Chapter 215: Your Death Day 2
Grub suddenly sneered, “With just you lot, you think you can make today my death day?”
“It’s not us, it’s one of us who can crush you like an ant!” Xia Chenge scoffed. “Do you really think your virus is invincible? Still planning to cause chaos worldwide? Let me tell you the truth, Ling Hanmu has the antibody to your virus. Even if you infect more people, we can still save them!”
“Those few infected people in Haicheng a few days ago, do you really think they died? You’re wrong, they are alive and well. Of course, besides us, many biologists know about your wolfish ambition. Do you think you can still stand in this world if you escape from here today?”
“It’s not just us, countries all over the world will hunt you. You’ll have nowhere to run. But don’t forget, I can track you now, and I’ll be able to do it in the future. No matter where you run, I’ll find a way to drag you out!”
“That’s impossible!” Grub said.
“It’s impossible in your opinion,” Xia Chenge said coldly. “That doesn’t mean it’s not a fact.”
“Is that so? Then let’s die together.” As he spoke, Grub suddenly turned backward, picked up a test tube from the experimental bench, and raised it. “As long as I drop this test tube, everyone will go to hell together. No, this entire town will become hell.”
“Boss, don’t be rash!” Grub’s subordinates exclaimed in fear.
Xia Chenge and Ling Hanmu stepped forward. Xia Chenge said, “What trick are you playing now?”
Grub’s face contorted. “Do you know what this virus is? I named it ‘Savior’! It can spread directly through the air. Once infected, people will be completely consumed by the virus and become its hosts, like mushrooms growing from the ground!”
“Then, the virus will slowly decompose their bones, eventually becoming nourishment for the virus.”
“Do you know how beautiful these mushrooms grow?”
“You pervert!” Xia Chenge cursed.
“Would you like to admire the beautiful mushrooms I’ve developed?” Grub smiled like a demon.
“Boss, no!” his subordinates shouted, their complexions ashen.
Grub turned a deaf ear, raised the test tube high, and then released his finger.
Under the force of gravity, the test tube fell straight down.
Those people’s eyes widened, their faces filled with terror.
“Hahaha…” Grub sneered again.
However, after four or five seconds, he still didn’t hear the sound of the test tube shattering on the ground.
He abruptly stopped laughing and looked down.
The floor was as smooth as ever, with no glass shards from the test tube, nor any viral culture medium.
He suddenly looked at Xia Chenge.
Xia Chenge was holding a test tube he was all too familiar with, examining it closely. “Is this the beautiful mushroom you were talking about? Besides this culture medium, I really can’t see its aesthetic appeal. Grub, have you gone mad and are hallucinating? Where are the mushrooms?”
“How is that possible?” Grub muttered in disbelief, his face stunned that the virus had actually ended up in Xia Chenge’s hands!
“Didn’t I just say that what you think is impossible doesn’t mean it won’t happen?” Xia Chenge said calmly. “What other tricks do you have? Bring them out, or you’ll miss your chance and never have a stage to perform on again!”
“Kill her for me!” Grub was provoked and roared at his subordinates.
Before he finished speaking, Ling Hanmu had already made his move, quickly taking them down one by one, leaving only Grub standing there.
“That virus can make you this strong?” Grub stared, his gaze fanatical and deranged.
“Why did you use living people for research?” Xia Chenge stared at him. “This is anti-human!”
“Why? Everyone desires a long life and to be invincible. I’m no exception. If it can make people stronger and free from the torment of disease, isn’t that a good thing? It’s a great dream!” Grub said through gritted teeth.
Ling Hanmu’s gaze turned cold. “Great? Don’t tarnish the word ‘great.’ You’re just pursuing your own desires and making the whole world pay for it!”
“You have no right to say that. If it weren’t for us, would you, Ling Hanmu, be where you are today? You’re just a second-generation rich kid!” Grub pointed at Ling Hanmu.
“Heh…” Ling Hanmu sneered. “The sins you impose on others have become your acts of kindness?”
“Xiao Mu, don’t talk to this inhuman beast. Let’s get it done!” He, who brought about the apocalypse, considers himself a savior? Such shamelessness infuriated Xia Chenge.
“I want to see how strong you puppets can be!” Grub said, suddenly charging forward.
Just as Xia Chenge was about to meet him, she keenly noticed his fingernails suddenly growing long and black, and his face beginning to change. She quickly retreated to avoid him, reminding Ling Hanmu, “Be careful, his condition is not right!”
At this moment, Grub’s movements became extremely fast.
His sharp, long fingernails incessantly clawed at Xia Chenge and Ling Hanmu.
Grub let out a strange laugh. “You think only Ling Zhongwen and Zheng Changdong researched viruses all these years? Let me tell you, I am the true virus! Since you’ve pushed me to a dead end, then let the whole world perish with me!”
Then, Xia Chenge smelled a foul, pungent odor emanating from Grub. Upon inhaling it, she felt a violent churning in her stomach and a faint numbness in her limbs.
Her reactions slowed, and she narrowly avoided Grub’s claws, managing to dodge by rolling on the ground. However, this evasion caused Xia Chenge to crash hard into the wall, leaving her in a sorry state.
“Hehehe… Aren’t you very powerful?” Grub’s voice became hoarse and unpleasant.
“He’s poisonous!” Xia Chenge suppressed the churning in her stomach and said through gritted teeth to Ling Hanmu.
Ling Hanmu felt everything was normal and experienced no discomfort.
Meanwhile, Xia Chenge’s complexion grew paler. She had to forcibly activate her healing power to prevent herself from being affected.
However, fighting while simultaneously running her healing power was extremely draining for Xia Chenge!
If it weren’t for Ling Hanmu, Xia Chenge would likely have already been unable to hold on.
Damn Grub, was he a pathogen? But she couldn’t figure out what virus he had at all!
Grub’s appearance became gaunt, making him look terrifyingly ugly, like a dried husk.
However, his strength grew with each passing moment, and the pungent odor intensified.
“Whether I live or die, whether the infected are living or dead, they will rise and become my puppets, obeying my commands! Xia Chenge, Ling Hanmu, you shouldn’t have forced me. It’s you who turned this world into hell,” Grub said madly.
