Fatal Shot - Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Virus Immunity

I knew it!

Among his attributes, Feng Luo found a description that got him thinking.

“Primary Evolution Virus immunity!”

What does this mean? According to the words, I suppose it’s about gaining immunity against the Evolution Virus. Speaking of which, T-virus is also a mutated version of the Evolution Virus. And this seems to be categorized under Primary Evolution Virus. Does it mean it is one of the “primary mutated versions”? If that’s the case, what Xiao Jiu said could be possible!

Perhaps, with the immunity to T-virus, he was the only player here who was not afraid of being infected by the T-virus! Feng Luo immediately thought of this.

“It’s very likely to be the case! Then the value of this potion would worth much more than the price stated previously…”

Other players have started their own discussions as well. They felt that this potion would probably be a permanent “T-virus Immunity Potion,” which would be equivalent to the permanent effect of superimposed green healing potions.

At the same time, a lot of the people were muttering in their hearts, too.

Considering the situation, it was unjust for Feng Luo and the others to take the enhancing potion with only 60 percent of their contribution. However, the distribution of items was over. What has been done could not be undone. Even if there were people that wanted to have some of the credits taken by Feng Luo and the others, they wouldn’t have the courage to speak up, so it was best to just accept the fact.

The only person who would be extremely satisfied by this was none other than Feng Luo himself because the others would not have a clue regarding the kind of classic storyline in Resident Evil (Biohazard), which probably would have a great impact. In the future, when the zombies reigned, a permanent potion like this, which could increase one’s T-virus immunity, would be highly advantageous.

With this fact alone, the Primary Evolution Virus (T) Enhancing Potion would be worth over 90 percent of the contribution.

“But is it only for the Primary Evolution Virus?”

Feng Luo realized that in his attributes, the immunity against the Evolution Virus hinted that it applied to “Most of the ‘Primary’ Mutated Version.” The T-virus was a primary virus. If there was a primary level, would there be other higher levels—like intermediate or advanced levels? If so, what would be an “intermediate”? A G-virus? A C-virus? Or perhaps the bonding of both the T-virus and G-virus, known as the Ultimate Human Form of “Uroborus Virus”? (These three were the viruses from Resident Evil/Biohazard.) Would these more advanced Evolution Viruses provide great strength to the players after bonding?

Following his train of thought, Feng Luo realized the extreme importance of the Evolution Virus to the players. It certainly would not be inferior to the biochip.

The legendary storyline told in Resident Evil/Biohazard had an unprecedented, epic plot that would definitely not be simple. It was highly probable that players could bond with the Evolution Virus in the “Biohazard” mission, activating the so-called “Path of Evolution”!

Perhaps his own Evolution Talent was indicating this. Moreover, what Master Roland had said in the appraisal office might have hinted at it, too.

“The mystery of the human body is far deeper than you can imagine,” Master Roland had said. “But, given the current speed of this technological renaissance, these mysteries should be revealed soon.”

Feng Luo hadn’t given a lot of thought to that sentence back then. In retrospect, there was no doubt that it had been a sign indicating that in the updated version, some new powers would be discovered in the “bodies” of the players! Or perhaps the Evolution Virus itself was the key to the secrets of the human body?

“I don’t need it, Feng. Which of you want this potion?”

Feng Luo was not listening. When Mu Zi handed the enhancing potion to Sister Rui, she refused it without any hesitation. She refused to sell for two million credits, but she was willing to hand it over to her teammates so casually. Sister Rui was so wealthy that she could no doubt rub it in other people’s faces.

“This… I don’t want it!” Mu Zi shook his head. He rejected it without hesitation, as he realized his contribution points did not even come close to comparing with Feng Luo’s or Sister Rui’s.

Feng Luo also shook his head. “It could be a waste if it is used on me…”

He already possessed the Evolution Virus resistance, and he was not sure what would happen if he was to use the enhancing potion. It might just go to waste.

Truth be told, the enhancing potion was not designed for Gunners, as it increased the main attributes, including Strength, Vitality, and maximum HP… Each of these attributes was very useful to Warriors, but not so much for the Gunner profession.

As for Machine Gunners, it could be of use to them. The two attributes of Strength and Vitality were of some use to Machine Gunners because they needed Strength for movement and to fire a machine gun at high speed when shooting. They also needed a certain amount of Vitality and HP to avoid being insta-killed by those belonging to long-ranged professions during a firefight.

Feng Luo thought of this suddenly and whispered in Sister Rui’s ear, “Sister Rui, you should keep this potion first. You don’t have to use it. Perhaps I could increase the bonding success rate or change the basic attributes that it would increase.”

He only said so because he had thought of Lin. Lin, too, was studying the Evolution Virus. This potion might intrigue her. Also, a 75 percent bonding success rate was nonetheless too low—especially when it would reduce all attributes by two if it failed!

He had decided that if Sister Rui was not to use it, then he would take the enhancing potion to Lin to find out whether she could increase the success rate of this potion or maybe even change the attributes that the potion could increase. It would be best if it could increase the attributes of a Gunner, like Agility, Speed, etc.

When he thought of Lin, Feng Luo also thought of his mission, “Lin’s Interest.” He then hurried out of the Guard Bureau.

Feng Luo ran quickly to the corpse of the Tyrant, which was covered in bullet holes. He took out a silver case from his inventory and opened it. He proceeded to take out a cylindrical metallic test tube. Using the extraction needle on top of it, Feng Luo took a sample of its blood. When he placed the metallic test tube back into its case, four out of the five test tubes were already occupied with substances.

During these few days, Feng Luo had not forgotten what he needed to do for Lin. To date, he had already collected four T-virus infected samples, including those of a zombie dog, an ordinary zombie, a Forager, and the Tyrant just now. Obviously, the blood sample of the Tyrant would worth the most out of all of them.

At that moment, Feng Luo thought of a new possibility.

If the Tyrant could drop the “T-virus Enhancing Potion,” does it mean that Lin could find out how the enhancing potion was made through this blood sample? If she were able to produce an enhancing potion, we would probably be rolling in money.

Of course, before considering any of this, it was necessary to increase his “likability” with Lin. At the very least, he needed to complete the mission assigned.

However, I have collected samples from every infected creature I’ve encountered. Where could the last infection sample be?

******

“The testing result shows that it is approximately 5 percent away from reaching the standard of Intermediate B.O.W.”

From the basement of the sanatorium, the voice of a little girl in white could be heard.

“Alas, our intentions were to do some testing and continue to cultivate it so as to manufacture a qualified intermediate bio-organic weapon (B.O.W). Never would we have thought that it would be defeated so quickly by this group of explorers.”

The virtual screen displayed the entire process of the Tyrant being killed by the firepower of the players.

Wesker remarked expressionless while taking off his sunglasses. “Notify Party 5 to collect a full set of samples from it after the experiments have ended.”

“Yes, sir! Transmitting command…”

“Well, it’s almost time. Let’s start the next test!” Wesker ordered in a deep voice while shaking its head slightly.

The little girl in white had data streaming through her eyes. She replied with a childish monotone, “Threshold Pressure Test, commence!”

Then the screen in front of Wesker switched into a three-dimensional view overlooking Raccoon City. On this virtual three-dimensional map, red dots that represented zombies could be seen making their way slowly toward the Guard Bureau, surrounding it.
