nSeveral vines quickly spread down and once again wrapped around Deng Xin, lifting her into the air.

n“Remember, don’t make any noise. If Old Black comes in to investigate, don’t let him find you. Otherwise, you’ll be killed by the vines immediately.”

nWhile speaking, Fang Heng controlled the vine zombie to drag Deng Xin into the darkness. Then, he changed to another person to interrogate.

nHe took all the equipment from the three of them and checked the information carefully to make sure that their answers were the same.

nAfter doing all this, Fang Heng turned on the flashlight and controlled the two vine zombies to explore the passage behind the cabinet.

nQiu Yaokang’s analysis was right.

nThe hardware store indeed had the G-virus!

nThis was a big win!

nFang Heng rubbed his fists.

nThe G-virus could greatly increase the efficiency of the shelter’s research at this stage!

nIt was more valuable than the T-virus!

nBehind the hidden passage was a staircase that went straight down.

nFollowing the stairs, Fang Heng entered the basement hall.

nThe interior of the basement was very clean. There were a few sofas, wooden tables and wooden chairs.

nThe safe was placed in a very conspicuous corner.

nIn addition, there was a side door next to the basement.

nTo be safe, Fang Heng carefully controlled the vine zombie to open the side door and check it.

nIt was a storage room.

nThere was still a lot of canned food and bottled water left in it.

nIf ordinary players discovered this, it would be considered a small fortune.

nHowever, Fang Heng was not interested.

nHe even complained that they were too heavy.

nReturning to the safe, Fang Heng immediately entered the password.

n{eavan

nClick!

nThe safe door opened.

nA medicine box lay quietly in the safe.

nThere were a total of 18 bottles, but now there were only two left.

n(Hint: You have acquired the defective G-virus*2.

nHint: You have completed the mission-Qiu Yaokang’s confusion.

nHint: Please look for Qiu Yaokang to receive the mission reward.

nFound it!

nBut why was it a defective G-virus?

nAfter all this time, it turned out to be a defective product?

nFang Heng was puzzled. He tried to search the basement hall.

nHe tried to look through the cabinet.

n‘There was a postcard from Pine City and an employee ID card.

n(Postcard

n“Lucas, a lot of people were wondering why you suddenly chose to resign.”

n“Everyone says you don’t like life at the company.”

n“Inoticed something after you left.”

n“Some of the G-virus that was supposed to be discarded in the experiment didn’t match.”

n“I checked the records. You were on duty that day.”

n“Uh… I didn’t mean to doubt you.”

n“know your daughter is seriously ill.”

n“But the G-virus was eliminated.”

n“Okay.”

n“I just want to tell you that I have concealed this matter.”

n“In any case, as your friend, I can only wish you good luck.”

n(Hint: You have obtained an item-postcard.

nHint: You have obtained an item-employee work permit (Lucas).

nIt turned out that the hardware store owner used to be a staff member of the Meteorite Company.

nHe had stolen the G-virus, which was supposed to be destroyed, from the company to save his daughter’s life.

nIt matched.

nFang Heng thought about it and roughly sorted out his thoughts. He muttered to himself.

n“What a coincidence, it’s from Pine City again…”

n‘Was Pine City’s Meteorite Company related to the development of the G-virus?

nWhile he was thinking, Fang Heng put his employee ID card and postcard back into his backpack.

nHe returned upstairs.

nFang Heng placed Deng Xin, who was suspended in mid-air, down alone.

n“Did you find the G-virus?”

nFang Heng didn’t answer. He just said, “Do one last thing for me.”

n“Go ahead.”

n“Go outside and lure your employer in. After you do this, I’ll let you and your companions leave. I’m a man of my word.”

nTang Xun and Mu Zikun, who were hanging high in the air, heard Fang Heng’s words and immediately looked pleading.

nDeng Xin looked at her two teammates in the sky and nodded at them. Then, she turned her head to look at Fang Heng.

n“Lhope you’ll keep your promise.”

n“Of course, I promise.”

nFang Heng said as he hid at the door and watched Deng Xin leave the hardware store.

nDeng Xin and Old Black exchanged a few words outside.

nOld Black hesitated for a moment.

nBut in the end, he couldn’t resist her persuasion and walked into the hardware store with Deng Xin.

n‘As soon as he stepped into the room, Old Black realized that something was wrong.

nHowever, before he could react, Fang Heng had already aimed his gun at Old Black’s face.

n“Bang! Bang!”

nTang Xun and the other two, who were tied up in the air, fell to the ground.

n“Now you can scram.”

nDeng Xin and the other two quickly left the room as if they had been pardoned.

nOld Black frowned.

nHis eyes flickered as he watched Deng Xin and the other two leave.

nHe realized that he had been deceived and that the attacker had come for him.

nOld Black finally opened his mouth when only he and Fang Heng were left in the hardware store.

nHe asked in a hoarse voice, “Who are you?”

nFang Heng took off the toy mask that he wore on his face.

n“Long time no see. Is it Old Black? Or Old Grey?”

nOld Black looked at Fang Heng and was surprised at first, then he laughed.

n“So it’s you, Fang Heng. When I received your mission video, I thought you were pretty good.”

n“To be honest, I didn’t expect anyone to survive in that kind of environment.”

nOld Black did not show any guilt or remorse. He even used the tone of an old friend to tease him.

n“But Fang Heng, there are many ways to meet me. Isn’t it inappropriate to use such a method to deceive an old man?”

n“How did you know that there was the G-virus in the hardware store? And about Alex, you also knew that Alex was locked in Hope Town Community Hospital, right?”

n“Hehe.”

nOld Black gradually relaxed. He looked as if he was not afraid of the shotgun in Fang Heng’s hand at all.

nHe even smiled at Fang Heng.

n“Fang Heng, I’ma professional middleman. You can kill me, but it’ll cost you money to get information out of me.”

nFang Heng also sneered.

n“Oh? You’re a professional middleman? Aren’t you a member of the anti-federal organization?”

n“Of course not, but those people from the federation shouldn’t be so detailed.”

nOld Black explained, “There’s still a big difference between me and them. Most importantly, I only work for myself.”

n“But speaking of which, there doesn’t seem to be any deep enmity between the two of us, right?”

n“Moreover, if I’m not wrong, you’ve already obtained the G-virus. You’ve made a huge profit this time. Why don’t we just let bygones be bygones? What do you think?”

nFang Heng looked coldly at Old Black.

nOld Black’s words were at most 30% believable.

nFang Heng did not know how to deal with this kind of thick-skinned people.

n“alright, businessman, let bygones be bygones.”

n“However, as a morally righteous and good citizen, I can choose to hand over dangerous people like you to the federation. I reckon the federation will give me some rewards…”

nFang Heng looked at Old Black with a faint smile… “How are you going to save your life?”

n
