Yang Dian and Ned were depressed. The exploration team they went to rescue was a member of the Lewis Research Institute, and the client was also the Lewis Research Institute. After Han Xiao left, the two took a rest for a while, groped carefully, and finally found out when the exploration team disappeared.

The small valley found its target.

However, all members of the exploration team were infected with the death virus, mutated, and had bone spurs protruding all over their bodies. They turned into crazy beasts and were hopeless.

The captain of the exploration team barely maintained a trace of clarity and handed a metal box to the two of them, saying that it was an important material that could be used to develop an antidote to the necrotic virus, and asked the two to take it back to the research institute.

The two could only reluctantly abandon the hopeless exploration team and leave the restricted area with the box. They encountered an accident on the way and were attacked by a herd of animals. In order to protect the metal box, they did not hesitate to use their bodies to protect the box. In the end, they were lucky enough to escape, covered with bruises. Fortunately

The box is intact.

After dragging their exhausted bodies and flying back to Camross, Yang Dian and Ned came to the institute with a guilty heart. They were still resentful for not being able to save the exploration team, and they were ready to be blamed by the institute.

I am mentally prepared and feel that I have betrayed the trust of the client.

A bespectacled man dressed as if he was a senior official stepped out of the elevator and ran quickly towards Yang Dian and the two of them, with hope on his face.

"Two heroes, you are back." He sounded enthusiastic.

Ned was full of apologies, "Mr. Lockett, I'm sorry, we couldn't complete the task."

The bespectacled man Lockette's expression changed, "Did they all get killed?"

"I'm sorry, they are infected with the virus and there is nothing we can do." Yang Dian did not dare to look at Lockette's sad face.

"I don't blame you..." Lockette took off his glasses and wiped his eyes. This gesture made Yang Dian and Ned very uncomfortable. Ned took out the metal box and said: "This is what the exploration team asked us to hand over to

Your relics contain important materials that can solve the source of the dead virus!"

Lockette took the metal box, stroked it, and said in a sad tone, "Oh, it would be great if they could come back. This is their credit. We will never forget that if we make a finished product, we must use their names."

name."

The two of them were convinced, and their eyes were a little hot. Yang Dian sighed: "They are heroes. Failure to save them will be a regret in my life."

"I'm serious. Without you, their hard work would not be transferred. You have done your best. Don't blame yourself for this. If you don't mind, we can treat you for free." Lockette said in a grateful tone.

"No, I can't trouble you anymore." The more grateful Lockette showed, the more embarrassed Yang Dian and Ned became. They hurriedly waved their hands, rejected the invitation, and helped each other to leave. Their backs were straight and full of pride.

Lockette pushed up her glasses, watched the two of them leave, then walked up to Han Xiao, put on a smile and said, "Hello, do you have any business that you want to entrust to our research institute?"

Han Xiao smiled, opened the metal box, and showed Lockette the mutated heart.

"This is the heart infected by the death virus. The material is a very powerful individual."

Lockette's eyes lit up and she smiled, "Please follow me."

Lockette led the way, and Han Xiao followed him into the elevator and arrived at the thirteenth floor. After opening the door, he saw a long white corridor with laboratories on both sides. The windows were double-sided, and some could be seen from the outside.

There are people doing experiments in the laboratory, experimental equipment and materials are stored in some rooms, and there are idle researchers chatting in the corridor.

The thirteenth floor is one of the experimental floors of the Lewis Institute. Lockett led the way and said: "Dead virus has always been an important project of our research. It has been stuck in a bottleneck and lacks active materials. This heart is very important to us.

, maybe you can make a potion in one go. As usual, you can get a finished product after completing the potion. Of course, if you want other rewards, that’s no problem.”

"No, I want the potion." Han Xiao said calmly, pointing to the metal box in Lockette's hand, which was what Yang Dian and Ned handed over, "I thought you already had the materials."

"This? Haha, this is also quite important." Lockette smiled and did not elaborate.

Arriving at a large biological laboratory, Lockette stopped and said, "Please wait outside the door. Unrelated personnel are not allowed to enter the laboratory."

Han Xiao gave the box to Lockette. Lockette walked into the laboratory with two boxes and talked with a senior executive who seemed to be the laboratory director. The two boxes were opened on the table. Han Xiao saw from a distance that another box contained

It's a snow-white egg, I don't know what kind of creature it is.

Lockette and the experimental director were chatting in a low voice. Han Xiao's ears moved, and his level 55 senses picked up the conversation between the two people in the distance.

Experiment Director: "Where are the people on the exploration team? Are they all dead?"

Lockette: "Yeah, those two heroes didn't save anyone."

"Fortunately, the thing has been handed over. It doesn't matter if the person dies. With this heart, we can make the potion quickly. What do the two 'heroes' say?"

"I feel ashamed of our trust. Haha, hiring these superheroes is much more cost-effective than mercenaries. As long as I give them some good reasons, they will even work for us for free, which saves me a budget."

"You didn't reveal your secret, did you?"

"Of course not. They are stupid and naive. They almost cried when they lied a few words. It is best to coax such so-called heroes. Praise and gratitude can make them dizzy. When they left, they thought they had done something great.

Such a great thing, I almost laughed out loud."

"Don't offend superheroes, try to make friends with them."

"Don't worry, I left a good impression on them. If you have anything to do next time, you can still come to them. As long as you make up a good reason, they will definitely not refuse."

Han Xiao's eyes flashed, his expression remained unchanged, and he waited quietly.

Not long after, Lockette ended the conversation, returned to the door, and said with a polite smile: "It takes a day to make the potion. If you don't mind, we will provide a room to rest, and the potion will be handed over to you as soon as possible."

"Okay." Han Xiao had no objection.

The two took the elevator to the living area floor. Han Xiao was assigned to a guest suite. Lockette asked some areas not to wander around before leaving with an excuse.

Han Xiao checked to see if there were cameras in the room and found two, so he took out his computer, hacked into the network, controlled the cameras in the room, and played the freeze-frame pictures in a loop.

Then without any ceremony, he directly hacked into the institute's database and browsed through various research projects.

[Elementary Programming] has reached the full level. His hacking skills are enough to break through most of the network firewalls of Planet Aquamarine. Except for the secrets of the Six Nations, Germination Headquarters, the core of the darknet and other key networks of major forces, it is impossible to invade. A small research institute

If you can't stop him, if you enter an uninhabited area and don't trigger the institute's network alarm, he will clear the traces after reading it and no one will know that he has invaded the network.

Opening the institute's project file, projects flashed across the screen.

"Green lizard potion, bull hormone, thunderclaw extract, grouper plague pathogen..."

Many of the names were potions obtained by players in previous lives. After looking at them for a while, he finally saw the dead virus project. The full name was [Dead Virus Enhancer]. In the detailed records of the project, there were allocations from various consortiums.

, this is an experiment to enhance physical fitness. As for the antidote to the dead virus that Luckett told Yang Dian and Ned, the institute has not conducted research in this area at all.

Han Xiao's eyes flickered, and he quickly tapped the keyboard to implant the program.
