Chapter 137: Chapter 132 Regret

After Xiao Yi and the others had left, Lair immediately closed the secret door and put a new floor tile over the floor, disguising the room as if nothing had happened.

Then, as Lair had expected, someone who appeared to be one of his own men entered the room.

The man was actually a person the military had planted by his side.

As soon as the man walked in, he questioned Lair, "What’s the situation? Report now!"

Lair immediately put on a serious face and replied, "If you’re referring to those two people, I didn’t see them, I’m not sure what happened. Maybe they got lost in this building. In any case, there haven’t been any problems. And if they were coming for me, I think it would be better for me to leave this place."

"...A very good answer." The man nodded, then, with a heavy slap, struck Lair across the face!

"..."

Lair took the slap without a sound.

The man said menacingly, "Don’t think we don’t know your little tricks! You... gave the virus strain to those two, didn’t you?"

"...!" Lair’s brow furrowed slightly.

He knew the military was monitoring his actions, but he never expected it to go this far! He had carefully checked the room and his personal belongings! He hadn’t found any surveillance devices!

What’s more, since hiding the virus strain in this unassuming room, Lair had hardly ever returned here, and that’s how the virus strain had remained hidden until now!

But by what method had the military learned about his actions?

Lair couldn’t figure it out. He thought the other side was just bluffing, so he tried not to react and remained silent.

However, the other side let out a scornful laugh.

"Hmph... still putting on an act, huh? There’s no need for that now. And... we don’t need to pretend anymore."

"...What do you mean?" Lair asked.

The man’s response turned Lair’s face pale.

He said, "There are people inside Tower working for us, and Doctor’s identity is now clear. All that’s left is finding the right opportunity to take back the virus strain. As for that woman, she knows too much. She has to be eliminated."

"You...!"

Seeing the situation turn sour, Lair immediately tried to take down the man in front of him and catch up with Xiao Yi and the others to inform them!

But the other man’s actions were faster!

Lair was instantly overwhelmed and pinned to the ground by the man!

"Do you think I’m telling you this so you can go and tell them?" The man sneered, "Stop struggling, waste. Now that the whereabouts of the virus strain are clear, it’s time for you to die... no, actually, you still have some use, so I’ll spare your life for now."

"Use?" Lair was taken aback, then realized the man’s intention, "Are you saying you want me to take the fall?"

The man replied with a smile, "After such a big incident, someone has to take responsibility. Conveniently, your actions have been witnessed by the survivors here. Find a few compliant survivors to go out, and they’ll be more than willing to identify you. Plus, those survivors can help silence public opinion, allowing us to completely bomb this city and destroy all evidence against us. Speaking of which... by doing this, you’ll actually save a few people. Quite impressive, aren’t you?"

"You bastards!" Lair, powerless to resist, could only let out a feeble roar.

"Shut up." The man brutally thrust a syringe into Lair’s body.

Lair instantly lost the strength to resist and passed out.

The man vented his frustration by kicking Lair a few more times and spitting on him.

"Damn it, had you not been such a pain to deal with, I, a Brigadier General, wouldn’t have to come here to handle this! What a disgusting guy, ugh... if it wasn’t for the orders from above, I really would have killed him."

The Brigadier General spit on Lair again but immediately revealed a pleased smile.

"...Well, the powerless rage on this guy’s face is quite amusing. And more importantly, after all this, my path to promotion will be smoother. But, those two unknown fellows are quite troublesome... Ah, that’s it, let’s use a fighter jet to drop missiles and take care of them!"

...

On Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi’s side, they had returned to Tower with the virus strain and informed the Doctor and Karim about Lair’s situation.

"...So it’s like that?" Karim found it hard to believe what Xiao Yi and the others reported, the whole truth about Lair.

But then he looked at his right hand.

The shallow wound that Lair had told him to cut off when he cut his own right hand had almost healed by now.

Karim thought deeply; if Lair were truly a devil, he wouldn’t have let him live to return, and definitely wouldn’t have let him recover the Suppressant with almost no cost, temporarily averting the crisis in Tower.

"..." Karim fell silent for a moment, then said, "As much as I hate to admit it, that guy Lair was indeed a man... But the fact that he killed Jed won’t change!"

The Doctor also sighed and said, "That’s how it is, huh? That idiot, at least he could have told us something, just leaving like that caused us a lot of trouble."

But then, the Doctor also showed a relieved expression.

She said, "However... he stayed the same as before, and that’s good. Actually, Jed often secretly told me that he regretted it. If he had had a proper talk with Lair at the time, maybe he wouldn’t have forced him into making that choice."

Afterward, the Doctor looked towards Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi, smiling gently and said:

"Also, I want to thank you. The research that had come to a standstill can finally continue. The efforts made by Jed and Lair won’t be wasted..."

As she spoke, the Doctor showed a bitter smile and said to Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi:

"Actually, I’ve had regrets too. In such hard times, I often think, what if I hadn’t made that choice and just fulfilled the mission of the Humanitarian Organization for my own sake...

I often regret that if I had made a more selfish decision back then, maybe I wouldn’t have to endure these pointless pains here. But... thankfully for you both, I know my efforts have not been meaningless, and it’s finally coming to an end. I’m so glad I could hold out until now."

As the Doctor talked, a tear seemed to form at the corner of her eye.

Realizing this, she hurriedly stood up, turned her back to Xiao Yi and the others, and said:

"Right, time waits for no one. Now that we have the virus strain, I should go and develop the vaccine. Don’t come and disturb me."

With that, the Doctor quickly left with the virus strain.
