"Where's the big guy? Isn't he coming with us?"
As Xu Yijing was tuning a motorcycle, which belonged to An Zhijie's adoptive father, Mr. An, she was somewhat surprised to see Tao Yu arrive alone.
"The motorcycle can't fit both of us, so I arranged for him to do something else." Enjoy new stories from m-v l'e|-novelhall.net
Tao Yu had already hidden Wino in the shadows, anyway, he tried not to do such things in front of others.
You never know when it might become an ace in the hole.
Showcasing one's edge to gain benefits is certainly necessary, but what needs to be hidden must be hidden.
Tao Yu, who often overcame strength with weakness, certainly didn't want to become such a target...
"The research institute is not far, and I also discovered online that before things broke out, he had already posted relevant warnings. It's feared that problems had arisen before the descent of the Rainforest."
Xu Yijing finished tuning the motorcycle, then got on it directly, and Tao Yu also sat in the back seat, letting her drive and lead the way.
"Let's go."
With the twist of the throttle, the motorcycle left the underground garage and headed toward their destination.
Monsters occasionally appeared on the road, but ordinary monsters really didn't have much they could do against a high-speed moving motorcycle.
Although Tao Yu left behind two ordinary assault rifles to lighten his load, he still carried the AT200 and the Warlord's Sidearm with him.
Though the Warlord's Sidearm auto-replenished only one round per minute, it was just enough for this situation.
Any fool who didn't have eyes would get a bullet as a reward.
They then smoothly arrived at a research institute.
However, it was quite apparent that something significant had happened at this institute. Not only was it devoid of people, but bloodstains and corpses were everywhere, and there were even bodies of fully armed personnel.
"There definitely is a problem; otherwise, it wouldn't have turned out like this. Why does it seem like some people were shot to death..."
Tao Yu was not too surprised by the scene before him.
Sometimes, humans can indeed be scarier than monsters.
"His office is this way; let's go in and look around."
Xu Yijing led Tao Yu upstairs to her fiancé's office.
But the scene was a mess, with various items scattered on the floor. There was not a single piece of research material; the file cabinets appeared to have been emptied.
There were also many bloody handprints on the glass, which seemed rather eerie.
Xu Yijing went straight to her fiancé's desk and began to rummage around. According to her fiancé's habits, she indeed found a tablet hidden in a compartment between two drawers.
"We've got something."
Xu Yijing's face showed a hint of joy, but just then, Tao Yu frowned, looked outside, and said in a deep voice,
"Be careful, someone is coming in. Don't move from this spot."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yijing was also startled; she nodded and then hid behind the desk.
Although she was once a special forces soldier with strong operational capabilities,
Roar~
A tiger-like roar seemed to appear in the ears of everyone present; amid the sudden assault and this intimidation, there was simply no time to react.
With one swipe per person, Tao Yu killed the majority with his paws.
In the end, only a team leader was left alive.
"I didn't expect the team leader to be a great beauty, quite the charmer," he mused.
The remaining team leader, seeing Tao Yu's ferocious Dragon Armor and hearing his mocking words, her eyes were full of shock.
"A special infected who can control themselves..."
But before she could finish her sentence, Tao Yu's fingertip had flicked across her face, leaving a deep bloody gash.
"I really don't like your tone, you need to understand your situation."
"You're a rational special infected, you need to cooperate with our research, we can create a vaccine, we can save all mankind!"
The woman, ignoring the wound on her face, said somewhat hysterically.
"Save all mankind?"
Tao Yu sneered and flicked his finger.
With a spur of power, her arm drooped, and she let out a scream of pain.
"You can't even save yourself."
"Really, we had a special infected who escaped earlier, and we managed to develop a vaccine from him..."
Even as cold sweat beaded on her forehead from the pain, the woman still tried to continue persuading.
Tao Yu's eyes brightened upon hearing this.
"A vaccine from this? Where's the research data? I want to see to confirm."
He hadn't expected that a purely conceptual thing like this would have a vaccine.
The power of Demonization was strong, even the ordinary version of Demonization. The power, deriving from one's desires, could likely be complementary and cohesive abilities.
A beggar's version of the Kaleidoscope Sharingan for the physical body.
But it's too contaminated, and besides, you need to withstand it for fifteen days to acquire it; the side effects are too massive.
This also led to a great decrease in the inherent value of the skill itself.
If they really could develop a vaccine, then bringing it to Floating City for research could substantially reduce the side effects, enhancing the original value of this world.
"If the vaccine is hard to get, its very price is high enough to be exchanged for money; if the vaccine is easy to get, the price of Yuan Force skills in this world would increase, either way, I profit."
Tao Yu's heart gradually lifted with excitement.
If it was the original version of Demonization, the efficiency of hunting for Yuan Force might not be better than that of hunting Aliens, but if the vaccine was easy to acquire, with the massive boost from this world, he could recklessly hunt.
Even if not for the lacking talent Yuan Force, just with some time, before the prices of skills crashed, he could Deify several key skills!
At the very least, he could sell the rare and expensive vaccines at a high price, never a loss...
