Chapter 1675: More Serious Than Imagined

Chapter 1675: More Serious Than Imagined

After having lunch with Joyce and sitting at home for a while, Luther left

the Warner residence.

He drove to the outskirts of the city, where the sunlight was scorching,

and the glaring sun made people feel dizzy.

Biochemical Institute.

When Luther arrived, it was unusually quiet here. After going through

layers of disinfection and protection, he reached the innermost bio-

cultivation room where Orik and Jocelyn were located.

Orik saw Luther and quickly approached to greet him, "Mr. Warner, why

did you suddenly come here?"

Jocelyn was observing microorganisms through a microscope and

conducting experiments. She looked up and greeted him as well.

“I came to see if there is any progress,” Luther said.

Orik pointed to a petri dish and said, "According to the analysis of your

blood, it is certain that microorganisms are causing the problem. The

issue is that there are too many types of microorganisms, billions of

them. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. I believe that if we know

the codes of the microorganisms used in the initial production of the

drug, I can successfully create the antidote. Unfortunately, I don't know.

Now, Jocelyn and I can only try them one by one. We narrow down the

scope first, and then find a way to investigate.”

Luther thought for a moment and asked, "I heard that there are five

antidotes in total, taken over ten months to detoxify. If I can get one of

the antidotes, is it possible for you to create the others?"

After hearing this, Orik questioned, "If someone made five antidotes, it

means they are not confident in the antidote they developed, which is

why they chose this repeated elimination method. I believe the best

choice is to eliminate it once and for all. Well, if you can get the

antidote, we can dissolve and analyze it, but it will still be difficult to

obtain the original data. It may be somewhat helpful, but not entirely

effective. We can only try. As I mentioned earlier, the codes of the

microorganisms are the most important. Even if we can find a small

piece of information related to the microorganisms, it would be of great

help to me."

"Do you mean that not all five antidotes can necessarily detoxify?"

Luther was shocked. According to reason, Athena must have obtained

the first-hand antidote. After all, he heard Joyce and Cecelia talking

about it on the phone.

“I wouldn't say that. Since five antidotes were made, the person who

developed them should have some confidence. However, they must

have concerns, which means they know the instability of the drug.

That's why they made five antidotes to be on the safe side. Once the

microorganisms combine with the host, they can vary greatly, and no

one knows how it will develop in the end. Because you have no idea

who the drug is for. So the antidotes they made definitely have risks in

terms of specificity. That's what I meant. Mr. Warner, do you understand

my point?" Orik explained in detail.

Luther nodded, “Yes, I understand.”

"Now we will take a blood sample from you and cultivate and develop it

based on the combination of microorganisms and your body. If we can

create an antidote, it will be the fundamental solution,” Orik said.

After finishing his explanation, Orik called out to Jocelyn, "Since Mr.

Warner is here today, give him the inhibitor we made and inject it."

"Okay," Jocelyn responded. She got up and took out a small bottle from

the freezer. Then she grabbed a syringe and extracted the solution

from the bottle.

"Mr. Warner, please roll up your sleeve. This is the biological inhibitor

we developed. Although it cannot detoxify, it can inhibit the reproduction

of microorganisms. In the short term, you won't experience nosebleeds

or bleeding from your ears. However, in the long run, it doesn't have a

substantial effect. Once the microorganisms are suppressed, they will

quickly grow in a drug-resistant manner. We need to develop an

antidote before that. This inhibitor can only serve as a temporary

solution. Mr. Warner, you can consider whether or not to inject it,"

Jocelyn explained with a serious expression.

"No problem, go ahead and inject it for me," Luther nodded. If it could

suppress his current symptoms, it would be great. He wouldn't have to

worry about revealing anything in front of Joyce and making her worry.

That's what he hoped for.

Jocelyn inserted the needle into a vein on Luther's arm and injected the

inhibitor.

She discarded the syringe.

At this point, Orik said, "We will do our best, so please rest assured, Mr.

Warner."

"Thank you," Luther replied. After that, he left the bio-cultivation facility.

He returned to his car, started the engine, and drove until he reached

the elevated highway before dialing Felix's phone number.

Felix's voice sounded somewhat dejected, "What's wrong? I still haven't

been able to contact Vicki."

Feeling the stuffiness, Luther turned on the air conditioning. "We need

to reorganize all the gang forces from the Saunders family's past. I'm

also gathering forces here. We need to form an underground

organization as soon as possible.”

Felix's voice faltered, "Is the situation that serious? The Saunders

family hasn't been involved in gang activities for many years. Although

our reputation from back then still holds, it might not be easy to

reorganize. Luther, it's a different era now. We've already moved on

from that. Isn'tit a bit..."

Luther sneered, "The situation is definitely more serious than you and I

can imagine.”

"What!" Felix was almost shocked. "So Vicki must know something and

refuses to tell me. Damn it, she actually wants to leave me to face it

alone. By the way, Luther, when you say that, it reminds me of

something. I didn't take it seriously at first, but now I feel that it's not

simple and may be related."

"What is it?" Luther's voice grew colder. He gripped the steering wheel

with one hand, and pressing down on the accelerator, the car sped up.

The car shot forward like an arrow.

"Some people have seen OGW reappearing in Khebury," Felix said, “I

don't know if it's related to recent events."

"It's definitely related. I've noticed it too," Luther tightened his grip on

the steering wheel, his eyes growing more dangerous. The black-clad

individuals around Athena didn't seem to be locals. To be precise, their

demeanor and posture didn't match the style of the Ballards.

So, what kind of power does Athena control? It must be related to

Rohomes.

But what is the connection with OGW, which has been seen recently?

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.

His face instantly darkened, becoming extremely unsightly.

"Have you met Athena? What does she want?" Felix asked.

“It's my own business, and I will handle it myself. You focus on quickly

gathering the forces of the gang. Keep in touch. I'm hanging up,”

Luther's eyes filled with a chilling coldness as he abruptly ended the

call.

The mention of Athena made his whole body feel as if it were in an icy

cellar, with every strand of hair turning into ice.
