Chapter 1263

They planned to load more potent experimental drugs into launchers and fire them into the sky, allowing them to conduct further experiments on the already mutated group.

The antidote was stored in the most heavily secured location within the entire central area.

Ning Chen thought for a moment; he had a plan. He wondered if they could swap the launched payload for the antidote or something similar during the launch.

However, it was clear that this idea would most likely remain nothing more than a thought.

After all, that place was guarded with extreme strictness.

"Why don't we just steal the antidote directly?" Lin Yi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Even if we stole it, how would we administer it to those mutated people? One by one? That's simply impossible." Facing Huo Jinglin ruthlessly dismissed Lin Yi's suggestion.

Noah also agreed: "According to Xu Chenchen's description, this launching device should use loose ammunition capable of being thrown into the air and detonated. This would ensure the antidote spreads across the entire world. Since the East District Base cannot yet create such a device, borrowing the equipment here is the most critical step."

With a clear objective, everyone became as excited as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

Regarding the drug swap, there was no rush. Ning Chen and Xiao Han would handle the person tasked with stealing and swapping the drugs, while the others would provide support.

Ning Chen and Xiao Han first scouted the surroundings at night; the two even infiltrated that room and confirmed the existence of the antidote.

However, whether the antidote was effective or not seemed unclear to them.

So Ning Chen, deciding to go all the way, took every single dose of the antidote from the place.

The next day, everyone stared at the large boxes in their home and the pile of antidotes inside, falling into deep thought.

Suddenly, a familiar aura fluctuation arrived; Lin Xiaoling's parents had come.

Ning Chen held the box and led everyone to stay in a room on the second floor.

The main reason Lin Xiaoling's parents had come this time was to check on their daughter and see if she was doing well.

"Dad, Mom, what happened?"

Xu Chenchen realized that while calling others "Mom and Dad" had felt unnatural at the very beginning, he now said it with great fluency.

"Something huge has happened. The laboratory was robbed, and something extremely important was stolen. We don't know where the thief is now. Don't go out recently; otherwise, it's simply too unsafe."

Xu Chenchen repeatedly agreed, and only after assuring them multiple times that he would not go out did he see Lin Xiaoling's parents off.

Only after Lin Xiaoling's parents left did Ning Chen and the others emerge.

"So now... what do we do?"

Judging by the tension of the situation, these potions were eighty percent likely to be real.

Ning Chen took out a syringe, drew up the potion, and walked toward Xu Chenchen.

At this, Lin Yi suddenly understood: "Right! We can have Xu Chenchen test it; after all, he is already a high-level infected person."

Upon hearing this, Noah, Mu Mu, Xu Ri, and Xu Yue all had their jaws drop in shock.

They looked at Lin Yi, realized he was not joking, and then all turned to look at Xu Chenchen with disbelief.

A high-level infected person had been right beside them for so long, yet they had not noticed it in the slightest.

Facing Huo Jinglin stepped forward and said, "He is different; he stands on our side."

Noah was the first to speak; true to someone who had weathered great storms, his adaptability was high: "Mm, we know. It's just that we are somewhat surprised, more or less."

As he spoke, Noah looked again at Xu Chenchen. To be honest, if Ning Chen were not currently conducting an experiment on Xu Chenchen, they probably would never have discovered that Xu Chenchen was a high-level infected person.

However, it was clear that Noah's extra attention toward Xu Chenchen made Facing Huo Jinglin think that Noah was somewhat concerned about Xu Chenchen's identity.

"Actually, the reason we didn't tell you is that we had no choice. You know his identity is special; without this, he could never have entered. For so long, he has indeed not harmed anyone, has he? He has also been helping us all along."

Amid Facing Huo Jinglin's words, the others gradually came to their senses.

Mu Mu spoke up: "This... this is truly amazing. For so long, I had no idea he was actually a high-level infected person."

Xu Ri calmly stated, "It doesn't matter. Sometimes, humans are more terrifying than them."
