" Leo in the basement of the warehouse in Zone C of the factory."
"The box that Capricorn brought most likely contains Void Beast."
In the restroom, Qin Ze took out a communication card and sent a message to Brother Yuanzi.
Soon, Brother Yuanzi replied.
"Knew."
Qin Ze put away the communication card.
He originally planned to take advantage of the darkness tonight and work with Thousand Faces to smuggle the box out from the inside.
But now that he knows what's in the box, Qin Ze has given up on the idea.
The risk is too high, and he cannot reveal his ability to absorb the Void Beast.
"Come check the news!"
Outside in the living room, Slacking on the Sidelines and shouting loudly.
Qin Ze washed his hands and walked out of the restroom.
The television is interrupting with an emergency news broadcast from Snow City.
The reporter, wearing a mask, spoke seriously to the camera.
Behind them, people in gray coats were carrying bodies out of body bags.
" Snow City has suddenly experienced its worst infectious disease outbreak in history."
"Symptoms include itchy skin, pustules and blisters, followed by fever, and a failure of the body's immune system."
"Based on current statistics, this unknown disease is transmitted through the air, with an infection rate as high as 90% and a mortality rate of 20% to 25%."
"More importantly, the disease can indiscriminately infect both ordinary people and martial artists."
" Snow City is currently under complete lockdown, the Abyss entrance is temporarily closed, and the Inspection Team is searching for patient zero and the source of the infection..."
The Slacking on the Sidelines, the Passerby A, and the Scholar all turned to look at Qin Ze at the same time.
It's a disease that can infect martial artists, just like the one Qin Ze had last time.
Without a doubt, this was done by Capricorn.
"Is he planning to massacre the entire city?" he said Slacking on the Sidelines.
The Scholar said calmly, "If we're talking about massacring the entire city, the mortality rate would be a bit too low. It should be at least fifty percent."
Passerby A frowned. "What does he mean by that?"
"A protest? Or is it just deliberately trying to disgust people?"
Slacking on the Sidelines, "If Capricorn dares to cause trouble in Snow City, he's probably not far from his death."
Snow City is a vital city in the Human Race world, containing the entrance to the Abyss.
In other words, Snow City absolutely cannot be allowed to descend into chaos.
Qin Ze thought of the Mobile Team members who had made contact with Capricorn, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him.
"Idiots will never be part of the Twelve Zodiac Signs."
" Capricorn doing this are very likely paving the way for the company."
The Slacking on the Sidelines, puzzled, "What kind of road are you paving?"
Qin Ze asked in a deep voice, "Who is the largest supplier of medical supplies in Snow City?"
The Slacking on the Sidelines widened its eyes. " Black Mountain Biotechnology!"
Qin Ze nodded. "A disease that left the Inspection Team helpless was easily resolved by the company. What reason does the Inspection Team have to stop the Mobile Team from deploying in Snow City?"
A news flash was then broadcast on television.
The image shows a company spokesperson standing in front of a group of reporters armed with cameras and microphones.
"According to research by experts at the Black Mountain Corporation's Snow City branch, the disease is caused by a virus that mutated from a strange beast."
"Because many people in Snow City frequently travel between the world and the Abyss, the virus was brought out of the Abyss by them."
"Our biological experts named this virus Y Virus, and it is extremely strong in both infectivity and survival ability."
A reporter immediately asked, "Are there any treatment options?"
The company spokesperson smiled slightly, "Our experts have conducted extensive research on this virus, and made their findings as early as two years ago. You can find some of the papers on relevant websites."
"Experts at the Snow City branch have developed a specific drug based on previous research data, and after injections into several volunteers, their conditions have improved."
The spokesperson stepped aside, and several patients lying in hospital beds appeared on the large screen behind him.
The pustules on their bodies had all subsided, leaving only mottled marks, and their complexions had improved significantly.
Facing the camera, they expressed their gratitude to the company.
The spokesperson continued, "As you can see, our developed drug is very effective and has no side effects."
"Upon learning of the situation in Snow City, the company headquarters immediately dispatched a group of medical experts and pharmaceutical resources to Snow City via special train overnight."
"I know that some people have some misunderstandings about our Chamber of Commerce and the companies within Chamber of Commerce."
But all of these are just rumors!
"The company and everyone else live in the same world; we share the same civilization and the same race!"
"As a member of this big family, the company naturally hopes that this family will get better and better."
"The company will not forget its important responsibility to ensure the future of Human Race."
"I believe the company will improve under public scrutiny."
"With everyone's joint efforts, our world will stand at the pinnacle of Myriad Races!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh--
The press conference ended, and the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
The Scholar turned and glanced at Qin Ze: "You were right."
Slacking on the Sidelines.
This young man.
The invisible Passerby A spoke up, "This isn't just a conspiracy, it's a blatant, overt scheme."
The Scholar said in a deep voice, "Where the wind passes, it leaves a trace."
" The Inspection Team is determined to investigate, and they will definitely find something, but that will have to wait until after the company has cured Snow City of this disease."
"The current Inspection Team is overwhelmed and has no time to investigate these matters."
Qin Ze narrowed his eyes slightly.
What if a beast tide were to raze Snow City to the ground?
In this way, no trace will be left.
By then, the company had already earned a good reputation among the unsuspecting public by curing the entire city.
It will be very difficult for either Council or the Military Department to stop the company's future plans.
The key vibrates.
It was Brother Yuanzi who initiated a chat with all members.
Qin Ze made another excuse to go to the restroom.
This is good for everyone.
[ Yao Yuan: I already know the situation.]
[ Yao Yuan: Capricorn brought a Void Beast, it's in that sealed box.]
[ Yao Yuan: To avoid any unforeseen complications, I will lead the Inspection Team tonight.]
No one in the group expected that the Void Beast would be involved.
If the Void Beast are not dealt with in time, they could trigger a beast tide.
The Scholar muttered to himself, "Good method, using Void Beast to clean up everything."
[ On the Slacking on the Sidelines: Our "Dew Duo" will definitely lend a hand to the event tonight!]
[ Scholar: I'll go take a look too]
[ Beast Tamer: How do we solve this "plague"? Do we really have to use the company's medicine?]
Qin Ze was not entirely at ease with the company.
Who knows if they'll end up like Gong Shangyu, using some kind of miracle drug to plant the seed?
[ Fairies Don't Poop: It's simple, Capricorn is the "source of plague." Once he dies, the Disease Spores that have been spreading will die on their own.]
[ Fairies Don't Poop: Capricorn's cultivation level is 8.5. Other Constellations might help, so be careful.]
Qin Ze blinked.
The Fairy He Fang knows everything about Fairness Society, if not inside and out.
