Fatal Shot
chapter-531

"Report. Please evacuate Hurricane Building immediately due to an emergency situation." Guards inside the weaponized patrol spacecraft moving at high-speed in the sky shouted towards the people below them.

Inside the patrol vehicle, Feng Luo grimaced as he looked at a screen.

"Ah! Help, help me..." On a surveillance screen, an office lady in formal work attire was running towards a passage while extremely scared.

Behind her was a man pursuing her with a limp. He was limping because it looked like half of his right leg had been bitten off. As he ran, a long trail of blood was left behind him.

The woman was running away in panic. As she reached a corner and turned, she saw a black man wearing a security guard uniform standing some distance in front of her. As she saw the man, she screamed loudly to call for help.

"Ah!" However, as she got closer, she screamed again.

The man's body suddenly fell down, exposing his completely chewed off internal organs as well as his empty back. Additionally, a skinless and bloody monster sprawled on the ground raised its head to look at her.

"Ah… Someone released the virus used in Silvermoon City in the Hurricane Building. The situation is dire at the moment. The number of infected people has exceeded 100..." The handsome guard NPC Lieutenant said with a serious and dark expression while looking at the screen where the woman was being bitten to death.

The scene inside the building was a familiar scene for Feng Luo. It was a scene after a T-virus infection.

Something had happened at the Hurricane Building. Someone released the Evolution Virus inside the building.

Umbrella Corporation.

After Feng Luo received this information, he knew that the incident was probably related to Sally.

...

"Stop right there! The Hurricane Building has been locked down due to the appearance of the virus. No adventurers are allowed to enter at the moment!" When the patrol spacecraft landed on the roof of the Hurricane Building; Feng Luo, Phoenix, and Big Pineapple rushed down. However, they were barred from entering the building by two guard soldiers guarding the entrance.

"We're special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigations. We need to enter immediately." Feng Luo and the others quickly showed them their special agent badges.

"You're still not allowed even if you are special agents. This incident is not under the jurisdiction of your Federal Bureau of Investigations." The two guard soldiers did not back down.

"Let them in!" The handsome NPC Lieutenant walked over and ordered the two guards.

"This... Alright then." The two guard soldiers finally let up.

"Thank you." Feng Luo thanked them and immediately prepared to enter.

However, as soon as he entered the building and walked into the passage, he saw several players being "escorted" out of the building by a group of guard soldiers wearing protection uniforms.

Upon seeing Feng Luo, Orange, who wore a doctor's white uniform, shouted in surprise, "Brother Feng!"

"Hold on." Feng Luo said.

These guard soldiers had better attitudes. They did not speak after seeing Feng Luo and the other two's badges.

"Sorry, brother Feng. We could not complete your request. Some people entered the lab and took some stuff." Unlike the others who became more relaxed after seeing Feng Luo, the captain, My World, looked ashamed.

The ones that Feng Luo thought could help him was My World's team. The six of them were very trustworthy, and they were definitely players who were closest to Feng Luo in Storm City.

Their gears and items were quite decent. Apart from the Excellent Grade gears Feng Luo gave each of them back then, they also managed to earn a decent amount from selling the Permanent Enhancement Potion they got in Silvermoon City at a slightly lower price at Feng Luo's advice.

After that, they used the credits earned to change the equipment of everyone in the team.

Now, though their equipment wasn't of the highest grade, they were good enough to be called above average items. Additionally, the main fighters of the team had good combat awareness, so Feng Luo was certain that they were capable of taking on that defense mission.

However, from what My World said, it was clear that something had happened on Lin's side.

"How did they get in? Was it a forced explosion?" Feng Luo asked calmly.

Feng Luo knew that Lin's lab, a biology lab that conducted multiple highly hazardous experiments, had a tight defense. Mechanical weapons and laser passageways were some of the defense mechanisms installed at the lab, one could say that it was an impenetrable fortress where even a fly would not be able to enter without authorization.

The standard of defense was at least ten times stronger than the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group base. People without authorization would not have been able to enter it.

"We were standing guard at the lab this afternoon just like you asked. Although nothing happened throughout, we kept our attention up 120% and did not allow any player into the lab. At around eight o'clock, an NPC called Aike came and said he wanted to meet Master Lin. It looked like he and Master Lin knew each other. After we obtained her permission, we let him in. Unexpectedly, after he entered, he glanced at us. The system notified us that we had been attacked by a Mental Type Force attack, and we lost control of our body momentarily. Master Lin also ignorantly used her authority to switch off all of the lab's defense systems. Then, that person called Aike injected something into each of us, and all of our characters became unconscious. The thing was that even though we were unconscious, we could still vaguely hear something. In the unconscious state, we heard someone enter and it also sounded like they had taken something from the lab. Following that, we heard someone shouting very loudly. It also sounded as if there were battles. Then after that, we woke up one by one. Just as we woke up, these guard soldiers rushed to us and arrested each of us. They said that there was a biohazard crisis and people from our lab had to be quarantined and investigated." My World and the other five players spoke together, finishing each other's sentences before completing a summary that described the entire situation.

"In terms of the quarantine, I'll try to do something about it. But do you know what was taken? Also, what about the little girl?" Feng Luo asked.

"They took the G-virus original strain as well as the production and experiment information chip of the G-virus." Lin, who was wearing her technology spectacles, walked over at that moment. Behind her was a guard soldier carrying the pale and unconscious Sally in his arms. On Sally's arm, there were several pricks that looked like signs of new injections.

Feng Luo became dumbfounded after hearing her words. "The information chip containing data of the G-virus... Wasn't it said that it could only be extracted after she is treated? Why is it..."

"In the current situation, it's not impossible to forcefully extract it. It is only that her treatment is not yet fully complete, so if we do that, it would greatly affect her body. The original G-virus in her body has also changed due to this incident. Even I don't know what's going to happen next." Lin's eyes were dead cold. The Master Level NPC young woman was clearly very angry within.

"Damn it!" Though Feng Luo knew that everything in the game was virtual, when he looked at this unfortunate little girl, he could not help but curse coldly.

He had confirmed that it was part of the Legendary hidden mission. He was the only one who underestimated the difficulty of the mission.

A legendary mission. A mission of that level would never be easy to accomplish.

For example, the situation right now was that an advanced NPC who possessed the Force had appeared. This was the real difficulty of the legendary mission.

From what My World said, the incident was similar to the situation described by the middle-aged NPC earlier.

A Mental Type Force. Could this be the "spy" behind the scenes who manipulated the middle-aged NPC earlier? Did the two missions overlap?

"I need you to go and retrieve the G-virus information chip, and Sally's necklace." Lin said.

"Sally's necklace?" Feng Luo raised his head to look at Lin.

"The G-virus original strain is hidden in the pendant of the necklace. I found out about this a long time ago. To be safe, I cracked the biometric identification early and had already switched the items inside. Right now, there is a Star Galaxy era proton tracker inside the pendant. Fluctuations will be left behind anywhere it passes through. Even the most advanced encrypted passcode chests or suitcases won't be able to completely isolate and block off these undulating waves." Lin pushed her technology spectacles up her nose as she spoke very coldly.

"A tracker, that's great!" Feng Luo was shocked after hearing that piece of news. After that, a savage smile appeared on his face.
