#2125 - Detection

They had tried nearly every method they could think of!

Yet, they were still unable to do anything about these Licker creatures.

Their self-healing ability was simply too terrifying!

They swarmed together, crowding inside the passage, effectively blocking it off!

The federal soldiers couldn't think of any better solutions and were forced to remain stuck in the research institute's lobby area.

"Sir, judging by the current situation, it's almost impossible to force our way through."

"Hmm."

Boris looked at the battle ahead, secretly shocked.

What exactly were these monsters?

How could they possess such terrifying strength?

Besides the Scavengers and the Tree Spirits, did there exist other forms of power he had never encountered before?

"So, what are your thoughts?"

"The passage is too narrow for us to maneuver. We could try blasting an opening directly into the research institute from the outside..."

"No."

Boris shook his head and said, "The research institute contains many confidential documents from the Wanling Technology Company. Some of the data collected by the Federation in recent years is also temporarily stored inside. When I came, I received orders from above to preserve the integrity of the research institute's data as much as possible, unless absolutely necessary."

"I see... That's a bit troublesome then..."

The accompanying deputy commander said softly, then pondered for a moment and added, "We just detected that some of the space jump devices are still running. Could we send a team inside the research institute to observe using the devices?"

Boris raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and said, "No, there's no need. Soldiers will be affected for a period of time after using the jump devices. It wouldn't be effective even if they went in. By the way, is the perimeter sealed off?"

"It's being sealed off."

"Okay, let's wait a little longer."

Boris stared intently at the passage ahead and said in a deep voice, "We just received news from headquarters that they have uploaded some of the unknown creature's gene samples and are analyzing the gene sequence. I believe the results will be available soon."

The deputy commander's expression turned solemn.

"Understood."

...

Two hours later.

"Report! Chairman! Urgent situation report!"

At the Wanling Technology Company's North District headquarters, the lab director hurriedly pushed open Ji Haiting's office door, looking flustered.

The director was momentarily stunned to see other people in Ji Haiting's office.

Ji Haiting rarely saw the lab director so flustered. He nodded to signal the two subordinates he was talking to to stand aside, then raised his hand and said, "It's alright, continue. Is there any new information from the branch research institute?"

"No."

The lab director shook his head, opened the documents in his hand, walked over to Ji Haiting, and continued, "Some time ago, we uploaded the gene information of the captured unknown creature to the Soul Energy Mainframe Network. The feedback has just come back, confirming that the creature is a species called 'Licker.' This creature was created through genetic modification and may not belong to our realm. It is an alien species."

"Licker..."

Ji Haiting muttered to himself.

A life form from another realm?

Artificially cultivated?

Ji Haiting became secretly vigilant.

It seemed that there might be a large force behind Fang Heng.

The lab director placed the document on the table and continued, "This creature is a product of a special virus mutation, possessing considerable attack strength, agility, and viral infection capabilities."

"The Lickers we encountered have undergone high-intensity modifications, greatly enhancing their vitality and attack strength. Even the infection ability of the modified Lickers is significantly different from that of ordinary Lickers. Furthermore, that unusual self-healing ability is also something that basic Lickers do not possess."

Ji Haifeng nodded slightly, "Okay, continue."

The lab director took a deep breath, his expression grave, and said, "It's Ouroboros."

The eternal calamity...

Related to that young man?

Ji Haiting fell into deep thought.

That race that even the Scavengers feared.

It had actually appeared in their world.

"The Soul Energy has already transmitted the corresponding data and provided the corresponding antidote configuration. Injecting this antidote into the Lickers can greatly suppress their self-healing ability. However, we currently lack several key ingredients, resulting in low production."

The lab director saw that Ji Haiting was still deep in thought and didn't say anything, so he didn't dare to say more and stood cautiously to the side.

After a moment, Ji Haiting looked up and said, "Okay, immediately start producing the antidote. After it's finished, take all the antidote to Boris. Also, who else knows about the Ouroboros matter?"

"After receiving the feedback, I immediately came to report to you. Only my two subordinates know the exact information, and then..."

The lab director stopped speaking and looked at the remaining two people in the room.

"Okay, the confidentiality level of this matter is top secret. It ends here. No one else is allowed to know, understand?"

"Yes! Understood!"

Ji Haiting looked at the lab director, who was still hesitant, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"Chairman, we triggered the Soul Energy Network's alarm message when we uploaded the Licker information for comparison. The Soul Energy Network has already sent feedback, asking us about the specific situation," the lab director said, pausing before asking, "How should we respond?"

Ji Haiting pursed his lips and thought for a moment, "Find a way to fool them."

"Okay, I will reply that it was a data error, but according to the established procedure, the Scavengers might send someone to investigate."

Ji Haiting waved his hand, "Go, try to deal with it as soon as possible and cover it up."

"Okay!"

The lab director nodded and hurried off to work.

Ji Haiting frowned tightly.

Trouble!

He didn't expect that the suddenly emerging Fang Heng would also attract the Scavengers!

Ji Haiting pondered, his expression becoming even gloomier.

...

[Hint: Player's Zombie Clone (Mutated Infected Body) has obtained research information related to the Tree Spirit race during the search].

[Hint: Transferring the relevant intelligence data to the Tree Speaker Alliance can obtain some Tree Speaker Alliance related contribution points, friendship...].

[Hint: Player's Zombie Clone (Mutated Infected Body)...].

Below the Wanling Company's branch research institute, the zombie clones threw the data files obtained from inside the research institute one by one in front of Fang Heng.

Fang Heng picked up the files one by one and put them back into his backpack.

These were all used to exchange for Tree Speaker Alliance friendship!
