Chapter 451: Make a Choice
“Commander believes that you know the whole process of vaccine development the best. So he hopes you can make the decision. No matter what the final outcome is, we will bear the consequences together and do our best to save this world.”
“Hint: You have triggered the mission of the next stage, the eighteenth stage ring mission, the unstable vaccine.”
“Mission Name: The unstable vaccine.
Mission Description: With your help, Dark Knights have finished the unstable vaccine by developing the first-generation meteorite. This vaccine may cause mutation of the first-generation virus, or it may completely eliminate the zombie virus and make this world return to peace.
Mission Requirements: Please make your choice.
“Hint: Your choice will greatly affect the follow-up storyline of the game. Please think carefully before making a choice.”
Fang Heng looked at the game hint and stroked his chin.
He had to make a choice?
That meant he had to bet on the probability?
Come on!
Fang Heng thought that he would encounter trouble later no matter what his choice was. It was nothing more than a choice between the easy and the challenging levels.
Choosing to release the vaccine seemed more uncontrollable, and the risk factor was higher.
“Genius, why don’t you make a safer choice?”
Mo Jiawei suggested reducing the risk.
He had a clear mind.
In comparison, Fang Heng had put so much effort into District 7 for a long time and even discovered something about the hila experiment. Yet he still hadn’t completed the mission.
However, there hadn’t been any news about the hila experiment in District 8 yet. How could they save the world just like that?
Obviously, there was a trap!
Fang Heng did not make any decision immediately. Instead, he asked, “If we choose to shelve the vaccine release for now, how long will it take us to obtain the vaccine that is confirmed to be safe?”
Everyone present turned their gazes to Qiu Yaokang simultaneously.
“It’s hard to say. There are too many factors that can affect the vaccine’s development. A single mutation could change everything. It could be a year or countless decades.”
Fang Heng’s heart sank.
He also wanted to reduce the risk, but there wasn’t enough time.
Fang Heng would be exposed on the main storyline contribution points leaderboard rankings of District 8 in one and a half days.
Even if he spent all his King of Gods’ points delaying his exposure, there would be another week at the most.
On the day he was exposed, Night Owl organization would find out that District 8 had restarted the main storyline mission.
They would likely continue to make trouble.
Besides, there were also the gaming unions and Federation in District 8.
Even Kou Huai from District 7 would interfere and cause him some trouble.
At that time, the secret that he had possessed Tier 3 space tearing device might also be exposed to the outsiders.
The more Fang Heng thought about it, the more he felt bothered.
He could almost foresee many troublesome things that would happen soon.
He had to hurry up!
Fang Heng felt that he had to make a risky choice.
Although he had a feeling that it would be a trap, he had no choice but to jump in.
Fang Heng decided to struggle a little more.
“How about we make a compromise between the two options? What if we set up a small area for testing?”
David was very conflicted. He said, “It’s quite difficult to control the mutations. Testing in a small area is not meaningful. We have to at least expand the test to the entire region. But this way, the released vaccine viruses will spread through the air, water, and soil. Then we’ll probably lose control of the whole process.”
Qiu Yaokang shook his head and said, “No, we can get more information and optimize the vaccine only if we test in a large area.”
“But it’s too risky.”
David was worried. He continued, “If any accident happens, the virus will mutate after being stimulated. It’s likely to cause the vaccine to fail. Also, the zombie virus will possibly evolve into a super virus. By then, we might even destroy the world with our own hands.”
“There is indeed such a possibility, but I think it’s the most effective choice if we bet on it. Otherwise, we might not have any breakthrough even if we spend ten years,” Qiu Yaokang said. “Fang Heng, this is up to you. What do you think?”
Fang Heng was in a dilemma.
What should he do?
They were both traps.
He could only choose a shallow one.
Fang Heng scratched his hair, feeling a little upset.
He was about to answer when a thought flashed through his mind.
“Wait a minute, Qiu Yaokang. In fact, we only need to get the test data of the released vaccines before optimizing them, right?”
David puzzlingly said, “But, Fang Heng, we have to carry out a large-scale test to get the data, and the test will have a probability of mutation.”
Qiu Yaokang raised his eyebrows. He vaguely understood the hidden meaning of what Fang Heng said.
“Fang Heng, do you mean the parallel world?”
“Yes!”
Fang Heng nodded and said, “Since it’s too dangerous to test the vaccine here, I can do it in the parallel world. I believe that they will be very willing to help me.”
“That’s right! We can carry the risk to District 7!”
Hearing that, Mo Jiawei shouted out loud and clapped his hands.
He thought Fang Heng’s idea was absolutely brilliant.
If they threw the vaccine into District 7, the worst outcome would be the destruction of that district, and Federation would be screwed.
However, they would be able to collect the relevant information about the vaccine in District 7.
Suppose they were lucky that the vaccine solved the zombie virus problem. In that case, Fang Heng could earn a large number of main storyline contribution points and immediately complete the main storyline in District 7. Then he could occupy that district.
It would be a sure win anyway!
Qiu Yaokang closed his eyes and carefully considered the plan proposed by Fang Heng. He nodded and said, “Your plan is theoretically feasible.”
“But...” David was a little hesitant. “But the unstable vaccine might also have a destructive effect on the parallel world. Shouldn’t we first communicate with Dark Knights in that world?”
Fang Heng felt rather guilty.
He thought to himself, “Just forget about Dark Knights in District 7.”
They were now enemies.
“I’ll go and communicate with them. David, that world is terrible. We have to hurry. This is the best way to save the world.”
“Okay.”
David stopped insisting.
Qiu Yaokang nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll get someone to organize the information and give you a sample of the vaccine and its production method. I need to follow up on the research plan in real time and get all information related to the vaccine immediately.”
“That means I have to deliver the message between District 7 and District 8 every day, right?”
Fang Heng rubbed his shoulder and agreed.
“Well, okay.”
Then, there was a question in Fang Heng’s mind.
“After getting the vaccine, should I throw it to District 5 or 7?
Should I take the risk to Federation in District 7 or the anti-Federal organizations in District 5?”
After a short thought, Fang Heng had an answer.
“Go to District 7!”
District 5 lacked a research room. He could hardly complete the vaccine production, experimental materials sample collection, and sample analysis of the final experiment in a short time.
Yet, he could use the strength of Scavenger Army in District 7.
Considering the time, he knew the best choice was to go to District 7.
