Chapter 2153 Lead the Way


    Eidrd''s legs trembled as he watched this terrifying scene. He felt that the person in front of him was a demon!


    "I don''t like to be deceived. I hope you can cooperate, or else you will die even more miserably. Now, I need a researcher''s uniform."


    Eidrd dared not deceive anymore. Trembling, he walked to a nearby cab, took out a researcher''s outfit, and handed it to Fang Heng. Then he said, "I know about the Niam alloy. My colleague works there. I wasn''t lying to you. However, ess to the advanced research institute area is temporarily locked, and the password is ''Eye Lock.'' I can''t disable the lock. I can only take you there."


    "Yes, lead the way."


    Fang Heng changed into a researcher''s uniform and left theboratory room with Eidrd. He once again released his perception to sense the situation outside.


    Without the help of the Lickers and the worms, the speed of the tree spirits invading the research institute was greatly reduced.


    It was also quite good.


    The tree spirits helped him attract the attention of OmniTech Company, which was why he could sneak into the underground area of the research institute so easily.


    He still had plenty of time.


    Soon, Fang Heng entered the underground high-tier research area of the research institute under the guidance of Eidrd.


    The path ahead was blocked by a falling metal door.


    "We''re here. The S-level research institute is inside. The research institute has just entered crisis mode, and the entrance is now sealed. I''m not lying to you."


    Eidrd looked at Fang Heng carefully and shrunk his neck.


    "Aren''t you going to help me open it?"


    "No, it''s not possible. The relevant keys are only essible to the project''s direct supervisor and personnel with supervisor-level permissions or higher in the research institute. Plus, it requires iris verification. We can''t get in."


    Fang Heng turned to look at the alloy metal door in front of him.


    He had no choice.


    This time, Mo Jiawei didn''t follow them.


    He could only force it.


    Fang Heng was about to go up and try to smash the door when he suddenly heard a cracking sound.


    "Eh?"


    The alloy metal door slowly opened in front of him.


    Fang Heng was surprised to see the person standing across the door.


    Ji Haiting!


    Ji Haiting appeared in front of Fang Heng under the protection of a group of psychic-modified guards.


    Although invisible, Fang Heng could clearly perceive that there was a thick mental space barrier between them.


    The guards beside Ji Haiting looked tense, their eyes fixed firmly on Fang Heng.


    "Fang Heng, I''m very happy to meet you again."


    "It''s you again. What a coincidence."


    "Hahaha, isn''t this fate?"


    Ji Haitingughed. He looked at Fang Heng and said, "Fang Heng, you are very powerful. Your strength has exceeded my expectations again. No wonder even the spawns are so afraid of you."


    Spawns?


    Fang Heng''s heart skipped a beat.


    As expected!


    This world was rted to spawns.


    Fang Heng nced at Ji Haiting''s guards who were on high alert and asked with a frown, "You noticed me long ago? Have you been waiting for me?"


    "Not really. We just arrived. Actually, I was just about to leave. Coincidentally, the system notified me that someone had entered the outside of the research institute. I felt that there might be a problem, so I came over to take a look. I didn''t expect it to be you." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Ji Haiting looked at Fang Heng with sincerity. He spread his hands and said, "Fang Heng, I''ll say it again. If you''re keen, we can work together."


    Ji Haiting paused for a moment and extended another invitation to Fang Heng. "It''s not about cooperating with the Federation or the alien spawn. It''s something more personal. It''s about partnering with me, with the OmniTech Company that I control. Trust me, together we can create the future."


    [Hint: The yer has triggered the choice mission-invitation to cooperate with OmniTech Company.]


    Mission title: Invitation to cooperate with OmniTech Company.


    Mission description: The chairman of OmniTech Company, Ji Haiting, has sent you an invitation to cooperate with you privately.


    [Hint: This cooperation is private. If the yer agrees, the yer can still belong to the tree spirit camp.]


    [Hint (triggered by the yer''s early mission reward): This choice will greatly reduce the friendliness of the tree spirits and greatly increase the difficulty of the mission. It is not rmended to choose this mission line.]


    Fang Heng nced at the mission notification.


    For a moment, he was actually a little tempted.


    However, the game rewards didn''t rmend this route.


    Fang Heng said after some thought, "If it''s possible, I need some time to consider it."


    Ji Haiting was stunned.


    He thought that Fang Heng would reject him as straightforwardly as before, but he did not expect to receive an answer of agreement this time. He immediatelyughed and said, "Hahaha, good! Of course, anytime!"


    Ji Haiting nodded to his subordinate, and a maic card flew into Fang Heng''s hand through the spiritual barrier.


    "My contact information is on it. As long as I activate my spiritual power and confirm that you''re within the range of the spiritual domain seal, I''ll be able to immediately sense your location and pay you a visit personally."


    [Hint: The yer has obtained an item-unknown maic card.]


    Fang Heng put away the card and nodded, "Now I need to get the Niam alloy. You will stop me, right?"


    "No, you guessed wrong."


    Ji Haiting spread his hands and said, "It''s just the Niam alloy. If you want it, I can give it to you at any time. I only hope to get an answer from you. I hope you can answer me seriously."


    "Please ask."


    "I''ve investigated your identity. I guess you''re not from our world, so I want to know your camp. Who are you working for now? Ouroboros?"


    When Fang Heng heard this, his pupils constricted and his expression changed slightly.


    "What?"


    "Ouroboros, Fang Heng, we''ve uploaded a sample of the Licker you controlled to the spiritual domainwork. We''ve detected traces of Ouroboros''s gene fragments."


    Ji Haiting looked at Fang Heng and continued, "You are probably well aware of the intensity of the spawns'' pursuit of Ouroboros. Although I have temporarily hidden this information using my personal strength, the spawns will still intervene and investigate. You don''t have much time left to consider. Once they discover your trail..."


    "You definitely won''t be able to escape!"


    Fang Heng frowned.


    He found a gene fragment rted to Ouroboros from the Licker?


    What was going on?


    Was it the H virus?


    The undying body effect was rted to the H virus, so the Licker''s body might have been contaminated with the Ouroboros gene fragment.


    There was another possibility.


    It was him!


    The Ouroboros gene fragment was inherited by the Licker from him!


    Or were there other possibilities?


    Ji Haiting looked at Fang Heng, who was deep in thought. After a while, he urged, "Fang Heng, there''s not much time left. I need to go. I need an answer."


    Fang Heng raised his head and said, "No, I work for myself."


    "Hahaha! That''s great! Me too!"


    Ji Haiting looked at Fang Heng with approval and continued, "The Niam alloy is in Research Laboratory No. 3. You can have as much as you want. I''ll say it again. I''ve been looking forward to working with you. When you''ve thought it through, you can contact me anytime."
