Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 101 Taken Hostage

Amidst the turmoil, several fighters had inadvertently ventured dangerously close to the adversary's lines. Ultimately, when the foes executed their self-destruction strategy, though these fighters pulled back, the visceral aftermath scattered far and wide-flesh and blood

flung across the battlefield. Tragically, some were caught in this ghastly spray, among them Kallum, who bore the brunt of it.

Ryder's expression darkened as he remarked, "Mr. Kallum, are you insinuating that..."

Just then, his communication device began to chime insistently. He swiftly attended to the call, and the voice of Quintus, tinged with panic, permeated the line from the other end.

"There's a dire situation, Ryder! A handful of us, about four or five, have started feeling terribly ill. Those individuals who attempted to thwart our efforts earlier, they're all carriers of the disease!"

Ryder was struck by an overwhelming sense of disbelief. What manner of illness could manifest so quickly and spread with such virulence?

A sudden flicker of dread pierced his thoughts. "K Virus!"

Kallum spat out yet another mouthful of blood. The phrase "K Virus" simultaneously flashed across his consciousness. For the first time in his existence, a profound sense of fear overtook him. Should it indeed be the K Virus, the likelihood that he might never again lay eyes on Calista was agonizingly high. That departure they had recently might well have been their final goodbye.

Ryder was dumbfounded by the severity of the situation. The contingent that had just departed numbered in the thousands-two thousand, to be precise. If all were to fall victim to this virus, merely to target Kallum, it spoke volumes of the enemy's mercilessness; it was almost demonic in nature.

What was more, the K Virus, known for being incurable, would not typically be unleashed unless there was an intent to decimate an entire nation to obliterate the very fabric of the world!

The virus, which first surfaced over two centuries ago, had claimed upward of a million lives since its emergence.

When the initial outbreak struck Turlen, the global community of virus research experts converged to try to manage the situation.

Despite their efforts, the virus proved unstoppable and incurably lethal, spreading swiftly and universally fatal within a month. During those despairing times, the grim recourse was to euthanize those afflicted. Their remains were incinerated in large numbers, their ashes buried deep underground.
