Chapter 377 The Oracle, the Truth About the Rampage Virus



The burly man was once again shocked by Liu Kai's ability to conjure objects out of thin air.

He also knew that the syringe contained nothing good.

But surprisingly, there was no fear in his eyes; instead, a strong sense of fervor and excitement erupted from them.

This expression wouldn't be seen by Liu Kai.

Is this burly man a masochist who's just looking forward to being tortured by interrogation drugs?

Before he could even speak, the burly man had already spoken first.

"You...you are the legendary oracle?"

Liu Kai was stunned for a long time upon hearing this, because his vocabulary was limited to his education up to university.

He didn't understand what the phrase "the oracle" meant.

I thought my English level was sufficient for daily communication.

Now that he had been exposed on the spot, he immediately blushed.

To prevent a similar embarrassment from happening again, he retrieved the exoskeleton smart glasses from mid-air, put them on, and started real-time translation.

Even after understanding the meaning of the words, Liu Kai was still completely baffled.

He could understand the term "oracle," but he wasn't sure if what he understood was the same as what the burly man was saying.

Faced with Liu Kai's question, the burly man had no doubts; in fact, he became even more convinced of his own thoughts.

He immediately explained respectfully, "Revered Oracle, perhaps the terminology differs in your world, but this is the respectful title our family uses for you."

It was as if he hadn't said anything at all; Liu Kai still didn't understand.

But he astutely grasped the key word "family".

He immediately asked in a deep voice, "Which family are you from?"

“Oh! Excuse me, Oracle, please allow me to introduce myself: I am a non-core member of the Crassus family.”

Liu Kai narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

The previous guesses have been confirmed; it really was those damn bastards.

However, he also changed his previous inquiry plan accordingly.

Judging from the burly man's appearance, it seems that more information can be extracted from him.

So he put away the interrogation drugs, pretended to be slightly more relaxed, and began to communicate peacefully with the burly man.

In the exchange of questions and answers, he not only revealed the whole story of kidnapping Qin Luofei.

He even recounted the past of this group of "destined" families.

The reason for kidnapping Qin Luofei was quite simple: to study the secret of her physical enhancement.

She was the best target determined by the Crassus family after a comprehensive evaluation.

Even Liu Kai, that freak, can't compare to Qin Luofei.

Because Crassus was very self-aware.

Having witnessed Liu Kai's monstrous combat prowess, and even his miraculous survival after the explosion of three nuclear bombs.

They knew that neither a sneak attack nor a direct confrontation would be able to subdue Liu Kai.

The deeper reasons for studying physical fitness involve the "Pan Tao" medicine developed by the Chinese government.

Qin Luofei is far from the only person in the country to have received the "Peach of Immortality" medicine as a reward for meritorious service.

There are also quite a few people who have received injections of both the first and second generation drugs.

But without exception.

People who receive the first-generation enhancement drug generally experience a 50% improvement in physical fitness.

The combined percentage of first and second generation is approximately 85%.

Even if you are later infected with the Frenzied (lying down) virus, or receive a vaccine and then receive enhancement, there will be a bonus.

Physical fitness generally improves by about 120%.

However, the Krass family had seen the video of Qin Luofei fighting off a raging sea monster at the beach some time ago.

In no time at all, he killed the two ferocious whales.

Even without the aid of the powered exoskeleton, such combat power conservatively suggests that physical enhancement has exceeded 200%!

This is what truly interests the Crassus family.

As for kidnapping people right under Liu Kai's nose, they weren't too worried.

With sufficient preparation, the chances of success are quite high.

Hearing this, Liu Kai became even more curious.

Why is it that only the Crassus family is interested in physical enhancement, while the other two major families don't want it either?

The burly man's next answer completely overturned Liu Kai's understanding.

When China was halfway through the development of the "Peach" medicine, a leak occurred.

This leak had absolutely nothing to do with the Crassus family.

Because the instigator was someone Liu Kai found quite unexpected: the Feng family!

Due to the tight defenses, the Feng family only managed to acquire some incomplete technology.

It is said that the final product is far inferior to the "Peach of Immortality" and is an outright castrated version.

Moreover, it cannot be mass-produced and is extremely costly.

Fortunately, the effect is relatively stable, and there won't be any situation where a single injection kills someone.

Later, the Crassus family and the Wind family made a deal.

This includes some of the technology related to the castrated version of the drug.

Thus, a castrated version of the "Peach of Immortality" potion appeared.

In order to solve the problem of drug dosage and production, the Crassus family's brilliant technicians came up with a terrible idea.

Using viruses that reproduce at extremely high speeds, we can modify part of their DNA.

This allows the virus to produce special compounds in the drug that strengthen the body.

However, the side effects are also quite obvious.

The virus also produces another very similar compound that causes brain dysfunction in animals.

Moreover, because the two compounds are extremely similar in composition, they are almost impossible to purify and separate.

This is the Beast Rampage Virus, which is extremely familiar to Liu Kai and the Chinese government.

Later, through continuous experiments, human lying-down variants and human berserk variants emerged.

The burly man's explanation does correspond to the speculation of virus expert Zhu Chaomin.

Zhu Chaomin discovered that the virus seemed to have undergone artificial interference and mutation.
