"You have killed a participant (Cultivation World)."
"For the first time completing the kill of a Cultivation World participant, you receive a reward: Ning Shuang x1."
Ning Shuang (Flying Sword) (Blue): Absorbing the dew's floating source, cleansing with the swirling condensed frost. Effects: Sword Riding (Transforms into frost and wraps around the body, can attack autonomously), Sword Frost Illusion (Transforms into frost to create a frost illusion, randomly inflicting freeze, frostbite, and slow effects on targets within a 3-meter radius), Ice Wall (Transforms into an ice wall for defense).
Bai Ye spread his palm. In his palm was a small sword, half an arm in length, hovering and undulating, surrounded by silvery frost mist that emanated a chill.
Looking at the data displayed on the projection screen, Bai Ye nodded with satisfaction.
This was the kind of reward that should come with a first kill. What was that incomplete Sunflower Manual all about? It didn't teach martial arts and yet wanted to castrate people.
Letting Ning Shuang float around him, Bai Ye cautiously peeked his head out.
The commotion was significant, and it might attract zombies. But after peeking, he only saw Liang Luo, who had turned into a charred corpse and lay motionless on the ground.
Bai Ye felt significantly more at ease. The fact that no zombies appeared despite this commotion indicated that there were likely no zombies in the vicinity. Thus, after leaving the room, Bai Ye uncapped a pack of nutrient solution, stuck it in his mouth to replenish his energy, and strode forward.
After about fifteen minutes, passing through Area A, the illuminated sign in the corridor changed to Area B. Bai Ye's footsteps finally slowed, and he soon stopped in front of 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 and data, receiving a reward: T-Virus x1."
In his previous life, Bai Ye had entered the underground base of Umbrella Corporation.
At that time, Bai Ye had completed Mission One and Mission Two, successfully obtaining the T-Virus and T-Virus vaccine. Regrettably, he failed in his search for the Tyrant, being outmaneuvered by others, and thus could not obtain the G-Virus and fragment of the God Stone.
However, returning to this place now, Bai Ye was confident he would not fail again.
Others should still be wandering around the outer perimeter of the base, either entangled by the lurking zombies or trapped by the labyrinthine underground base. But Bai Ye knew exactly where the virus research files and the original virus samples were located.
Therefore, Bai Ye was absolutely confident that he could complete all the missions before anyone else.
"Perhaps by the time I deal with the Tyrant, those guys will still be busy searching for the virus research files!"
Bai Ye shrugged and then left the room, intending to search for his next target—the original virus sample.
But the moment he left the room, Bai Ye's expression suddenly stiffened.
Footsteps!
From one side of the corridor, distinct footsteps could be heard.
Bai Ye couldn't help but grin. Had he been proven wrong so quickly? He had just been brimming with confidence, believing no one could match his progress.
As Bai Ye thought this, he moved to the corner of the corridor and peeked into the side passage.
Two men, wearing white robes and jade belts at their waists. One had his hair unbound, the other wore a gold-inlaid crown. Their attire was similar to Liang Luo's.
"Cultivators again?" Bai Ye wondered. "Kunlun disciples?"
Cultivators appearing here wasn't entirely surprising.
The Cultivation World was rife with conflict. When it came to combat, the chosen ones from the Cultivation World were indeed quite powerful in the early stages of entering the World Battlefield; they had an innate advantage in combat.
The zombies on the outer perimeter wouldn't stop these cultivators. It was entirely possible they had fought their way in. What Bai Ye found curious was that, including Liang Luo, this made three Kunlun disciples.
The positions upon entering the World Battlefield were random, as were the positions upon entering the Forbidden Zone. How did these individuals end up together?
As Bai Ye pondered, he pulled up the hood of his sweatshirt and then lay down in the corner, feigning death.
Soon, the footsteps grew clearer, indicating the approaching presence.
"It seems Liang Luo is unreachable."
"What about Senior Sister Lan and Junior Brother Mo?"
"They said they were on their way, but the signs on the road are a bit confusing."
One man said, pointing to the illuminated sign on the side.
Bai Ye secretly glanced at the sign and was amused. These idiots couldn't read English letters. The sign clearly read Area B, number 12.
"Should we contact them again?"
"Let's assess the situation first. We don't have much spirit communication paper, so let's not waste it."
Bai Ye wore a look of understanding. No wonder these Kunlun disciples could find each other; they actually had a means of communication.
Meanwhile…
The footsteps suddenly stopped, and the two men had reached Bai Ye's side.
One of them glanced at Bai Ye but quickly averted his gaze, signaling his companion, intending to move forward.
But at that very moment…
Bai Ye lunged, grabbing the man's ankle. He then used Ning Shuang to slash forcefully at the back of the man's heel, severing his Achilles tendon.
"Ah!"
Accompanied by a scream, the man knelt on one knee on the ground. What greeted him was the dark muzzle of a gun.
Bai Ye drew his pistol instantly, aimed it at the man's head, and decisively pulled the trigger.
Bang!
With the sound of the gunshot, a bloody hole appeared on the man's head.
Although Bai Ye had acted swiftly, it all happened in an instant. It wasn't until blood splattered that the other Kunlun disciple reacted. He let out an enraged roar, then drew a long sword and swung it towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye promptly lifted the corpse in front of him, and then…
Pfft!
The sound of tearing flesh and blood echoed. A wound was inflicted on the corpse's back, and blood spattered!
"Shameless!" The Kunlun disciple, seeing Bai Ye using the corpse as a shield, became furious. He took a step back, formed a hand seal, and declared, "Kunlun Spiritual Technique, Sword Heart Resonance…"
But at that precise moment…
Zzzt!
The instant the opponent formed the hand seal, a sound of surging electricity abruptly appeared. Subsequently, a torrent of electricity flowed along the floor and walls, preemptively engulfing the Kunlun disciple.
The intense stinging and paralyzing sensation caused the Kunlun disciple's face to change drastically, his body involuntarily trembling.
Then…
Bai Ye's pistol was once again aimed at the man's head.
Bang!
As the trigger was pulled, the Kunlun disciple fell straight backward, crashing onto the floor, life extinguished.
…
