Chapter 371: The Last Piece of the Truth Puzzle

POSTED ON APRIL 24, 2023 BY KEN

Now that the intelligent system of the entire building was completely paralyzed, they didn’t dare to use the elevator. They could just take the fire exit.

Even if there was a place guarded by a sturdy door, there was no need to worry about it with Max in the team. He could just knock open the door directly.

What? You said the door couldn’t be knocked open? Then bumped into the wall beside. Anyway, there was a humanoid bulldozer like Max!

However, even if they rushed unimpeded, they were still blocked by the guards on duty when they reached the 30th floor. As soon as they met, the guards shot without warning. Immediately, there was a crossfire.

Although these guards were well-trained, they were facing killing machines like Fang Linyan and Max who had been trained by the Space’s intensive training!

After avoiding the first wave of offensive, Max picked up a desk and threw it at them.

This desk was made of solid wood. It weighed at least 100kg. When Max threw it over, 2 guards were smashed into heavy injuries on the spot.

Fang Linyan raised his hand and struck with a bolt of lightning. The crimson lightning instantly landed on the person who was holding a strange gun. After being hit by this blow, the person immediately fell to the ground and screamed in pain.

Seeing that 3 guards were down instantly, the rest were scared.

After throwing the desk, Max didn’t stay idle, but he guarded his forehead with his hand and charged into them!

He grabbed the fist launched by a guard and lifted him up like a weapon, then he grabbed his arm and spun like a hurricane.

Immediately, several people around were hit. Fang Linyan and the elite mechanical warrant officer rushed up to assist, rendering the guards in disarray.

Fang Linyan picked up that strange firearm, and he found that it needed to be unlocked with a fingerprint, so he could only destroy it sulkily.

The three of them continued to rush forward quickly, and they finally came to the door of the president’s office.

Originally, if they wanted to come here through unconventional means, they had to go through many obstacles, but now there was only 1 door left.

Not only that, but Fang Linyan noticed that on the left and right sides of the gate, on the left was a sculpture similar to a Chinese stone lion, which was about 4 meters high. It almost touched the ceiling.

Its shape was not a stone lion, but a devil statue that looked very ferocious. It had a goat head, bat wings, ferocious fang, and pumped muscles! Every detail was vivid.

However, the sculpture on the right that should exist was only a damaged base, with coiled cables and injection devices under the base. A large number of cracked and strange shells and debris scattered the ground.

Fang Linyan bent down and picked up a piece of shell. This thing was like an egg shell, but much harder than an egg shell. The material was very special. It was definitely not naturally found in nature.

There was also a large mass of slime on the precious white cashmere carpet. The carpet had become turquoise in color, which looked quite disgusting.

Obviously, there was also a hidden biological weapon hidden inside this sculpture. It would show up when an intruder appeared, giving a fatal blow to the enemy!

However, after being invaded by the Smith Virus, the instinct of this thing was to destroy and cause chaos. After all the confinement measures in the building were lifted, the creature inside had gone to search for food after awakening. Now the president’s office was unguarded.

After entering the president’s office, needless to say about the magnificent decoration inside, the private use area can probably reach more than 300 square meters after the reception room is removed. Finding a personal computer and notebook in such an environment is also a big project.

Fortunately, at this time Max had directly hacked into the personal computer on the president’s desk. Fang Linyan sat on it directly to check the confidential files inside…

Even if his mental quality was very good, he couldn’t help but gasped, because the first thing he saw was a document:

The Needs to Reinforce and Mutate the Aerospace Engineering.

Cosmic rays were the main source of spaceflight mutation. When specially enhanced personnel traveled in space, it would be affected by factors such as high-energy ions/ultraviolet rays/microgravity in cosmic rays, which would cause mutations in genes on chromosomes and increase the rate of abnormal development of organisms.

Moreover, different parts hit by space high-energy ions lead to different chromosomal aberrations.

At the same time, in space, the probability of gene breakage and recombination in tissues was higher, and chromosomal aberrations would also occur. The longer the flight time, the higher the aberration efficiency.

…

Then the paperwork became fragmented, followed by another application.

Applicant: Sixth Genome Group Leader: Chinov.

Reason for application: Obtain 3 quotas for enhanced mutations in aerospace engineering.

Specific situation: The “Bile Squirter” Prototype (temporary name) developed by our group has entered the final stage of modulation, but the bone cell enhancement mutation of the prototype has not been ideal.

Last year, the aerospace engineering enhanced mutation quota obtained by our group was taken away by the mechanical group. This year, the genetic engineering group’s quota was weakened. Currently, our group is in urgent need of a large number of bone cell enhancement mutation samples.

Application: Denied (President’s signature)

Seeing this application, Fang Linyan immediately felt familiar with the group leader’s name.

He thought about it again. Wasn’t this guy who ran away in Veronica Laboratory and lost his wallet? I didn’t expect that he would become the leader of the Sixth Genome Group.

Fang Linyan looked again and found that the application time of this report was one and a half years ago.

He continued to read. Combined with his own inference, the whole picture quickly surface…

It turned out that Yaron Musk, the president of SPX Corporation, was actually the man who founded Veronica Laboratory, the executive director of Bloody Umbrella Company, Williams!!

After problems arose in the underground base of Veronica Laboratory, Williams was also quite decisive. He quickly realized one thing. That was, the ruins at the bottom of the lake contained power beyond his control.

Just the thing inside a box on the periphery of the ruins could cause the annihilation of the entire underground experimental base.

So after opening that door, would a more terrifying thing come out?

Under such an idea, Williams chose to give up, because the results developed in Veronica Laboratory over the years were enough for him to have enough capital to make a comeback.

Williams himself also suffered from a rare genetic disease: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Therefore, Williams selected the next goal of the group as the development of human gene mutations, which was equivalent to going in the same direction as Duckland Company.

However, it was only in the same direction, definitely not the way of Duckland Company!

Williams was really talented. He chose to acquire SPX Corporation and directly take the route of space mutation!

He claimed to be developing space travel, but he had actually launched rockets without the public knowing several times. He sent the samples developed in the laboratory into space to induce their mutation, then a large number of samples could be obtained from the samples returned to the laboratory.

In this way, if the problem of space travel could be solved, the experimental cost would be far lower than the normal way. This was equivalent to solving the problem of biological sample variation at a low cost.

However, in the last few launches, the “Vulture” heavy transport rocket launched by SPX Corporation had failures twice when returning.

When the first failure occurred, it only destroyed a few preparation cabins, but it also attracted the attention of the rest of the biochemical companies.

When the second failure occurred, it coincided with the arrival of the meteor shower.

This time, the entire heavy transport rocket was affected. It disintegrated directly after entering the atmosphere, but those mutated genetic samples also remained and even biochemical pollution appeared, leading to biological mutations on the Earth.

Then some intact samples were obtained by Gumball Company and Fincher Company, and they created Spitter, Lizard Man, and Hunter as a new type of biological weapon according to the samples.

However, what they got was just an ordinary sample after all, lacking a large amount of core data support, so the biochemical weapons were just ordinary. To put it more directly, they were just some cheap copies.

As for the SPX Corporation, they had put their elite version into actual combat, such as those encountered by Fang Linyan and Max. Its power was far greater than that of the cheap copy encountered before.

TL: There shouldn’t be any more creatures in the office after the havoc caused by Smith Virus, right?
