"If the city where the first outbreak occurred was razed by a nuclear bomb, how could it later infect the entire world?"

It was Ning Chengyu who asked the question. He was sitting in the front row and was completely absorbed in the story Bard was telling.

Upon hearing the question, Bard sighed deeply:

"If the first outbreak was an accident caused by insufficient understanding of the virus, and could be considered a natural disaster, then the subsequent full-scale outbreak was a man-made disaster!"

"The first outbreak exposed the terrifying Eternal Virus to the world's attention, and the Eternal Virus project became the target of public criticism... All related institutions were shut down, and those involved were punished. The Eternal Virus was forever erased from the world."

"But this is only the information the general public receives!"

"In fact, all the researchers, as well as the infected who escaped from Black Thirteen, were secretly gathered together. The research on the Eternity Virus was completely taken underground."

"Moreover, this time, because of the large number of samples and data, the research progressed by leaps and bounds, and the evolution of the virus gradually became out of control, ultimately completely exceeding our control..."

At this point, Dr. Bard's eyes dimmed, and he let out a long sigh.

The blonde secretary, Catherine, adjusted her glasses: "Is it because of... the viral pathogen?"

Killing the original virus is the side quest for this mission, worth 1000 points!

As the team's strategist, Catherine naturally paid close attention!

"You've heard of the Prototype?" Dr. Bard asked, somewhat surprised, then fear flashed in his eyes. "Yes, it's a monster we created ourselves. It's the most terrifying, the ugliest monster I've ever seen. It was the one that caused the destruction of the world!"

"No... In the world today, zombies and mutated monsters far outnumber humans. These monsters all originated from it. At this moment, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the creator god of this new world!"

"A god? That's an exaggeration!" The bearded Kang Hai scoffed. "It's just a monster..."

"Perhaps it's not an exaggeration!" Catherine frowned slightly.

"In a world with a level 3 weapon restriction, a bounty of 1000 points, plus additional rewards, all for killing a single monster. This basically means that the virus itself is worth about 1000 points!"

Catherine spoke candidly about the mission, knowing that any mention of the altar would be altered and distorted by the altar if it reached the ears of non-reincarnated beings, so there was no need to avoid it.

She even deliberately raised her voice to warn everyone of the danger:

"A monster worth a thousand points is a being that would make many heroes tremble with fear! In the context of the sacrificial mission, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a god. This viral protozoa is probably an unprecedentedly dangerous enemy for us!"

"If necessary, we should consider abandoning side quests!"

The other reincarnators frowned upon hearing this, realizing the difficulty of the mission.

Only Young Master Ning sneered: "Just a monster with a score of one thousand. If this counts as a god..."

As he spoke, Ning Chengyu brandished the long sword in his hand:

"Then I will become a god-slayer!"

Although Young Master Ning's remarks were arrogant, they were not entirely unfounded.

Zhang Lang could tell that the longsword in this guy's hand and the trench coat he was wearing were no ordinary items. They were at least rare, and possibly even one-of-a-kind!

Moreover, the way this guy walks and the way he swung his knife earlier show that his physical abilities far exceed those of ordinary people, and he must have extraordinary attributes!

Needless to say, his skills and other equipment are also top-notch. With over thirty enhancements, this guy definitely has a lot more tricks up his sleeve.

However, Zhang Lang didn't care much about how capable he was. He simply crossed his arms over his chest, leaned his head against the back of the chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

The car continued on its way, encountering several more hordes of zombies along the way.

These hordes of zombies varied in size, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand or even tens of thousands, roaming the wilderness and roads in dense, overwhelming numbers, resembling migrating army ants from a distance.

Among these zombies, besides the Stage 2 zombies with four spider legs on their backs, you can occasionally see Stage 3 zombies!

Similar to what Zhang Lang had seen last time, it was over two meters tall, with a robust physique, a tail, and four arms. The two on its back were mutated and enlarged, and had a row of sharp spikes that could be fired, making it look like a pair of wings made of bone spikes...

According to Catherine's investigation, the monsters in Stage 3 are worth approximately 30 points.

For an ordinary altar, dealing with a few Stage 3 monsters, along with Stage 2 monsters and a large number of zombies, will take some effort.

However, the 241 altar was well-equipped and powerful, and it didn't take even the largest horde of corpses seriously.

Whenever they encountered monsters, Ning Chengyu was always the first to get off the vehicle and lead the charge. Relying on his treasured sword and the shield on his body, he was invincible as he fought his way into the horde of corpses!

As for the other reincarnators, those skilled in melee combat closely followed, while those skilled in ranged attacks provided cover fire. The entire team cooperated seamlessly and achieved extremely high cleanup efficiency.

Moreover, Zhang Lang noticed that these guys were ruthless when shooting ordinary zombies, but when facing the more valuable Stage 2 and Stage 3 zombies, if they were confident, they would try to cripple them rather than kill them, leaving the rest for Young Master Ning to collect.

Once Young Master Ning has killed enough monsters and reached the score limit, they will start killing monsters to earn more points.

With such a group of loyal servants protecting him, it's no wonder that Young Master Ning can score thousands of points in every mission.

While Ning Shao was racking up points, Zhang Lang was also busy. Every time he parked, he would send Xiao Mo down to help.

These monsters, which are worth at most a few dozen points, don't even require him to make a move. Xiao Mo has never even shown any fighting stance. He can basically reap a lot of points just by using the Sword of Victory and the Burner Flamethrower.

As the convoy entered Calicut, the density of zombies and monsters increased significantly. Soon, Zhang Lang reached the kill limit for both ordinary zombies and those in Phase Two.

They fought their way through, and the sky gradually darkened.

Around nine o'clock in the evening, the convoy arrived at an abandoned town.

"Let's rest here tonight!" Dr. Bard said, looking at the map. "This place is called Sweetwater, and it's more than 300 kilometers away from McKinsey. We'll set off tomorrow morning and should arrive at our destination by the afternoon."

The mission has a time limit of 72 hours. According to the reincarnator, it is best to get to the target location as soon as possible and obtain the virus sample and research materials.

But don't forget, the key figures in the mission, Dr. Bard, the research team, and the three drivers are all ordinary people. Even if the reincarnators can handle it, they can't.

Ning Chengyu readily agreed to Dr. Bard's request, and the convoy drove into the town.

Sweetwater Town is not large. As a small town only a few hundred kilometers away from the outbreak point, it was the first town to fall.

After several months of neglect, coupled with the rampant activities of the bio-monsters, the houses in the town were either collapsed or in ruins. Even those that remained intact were covered in dust and cobwebs, looking filthy and terrifying under the night sky, making people reluctant to go inside.

Strangely, there were no zombies or other monsters in sight; the entire town was deserted, as silent as a graveyard.

Dr. Bard explained that when the disaster first broke out, the surviving residents fled the town, and those who had turned into zombies also followed the commotion and left.

The town wasn't very big, with a permanent population of only a few thousand. It's understandable that it became a ghost town after everyone fled during the recent disaster. After all, for zombies, there's little difference between wandering in the wild or in a town; once they run away, there's no need for them to come back.

Finally, they drove to the town hall, a tall and sturdy building with a spacious interior. After some tidying up, it could accommodate so many people to rest together.

Facing the hall filled with dust and cobwebs, the elderly Black man, Garman, stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and the bracelet on his wrist shone with a blue light.

Then, a stream of air rose from beneath his feet, growing faster and larger until it swept across the entire room, creating a whirlwind!

However, this whirlwind seemed to possess a life of its own, merely stirring up dust and tearing apart spiderwebs, without even scraping a single hem of the clothing of those undergoing reincarnation within the arena. Ultimately, it swept up all the trash in the room and blew it out the door!

"A wind magic technique of considerable skill."

The virtual object in Zhang Lang's mind commented: "After all, cultivating an energy system isn't just about piling up and strengthening it; it also requires the accumulation of time. Among the sacrifices, very few can cultivate energy to this level. This old guy's first thousand-point reward was probably wind element energy, and he's also experienced quite a few worlds."

"To reach this level of cultivation, one's water attribute must be quite high, and they most likely possess special cultivation techniques; they're a master!"

Zhang Lang snorted, not caring about these trivial matters. He simply found a clean corner to sit down, leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes to rest.

The other reincarnators, drivers, and researchers also found places to tidy up and prepare for rest.

The reincarnators naturally took turns keeping watch at night and also set up sensor alarm devices to monitor any movement in the city hall.

On Zhang Lang's side, Xiao Mo, being a robot, didn't need to rest either, so she stood guard at the door.

At first, you could hear some chatter, some of it was the locals talking, some of it was the reincarnators discussing their next plans, and you could even hear Young Master Ning boasting, along with other reincarnators echoing and flattering him.

But as the night progressed, all that remained were the sounds of snoring.

Those who reincarnate are also human, especially the sacrifices, who generally only have single-digit enhancements, with even fewer blood enhancements that directly affect themselves.

Even with the addition of some attribute points at the end of each mission, in terms of pure physical attributes, most reincarnators do not have an overwhelming advantage over ordinary people.

They get tired too, and they need eight hours of sleep every day.

However, Zhang Lang doesn't need it.

Having undergone countless enhancements, he has acquired superhuman abilities. Even if he doesn't sleep for ten days or half a month, he won't feel tired. Even when he really needs to rest, just a few minutes of sleep will make him energetic and ready to fight again.

In fact, he hadn't experienced such physical exhaustion that he was able to fall into a deep sleep in a long time.

Even in the main world, he could get enough rest by simply closing his eyes and resting on his bed in the dormitory every night.

Although he appeared to be asleep, his keen senses detected every rustling sound and movement in the vicinity.

"Um?"

Zhang Lang, with his eyes closed, twitched his ears slightly.

The town, which should have been deserted, was filled with unusual noises.

A rustling sound, like the sound of insects crawling.

The sound originated from the northwest.

Zhang Lang opened his eyes and stood up, startling several reincarnators on night watch. They immediately drew their weapons, showing that they had not let their guard down despite the quiet.

Very professional and dedicated.

"What's the matter?" one of the burly, bald men with tattoos on his arms, holding a machine gun, asked warily.

Clearly, most of the reincarnators at Altar 241 were still not entirely at ease with Zhang Lang, this uninvited guest.

"Getting up in the middle of the night!"

Zhang Lang gave a perfunctory reply and walked out of the hall.

"Hey!" the bald, burly man suddenly called out to him.

"What is it?"

The bald, burly man glanced at the dark town outside and reminded him:

"Even though we haven't seen any monsters, be careful!"

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry!"

Although his attitude wasn't very friendly, he was a nice person.

Zhang Lang left Xiao Mo to guard the target of the mission, and followed the sound alone to the northwest.

The rustling sound grew louder and louder until finally, Zhang Lang arrived in front of a two-story building.

The sound is coming from here...in the basement!

The doors and windows of the house were secured with wooden boards and barbed wire. Clearly, the homeowner had made efforts to protect themselves from zombies.

Looking up, there was a large hole in the roof. It seemed that this place had finally fallen, and those who had taken refuge here were probably doomed...

Zhang Lang touched the ground with his toes, leaped into the air, and landed lightly on the roof. He looked down through the hole.

The furniture in the room was in disarray, there were scratches and large patches of blackened blood everywhere, and you could also see cleanly gnawed bones.

From the corner of the living room, you can see the basement door is open, and the sound is coming from inside.

Zhang Lang floated lightly into the dark basement of the Sunset House, his gaze sharp and penetrating the darkness to see what was inside...
