Virus Throne

Chapter 4. Human Nature

Xu Youran held Dongfang Bai's hand and walked out of the supermarket to the dilapidated street.

Feeling the dazzling sunlight, he let go of Dongfang Bai's hand, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "You shouldn't pretend that my girlfriend went with me. You should stay here, maybe you can live longer."

"What idiot? You have a big shield and said you would protect me." Dongfang Bai said with a naughty smile.

"Thank you!" Xu Youran looked at the street that looked like a ghost town under the clear sky and broad daylight, and his tone was extremely sincere.

"You saved me several times, and I didn't say thank you. Don't think about it, what should I do next?"

"Actually, just now I... just now I wanted to kill those people..." Xu Youran seemed to be calmer. He tried his best to control his emotions at the beginning.

"You Ran. I tell you very seriously, don't get carried away just because we have some power. Easily disregarding the life and death of others is a very dangerous signal, and sooner or later we will be doomed."

"I know this, so I held back, and I still respect the rule of law."

"It's not the rule of law, it's the bottom line, it's human nature! It's our bottom line as human beings! If we kill everyone we don't like, then what's the difference between us and those mutant beasts?"

Xu Youran suddenly realized, yes, did you get a little power and become arrogant? Do you think you are superior to all living beings?

"Dongfang, thank you for your reminder, I almost lost myself in the power I suddenly gained." Xu Youran turned around and looked at Dongfang Bai very seriously. This girl is really kind and kind.

It's not just her appearance that is beautiful, but also her kind and sincere heart.

Dongfang Bai's face was a little red when he looked at her, and the face made of sweat, mud and blood was like a beautiful painting.

She smoothed her hair and smiled, "Okay, it's time for us to go, my MT!"

"Okay, let's go all the way to the main city to see. For the tribe! For the goddess!" For a moment, Xu Youran swept away the gloomy mood and was full of heroic spirit.

The two of them walked north along the main road into the city, preparing to find as many lone mutant beasts as possible along the way to practice awakening skills.

Xu Youran condensed a black iron shield and guarded Dongfang Bai vigilantly. When they encountered small mice and wild cats, they could easily kill them with their awakening skills.

The university town was built in the suburbs of Nanjiang City, more than 30 kilometers away from the city. The two walked and found some mutant beasts along the way to practice, so they didn't walk fast.

At this time, a wild cat suddenly jumped out from the alley on the side and pounced on Dongfang Bai. Xu Youran swung the big shield in his left hand diagonally upwards.

With a "bang", the wild cat was about the same size as a big dog, but it was still knocked out.

Dongfang Bai waved an air grenade, and the wild cat that was blown up in mid-air screamed "Ah Ao". Before the wild cat fell to the ground, a row of ground spikes "Shua Shua" ejected and pierced the wild cat into a skewer.

The two smiled at each other, and their cooperation became more and more tacit.

As they continued to test, they found that their physical fitness improved a lot after awakening the magic skills.

Although Xu Youran was 1.8 meters tall, he was always weak due to illness.

Now he felt that he seemed to be full of strength. Although he might not be as strong as Dongfang Bai who practiced martial arts for many years, he should be much stronger than ordinary people.

Now he has two awakening skills, the black big shield and ground spikes.

Dongfang Bai's strength has not been greatly improved, but his skin has become stronger and stronger, and his hands are as sharp as two swords.

She only felt one awakening skill, which is the air grenade.

In terms of applicability, air grenades are more widely used and can be used wherever there is air, but their lethality is obviously not as good as ground spikes.

The mouse bomb is basically a one-hit kill, but when it comes to a wild cat, it can only cause relatively serious damage, lacking the fatal blow of Xu Youran's ground spikes.

If Xu Youran's ground spikes can be used indoors without soil, it must be a killer, but now it can only be used outdoors.

The two exchanged their experiences and couldn't help but have some daydreams.

Since they can awaken, there must be others who can also awaken. Are the magical skills awakened by everyone different? They are eager to know the answer.

At this time, Xu Youran felt very sorry. Although I have the potential to become a god, why doesn't my system have an instruction manual?

How can I further gain more powerful power?

In this world where mutant beasts are running around the streets, there is no strong power to guarantee. Let alone finding my father, it is a problem whether I can survive.

In order to find more mutant beasts to hone their actual combat skills and better protect their lives in the future.

The two came to the top floor of a high-rise building with more than ten floors. It is more convenient to find the target under a panoramic view.

In terms of senses, Dongfang Bai has strengthened more. Suddenly, she found that on the road in the direction of the main city, there were actually a few small black dots moving quickly towards this side, followed by more small black dots.

As the distance got closer, Dongfang Bai finally saw clearly that the black dots in front were humans wearing combat uniforms, and the dozen or so black dots behind were wild dogs the size of calves.

The black dots in front seemed to have guns in their hands, and they were shooting while running away.

However, the power of the guns did not seem to be very great, and the wild dogs behind were often only injured, which aroused the bloodiness of the wild dogs and made them chase madly.

Instantly, gunfire rang out. Dog barking, wailing, shouting, and human cursing filled the air.

The mutant beasts in the surrounding area heard the noise and not only were not afraid, but also gathered here. Various mutant cats and mutant mice ran towards this side in groups.

The two did not dare to go down easily. They had never encountered the mutant wild dogs below, and they did not know how strong they were.

Moreover, they had never seen the yellow-green combat uniforms worn by the people in front.

As the distance got closer, they could see more clearly.

Among the mutant wild dogs chasing behind, three were particularly tall, with ferocious faces and long canine teeth.

Their eyes seemed to be blood red, and they felt that they had broken away from the morphological restrictions of a dog. This was obviously not just a simple mutation.

Xu Youran looked at the strange dog-like creatures and murmured, "Is this the time of evolution, and they are overdoing it?"

Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes at him unhappily, "Where did the guns come from? They seem to be military firearms."

As the people below were running wildly, someone shouted, "There's a supermarket over there, go there, go there!"

Several people turned and rushed to the supermarket, and the wild dogs continued to chase them madly, and more wild cats and mice also chased them.

These mutant beasts mixed together, and they would not coexist peacefully. While chasing wildly, they bit each other.

As they chased and chased, two wild cats pounced on a mouse and began to dismember it, but a wild dog chased a wild cat in another direction.

Looking at their direction, the two looked at each other. If these mutant beasts rushed into the supermarket, even if Ma Junsheng and his men had guns, many people would die, and their guns were obviously not enough.

Dongfang Bai asked tentatively, "Are you going?"

Xu Youran was struggling and tangled in her heart at this time. After a moment of hesitation, she gritted her teeth and said, "Human lives are at stake, let's go!"

Dongfang Bai gave him a thumbs up, and without saying much, he turned over and jumped down directly. Xu Youran followed her and turned over and jumped down.

The two did not take the stairs, but jumped directly from the outer wall of the building. During the landing, they randomly found a fulcrum to borrow strength, and landed smoothly on the ground after more than ten seconds.

While running towards the supermarket, Xu Youran said, "My ground spikes may not be useful in the supermarket. It's best to lure out all the mutant beasts and kill them."

"Okay, I'll find a way."

The two chased at full speed for a distance of two or three kilometers, and rushed to the supermarket in less than three minutes.

Some mutant beasts chased here, and the two rushed into the supermarket while fighting with wild cats and mice.

At this time, the supermarket was already in chaos. The few people who escaped in front wanted to use the complex terrain of the supermarket to get rid of the wild dogs.

But I never thought that there were more than a hundred people in the supermarket, and some of them were holding guns.

People in the supermarket were also shooting, some were shooting at the wild dogs chasing them, and some were shooting at the people wearing yellow and green combat uniforms in panic.

Some wild dogs were shot, but they could not be killed. They rushed into the crowd with blood all over their bodies and bit them.

The wild cats and mice chasing behind saw so many people to eat, so they stopped biting each other and rushed up one after another.

In the supermarket, blood and flesh flew everywhere, fire flashed, the mutant beasts wailed when they were shot, and the people who were bitten screamed. More than a dozen people died in a short moment, and the second floor of the supermarket was like purgatory.

Several younger brothers protected Ma Junsheng and huddled in a corner of the supermarket. They pushed down the shelves to block the mutant beasts. Ma Junsheng grabbed Xu Xin's neck and blocked Xu Xin in front of him.

There was a puddle of water under Xu Xin's feet, as if she was scared to pee. I don't know if she is still feeling lucky that she has embraced such a thigh like Master Ma.

Seeing more and more people dying here, Ma Junsheng was so scared that his legs were shaking.

He held a gun in his hand but never fired a bullet, and his hands were shaking as if he had cramps.

At this time, a wild dog looking for prey at the stairs suddenly "wowed" and was knocked away by a large black shield.

With a loud "bang", a ball of blood inexplicably exploded from the belly of the wild dog.

Two figures jumped up from the first floor, they were Xu Youran and Dongfang Bai.

Xu Youran swept the big shield and instantly knocked away several mutant beasts crowded at the stairs.

Dongfang Bai waved his hands, and air grenades that were invisible to the naked eye blew the mutant beasts into a bloody mess.

A large open space was cleared at the stairs, and the two of them blew up the scene as soon as they arrived.

The group of people who were desperately resisting the mutant beasts were stunned when they saw that it was these two people who came up to blow up the scene.

Damn, who drove these two gods away? Do these two gods know martial arts?

But no one thought about why the two men returned to the supermarket to save them.

The two of them didn't care what these people were thinking. They looked around and saw that the main force hurting people was still the wild dogs as big as calves.

The three wild dogs that had evolved too fiercely seemed to be only interested in the people in combat uniforms, and they kept biting them.

The military firearms of those people could still cause some damage to ordinary wild dogs, but they were not fatal.

The bullets did not even cause wounds to the three leading wild dogs. At most, the impact force knocked the three wild dogs away.

Seeing the tragic scene in front of them, blood was flowing all over the ground, there were dead people and broken limbs everywhere, the bloody smell was pungent, and many mutant beasts were frantically dismembering the bodies.

Xu Youran was furious, and without saying anything, he raised his shield and smashed the mutants crazily. He secretly hated that the supermarket had a cement floor. He didn't know if cement floor was considered soil. He wanted to try the ground spikes, but he couldn't get his hands free for a while.

Dongfang Bai almost vomited when she saw this scene. She had killed many mutants, but it was the first time she saw such a bloody scene.

She resisted the nausea and raised her hand to blast out air grenades.

"Bang, bang, bang" a burst of dense explosions sounded, and the smaller mutants were directly blown to pieces, and the larger ones were blown away.

"Those three big guys!" Xu Youran shouted hurriedly. He meant to let Dongfang Bai blow up those big guys to attract firepower.

Dongfang Bai immediately understood his intention and raised his hand to blast a few air grenades into the abdomen of the three large wild dogs.

The three large wild dogs were stimulated and immediately shifted their sights and rushed directly to the two.

Two of the men in combat uniforms had died, and the rest were using their few bullets to shoot at a few wild dogs.

One man's submachine gun chased a large wild dog and swept over, but missed the wild dog. Dongfang Bai was in that direction.

Xu Youran was quick and swift, and the big shield spikes "poofed" into the concrete ground, blocking Dongfang Bai.

"Ding, ding, ding" a few crisp sounds, the bullets hit the shield and bounced out.

"Fuck, it can block submachine guns." Xu Youran shouted excitedly.

He swung his right hand naturally without thinking.

"Shua, shua, shua" a row of concrete spikes shot out from the ground quickly, piercing a large wild dog that pounced on him into a skewer.

"Cement works too!" This time it was Dongfang Bai who shouted excitedly, and raised his hand to blast out several more air grenades.

Only then did Xu Youran react, cement is also considered soil? Concrete spikes should be harder and sharper than ground spikes.

That large wild dog was fine after being hit by a submachine gun, but I killed it. My concrete spikes are more powerful than submachine guns.

With these weapons in hand, the two of them almost swept the whole place.

Use air grenades for small mutant beasts, and use concrete spikes for large mutant beasts.

It is not convenient to explode grenades in crowded places, so Xu Youran uses concrete spikes to kill them one by one.

With the addition of the two, the situation on the second floor of the supermarket was quickly stabilized. Several people holding military firearms quickly organized everyone to carry out effective resistance.

Ma Junsheng and Xu Xin, who were shivering in the corner, were stunned when they saw the two of them like gods descending from the sky, killing the mutant beasts and horses.

These people now understand that these two were not driven away at all, but they disdained to associate with ordinary people like them.

Ma Junsheng thought he was so awesome for driving Xu Youran away, but now he realized that he was an idiot. If the two hadn't come back to rescue them, maybe all these people would have died here.

Ten minutes later, everyone finally cleared all the mutant beasts of all sizes on the second floor.

After counting the situation, although the two came in time, more than 30 people died. It is unknown how many of the remaining people were bitten by mutant beasts and infected with the virus.

Several teachers and students who had followed Dongfang Bai all the way from the campus died in this mutant beast attack.

Teacher Wang Zhi survived, sitting in a pool of blood and shivering, mumbling something, as if he was too stimulated and went crazy.

Such a battle happened here, with corpses and mutant beast corpses everywhere, and this supermarket can no longer be used for refuge.

The two also learned some news from the people in combat uniforms.

It turned out that although many people died in the main urban area and it was in chaos, the government's army came out in time and barely maintained order.

They were hired by the government army to look for survivors. Now that they have found this group of survivors, they are going back to the main city, which is barely safe.

Moreover, the mercenaries said something very important. There seem to be many people like them who have awakened superpowers in the main city.

But they are too low-level and not in that circle, so they don’t know much. They just know that all kinds of awakening skills are very magical.

The two were very interested in this news. Anyway, they were going to the main city, so they just wanted to find out the details.

At that moment, the two said goodbye to the mercenaries and were about to go downstairs. The leader of the mercenaries was a little anxious: "You two, don’t you want to go with us? Let’s go together and take care of each other."

Xu Youran glanced at the survivors on the second floor and saw Ma Junsheng hiding in the corner and trembling, and Xu Xin who had wet his pants.

Frowning, he said impatiently: "That’s it, these wild dogs are dead, you should be safe on the road."

After that, he turned around and followed Dongfang Bai down the stairs.

At this moment, Xu Xin suddenly broke free from Ma Junsheng's hand like crazy, ran out and cried, "You Ran, save me. Take me with you!"

Ma Junsheng saw this scene, and the complex expression in his eyes turned cold. He stared at Xu Xin and Xu Youran's disappearing figure, his teeth clenched.

Xu Youran spat out one word in the darkness: "Get lost!"
