All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 60 What is the Fourth Calamity?

"Um, this doesn't count as taking a bullet for me, does it?" Chu Xiu said, wiping away cold sweat.

Li Jing's methods truly terrified him, mainly because they were ruthless; he actually used a biohazard-like approach to overwhelm him with firepower, attempting to eliminate him.

But here's the problem: no matter how powerful mosquitoes are, they don't bite people who can't see!
Furthermore, even if Chu Xiu appears, he will not be affected.

His four dimensions have long exceeded the limit that this world can withstand. The toxins native to this world have almost no chance of working. Even a king cobra or something similar could not kill him!
Bacteria, viruses, and parasites cannot multiply in his body.

Super immunity is no joke!

However, he was the only one with the "True Marquis Wu" attribute; other players didn't have it, so Guo Liang tragically died!

"I don't blame you, and this has nothing to do with you."

Lü Shengnan shook her head.

She wasn't the type of woman to take her anger out on others easily, but she felt that this whole thing had happened so suddenly, and no matter how she thought about it, she felt that her younger brother was really unlucky!
He could easily have easily secured a top-three position.

As long as Chu Xiu doesn't make a move, even Wang Yuanjing can't do anything to Guo Liang.

It's uncertain whether her older sister, even at full power, can handle Guo Liang once he's become a force to be reckoned with.

Unexpectedly, an accidental injury led to Guo Liang's death!
"This was so unexpected! If I hadn't set up the Star Lanterns to extend my life beforehand, two of the later Three Kingdoms overlords would have been wiped out in one fell swoop!"

Sun Quan was finished.

Cao Cao was also resurrected after being defeated.

Only Liu Bei remained steadfast.

Although Liu Bei was not a top-tier warrior, his physical abilities were definitely among the best in the world. His arms were exceptionally gifted, capable of withstanding Lu Bu's halberd!

So he's fine.

Later generations joked online that if you locked the three of them in a room, Liu Bei could restore the Han Dynasty in no time. This is no joke.

"I need to return to Yizhou to take charge of the overall situation, so I'll take my leave now!"

Liu Bei finally came to his senses, picked up Guo Liang, who no longer recognized him, and together with his two sworn brothers, rode in a carriage back to Yizhou.

Throughout the journey, he constantly hoped that his fourth brother would regain his senses.

But the result was that Guo Liang rotted away day by day.

In the end, it became a skeleton.

"Fourth brother!"

But if Guo Liang's death only saddened him and made him unable to accept it emotionally, then what he saw and heard on the way back to Yizhou and after returning to Yizhou filled him with despair.

The outbreak of a biohazard crisis has an unparalleled level of infectivity.

Not to mention, the medium is a mosquito.

Therefore, the disaster was not limited to Chu Xiu's territory; the entire Central Plains suffered, and even more distant areas were not spared, with casualties being impossible to count.

All Liu Bei knew was that the world was now littered with bones.

Nine out of ten houses are empty.

Of the fifty million subjects of the Han dynasty, only a fraction died during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. But under this biohazard crisis, conservative estimates suggest that more than twenty million will die or be injured!

In addition, there are roaming zombies and various poisoned animals.

What was once the human world has become utterly hell.

Evil spirits are everywhere!

"Haha, gods? You're nothing but a bunch of demons crawling out of hell. Apart from my fourth brother, none of you are worthy to come to this mortal realm. You are not worthy!"

If he could access the internet, he would definitely have a completely new understanding of the "fourth natural disaster".

Regardless of the origin of that name.

Since ancient times, the Central Plains has been plagued by three major natural disasters: floods, wildfires, and earthquakes. As the saying goes, water and fire are merciless, and the power of the earth and heaven is unstoppable.

And now, the players have become the fourth natural disaster.

Human strength alone cannot withstand it.

"Second brother, third brother, if your eldest brother is willing to give up the country and everything else to avenge your fourth brother and the millions of Han people, would you two still be willing to follow me?"

Liu Bei asked. Guan Yu immediately replied, "Brother, are you going to settle scores with the gods of the mortal realm?"

"Yes, leave no one alive!" Liu Bei said through gritted teeth, "Send everyone away, including the sister who is with Lü Bu and is born of the same mother as my fourth brother—as a brother, I can send her away last for my fourth brother's sake, so that she can return to the mortal realm in good health. But the mortal realm belongs to the mortal realm, and no celestial being can be allowed to remain here!"

He shouted the last sentence.

Guo Liang's death was the trigger, but not the root cause.

The sight of countless bones, the deaths of millions of people, and the zombies roaming the land were the root of his anger.

So at this moment, he turned to the dark side, and he was about to launch a purge against the gods!

The "native backlash" that Chu Xiu had foreseen from the beginning has finally occurred!
"Brother, what lofty aspirations! Even if I am shattered to pieces, I will follow you!" Guan Yu said, "Not for our personal friendship, but for the greater good, there should be no gods among mortals!"

"Me too!" Zhang Fei said.

"Very good!" Liu Bei nodded and said, "Then spread the word that my fourth brother is dead, and there is no one in charge of the situation in Western Shu. I am waiting for the gods to come to my aid. I will hold a banquet for the gods in the palace and hope that all the gods can put aside their grudges for the time being and come to the banquet together!"

……

Meanwhile, in Ye City, the allied forces of the five kings scattered and collapsed without a fight.

After such a major incident as the Resident Evil crisis, both they and their soldiers were worried about the safety of their families and were eager to go back.

If zombies are not suppressed, they will pose too great a threat.

There is no time to lose.

"You are Lingqi's mentor, so we're practically family now. Thank you so much for saving my life. I can never repay your kindness. If you ever need me again, I'll do anything for you!"

Lu Bu said this before he left.

how so?

Because his wife and Diao Chan were also infected, but instead of turning into zombies, they were resurrected!
"But I can save them once or twice, but I can't save them forever. As long as the zombie mosquitoes are still around, they can still get infected. It's impossible to prevent them!"

Chu Xiu said with a troubled expression.

He is now invincible and can sweep across the Central Plains all by himself.

It could even sweep across the Earth.

But he was helpless against zombies. Even if he was resurrected, it would only be a temporary solution. He would still get infected after being resurrected, so it was only a temporary cure.

"This……"

Lu Bu looked at Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing.

However, by this time, both of them had almost lost all their hair, but it still didn't work.

"Individual prevention is not a problem; King Wei and your families are not in danger. But saving the common people is difficult; perhaps only the resurrected Great Teacher of the past could provide a solution!"

This made Chu Xiu's eyes narrow.

"The Great Teacher of Virtue?"

“Yes!” Hua Tuo said, “The Great Master’s talisman water has the miraculous power to turn decay into magic, and may be able to prevent large-scale outbreaks. But whether it can actually be done, the Great Master is dead, and I do not know.”

"Let me ask!"

As Chu Xiu spoke, his consciousness shifted, and he arrived at his "Southern Heavenly Temple" in "Heavenly Craft City".

Now, Zhang Jiao's daughter, Zhang Ning, has joined the religion and serves there.

He was one of the fortunate followers who dedicated himself to Chu Xiu.

However, when he connected with Zhang Ning, the feedback he received was that someone was looking for Chu Xiu. Not a native, but a player, and a female player at that.

Wearing a simple Taoist robe, dressed in plain clothes, yet possessing an ethereal, otherworldly air.

"Great God Chu, my name is Zhang Taiping, and I am the hidden profession 'Taiping Daoist'. I can help you solve the problem of 'corpse poison', but there is one condition!"

"What are the conditions?" Chu Xiu asked.

"If you ever establish a guild in the future, save a spot for me. I want to fight alongside you in sieges, dominate the Eastern District, and even unify the entire Blue Star!"

Chu Xiu: "..."
