Reborn in the Apocalypse: From the Start, I Awakened the SSS-Rank Virus King

In my previous life, I became a super-infected and volunteered to be a lab rat at the Dragon Nation's top scientific research institute, doing my part to help humanity through the apocalypse. But when the apocalypse ended, those people stole the credit that should have been mine and even murdered me in cold blood! I thought I would never get another chance. But I unexpectedly returned to the day before the virus outbreak, carrying the hourglass from my previous life, and awakened the 【Virus King System】. 【Ding! Virus Source Physique detected. You meet the requirements for the Virus King System to take root.】 【Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have awakened Virus King System 1.0!】 【The Host can absorb or transmit viruses by touch.
