 In Brother Ling’s hotel room, Feng Luo put down the curtain that was slightly pulled over. He turned and asked, “Brother Ling, I am curious. How did this trust fund baby sneak into our place?”

Feng Luo immediately realized that the three tourists that entered the sanitarium were Lin Aotian and his two followers. Coincidentally, another two players saw the trio that were chased out of the sanitarium. Immediately, a few plainclothes officer NPCs appeared below. Feng Luo identified them instantly.

Hearing Feng Luo’s question, Brother Ling smiled bitterly. “Didn’t you already say it? He is no doubt a trust fund baby. His dad’s on the company’s board of directors. The board of directors and the senior management have extremely powerful influence. Plus, the company managed by the eldest young master has been developing well. In a larger context, he is helping the young master all the while. According to rumors, even his pretty daughter is also with…”

He trailed off, then continued, “As you know, the boss has health problems. So, most of the time, he doesn’t care about the things in the company, including the construction of the town, this time. He only made a few decisions before. But, the young master is the one who takes care of everything in the company. The candidates for this mission, except for you and Miss Rui, were selected by the young master and his dad, so…”

Brother Ling stopped speaking. After all, he was just a bodyguard, and it was not proper to talk about his boss behind his back.

“All right, even if the mission fails, I don’t lose anything.” Feng Luo shook his head and said, “Brother Ling, now you have to inform everyone so that they can act like real tourists. Stop going around collecting information anymore. Most importantly, do not inquire about news about the sanitarium under the Umbrella Company.”

“To that extent? But, the mission…” Brother Ling hesitated.

“Brother Ling, don’t assume the NPCs in this game to be as easy as other games,” Feng Luo said with a stern expression. “And, in a real situation, it would be more complicated than you imagine. I doubt we can depend on a mere minor investigation to complete this mission. Something may just appear and surprise you in the end.”

Brother Ling frowned and considered for a while. As a senior in the company’s management, he knew that there were a lot of things he has to handle in the real world. Each update was arranged by a different small team from the company. As a result, he didn’t understand War properly.

“What’s the matter?” he asked.

“I’m not sure!” Feng Luo said. “It’s better that we don’t do anything right now. We should just observe the situation quietly for these few days and act like normal tourists. I am 90 percent sure that if we wait two to three days, something will happen!”

Brother Ling nodded. “All right! Brother Feng, I hope you are right.”

In the next three days, all the people behaved like real tourists. They played, shopped, and had nice meals.

Due to the security team spying on them, no one went offline for even a second. They were so glad that they had prepared before the mission. Even though they did not go offline to eat, they survived through the liquid nutrients of the game cabins.

Of course, during these three days, there were so many complaints in the group chat channel. After all, this had happened because Lin Aotian had raised everyone’s suspicions. Otherwise, they could’ve just done their activities freely; they could’ve even found the clues for the task and completed the mission. However, Mr. Lin and his two followers had closed their group channel. The three of them even moved to another hotel, so he didn’t know about all the complaints.

Other than the three of them, one person was doing the task alone. This person was Sha Lang.

In fact, Sha Lang shared the same thought as Feng Luo. He felt that if they all operated together, their identities would easily be exposed. Therefore, after they got off the airship, he took to the task alone. Sometimes, he would report to the group through the group channel.

Over the three days, no one saw a trace of him, and they did not know what was he doing. But, after three days, nothing had changed in Roguetown, just as Feng Luo had said.

Feng Luo was patient because he thought that the biochip was only valid for five days. Hence, he was sure that something had to happen very soon in this five-day period. Nothing had happened in these three days probably because of the conversations between the chief bureau and the Umbrella Corporation.

He did not stop working at all in these three days. In fact, every night, once 24K recovered its energy, he would instruct the Scout Beetle to go out and search for information using its own methods. Even though he had sent the Scout Beetle into the sanitarium a few times, it still could not find the research area where T-virus had been invented or any traces of clinical trials or studies.

******

After wasting three days, all the mission teams from the Lu Conglomerate, with the exception of Feng Luo, started to lose their patience.

The sanitarium owned by the Umbrella Corporation was located on the east side of the town. Guarded by layers of gold alloy password gates, a base was hidden ten floors below ground level. Inside, two people were talking through their communication devices.

A man wearing a black trench coat and a pair of sunglasses sat on a futuristic, silver-colored metal chair. His gold hair, streaked with white, was combed back. His slightly square face gave off an indifferent impression.

“Mr. Wesker, how long you will take to get the final result?”

In front of him, a holoscreen floated on top of the communicator. A man in a white tuxedo was sitting in a luxurious box. His face appeared calm, but his eyes revealed his eagerness as he spoke.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Roaring Dragon Lightwind,” the sunglasses-wear NPC named Wesker answered expressionlessly. “This experiment is very important to me. The use of prisoners for this clinical trial has already alerted the FBI, so the experiment almost had to be suspended. But your men have helped me a lot.

“The adventurer volunteers have better body builds compared to the usual prisoners. Of course, the trial will have a higher chance of success. We just have to wait until tomorrow night. Then you can reveal to all of your directors the surprising results from our cooperation. Also, your followers will get this powerful evolution energy, becoming a crushing force among the adventurers!

“Our cooperation is definitely a win-win situation, Mr. Roaring Dragon Lightwind!” Wesker said expressionlessly into the communicator.

“All right then, I hope you can hurry it up…”

Roaring Dragon Lightwind kept quiet for a while, trying to keep his anxious eyes in check before he hung up the communicator.

At that moment, a virtual girl wearing a white dress appeared in the air in front of Mr. Wesker, and said to him in the synthesized voice of a child, “Mr. Wesker, the fusion process for canine experiment subjects numbers 5 to 15 have been completed. They are ready to go into the actual test!”

At the same time, a snow-white wall a few meters from Mr. Wesker slowly transformed into a transparent screen. Behind the screen, ten hairless, decomposing zombie dogs with bloody flesh were locked up in a closed room. They were huddled together, tearing up a human corpse.

Eventually, the white floor and walls were painted red with blood. Internal organs and even bone fragments produced by the dogs’ strong bites could be seen everywhere.

“Very well,” said Wesker. “Tonight, we will test the fighting power of these canine experimental subjects. But this is a project that requires a big movement. Remember to remind the greedy guard captain to control the situation after the experiment. You should know that the real highlight is tomorrow night. Before this, do not let the target of these experimental subjects be infected by the T-virus.”

Wesker’s lips were straight, and his eyes beneath his sunglasses showed a shred of indifference.

A series of data appeared in the eyes of the girl before she looked up and added, “Other than that, the company headquarters informed us that the officer from the Federal Bureau of Investigation might have already snuck into Roguetown.”

“That’s okay,” Wesker replied coldly. “After all, when the experiment results are out tomorrow, nothing will be left of this town.”

Then he stood up from the chair and went into a room to the side.
