Lucy’s face twisted with hesitation as she listened.
“If you can’t produce the test subject, this deal is off!”

“That’s not happening. Hold on, I’ll contact someone from the Inner Ring and get the person for you.” Lucy turned to the people behind her and spoke quietly.
No need. We’re going with you,” someone interrupted firmly.
Just then, one of Lucy’s subordinates ran over and whispered something into her ear.
Her expression changed immediately. She turned back to the group. “I’m sorry, but the subject… was killed in the chaos during the zombie outbreak.”
“What?”
The delegation from Ark Camp Three erupted.
What the hell was that supposed to mean?
The moment they asked for the test subject, the subject just conveniently died?
Who were they trying to fool?
Theresa couldn’t help but laugh as she watched the two sides arguing. It wasn’t polite, but thankfully, no one noticed under her mask.
Next to her, Morgan chuckled as well.
Then, he turned away. “We’ve got other matters to attend to.”
Morgan had been very tempted when he first saw the inhibitor.
He was even willing to pay that absurd price.
Because buying something like that wasn’t just about spending money.
Falling behind wasn’t an option.
All three camps had started from the same place. But once Ark Camp Two developed the inhibitor, they immediately pulled far ahead.
Now that Ark Camp Three had bought it, they could go back and start their own research. If they made progress, no amount of resources/could close the gap.
That’s why the moment Ark Camp Three placed a bid, Morgan followed.
Of course, he and everyone else knew–there was always a gamble involved with something like this.
No one could say for sure if the inhibitor actually worked, or if it was worth the money.

The only choice was to bet high, take it back, and hope for a breakthrough. If the gamble paid off, they’d
be set.
But now? Morgan was sixty percent sure Ark Camp Three had just been scammed–big time.
Thank God Theresa had walked out at that time. That threw him off just enough to back down-
If he’d kept bidding, it would’ve been his camp taking the hit right now.
As he walked off. Theresa called out behind him, “What’s the rush? Aren’t you gonna help Ark Camp Three demand some justice?”
Her voice rang out at just the right moment.
The people from Ark Camp Three quickly chimed in, “Yeah, stay and see this through.”
“We spent a ton of money on this. If Ark Camp Two’s trying to screw us over, don’t blame us for hitting back!
“In front of Ark Camp One and everyone else, bring the body out–now!”
Morgan paused, suddenly interested again. Watching how this played out might be fun after all.
He turned to look at Lucy.
All eyes were on her now.
The pressure on Lucy became overwhelming.
She tried to call the Inner Ring again for confirmation, but the people from Ark Camp Three cut her off.
“Now. Take us there right now. Or, we’ll treat this as a fraud, and Ark Camp Three will declare war on you!”
Theresa, having fanned the flames this far, was ready to clap in satisfaction.
She added one last jab, “We all saw what happened. If you don’t give us an answer today, you’ll deserve whatever Ark Camp Three does next
That was the final straw
Lucy couldn’t hold on any longer.
Fine‘ she said through gritted teeth, and led them all toward the labs
The lab was underground. Lacy scanned her card at the entrance, then led them down the stairs, revealing a long stark white hallway.
“No one’s usually allowed in here,” she said, walking ahead as she opened the second security door.
At the third door, she stopped “This one can only be openest by the Inner Ring administrator. I need to
call him first.”
“Hurry up–and don’t tell him we’re with you, someone from Ark Camp Three warned her, voice low and threatening.

Lucy’s face went pale. She reached out with trembling hands and called through the terminal.
But the request sat unanswered for far too long.

“If you delay any longer, we’ll assume you’re destroying evidence,” one of them said coldly. “You’re out of chances
Hearing that, Lucy bit her lip hard, then pulled out a special card and swiped it.
The door opened–and the space beyond opened wide.
In front of them, a main corridor stretched out, flanked by countless branching hallways.
Labs lined both sides.
Lucy led them down the third hallway on the right.
Only after they disappeared inside did the terminal at the door finally chime with a reply.
