Cyberpunk All Masters - Episode 20

20. Unexpected Developments

Unlike the ominous entrance, the deeper we went, the more functioning lights there were, making it easier to see.

Normally, the electricity shouldn't even be working in an abandoned hospital's morgue. The fact that power was being supplied proved that this facility wasn't entirely abandoned.

The structure itself was different from a typical morgue.

The white-painted walls and the futuristic lighting made it look more like a laboratory than a morgue.

“Do-jin, could this be...?”

“Yes, it is. This is a secret research facility of the Daegu Industrial Cooperative.”

Lee Ha-an looked at me with disbelief.@@novelbin@@

“What are they researching here?”

Her voice was filled with evident agitation, but I answered without hesitation.

“Nano-machine viruses.”

“Oh my god.”

The nano-machines, the catalyst for the collapse of the Daegu Green Zone, were lying dormant here. The ‘clear and present danger’ that Lee Ha-an had been desperately searching for, sent by Daejeon.

This was why they wanted to handle things quietly. They weren’t clean either. In fact, they were worse.

“Now you understand why I brought you along, right?”

“When did you figure this out?”

“I had suspected the connection between the Urban Management Bureau and the Industrial Cooperative, but it was confirmed today by Director Seo Yi-kyung’s statement.”
