"It's nothing. For safety reasons, I need you to stay here for a while, and then go out after I have completely ensured the safety of the prison building."
Fang Heng didn't dare to gamble.
After all, Li Bo only has 3 points of constitution and 3 points of agility. Not to mention his slow running speed, his blood volume is still low.
What if you accidentally encounter a licker who slipped through the net while leaving...
Definitely hang up!
"Okay, then I'll stay here and wait a little longer, and you have to pick me up right away."
Li Bo is quite afraid of death, and he doesn't mind staying here for a while.
"By the way, you haven't been to the second floor of the basement below Building 3, have you?"
"Huh?" Fang Heng, who was about to leave, raised his eyebrows. He turned around and asked, "I was about to go there to have a look. Do you know where it is?"
"call!"
Li Bo patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's a good thing you didn't go there, otherwise you would have been cold."
"Why?"
"It's very dangerous out there. We encountered an extremely rare individual mutation during our research on lickers."
"You mean Arita?"
"Have you heard of him too?"
Li Bo was a little surprised, so he explained from the beginning.
"You're right, it's Arita."
"Arita was originally a prisoner. Because his physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people, special mutations occurred during the evolution of Lickers."
"For Meteorite Company, Arita has extremely high research value. After being infected with the virus, he was found to still have some cognitive thinking abilities."
"The company has been trying to research ways to completely control biological weapons, and having cognitive thinking capabilities is the foundation."
"So the team specially renovated the second underground floor of Building 3 and set up a special research department for Arita."
Fang Heng asked: "Then why can't I go in?"
"Some time ago, it was discovered that someone had infiltrated the prison. The company set up a special alarm device in Building 3 for safety."
"Once an outsider breaks into the second underground floor, Arrieta will immediately activate the awakening."
"Special alert? Is using a spare magnetic card to enter the second floor considered an intrusion?"
"Well, this is a method adopted within the company to prevent the leakage of secrets. In extreme cases, in order to protect information related to the 'biological weapons' program, just like three years ago, the company will choose to directly wake up Arieta and cause another incident.
A biochemical accident will directly destroy all evidence."
Fang Heng frowned.
"Aretta is still dormant?"
"Probably so."
After being trapped for so long, Li Bo was not sure.
"The power supply in the basement of Building 3 is supplemented by solar energy. As long as there is enough nutrient solution in the culture chamber, there will be no problem in maintaining it for two or three years."
The mission seems to have changed again.
Follow the task process given by Chen Yu before.
After getting the magnetic card, he can enter the basement of Building 3.
At that time, the sleeping Arita will also be awakened.
In the final mission, you need to find a way to kill Arita.
Now it sounds like Arita has been well controlled and is still dormant.
Most likely it was because seniors from other servers accidentally killed Li Bo during their mission, or it was too late to explore the basement and Li Bo had starved to death.
This allowed them to trigger the alarm when they broke into the secret research room in Building 3, awakening Arita.
Fang Heng touched his chin.
It should be easier to deal with Arita in a coma, right?
Maybe you can complete the task directly!
Fang Heng raised his head.
"Is there any way to get directly into the lab where Arrieta is without triggering the alarm?"
"The researcher's authority needs to be verified. In addition to the magnetic card required to open the three iron gates, the researcher's iris also needs to be verified."
Fang Heng understood.
In addition to being the mission reward at this stage, Li Bo is also the 'key' to open the research room in Building 3.
"Okay, after I completely clean up Building No. 1, you can accompany me to the research room."
"Do we have to go? It's too dangerous there."
The corners of Li Bo's mouth turned bitter.
…
Fang Heng searched the prison building in detail again and opened all the rooms to confirm that there were no lurking lickers.
After thoroughly cleaning the prison building, everyone began to transform the 'maze'.
When the maze was roughly designed, Fang Heng had already made plans to deal with Arita.
So we only need to make a slight change, changing the entrance of the maze to the exit of Building 3.
Finally, evacuate the NPCs in Building 3.
All members of the Dark Knights switched to armor-piercing rounds.
Chen Yu and the federal team were on standby in the sentry tower.
Everything is prepared to defeat Eretta.
We must kill Arita before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning!
When all preparations were completed, Fang Heng led Li Bo into the basement of Building 3.
In front of the three iron gates, Fang Heng used his spare key to scan the instrument.
"Didi didi! Verification successful!"
The three iron gates ahead opened one after another.
"Don't go in yet."
Li Bo pulled Fang Heng.
He walked to the code on the wall and pressed several numbers in succession on the code lock.
‘Click!’
The wall above the combination lock opens, revealing an identification device.
Li Bo moved his face closer.
"Iris verification successful, welcome back, Dr. Li."
Li Bo breathed a sigh of relief and looked sideways at Fang Heng, "Okay, you can go in now, Arita will stay inside."
"You won't go in?"
"Of course not!"
Li Bo looked like it was natural and shook his head repeatedly.
"This place is too dangerous. It has been so long. What if something unexpected happens and Ereta wakes up early?"
Li Boyan spoke with certainty.
"Fang Heng, I am very grateful to you for saving my life. I advise you not to go in. There is no need for us to take risks for it. How about living well?"
"No, you have to go together. The prison is our residence. This threat must be completely eliminated. Otherwise, do you want to sleep on the street full of zombies?"
"Besides, you are the only one who knows how to control the test bench. What if I accidentally misoperate it and activate Arita?"
"But, but..."
"Stop it, come in with me."
Li Bo hesitated for a long time, and finally was forcibly pulled by Fang Heng into the second underground floor.
[Tip: Your friendship with Li Bo has declined slightly].
[Tip: Li Bo’s loyalty drops by 1 point].
Going down the stairs, the door to the laboratory on the second underground floor is closed.
Pushing open the door, a blast of cold air hit my face.
As soon as he entered the door, Fang Heng saw the tempered glass facing the door.
Tempered glass divides the laboratory into two.
On the other side of the glass is a large vertical culture chamber.
The culture cabin is four meters high and has the company logo of ‘Meteor Star’ engraved on it.
A burly human being, nearly three meters tall, was floating quietly in the training cabin.
Fang Heng and the two looked at each other.
"He is Arita."
Li Bo said softly.
He held his breath, carefully walked to the mechanical console aside, and quickly entered a series of instructions on the main control platform.
