Ling Luxian stepped on the accelerator and the car sped towards the Sunset Hotel.

At noon, the three arrived at the hotel on time. Ling Luxian took Qiwei and Jack to the agreed room and met the client.

"You are finally here." The flat-headed young man stood up and shook hands with Ling Luxian. "Vincent, you are a member of the Buckle family."

Vincent? Plus he's a member of the Buckle family. Case solved, it turns out to be V-boy.

But he looks very young now. That's right, he is only in his early twenties now, and in his previous life he would have just graduated from college.

Vincent said, "We invited you here this time because we discovered something strange about the Red Ochre Tribe. They seem to have suffered an outbreak of a strange disease..."

Red ochre?

Hearing this name, Ling Luxian frowned slightly.

Seems to be a victim of Project Nightingale.

Project Nightingale is a confidential experiment led by military technology and supported by biotechnology.

In order to improve the anti-biochemical capabilities of military technology soldiers, biotechnology needs to develop a new antibiotic.

To this end, they even poisoned the Red Ochre Tribe.

Let them be the guinea pigs for your own experiments.

"So you hope that we can investigate this disease and find a treatment?" Ling Luxian said straight to the point.

Vincent nodded. "To be honest, due to the epidemic, we dare not contact the Red Ochre Tribe without permission. Now we can only rely on you."

From the communication in the morning, I felt that this boy was dull.

Now it seems that he is indeed a young and foolish man. How could he directly say that he was being taken advantage of by others?

As expected of the famous V, this is the reason why he takes such stupid jobs.

Just because Ling Luxian didn't say anything doesn't mean that others won't say anything. Jack won't tolerate this kid.

Jack crossed his arms across his chest, taking advantage of his height, and looked down at Vincent.

"Can I take it that you're using us as cannon fodder? Huh?!"

Looking at the burly man in front of him who was as strong as an iron tower, Vincent, who was not in the right to begin with, took a few steps back guiltily.

“No, no, no, of course that’s not what I meant.” Vincent waved his hands quickly, “As long as you can complete the task, you can name any price.”

"So what if you open a store casually? The middleman will take 80% of the commission. Do you dare to do business without the middleman? Your reputation will be ruined if you do that." Jack complained unreasonably.

A drop of cold sweat ran down Vincent's forehead.

"As long as you complete the mission, you will be friends of our Buckle family. If there is any trouble in the Bad Land in the future, we will definitely help you to the end."

Ling Luxian nodded slightly, "Let's not rush to discuss terms. You just said that a strange disease broke out in the Red Ochre Tribe. What are the specific symptoms?"

Vincent took out a report and handed it to Ling Luxian, "This is some of the information we have at the moment, take a look."

Ling Lu took the report and read it carefully. Qiwei and Jack also came over to take a look.

After reading the report, Ling Luxian frowned even more tightly. "This kind of virus has never been seen before. If we don't find a solution as soon as possible, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous."

“Also, according to reports, this virus is highly contagious and must be handled with caution,” Qiwei added.

"I suggest we first enter the Red Ochre Tribe to understand the situation and take protective measures." Ling Luxian expressed his thoughts.

Vincent nodded in agreement, "Thank you very much."

"It's no trouble. You have to come with us." Jack said with a smirk.

Vincent smiled wryly.

"What are you doing~ Ouch~"

"Okay, let's go now." Ling Luxian turned around and left the room with Qiwei and Jack.

Jack pulled Vincent towards the car.

Arriving not far from the Red Ochre Tribe, Ling Luxian found that the people here looked haggard and many of them were coughing incessantly.

Ling Luxian frowned and said, "Get out of the car. The protective gear is in the trunk. Put it on before going over."

"Received." x3

Quickly putting on chemical protective suits, Ling Lu led the three people towards the Red Ochre Tribe.

The people of the Red Ochre Tribe saw several people in chemical protective suits approaching and thought they were biotech people.

"Thank God, you are finally here." The middle-aged man leading the group walked forward quickly, his eyes full of expectation, "Did you bring the medicine?"

Ling Luxian quickly explained: "We are not from the biotechnology industry. We are from the Buckle family and are here to learn about the situation."

“Aren’t you here to deliver medicine?” The Red Ochre leader looked visibly disappointed.

Then he pulled himself together and said, "I am Augustine, as you can see, the leader of the Red Ochre. The wanderers are all one family, please come in."

"Augustine, we have a question to ask you. When did this situation start to happen to you?" Ling Luxian asked.

"About a week ago," Augustine recalled, "at first only a few people got sick, and we didn't take it too seriously, thinking it was just a common cold.

But soon, more and more people were getting sick, all with the same symptoms. We tried everything, but nothing worked.”

Ling Luxian frowned, "This virus spreads so quickly, there must be some special reason. Did you notice anything unusual? For example, what did you touch or what food did you eat?"

Augustine shook his head. "We have been leading a normal life and have not come into contact with anything special. All the food is purchased from the previous suppliers."

Ling Luxian fell into deep thought. Since the food source was the same, the water source might have been tampered with.

However, we cannot rule out the suspicion of suppliers, so we still have to do both.

Ling Luxian suggested: "Let's go take some samples first to see where the problem is."

"Okay." Augustine nodded repeatedly.

After sampling the food ingredients and water, Ling Luxian said goodbye to Augustine.

Ling Luxian and his team returned to the hotel and handed the samples to professionals for testing.

While waiting for the results, they were not idle and asked around for news about the Red Ochre Tribe.

Soon, the test results came out and it was found that there was nothing wrong with the food; the problem was with the water source.

Someone had introduced a new man-made virus into the water supply that developed rapidly and was highly contagious.

"It seems that someone is deliberately targeting the Red Ochre Tribe." Ling Luxian said.

"Maybe competitors from other tribes?" Jack guessed.

Vincent stroked his chin and said, "For example, those bastards called Night Walker?"

From a God's perspective, Ling Luxian has already seen through the clues. He knows very well that biotechnology is behind all this.

However, we can’t just say it directly, right?

So he cleverly said, “Well, if you think about it, this doesn’t seem likely to happen, does it?

After all, it is not something that ordinary people can do to create such a powerful virus.

I think there must be a powerful force behind this.

As for where this power comes from... I would say it's most likely those bastards in biotechnology who are secretly causing trouble!

You see, they are in a hurry to cooperate with Red Ochre these days. There must be something fishy going on!

Maybe they want to use this cooperation opportunity to develop some new drugs and use them as guinea pigs!"

After explaining everything, Ling Luxian became unhappy.

Humph, before making a big fuss in Arasaka Tower, let’s use the Biotechnology Building to whet our appetite!
