I Bit Everyone and Became the Strongest Zombie Cultivator

"Yong Rui, what are you doing?" Liu Zhi mouthed as he saw me approach Wu Yan with a determined look on my face.

I hesitantly grabbed the notebook from Liu Zhi, writing a vague explanation about what I'd do next.

'I'll try to save Wu Yan. Can you and Blade hold the fort for me? Those rabid humans are almost at the door. And last time I checked, they aren't invited to the party.'

Liu Zhi stared at me, wide-eyed, before nudging towards Blade and nodding towards my direction. There was nothing they could do and I could tell that they weren't willing to leave Wu Yan behind. Because of their conviction and brotherhood, it was easy to convince them to defend me and Wu Yan while I try to do my magic.

Just like Shen Rong, their Red Sea Shelter Leader, I also have the Blood Element... although, I'm not that proficient when it comes to using it. However, this is the only way I could save Wu Yan from turning into one of the rabid humans I truly detest.

Unforgivable! They reduced a member of my party to this state?! Just you wait, you filthy rabid humans, I will eradicate you from this world sooner than later. And the ones who let you out to this world will pay tenfold as well, just take your sweet time waiting for me!

"System, once I give you the signal, transfer some of my energy in my Virus Qi Core towards my blood. I'll try to absorb all the virus in Wu Yan's blood." I commanded before cutting my palm and pressing it on Wu Yan's wound.

Upon seeing that, Liu Zhi and Blade stared at me open-mouthedly before screaming their lungs out.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Liu Zhi desperately shouted at me but because of the gas mask, I barely heard him. That's why I decided to ignore him as I focused on the task at hand.

Before Liu Zhi could go near me with his right arm outstretched, (probably to touch my shoulder and drag me away from my inevitable death), Blade touched him by the shoulders and shook his head. He then wrote something in his notebook.

'Let him, he's already too far gone into it which just proves he really wanted to save Wu Yan. Let's trust him and pray that he won't turn just like Wu Yan.' Blade continued.

I didn't know what ulterior motives Blade had but I could tell that he was taking my side on this one, probably due to the fact that he saw a few of my hidden abilities last night.

Yeah, I guess he just wanted to see what sort of miracle could be pulled off with what I'm doing. Honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm not that honest enough to tell them so.

Without further ado, I emptied my mind and focused solely on trying to detect the virus within my blood. Since I've been cultivating the Blood Element for a time now, I could now easily do it with ease. My control has significantly gotten better over my Virus Qi Core and my detection of the virus is just one of the fruits of my labor.

I didn't actually think that this would work but after a time, I managed to detect the blood on my palm as it flowed towards Wu Yan's bitten leg. Wu Yan could see that I was doing something weird but she didn't voice out anything since she could more or less tell that I was trying to save her. She probably thought that there's no use resisting since she's going to die anyway.

Of course, she was a bit surprised when I purposefully pressed my wounded palm on her bitten leg. She couldn't tell whether I was trying to commit suicide or not at first but upon seeing my strained face, she could tell that I was attempting to save her at the risk of my life.

Or that's what I'd like to think. According to her expressions, though, my assumptions might be right.

After at least two minutes of closing my eyes shut and trying to feel the wound that Wu Yan had, I detected the virus already existing in all parts of Wu Yan's body. It might look too far gone but it's only been two minutes so I knew that I should be able to work on it. Slowly, I tried to control the virus in her body using my Virus Qi Core. At first, the virus just continued spreading towards the body and for a moment, all hope was lost as I thought that my method wouldn't work at all.

But then again, I didn't know what method that Shen Rong uses in order to get the virus out of her system.

<Tir-ring!>

<Blood Element reached level 5!>

<Virus has been detected.>

<Beginning the purification process.>

Just like that, the System assisted me with her clutch save. For some reason, I could control my Virus Qi Core better and so I worked on absorbing the virus in Wu Yan's body. For the second time, I tried the method that didn't work before.

Alas! This time, it worked just like how I imagined it to be.

Slowly but surely, the virus in Wu Yan's body was attracted towards my wound. They were like swarms of bees who finally found a flower in a field.

"It's working!" I told myself as I flashed a thumbs up towards Wu Yan. "Everything's going to be all right." I mouthed off.

Wu Yan probably didn't know what I meant but with tears in her eyes, she nodded towards me and forced a smile on her face. I could tell that she was ready to say goodbye but I'm not allowing it. She's part of my Exp Farm after all.

Crack! Bam!

Before I knew it, the entrance of the building busted open, forcing Blade and Liu Zhi to take a step back as the horde pushed them back.
