Chapter 203 Construction Team

“The research on the Tyrant form is the most complicated. If we want to develop a high success rate of the Tyrant’s fusion form, we first need to overcome the research and development of various Tyrant form viruses.”

“It won’t be so fast. Based on the current results, an optimistic estimate is that it will take at least seven to nine months.”

“So long?”

Fang Heng frowned.

“Of course, the Tyrant form research is equivalent to a fresh start. If you can provide me with enough research personel to help me and increase the level of the research room, I can reduce the time by at least three-quarters.”

Fang Heng raised his hand in surrender. “Don’t think about it. I won’t be able to provide you with those for the time being.”

“Okay.”

Qiu Yaokang nodded calmly. He could understand Fang Heng’s current predicament.

After all, it was too difficult to find a few reliable researchers in this apocalypse.

He continued to look at the record sheet.

“In addition, you brought back a lot of special virus bodies and live samples. If I do in-depth research on them, I can develop a higher-level human attribute modification potion.”

“The research will be divided into many stages. To obtain the research results, you will need to complete Tier 1, and an optimistic estimate would be around 5-12 days.”

Attribute enhancement potion!

That’s good stuff!

Fang Heng’s eyes lit up.

“Wait a minute, you seem to have forgotten about the Licker, right?”

“I haven’t forgotten, the Licker’s research is the fastest.”

“The secret laboratory here was originally built to nurture the Licker. Now that we have the modified T-virus to create the Licker, the results will be available in 24 hours and we can conduct a Phase 1 clinical trial.” “Pfft!!”

Li Bo had just poured a glass of water. When he heard the conversation between the two, he spat out the water that he had just drunk.

Crazy! 24 hours?

Big Brother is going to go without sleep for 24 hours again?

Qiu Yaokang glanced at Li Bo who was standing at the side indifferently and turned his head to Fang Heng again.

Fang Heng was greatly surprised and directly ignored Li Bo.

After 24 hours, he would be able to obtain the modified Licker!

As expected of an S-level character! Impressive!

“Qiu Yaokang! You’re really a genius!”

“Yes, I am indeed, but don’t be too happy.”

Qiu Yaokang looked at the excited Fang Heng and ‘poured a bucket of cold water’ on him.

“The estimated live experiment is based on the modified T-virus you obtained. The modified T-virus that you obtained is limited, so we will not be carrying out too many tests during Phase 1.”

“Uh… What do you mean?”

Fang Heng expressed that he did not understand.

Li Bo wiped his mouth and said, “Mr Qiu means that even if the follow-up clinical experiment succeeds, we will only be able to mass-produce Lickers after we successfully develop the modified T-virus.” “How long will it take?”

“It depends on when you provide me with more researchers and better experimental equipment.”

Ugh!

Fang Heng sighed.

He felt a sense of bitterness. Experimental personnel… Fang Heng also wanted experimental personnel, but where could he get them? However, after the teleportation passage was completed, the first thing he had to do was to move the Meteorite Company’s advanced laboratory back to the shelter.

It could at least increase the research efficiency.

“Oh right, there’s one more thing.” Qiu Yaokang said as he picked up the unknown potion that Fang Heng had just brought back. “I’ve made a general observation. This potion of yours is very strange. It’s not an ordinary virus.”

“After the clinical trial of the Licker is over tomorrow, it will be further studied and tested. We still need more time to analyze it before we can come to a conclusion.”

After leaving the laboratory, Fang Heng went to visit the sterile ward that was under construction.

The blueprints of the sterile ward were personally made by Qiu Yaokang, and the materials were obtained by Liao Bufan.

The remaining NPC architects who built the ward were hired by Mo Jiawei from the Dark Knights.

Liao Bufan reported the work to Fang Heng.

In general, the construction of the sterile ward was in good condition.

If everything went smoothly, it would be completed tomorrow!

“In addition, we have already thoroughly explored the forest area during this period of time. Except for the three nail households, everything else has been taken care of.”

“The three holdouts ain’t cooperating. Mo Jiawei offered them twice the price to leave, but in the end, they still couldn’t come to an agreement.”

“Yeah, I’ll go find trouble with them in two

days.”

Fang Heng nodded to show that he understood.

As the saying goes, “To shoot the bird which takes the lead.”

When the teleportation passage was completed and the Licker’s experimental product was completed, they would be the first to be treated as experimental products to test the strength of the Lickers.

This was still a game.

Since they could not reach an agreement, then they would have to resort to using their fists.

“And Boss, there’s a problem. We’re running out of materials here.”

“Materials?”

Fang Heng turned his head, his face full of surprise.

Since when did his shelter run out of materials?

“Boss, we signed the blood moon project with the Federation. It’s expected that the first batch of players will move into the shelter tomorrow.”

“We’ll pay for all three meals a day. You’re not here during this time, so there’s no income from food in the shelter.”

“I’ve estimated that, including the people from the Federation, the food in the shelter will last for another two or three days.”

“The food will be replenished soon.”

Fang Heng felt that this was not a big problem.

Once the teleportation passage was completed, the food would be replenished immediately.

However, Liao Bufan did remind him.

The shelter would be accepting a batch of outsiders, so they needed to increase the protection.

Fang Heng and Liao Bufan discussed it briefly. All players on the Federation asylum list will move into prison Building No. 1 after entering the shelter.

Building No. 3 was a restricted area and none was allowed to enter without authorization. If the Dark Knights found any intruders, they would open fire.

Liao Bufan nodded and agreed, “Okay, Boss. I’ll go and communicate with the mercenaries later.”

Fang Heng touched his chin again.

“Oh right, Liao Bufan, do they pay for food?” “Food?”

Liao Bufan blinked his eyes and looked at Fang Heng in surprise.

“They probably don’t pay for food, right?” Fang Heng felt that he had made a mistake. When he was negotiating with the Federation, he had forgotten to mention food expenses…

As the two of them were discussing, an elderly NPC steward knocked on the door.

Brian was over 50 years old. Before the apocalypse, he had been a hotel supervisor.

After joining the shelter, Brian began to take charge of the daily management of the shelter.

“Mr Fang Heng, David from the Dark Knights is here to visit. He’s waiting in the reception room.”

David?

The construction team came so quickly!?

Fang Heng was delighted. “I’ll be there right away.”

In the reception room, Fang Heng met his old friend David.

David had always looked travel-worn.

This time, David also brought two authentic combat teams of the Dark Knights and an elite construction team.

David bowed to Fang Heng and said loudly, “Colonel Fang Heng, David and the Engineering Team 3 of the Dark Knights are reporting to you!”

Fang Heng was almost unnerved.

He then realized that after going to Pine City, his military rank had been upgraded to a higher level than David’s…

“David, don’t be so formal. Sit down and talk. You’re making me very uncomfortable.” “I didn’t even have time to congratulate you.”

David sat down and looked at Fang Heng. No matter how he looked at it, he felt satisfied.

That was the talent he had discovered!
