"This lab is just a small pawn in the game. The main source isn't in Hyderland. Do you understand?" Mike said cryptically after a moment of thought.
Although he did not give a direct answer, Lily understood what he meant and nodded thoughtfully. "Are you saying Hyderland is just a subsidiary branch, and the headquarters is abroad?"
Mike nodded. "The boss behind it is more powerful than we can ever imagine. We can't compete against him. Lily, you shouldn't dig any deeper. If you do, you might risk your life and the lives of the people around you."
"That means this is all just to try and convince me not to investigate further in the lab?" Lily asked mockingly, a smile on her face.
"No!" Mike shook his head and said, "I want to strike a deal with you."
"What deal?"
"Come back and work for the lab. This time, you'll be tasked with more important projects. But you shouldn't ask questions or care about what you're doing. Just concentrate on your experiments."
"What do I get?" Lily was curious. After all, every deal had its conditions.
Mike looked at her and slowly said, "We can give you a sample of the virus that Alex is infected with. That way, you might be able to create an antidote."
Hearing this, Lily almost laughed out loud. "Why don't you just give me the antidote?"
‘What a joke!’
She thought she would get an antidote in exchange. It turned out that he was just going to give her a sample of the virus. That way, she still had to find a way to develop an antidote.
