"If it couldn't even leave the lab, how did it leak out and infect the whole world?" Looking at the writhing, twisting viral organism in the lab, Catherine posed the crucial question. (Google search reading)

"It was us..." Dr. Bard lowered his head slightly and slowly recounted the secrets of that year: "The Eternal Virus was originally created for Project Ghost. Although the first phase failed, resulting in the devastating destruction of a city, the military and the government did not abandon the plan."

"We started selecting immune individuals from civilians around the world under the guise of medical experiments, then gathered them here and tried to modify their bodies with a virus... I was in charge of this project in the early stages, but there was not much progress, so the research institute changed its main person in charge."

"The person who succeeded me was under immense pressure and acted very radically, conducting many extreme experiments that even led to the deaths of many immune cells. But even so, the results were minimal. Finally, under pressure from the military, the new leader took a desperate gamble and began this insane fusion experiment."

"In his view, the Ghost Project has been slow to progress because a single immune system is too weak and cannot withstand the virus. Therefore, he plans to merge all the surviving immune systems into a more powerful individual that can withstand a more powerful virus and create the strongest organism."

"This is what we've created through fusion?" Catherine stared at the twisted creature behind the glass. "Is this the result you wanted?"

"In a sense, it really is," Dr. Bard sighed. "While the fusion is ugly, twisted, and even lacks basic mobility, it can indeed coexist harmoniously with the virus. Although it has almost no combat ability, injecting its tissue extracts into humans does have a certain probability of creating individuals with special abilities!"

"Does that mean the experiment was a success?" Ning Chengyu raised an eyebrow.

"That's what we initially thought..." Dr. Bard continued, "Although the success rate was very low, we did create a group of superhumans, and even those who failed only had a high fever for a few days, with almost no serious side effects, and they were not contagious. It was almost a perfect result."

"In order to write a good report, the head of the research institute increased the scale of the experiment. More and more soldiers were injected with extracts of the monster's tissue. Those who successfully gained the ability were even organized into a separate team called the Ghost Squad."

"Just when we thought everything was on track, those guys who failed in the experiments suddenly went berserk, attacking those around them like zombies! The reason we say they were like zombies is because these guys didn't have most of the characteristics of zombies. They didn't spread the virus, and their bodies didn't rot. They just seemed to have suddenly lost their memories and intelligence, turning into raging beasts..."

"What about those successful test subjects?" Ning Chengyu pressed.

"They haven't lost their minds..." Dr. Bard shook his head, "but intelligent madmen are even more terrifying!"

"For some reason, the Ghost Squad suddenly betrayed us and invaded the research institute. Because this happened without any prior warning, and because they were regulars at the institute, coupled with the aid of their newly awakened, bizarre abilities, they almost instantly took control of the entire institute, killed the person in charge at the time, and then, before the military could react, spread the virus as quickly and as far as possible..."

"Why is that?" The reincarnators were puzzled. They had gained abilities, so why would they betray humanity?

"We don't know either..." Dr. Bard sighed. "After all, the world embarked on a path of destruction after that. I've been on the run ever since, and this is the first time I've returned to the research institute since that day."

"I guess I know..."

It was Zhang Lang who spoke, turning his head to look at the distorted viral organism in the laboratory.

He recalled something Sasha had said: the virus progenitor could sense their presence... What if it could not only sense them, but also control them?

"You know?" Dr. Bard looked at Zhang Lang, somewhat surprised that this silent giant would speak at this moment.

Zhang Lang nodded and pointed to the fused monster behind the glass: "I want to go in and talk to it."

"Talk to it...?" Dr. Bard looked bewildered. "No... Although the monster inside is made up of many people, it's no longer human, and it doesn't have human intelligence or thought. There's no way to talk to it... Besides, although the monster can't move, it's still dangerous to get too close if it goes berserk."

"Is it infectious?" Zhang Lang asked.

"No, not at all..." Dr. Bard shook his head. "As I said before, even if humans were injected with its tissue extract, they wouldn't be infected with the virus; it would just affect their minds..."

"Then there's no problem..." With that, Zhang Lang raised his hand and waved it a few times, managing to cut a neatly shaped triangle out of the sturdy, thick bulletproof glass. As the triangular glass fell to the ground, an indescribable stench emanated from it.

"Waaaah..." Even though they knew it wasn't contagious, the reincarnators still covered their noses and backed away, some even putting on gas masks.

Only Zhang Lang braved the stench and went inside, standing before the monster.

For some reason, when Zhang Lang entered, the monster, which occupied half of the laboratory and whose flesh had grown into the walls, twitched and shrank back a little, as if it was afraid of something.

"I know you are wise," Zhang Lang said, his voice calm yet gentle.

Whether the monster understood or not, its huge, twisted body convulsed for no reason, and its twisted limbs began to writhe unnaturally.

Faced with this horrifying sight, Zhang Lang remained unmoved and continued, "I also know that you are not a monster, at least not originally..."

The virus's body trembled even more violently, and its exposed, enormous heart began to beat faster.

Seeing this, a hint of pity flashed in Zhang Lang's eyes, and he sighed softly: "I also know that you are very beautiful and optimistic, very kind and brave, you like gossip and love sweets... Before the world ends, you, like millions of other young girls in the world, are full of hope for the future, looking forward to a bright tomorrow and the 8 pm drama..."

"Right... Sasha?"
