Chapter 169  Spreading Virus

Hearing Kris' voice, Alex dismissed all the screens in front of him and looked at the clock on the wall.

When Alex saw the time, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Huh, I didn't notice that so much time has already passed."

From the time Kris started cooking up to now, 30 minutes has already gone by.

Since all his attention was on his status screen earlier, Alex didn't feel the time passing by.

Alex stood up and started walking in the direction where Kris' voice came from.

At the kitchen, Alex saw the table was already filled with various foods while Kris was preparing the table.

After putting down the last glass, Kris raised her head and looked at Alex with a smile.

"What do you think?"

Obviously, Kris is asking Alex about his thoughts on the food prepared on the table.

Glancing at the appetizing dishes, Alex smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"It looks really good." Chuckling, he said, "I didn't expect that you still have cooking skills, Kris."

Kris laughed softly at his comment and gently shook her head.

After that, Kris told Alex to sit down and they both started eating.

When Alex tasted the food cooked by Kris, his eyes showed clear surprise!

The food cooked by Kris doesn't just look good, they also taste good!

With gusto, Alex finished everything that was on the table.

On the other hand, Kris watched as Alex devoured all the food she cooked with joy.

After eating the last piece of meat on his plate, Alex leaned back on his seat and let out a satisfied breath.

"Ahh~ It's been a while since I ate until I'm full like this."

"I'm glad that you liked it. You're the first person I cooked for beside myself after all."

With a smile on her face, Kris started cleaning the table by putting all the dirty dishes on the sink.

Seeing that, Alex was not so thick-skinned to just sit there while Kris did everything.

He hurriedly stood up and said, "Let me clean this. You already cooked for me. It's too much if I even let you do all this."

"Go and sit down for a while. Leave this to me."

Alex pushed Kris away and sat her down on the chair before he started cleaning.

Knowing Alex's stubborn personality, Kris could only smile helplessly and watch as Alex did everything.

It didn't take long, Alex cleaned the whole kitchen, making it spotless in all corners.

Looking at his 'masterpiece', Alex smiled with satisfaction.

With a wry smile, Kris said, "You didn't have to clean the whole kitchen. Washing the dishes was already enough."

However, Alex didn't care about her words and ignored her.

Next, Alex looked at the time and saw that it's already 8:30PM.

"Oh, it's already this late. Kris, I should get going now. It's inappropriate for me to stay here at this hour."

Kris knew that what Alex said was true, so she nodded and said, "Okay, let me walk you out."

Alex and Kris walked out of the kitchen and went to the elevator while chatting.

Stopping in front of the elevator, Alex faced Kris and said, "You don't have to accompany me downstairs. I will go out on my own and directly head home."

Kris nodded in understanding.

"Alright. Be careful on your way back."

Alex nodded.

Just in time, the door of the elevator opened and Alex went in.

Waving at Kris, the door gradually closed, leaving Alex alone in the elevator.

After about less than a minute, the elevator reached the ground floor and exited.

Alex casually walked out of the condominium and looked around outside.

Alex was looking for a taxi or any public transportation.

However, it seems like there aren't a lot of public vehicles that go around here at this time.

Sighing, Alex said, "Since I don't have a ride, should I just go for a run?"

Alex thought it wasn't a bad idea and decided to do as he thought.

The next moment, Alex's figure suddenly disappeared.

Using his [Hide] skill, Alex lowered his presence to the lowest, making the people around not notice him.

With this, Alex is free to do anything without having to worry about others seeing him.

So, with a smile on his face, Alex run freely on the streets on his way to his house.

…

While Alex is on the road, in the sewer under Pearl City, something dangerous is brewing.

At this time, one of the rats who was lingering around the corpse of Corruptor from yesterday appeared here.

Squeak!

Compared to other rats, this one has much darker color eyes and pieces of its flesh seem to be rotting.

From what can be seen, it's more reasonable to call this rat a zombie!

Beside that, the behavior of this rat also appears unusual.

While it's walking around without a goal, the zombie rat saw a rat that was eating some trash on the side.

Suddenly, its deep black eyes glowed with fierce red light.

SQUEAK!!

Like a beast, the zombie rat rushed towards the other rat and pounced at it!

The other rat didn't even have the chance to react and the next moment…

Puchi!

The zombie rat bit the other rat like a hungry beast!

Blood burst out from the rat's neck and it started screaming frantically, trying to break free from the zombie rat.

Squeak! Squeak!

But it was to no avail.

The zombie rat's strength is greater than an ordinary rat.

It continued biting the rat until finally, it stopped moving.

Only then did the zombie rat let it go.

Then, like nothing happened, the zombie rat continued wandering with blood of its own kind all over its mouth.

When the zombie rat finally disappeared from the scene, the 'dead' rat suddenly opened its eyes!

With the same fierce light as the zombie rat, it got up and let out a sound.

Squeak!!

…

At the same time this is all happening.

In an underground laboratory of the City Protection Squad, a discovery that alerted everyone was found.

Luke, a scientist in this laboratory, is currently running with an anxious look on his face.

Haa… haa… haa…

Panting, he stopped in front of an office and hurriedly knocked on the door.

Tok! tok! tok!

A voice then sounded from inside the room.

"Come in."

Without delay, Luke went in and saw a man sitting behind the table.

That man is Glen Raven, the leader of the City Protection Squad.

Glen looked at Luke and saw the anxious look on his face.

"Oh, Luke, what's the matter?"

Trying to catch his breath for a second, Luke anxiously said,

"Boss, there's a problem!"

Luke then explained to Glen what made him so anxious.

The next second, Glen's pupils dilated and he stood up from his seat.

"What?! The Corruptor has a contagious virus in its corpse?!"

From what Luke told Glen, he learned that the corpse of the Corruptor that he took back to the laboratory yesterday actually has a dangerous virus in it.

As an expert, Glen knows just how dangerous of a situation this is.

A virus that came from a monster from Alter Dimension, they could only guess what potential damage this could do to the society!

Then the next moment, Glen's face changed.

He looked at Luke and ordered, "Luke, immediately tell everyone to come here."

Seeing the look on Glen's face, Luke immediately nodded and left the office.

Alone, a deep frown can be seen on Glen's face.

"Investigation needs to be conducted to see if there's a possibility that the virus has somehow already been going around outside."

Rubbing his forehead, Glen muttered, "Tsk, I hope this doesn't become a big problem."

Shaking his head, Glen said, "Anyway, I need to contact Alex. Since he's the person who got in contact with the Corruptor, I should start the investigation with him.

Taking out his phone, Glen tried calling Alex but it didn't even ring.

Glen tried a couple more times but the result was still the same.

In the end, Glen can only give up.

Since he can't contact Alex, Glen changed his target.

Dialing on his phone, soon it started ringing.

After a few seconds,

Clicked!

"Hello, Uncle?"

…

Alex enjoyed the night breeze brushing past his face and a smile can't help but form on his lips.

It's been a while since he was able to let go like this and not worry about anything.

So, Alex didn't directly go home and ran a few rounds all over Pearl City.

With his speed, it wasn't a problem to do all this.

Finally, after he grew tired of it, Alex headed back home.

"Hoo, that was fun!"

Alex said with a face full of excitement as he entered his house.

Alex immediately sat down on the sofa and let out a sigh in comfort.

"Ahh~"

For a few minutes, Alex remained still on the sofa, with his eyes closed.

Then suddenly, a notification caused him to open his eyes.
