Chapter 61

This temporary real NPC named Xiao Yao led them forward, and soon his other two friends, Xu Baiyang and Xu Chao, appeared.

Seeing them arrive was a relief; they were all familiar faces.

"Don't worry, this research institute is very safe. Would you like to eat something? The cafeteria and rest area are on the next floor, where there's some food like canned beef and biscuits," Xu Baiyang said.

The elevator in the institute was broken, so they had to take the stairs.

The others were indeed hungry; they had been eating fish for the past few days. Fortunately, they could now have rabbit meat, but there wasn't much left, and they didn't have many seasonings. At this moment, they thought of canned beef with various food additives. The thought of it made their mouths water.

They wanted to eat, but they still looked at Song Juyao.

Song Juyao glanced at the three of them, "Go ahead and eat something. Let's rest here for a bit."

This decision delighted everyone, and the elevator door opened to reveal an empty and messy cafeteria. There were still a few corpses on the ground, and the air was cold and foul, but they had grown accustomed to it.

The lights in the cafeteria were flickering, making it uncomfortable for the eyes, but that didn't stop them from devouring the food.

Song Juyao walked to the corpses, squatted down to check them, and then explored the vast canteen, including the back kitchen and the warehouse.

Evans and Jiang Baiqi followed her.

Meanwhile, three temporary real NPCs, seemingly casually, approached certain individuals.

"It's clear that all of you listen to that Miss Song. She looks quite young, yet she seems to be very smart."

"Yes, very smart. We've learned the hard way what happens when we don't listen to experts, and it left a lasting impression on us."

"You're referring to survival skills in the wild, right? But it's no longer just about surviving in the wild. Do you also listen to her when it comes to situations she has never faced before?"

"Huh?" They were taken aback.

"You've grown accustomed to following her orders, but have you ever thought about it? She's an 18-year-old girl who's impressive in many ways, but she still lacks experience..."

"What are you trying to say?"

"In truth, we have another proposition for you. Take a look." They opened their palms, revealing transparent, gem-like crystals.

"What is this?"

"This is the crystal that Fanxing Group wants, extracted from the brains of those bloodthirsty patients."

"What?!"

"You must already know its function, right? It can cure incurable diseases, transform the body, extend life expectancy, and even grant certain talents. If it were you, how much would you be willing to spend to obtain one? How much would the wealthy be willing to pay for this precious item?"

It was an incredible temptation, causing their hearts to race and breath to quicken.

They were as persuasive as demons, "If you consume this crystal, your life will change from this moment onward, and you'll have a higher chance of eluding Fanxing Group's pursuit. Moreover, in this research institute and on this island, there are countless treasures we can retrieve... Some people are already beyond saving, so why not take the crystals for ourselves instead of letting Fanxing Group benefit?"
