Chapter 122: Chapter 97 Sterilization Procedure
Hearing the commotion from behind, the three people turned around in unison, their expressions somewhat bewildered.
Zhou Yuan ran at high speed, quickly charging into the "safe zone." The purple-red fungal wave and the mutants behind her immediately stopped, not daring to advance a single step further. The mutated animals let out unwilling low growls, then slowly retreated.
"Another one, hahaha..." The young European man with glasses, wearing a checkered shirt and looking like a coder, pushed his glasses and let out a somewhat meaningful laugh.
"So handsome?" A blonde girl with blue eyes, dressed in a black witch’s hat and robe, holding a magic wand, exclaimed in surprise, her eyes lighting up.
—Because this mission involved a "Western mansion," Zhou Yuan had adjusted her face to look European while retaining her high charm.
"Who are you?" The last person, a middle-aged white man with a serious expression, about six feet three inches tall, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, with well-developed muscles on his arms and legs, asked.
This mission also included "teammates"? But they might as well be "enemies"... Zhou Yuan quickly assessed the three, with remarks popping up one by one from the Eyes of Identification.
[A coder from the "Hacker Empire," a level-3 extraordinary person.]
[A witch from "Omega," a level-3 extraordinary person, codenamed "Hong Fangqi" in the organization.]
[A Cleaner from "Eternal Gene," a level-4 extraordinary person.]
The name of this organization, Hacker Empire, was taken from the movie The Matrix, indicating that all its members were programmers specializing in electronic information technology.
Omega was a secret organization with only 54 official members who used playing cards as their codenames. Everyone who obtained an official codename was undoubtedly a top-tier extraordinary person.
Eternal Gene, like Spark Technology, was a world-class giant enterprise involved in pharmaceuticals, genetics, and biology. All of its extraordinary persons were highly skilled, equipped with biological implants, and possessed exceptional combat prowess.
Zhou Yuan was secretly amazed that all three came from internationally renowned supernatural organizations.
Now, this was interesting...
Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "My name is Bear Grylls. I will show you how to survive in some of the world’s harshest environments. This time, I am in South America’s Amazon Tropical Rainforest..."
"?"
The three of them were stunned, and the somewhat serious atmosphere was instantly shattered.
The coder from Hacker Empire spoke awkwardly, "No need to say more. We’ll just call you Bear.
My name is Kevin, from the Hacker Empire.
This girl dressed as a witch is called Hong Fangqi, from Omega. We are both level-3.
This man here is from Eternal Gene. Just call him West. He’s level-4.
Let’s lay things out in the open. We all have our own goals here. As long as our aims don’t conflict, it’s best to team up because, as you’ve seen, the situation here makes it really difficult to go solo."
So straightforward?
Zhou Yuan was somewhat surprised, then replied, "I am from the[Children of the Forest]church."
The Children of the Forest church worshiped the Nature Goddess, and its members were genuine environmentalists engaged in tree planting, water purification, and wildlife protection...
—When going out, Zhou Yuan still felt it was best to use a fake identity whenever possible. Safety first.
"Oh, Children of the Forest, that makes sense." Kevin nodded. If these fungi were to leak out, they would undoubtedly cause severe harm to the Amazon Rainforest. This group of environmentalists surely wouldn’t stand by and do nothing.
But who would have thought that the Children of the Forest’s intelligence was so reliable?
Even the Control Bureau hadn’t gotten this information, yet they knew.
"I’m here to investigate a few things. Hong Fangqi is here for training. West’s goal is similar to yours—to eliminate the fungi and prevent them from leaking out and affecting the ecosystem."
Kevin said, glancing meaningfully at West.
After all, this experiment looked very much like something Eternal Gene might have done.
Eternal Gene had caused similar accidents before—in an African lab 47 years ago, a highly lethal virus leaked out, killing 210,000 residents in just three days.
To prevent the virus from spreading through the air, water, and soil, Eternal Gene, in consultation with the Federation, decided to destroy the area with a hydrogen bomb.
This disaster nearly bankrupted and dismantled Eternal Gene.
Since then, although Eternal Gene hadn’t caused major accidents, they still managed to create quite a few problems.
After all, genetic and biological modification fields often involved ethically and morally questionable activities, kept away from public scrutiny.
West remained expressionless, offering no response.
"Since our goals don’t conflict, why don’t we exchange information?"
Zhou Yuan suggested, hoping to glean some useful information from the three.
Kevin didn’t hold back: "This mansion was built by a super-rich American, who publicly claimed it was his vacation spot. But in reality... it’s clearly a secret lab for certain organizations.
These unusual fungi are lab products, possessing terrifying infectious qualities. Even extraordinary people like us become mutated in a short time if infected, our minds controlled, turning us into slaves of the fungi.
To stop the fungi from spreading, the best way is to find that secret lab and activate the sterilization program."
"Sterilization program? The experimental area is about ten kilometers long altogether, such a vast area. What kind of sterilization program would work?" Zhou Yuan raised an eyebrow.
Kevin calmly adjusted his glasses, "A hydrogen bomb."
Gasp... Zhou Yuan sucked in a breath. A hydrogen bomb!
Detonating a hydrogen bomb in the Amazon Rainforest would undoubtedly become international news!
So is my mission here to detonate a hydrogen bomb?
For some reason, Zhou Yuan felt a surge of excitement. After all... it was a hydrogen bomb!
"Don’t waste time. Let’s head inside first and continue our discussion there," Hong Fangqi said.
At this moment, Zhou Yuan noticed that Hong Fangqi was floating three inches off the ground.
She smiled proudly, "This is a witch’s flight ability."
"Witches are supposed to fly on broomsticks, aren’t they?" Zhou Yuan was puzzled.
"What era are you living in? Modern witches don’t use broomsticks anymore; they’re too uncomfortable. Actually, anything related to cleaning can be used for flying."
Hong Fangqi lifted her foot to reveal an alcohol cleaning pad stuck to her sole.
Zhou Yuan: "..."
