“Elders, I understand your good intentions.
“But as a member of the Luo Ding Sect and also a disciple, no exception should be made.
“If the other senior brothers can go, why can’t I?!
“Besides, with my Mahayana cultivation, I’m not some golden branch or jade leaf that’ll shatter with a touch. ”
Qin Chuan spoke with conviction and then emitted the aura of Mahayana on his body.
The realms of the disciples in the underground palace were generally not high, and none of them were in the Mahayana Realm.
The elders’ expressions were grim, but they really did not dare to take this risk.
An elder said, “Xiaochuan! We know you’re very responsible.
“But if anything happens to you, we won’t know how to answer to Elder Lan.”
Qin Chuan said solemnly, “Elders, I know my brother’s character. If he were here, he definitely wouldn’t stop me.”
“This…” The elders were still hesitating.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan felt very helpless. Convincing these old fogeys was even harder than ascending to heaven.
He poked Dan Yangzi.
He was best at this kind of thing.
Dan Yangzi did not refuse. “Alright! Leave it to me.”
As soon as Dan Yangzi opened his mouth, all sorts of great principles and inspirational quotes came out easily. Those elders quickly could not take it anymore.
Before long, the elders relented.
Holding the access token, Qin Chuan arrived at the fifth level.
At this moment.
Many restrictions had been placed on those ten-man rooms with the zombie virus. Naturally, everyone inside was infected.
These people had completely lost their rationality. Like wild beasts that had gone berserk, they charged into the barriers that enveloped the rooms.
Qin Chuan came to one of the rooms. The people inside were grimacing in pain and covered in blood.
For some of them, half of their faces had been bitten off, revealing their bones and rotting flesh. They looked especially disgusting and terrifying.
Their eyes protruded, and their eyeballs were white as if they had cataracts.
Qin Chuan observed carefully for a while. Judging from their appearances and actions, they were probably zombies.
Seeing Qin Chuan in deep thought, Dan Yangzi realized that he must have discovered something.
He asked softly, “How is it? Is it the same as the ones you’ve seen?”
Qin Chuan nodded. “Most likely.”
“Is there a way to save them?”
“Not as far as I know.”
“Then what should we do?”
“What else can we do? We can only kill everyone we find. If we can’t control this, the planet will be finished.”
As they conversed, the barrier in the room in front of them flashed with a strong light, and the zombies inside were instantly reduced to nothingness.
At the same time, the same method was used in the other rooms to kill the zombies inside.
The disciples of the Luo Ding Sect tried their best to placate the emotions of the people on this level.
This job really tested one’s mentality. Sometimes, one would collapse before they have managed to console the people.
If they were asked to fight the zombies at the front line, they would definitely go without looking back.
“Elder, can you open the barrier? I would like to go in and take a closer look to see if there are any discoveries?” Qin Chuan asked the elder beside him.
The elder was put in a tough spot.
However, Qin Chuan insisted on entering. No matter how much he tried to persuade him, he couldn’t. There was nothing he could do. The elder could only open the barrier.
Qin Chuan had placed a restriction on himself to isolate the air in the room and prevent the risk of infection.
Dan Yangzi also walked in.
After the strong light, there were only ashes left in the room.
Although those zombies had been wiped out, there was still the smell of blood and rotting flesh left in the air.
Qin Chuan used the Aura Examination Technique to observe every corner carefully, not missing a single blind spot.
“Old Qin, what did you find?” asked Dan Yangzi.
Qin Chuan shook his head helplessly. After looking around, there was only dust. This was too clean.
At this moment, another commotion broke out on this level.
Hearing the commotion, Qin Chuan immediately rushed over.
He came to one of the rooms.
Three of the people inside had become zombies.
They were attacking the other people in the same room.
“Immortal master, save me! Save me!”
The few people shouted for help and anxiously slammed the barrier.
However, the elders and disciples outside were indifferent, their eyes filled with helplessness and unwillingness.
Of course, they wanted to save them, but the risk was too great.
The higher-ups had set a rule that anyone who was discovered would be killed. Anyone who had come into contact with them could not be spared either.
Qin Chuan said, “Elder, can you spare their lives for now?”
The elder frowned. “What are you doing?”
“I can’t explain it in a short period of time, but please believe me, Elder.” Qin Chuan’s expression was serious as he said firmly.
The elder pondered for a moment. “Alright, but I won’t give you much time.”
“Thank you, Elder!”
Qin Chuan immediately used the Aura Examination Technique on everyone in the room.
Then, he used his dharmic powers to condense a long rope and tied these people tightly like mummies to prevent them from breaking free.
Once everything was ready, Qin Chuan began his research.
“I want to see what exactly is causing this.”
Qin Chuan was very confident in himself and believed that he would definitely be able to find something.
Dan Yangzi understood what Qin Chuan wanted to do.
However, the elders in the sect had researched for so long but failed to find anything. Can he do it?
Qin Chuan entered the barrier, followed by Dan Yangzi.
Qin Chuan came to one of the zombies.
Although this zombie could not move, it kept howling. Its viscous saliva hung in strips by its mouth, looking especially disgusting.
“Divine Art · Quantum True Eye!”
He exchanged this divine art from the system a few minutes ago.
Not only were the main body and clone connected, but their cultivation techniques, spells, and divine arts were also connected.
As he was unable to discover the so-called “zombie virus” using his current methods, Qin Chuan asked his main body to ask the system if there was a way.
The system recommended this divine art.
The Quantum True Eye could see the microscopic world and capture the smallest particle in the world.
It was well known that all matter in the world was made up of atoms, and atoms were made up of electrons, protons, and neutrons. These were all particle types.
After the Quantum True Eye was activated, the world in Qin Chuan’s eyes changed drastically.
The world in his eyes was formed from small dots, like a reality version of Minecraft.
By the side, Dan Yangzi realized that something was wrong with Qin Chuan, but he didn’t probe further.
Soon, Qin Chuan made a discovery.
There was a thread-like object in some of the cells of this zombie.
This thread-like object was surprisingly small, even smaller than ordinary particles.
That was understandable. Those elders had been researching for a long time but had yet to discover anything.
Qin Chuan carefully extracted the thread-like object and injected more dharmic powers into it.
The thread-like object immediately became clear.
It turned out that this thread-like object was a living creature. It was light green in color and looked like a thousand-legged insect. It had tens of thousands of furry calves on its body, and its head was like an earthworm, but it had two feelers.
“So this is the so-called zombie virus!
“I didn’t expect it to be so small. No wonder the elders couldn’t discover it. ”
A long-lost smile appeared on Qin Chuan’s face.
When Dan Yangzi saw this, he immediately went forward and asked, “Found it?”
Qin Chuan nodded solemnly.
He extracted many “zombie viruses” from the zombie in front of him and sealed them into test tubes containing carbide liquid.
