When the hodgepodge world of anime meets the shadow king

At a certain open space at the foot of the mountain, the mutated Huo Zou Bing had turned into a cold corpse lying quietly on the snow. Dark purple blood continued to flow out from the two deep and fatal wounds on his chest, staining the white snow with a dirty color.

"Zou Bing! Zou Bing!" Yi shouted in pain while holding Huo Zou Bing's body. The other members of the hunting team who had just recovered from the battle and arrived late also gathered around with gloomy faces.

Liu Zhikang looked at Huo Zoubing, whom he had trained and promoted, with a gloomy face.

Kitahara Akira, Kato Megumi, and Yukinoshita Yukino stood outside and watched silently.

Just now, Huo Zou Bing, who had mutated into this form for some unknown reason, tried to attack Kitahara Akatsuki, but was stopped by Yukinoshita Yukino who came over after waking up and seeing the note left by Kitahara Akatsuki.

After the two sides fought for a while and confirmed that Huo Zou Bing was hopeless, Liu Zhikang took over the fight and killed the opponent with his own hands.

Kitahara Akira pulled up Yukinoshita Yukino's cold white right hand and frowned at the three purple-black scratches on the back of her hand caused by Huo Zou Bing.

"It's okay," Yukinoshita Yukino said a little embarrassedly, feeling the warmth coming from her palm.

Kitahara Akira's hands are so big that they can almost wrap around her hands with just a squeeze

"Let's ask Yuigahama to treat him later," Kitahara Akira advised, "I think he might have some problems."

Looking at the mutated form of the cholera and the wrong color of the wound, it is hard to doubt whether it is poisonous or something.

"Alas," C, who had been silent all this time, suddenly sighed, "There is indeed a problem..."

Everyone turned their attention to him

Seeing this, C told him that he had discovered that C had secretly hidden the virus and used it on himself.

"You've always known this!" A rushed to C and grabbed his collar in anger. "Why didn't you say it out?!"

"Say it out? Ha..." C sneered, "Say it out, then what? Are you going to talk your way out of it? He didn't want to live any longer."

He looked at Yi coldly and said, "Jin Ge, you have been a member for the shortest time and you don't understand our pain at all."

"Not everyone can be as carefree as you, laughing all day long."

"You!" B was furious

"That's enough." Liu Zhikang separated the two people who were about to fight. "What's the point of you arguing about this now?"

"......." The two clenched their fists and suppressed their anger.

Beiyuan Xiao walked to Huo Zoubing's body, squatted down and looked at it carefully.

Huo Zou Bing's ability includes controlling viruses. Coupled with his own B-level strength, what virus could infect him in turn?

He took some samples and sent them to Gray Wind for testing.

.............................................................

One day later, on the Hulunbuir grassland

"Biochemical weapons?" Kitahara Xiaogang, who was riding a horse, received this news when he answered the call from Huifeng.

"That's right!" Gray Wind on the virtual screen waved his hand, and a lot of complicated data appeared.

"At first I thought it was some unknown virus like you, but after examining it at a microscopic level I found something wrong."

She presented two sets of complex data

"The first group is an unknown virus that I accidentally discovered some time ago. Since the symptoms after infection are the same as those of a cold, I didn't pay much attention to it."

"The second set is the data obtained from the sample you sent."

Kitahara Xiao discovered that the two sets of data overlapped, and a chill suddenly surged into his heart.

“Is it evolving?”

"That's right," Huifeng nodded and acknowledged Kitahara Xiao's guess.

"The speed of his evolution is too incredible. It doesn't seem like it can be achieved by natural evolution at all."

"After repeated confirmation, I found this to be a man-made biological attack!"

"It is not a virus, but a special life form with a hive mind. Its only function is to affect microorganisms."

"Affecting microorganisms?" Kato Megumi and Yukinoshita Yukino heard Huifeng say this as they rode their horses closer.

Gray Wind thought about it, "When you want to eat, is it you who wants to eat, or is it your body that wants to eat?"

"…It should be my body. Why would I eat if I'm not hungry?" Kato Megumi replied

"That's the truth. Oftentimes, your thoughts actually come from your body's needs. It's not what your mind wants, but what the microbial flora in your body tells you they want." Huifeng began to popularize science

"The microbes carry out a series of activities, produce hormones, and your brain receives signals, which is the origin of various desires."

“You think your consciousness is controlling you, but in fact it is the microorganisms in your body that are controlling your consciousness”

“Many physiological conflicts are based on the needs of microorganisms and bacteria in the body, and the body’s condition is actually a response of the microbiome.”

"Your behavior also affects the microorganisms. You can suppress your basic desires and become unhealthy, so the relationship is equal. You may seem to be an individual, but in fact you are a complete ecosystem."

"And this biological weapon - I'll call it an alien virus. It controls the microorganisms in your body, which means it controls your basic desires, secretes several or dozens of times the hormones, and makes the organ you use to think produce a strong impulse - the brain."

"It has nothing to do with the mind and cannot control your thinking, but it can affect you on a physical level, guiding your thoughts with emotions such as desire, lust, appetite, sadness, etc., to achieve the effect of a drastic change in your temperament, and you may even think that this is your own thought, so when you are not sick, you are still your usual self, but once you are sick, you are like a completely different person."

"This is why so many countries have not detected the virus, because it does not exist in the first place. The so-called "virus" is a colony of microorganisms that are necessary for the survival of every organism!"

"And its initial infection symptoms are similar to those of a cold. Now is winter, and ordinary people won't notice anything unusual."

"The most important thing is..." Huifeng paused.

"The Alien Virus can infect any life form whose strength is less than C-level, whether it is a monster, a hero or an ordinary person."

"As for the unlucky guy to whom you provided the sample, I guess he got the 'node' that hadn't had time to evolve yet and then injected it directly into his body, causing a reaction with the original virus in that guy's body."

"How far has the mutant virus spread?" Kitahara Akira asked seriously.

This thing is much more serious than he thought, mainly because it is too hidden and difficult to eradicate.

If it is allowed to infect on a large scale, once it breaks out, the losses it will cause will be immeasurable!

Gray Wind was silent for a moment

"According to my calculations... the area it has passed through has covered 96% of the land area..."

"Isn't that the whole world?" Kitahara Akira complained loudly

He took a deep breath and turned to look at Yukinoshita Yukino and Kato Megumi beside him.

"Sorry, our trip may have to end early"
