As they ventured deeper into the factory, the flesh and blood beneath their feet had created a bloody carpet.
The molten iron on the factory machinery and the frozen, cracked skulls are like spectators on this red carpet, never missing the most crucial sections.
As they walked to the end of the red carpet and gazed at the massive mechanical passageway leading to the outside world, Lin Feng and Victor both revealed relaxed smiles.
"The factory has been destroyed... the antidote has most likely been moved." Lin Feng sighed. If he didn't encounter it, so be it; it's pretty much over anyway.
"What do we do next? Should we keep chasing them?" Victor sighed with some regret, but then he seemed to notice something on the ground, squatted down, looked at some remaining blood, and exclaimed, "Impossible!"
You've finally found it...
Lin Feng leaned closer: "What's wrong?"
"Dracula, it's Dracula!" Victor shouted rapidly, "No, I have to go and confirm it. If it really is him..."
“Dracula? Isn’t that just a legend?” Lin Feng pulled back the anxious Victor. “Don’t rush. Even if it really is him, it’s in our favor now, isn’t it?”
Upon hearing this, Victor's eyes cleared up a bit. Although he was still flustered, he calmed down considerably.
"Whoever broke in here must be after the antidote..." Lin Feng said slowly, loosening his grip. If Victor were to set a trap for his ancestor according to the original plot, he would definitely be the first to sacrifice himself.
Victor paced back and forth a few steps, raising his palm but then lowering it with difficulty. The information revealed in those few words left him somewhat incredulous, and he was overwhelmed by a complex mix of emotions.
“Legend has it that he is at odds with demons. If the virus is allowed to continue spreading, it won’t be long before a demon army covering the entire globe appears.” Lin Feng looked at the mess on the ground and analyzed it bit by bit: “Dracula will definitely not allow this to happen... If that’s the case, we should cooperate with Dracula.”
Victor couldn't refuse to listen to Lin Feng's plan, but a more complex emotion was rising in his heart.
Lin Feng walked up to Victor and said in a serious tone, "Victor, every second we delay could turn hundreds of innocent civilians into monsters... Only by eliminating the virus can humanity have a chance to survive."
After a few breaths, Victor lowered his head, knowing that the virus was far more important than anything else: "Hmm..."
"Let's send the protective suits back here first, and bring over all the people who know the technology." Lin Feng turned around and walked back, stepping through the thickened blood, toward the place where he had seen the protective suits stored earlier.
Victor caught up with the pace, his chaotic thoughts gradually settling down as he forcefully cast aside those confused ideas.
Soon, the two worked together to lure away the horned demons along the way, safely escorted the selected technicians into the factory, and then blocked the factory entrance with a pile of junk boxes.
With everything in the factory organized, Victor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The previous personnel left in a hurry, taking only the research results and not the technical data. Many things can be put to use once the process is restarted.
"That makes things much simpler." Lin Feng said happily after looking at the items that several people had urgently brought him. "We'll be able to manufacture a new antidote in three hours, but this one factory alone isn't enough..."
As he spoke, Lin Feng paused slightly: "I think I might know what Dracula is planning..."
Victor suddenly realized what he had just heard. Before he could ask, Lin Feng pointed to the control panel beside him: "Look closely, this has the factory's logs. The factory was invaded by unknown personnel, and the factory supervisor, Lysa, released a virus..."
Victor quickly approached, poked his head out, and leaned over the screen.
The screen shows footage of the factory's initial invasion, featuring only Ryza as a demon. Rewinding to before the second invasion reveals a thick, blood-red fog that obscures all vision and spreads throughout the factory's interior.
"The virus outside can mutate humans into horned demons, but she not only mutated on her own initiative but can also move freely in the poison gas... Clearly, she is no longer human."
“A demon!” Victor blurted out the answer.
“Yes, this is the scene before Lysa disappeared.” Lin Feng pointed to the red light that lasted less than a second and compared it with the scene of the second invasion. He could easily identify the similarities: “Assuming that both invasions were by Dracula, the first one was for Lysa.”
"The second time is most likely to be a return in search of something... an antidote!"
Lin Feng's tone suddenly became more serious, and he then opened the factory's other logs.
After searching for a while, Lin Feng pointed to the lines of key information above: "Although the antidote was moved in advance, with Dracula's strength... he should have already obtained the antidote."
"Did he want the antidote to save people?" Lin Feng simply voiced his doubts, while flipping through some past surveillance footage. The first thing he saw was footage of the CEO of the International Weapons Company entering and leaving the factory: "Forget it, let's stay away from him... This factory belongs to the International Weapons Company. If the antidote was prepared by the devil, then the company's upper management must also have the devil's henchmen."
The factory's network defenses were practically nonexistent against Ironclad 99. They had secretly copied all the data as soon as they entered this world, just in case Dracula destroyed the critical equipment along the way.
Viktor's face darkened as he witnessed all this. His gaze was fixed on the bald man in the scene. He could sense the shadowy aura emanating from the man, indicating that he was definitely not a normal person.
"but..."
At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly spoke up: "These two people may just be part of the whole process... It takes 3 hours to make the antidote. Once they discover that the virus is ineffective, the person behind it may escape. So we must lure them all out within 3 hours."
"In addition, we also need to find a reliable channel to send out information about the antidote. Our major counterattack will begin in three hours!"
The plan was ambitious, but Victor lacked the confidence to back it up; he didn't have friends all over the world.
"What a coincidence, I happen to know a few good friends." Lin Feng patted Victor on the shoulder and said confidently, "Leave the antidote to me."
Huh? Ah...
Victor's mood changed rapidly. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, but he quickly thought of what he had just said: "How do we lure out the person behind this?"
“Victor, we need to have a serious talk about this…” Lin Feng put away his relaxed expression and said solemnly, “Their enemy is Dracula, which means… we only need to help Dracula find the mastermind behind it all, and we won’t have to worry about the rest.”
hiss....
Victor gasped sharply. Everything seemed to fall into place, and he even felt that this was just a minor problem, not the end of the world.
So in the end, only Dracula remains...
Victor cast an expectant glance his way, thinking that Lin Feng must have a plan to deal with Dracula in the end.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I have a way to deal with Dracula after everything is settled?" Lin Feng took a few steps away from Victor: "That's the legendary King of Shadows. Shouldn't it be your job to deal with him?"
Victor reluctantly looked away: "Well, I know what to do."
"How about you teach me a couple of moves, so I'll know what to do if we run into each other?" Lin Feng leaned closer and said with a smile, "The legendary Brotherhood of Light really scared Dracula half to death."
Victor's expression turned somewhat strange after hearing this; it was more likely that the Brotherhood of Light would be wiped out.
After a brief moment of thought, Victor said, “You lack faith, but... I can teach you a skill. If I die here, I hope you will pass this skill down to you.”
Victor raised his finger, and a flash of inspiration suddenly entered Lin Feng's mind, transforming into countless pieces of information.
"Battle Focus: An ancient skill passed down from the Brotherhood of Light, which enhances attack power through more focused combat."
"This skill can also help you resist dark forces."
