The gunfire continued for a full five minutes until the Lickers in the room no longer appeared. Only then did Fang Heng put away his guns and carefully stepped into the room to investigate.

“Buzz…”

Automatic sensor lights lit up, illuminating the entire hall.

Many elite Dark Knights filed in and began to raise their guns to clean up the remaining Lickers in the secret research hall.

After a while, the gunshots stopped.

Colonel Barker nodded and said, “It’s confirmed that it’s safe!”

Fang Heng looked around the secret research hall and observed.

The first thing he saw was a thick book placed next to the main control platform.

Fang Heng picked up the book on the table.

Found it! Private diary!

Hint: Player obtained item-Ken’s private diary.

7.7

Through Dr. Kailin’s recommendation, I was promoted to become a member of the secret research team for the first-generation virus. I will be in the research team to deeply study the fusion of virus and spiritual energy users.

Through fusion, I believe that we can unlock the secret of eternal life.

12.30

Hila Rui Qi.

After hundreds of experiments, I am sure that we have found the perfect experimental subject.

Her cell tissue has extraordinary strength, can perfectly withstand the virus body erosion and even fusion of the first-generation virus.

She is so perfect…

4.9

Rui Qi and I fell in love.

She is innocent, kind-hearted and she looks really good when she smiles.

Despite the pain of the experiment, she still does her best to cooperate.

Rui Qi and I share the same ideals.

I believe that we can develop a cure for everything so that people will no longer suffer from the pain of illness.

9.6

We have the crystallization of love.

We held a wedding and received everyone’s blessings.

I have a career and also my love.

I am the happiest person in the world.

12.3

What on earth is that?

Rui Qi doesn’t know either. She told me that a few months ago, she started having these horrible dreams.

They were happening more and more.

She felt like something was trying to control her brain.

Was it a mutant worm?

During the investigation, we found a mutant worm body in the first-generation meteorite.

That worm body can control humans. It’s extremely dangerous…

I’m a little scared, but I’m trying to be calm, and I don’t want Rui Qi to worry too much.

7.8

Last night, Rui Qi had another nightmare.

This is definitely not normal postpartum syndrome.

I heard her shouting ‘Ouroboros’.

What is that thing?

12.9

A lot has happened during this time, and Rui Qi’s mental condition is getting worse, and she’s becoming more and more irritable.

The experimental data showed that she was showing signs of losing control.

What should I do?

8.27

Too many things had happened in the past three years.

Rui Qi’s loss of control was a foregone conclusion.

As for me…

I’m a waste, and I can’t change this outcome!

Rui Qi told me that she was willing to make sacrifices, and she was willing to respect my choice. If sacrificing her alone could guarantee everyone’s safety…

Eudora was right.

We have to make a decision.

I love her.

10.28

Rui Qi went missing.

I should have thought of this earlier!

The day before she went missing, she was already acting strangely. She kept telling me that she was sorry and that I had to take good care of Milia.

I knew that it was Eudora’s doing! What on earth did she do to Rui Qi!

11.27

I really want to find Eudora and interrogate her, but I have to take good care of Milia.

What should I do?

2.4

Eight years!

I’ve been looking for Rui Qi for eight years.

I finally heard a terrible truth from an old friend.

They actually…

I hate myself for being too weak and unable to protect Rui Qi!

4.6

He finally agreed to take me to see Rui Qi.

A part of Rui Qi was placed in the high-level research room of the Meteorite Company in Haimu City.

I’ll disguise myself as an experimental personnel and blend in.

It’s great to be able to see Rui Qi with my own eyes.

Milia can finally see her mother.

I’ll think of a way to save her.

…

The contents of the diary ended here.

On the last page, a photo fell out of the notebook.

Fang Heng picked up the photo album from the ground and fell into silence again.

On the photo album was a group photo of a family of three. It should be Ken, Hila and their daughter, Milia.

After reading the entire diary, Fang Heng felt his heart stop.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Heng forced himself to calm down and analyze the contents of the diary.

Eudora.

One of the three pioneers who founded the Meteorite Company.

The Hila experiment should refer to the special experiment of fusing the first-generation virus and psychic Hila Rui Qi.

During the experiment process, Hila lost control.

The experiment was ultimately beyond the Meteorite Company’s control.

Referring to District 7, the description of Hila’s disappearance in the notebook should refer to the fact that after being dismembered by Eudora, Hila’s tissue samples were hidden by the Meteorite Company in every corner of the world.

The problem was…

“Ouroboros…”

Fang Heng muttered to himself.

This was the third time he had seen this name.

The first time was in his own home, the second time was when he was searching for the first-generation meteorite in District 8, and the third time was in Ken’s diary…

What did it represent?

What was the connection with the main storyline?

Also, at the end of the diary…

“Ka…”

Fang Heng heard a soft sound behind him and could not help but look back.

Wallace was tapping on the main control platform in the hall. Tang Bai was standing beside him with his eyes closed and his hands on the main control platform.

“Tang Bai’s special spiritual ability can hack into the electronic system. This method can quickly crack the password in a short period of time.”

Wallace noticed Fang Heng’s gaze. As he operated the platform, he explained to Fang Heng succinctly, “Did you find anything in the book?”

“Yes, before the apocalypse, Hila may have already disapp…”

Fang Heng had just finished speaking when the main control screen in the hall suddenly lit up.

A game hint flashed in front of his eyes.

Hint: Player has completed the current stage of the mission Hila Rui Qi. Player has received 1,000 main storyline contribution points. Player has triggered the next stage of the mission-Hila’s out-of-control tissue sample.

Mission difficulty: SS

Mission description: In the research institute, you seem to have learned some truth about the Hila experiment. However, at this time, danger has already arrived.

Mission requirements: Kill the mutated Hila’s tissue sample.

Mutated Hila’s tissue sample?

Fang Heng’s heart trembled.

At the same time, upon receiving the mission hint, the expressions of Xiao Jing and the others changed drastically.

What was going on? They were going to have a Boss fight?

“Kaka kaka kaka kaka kaka…”

There was a sound coming from the metal door behind the secret research room.

The elite Dark Knights in the hall immediately turned their heads around and aimed their muzzle at the door.

“Bang!!!”

There was a muffled and heavy sound.

Bang Bang!!

Along with the continuous sounds of collisions, a huge dent appeared on the metal door.

It was as if something powerful was continuously banging against the metal door!

Under the continuous banging, a small crack had appeared on the joint between the door and the door frame.

Fang Heng’s pupils constricted.

Small grayish-brown worm bodies continuously came out from the crack in the door.
