Chapter 382 [Instance: The Whistleblower is Dead, Battle Royale Early (1-Hour Time Limit)]Debra's smile remained unchanged: "Just kidding, you're really hot-tempered."Catherine gave her a cold look, grabbed the black coat on the table and draped it over her arm. She casually touched the pocket of the coat, where a small pistol was hidden. "Let's go. Dr. Huo is urging us."As soon as the two opened the door, they saw a group of researchers working busily. After the N30 virus mutated, they were urgently recalled to the hospital to analyze the virus mutation and update the vaccine."Collect samples from infected individuals and send them for whole-genome sequencing.""The key is to look at the spike protein and see if its structure has changed.""Neutralizing antibody experiments also need to be arranged.""If we don't have enough manpower, we'll contact the dean and ask him to send some more people over."Catherine and Debra did not participate in the analysis of virus mutations or the updating of vaccines; they simply walked through the crowd and headed out.Debra looked at Catherine walking ahead of her and suddenly said, "You don't know yet, do you? They've started to question your work efficiency and have already arranged for someone to take over your job."Catherine turned around, stared at her intently, and suddenly laughed: "Debra, what kind of reaction do you want from me? So what if they take over my work? Don't forget how many messes I've cleaned up for you. Yes, everyone's been busy lately, but I think Dr. Huo will be interested in the reasons behind certain events."Ha, no wonder he can so easily betray his beliefs. He's also ruthless in threatening people, and he'd even do something that would cause him to lose eight hundred of his own lives in a thousand casualties.——May 22, 3946, 10:00 AM, in a temporarily empty rest room in Zone D.Chu Xuange handed Pei Hening a roll of gauze: "Take care of the injury on your arm.""good."From last night until around 9 a.m. this morning, they were being chased. At first, Chu Xuange thought it was because his attempt to infiltrate Area E to steal information had been exposed, which led to the pursuit.Just as he was about to lure away the people chasing them, he realized that their target was not him, but Pei Hening."Nicole, what did you do? Why are so many people chasing you?"Pei Hening blinked and said, "Some people are afraid that I'll take away their cake.""Tap tap tap—" Footsteps approached from afar, and someone walked towards the empty lounge.They exchanged a glance, quickly cleaned up the traces in the lounge, and hid before the man could come in.Pei Hening recognized the person who came in; it was Jose.He went into the lounge, found a corner seat, and glanced at his watch every now and then, as if he were waiting for someone.Pei Hening could see Jose's actions through the gap in the curtains that weren't fully closed. Jose was like a transparent person in the office, and she really couldn't figure out why he had come here.At 10:15, footsteps sounded again outside the lounge. This time, the footsteps were much more chaotic than before, indicating that there was more than one person outside the door.He Sai stood up, walked to the door and secretly peeked outside, his expression gloomy.He observed the situation in the lounge and finally focused on the thick floor-to-ceiling curtains, which could be used to hide people.He Sai walked quickly to the floor-to-ceiling curtains, lifted them, and tried to hide inside.The next second, he raised his hands above his head and tentatively took two steps back.Pei Hening tilted her head and greeted him with a smile: "Hi~ Jose~, we have very similar tastes."If you ignore the knife she was holding to Jose's carotid artery, you can still see their touching camaraderie.José laughed at his own stupidity; how could he have been so unprepared?He forced himself to calm down and said, "Nicole, I don't care why you're here, or why you're holding a knife to my neck. We both need to hide now."Pei Hening raised an eyebrow and slowly said, "So generous?""Please, sister, let's hide quickly."Seeing that he was really anxious, Pei Hening reached out and grabbed his collar, pulling him behind the curtains.Just as the two had hidden themselves, the door to the lounge was pushed open from the outside.The first person to enter the lounge was dressed in a casual suit, asking as he walked, "How's the matter the Second Prince asked you to handle going?"A man in a black quick-drying shirt followed behind him and whispered, "Sector E is under lockdown, we can't get in. You'll have to help me figure out a way.""You can't get in either? Have you contacted the Second Prince's Consort?"The man in the black quick-drying shirt shook his head: "Today is the engagement ceremony of the Second Prince and the Second Prince's wife. I can't get in touch with her."The man in the casual suit remained silent for a while before asking, "Have we lost contact with Dr. Huo?""I called him several times but he didn't answer. It's not just Dr. Huo; we can't get in touch with anyone we had assigned to Zone E."After saying these words, the man in the black quick-drying shirt also keenly sensed something was wrong, and he looked up at the other person."You continue to try to get into Zone E, I'll contact the Second Prince."Pei Hening peeked at the two people through the gap in the curtains. When she looked away, she inadvertently saw Chu Xuange, who was hiding on the opposite side, glare in her direction.?[Instance: The Whistleblower is Dead, Battle Royale Starts Early (1-Hour Time Limit)][Player panel disables unbanning][Backpack, Skills, Talents - Disable/Unban][Instance map unlocked, safe zone opened, battle royale begins!][Note: If you fail to complete the battle royale, the mission will be forfeited, and the corresponding dungeon rewards will be deducted.]Pei Hening opened the dungeon map to check the location of the safe zone. It was very far away, and it would take more than an hour to get there using conventional methods!"Urgent Notice: An outbreak of an unidentified infectious virus has occurred in our hospital, spreading across regions and with the number of infections continuing to rise. Existing measures have become completely ineffective. The entire hospital is now under lockdown, and all outpatient services, medical examinations, admissions, surgeries, and visits are suspended. All personnel are to be quarantined and managed in place.""Repeated: Urgent Notice: An outbreak of an unidentified infectious virus has occurred in our hospital, spreading across regions, with the number of infected continuing to rise. Existing measures..."The hospital's urgent notice was like a death knell, causing an uproar in the quiet hospital. The man who was about to call the Second Prince Hall hurriedly pushed open the door and left.Jose, who was being held hostage by Pei Hening, patted her arm, signaling her to put down the knife."Nicole, can you let go of me?""Whoosh—"Chu Xuange walked over at some point and pulled back the curtains.Jose saw him as if he had found a lifeline: "Olivia, please help me!"Before Chu Xuange could speak, Pei Hening questioned, "Did you come here to wait for that guy in the casual suit who just came in?"As Jose listened to the hospital's announcement and saw Olivia standing motionless beside him, he finally understood his current predicament: "Yes."Seeing that he hadn't revealed the purpose of waiting for them, Pei Hening asked directly, "And then?"
