Bai Ye retracted his gun into its holster, then wiped the blood from Ning Shuang.
The summons from the gods were not fair. Before Bai Ye became a chosen one, the world he belonged to was a peaceful one with strict laws and order. Lifting a girl's skirt on the street could land you in jail, let alone fighting and injuring someone, or even chopping off someone's head.
Therefore, in Bai Ye's memory, the death rate of chosen ones from his world had always been very high.
In comparison, chosen ones from cultivation worlds, superpower worlds, and fantasy worlds always held a significant advantage after entering the world battlefield. After all, these three types of worlds were largely in a state of constant conflict, and they were very familiar with the methods of fighting and killing.
However, they were not impossible to deal with.
From Bai Ye's understanding, people from cultivation worlds were mostly skilled in two things: sword techniques and Taoist techniques. Although there were many other miscellaneous things, they were merely variations of sword control becoming saber control, spear control, or differences in the Taoist arts used.
Therefore, the core of dealing with these guys was to prevent them from having time to condense their techniques.
Both sword control and Taoist talismans required condensation first. As long as they couldn't condense their techniques, even if the opponents were very skilled in fighting, they would be useless, like having their throats slit before they could even draw their swords from their scabbards.
Of course, the gacha machine was very important. If it weren't for the firearms and abilities provided by the gacha machine, even if Bai Ye knew how to deal with these guys, it would have been difficult to achieve.
Stepping over the corpses, Bai Ye walked towards the end of the corridor, quickly reached an elevator, and took it to leave.
Bai Ye felt he needed to pick up the pace.
Although he had easily dealt with a few, Bai Ye knew that chosen ones from cultivation worlds were still quite troublesome. The zombies on the outer perimeter should not be able to stop them, especially since Bai Ye learned from the conversation of the two that there were other Kunlun disciples within the base.
Taking the elevator to the third basement level, the core area of the Umbrella Corporation base began from here.
Before the elevator doors opened, Bai Ye pressed himself tightly against the side of the elevator, standing cautiously, holding his breath.
As expected, when the elevator doors opened, Bai Ye saw two zombies at the elevator entrance, and seven or eight more wandering further away.
The sound of the elevator opening immediately attracted the attention of those two zombies. However, because Bai Ye had pressed himself against the side of the elevator, the two zombies did not immediately discover Bai Ye's presence.
It was at this moment...
Bai Ye suddenly flashed out, Ning Shuang sword in hand, and forcefully stabbed it into the head of one zombie. He then leaped up and kicked the other zombie to the ground.
As the zombie whimpered and tried to get up from the ground, Bai Ye abruptly drew Ning Shuang and swung it with force.
As the first kill reward for a chosen one from the cultivation world, Ning Shuang was no ordinary sword, but a flying sword from the cultivation world!
The moment it left his hand, Ning Shuang turned into a silver light, hitting the second zombie squarely in the forehead, piercing a bloody hole. The zombie, which had just tried to get up from the ground, fell back to the ground.
Dark blood slowly spread across the ground.
After cleanly dispatching the two zombies, Bai Ye peeked into the corridor ahead, confirming that he hadn't alerted any other zombies. Then, he crouched down and quickly moved away from the side.
This was the experimental area of the Umbrella Corporation's underground base for virus research, and the original virus samples were stored here.
Compared to the previous area, this place was significantly more troublesome because the number of zombies had increased drastically.
These zombies were either wearing white lab coats, indicating they were researchers in the base, or security uniforms, meaning they were security personnel.
The entire area was laid out in a "田" (field) shape, separated by floor-to-ceiling glass, similar to the arrangement of desks in an office building. However, the Umbrella Corporation was wealthy, using individual glass cubicles for each workstation, thus forming this layout.
After moving cautiously along the perimeter for a while, Bai Ye quickly hid in a corner marked as a restroom, his expression showing a hint of difficulty.
The original virus was stored in a research sample storage room deeper within. He had to pass through this area, but after observing for a while, Bai Ye found he couldn't find any gaps to slip through. Given the current situation, it seemed the only way to get through this area was to fight his way through.
This was not an impossible task, but it was troublesome.
Bai Ye did not want to waste too much energy here. After all, it was only the second mission, and killing those zombies yielded no benefits. It was better to slip past if possible.
However, what should he do?
Perhaps he should create some commotion to attract those zombies, causing them to gather together, leaving other areas empty so he could rush through?
Bai Ye leaned against the wall, contemplating, when at that moment...
From within the restroom, a female zombie swayed and slowly walked out.
As if sensing Bai Ye's presence, the female zombie paused for a moment, then tilted its head and began to shuffle towards Bai Ye with unsteady steps.
Bai Ye was still thinking of a countermeasure when he suddenly felt the stench around him intensify. He couldn't help but turn his head.
The next instant, a gaping maw appeared before Bai Ye's eyes.
"Damn it!"
Bai Ye cursed instinctively, then reached out, grabbed the zombie's head, and forcefully twisted it.
The zombie's head twisted to the side, but soon...
*Crack, crack!*
The head rotated, turning back little by little, its eyes staring directly at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye felt like crying. The two simplest and most direct ways to deal with zombies were to pierce their heads or break their necks.
His consciousness reacted, but his body could not keep up with his consciousness.
Bai Ye's current strength was not enough to break the zombie's neck.
"Is this the legendary frail one?"
Seeing the zombie open its bloody maw again, intending to bite him, Bai Ye quickly bent down, braced himself on the ground with one hand, and rolled away to create distance from the zombie.
"Sword control!"
Before the zombie could turn, Bai Ye waved his hand.
The Ning Shuang sword, floating in the air, instantly turned into a silver light and swooped down. Just as the zombie was about to pounce on Bai Ye, it pierced into the zombie's head from above.
With a bang, the zombie fell forward, landing right in front of Bai Ye. After twitching a few times, it lost all movement and stopped struggling.
