Chapter 825: Chapter 340 Virus Origin _3 Chapter 825: Chapter 340 Virus Origin _3 So someone beside asked, “But how can we be sure that the person entering the cave is the Destroyer?”

Jim said, “There's no need to confirm that. With the Ebola Virus raging outside, it's extremely dangerous; there won't be any unrelated people coming here. Anyone wandering around outside at this time is definitely the Destroyer. So as soon as we discover someone entering here, that person must be the Destroyer–there's absolutely no mistake.”

Another person hesitated before asking, “Brother Jim, have you found another way out? Otherwise, if the entrance collapses, how are we going to get out?”

Jim said, “This cave was discovered by the High Priest; there is only that entryway. But if you look up, there are other openings in these rock walls, which lead in all directions; it's unclear where they all go. But the High Priest has personally explored them and found a path leading outside to the mountain peak. The High Priest has already shared this route with me, so even if the entrance collapses, we can still leave this place.”

That person then said admiringly, “The High Priest is truly incredible, thinking of such an amazing method. If the Destroyer doesn't show up, so be it; but once he comes, he's surely doomed.”

Jim glanced around and said softly, “Although the High Priest is formidable, the strategy this time was actually planned with the help of a Chinese person.”

The person didn't understand and asked, “Yan Fei is Chinese, so the Destroyer standing behind Yan Fei is also very likely to be Chinese, and the person who did the plotting is also Chinese. Since they are all Chinese, the same race, why can't they unite and stand together against the outside world, instead of scheming against and killing each other?”

Jim said with a sneer, “The Chinese people are adept at internal strife; their history is a constant repetition of fighting amongst themselves, so it's very difficult to get all Chinese people to unite. Moreover, that Chinese strategist is said to have irreconcilable hatred with Yan Fei, which is why he came to help us. He just wants to use our strength to eliminate Yan Fei's backing–the Destroyer. We also get a brilliant plan in return. It's a mutually beneficial exchange–no debts owed on either side.”

Someone else came up with a question and said, “What if the Destroyer survives our two traps in succession and comes here? What should we do then? The Destroyer is said to be extremely formidable, and the High Priest is not here; we're completely unable to deal with him.”

Jim was silent for a moment, then said, “If the Destroyer is really that formidable, then once he gets here, he'll deserve the ultimate gift we've prepared for him. We will surely teach him a lesson he will never forget.”

Someone asked, “Brother Jim, how come we don't know about any ultimate gift?”

Jim said, “The ultimate gift involves a key aspect of our plan, so it cannot be disclosed yet. However, if the Destroyer truly is that formidable, then the ultimate gift will appear and leave the Destroyer with no place to be buried.”

Out of curiosity, someone asked, “Brother Jim, although our plan seems perfect, the Destroyer might not necessarily find this place. If he doesn't pick up on the clues we've left, doesn't show up here, wouldn't all of our efforts have been in vain?”

Jim said, “Don't worry, after our first trap fails, we will release intelligence about this temporary base. Dream Island's intelligence collection capability is unparalleled; they will definitely find the clues we purposely left behind and then fall into our trap.”

Another person asked, “But if Dream Island agrees to our extortion demands and actually meets our conditions, what do we do then? Do we still go after them?”

Jim smiled and said, “If Dream Island truly meets our demands, then we will gain immense benefits, and naturally, we will release the hostages.”

The person continued, “But what about our collaborators?”

Jim sneered and said, “We will have already gained huge benefits, so who cares about the life and death of our collaborators. They are just trying to use us and don't have good intentions. Since Dream Island is offering us more, we will naturally abandon them. But as I said earlier, Yan Fei has already put a $2 billion bounty on us to take us down; clearly, he doesn't want to agree to our conditions, so he is destined to remain our enemy.”

Someone glanced at the suspicious ceramic jars nearby and the small animal corpses beside them and said with some fear, “Brother Jim, what is this cave really for? Why do I feel scared? Look at those small animal corpses; they didn't die for no reason.”

Jim looked over there and also felt a chill, “The High Priest was the first to discover this cave, and according to his analysis of the situation here, this place is very likely the real source of the continuous Ebola outbreaks in Africa. The contents of those jars are likely the Ebola Virus. We just don't know who broke them, allowing the Ebola Virus to leak out and infect the small animals that ran in. Then some of the animals were killed by the Ebola Virus, while others escaped outside carrying the virus, triggering this massive Ebola outbreak.”

Everyone swallowed hard, feeling a wave of fear. Although this theory about the cave being the source of the Ebola outbreak was just speculation by the High Priest, the truth was very likely as such. If the truth of the matter was indeed as they suspected, then who placed these jars here? Is the Ebola Virus naturally occurring or man-made? And who broke the jars? Why did they break them? What was their purpose?

Seeing everyone looking scared, Jim encouraged them, “Don't be afraid. You have all taken the special medicine, so you now have the ability to resist the Ebola Virus. Even if you stay in this cave and it's full of the Ebola Virus, you will not be infected. You are safe.”

Reminded by Jim, everyone recalled that they had stolen a lot of the special medicine when they kidnapped the Dream Island medical team and had taken it themselves, so they already possessed the ability to resist the Ebola Virus. Otherwise, having stayed in this place for so long, they would have already been infected by the virus. This was also why they dared to remain in the epidemic area for so long, using it to block external forces from intervening in this incident.

Then, someone suddenly remembered a question and asked, “Brother Jim, we took so much special medicine. Why haven't we seen those drugs now? Where have they been transported to?”

Jim, unusually silent, took a moment before saying, “Besides the half that our organization kept in reserve, the rest of the special medicine has been handed over to our collaborators. To support our action this time, their combat personnel needed to enter the epidemic area for military operations, so it was essential to ensure their staff also had the ability to resist the Ebola Virus–otherwise, they would not provide us with substantive support.”

Upon realizing that their own organization had provided their collaborators–who were their former adversaries–with the special medicine against the Ebola Virus, everyone felt indignant for the predecessors killed by their enemy and became rather disheartened. Gradually losing the urge to talk, they began to tend the fire camp and fell into silence.
