Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 98

Chapter 98: First Contact

“Please be careful” the servant advised them seriously.

“Why?” Zhang Ying Hao looked at the person on the wall as if looking at a treasure.

“Because it doesn’t know fear” Gu Qing Shan said as he deeply sighed.

Feeling a bit sorrowful, he closed his eyes.

Destiny clearly isn’t following the rules in this life.

The very situation that he was afraid of is happening.

After a moment of silence, Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes, calming himself down just a bit.

He asked: “This man, where did you find him?”

The servant: “He was one of our interns, but he suddenly went crazy and tried to bite the boss. The boss only needed one swing to kill him, but unexpectedly, he didn’t die”

“That’s fortune in misfortune, luckily the one he chose to attack was the Martial Eminence”

Gu Qing Shan said as he stepped forward.

As the man on the wall felt signs of life, he opened his eyes wide, growling as his spit flew.

Gorgggggg!

The growl became a roar as he struggled, trying to escape from the wall.

Seeing the frenzied look in his eyes, Zhang Ying Hao suddenly understood.

————this person is very hungry, and he wants to eat me.

Such a thought left Zhang Ying Hao stunned on the spot, unable to move.

Gu Qing Shan emotionlessly walked towards the wall, raised his Earth sword and thrust it.

A full power thrust.

He held nothing back, piercing through both the steel wall and the old man, creating a giant hole in the wall.

They felt the entire building shook.

This time, even the employees from the casino were in a rush to escape the building.

“You ———-even if you don’t want this bastard, you didn’t have to do that, this is our property you know” Zhang Ying Hao couldn’t help but yell.

“Property?” Gu Qing Shan’s face showed a bitter smile

“This property is about to go down very soon” he said.

“What do you mean? What happened?” Zhang Ying Hao noticed something was amiss.

Gu Qing Shan pulled him away: “We don’t have time; I’ll explain as we go”

The two of them quickly left the casino.

Gu Qing Shan looked at him and spoke very solemnly: “I’ll give you some advice right now”

“Go on, I’m listening” seeing Gu Qing Shan so serious, Zhang Ying Hao also became serious.

Gu Qing Shan: “These creatures have absolutely no value, if you run into one then immediately break its neck, blow up its head if you can”

“Do not let it scratch you, and absolutely do not let it bite you”

Zhang Ying Hao asked: “What happens if I’m bitten?”

Gu Qing Shan didn’t continue.

Zhang Ying Hao asked: “What happened to you? I keep feeling like you aren’t quite well in the head?”

Gu Qing Shan sighed deeply again, saying: “Do your best to protect yourself, I don’t want to lose a business partner”

“What do you mean?” Zhang Ying Hao still doesn’t understand.

“You idiot!” Gu Qing Shan suddenly shouted: “That’s an Infected, people who are wounded or bitten by them will become Man Eater Fiends!”

“The Apocalypse is upon us! Do you understand!? The ocean! Humanity itself! There will be even more of them from now on! It’s changed, everything is changed!”

Zhang Ying Hao was stunned.

He hasn’t seen Gu Qing Shan so distressed and angry like this before.

Even after he got played by the Martial Eminence Zhou Kai Wu so many times, Gu Qing Shan still didn’t get this angry.

“I’m sorry” Gu Qing Shan noticed his mental state wasn’t quite right and spoke again, slowly: “If you have someone dear to you that’s frequently in a crowd of people, quickly go protect them”

Zhang Ying Hao stepped closer to Gu Qing Shan: “Tell me, tell me that you’re joking with me right now”

“No, I’m telling the truth, I swear it on my own head” Gu Qing Shan looked straight at him without backing down.

Very sincerely, he said: “I highly encourage you to go save them right now. Because if they’re bitten, they can’t be saved anymore”

Zhang Ying Hao stood in place, then finally took in Gu Qing Shan’s words after a while.

“My little sister!”

As he remembered, his facial expression warped.

“Please make it in time!”

He pressed his hand downwards, roaring: “Come out, black cat! Reindeer!”

A large hole appeared on the ground.

The black cat jumped out first.

After him was a reindeer with incredibly long antlers wearing a bell on its neck.

Zhang Ying Hao coughed up blood, but didn’t mind it as he wiped the blood from his mouth.

He jumped on the reindeer and put the black cat on his shoulder.

“Black cat, lead the way to my little sister! Please run as fast as possible, please!”

The reindeer lightly nodded his head, then started galloping into the air, flying.

It quickly gained speed, finally became a brown streak as it jetted across the sky, flying somewhere far away.

After Zhang Ying Hao left, Gu Qing Shan forced himself to calm down and figure out what he can do to counteract this.

Su Xue Er is now in secluded training in her family estate, the Su family’s security is guaranteed, not to mention they’re on the lake island, with 4th stage Supernaturalists protecting them.

There probably won’t be any problem with her personal safety.

Anna herself is also strong, so there won’t be any problems there as well.

The real problem are the citizens, normal, everyday people that have very little or no fighting strength.

Gu Qing Shan took out his Holo-Brain and turned it on.

“Impartial supreme-rulerdess” he called.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

[I’ve heard your call, what do you wish to do, sir Gu Qing Shan?]

Impartial supreme-rulerdess’ voice was heard.

Gu Qing Shan started to explain: “I’ve found a unique situation, hopefully it’ll be able to gain your attention”

As he remembered something, he then added: “Right, if you could, connect to the President as well, I’ll explain the situation to him too”

Impartial supreme-rulerdess said: [Very well, to connect to the President requires using the highest leader authority, do you authorize?]

“I authorize”

[Received authorization, connecting to the President]

Just a few moments later, the President’s face appeared on the Holo-Brain.

You could see the fatigue on his face as both his eyes were bloodshot.

Gu Qing Shan can see that he appeared to be physically older than before.

The last few days of oceanic disturbance seems to have brought a lot of pressure on him.

[Qing Shan, Impartial supreme-rulerdess said you were looking for me?] the President asked with a friendly expression.

“To be exact, I’m looking for both Impartial supreme-rulerdess and you”

[Can’t we talk later tonight ———tonight I can finally go back to rest, heck, we can even have dinner together] the President laughed.

He then continued: [I’ve promised to have lunch with you a few days ago, but lately work has really been piling up, all the assistants and I have been stuck at the office]

Gu Qing Shan smiled wryly, saying: “I’m afraid you won’t make it back home tonight”

[Hm? What do you mean?] The President didn’t quite understand.

Gu Qing Shan sighed deeply.

The first thing he said made the President extremely surprised.

“From now on, I authorize the President full usage of my research results, he will have full right to use it without my permission”

[What happened? Did some Aristocrat threaten you?] the President’s tone became strict.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head, then continued: “Impartial supreme-rulerdess, have you recorded my authorization?”

[Authorization recorded. Please continue, sir Gu Qing Shan] Impartial supreme-rulerdess replied.

Gu Qing Shan nodded, then started to explain.

“Two never-before-seen viruses have appeared”

“The first virus is infected through wounds. The infected will lose their consciousness and obtain an immense craving for human flesh, I call it the Man Eater Fiend syndrome”

“This virus is inversely affected by the person’ physical constitution, those that have a stronger constitution will be less likely to be infected”

“The good news is, Man Eater Fiend syndrome will only affect the vast majority of the population, but it won’t evolve”

“However, aside from the Man Eater Fiend, there’s another more frightening kind of virus, and it’s the one that I will talk about now”

Gu Qing Shan stopped here a bit

Fuck, just what is going on with this world?

Even Professionists aren’t immune to the other virus.

The bit his lip tightly, calming himself down a bit before continuing.

“The second type of virus will transform humans into a highly evolved Man Killer Fiend”

“Anyone can be infected, there’s no separation between royal or not, rich or poor, no matter how well your security is, aside from reaching the 4th stage of a Profession, there is no way to ensure safety from its grasp”

“Even if you inject the Infected with a high concentration of Heroine, their brain will not secrete any Dopamine”

“The only thing they can do to feel pleasure is killing, and that’s the only thought left in their brain”

“An Infected will feel a compulsive desire to kill any and all living things in their sight”

Gu Qing Shan paused.

Then he spoke the truth that made humanity fall into despair.

“The virus is transmitted through the air”

“And it can evolve”
