Chapter 181 - 181 Behind The Scenes

181 Behind The Scenes

“Hey, don’t you have to be at the wheel?”

Wang Ran was stunned.

“Pssh, there’s no need for manual control anymore.

“I’ve pointed us in the right direction. I’ll just check on it in 20 minutes.

“Brother-in-law, why don’t we…”

Tang Tang stuck out her little tongue, and licked her lips.

“Brother-in-law, for crying out loud…

“Are you still immersed in your character?”

Wang Ran smiled helplessly.

The car on the cruise ship started to shake…

After the first round, Tang Tang ran back to the cockpit.

“Oh, crap, we’ve really gone off-course. Useless computers.”

Tang Tang stuck out her tongue.

Originally, she had planned to send them northeast for 20 minutes, then northwest, just around the protruding coastline, and reach Eastlake Island.

In the end, she and Wang Ran had busied themselves in the car for an hour.

“Let’s extend the journey. We can create an opportunity for Momo~”

Tang Tang smiled proudly.

…

On an island in the Pacific Ocean, there was an underground research institute in the forest.

Henry took the elevator to the basement.

Inside were busy researchers, preparing for the latest live test.

“Hello, Captain Henry.”

From time to time, the researchers would take the time to greet Henry.

“How’s the progress of the biological experiment?

“Any problems?” Henry asked.

“Well…

“Last night, there was an accident with the marine biology team.

“Cuttlefish One and Two broke through the defense and escaped,” a researcher said with his head lowered.

“What the f*ck! What are you guys doing?!

“You lost One, and now you let the cuttlefish slip?

“Do the field agents have to clean up your mess every day?”

Henry was furious.

“Captain Henry, it’s really not our fault this time!

“Cuttlefish One mutated within expected margins after eating more than a hundred Mutated Zombies.

“But cuttlefish Two…”

At the mention of cuttlefish Two, the researcher’s face revealed a frightened expression.

“What’s wrong? Just tell me!”

Henry glared at him.

“It was unlike anything we’ve seen or projected.

“It directly broke through its original biological structure and grew more than a dozen tentacles. It also grew by more than a dozen times.

“What’s more terrifying is that the tips of its tentacles would open up like a man-eating flower, and they’re full of sharp teeth.

“It also produced a highly corrosive liquid.

“It broke through the one-meter thick metal plate and escaped with cuttlefish One,” the researcher said with a lingering fear.

“If it had headed in the laboratory’s direction, many people will die.

“F*ck, are biological experiments so prone to going berserk these days?

“And the boss is fine with this?”

Henry was not pleased.

If this squid affected the safety of the research institute, he would have to take care of it.

“Well the boss… The boss is here. He’s waiting for you in the meeting room on the second floor,” the researcher said weakly.

Henry was stunned. He adjusted his emotions and immediately walked toward the elevator.

The boss rarely came to the laboratory. This time, it had to be something important.

Soon, Henry took the elevator.

In the meeting room, a middle-aged man in an electric wheelchair had his back facing the door.

He held Rubik’s Cubes in each hand and was quickly solving them simultaneously.

Henry knocked on the door.

“Come in,” the middle-aged man said indifferently.

Henry pushed the door open and entered.

“Boss, why are you here?

“Do you have something important to tell me?” Henry asked carefully.

The middle-aged man’s electric wheelchair slowly turned around, and the two Rubik’s Cubes in his hands were perfectly solved.

“Number One. Where is she?” the middle-aged man had an Asian face and asked calmly.

“There’s a lead.

“I approached the biggest local camp I could find, and I made them an offer they couldn’t refuse to help me find her.

“I believe it won’t take long for us to bring back Number One.”

Henry didn’t dare to look the middle-aged man in the eye.

It had been almost a week since Number One escaped, and they had yet to retrieve her.

Henry had failed as the field team leader.

“You know how important Number One is to me.

“I’ll give you another five days. If you still can’t find Number One…

“You can serve as the new Number One,” the middle-aged man said coldly.

Although there was no threat in his tone, Henry still broke out in a cold sweat.

“Don’t worry, Boss. I’ll get it done!” Henry lowered his head and said.

“I heard that a rank-five Awakened appeared in N-City, right?

“I reckon that with just those toy vials of yours, you won’t be able to deal with him.

“I’ve brought you a few helpers,”

The middle-aged man clapped his hands.

Two Mutated Zombies in one-piece uniforms walked out from a dark corner of the conference room.

One of them was a tall and burly male Mutated Zombie with claws as sharp as knives.

The other one was a scrawny female zombie who looked weak.

The only thing they had in common was that they both had a pair of red pupils.

“This… This is…”

“Subjects from other research institutes?”

Henry was very surprised.

‘There aren’t many red-eyed Mutated Zombies in the world!’

The company is already producing bioweapons?

“This is a byproduct of Number Three.

“Number Three’s strain proved to be highly virulent. The deathrate was ridiculously high, but it resulted in these two,” the middle-aged man said with a smile.

Their company consisted of four branches, each of which held a core experimental subject of different characteristics.

Ada, who had escaped from here, was the core experimental subject of the first branch and was the progenitor of the virus.

Without subject Number One, the progress of many follow-up research projects would be delayed.

“Boss, these two… would they listen to my command?”

Henry wiped the sweat off his forehead.

He had never come into contact with a Mutated Zombie of this level.

“Inject this,”

“There’s a heartbeat sensor inside.

“Activate it after you inject it, and it’ll be bound to the bombs in their heads.

“If your heart stops beating, their heads will explode.”

The middle-aged man threw a box of syringes to Henry.

“Thank you, Boss.

“I’ll definitely be able to successfully complete the mission this time.”

Henry’s confidence exploded.

Originally, his field team only had one rank-four Awakened and a few rank-one and two Awakeneds. They were indeed a little weak.

With the addition of these two red-eyed Mutated Zombies, it would not be a problem to destroy an entire city!
