Chapter 1128: Zombie Virus

Chen Yu was somewhat surprised; this thing had been dead for decades, and it was clear that it had died after being infected by some kind of virus.

This virus was actually similar to the zombie virus in movies, though the survival time of this virus was quite long.

"Mr. Chen..." Zhang Ji looked behind Chen Yu, only to see those dozens of zombies that had already turned into skeletons slowly approaching.

Chen Yu pointed his right hand forward, and a strand of Sword Qi suddenly formed; the Sword Qi shot out, condensing into a ten-zhang Sword Light. The Sword Light surged into the zombie horde, followed by a 'Whoosh—' sound, and as the Six-Harmony Six-Vertical Sword Qi permeated the area, the group of zombies instantly turned to dust.

It was just that there was a rotting smell inside that lingered for a long time; after a good while, the group finally walked inside to look at the situation in the surroundings.

This was an independent laboratory; although the things inside were dilapidated, one could still tell from the experimental equipment how advanced these things were back then.

Furthermore, in the deepest part of the interior, they discovered a canister of liquid; despite having gone through several decades, the contents inside this sealed canister had not leaked in the slightest.

"Mr. Chen, is this the thing we were looking for?" Zhang Ji asked.

"Test the composition," Chen Yu said.

"Alright." Wang Yi took out some instruments, took a sample, and began testing.

Wang Yi was a university student who had joined the army and had been specially recruited upon enlistment, so he was quite proficient at checking these things.

Half an hour later, the test results were out.

Wang Yi said: "Mr. Chen, the virus inside is a biochemical pathogen, similar to the things in zombie movies; it can allow a person to maintain some activity even after death, and it attacks the living."

"It is not what we are looking for; seal up everything in this place first, and once we find it, we will destroy it all together," Chen Yu said.

"Yes." Wang Yi nodded and, together with Zhang Ji, sealed up everything here.

These viral bodies were all very special; if even a little leaked, it could cause unknown consequences. The reason this base had problems back then was likely due to a virus leak.

They walked through several more rooms in succession and, after comparing many aspects, finally found the virus sample that was the source of this virus.

The viruses were gathered together and destroyed with a fire; this type of virus was inherently afraid of high temperatures, and having passed through so many years, its activity was not strong. Amidst the raging flames, these viruses were burned clean.

After finishing all this, the sky was already bright. Just as Chen Yu was about to leave, a helicopter carrying several experts from the country rushed over in a hurry.

"How is the situation inside? Where are the virus samples?" a bald expert shouted at the group.

"They have all been destroyed," Zhang Ji replied.

"Destroyed? How were they destroyed? Who gave you the authority to let you destroy them? We still need to take these things back for research; by what right did you destroy them?" The bald man was anxious; they were from a certain biochemical research institute.

Having heard that there were wartime legacy viruses here, they had rushed over in a hurry, originally intending to rely on these viruses to swindle a sum of funding, but they had not expected that when they arrived, the viruses had already been burned clean. They became agitated on the spot.

"Do we need to report to you to destroy a virus?" Wang Yi looked at these people, feeling somewhat baffled: "Besides, there is more than one type of virus. As a university student who graduated in biology, I can responsibly tell you that this virus is anti-human, and no one should be researching it."

"What the hell do you know? Who is your person in charge? You must give me an explanation for this matter," the bald man shouted loudly from the side.

"I am the person in charge; if you have any issues, come at me," Chen Yu glanced at him.

This bald man was a typical example of certain domestic experts who only ate and did no work. Moreover, some of the expert titles in the country were too worthless, and from time to time, shocking remarks would pop out. This guy belonged to that type of expert.

With no real ability, they ran faster than anyone when it came to joining in the fun and pulling in funding; these people were even more repulsive than vermin.

"What qualifications do you have to destroy these things? Do you know that these things are very helpful to our research?" the bald man roared.

"What help? In your biochemical research field, there is nearly ten billion in research investment every year. If things left behind by Fusang nearly a century ago can still help you, then these research funds would be better spent on pigs," Chen Yu said coldly.

"You..." The bald man was choked by Chen Yu until he couldn't speak: "You must give me an explanation."

"What kind of explanation do you want?" Chen Yu asked: "I destroyed the things, so I destroyed them; what do you want to do about it?"

"What qualifications do you have?" the bald man raged: "We rushed over here just for this, but now you say that; you have to take responsibility."

"I take responsibility; I was the one who destroyed them," Chen Yu sneered: "I have seen plenty of you people who only know how to shrink back when trouble hits and run faster than anyone to grab credit. Get lost immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite."

"This is rebellion, it is simply rebellion; this matter is not over today, I..."

The bald man roared in a fit of rage, but before he could finish roaring, Chen Yu swung a slap at him.

*Slap*... The bald man, over fifty years old, was sent flying far away by Chen Yu's slap; he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and several teeth fell to the ground.

"Professor Liu, are you alright, Professor Liu?" The group behind him hurriedly supported him and then glared at Chen Yu: "You dare to make a move? Do you know who Professor Liu is?"

"I don't know who he is, but if he dares to say one more word that makes me unhappy, I will still slap him into submission," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"You..." The bald old man pointed at Chen Yu again, intending to spout a pile of reasons, but Chen Yu did not give him the chance and slapped him flying.

*Slap*... The old man fell to the ground, his vision went black, and he fainted. Chen Yu shook his hands, only then feeling that the world was much quieter. He glanced at the old man coldly and then left the place with his people.

In the time that followed, this place underwent comprehensive disinfection to ensure the virus was completely eradicated, and the villagers had already begun work on digging ponds and channels, waiting for the Mountain God to lead down the spring water from the mountain.

Chen Yu was not needed for the finishing work. Before leaving, he returned to the mine; the Spirit Stone produced in this place was not in small quantity, and with these Spirit Stones, Chen Yu's cultivation would inevitably speed up.

Declining Mr. Ming's request for him to stay, Chen Yu returned, but just as he crossed the border line, someone blocked Chen Yu.

Six Daoists were lined up in front of the border, and these six Daoists were each dressed in ink-colored Daoist robes and carried ancient swords on their backs, while in the surrounding ten-li radius, there was no one else besides a few people.
