While Angel and Turing were communicating privately, a ward door was pushed open not far away.
A tired middle-aged man supported a young girl and walked out.
As he walked, he kept thanking the doctors in the ward.
Only one sentence came from the ward: "Don't forget to pay."
Then the door closed.
The middle-aged man sighed, took the guilty-looking girl and walked towards the place where the fee was paid.
These two people are naturally Erica and her daughter.
After Angel completed the task of "Book of Hundreds of Families", Erica's challenge also failed and she also woke up from a coma.
She still doesn't know what happened since she woke up.
It wasn't until the doctor asked them to pay that she suddenly realized that she seemed to be dragging her father down again.
Erica: "Father, I..."
Erica wanted to apologize to her father, but his father didn't say anything and just pulled her to the payment desk.
After paying the fee, they were ready to leave.
But the security personnel at the door stopped them: "We can't leave at the moment. We need to go to the dermatology clinic next door to get an examination report."
"Skin clinic? But, I, I don't have any skin problems..."
The security guard said expressionlessly: "This is the rule."
After he finished speaking, several security personnel around him all turned their gazes over. Their eyes were cold, as if they were working on ruthless machines.
Erica and her daughter flinched, but nodded.
"By the way, not only do you need to be examined, but your father also needs to undergo a skin examination together, otherwise he will not leave."
The words of the security personnel reached their ears.
Although Erica didn't know why, she could only accept it when people were under the roof.
…
This little episode was all caught up in Angel's eyes.
Because it was Angel who suggested Erica come to the Beverly Nursing Center, Angel took the opportunity to pay attention when he saw Erica coming out of the ward.
Unexpectedly, I saw such an episode.
"It's obviously just a small trauma, why do we need to check the dermatology department, even her father?" Angel turned his head and looked to his side. Outsiders couldn't see anything, but Angel looked through the illusion node.
, you can see a small golden TV floating inside.
Turing: "It should be related to infection."
Angel looked around at the mutants. Almost none of the mutants had intact exposed skin.
Turing: "My guess is that there may have been a certain degree of virus leakage in this nursing center. The virus contamination may have started with skin problems, so if they want to leave, they need a dermatology clinic.
Prove it."
In fact, Angel's inner guess is similar to Turing's.
The situation inside the Beverly Nursing Center is really full of problems.
The atmosphere is also extremely weird and tense.
Perhaps, there really is an unknown infection.
Moreover, Angel intuitively told him that the source of infection might be Henrietta underground...
Because of the relationship between Erica and her daughter, Angel did not go down immediately, but stopped on the first floor, waiting for their examination results.
After all, they came here for inspection and were closely related to Angel.
Angel did not want them to be forced to stay here because of him.
During their examination, Angel also used his mental perspective to sense the condition of their bodies... So far, everything seems normal.
But Angel didn't know whether there were other internal lesions, so he could only wait for the test results.
About half an hour later.
Erica and her daughter left the nursing center under Angel's watch.
Naturally, their inspection report was fine, so I could leave.
But this does not mean that the intensity of the infection is not strong this time, because Angel has already seen a mountain of medical records in the dermatology office...
Judging from the medical orders given by doctors, at least 300 people have been left in the care center in the past two days.
Most of these 300 people did not come to see the skin. They only asked for a dermatology check when they left, and that's when the problem was discovered.
There was no problem when I arrived, but after staying in the care center for a while, I developed an infection.
There is no doubt that the problem lies in the care center.
Through God's perspective, Angel checked the files of several medical offices, and even the files of the dean's office.
It is basically certain... Henrietta is the source of the infection.
However, there was no new virus in Henrietta's body. She was still infected with the virus that once ravaged the underground neighborhoods.
It's just her presence that caused the virus concentration near the nursing center to rise to an extremely high level.
This will cause some people with low immunity to be attacked by the virus and become infected.
The immune defense lines of injured patients and mutants are very weak, so they bear the brunt and become the targets of infection.
Erica and her daughter are not mutants. They can live in underground neighborhoods without being infected. Their resistance is very strong. In addition, they have not been in the nursing center for a long time, so they are naturally not affected by Henrietta.
After learning this conclusion, Angel became more certain about the significance of the existence of Beverly Nursing Center.
It is definitely not an ordinary clinic.
Perhaps, it is really a frontline laboratory opened here by Fengshang Hospital for studying viruses.
Moreover, when Angel was looking through the files, he also discovered a secret. Recently, all doctors, nurses, and security personnel at the Beverly Nursing Center had been vaccinated against mutations.
As far as Angel knows, these vaccines are only available on the surface of Modern City, and they are still in a hole. It is impossible for underground residents to get in and get injected.
But now, a large number of vaccines have been shipped to the Beverly Nursing Center and injected into medical staff.
Where do these vaccines come from? It’s almost obvious.
The answer can only be...Fengshang Hospital!
…
After the truth becomes clear.
Angel estimates that there will definitely be no shortage of side tasks at the Beverly Nursing Center.
Moreover, there is a high probability that the issue will be centered on "infectious diseases."
However, Angel did not go out of his way to look for these side quests, because these quests were endless and could not bypass Henrietta.
Just contact Henrietta directly and look at her side quests, which is actually pretty much it.
The road to the underground laboratory...is not easy.
There are too many levels.
A large number of security personnel are guarding every entrance and exit, and there are also trigger mechanisms. Once a change is sensed, the mechanism will pop up immediately.
Therefore, even if Angel was invisible and sneaked in, it took a lot of effort.
It can also be seen from this that the Beverly Nursing Center strictly prevents and controls the underground laboratory.
It took a long time before Angel arrived outside the underground laboratory.
Perhaps because of the "high viral load in the air," there is currently no one on this floor. People usually come only during experiments.
Therefore, Angel's arrival here did not attract anyone's attention.
He looked towards the door of the laboratory.
This laboratory made of special alloy has three layers of defense locks, namely iris lock, fingerprint lock, and voiceprint lock.
After the three-layer lock is opened, the experimental door cannot be opened directly, but a small hole in the door can be opened, and food and experimental equipment can be obtained inside.
Therefore, the three-layer lock is only used by logistics personnel.
If you want to enter the laboratory as a researcher, you must unlock the three-layer lock and initiate a video call to the backend terminal. After multiple confirmations, the backend will press a button to open the laboratory door.
It can be said to be extremely strict.
If it were in reality, Angel might have entered directly through the wall, but this is the Crystal Plain of Dreams.
Angel can only follow the rules.
It is easy to open the three-layer lock, but difficult to open the door.
Angel could break the door, but there was no way he could enter the laboratory without alerting outsiders.
However, he does not need to enter the laboratory, and it is not a "random mission". Only random missions require contact to be triggered.
If you are just checking NPC information, you don’t need to get close, as long as you can see the other party at a close distance.
However, if you want to see the other party, you still need to open the three locks on the door.
This is not difficult. Angel recalled the personnel information he had seen in the dean's office, determined the appearance of several people with authority, and then used God's perspective to locate each other, and after observing for a while.
Angel activated the transformation and phantom sound techniques.
There was no difficulty and the three-layer lock was successfully unlocked.
The small opening in the door was opened.
The opening, which was only the size of a baby's head, could not allow Angel to get in, but through this small opening, Angel could easily observe the ferocious mutant on the bed not far away.
It was also at the moment Angel saw the other party's appearance that the NPC information he had been waiting for jumped out.
"Henrietta Beverly"
"Henrietta Beverly was born into a happy family. Unfortunately, power breeds desire, and desire destroys family ties. In order to ascend to a high position, her father became a victim. And the Beverly Nursing Center built underground seems to be the
My father's pity is actually just an exchange of interests hidden behind lies."
"Contacting Henrietta Beverly may trigger the side mission "No Survivors (Currently cannot be triggered)"."
Angel got the NPC information as he wished.
Moreover, I also learned a horrifying truth from the NPC information. Henrietta became what she is now, entirely because of her father.
Although the background of the story is terrifying, what Angell is most concerned about is the side mission of Henrietta.
What surprised Angel was that Henrietta's side mission clearly stated that it could not be triggered at the moment?
This is the first time Angel has encountered this situation.
Looking at the information template located on the text column, Angel hesitated for a moment and tried to use the "eye movement" operation to click on the words "No Survivors".
Just as he thought, a new row of text appeared.
"The task has not yet reached the triggering conditions."
Angel looked at the glowing "Trigger Condition" words and clicked again.
New text appears again.
"To trigger this mission, you need to first complete Connors' side mission "Desperate Town"."
Connors?
Angel knew this person. When he used God's perspective to check the information in the dean's office, he saw the dean's ID card, which was called Connors.
So, if you want to take on Henrietta's mission, you need to complete a prerequisite mission first?
Is this task so troublesome?
Angel originally just wanted to see if Henrietta had a mission and what type of mission it was. If he could complete it quickly, he would try it. If he couldn't complete it quickly, he would accept the mission first and then find a way to complete it to avoid her death later.
I can't take the mission anymore.
But now he discovered that this mission was more special than he imagined.
Angel sighed and decided to go check on Connors first.
Anyway, Connors is in the dean's office, so it's not too far away.
In a few minutes, Angel arrived at the top floor of the Beverly Nursing Center. There was no protection here. Security personnel seemed to be concentrated at the major entrances and exits, and the interior of the building was relatively relaxed.
The dean's office is on this floor.
This floor seems to be dedicated to handling medical affairs, but there are not many people there. Even the doors of many offices are wide open.
Even the door to the dean's office was not closed, Angel walked in easily.
Dean Connors was working on various medical matters at his desk and did not notice anyone coming to him at all.
Angel didn't say anything, but hid in the side and watched his NPC information.
"Connors"
"Connors used to be a doctor in the Department of Infectious Diseases at Fengshang Hospital. He was sent to the Beverly Nursing Center with a mission, but when he saw countless mutants who had fallen into ruin, his heart was suddenly shaken. Especially...
, when he saw Henrietta, his belief was shattered into pieces. Why did that cute little girl become like this? Is that person really so cruel? "
"Contacting Connors may trigger the side mission "Desperate Town (currently unavailable)"."
Judging from Connors' information, he seems to be a "lawful" person.
However, what makes Angel a little speechless is that the mission on Connors cannot be triggered?!
Is this a matryoshka doll?
Angel shook his head helplessly, and followed the previous operation, clicking on the details of "Desperate Town" to see why it couldn't be triggered? Does it need to complete a new side mission?
However, when Angel read the text in the text column, his expression froze.
The prerequisite for triggering this side mission is not that you need to find someone else to continue taking on new missions, but that... the time has not yet come.
"Trigger countdown: 02:38:11"
"Trigger countdown: 02:38:10"
Angel: "???"
Why do you want to trigger this task and there is a countdown?
What will happen after this countdown ends?
Angel suddenly thought of something, and looked at the name of the side mission on Connors: The Town of Death.
"Deadly town?" Angel whispered in his heart, and then thought of Henrietta's mission: "No one survived..."
One is dead, the other is no one survived.
Moreover, from the information on Henrietta, we know that the two tasks are still related.
Angel suddenly had a bad feeling.
This "desperate" "town" couldn't be the Fourteenth Town, right?
Doesn't this "no survivors" refer to the entire residents of Town 14?
