Chapter 159: Mission Complete and Reward (Part 1)

“Damn it! What was that serum? For it to actually restrain one of my best works!”

In the underground base under the sanatorium, Wesker, who was originally sitting comfortably on the metal chair, finally showed irritation and anger in his voice.

However, at that moment, the virtual image of a young girl in a white shirt suddenly appeared in front of him. Rows of data flashed quickly in her eyes as she spoke rapidly. “Emergency! Emergency!”

“I’ve detected the formation of a small party of the Federation Airforce headed toward us from Storm City. Their estimated arrival time is 10 minutes!”

In the corner of the virtual screen, a 3D simulation appeared. In the dark night, five red dots were closing in the 3D image that represented Roguetown!

“What?” Under his shades, Wesker had a shocked expression.

“Received one unencrypted channel message. The content mentions that the Fifth Airforce Corp of the Federation from Storm City is conducting a military exercise, and they will enter the airspace above Roguetown!”

“Military exercise? To give an excuse that could only trick children? Unspeakable!”

“Ten minutes…”

Under his shades, Wesker looked uncertain. After thinking for a few seconds, he raised his head and made a decision.

“Notify everyone that we will completely evacuate the place in ten minutes and then initiate the self-destruct sequence!” said Wesker coldly. After that, he stood up before turning around to leave.

Amidst the pouring rain, a large black shuttle fighter that looked like an F-117 was gradually lifted above ground through the exit of the underground base beneath the sanatorium.

After that, white and blue energy flames burst from the bottom of the black shuttle fighter as it slowly lifted into the air in the rain. After it reached an elevation of around 10 meters above the building, it started to accelerate, and before long, it had become just a bright dot in the sky above Roguetown.

Boom!

Less than 30 seconds after the fighter jet left, with a loud bang, various locations within Roguetown started to explode, and white balls of energy erupted.

Places everywhere started to collapse, and, after these explosions, the balls of energy did not clash with each other. Instead, they merged. In the end, all of Roguetown was completely surrounded by a huge white energy ball, and, with a huge bang loud enough to silence thunder, the place turned into an empty field.

The high-energy bombs of this sort in the game generated extremely high temperatures and energy after the explosion. It destroyed everything within range and did not leave any difficult-to-deal-with radiation behind as pollution. As such, it was—in a sense—a sort of more “humane” weapon.

Of course, this kind of humane weapon was being used to destroy evidence of an inhumane biological experiment, so perhaps it seemed like more of an insult. On the ground behind a hill in a forest outside Roguetown, a group of people whose HP was still reduced by at least half due to the shockwaves created by the explosion slowly stood up. As they looked at the sunken area that was at least a dozen meters deep, they could not help but feel a little bit fortunate.

After that came the sense of relief and joy that came when one completed missions!

Of course, for the NPCs—including three remaining guard soldiers, Harley, and the tourists that numbered less than 20—the scene before their eyes was, without a doubt, an ending that could hardly be accepted. The players who ultimately made it out were only Feng Luo, Sister Rui, Brother Ling, Sha Lang, and another Light Armor Warrior. A total of five. Their losses were definitely quite heavy.

“It’s a good thing Locke is still alive. At least the city-building mission can be considered complete!” Brother Ling’s expression was still a happy one because the fat Guard Bureau director, who had already completely exhausted himself as he ran for his life earlier and was currently lying on the ground and refusing to get up, was still alive.

At least the mission was completed. Or was it?

“But how should we get out now?” the Light Armor Warrior asked Brother Ling. “This is deep inside the mountain, after all!”

“Our camouflage chip has a GPS function. After the communication lockdown is released—”

Before Brother Ling could finish, a loud, piercing sound came from the sky between the roars of thunder. In the sky, a huge wing-shaped aircraft called “Sky Castle” and four fighter jet escorts slowly appeared.

“Thank you, everyone. You’ve made great contributions toward the Federation. If it weren’t for you, we would never have been able to know that the Umbrella Corporation was actually so crazy. These villains will face severe punishment before the law!”

A middle-aged man wearing the colonel military badge on his shoulder and standing in front of the wing-shaped spacecraft shook the hands of each of the five players. Behind him, two fully equipped Federation soldiers were taking away Locke, who was completely pale.

Harley and the other three soldiers were also escorted to a rest cabin on the spacecraft. However, before they left, Feng Luo received a message notifying him that his approval rating with Harley turned into “Approved.”

Of course, compared to the approval rating with Harley, what was more important to Feng Luo were the rows of system notification that kept appearing.

Story Mission “Biohazard: Omen” has finished. Your Mission Performance Rating was S−. Overall ranking: No. 1

You’ve received experience: 18,555; Merit points: 150.

You’ve received the following items: Primary Evolution Virus (T) Enhancement Potion, Type 4 (Perfect Grade); Received Unique Reward: Tyrant (Pistol).

It had been a somewhat difficult mission, and the rich rewards exceeded Feng Luo’s expectations. Perhaps it was because it was the beginning of a series of Epic-level missions!

Over 10,000 experience was considered decent, but it was still only a few percentage points of a full level, after all. However, the 150 merit points were definitely something to be called “extremely generous.” Feng Luo currently had only a little over 300 merit points. With these 150 merit points, he had directly surpassed the huge 500-point threshold, which was enough to exchange for a First-class Soldier military rank.

But the really good things were undoubtedly the latter two item rewards.

Primary Evolution Virus (T) Enhancement Potion, Type 7

100% integration success rate after use. Receives: Agility 10, HP 200, Movement Speed 10%, slight increase in visual perception. Acquire partial resistance to mutation of Primary Evolution Virus.

Grade: Perfect.

A Perfect-grade enhancement potion. Its stats were several times stronger than the “Excellent” enhancement potion dropped by the Tyrant earlier. Moreover, the stat increases of this Enhancement Potion with the “Type 7” suffix were definitely well-suited to Snipers. That was because the bonus was to Agility, the main stat of Sniper players. At the same time, it increased movement speed by 10 percent and increased visual perception, both of which were extremely important to Snipers.

Of course, the most, most, most important thing was that the integration success rate was 100 percent, so there was no need to worry about a drop in stats after failure!

That alone made it worth ten times more than the “Excellent” enhancement potion from before. In terms of market value, there were definitely wealthy people who would be willing to spend millions of credits to purchase it.

Feng Luo guessed that if Lin Aotian were still around after the breakout, naming a price of three to four million credits would probably make him buy it. Of course, Feng Luo would never sell it. He was definitely going to keep it for himself. Although he already had resistance to the Evolution Virus, the extent of the effects of the potion was still unclear. Still, something this rare was definitely worth a try.

Apart from the potion, the other unique reward, the pistol, was even more satisfying for Feng Luo. This pistol, which was named “Tyrant,” also had a violent and powerful outward appearance. Because… it was a retro-looking, large bronze revolver!
