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. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
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't it 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.
