Apocalypse: Infinite God-tier Options At The Beginning

Chapter 27 Xu Qi Is Infected with the Virus, The Hooligans Are Watching Him

“Bang!” Without the control of the virus, the huge body of the mutated zombie immediately fell to the ground, raising a large cloud of dust.

Xu Qi endured the pain in his left shoulder and locked the fire door again.

At this moment, there were still many zombies on the first floor of the hypermarket. However, perhaps because of the presence of the mutated zombie, they did not rush over.

“Cough, cough…”

At this moment, Xu Qi could clearly feel that all the strength in his body was being sucked away bit by bit. He could even feel a numbing and itchy sensation around the open wound on his right shoulder.

He had seen with his own eyes how people who were infected with the zombie virus became zombies bit by bit. At this moment, he naturally understood what this feeling meant.

Anyone infected by the virus would become a zombie without exception!

The tragic state of the two workers at the water purification station seemed to linger in his mind.

“Xu Qi… Xu Qi, are you alright…”

Tang Wanqiu, who had been paying attention to the battle, immediately ran down from the second floor when she saw the mutated zombie fall to the ground.

She wanted to help Xu Qi check if he was tainted with the blood of mutated zombies. However, just as she ran down from the second floor, she saw Xu Qi sitting under the fire door.

At this moment, Xu Qi’s face was pale, and his expression was a little dispirited. There was a wound the size of a cup on his left shoulder. His clothes were stained with blood and he looked extremely miserable.

The most shocking thing that Tang Wanqiu saw was that the flesh on Xu Qi’s left shoulder was slowly turning grayish-brown. He was obviously infected with the zombie virus!!

Seeing Xu Qi like this, Tang Wanqiu was stunned and did not know what to do.

However, her eyes instantly turned red, and tears flowed down her cheeks silently.

Xu Qi got up from the ground with difficulty and said in a weak voice, “Wanqiu, don’t cry first. I’m fine now. Help me get two rolls of bandages from the staff lounge on the second floor. Otherwise, I’ll really be in trouble.”

Hearing Xu Qi’s voice, Tang Wanqiu felt a little better. However, she still felt guilty towards Xu Qi.

If not for her, with Xu Qi’s skills and ability, she would definitely be able to survive in the post-apocalyptic world. However, because of her, Xu Qi had no choice but to face that mutated zombie in this battle. Now that things had turned out like this, she had an undeniable responsibility!

However, after hearing Xu Qi’s instructions, Tang Wanqiu quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and immediately ran to the second floor.

While Tang Wanqiu went to get the bandage, Xu Qi used the Tang saber to cut open the mutated zombie’s head with difficulty. Because he exerted too much strength, the wound started bleeding again.

“Hiss… It really hurts.”

Xu Qi gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart. Then he reached his hand into the zombie’s head. Anyway, he was already infected with the virus, so it didn’t matter.

Soon he found the hard crystal core in the zombie’s sticky brain and took it out.

To Xu Qi’s surprise, the crystal core in the mutated zombie’s head actually revealed a faint red color.

Moreover, it was larger than an ordinary translucent crystal core. It looked like a gem and was very dazzling.

[Ding… Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 2 Zombie Virus Crystal Core. Reward: 10 points.]

A system notification sounded in her mind. Xu Qi was slightly stunned before immediately putting it into his pocket.

“Let me help you…”

At this moment, Tang Wanqiu had already returned with the bandage. Seeing that Xu Qi was seriously injured, she took the initiative to help him bandage his wound as she couldn’t bear to let him worsen his injury.

Xu Qi was in a very bad state. He had lost a lot of blood, and the battle just now had exhausted him. He didn’t even have the strength to raise his arm.

Moreover, Xu Qi clearly felt that his head was a little swollen, so he stopped his display of bravado and let Tang Wanqiu stop the bleeding.

Xu Qi first used a cotton swab to clean the dirty blood around his wound. Then she began to bandage it very carefully. From time to time, she would turn her head to look at his expression, afraid that she would hurt him.

Xu Qi’s heart warmed slightly. This girl knew that he was already infected with the zombie virus, but she still helped to treat his injuries without any worries.

Trust was the most precious thing in the apocalypse. To be missed by Tang Wanqiu like this, Xu Qi felt that his shoulder didn’t hurt so much anymore.

“Let me help you back to rest.”

Seeing that the wound was no longer bleeding, Tang Wanqiu finally heaved a sigh of relief. Then she immediately pulled Xu Qi’s intact arm and placed it on her shoulder, wanting to help him upstairs.

Xu Qi was a little helpless and immediately explained, “I can go upstairs by myself. I’m not that seriously injured.”

However, Tang Wangiu refused to put down his hand. She said with a serious expression, “What if the wound accidentally opens? You promised to protect me. If your body collapses, how can you protect me in the future?”

Towards the end, Tang Wanqiu felt a lump in her throat and her voice gradually became tearful.

She was very afraid that Xu Qi would be infected and become a zombie like the others. At the same time, she prayed in her heart that Xu Qi would be special and not become a zombie.

Xu Qi couldn’t bear to see Tang Wanqiu cry. He could only let her help him up the stairs.

But when he was helped to the second-floor hall, he noticed that the female workers were deliberately avoiding him, and the hooligans were looking at him with guarded and strange expressions.

“Tsk tsk, Brother Xu, your combat strength is really fierce. Unfortunately, you’re infected with the virus.

I, Hua, still admire you very much. However, your infection with the virus will definitely bring us danger. I think you should leave the hypermarket. Don’t make things difficult for

me.”

At this moment, Brother Hua walked over quickly and looked at the pale Xu Qi with a strange smile.

Xu Qi frowned slightly. He could clearly hear the threat in the other party’s words. He did not even hide the mockery on his face at all. He was completely taking advantage of the fact that he was infected by the virus to fall out with him!

Xu Qi’s face turned cold. He would not allow such a beast to exist beside him. He immediately prepared to draw his saber and kill the other party.

However, just as he was about to attack, his heart suddenly shrank. Immediately after, his body temperature rose rapidly. His limbs trembled as if they were not listening to his command.

“Hahaha! Looks like I guessed correctly. You’re already showing symptoms of becoming a zombie, yet you still want to kill me. I think you’re dreaming. I’ll take over the hypermarket for you. Of course, I’ll also take good care of this girl beside you!”

The mockery on Brother Hua’s face was even more obvious. The few hooligans behind him immediately perked up and surrounded him. They planned to kill Xu Qi while he was about to mutate!

At this critical moment, a system notification suddenly sounded in Xu Qi’s mind.

(Ding! Detected that the host has been attacked by a mutated zombie, the Scarlet Overlord. Currently infected with the virus. God-level selection function activated.]

(Please make a choice among the following options.]

Option 1: Inherit the virus chain and immediately become a mutated zombie that has lost its mind, Scarlet Overlord.

Option 2: Resist the virus and immediately obtain the prion stabilizer. After injecting the stabilizer, it can suppress the virus in your body for seven days. It can temporarily maintain the stability of the body and delay the time of becoming a zombie.

Option 3: Fuse with the virus and immediately obtain the virus enhancement agent. After consuming it, you can transform part of the host’s body into a high-level zombie and obtain the power and indestructible characteristics of the zombie. At the same time, you can retain your human form and rationality. (This option is a hidden option. The host needs to obtain more information about the zombie virus through relevant channels to unlock it.)
