Shane's eyes were drawn to the notes penned by the Researcher whose identity was revealed as a prominent figure within the ranks of the New Government dedicated to halting the spread of the Zombie Virus...
"I am Dr. Marcus Holloway, a devoted servant of the New Government's cause to combat the insidious plague of the Zombie Virus and a dedicated Bio-Weapon Researcher.
I am writing this to get someone to continue our research and let the technologies we've created be known to everyone... I hope that someday, humanity will be strong enough to use these technologies..."
Shane paused for a moment as he read this part... Indeed, Darwin seemed to have given him a very precious map...
In his meticulously penned notes, Dr. Holloway detailed the location of the underground research facility, hidden beneath the decaying facade of an abandoned warehouse in the heart of Sector 20.
The entry point, obscured by the overgrown foliage and crumbling masonry, was marked by a series of symbols etched into the stone, it was a proof to the secrecy and subterfuge that shrouded the facility from prying eyes.
"To breach the facility's defenses, you must undo a series of puzzles and traps designed to test both mind and physical prowess. Only those with enough strength and keen intellect shall overcome these trials and gain access to the inner sanctum where the Bio-Armor, our most prized creation, lies in wait."
Shane's eyes lit up after reading this part...
"Bio-Armor! This is cool!"
His knowledge about the Bio-Armor was actually thanks to the memories he got from the Fairy Realm Collision. From the latest memories that he had, the Shelter where he was assigned was actually filled with Mutant Black Beetles. Well, the setting of the Fairy Realm was actually still on Earth, but it was merging with the Fairy Realm...
Firearms, nuclear weapons, and various things don't work in this apocalypse. It was because of the Fairy Realm's influence that was affecting the Earth...
To be exact, the Fairy Realm was already about 70% in its integration on Earth. Nonetheless, humans slowly adapted to it and were able to use the Fairy Realm's uniqueness to their advantage. New weapons were developed, and one of them was the integration of mutated creatures into humans.
The Mutant Black Beetles, for example, had become a source of their Shelter's most basic armor! If enough essence of the Beetles were looted, it could help the crafters create a Bio-Armor!

[ Your Territory Lord Title's Effect has been upgraded. ]
[ Residents of your territory will now gain 2 Loyalty Points per day. ]
"Whoa~" Shane couldn't help but feel excited after seeing this. He didn't expect to gain such benefits just by spending Item Upgrade Crystals!
'No... It's not just Item Upgrade Crystals. If I hadn't spent more than ten thousand Zombie Cores, we wouldn't have had this offer to buy the map with notes from this Researcher... If I'm not mistaken, there are already other Shelters visited by the old man.' Shane thought to himself as he realized how difficult this hidden quest was.
It would not be triggered without any wealth at all!
Without his Complete Loot System, he was sure this hidden quest would remain unknown for several months or even years!
After all, the memories he had obtained from his Memory Spheres were already about four years into the two other Apocalypses!
Anyway, now that he knew what he had to do once he left the estate, he should immediately start preparing for his journey...
Before that, however, he realized that there was another message that he had missed!
