Chapter 5: Unexpected Joy?
Touching the pendant, Laura had mixed feelings.
After triggering the reminder of the female voice, Laura has been harassing in her mind in a variety of ways whenever she has free time in the past few days.
"Are you the system?"
"The god of the system begs to fly~"
"Can I go back? The world is too dangerous. ”
"Don't hide in there and keep quiet, I know you're home!"
However, I didn't get any response, only I always had a sense of letting myself complete an expedition, just like the task prompt in the game, or the kind highlighted.
Trying to take the pendant off failed, Laura had no choice but to go downstairs to find something to eat, after all, there was no time limit for this thing.
Stuffing something to fill her stomach, Laura went back upstairs and pulled out a storage box from the corner labeled "Graduation Travel Plan - Himiko".
Rubbing her hands a little nervously, Laura knew that it was dangerous to go looking for Himiko now, but this was all she was thinking about in the past few days, except for eating, sleeping and training.
Gradually, the curiosity and adventure factor in my bones still can't be controlled.
Actually, the most important point is
"Ahhh This 0.1% completeness is so annoying to look at! ”
Well, it's a disease, and it has to be cured.
................
For the next month, Laura spent her days preparing for her first adventure, in addition to handling company affairs and receiving various training from Rose.
After all, whether in the game or in the movie, that island is still relatively dangerous for the current Laura. Not to mention that it has also been integrated into the Marvel Universe, and the danger must be made greater.
Laura didn't want to be stuck in a twig or taken as a victim of inability to provoke or sacrifice.
During this time, the assistant Roxanne also invited Dr. Maya Hansen to the company, and Laura also started a discussion with the doctor about the "Desperate Virus" plan.
Actually, it was mainly to listen to Dr. Maya, and Laura was able to listen to a rough idea, and by the way, some of the points provided by Tony were raised.
Dr. Maya had thought that the new lady had called her for a whim. It turned out that Laura listened very carefully, and occasionally expressed opinions, suggestions, etc., which were very helpful to the project. The little dissatisfaction in my heart is gone.
"In fact, now that the 'Desperate Project' has passed animal and plant experiments, the most lacking thing is human experiment data."
Since the boss of the company is really interested and has no bureaucratic style, Maya Hansen also directly stated her needs.
Laura nodded, she had already prepared for this:
"I've got through some time ago, and your human experiments will start soon, but you must be responsible for this alone, and report the progress to my personal assistant in a timely manner. Moreover, human experiments must be cautious and cautious, and finding volunteers must be through formal channels, and an agreement must be signed in advance, and money is not a problem. ”
The two talked about some more details, and Maya Hansen left the company after leaving a tube of prototype virus and related description data.
Laura opened the cryogenic storage box and looked at the tube of the double-helix desperate virus inside, a little speechless.
This is full of T virus déjà vu, and there won't be any Resident Evil when the time comes.
Thinking like this, Laura planned to put the virus agent back in the box and put it together, she didn't dare to inject this prototype virus now, that is, to joke with her own life.
"The primary booster has been obtained, and it is taking effect, estimated time: 6 minutes and 30 seconds."
The emotionless female voice suddenly reappeared, and Laura couldn't care about her at this time.
"This, too, too! Hot! Finish! ”
Laura felt like her body was on fire from the inside out, and she couldn't make a sound when she wanted to call for help.
Laura could only collapse to the ground, silently suffering the burning torment.
“5,4,3,2,1。 The primary booster has taken effect. ”
The faint female voice of the system pulled Laura's soul back.
Laura collapsed on the marble floor like a salted fish with lost dreams, and the six and a half minutes just now felt like a year. The reagent in my hand is gone.
Laura felt still hot, especially for her eyes, so she picked up a bottle of mineral water and unscrewed the lid and poured it on her face.
"Huh~"
"Whew~ I'm finally comfortable."
Laura opened her eyes and glanced at the box that had fallen next to her.
"It's good I don't have a carpet here, otherwise it would have caught fire."
Laura's first reaction, which was gradually recovering, was hunger, hunger like never before.
................
In the restaurant on the second floor of the Crawford Building, Roxanne stared blankly at the owner of his own house sitting at the dining bar.
After eliminating 3 burgers, 6 pizzas, a pot of bacon and a pot of roast, Laura finally burped comfortably.
Luo Xan, who had finally recovered from her sluggish state next to her, hurriedly walked over and asked worriedly:
"Laura, are you alright? How to eat so much all of a sudden. This will cause indigestion, and you will not overeat in the future, I promised your mother to take care of you. Look at your current appearance, if I hadn't just kicked people out... ”
Laura, who finally recovered, could only nod again and again, promising that she would not be next time.
After such a scene, Laura lost the mind to stay in the company, and casually fooled Roxanne and drove home.
Turning on the lights on the villa's underground training ground, Laura walked in.
It was completed a week ago, and it was built exactly as Laura and Rose had asked us to be. Well equipped and well insulated.
After the door closed, Laura immediately did all the training programs she had done in the previous month, and then she was ecstatic.
The sand eagle, which could barely hold down with a gun in both hands before, now has no pressure to fire with two hands.
The 80-pound compound bow was also easily filled, and when you let go, you shot straight through the target.
The bench press of 220kg is also very easy.
Laura feels that her stats should be close to the same as the normal team now.
After a lap of practice, Laura calmed down and prepared for the final test - recovery after injury.
Because she was strengthened by the system absorbing the Desperate Virus, and a lot of heat was released in the process, Laura was worried that she would also become a moving bomb like those desperate warriors in "Iron Man 3".
Picking up the dagger and looking at her white arm, Laura slashed down hard.
"Huh? Just a white mark? Is it so strong? ”
After a try, Laura found that the 7.62 caliber rifle bullet could break through the defense, and it could heal after about half an hour's rest.
Of course, the 5.56 bullet still hurts on the body, and there are bruises, which can dissipate in about 10 minutes.
Looking at her arms and calves that are gradually recovering, Laura feels that the value of this shot tonight, the pain is really painful, and the injury will be slightly heated when recovering, but it is not like a desperate warrior who sparks out, it seems that the stability of the reinforcement given by the system is still relatively guaranteed.
In the eyes of ordinary people, such self-harm is a brain disease, but Laura feels that it is still necessary to test her limits in a controlled environment.
In the face of the upcoming journey to Yamatai, Laura can be regarded as having a strong guarantee.
After cleaning up the messy field, Laura felt how tired she was, but she was a little hungry.
Having the maid prepare some high-calorie food, Laura opened up her appetite and ate again, enjoying the food without worrying about gaining weight was an extra benefit of this reinforcement.
......
On April 30, 2008, Laura's first adventure in this world was finally about to begin.
