Chapter 475: Partial Restoration
After the initial excitement, Fang Heng fell into deep doubt again.
It was too illogical!
Why would a Hila tissue sample appear in such a place?
Fang Heng’s brows were tightly knitted.
Suddenly, he saw a record book on the experiment table next to him.
Fang Heng walked forward and opened the book.
The book was blank, there was no record of anything.
A note slid down from the gap in the book and fell to the ground.
Fang Heng picked up the note, and when he saw the contents of the note clearly, his pupils dilated several times!
“I curse this land. The dead will no longer go to the land of rebirth. The wailing souls will continue to reincarnate into the world. Every time the crimson moon descends, the dead sinners will return from the depths of the earth. They will continue to suffer and reincarnate into death... ”
Fang Heng’s heart pounded furiously. His gaze gradually shifted downward until he saw the signature at the bottom: Hila Rui Qi.
What the hell!
In an instant, Fang Heng began to reorganize all the information he had so far.
He mused, “Returning from the depths of the earth, reincarnation, the crimson moon...Is Rui Qi the superpower previously mentioned in the diary? ! Is the Hila experiment referring to her? It all makes sense now. Hila, Plan Scorpio, Meteorite Company, first-generation virus, mutant worm bodies, and the Scavenger Army, they’re all connected! ”
Fang Heng frowned. He felt as if he had grasped the outline of the world, but there was still something missing. In any case, he felt that his view of the game world had been overturned.
All along, Fang Heng and 99.999% of the other players thought that the so-called Blood Moon was part of the game’s settings.
But now, it seemed that the ultimate cause of the whole zombie apocalypse was actually the curse of a crimson moon.
Fang Heng was a little confused. He tried to clear his mind but still felt that something was missing.
“Fang Heng, what’s wrong? ”
Seeing that Fang Heng was standing there like he was possessed after reading the note, Zhong Lei walked over curiously and patted Fang Heng’s shoulder.
“No, nothing. ” Fang Heng came back to his senses and handed the information he had just received to Zhong Lei for everyone to take a look.
“This... ” Everyone looked at each other after reading the contents of the note.
Was what was written on it real? A curse? Was it not just a joke?
With little information about the main storyline, the trio reacted differently from Fang Heng and thought it was a joke at first glance.
“I have a theory. ” Fang Heng pursed his lips and roughly sorted out his thoughts, then said in a deep voice, “The Plan Scorpio experiment was a special experiment used to study children with superpowers in the early operations of Meteorite Company. From the diary we obtained previously, we know that Hila Rui Qi was a powerful spiritual energy user. After that, the Hila experiment of Meteorite Company was named after Hila. I think that the company did research on Hila. Although I have no concrete evidence, if I had to guess... ”
As Fang Heng spoke, his eyes swept over everyone. “I think it’s the first-generation virus. Judging from the mutant worm body that was extracted from the Hila tissue sample and the mutant worm body found in the first-generation meteorite... The combination of a human with spiritual energy and the first-generation virus extracted from the first-generation meteorite may have caused Hila to develop an even more powerful special ability, and then something else happened. Maybe it’s related to the curse... ”
If it really was a curse, perhaps Meteorite Company felt fear, so they took apart Hila’s corpse and hid it in every corner of the world. That theory seemed to make sense.
His speculation ended there. As Fang Heng paused to think, he suddenly realized a very contradictory point.
From the timeline, the Hila experiment happened a few years before the zombie outbreak. Meteorite Company had already scattered Hila’s corpse in every corner of the world.
Theoretically, if the curse existed, then the zombie outbreak should have happened a long time ago. Why did the Blood Moon and the apocalypse only happen a few years after Hila’s death? Something was wrong!
While he was thinking, a hint flashed in front of Fang Heng’s eyes.
“Hint: player Fang Heng has tried to partially restore the truth to the game’s main storyline. Player team has completed the final stage ring mission: Wallace’s Secret. ”
“Hint: totaling contribution points. You have obtained 87,000 survival points. ”
“Hint: player has partially uncovered the hidden ending. Additional 5,000 main storyline contribution points have been awarded. Please continue exploring. ”
Vera and the others were stunned.
What the hell! Fang Heng was right?
Fang Heng’s guess was partially acknowledged by the game. They had also received hints about having completed the ring mission and partially uncovering the hidden ending. Additionally, they received more than 2,000 survival points and 100 main storyline contribution points.
It was indeed surprising that they could actually trigger the hidden ending message.
But...
After being surprised, Yi Qi and the others felt their heads throb.
They had spent more than half a month and risked their lives to find research materials in the nursing home to exchange for game points, not to achieve a hidden ending and 100 main storyline contribution points.
“With these rewards, are we supposed to fight with the Federation for the ownership of the main storyline? And what’s the use of these two disgusting pieces of flesh? ” The more Yuan Bin thought about it, the more unhappy he felt.
Meanwhile, Zhong Lei’s heart skipped a beat. He clearly noticed how Fang Heng had omitted to mention the 12 boxes hidden by Meteorite Company all over the world.
Zhong Lei quickly exchanged glances with Fang Heng before uttering, “Everyone, these three cultivation pods and the things inside are very important to us. I will spend my points to buy all of them. Please help me out and don’t reveal what happened today. As for the points, I will give you a satisfactory number. Please pardon us for hiding this. Actually, we are from Leftway Gaming Guild. We came all the way here to pursue a mission. The cultivation pod is our final mission target. Thank you for your cooperation and help along the way. ”
Eh? ! Was the cultivation pod important enough to warrant heavy spending?
Hearing Zhong Lei’s words, Yuan Bin instantly felt as if he had returned to heaven from hell. Not only did he not work for nothing, but he could also earn a large sum of money.
“Really? You are willing to spend money to buy these lousy things? ” he asked.
Vera secretly tugged at Yuan Bin and glared at him, thinking, “How can he say things unfiltered? ! ”
“No, they aren’t trash. ” Zhong Lei shook his head. He knew some things about the Hila tissue. The terrifying fusion Tyrant form was created using it.
“We’ll explain the relevant issues after we go out. The price will definitely satisfy you. It’s still too dangerous to talk here. Let’s go first. ”
“Yes, yes, yes. It’s dangerous here. Let’s talk outside, ” Yuan Bin immediately responded.
Everyone locked the door and made their way out of the nursing home. Along the way, the group did not encounter any danger.
However, Fang Heng’s internal confusion was still not relieved.
One step at a time!
Fang Heng patted his cheek.
Next, he had to think of a way to transport the Hila tissues back to the Scavenger Army headquarter and thoroughly search the entire nursing home to see if there were any new clues.
