179 Institute
Yang Dian and Ned were depressed, the exploration team they went to rescue was a member of the Lewis Institute, and the client was also the Lewis Institute, after Han Xiao left, the two rested for a while, cautiously groped, and finally found the target in the small valley where the exploration team disappeared.
However, all members of the exploration team were infected with the dead virus, underwent abnormal changes, and the bone spurs protruded all over the body, becoming a mad beast, and there was no help.
The leader of the exploration team barely managed to keep a trace of clarity, and handed a metal box to the two, saying that this was important material that could be used to find an antidote to the dead virus, and asked the two to bring it back to the research institute.
The two could only endure the pain of abandoning the hopeless exploration team, leaving the forbidden area with the box, encountering an accident on the way, being attacked by the beasts, in order to protect the metal box, they did not hesitate to protect the box with their bodies, and finally escaped luckily, covered with bruises, fortunately the box was intact.
Dragging their tired bodies, they flew back to Kanros, and Yang Dian and Ned came to the institute with a sense of guilt. The failure to save the exploration team made them haunted, and they were ready to be blamed by the research institute, feeling that they had betrayed the trust of the client.
A spectacled man dressed as a high-level official stepped out of the elevator and walked quickly towards Yang Dian and the two of them, with hope on his face.
"Two heroes, you're back." His tone was enthusiastic.
Ned was apologetic, "Mr. Lokette, I'm sorry, we didn't get the job done. β
The glasses man Lokette's face changed, "Could it be that they were all killed?" β
"I'm sorry, they have the virus and there's nothing we can do about it." Yang Dian didn't dare to look at Lokette's grief-stricken face.
"I don't blame you ......" Lokette took off his glasses and wiped his eyes, this gesture made Yang Dian and Ned very uncomfortable, Ned took out the metal box and said, "This is the relic that the exploration team asked us to hand over to you, and it is an important material that can solve the source of the dead virus!" β
Lokette took the metal box, stroked the box, and said in a sad tone, "Alas, it would be nice if they could come back too, it was their credit, and we will never forget, if the finished product is made, it must be named after them." β
The two of them thought so, their eyes were a little hot, and Yang Dian sighed: "They are heroes, and it will be the regret of my life not being able to save them." β
"To put it mildly, if it weren't for you, their hard work wouldn't be able to be transferred, you have done your best, don't blame yourself for this, if you don't mind, we can treat you for free." Lokette spoke gratefully.
"No need, I can't bother you anymore." The more grateful Lokette became, the more embarrassed Yang Dian and Ned became, hurriedly waved their hands, refused the invitation, and helped each other to leave, their backs very tall and full of pride.
Lokite pushed his glasses and watched the two leave, then walked in front of Han Xiao and smiled, "Hello, do you have any business to entrust our research institute?" β
Han Xiao smiled, opened the metal box, and showed Lokette the mutated heart.
"This is the heart of the dead virus, and the material is a very powerful individual."
Lokette's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Please follow me." β
Lokette led the way in front, Han Xiao followed him into the elevator, came to the thirteenth floor, and opened the door to see a long white corridor, on both sides of which were laboratories, the windows were two-sided, and you could see the inside from the outside, some laboratories were doing experiments, some rooms were stored in experimental instruments and materials, and there were idle researchers chatting in the corridor.
The thirteenth floor is one of the experimental floors of the Lewis Institute, and Lockett said as he led the way: "The dead virus has always been an important project for our research, it has been stuck in a bottleneck, there is a lack of active materials, this heart is very important to us, maybe we can make a potion at once, as usual, you can get a finished product after completing the potion, of course, if you want other rewards, there is no problem." β
"No, I want potions." Han Xiao remained silent and pointed to the metal box in Lokette's hand, which was what Yang Dian and Ned had handed over, "I thought you already had the materials. β
"This? Hehe, that's something very important. Lokette smiled and didn't elaborate.
Coming to a large biological laboratory, Lokette stopped and said, "Please wait outside the door, unrelated personnel are not allowed to enter the laboratory." β
Han Xiao gave the box to Lokette, and Lokette walked into the laboratory with two boxes, and talked to a senior who seemed to be the director of the laboratory, the two boxes were opened on the table, and Han Xiao saw from a distance that the other box contained a snow-white egg, and he didn't know what kind of creature it was.
Lokette and the experiment director talked in a low voice, Han Xiao's ears moved, and the fifty-fifth level senses took the conversation between the two in the distance into his ears.
Experiment Director: "What about the exploration team, all dead?" β
Locket: "yes, those two heroes didn't save anyone. β
"Fortunately, the thing has been handed over, it doesn't matter if the person dies, plus this heart, it will soon be able to make a potion, what do the two 'heroes' say?"
"I feel ashamed of the trust in us, hehe, hiring these superheroes is much more cost-effective than mercenaries, as long as they give them some good reasons, they will even work for us for free, so that I can save a budget."
"You're not showing up, are you?"
"Of course not, they are stupid and naΓ―ve, they are so moved that they almost cry when they lie a little bit, this so-called hero is best coaxed, praise and gratitude can make them dizzy, when they left, they thought they had done a great thing, I almost couldn't hold back my laughter."
"Don't offend superheroes, try to befriend them."
"Don't worry, I left a good impression on them, and next time I can find them if I have anything to do, as long as I make up a good reason, I will definitely not refuse."
Han Xiao's eyes flashed, his face did not change, and he waited quietly.
It didn't take long for Lokette to end the conversation, return to the door, and say with a polite smile: "It takes a day to make the potion, if you don't mind, we provide a room to rest, and the potion will be handed over to you as soon as it is completed." β
"Okay." Han Xiao had no objection.
The two took the elevator to the floor of the living quarters, Han Xiao was assigned to a guest suite, and Lokette left after instructing some areas not to run around.
Han Xiao observed whether there were cameras in the room and found two, so he took out the computer, hacked into the network, controlled the cameras in the room, and played the freeze-frame picture in a loop.
Then he was unceremonious, and went directly into the database of the institute, flipping through various research projects.
[Elementary Programming] has reached the full level, his hacking skills are enough to capture most of the network firewalls of Hailanxing, except for the secrets of the six countries, the budding headquarters, the dark web core and some other key networks of the big forces cannot be invaded, a small research institute can't stop him, if he enters a no-man's land, it has not caused the network alarm of the research institute, and after reading it, he will clear the traces, and no one knows that he has invaded the network.
Open the project file of the institute, and one project after another flashes on the screen.
"Green lizard potion, mangox hormone, thunderclaw extract, grouper plague pathogen ......"
Many of the names are potions that players have obtained in previous lives, and after looking at it for a while, he finally saw the Dead Virus Project, the full name is [Dead Virus Enhancer], and in the detailed records of the project, there are grants from various foundations, which is an experiment to enhance physical fitness. As for the antidote to the dead virus that Lukite said to Yang Dian and Ned, the institute did not conduct any research in this area at all.
Han Xiao's eyes flickered, and he quickly tapped the keyboard and implanted the program.
PS: (Ask for leave tomorrow, sort out the outline, adjust the schedule)
