O que significa I'm killed telling her it's wrong. ?
A:
“I'm killed telling her it's wrong” does not sound natural. Is this a translation? Did you mean “I’m dead if I tell her it’s/she’s wrong” or “she’s going to kill me if I tell her it’s/she’s wrong”
It means they would be in big trouble if the pointed out her error. It’s a hyperbolic expression, meaning an extreme over exaggeration.
Can you use “I'm killed telling her it's wrong” in an example or explain where you heard it. As written it does not make much sense. Usually one would say “She’ll kill me if I tell her it’s wrong” or “it’s killing me not telling her it’s wrong” meaning I really want to tell her she is wrong.

Q:
It would be great to / it would be great if we could experience the nature in extreme climate such as desert, rainforest and polarity in virtual way. soa natural?
A:
"It would be great to experience" or "it would be great if we could experience". both work, but the second is better if you are talking about something that is not (yet) possible
Polarity has to do with whether something is positive or negative, I think you are talking about something polar.
"In a virtual way" is proper English, but "virtually" is shorter (it can also go earlier because it is important)
"The nature in extreme climate" is singular, but your list has multiple items
"The nature in" sounds a little wrong, "nature" would work, but deleting the entire phrase would also work
"it would be great if we could virtually experience extreme climates such as desert, rainforest, and polar tundra"
