Chapter 57: Optional Side Missions

[5.12]
1. The corpse vine had destroyed a large number of cells in the body, and the mutated T-virus was also rapidly repairing the cells. The combination between the vine and a living body was better than expected.
2. The corpse vine was improving Alex’s human body structure. He became abnormally strong, and a layer of corpse vine armour began to grow on his skin.
[5.17.
1. Alex was more resistant to low temperatures, but he would also enter a dormant state when the temperature was below-17 degrees Celsius.
2. As Alex showed extremely high destructiveness and instability, we temporarily put him into a dormant state to ensure safety.
[5.20]
1. The corpse vine parasites were not sensitive to fire, but they were unusually vulnerable to fire damage.
2. It was strange to find that the T-virus serum had an extremely strong lethality against the plant parasites. It could directly kill the parasitic plant zombies, but the rest of the body remained in a ‘survival’ state.
[5.21]
1. If you met with danger, you could activate the emergency refrigeration device, press the red b.u.t.ton and quickly reduce the temperature of the morgue environment, in addition, you could also try to kill them by spraying the diluted solution of the T-virus serum with a water pipe.
2. We would request more serum from our superiors for research.
Note: There is still the remaining T-virus serum in the safe of the dean’s office. Pa.s.sword: ALEX.
[5.26]
1. The superior department was very interested in Alex and wanted to transfer him to the headquarters for observation.
2. To complete the transfer work, we have prepared a special freezer, put Alex in the freezer temporarily to wait for the transfer (even after the power failure, the freezer could still guarantee at least 30 hours of freezing time).
3. Next, we would try to study how to further strengthen the corpse vine parasite.
Note: Received the news, the superiors would help us find some living bodies from prison and send them over to help us with human living experiments.
The log stopped at this point.
Fang Heng’s eyelids twitched and he was overjoyed.
Found it!
Sure enough, his premonition was right. The T-virus serum mission had something to do with the morgue.
The pa.s.sword to the safe was hidden in the notebook!
Next, as long as he found the T-virus serum, the mission would be completed.
F*ck the corpse vine parasite!
“What does it have to do with me!”
Fang Heng was about to run to the dean’s office on the third floor to look for the serum when a row of game notifications quickly flashed across his retina.
[Hint: You have read the experiment team’s notebook.]
[Hint: You have accepted the mission-find the T-virus serum.]
[Hint: Your mission objective has changed.]
What was the situation?
Fang Heng was puzzled and immediately opened the game log to check.
Mission name: Find the T-virus serum.
Difficulty: SSS.
Basic mission requirement: Find the T-virus serum.
Optional mission 1: You have found the description of the corpse vine in the course of the mission. The Dark Knights have been looking for the origin of the apocalypse crisis. You can try to collect the corpse vine sample and give it to Vettel.
(If you complete this optional mission, your basic mission reward will be increased by 1.5 times).
Optional mission 2: If you find a description of the corpse vine parasite during the task, you can try to find a sample of the corpse vine parasite and give it to Vettel.
(If you complete this optional mission, your basic mission reward will be increased by 2 times).
Optional mission 3: If you find a description of Alex during the mission, find Alex’s body (or sample) and bring it back to Vettel.
(If you complete this optional mission, your basic mission reward will be increased by 4 times).
Note 1: Optional missions can be completed at the same time, the reward can be multiplied.
Note 2: If the completion of the mission is more than 100% , you can receive additional rewards in proportion.
This is tempting!
Fang Heng gritted his teeth.
He originally wanted to get the T-virus serum and leave!
The basic difficulty of the mission to find the T-virus serum was the highest level of the game, SSS-level!
The reward was needless to say!
Now, with the addition of the side missions, if he could complete them, the reward provided by the missions would be raised to a terrifying level!
Fang Heng really wanted the reward but he had to be alive to receive it!
Not to mention the terrifying Tier 2 mutant zombie-corpse vine parasite.
There was even Alex who had fused with the vine...
Fang Heng did not doubt that this so-called Alex was already at Tier 3 or even Tier 4 level.
However...
The reward was too tempting! After completing all the side missions, he would receive the original reward of 1.5*2*4, which was 12 times the reward!
“F*ck!”
Fang Heng cursed in his heart.
In any case, he had to think of a way to get the T-virus serum first!
Fang Heng did not delay any longer. He immediately raised his head and said, “Sorry, I found something. I’m going out for a while. I’ll be back soon.”
Without waiting for Hao Zhou and the others to stop him, Fang Heng quickly left the room.
Taking advantage of the fact that the corpse vine parasites on the first floor had not caught up, Fang Heng carried the machete all the way back to the laboratory on the third floor. He removed the picture frame on the wall and quickly entered the pa.s.sword.
“ALEX!”
“Pa!”
The safe popped open from the inside.
There were two potions lying quietly inside.
[Hint: You have obtained item-T-virus serum*2.]
[Hint: Your mission-finding T-virus serum basic completion rate: 200%.]
Eh? There was another one.
If he double-handed the T-virus serum and completed all the optional side missions, his final reward would be a terrifying 24 times!
Risk it all!
Such an opportunity only came once every 10,000 years, there was no reason to retreat!
The risk was there but the reward for the mission was undoubtedly greater!
It was totally worth taking some risks for it!
If he gave up on this mission, how could he sleep at night!
Fang Heng conveniently kept the two serums into his backpack and returned the way he came. At the same time, he began to think about his next move!
Now, he should think about how to get the three items for the side missions.
According to the information he got from the experiment notes, the three items for the side mission should be in the research room behind the underground morgue.
The safest way should be to find a way to restore the power supply and put the zombies in the morgue into hibernation again.
However, it was impossible to do that in a short period of time!
So, they had to do it the hard way.
The corpse vine parasites had very low resistance to fire. In other words, the focused flamethrower could be very effective against them.
However, they had to be extra careful when using the focused flamethrower in this environment.
This place was not like the underground pa.s.sage of the prison. A moment of carelessness could very well lead to a fire.
At that time, even the mission items would be burned to the ground. He might even be trapped in the fire and die.
So...
The safest way was to lure them away from the bas.e.m.e.nt, then capture them all in one fell swoop and get rid of them completely.
“If I use the explosion...”
Fang Heng muttered to himself and began to try to construct a preliminary plan in his mind.
As for Alex, according to the notes of the experiment, the special freezer could keep the temperature under control for 30 hours.
This meant that he needed to solve the problem quickly within 30 hours, otherwise....
