Chapter 428: Cook Barn’s Notes
“Hint: Your team members have killed an unknown lifeform. You have obtained 6,892 survival points. ”
“Hint: Your team members have killed an unknown lifeform. You have obtained 30 main storyline contribution points. ”
“Hint: player has completed the mission ‘Scavenger Army Crisis (mission requirements 2) : search for Cook Barn’s remnants. ”
After five seconds, the light of the silent domain dissipated.
Phew...
Fang Heng gasped for air.
He was careless.
Who would have expected that it was actually a trap?
Moreover, the worm actually had the ability to use spiritual attacks!
Cook Barn actually wanted to trick him even after his death!
Fang Heng’s face was gloomy as he turned around to look at Ni Shengtao and Osborne.
Both of them were still in fear. Their bodies were drenched in cold sweat, and their faces were pale.
Ni Shengtao put away his shotgun. “Commander Fang Heng, are you okay? ”
“Yes, I’m fine... What is that thing? Do you know? ”
“I’m not sure. This room is very secretive. Mr. Cook never allows outsiders to come near. Other than me and a few trusted aides, no one else knows about the existence of this place. ”
Fang Heng lowered his head and pondered.
Did Cook Barn want to use this worm body to control the next leader of the Scavenger Army?
However, Cook Barn did not calculate that after his death, the next commander had not ever drunk the divine potion, so the worm body’s spiritual attack on him was not as strong as on Ni Shengtao and Osborne.
“Apart from the box, did Cook Barn leave anything behind? For example, a place to store research or confidential information? ”
“The data room is on the 12th basement. When we were attacked by the intruders just now, the data room was still under repair... Ah! That’s right! ” Ni Shengtao suddenly thought of something. “Mr. Cook often stays here alone for an entire night. Sometimes, he brings in and out some things. It’s very mysterious. I was wondering if there’s a special secret passage in this room. ”
Fang Heng’s eyes lit up.
“Do you have a blueprint of the research institute’s interior? ”
“Yes. ”
Ni Shengtao took out the internal blueprint that he carried with him and handed it over.
Fang Heng analyzed the blueprint and noticed a small problem with the structure of the building. There might be a hidden room.
Fang Heng slowly walked to the left wall.
Raising his head, Fang Heng clenched his fist and fiercely smashed it against the wall.
Bang!
There it was!
The vibration coming from the wall told Fang Heng that there was something else behind the wall!
Six Tyrant forms strode forward, raised their huge fists, and fiercely smashed them against the wall.
Bang! Bang, bang!
Not long after, a huge crack appeared on the stone wall.
“Do you sense any danger? ” Fang Heng turned to look at Ni Shengtao and Osborne.
The two shook their heads. “I don’t sense anything. ”
“Let’s go in and check it out. ”
...
“Hint: you’ve discovered the secret research room of Cook Barn. ”
“Hint: you’ve obtained 20 main storyline contribution points. ”
Fang Heng entered the secret room through the opening.
The automatic sensor light in the room lit up.
“Secret research room... related to the main storyline, ” Fang Heng whispered and looked around the research room.
There were rows of bookshelves lined up on the left side of the wall of the research room and a large-sized cultivation pod on the right side.
The cultivation pod was in operation and connected to the experimental table on the other side.
Ni Shengtao and Osborne carefully raised their shotguns and followed Fang Heng into the room.
Just then, Osborne noticed something. His eyelids twitched and he pointed to a metal box placed on the table not far away. “Fang Heng, look at that. It’s that box I told you about before, the one I found in the Meteorite Company’s emergency shelter. ”
Hearing that, Fang Heng immediately looked in the direction Osborne pointed.
The moment he saw the metal box, Fang Heng’s pupils constricted.
The outer layer of the metal box was clearly marked with Meteorite Company’s logo!
This time, Fang Heng was careful. He did not walk forward directly. Instead, he controlled the Tyrants to walk forward and pick up the metal box on the table.
The box was not locked.
There seemed to be some damage on the outside.
“It’s empty? ” thought Fang Heng. He walked up and checked the empty box while asking, “Where’s the item inside? ”
Osborne walked up and shook his head as well. “Commander Cook and I found some information related to the first-generation meteorite research in Meteorite Company’s secret shelter. After that, we searched the ruins for a long time before we found the box. ”
He continued, “To be safe, we didn’t open the box immediately. When we returned to the temporary shelter, Commander Cook personally studied the box. I don’t know what was in the box. ”
Fang Heng put down the box and looked around again.
Could the bookshelves... ” he mused.
There was a row of bookshelves on the right side of the room, and in games, books often meant clues.
Fang Heng walked to the bookshelf and picked up a book.
“Hint: you have obtained research notes (November) ”
Book: Cook Barn’s research notes (November) .
Reading requirement: 11 Intellligence, 6 Will.
Description: after reading, you will be able to obtain some experience points related to potion making. There is a very small probability of mastering the skill.
Description (triggered by the mission ‘Scavenger Army Crisis : the book has records of Cook Barn’s research material. It may contain the formula of the divine potion’s formula. After reading it, the success rate of developing the divine potion will be increased.
“Great stuff! These books are materials of Cook Barn’s recent research on worm bodies and potions, and there’s a whole row of them! ” Fang Heng mused as he put the books into his backpack one by one.
When the zombies came back, he would let them read all of them! Then, he might be able to develop the divine potion!
“Eh? ” At the bottom of the bookshelf, Fang Heng discovered an extremely old book covered with a thick layer of dust.
“Hint: you have obtained Cook Barn’s notebook. ”
Fang Heng’s heart stirred. He immediately opened the notebook and flipped through it.
Other than mostly denoting most of the research notes and research insights, the notebook contained diary entries.
October 12th’s entry read: “This is the 475th day of my battle with it. I realized that I’ve already reached a certain balance with it. It can no longer control my will, and I could no longer chase them out of my body. The benefits are obvious. Every aspect of my body has improved dramatically, and I’m even immune to the zombie virus. Maybe this is a way to immunize against the zombie virus? If I could study it further... It’s impossible. The Dark Knights think I’m a monster. Since they won’t accept me, I’ll find the answer in my own way. ”
January 28th’s diary entry read: “Yesterday, I lost control again. The worm body inside me was still trying to eat away at my body. I felt like it was craving something. I will continue resisting it anyway. ”
