The temporary end of the battle came more quickly than expected!
Although there were quite a number of infected beasts still around, without assistance from infected birds, it wasn’t too difficult for the players to deal with them. As the players on the platform focused their full-strength attacks on the monsters again, they were able to eliminate the last batch of monsters within 10 seconds!
Of course, they only managed to clear out the monsters. The scene on top of the platform was far worse than before! Many corpses of infected birds emanating a foul odor were scattered across the chairs and tables on the platform. The floor was covered with blood. There were also severed body parts of infected animals, with smashed brains and tattered intestines and organs splattered all over the place!
The environment on the platform was, without a doubt, a psychological obstacle. It was a test for the only female Doctor remaining on their team, Azure. However, at the moment, Azure paid no attention to the gruesome surroundings. She was anxiously injecting My World, who was seated on the ground, with a C-grade antidote!
My World looked like he was in bad shape. His eyes were becoming increasingly bloodshot while veins popped out from his neck! The Level-45 Fine-grade alloy shoulder pad on his arm also looked distorted. It was studded with canine bite marks while his wounds oozed black blood.
The Light Armor Warrior who had been pushed to the ground by a large infected beast was My World! And, unfortunately for him, the duration of the antivirus serum he exchanged earlier had elapsed, so after his armor had been bitten, he’d been infected by the T-virus. Worse still, it was a serious infection!
In the Biohazard Crisis storyline, though players could purchase the antivirus serum, that didn’t mean they could overlook the T-virus. There was a constraint, which was that after an infected monster’s attack caused bleeding, the antivirus serum’s duration would decrease. The rate of decrease would depend on the severity and the method of the attack!
The system’s explanation claimed that since the zombies and infected monsters’ attacks had excess T-virus, the transmitted virus would neutralize the T-virus antibodies inside the antivirus serum. Similarly, for a player without the antivirus serum, who had received continuous attacks from infected monsters, the spread and the rate of the infection would also increase substantially. My World was in exactly such a situation!
At that moment, a Scout who was receiving treatment from a Doctor from the team turned around and saw that the color of the antidote Azure was injecting into My World seemed to be wrong.
“Miss Azure, he has been infected. Why are you injecting normal antidotes? They’ll be ineffective!”
My World, who was seated on the ground, replied coldly, “Mind your own business!”
Azure asked anxiously on the internal party channel, “Big Brother My World, you used your points to help me purchase an antivirus serum when I was infected before. Do you lack points right now…?”
“Watermelon, Steel… What about you two? Do you have enough points?”
Normal antidotes were certainly ineffective in fighting against the T-virus. However, the C-grade antidote was her best potion at the moment, and it was also a reward she had received from an earlier mission. As such, she could only ask her two other teammates for help.
Watermelon Skin and Steel Fortress remained silent.
Their small party had normal equipment, and they were definitely average players. One might even say that they were slightly weaker than average. As such, though they were always involved in battle, they hadn’t managed to accumulate a lot of points!
My World gritted his teeth as he endured pain in every part of his body and stood up with the help of his alloy sword. “It’s okay. There are 15 minutes before the infection is complete. I’m short by only one point of getting the antivirus serum. Even a Normal-grade monster is enough. No biggie!”
However, all four of them knew it was only an excuse. All the monsters had already been frightened away by the Level-50 Octopus Commander, so where would he get that last point?
“Don’t tell me you guys don’t have enough points to exchange for it?!”

The Scout player from the northern cities wasn’t a great guy, but he was quite sharp. He somehow managed to ascertain the truth based on their expressions.
After that, the Scout player immediately shouted, “F*ck! If he doesn’t use the antivirus serum, judging by the look of him now, he might become infected, lose control, and start attacking everyone here!”
At the same time, he and the Doctor beside him moved backward a little.
After being infected by the T-virus, players could generally tell how long it would take until the infection was completed. But some players might lose control of their characters earlier than the stipulated time. Or if they received another attack from an infected monster, the amount of the T-virus would increase instantly, and the process would become complete instantly!
As such, after hearing the Scout’s words, the other players turned around and looked at them! The players on the platform grew calmer than when they had just found out about the Level-50 Octopus Commander’s crazy stats.
It was because right now, they were reminded of one thing, which was, by looking at the high HP of the monster, it was probable that the Level-50 Deep Sea Octopus Commander was just a high-HP, tank-type monster, and though its tentacles were very powerful, at 10 meters in length, they weren’t long enough to reach the platform; the platform was at least 30 meters away from the main building on the other side!
The Level-50 Octopus couldn’t fly, so it could only get to them like the other normal infected beasts: through the sky tunnel.
In that case, the players could use the time it took to move in the air to initiate their attacks. It wasn’t as if they had zero chance of victory! Earlier, they were simply stunned by the crazy amount of HP that the infected Octopus Commander possessed, and they hadn’t thought of this point. That was why, when the Octopus Commander didn’t immediately initiate an attack for some strange reason, the players on the platform simply took on a defensive stance.
However, the battle could begin at any moment. Someone was actually infected and didn’t have enough points to purchase an antivirus serum. This was definitely an underlying threat to the upcoming battle.
This was because after a player was infected, the player had a 100-percent chance to transform into an Elite-grade infected monster of the same level. By then, it would be extremely troublesome for them. It was as if their own backyard was on fire! That was why the Scout’s words attracted the attention of so many players.
At that moment, a hand wearing a Rare-grade Warrior’s glove—holding a screw-shaped metallic tube of potion—extended toward Azure and opened up.
“Azure, use this on My World!”
The color of the liquid inside the tube was dark green!
“Huh? The grade of this antivirus serum… It looks like it’s the highest grade, the type that lasts 24 hours!”
“Yeah! If I remember correctly, you need 50 points, and you need an authorization provided from killing an Elite-grade infected being to get that!”
“The Elite-grade monster authorization isn’t all that much. But sh*t! How can this guy have so many points? As a Fire Manipulator, even I haven’t been able to collect more than 30 points! He’s a Light Armor Warrior, and he’s exchanging stuff for his teammate. And it’s one that costs 50 points!”
“Light Armor Warrior?”
“One, two, three… We have three Light Armor Warriors? What the f*ck? If I remember correctly, wasn’t the guy who just died a Light Armor Warrior? Why are there three Light Armor Warriors?”
The players, who had temporarily exited the constant battles, suddenly discovered an odd problem!
