Chapter 105 – Taking Samples
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Li Bo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the results displayed on the screen.
“Phew, we are pretty lucky! Everything is fine with the equipment. Erita is in good condition and is still in hibernation mode.”
Fang Heng also walked forward and observed Erita through the glass.
From its appearance, it looked more like a human than Alex.
“Fang Heng, take a look at this.”
Li Bo was a little bolder. He handed a document to Fang Heng and continued to check the running state of the machine.
[Experimental observation summary report (March)]
1. Erita still had some thinking ability after being infected with the virus. It was determined that its intelligence was equivalent to that of a 2-3 year old child.
2. Affected by the T-virus and modified based on predators, Erita became very aggressive. It had a strong thirst for blood and harboured strong hostility toward humans. It could easily enter a berserk state.
3. Erita was selected as an experimental subject for the biological weapon project. The first phase of the experiment tried to modify its memory, input memory in it and control it to follow the orders of the Meteorite Company, but the result was not satisfactory.
4. The next phase of the experiment will use a more efficient control input mode.
The first half of the report was filled with descriptions and the second half of the report began to record all the research data on Erita from the beginning of the experiment to the end.
Even though most of the data was written in technical terms, Fang Heng still forced himself to read through the entire log.
“Biological weapon project…”
Fang Heng lowered his head and muttered to himself. He remembered seeing it in the Dark Knight’s mission list.
[Hint: You have obtained Erita’s experimental observation summary report (March).]
[Hint: Player has completed the third stage of the mission-exploring the second basement of the prison. You have obtained 500 survival points.]
[Hint: Player has triggered the fourth stage of the mission-execution.]
Mission name: Execution.
Mission description: After multiple explorations, you have discovered the secret research room of the Meteorite Company in the second basement. You have realized that this is the biological weapon that the Meteorite Company is currently researching-Erita. To ensure safety, please kill it.
Mission reward: Individual talent enhancement plan (unappraised) (Level: S)*1.
Here it comes!
The final phase of the mission!
As long as he killed Erita, he would be able to obtain the S-level talent enhancement plan!
Fang Heng’s spirits were lifted as he raised his head to look at Erita, who was opposite the tempered glass.
The terrain in the underground research room was narrow and not suitable for combat.
He needed to think of a way to lure it into the maze outside to kill it easily.
“Fang Heng, I’ve checked thoroughly. There’s no damage to the equipment. According to the current state of the remaining nutrient solution, it should be able to last for another five months.”
Li Bo informed Fang Heng.
“Erita is very dangerous. I suggest that we find a way to deal with it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if there’s a problem with the power supply system and Erita wakes up, it’ll be troublesome.”
“Didn’t you guys come up with any emergency measures during the research? For example, if Erita goes berserk, how will you all deal with it?”
“Yes, under normal circumstances, if Erita went berserk, we would inject poison into its body. The poison would cause it to become abnormally weak for some time.”
“In addition, we also implanted a mini bomb in Erita’s brain. In case it went out of control, as long as we detonated the bomb, Erita would be completely dead.”
There was such a good thing?
“You can detonate the bomb and directly kill Erita?”
Li Bo shook his head.
“No, I can’t do it. Only the team leader knows how to detonate the mini bomb. The team leader is already dead.”
“Okay, what about injecting poison?”
“I can do that. Under normal circumstances, we also inject poison into Erita to make it less aggressive.”
As Li Bo spoke, he began to type in the command in front of the console.
“Currently, there aren’t many poison dosages left. I can still weaken it three to four times.”
Fang Heng lowered his head and pondered.
There was no way to kill Erita directly. Weakening it was good news.
Erita was going to be killed. This concerned whether he could obtain an S-level talent enhancement plan in the end.
However, before that, could he be greedy again?
Fang Heng quickly checked his backpack.
There were still two sample collectors inside.
Erita, the product of Meteorite Company’s biological weapon project.
It was a Tier 4 mutated zombie just like Alex!
Fang Heng felt that the value of a live sample of Erita was even higher than Alex’s!
The Dark Knights and Qiu Yaokang would be very interested in its sample!
By then, he could earn a huge amount of honor points from it!
Fang Heng turned his head to look at Li Bo.
“Is there any way to keep Erita unconscious and extract some live samples from him?”
“Extract live samples? Are you crazy?”
Li Bo was shocked by Fang Heng’s idea. He rejected it without even thinking.
“No, once Erita wakes up from its coma…”
Fang Heng couldn’t help but interrupt, “So you can do it, right?”
“In theory, Erita won’t wake up immediately after a long period of dormancy. It will still sleep for a while after leaving the cultivation pod, about one to three hours.”
Seeing that Fang Heng was tempted, Li Bo hurriedly added.
“But Erita has been modified by the T-virus and has the characteristics of a predator. It is very sensitive to the scent of humans. Once it senses a human approaching it, it will most likely wake up immediately.”
“So a living person can’t approach it?”
“It’s not a big deal!”
“I will just let a dead person do it!”
Fang Heng pursed his lips, thinking that it was simple. Even a zombie clone could take a sample.
“Then let’s begin. You can inject the remaining toxins into Erita’s body, and then let it out of the cultivation pod.”
Li Bo didn’t make a move. He just looked at Fang Heng.
He thought that Fang Heng was a lunatic.
“Are you sure?”
“Of course I’m sure. I’m prepared. After closing the cultivation pod, go to the prison square and tell the people outside to prepare for battle.”
“Alright, I’ve warned you. Don’t blame me if you die.”
Seeing that Fang Heng was not joking, Li Bo took a deep breath.
He carefully controlled the robotic arm and injected a blue liquid poison into the cultivation pod.
After injecting the poison, Eria’s body twitched a few times in the cultivation pod before it quickly quieted down.
After waiting for another ten minutes, the liquid in the cultivation pod was drained.
“Alright, the poison has been injected into Erita’s body. It will fall into a weakened state for some time.”
Li Bo did not want to stay in this dangerous place for even a second.
“I’ll take my leave first.”
Fang Heng finally understood.
Li Bo, this NPC, was rather timid. He had already lost 1 loyalty point after forcing him to come to the laboratory. If he continued to force him to stay here, his loyalty point might continue to drop.
“Alright, you go first. I’ll take care of the rest.”
“Okay!”
Li Bo agreed and quickly ran for his life.
He didn’t want to stay here and go crazy like Fang Heng.
But just as he turned around and tried to walk forward, Li Bo suddenly shivered.
“What is that?!”
Behind him, a zombie was staring at him.
Li Bo was so scared that his face turned pale.
However, the zombie ignored Li Bo. It strode past Li Bo and stopped right in front of Fang Heng.
Li Bo was stunned.
He looked at Fang Heng in horror..
