"Ahem, Liang Boss, didn't you just say that this hotel was built by you?"
Fang Xinhan nodded, indicating that he hadn't misheard.
"How did you do it?"
Lin Yue asked her question.
Fang Xinhan pulled out a block with a house-like pattern on it.
"Item Name: Hotel Block"
"Type: Consumable"
"Quality: Common"
"Effect: Place this block on the ground to automatically generate a hotel. The item disappears after use."
"(Note: A towering building rises from the ground, fully equipped in less than a second. Instant construction.)"
"Liang Boss, are you selling this?"
"Maybe, depending on market conditions. But for now, let's go inside first."
Fang Xinhan gestured for the others to go in first, then he found a Forbidden Torch from his portable crafting table and stuck it into the ground outside the hotel.
"Item Name: Forbidden Torch"
"Type: Consumable"
"Quality: ?"
"Effect: When a Forbidden Torch is placed, it generates a strong force field that pushes away surrounding monsters. Friendly creatures are unaffected. It can push monsters within 4 meters away by 11 meters. The pushing force from multiple torches stacks, including direction, similar to 'composition of forces'."
"But please don't trust it completely; it sometimes makes mistakes."
"(Note: Monsters and ghosts, begone! Monsters and ghosts, begone!)"
"Most of the dangers have been eliminated; this should be enough for now."
Entering the hotel, everyone was truly stunned. It was exactly like a real hotel.
Only, there was no one here, so they could stay wherever they wanted.
"You all choose your rooms; I'll go cook."
After Fang Xinhan finished speaking, he entered the kitchen. The others could only look around and then go choose their rooms.
The hotel had three floors, and basically all the functions a normal hotel would have were present in this instant-build hotel.
While Fang Xinhan was cooking, the others discussed countermeasures.
Everyone felt that Lin Weiwei should not participate in this mission because she was too young, and there was a high possibility of accidents occurring in the upcoming tasks they faced.
"But Weiwei can protect herself."
Lin Weiwei's cheeks puffed out like an angry little pufferfish.
"Weiwei, please listen to your auntie, okay? This is for your own good. Otherwise, I'll tell your dad, and I won't play with you anymore."
Hearing this, Lin Weiwei pouted and squatted to the side, drawing circles.
"We are now very close to the Biological Laboratory, but we know nothing about its structure, defenses, etc."
Lin Yue said.
"Let's ask Liang Boss later. His item shop always comes up with new tricks. Maybe he has an item that can be used for stealthy reconnaissance."
10 minutes later...
"No."
Fang Xinhan's answer was simple and clear. Was he Doraemon or something? Could he do anything?
"Then we're screwed. Tomorrow, we'll just have to wing it."
Yuan Qingchen said, picking up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and putting it into his mouth.
"Liang Boss, is there really no other way?"
Qin An asked, unwilling to give up.
"Not necessarily. Give me your beleaguer."
Qin An was a bit confused but still handed the beleaguer to Fang Xinhan. Then, Fang Xinhan operated on the beleaguer, and a precise small flying machine flew out of it.
"No, how did you... Oh, I almost forgot Nexus is your friend."
Qin An was about to ask Fang Xinhan how he knew the beleaguer had such a function, but then he remembered his connection with Ultraman and instantly understood.
"I asked Nexus to send you TLT equipment because I want you to have ways to deal with any situation in the future."
"Didn't the person who gave you the equipment tell you how to use it?"
Hearing this, Qin An's old face flushed. The person who distributed the equipment had explained how to use it, but he had fallen asleep while listening.
When he woke up, he only asked others how to use the basic functions of the equipment. Now, he realized he had missed a lot of things.
Fang Xinhan skillfully controlled the small drone, making it fly around and even perform a backflip.
"Wait for me a moment; I'm going to get a blueprint for the Biological Laboratory."
Fang Xinhan quickly finished his dinner, then released Ford, told him to clean up after dinner, and then stepped onto his hoverboard and flew towards the Biological Laboratory.
As Fang Xinhan flew, he noticed several anti-aircraft guns rising from the ground in front of the Biological Laboratory, aiming at him.
Fang Xinhan: ?
Then the anti-aircraft guns began to fire at Fang Xinhan.
"You f***ing ****."
Fang Xinhan cursed loudly, but he dodged while cursing, then pulled straight up and flew towards the sky.
The missiles had tracking capabilities and flew towards Fang Xinhan after detecting his trajectory.
Fang Xinhan did not slack off. He took out his Energy Burst Gun and fired at the missiles.
"Boom boom boom!"
Continuous explosions rang out in the air. Fang Xinhan had no intention of just going back like this.
Fang Xinhan took out an ender pearl and threw it downwards, then drank an invisibility potion. When the ender pearl touched the gate of the Biological Laboratory, Fang Xinhan was teleported there.
Since Fang Xinhan was currently invisible, he did not attract the attention of anything else.
Fang Xinhan activated the power of the Ectos Eye, and through his vision, he could see that the red mist was already very dense.
Fang Xinhan quietly infiltrated the Biological Laboratory, then released a small drone and inserted its port into a computer to connect to the local area network.
"Now I'll just take a quick look at what you're up to."
Then, Fang Xinhan used the network here to briefly understand what had happened.
Five years ago, personnel from the Kokolik Biological Laboratory found a still-wriggling piece of flesh during a mission.
However, this wriggling flesh could not be destroyed by any method, and they even extracted blood from it for experiments.
The experimental results were quite unexpected: no matter what animal was used, it would eventually become very aggressive and assimilative.
That's right, they wanted to increase their numbers and then obtain a certain substance from their kind to further evolve.
And 250 days ago, to further the experiment, the staff began human trials.
They found a volunteer, then first injected him with diluted blood. After some time, they found no major abnormalities, so they continued to inject less diluted blood.
Finally, the volunteer actually proactively requested blood, and his behavior also began to resemble that of the experimental animals.
The report ended abruptly here.
Combining the currently known information, Fang Xinhan speculated that this substance should be the red mist he saw with the Ectos Eye.
"But there are still many unanswered questions."
Since entering the laboratory, Fang Xinhan had found it completely empty, with no signs of any struggle.
Fang Xinhan found the surveillance footage from that day in the database.
On the footage, a group of experimenters in white coats watched the already mutated volunteer through a glass wall in front of them.
The volunteer was seen banging on the glass wall with both hands, shouting something.
