Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

'Besides, the probability of increased toxicity after recombination is indeed not high, don't panic, nothing will happen...'

The director deliberately ignored the fact that the original virus was already extremely potent and did not need to be enhanced through recombination and mutation, constantly reassuring himself.

Seeing that the director had spoken, the junior lab technician had no other choice but to grit his teeth and rush toward the culture tank next to him!

dong dong dong-

Like the Grim Reaper knocking on the door, the door was knocked.

The next moment, without waiting for the lab technician's reaction, the lab door was pushed open, and Chao Yin led Suo Wei in without hesitation:

"Don't move! I am Chao Yin, here to investigate on orders from the Royal Army. Everyone, put your hands on your heads and squat down!"

Upon hearing this, all the experimental staff, including the director, as if they had rehearsed it, silently covered their heads and squatted down on the spot, motionless.

"..."

Upon seeing this, Chao Yin frowned.

'Such a coordinated reaction, they must have rehearsed it. The King's Army is like a sieve now; they even dare to leak orders from the Military Commission...'

No wonder they couldn't catch the person who invaded the royal palace!

Chao Yin snorted coldly and stepped aside, revealing Suo Wei behind him.

She strode forward and began shouting loudly:

“Yesterday, someone said you leaked military secrets, deliberately spreading a deadly virus to outsiders, disregarding the lives of millions of New Delhi citizens…”

As she spoke, she picked up a trembling lab technician, her tone dangerous:

Are you aware of this?

"I don't know, I don't know..."

The man shook his head vigorously, refusing to admit it at all.

"You don't know? Then we'll arrest you. You don't even know about something this big? That means you're an idiot. Maybe you accidentally leaked it!"

Sovie pulled out a pair of handcuffs and, with a look of terror in the man's eyes, cuffed him with her hands behind his back, saying:

"It's standing outside the door!"

The lab technician, his face ashen, walked to the door like a walking corpse.

"What about you?"

Sovie did the same thing, grabbing another person and asking with a strange laugh:

You don't know either?

"I know, I know a little bit."

The second lab technician, who had been caught by her, hurriedly said:

"I only know that there are such rumors. Our laboratory is a legitimate laboratory, and such a thing could not possibly happen."

Sovie sneered:

"Really? Then why didn't you tell that person? Were you feeling guilty and afraid of being discovered? You're quite suspicious too, there's a sign standing outside the door!"

Another zombie has been freshly produced.

Chao Yin nodded in satisfaction. Luckily, he had brought this crazy woman with him, so he didn't have to do the dirty work himself.

When they arrived, they had already reached a conclusion—no one here would agree with it.

He glanced at the several machines that were running frantically. Although he didn't recognize what kind of machines they were, he guessed they were destroying the batch of viruses that were different from the ones reported.

It's impossible to find a sample now.

It seems that the only way to find out any clues is to take them back and interrogate them slowly.

Once they reached their territory, the prisoner's dilemma was introduced, and these bookworms were no match for the interrogation of those "professionals"...

As the image of the four burly men with headscarves flashed through Chao Yin's mind, he couldn't help but sneer.

As Sovie ran around grabbing things, fewer and fewer people remained in the lab. Apart from the director, who was burying his head in the sand like an ostrich, everyone was trembling with fear, afraid that it would be their turn.

"Oh dear, the culture tanks weren't emptied. I thought you were in a hurry to destroy all the original strains. The high-pressure steam chamber must have been running all night, right?"

Sovi fiddled with the culture tank, looking at the label indicating non-toxic bacteria, a mocking smile on her face.

Among the crouching crowd, the experimenter who had mixed in the Phase III Hebola virus glanced at her worriedly, thinking:

'When you sneaked in just now, you shouldn't have accidentally spilled anything, right...?'

Even if a little bit was accidentally left behind, the female officer was wearing a protective suit, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Not long after, Chao Yin clapped his hands and said crisply:

"Alright, that's all for now. Thank you for your cooperation. People outside, please follow me."

With that, Chao Yin led the captured people toward the disinfection chamber outside the laboratory.

"Sir, do you have any leads on these people?"

Following behind the lab technicians who were queuing up for disinfection, Sovi leaned closer and quietly asked Chaoyin beside her.

Chao Yin felt a little uncomfortable with a woman so close to her, and subconsciously turned her head away to look away, saying:

"There will be clues, but there will definitely be no evidence."

"What do you mean?"

"Literally, this matter can only uncover vague clues, not definitive evidence, otherwise we will all suffer."

Chao Yin stared intently at the shadowy group of people, his expression extremely serious.

He seemed to see a burly man in those overlapping shadows—

A man named Benjamin Reichellow.

Chao Yin himself was of commoner origin, not even close to being a citizen of Baique, and his background was even worse than that of Pokson.

His background, ironically, fueled his drive to climb the social ladder.

Despite his lack of academic talent, Asahin's exceptional ability to handle unexpected events earned him the title of "Human Yorozuya" (a person who can do anything) in the King's army.

Ultimately, relying on his military achievements, he climbed step by step to a height that ordinary people could never reach.

This was undoubtedly aided by the help of Lieutenant General Hyun Pei and Major General Kafka.

Even so, he still feels powerless when facing the royal family and the nobility.

The unexpected confrontation with the third and twelfth princes a few days ago was the closest he had ever come to those princes.

But the result was that they offended them.

'A complete defeat...'

Chao Yin shook his head helplessly, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Suo Wei casually fiddling with the zipper behind her!

What are you doing!

Chao Yin's eyes widened, and he stepped forward to grab the other person's right hand:

"It hasn't been disinfected yet, how dare you take off your protective suit!"

Chao Yin was almost driven mad with anger.

He looked away for a few seconds, and that girl Sovie pulled a fast one on him!

"Oops, my hair got caught in the sand, I just wanted to loosen it. But we're not in the lab, and besides, you saw it yourself, there aren't any viruses or bacteria in that lab, they've all been destroyed, so it'll be fine..."

Despite what was said, Sovie obediently pulled the zipper back up, which finally made Chao Yin let go of her hand.

"..."

Chao Yin breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at her speechlessly.

The fact that the King's army was filled with incompetent noble officers like her allowed someone with real ability to rise so quickly.

I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing...

boom!boom!

Chao Yin and Suo Wei boarded the transport vehicle.

The car was packed with a bunch of lab personnel, all of them walking on eggshells, unsure of where they were being taken.

"So, does that mean we won't get any military merits this time?"

Sovie belatedly widened her eyes and asked incredulously.

"That's right, and you won't get military merit if you do well, but you'll be punished if you do poorly."

Chao Yin said calmly, put on his general's hat, and started the car.

He was used to this kind of thing; after all, you're one of Kakin's soldiers.

"Ugh, so boring... No military merits to be earned, and I still have to take the blame. Following you, Commander, I end up doing this kind of dirty and tiring work every few days. So boring... cough... so boring..."

Sovie sat in the passenger seat, lazily propping up her legs, and complained listlessly.

"You'll get used to it. If you can't, just bear with it. It's better than dying on the battlefield."

"Die? I won't die! I want to inherit my father's title, and then I'll have you, sir, guard my house..."

……

Three days later, Chao Yin, who vaguely felt a fever, received a text message in her dormitory:

Your subordinate, Sergeant Sovie Vidry, is dead. Her suicide note mentioned your name, and Baron Vidry wants to see you...

Chapter 375 Hunter Association Experts × Global Tension

Sovie is dead?

Chao Yin's breath hitched; he felt incredulous.

He asked incredulously:

"How is that possible? How did she die?"
