Chapter 48: Infected by the Virus

  Chapter 48

  Lin Chen slowly stood up, and compared with his gradually rising body temperature, his pale face was even more worrying!

  "Looking at BOSS's symptoms, doesn't it seem a bit like sepsis?"

  Jade whispered in Le's ear.

  "Septicemia?!"

  For some reason, Lin Chen's hearing suddenly became extremely sharp, and even though Jadi deliberately lowered his voice, Lin Chen could hear it clearly!

  Even Lin Xun's hearing was so keen that he could determine their approximate location through their breathing and heartbeat, without relying on vision at all!

  "No! Your symptoms, it looks like you've been infected with a virus, T-virus!"

  Alice, who knew the most about the T virus, made a judgment. In order to steal the T virus, she also did a lot of homework!

  "I've never been bitten."

  Lin Chen was very certain, his body hadn't even had any contact with zombies!

  Even those corpses that fill the corridors have a thick layer of shoe soles separating them, making it absolutely impossible to contract T-virus!

  And his discomfort symptoms were before entering the corridor!

  "But it can also be spread in other ways! For example, the zombies here, a large part of them were not infected by other zombies!"

  Alice's expression turned serious as she continued, "The terrifying thing about this virus is that it can be transmitted through the air or by contact!"

  "People with slightly poor physical condition or allergic tendencies may be infected by viruses in the air!"

  “**？！”

  Lin Xun suddenly remembered that earlier, when he was pulling down the glass shelf outside the monitoring room, something seemed to have splashed onto him. This was his only contact with anything inside the hive!

  At that time, Lin Chen did not notice!

  It seems like something in one of the culture dishes, but God knows what it is!

  Lin Xuan can be sure of one thing: he was infected with something, but it's absolutely not T-virus!

  "I can be sure that I'm not infected with the T-virus, maybe it's some other research virus inside the hive. Alright, no more nonsense, get out as soon as possible, everything will be alright once we're back on the surface!"

  Lindon stood up and began leading the crowd up the stairs towards Alice's mansion.

  "Boss, is your body okay?"

  Lai asked somewhat anxiously.

  "Hold on."

  Lin Xuan simply and forcefully replied with a sentence, at this time, his physical condition seemed even better than before!

  Agile and powerful movements, quick reflexes!

  "Alice, if you've regained your memory, you should know where the ammunition is hidden inside the villa, right?"

  Alice nodded thoughtfully and said, "The ammunition I have there is enough for replenishment."

  Alice seems to have fully recovered her memory.

  "Be on guard!"

  "Swish swish swish swish!"

  As he watched the glass wall door slowly open, Lin Chen's voice was hoarse with warning.

  Without him saying a word, all the mercenaries raised their guns, opened the safety catches and assumed combat positions, forming a standard combat formation that shielded Lin Chen and Mate behind them.

  The dim moonlight passes through the glass of the window and is divided into neat pieces by the frame, spilling onto the ground and bringing a touch of brightness.

  The curtains with noble purple patterns were pulled open, hanging neatly and evenly on both sides of the window frame, revealing the distant view of mountains and forests outside the window!

  Inside the vast villa, it was extremely quiet, as if there were no uninvited guests arriving!

  The gaze rose along the dim moonlight, a wooden super-long dining table was placed in the center of the hall, two crystal candelabras were dazzling and charming, luxurious but not lacking in connotation!

  Around the large hall inside the house, several clay sculptures wrapped in plastic paper were also placed.

  A strong gust of wind blew by, directly blowing open the window. The plastic paper rubbed against each other, making a rustling sound that seemed eerily terrifying in the dim and quiet environment!

  Apart from Lin Chen's voluntary refusal, everyone else put on night vision goggles, and even in an environment where they couldn't see their own hands, everything was clearly visible!

  The mercenaries who had just gone through a life-and-death crisis apparently didn't mind this gloomy atmosphere, and followed Alice in droves.

  Alice, as the nominal host of this mansion, was extremely familiar with it. She led everyone through a large wooden gate that had been opened and into her bedroom...

  Or rather, it was her bedroom with Stubbs...

  Alice effortlessly opened the third drawer of her bedside cabinet and entered the password.

  Lin Chen took a glance at the two boxes above, then glanced at the night scene again, and finally did not suggest changing all the mercenary uniforms.

  It's nighttime now, even if the Protective Umbrella Corporation mobilizes satellites to monitor them, it's unlikely they'll be discovered. Once they reach the city center, a casual hide will make them unfindable!

  "Ahah, right on time!"

  Alice quickly entered the password and removed the special tempered glass that sealed the firearms, revealing two submachine guns and a night vision device.

  Laila gazed at Alices' equipment in awe.

  Although all their guns belong to the same good luck, Alice's are obviously better maintained and have been modified in some places, making the gun's performance even more superior!

  "Everyone speed up! I reckon everything here has been compromised by the Umbrella Corporation, let's replenish our ammo and get out of here fast!"

  As a property of the umbrella company, how can they not take some protective measures? In this drawer that stores ammunition, something like surveillance must have been installed!

  "Ammunition is on the next floor."

  Alice pulled out two submachine guns and holstered them on the outside of her thighs, then pulled out the bottom drawer and entered a password.

  "Beep beep!"

  A blinding red flash emerged, an error prompt popped up, refusing to acknowledge this password!

  "What's going on? It doesn't recognize my password?!"

  Alice looked unusually strange, apparently she had never encountered such a situation before.

  "Karamu, hurry up!"

  Lin Chen urged.

  "Don't worry."

  Kalanpu was full of confidence, under the night vision goggles of everyone's gaze, he calmly squatted down, connected the tactical computer on his arm with the interface of this drawer, and quickly invaded its system!

  It was just a trivial matter, Kalanpu used less than twenty seconds to expose all the slow-moving bullets in this drawer!

  A refreshing whiff of gun oil wafted through the air, and two assaulters let out a cheer. Among them, they even mentioned using rifle-type bullets, which was an unexpected delight.

  "The time left for us is not much, the protection of Umbrella Corporation may be reached at any moment!"

  Lin Chen was constantly urging him on, unable to help but feel anxious, the special virus he had contracted was eroding his immune system, driving his immune cells crazy!

  Unlike ordinary sepsis, the cells in Lin's body began to die rapidly under the indiscriminate attack of white blood cells and started to accumulate on the surface of his skin, making his skin gradually turn pale!

  This is exactly the process of becoming a zombie!

  However, it is also different from the process of T-virus mutation, making it impossible to determine which species it belongs to!

  Perhaps it is the product of T virus research failure...

  The mercenaries moved quickly, merely replenishing some ammunition, the bullets stored in Alice's drawer were already pressed into clips beforehand, and everyone just took some hanging on themselves.

  "Note: This is a Task World item. It can be brought into the Abyss at the cost of Survival Time and will have its performance reduced by 80%!"

  "Note: In task scenarios, firearms deal 80% reduced damage to Contractors!"

  This is the prompt Lin Chen got when he came into contact with firearms!

  The performance of firearms was directly weakened by 80%!

  What does this represent?

  Even if the contractor has only a normal person's physical quality, it is enough to capture the trajectory and there is a high probability of dodging!

  Even if hit, as long as it's not a vital spot, it won't be fatal, and it won't even cause serious injury!

  It's settled then. After all, this isn't the main god space. Demons should be classified under fantasy or supernatural genres. It makes sense that they would be weakened by science and technology.

  Lin Xichen's mind was racing with thoughts, and his train of thought had not been affected by the virus infection, but instead became even clearer!
