Chapter 138: Chapter 133: The Burning Tower

After the doctor hurriedly left, she immediately took the virus strain to her laboratory set up inside the Tower.

The virus that caused the tragedy in Kelan City was something she had deeply researched and was thoroughly familiar with, she had already made all the preparations before Xiao Yi’s departure.

Therefore, the vaccine could be quickly completed!

"Phew... alright, let’s begin."

The doctor took a deep breath and then opened the bottle containing the dark green liquid.

The virus strain now revealed its true nature!

"...Just as I thought!"

Feeling a bit excited after her true encounter with the virus strain, the doctor couldn’t help herself.

"According to my previous research, this virus possesses a hive-mind-like characteristic! Every several dozen to hundreds of Mutants, there emerges one with higher intelligence that can command the others! This is precisely why those Mutants act so unified and often take unexpectedly smart actions!"

Taking another deep breath, her hands trembled slightly.

She continued, "The virus strain is essentially the Bee Queen of this hive, possessing the ultimate authority to easily command all other Mutants! Essentially, it is a viral-level direct interference. Therefore, only with the virus strain can we control the other viruses and create a vaccine!"

Having fully confirmed this, the doctor couldn’t help but break into a sweat.

It’s no wonder the military researched this virus; having it is like having an army that completely obeys commands, and the virus also enhances physical capabilities! It’s nothing short of terrifying!

"But! This terror, I will end it! No one else shall suffer from this horror!"

Her expression hardened, and she became even more committed to developing the vaccine.

However... she was so engrossed and focused that she failed to notice someone watching her quietly from the shadows behind her.

...

Meanwhile, at Xiao Yi’s place, after seeing the doctor hurriedly leave, Karim burst into laughter. It was the happiest he had laughed since arriving in Kelan City.

"Hahaha! I didn’t expect her to show such a face, what a revelation!"

Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi looked at him somewhat speechlessly.

"All the efforts I made were not in vain, and I think anyone would react similarly, I don’t find it funny," said Xu Woshi.

"That’s right." Xiao Yi added, "To work hard and reap rewards, there’s nothing happier in the world than this. Uncle, people might spit on you for that."

"Er..." Karim paused, scratching his head awkwardly, "Can’t I just express my feelings simply?"

But quickly, Karim’s smile returned.

"Nevertheless, no matter what, it’s a good thing, right? As long as the vaccine is developed, we won’t have to worry about becoming Mutants or fear them anymore! This is truly the best news! Great! To celebrate this moment, let’s have a celebration party! Honestly, I’ve been hiding something good, and it’s time to bring it out to celebrate!"

"...Oh!"

At his words, Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi’s eyes lit up!

However, Karim then gestured for them to be quiet.

"Shush, keep it down, don’t let others hear!"

"...Eh?" Xu Woshi was puzzled, "Not let others know?"

"Yes," Karim nodded, "Haven’t you said it yourselves? There might be military spies inside the Tower, it’s better not to let more people know that we have the virus strain, or we’d expose ourselves, won’t we?"

"That’s indeed true," Xiao Yi nodded, "So, it’s just the four of us celebrating, right?"

"Yes," Karim paused for a moment and then said somewhat sheepishly, "The stuff I’ve hidden is actually only enough for the few of us, and, if others knew I was hiding good stuff and didn’t share, they might beat me to a half-cripple, so! We’ll definitely need to leave the Tower quietly later! We mustn’t let the other people in the Tower find out!"

Xiao Yi: "..."

Xu Woshi: "..."

The location where Karim hid the good stuff wasn’t inside the Tower, but rather in an ordinary little house nearby.

Thus, the three of them quietly left the Tower and went to the small house to prepare.

They planned to call the doctor over once everything was ready, and then the four of them would celebrate together.

But... what Xiao Yi and the others hadn’t expected was that at that moment inside the Tower, the situation suddenly changed.

"...The original virus strain and its vaccine have been secured, now preparing to move to the designated location for handover."

Inside the Tower, a person packed the virus strain and the vaccine into a box and reported the situation to the higher-ups using a Communicator.

Then, the higher-ups immediately issued new instructions.

"Good, leave quickly, our forces are ready to bomb the Tower."

"Received!" The person immediately left the Tower.

"...," and the doctor, her forehead still continuously bleeding.

Her consciousness flickering, her body had lost the strength to support itself, and she collapsed to the ground... She could only watch helplessly as the results of her long efforts were taken away by that person.

She didn’t fear her own death, she just feared that despite all her efforts, she still hadn’t managed to change anything.

Now, there was only one wish in her heart... hoping that Xiao Yi and the others could take back the original virus strain and the vaccine, to save the city and more lives.

Yet, this wish seemed impossible to fulfill now.

...

"Everything’s almost ready, right?" Karim nodded with satisfaction and said to Xiao Yi and the others, "I’ll go check on the doctor and bring her over."

Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi nodded and waited there.

"Alright, I’ll bring her here."

Karim immediately left and headed towards the Tower.

But soon, he suddenly sensed something.

"...Hm? What’s that sound?"

Karim heard a strange noise and then quickly realized that the sound was coming from the sky!

Karim hurriedly looked up, and soon he saw amidst the pitch-black night sky, a blinking light rapidly approaching the Tower!

"...Is that... a military fighter jet! Could it be!?"

A bad premonition suddenly struck Karim’s heart! He felt like his heart stopped beating at that moment!

The next instant, his premonition became reality.

From within the fighter jet, a missile poised and ready, blasted forth! With a swooshing sound, it pierced into the Tower!

Then, a fierce explosion erupted at the center of the Tower!

Flames reached up to the sky! The night in Kelan City was instantly illuminated!

The intense blast of heat also spread in all directions, nearly blowing Karim away!

He barely managed to stabilize his stance and urgently looked towards the Tower!

At this moment, the Tower, enveloped by soaring flames, was burning fiercely!

After such a bombardment, the Tower did not fall, but... the people inside the Tower undoubtedly all perished, without any chance of survival.
