742: Chapter 742: Catastrophe!

!

A fatal virus, colorless and odorless.

When it was developed, researchers conducted numerous studies and experiments to make the virus more transmissible.

It underwent many improvements and optimizations.

The current Sakuragi Hana virus can certainly be called the strongest virus in human history.

Once outside a human or animal body, it can spread through media such as dust, airborne particles, and water vapor.

And it can survive effectively for up to a week.

This also means that

if someone is infected with the Sakuragi Hana virus, they must be quarantined and observed for at least a week before it can be confirmed whether they are infected.

And now…

The heavily guarded research base had its gates wide open.

High-pressure atomization of a large concentration of antiviral and sterilizing agents, like smoke, enveloped the base’s only entrance and exit.

This way, the Sakuragi Hana virus wouldn’t drift out and spread into the outside world.

But what about inside the base?

After they entered, the inside was different.

The air within the base always had traces of the Sakuragi Hana virus.

Especially in places like the virus lab, drug efficacy lab, and patient observation areas…

the virus was everywhere.

Even with strict protective gear, one must be extremely careful.

Last time, Hittory led a delegation into the base, took ample protective measures and still ended up getting infected.

There was no other way!

People who enter must either engage in scientific research or be used as test subjects, dying in the name of science.

The very few who could come and go freely were high-ranking members of the conglomerate.

They were not only well-protected but had also been vaccinated with a special medicine long ago.

The setting sun bled like blood.

More and more military vehicles roared along, enlarging the base’s armed exclusion zone.

Formerly a nuclear physics research base, it was well away from the city area.

After the Muto Conglomerate bought it, they acquired the surrounding land to create a private estate.

The surface was planted with fruits and vegetables, while underground secret research was conducted.

Now,

the search troops, under the pretext of military exercises, had relocated all residents within a five-kilometer radius.

To prevent the accidental escape of the virus and its spreading, even poultry and pets were taken away.

Three blockades were formed with the base at the center.

Without permission from the command center, the entry and exit of anyone was met with lethal force.

And as for the Muto Conglomerate, the instigators of this disaster,

everyone, including the chairman Mutoh Yoshio, following the association’s member roster, was caught and brought here.

Some family members of high-ranking conglomerate officials weren’t spared either.

Not far from the base entryway, a monitoring area was established.

All would be subject to interrogation.

And during the questioning,

of course, the priority was to collect samples of the strange disease, find the antidote, and secure the related scientific research data and materials…

In the evening,

Droning,

the sky flickered with aviation lights as a fleet of helicopters roared in.

A squad from the Star Federation’s Marine Corps, armed to the teeth, arrived to take up positions.

Therefore,

it was foreseeable that, as time went by, more countries, more personnel, and more equipment would descend upon the scene.

And for the Muto Conglomerate, this massive operation was an absolute catastrophe.

“It’s over!

Completely done for!”

Mutoh Yoshio, the chairman of the group, felt an immense sorrow.

In his interrogations, he repeatedly declared to the investigators that he had no intention of harming all of humanity.

But who was to blame for today’s situation?

Of course, it was that damn Wu Jie!

Because of his conflicts with Yuan Shikui, Wu Jie caused a run on Tianyuan He Ying Credit, resulting in heavy losses…

Because of the huge capital loss, they had to resort to desperate measures, but then their plan to kidnap Tang Xiao and extort Wu Jie failed…

Because of the risk of retaliation, they chose to collaborate with Rosdelle Auxiliary Business Association, but the plan was leaked…

As a result,

The Muto Conglomerate was brought to this day all thanks to Wu Jie.

It was his actions that set off a chain reaction, leading to the conglomerate’s tragic day.

Of course,

Mutoh Yoshio knew that this disaster also came from ‘pig teammates.’

The Sakuragi Hana virus was already strong, and the special medicine could both prevent and treat it.

Yet, Rosdelle Auxiliary Business Association, being overly cautious,

insisted on taking some back for their own research, to fully test and confirm its effectiveness, before deciding to collaborate further.

And what happened?

They got infected on the plane, the delegation members returned to the base, and received emergency treatment.

Whether it was a leak in communication or an issue with insiders, the matter was exposed.

And now,

just as they were recovering, Hittory and the others experienced the painful infiltration of the strange disease and just how timely and effective the antidote was.

They even vowed to enhance cooperation and be more cautious to prevent leaks.

They even claimed they would dispatch a cruise ship to transfer the secret research to the sea…

And the result?

Damnit!

It was them who wanted to cooperate, and it was them who wanted to conduct the tests to authenticate.

And who leaked the secrets and let the cat out of the bag?

Still, it was them.

Now, with multiple countries around the globe joining forces to exert pressure, as the catastrophic disaster approached, those who betrayed without hesitation, were still them.

Just like this.

Hittory, who had previously been very proactive about cooperation, was now colluding with the armored troops, acting as a guide.

Since he had been infected and cured, and had been vaccinated with the specific drug, he didn’t wear any protective gear while leading the Anti-Chemical Soldiers deep into the base, looting it as if pillaging.

All the years of research achievements of the Muto Conglomerate were plundered.

This really is, the more proactive they are during cooperation, the more thorough they are in betrayal.

What is the epitome of profit seeking and putting interests above everything else?

Now, Mutoh Yoshio finally saw it clearly.

And it figures.

Of course, the fund immediately changed its stance, assisting with the investigation without hesitation.

The Star Federation had even prepared aircraft carrier strike groups and strategic bombers.

The other neighboring countries were also on standby with their fighters and missiles at the ready.

At this point, who the hell would dare to resist?

Lets not talk about the Rosdelle Auxiliary Business Association; even those who had previously taken bribes and given covert protection to the Muto Conglomerate chose to betray and turn against us, wishing they could exterminate the entire conglomerate.

The most chilling part for him was the defection of the members within the conglomerate.

For the sake of surviving, to atone for their crimes…

there were people willing to denounce and expose.

Mutoh Yoshio’s heart was bleeding.

…

The sun set in the west.

Night fell, but the area around the base was still brightly lit.

The cleanup of the base was ongoing, while the interrogation of the conglomerate members, especially the researchers, continued inexorably.

Without having dinner, without even a drop of water, Mutoh Yoshio was interrogated by different departments multiple times within just a couple of hours.

All sorts of questioning, threats and intimidations, and angry demands had nearly weakened Mutoh Yoshio’s spirit.

Within the vast Muto Conglomerate, one person was an exception.

And that was Muto Sami.

After her fight with Tang Xiao on the cruise ship, Muto Sami was seriously injured and then publicly humiliated by people like Nangong Yao.

Because Hittory reached a cooperation agreement with Mutoh Yoshio, she, despite her serious injuries, was spared from being thrown into the sea to feed the sharks, like the trader Kun Qianxi was.

After being urgently airlifted back, Muto Sami had been in the hospital for treatment.

Still in the healing phase, Muto Sami, though captured, faced a very simple investigation.

The interrogation was over within a few short minutes.

Afterwards, other relatives, especially the children still in school…

What could they understand?

They couldn’t possibly know about the Sakuragi Hana virus and were obviously innocent.

Those who were interrogated and confirmed to have no connection were to be taken to another place for solitary confinement.

As for Mutoh Yoshio…

Clearly, he was bound to be interrogated over and over again.

Policemen followed him closely at all times to prevent him from fleeing out of fear of the crimes or committing suicide.

Seeing Muto Sami and others being led away from afar, Mutoh Yoshio couldn’t hold back anymore and shouted:

“Sami!

If you never see me again, go to a place where cherry blossoms bloom and pour a drink for me!!”

This shout left the accompanying police officers somewhat perplexed.

What did that mean?

Did Mutoh Yoshio know he was not going to survive?

Was he making his final arrangements?

And not far off.

Muto Sami trembled when she heard these words.

Though they were far apart, their eyes met for an instant.

Muto Sami clearly saw the sadness and unwillingness in the chairman’s eyes.

Given the current situation, such circumstances…

It was evident that the Muto Conglomerate was doomed, and as for Mutoh Yoshio, the chairman, was there any chance for him?

A place where cherry blossoms bloom?

Pouring a drink?

Muto Sami understood immediately.

“Don’t worry, Chairman, I’ll make sure you can rest in peace!” she yelled back loudly.

Yet, Mutoh Yoshio had no time to reply before the police officers led him away.

As a key suspect, of course, he couldn’t just interact with anyone; who knew what hidden code they might be concealing in their words?

Muto Sami bowed deeply.

After the battle with Tang Xiao on the cruise ship and the humiliation by many.

Now, while not fully healed, Muto Sami was diagnosed with AIDS.

Being humiliated in public by people like Nangong Yao had completely warped her mindset.

Holding no more love for life, she only sought rampant revenge.

If she was destined to die of AIDS, and since the chairman and the conglomerate that raised her were now facing disaster…

Then why not destroy the world?

Muto Sami stood up, taking determined steps, with a sinister smile crossing her lips.

Starting that night, Muto Sami and the other children and women who were oblivious of the truth were put into isolation for observation for a week.

Only if they showed no signs of illness after seven days, would they be released.

Muto Sami kept a low profile and endured the seven days; after passing the health check, she went back to a secret base of the conglomerate and began to act stealthily.

She took out the virus secretly kept by Mutoh Yoshio and spread it wildly in crowded places, especially international airports.

She wanted to usher in a biochemical crisis that would bring about the world’s demise…
