The tasks issued by the altar are all for the purpose of maintaining the harmonious operation of various worlds.

This is what Zhang Lang told Zhang Lang before he died. At first, he didn't feel it very deeply, but thinking about it today, it is indeed true.

In order to save the world from the ravages of the virus, the altar issued a mission to kill the immune bodies. As long as the reincarnators can complete the mission and kill all the immune bodies, the research institute will have difficulty obtaining samples, and the experiments on the virus will be delayed or even fail.

However, Zhang Lang's appearance disrupted the Reincarnators' mission. He forcibly intervened, sending Sasha out of the city, who became the research institute's first experimental subject, indirectly contributing to the second viral outbreak...

In that light, he is the sinner of this world!

Zhang Lang felt guilty about this, but he did not regret it.

At the time, he didn't know the intricacies of the situation; he simply wanted to save a kind girl. Now, knowing all the details, he will do his best to make amends for his past mistakes.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lang asked, "By the way, since you escaped from the research institute, do you know Dr. Bard?"

"Bard?" Upon hearing the name, Sasha recalled for a moment: "I remember him. He was one of the heads of the research institute back then. When I first joined the institute, he led many of the early experiments."

"However, I later heard that his superiors thought his research methods were too mild, so they let others take over his project, while he was put in charge of the research on virus prevention."

At this point, Sasha sighed, "Alas, if he had always been in charge of the experiments, perhaps the tragedy that followed wouldn't have happened..."

Zhang Lang nodded. It seemed that these immune cells had a good impression of Dr. Bard, which made things easier.

"I came to McCain this time to assist Dr. Budd in retrieving his research data from back then and developing a vaccine."

"What?" Sasha exclaimed in surprise, "Dr. Bard is back?"

Zhang Lang nodded and said, "But now, both McCann City and the research institute are completely different, so it would be best to have a mentor."

"This..." Sasha looked somewhat embarrassed.

"If it's inconvenient, providing some information would also be helpful," Zhang Lang added, worried that it might put her in a difficult position.

"No..." Sasha shook her head: "Although we are immune, we were once ordinary humans. Seeing the world become like this, we also hope that the survivors of humanity can defeat the virus and rebuild order. I really want to help you make vaccines, and I can even be a guide myself."

Sasha paused at this point, her expression hesitant.

"But if I may be frank, it's probably impossible for you to infiltrate the research institute and retrieve the research data..."

Zhang Lang frowned: "What do you mean?"

Sasha sighed: "The research institute is now a nest of the Virus Prototype. Not only is it full of all kinds of mutated monsters, but the Virus Prototype has also used the institute's facilities and humans with genetic potential to create many super soldiers with special abilities through their extraordinary intelligence."

"These super soldiers basically retain the physique of humans, but possess strength far greater than that of monsters. They all wear protective suits specially designed for research institutes, and spend most of their time inside the institute, occasionally venturing out to hunt monsters and collect samples, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. Because their protective suits are printed with the words 'Project Ghost,' we call these mutated warriors Ghosts."

"To them, we immune beings are the best research material, so they attack us on sight, taking us with them regardless of life or death. More than a dozen of our compatriots have already died at their hands. The purpose of building this shelter was actually to escape the hunt of these ghosts..."

"I see..." Zhang Lang nodded. "So the reason Jess attacked me the moment he saw me was because..."

"He treats you like a ghost." Sasha patted Zhang Lang's leather coat.

"Your coat is somewhat similar to Ghost's protective suit; they look almost identical from a distance. Coupled with your terrifying power in hunting monsters in the air, Jess is terrified of you..."

"Didn't you ever consider that maybe I'm a super ghost?"

"No, that won't happen." Sasha smiled and shook her head. "Your auras are different. The aura of a ghost is like that of an emotionless monster, eerie and unfamiliar; while the feeling you give me is very similar to that of a year ago, only stronger..."

Sasha's trusting gaze warmed Zhang Lang's heart, and he immediately asked, "Since it's so dangerous, why don't you leave McKinsey?"

Sasha sighed, "We want to leave too. As our clones, the amalgam has some kind of connection with us; it can vaguely sense our presence."

"The monsters roaming around McKinsey can mask our presence, but if we leave and enter the open wilderness, that monster will immediately pinpoint our location, and then we'll be hunted by ghosts!"

At this point, Sasha's body trembled slightly. She grasped Zhang Lang's hand, her eyes filled with earnestness:

"Believe me, Zhang Lang, that monster and its ghostly army are beyond our current capabilities. Although I hope humanity can develop a vaccine soon, now is really not the time. You should take Dr. Bard away, gather resources far from McCann City, rescue survivors, and strengthen our forces. Once we have a sufficiently powerful army with more advanced weapons, then we can consider attacking McCann City!"

Looking at Sasha's fearful yet worried eyes, Zhang Lang could sense her good intentions; she was genuinely trying to comfort him.

"Don't worry," Zhang Lang said, grasping Sasha's trembling hand. "Our weapons are powerful enough!"

"You don't understand..." Sasha tried to continue persuading, "This is McKinsey City. Everything here is beyond the imagination of outsiders! You only dealt with a few monsters on the edge of the city. Deep within the city, there are even more terrifying monsters!"

"You mean those white-haired wolves?" Zhang Lang asked back.

"They're ghoul wolves!" Sasha corrected. "Each one is already incredibly strong, and when they form a pack, they're practically the undisputed rulers of the outskirts of McKinsey!"

"A hegemon? It must be very valuable!" Zhang Lang cracked his knuckles, eager to try it out.

Sasha quickly stopped him: "Don't be impulsive, Zhang Lang. You used to be so calm no matter what, why are you being so irrational now?"

"I'm being very rational..." Zhang Lang looked at Sasha's resolute eyes, finally sighed, and changed his perspective: "You just said that we need to go up and gather resources?"

Sasha paused for a moment, then nodded: "That's right. In order to keep the shelter running, we need to go up there regularly to search for resources."

"I can help." Zhang Lang placed his hand on his chest.

"What can you do to help..." Sasha's question was cut short as she stared in surprise.

She saw Zhang Lang's outline gradually blur, and then disappear without a trace in a moment!

"What's going on?" Sasha exclaimed in shock, reaching out to touch it, but her wrist was grabbed by thin air.

"This is my new ability!" Zhang Lang's voice echoed from the void before them. "I can become perfectly invisible, swaggering around right under the noses of those monsters. With my help, searching for resources will be much easier, won't it?"
