echoed.
Even with Lu Zuo's swift reaction, how could he be faster than the surging electricity?
Lu Zuo's body convulsed, and he slowly softened, kneeling on the ground. As he opened his mouth, a wisp of black smoke rose from it, and with a thud, Lu Zuo fell headfirst to the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably from the spasms.
Bai Ye stepped forward, drew Ning Shuang from the paper wall, and approached Lu Zuo. He grabbed Lu Zuo by the hair, lifting his head.
"Farewell!"
*Thwack!*
Bai Ye pressed the sword's edge against Lu Zuo's throat and gave a fierce push, severing Lu Zuo's windpipe.
"You have eliminated a participant (Ability World)."
"For the first time completing the elimination of an Ability World participant, 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 orb appeared before Bai Ye and then flew towards him, entering his body.
It was a profound sensation. Bai Ye felt something had been added to his body, yet it was neither visible nor tangible, just a feeling.
The next moment, Bai Ye glanced at the ground, and a sheet of A4 paper flew up.
Bai Ye caught it between his fingers and flicked his wrist. The A4 paper shot out to the side, and with a "clang," it became rigid, like a blade, embedding itself into the metal wall.
Bai Ye looked at Lu Zuo's corpse and said, "A good ability, pity you brought it upon yourself."
Lu Zuo had the opportunity to kill Bai Ye. The Paper God ability was not just about manipulating paper; it could also harden and sharpen it, making it as sharp as a blade.
Although Bai Ye had guessed that there were others in this area, he didn't know where Lu Zuo was hiding.
Therefore, if Lu Zuo had attacked with the intent to kill Bai Ye from the start, instead of using paper to restrain Bai Ye's hands...
If Lu Zuo hadn't babbled so much, giving Bai Ye time to melt the frost on Ning Shuang sword...
But what good was all this "if"?
There were many types of Ability Worlds. Some Ability Worlds were in a state of chaos, where fighting, conflict, and slaughter were constant. But some Ability Worlds were in an orderly state, relatively peaceful. Although abilities could be used for combat and killing, it did not mean they should be used that way.
In Bai Ye's opinion, Lu Zuo belonged to the latter, likely from a relatively peaceful world.
Thus, while his abilities were applicable in combat and gave him an advantage over many chosen ones from other worlds in the World Battlefield, Lu Zuo was not adapted to the World Battlefield, or at least, he did not yet understand what kind of place it was.
Lu Zuo thought combat in the World Battlefield was just fighting...
But Bai Ye understood it was a struggle for survival!
Of course, Lu Zuo would have no further opportunity to know.
Bai Ye shifted his gaze from Lu Zuo's corpse and walked towards the original virus again. This time, no one would disturb him.
"You have successfully acquired the original virus and obtained 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 in hand.
However, what followed was the most critical part for Bai Ye. He needed to use the T-Virus and the T-Virus 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.
The virus entered his body, and Bai Ye didn't feel much.
In fact, contracting the T-Virus was not an overly painful experience. This was because the original purpose of the T-Virus was as a gene drug. Umbrella Corporation intended to use it to create an army that was tireless and immune to aging and death.
In a way, Umbrella Corporation had succeeded. The zombies were indeed tireless and did not age or die.
Therefore, the T-Virus possessed the ability to enhance and recombine biological genetic factors, resulting in significant physical enhancement. The problem was that a major side effect of the T-Virus was the necrosis of certain parts of the cerebral cortex, causing the injected person to regress to an infant-like state, their facial muscles often uncontrollable, and affecting the salivary glands...
To put it bluntly, they would become intellectually disabled!
And low intelligence meant uncontrollability and inability to follow orders. Thus, the T-Virus project failed. The second side effect was zombification after death, ushering in an apocalyptic era for Umbrella Corporation's world.
Meanwhile...
As Bai Ye was contemplating, he suddenly felt a chill spread through his body, and two streams of blood began to drip 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 precisely time the crossover point between the enhancement and recombination of biological genetic factors and the necrosis of parts of the cerebral cortex. Only then could he maximize the enhancement of his physique.
Of course, this was a very dangerous endeavor. If the vaccine was not administered in time, Bai Ye could truly turn into a zombie.
Soon, the cold sensation intensified, Bai Ye's face turned pale, gradually resembling those of the zombies. Most importantly, Bai Ye began to feel his consciousness starting to dissipate.
"It's almost time!"
Bai Ye panted, took out the T-Virus vaccine injector, aimed it at his arm, pulled the trigger, and the vaccine was rapidly injected into Bai Ye's body.
The next instant, Bai Ye's expression suddenly contorted. Veins bulged on his neck, then on his arms, appearing like grotesque earthworms. Bai Ye felt a pain as if his entire body was being torn apart.
Bai Ye rolled on the ground, his body curled up in pain, repeatedly banging his head against the ground, sweat beading on his forehead.
Fortunately, the agony did not last long, about a minute and a half. The pain then rapidly subsided, although Bai Ye was still drenched in sweat.
Bai Ye panted and grabbed onto a nearby piece of equipment, trying to support himself as he climbed up. But at this moment...
*Creak!*
As Bai Ye pressed down on the metal casing of the equipment, it emitted a grating sound, indenting significantly under his grip.
