"Enter the story town, and the mission countdown begins. The main quest www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion: Find the BTM-37 gene potion in the town within 72 hours and bring it into the return elevator. If you can't reach the return elevator within the specified time, the task will fail and all employees will be wiped out; The potion is damaged, the mission fails, and all the staff are wiped out. Mission difficulty, two stars. Are there any other newcomers to this story map: No. Now let's start importing a series of detailed information about the characters and backgrounds......"

The cold, mechanical voice in their minds described the general background of the event to them as if chanting:

Located on the northern edge of the Atlantic Ocean, the small town of Monavia was one of the off-limits areas for Nazi Germany's secret genetic weapons research during World War II. After the end of the war, the defeated German government ordered the destruction of all that remained in the town, and since then, this town burdened with sin has been in a deserted area for a long time, and the world has gradually forgotten it. It wasn't until the end of the twentieth century that the first British tourists discovered this feng shui treasure and gradually developed it into the thriving form it is today.

Recently, according to the secret investigation of the German secret agency, it seems that a very strange humanoid creature has appeared in the town, although it has not caused direct harm to the townspeople, and the corresponding sightings are increasing. They suspect that these mutated species are related to the BTM-37 agent that was lost that year. Zhang Chen and the four of them infiltrated the town as German secret agents and returned the bottle of genetic medicine that had been missing for 70 years to its original owner.

It's a lot of information, and the map is a lot bigger, which is nerve-wracking. Feeling the information swarming in his mind, Zhang Chen smiled bitterly and rubbed his sour temples.

"Your mom blew up, this task....want us to find a bottle that has been lost for 70 years? Grandma's, I really don't believe it, what quality bottle can be kept in the ruins for so long, if you want that kind of bottle, I'll be the first to buy it, throw a string of Morse code or something into it, in a few hundred years, fat man, I'll let them study aliens! Liu Weiqiang reacted the strongest, because of the excitement, his fortress-like wide body rose and fell slightly.

"Since the mission mentions this potion, it means that at least it's still intact somewhere in town. Then again, why is there such a big difference between the front and back after taking the upward elevator from the Scarlet Capital? Originally, it was good to just look for the corresponding elevator exit, but now there are more system tasks......" Zhang Chen lowered his head as if he was thinking carefully, and said to himself.

"This is the horror of the Scarlet City, it seems to be a critical point, every newcomer climbs a few floors of the elevator alive to reach here, there is almost no means of respite, and then go up, the difficulty gradually increases, and the hope of survival is getting smaller and smaller, which is why I willingly consumed blood to extend the time to go to the upward elevator." Zhao Boyuan silently lit a cigarette, and his tone was full of helplessness.

Zhang Chen was silent in his heart, the conversation he had with the old woman in the Scarlet Market that day let him know that the city they were in was just a newcomer area in the Scarlet Capital. Further up, there may be other cities, and perhaps more difficult tasks await them.

The town outside the elevator is a little charming and drunk in the light of the setting sun, and there are almost no pedestrians on the wide streets. British-style spires line the streets, and the silhouette of the mountains in the distance gives a sense of tranquility and ease.

"I think it's imperative to find a place with a lot of people to learn about the information, after all, we don't know anything about this city." Zhang Chen said, pointing to a small bar on the corner of the street in front of him, "That's it!" ”

The four of them stepped over the wooden threshold at the entrance of the store and sat down close to the bar. In addition to the store manager, there were three strangers dressed in different clothes, including a young couple and a man in his early thirties wearing a suit and tie.

"Welcome!"

The shopkeeper, dressed in a bartender suit, walked up, his expression not like the smile that a normal seller should have when greeting customers, and his face looked stiff.

"Whiskey or rum? We only have these two wines here, if you're here to drink. There was a dullness in his words, and his suspicious eyes swept over the four of them from time to time.

Zhang Chen, Zhao Boyuan, and Liu Weiqiang ordered a glass of whiskey, while Xin Yan asked for a glass of boiled water, frowning slightly. When the store manager walked away, he whispered, "Why do you feel that the atmosphere here is very oppressive?" The shopkeeper is like this, you look at the couple over there, it's like they're having a breakup meal, what's going on in this town? ”

Following Xinyan's direction, a man and a woman sitting by the window lowered their heads, eating the steak on the plate without looking at each other.

"Boss, refill my whiskey." The man in the suit, who was sitting diagonally behind the four, suddenly shouted. Zhang Chen cast a look at him, but greeted the other party's friendly toast.

"Get it yourself at the bar, Yankee!" The owner's gruff voice came over the counter. The man in the suit muttered a few words, got up obediently, bypassed the seats of four, and walked towards the bar. It didn't take long for the man to have an extra glass of whiskey on the rocks in his hand.

"Bang-"

Just as the man in the suit and leather collar passed by the table in front of Zhang Chen and his party, perhaps because the ground was slippery, his center of gravity was unstable, and the glass in his hand fell to Zhang Chen's feet, and the pale yellow wine stains splashed up made the latter frown.

"Oh my God. I'm so sorry, but I did drink a little too much......." The man in the suit bowed down and smiled apologetically.

"What's going on, people from this town." Zhao Boyuan, who was on the side, also looked at the sudden situation in front of him, and said with some complaints.

"Sorry......" the man in the suit repeated again.

"An apology may be avoided, and I think we can talk to each other." Zhang Chen gently wiped the wine stains off his trouser leg and motioned for the other party to sit down.

"Are you a local?" Wait until the other party is sitting safely across from him, and ask slowly.

The man in the suit showed an embarrassed expression, and the oily top of his head gave people an uncomfortable feeling under the dim light. His eyes are deeply sunken, his hands are wearing dark gloves, and his pair of Y-shaped red ties look formal and elegant.

"Well, sort of. I was transferred here two months ago because of work, hello, my name is Norton. He said, smiling and holding out his hand.

After Zhang Chen held the thick palms, a trace of inexplicable doubt flashed in his heart. The hands were hard, thick and made him feel that something was not right.

"It's the first time the four of you have come to the town of Monavia, are you here to travel, then again, there are a lot of wild tweeds blooming on the hill behind the town, just like this girl......"

Xinyan was a little embarrassed by this slightly provocative remark.

"We ......" Liu Weiqiang originally wanted to get straight to the point, but was stopped by Zhang Chen and said with a smile: "Yes, I just don't know what attractions are nearby, and ah, I heard that something strange happened in the town?" ”

This naturally refers to the fact that there are mutants in the town mentioned in the intelligence, because I don't know the specific development of the situation, what Zhang Chen said is quite vague.

"I see....... the smile on Norton's face became a little thicker, and his eyes gradually deepened, he paused slightly, and placed his fingers on the table, "I know there is a person who may be able to solve the doubts in your hearts." It's Dr. Wei who lives at the foot of the hill in the town......."

The sensitive word of the doctor reached the ears of the four of them, and they immediately cheered up. In the impression, this kind of person is mostly associated with words such as perverts and madmen, and is keen to study some weird things.

But what made Zhang Chen a little concerned was whether the 'strange thing' that Norton understood was really the thing they wanted to express, and if the other party knew their true intentions, why would they express it so vaguely?

Just when he was about to confirm further. The store manager, a man in his forties with a beard, walked over with a drink.

"Oh, damn it, Norton, what you did!" He saw the shattered glass on the floor, like an angry bison, and slammed the table so hard that he almost grabbed him by the collar and got into a fight.

Norton looked pitiful and took out a five-dollar bill and handed it to the boss, which eased the other party's anger. Obediently took the money and left their seats.

"Where did I go? Oh, yes, Dr. Wai. He's a celebrity in the area, and he's a doctor in a hospital himself, and he's in charge of the health of the people in the town, and he's heard that he's been doing genetic research lately, and he's setting up a company, and if there's something strange going on in this town, the doctor knows about it. Norton replied firmly.

Strange, so weird! The person in front of him ....... Zhang Chen's heart became alert to this man named Norton in his early thirties. On the one hand, he keeps emphasizing sensitive words like 'strange things' and 'genes', and on the other hand, he seems to be deliberately concealing these things.

"Can you please tell me Dr. Wei's location?" After some thought, Zhang Chen decided that he should give it a try, after all, this was the only clue so far. No matter what the man in front of him was hiding or what his purpose was, Zhang Chen and the four of them could only choose to move forward.

They are in a race against time!
