Mike licked his dry lips before saying, “I stole two bottles of the viruses when I was at the lab.”
Austin and Alexander exchanged shocked glances. One of them asked, “What kind of viruses?”
“Stuff they developed at the lab. I have no idea what they are, but I thought they might come in handy one day, probably for an exchange or something. Anyway, I just took them,” Mike spoke casually.
“I didn’t tell you guys before for selfish reasons. As I said, I thought they might come in handy. I feel we can use them now.”
Alexander disliked Mike’s plan and frowned, asking, “What are you planning to do?”
“I want to use the virus on myself.” After a pause, Mike looked up with an unwavering gaze.
“Have you lost your fucking mind? You don’t even know what it would do to you!” Alexander exclaimed.
‘What the hell is he thinking? How can he even consider such a thing?’ he thought.
“I don’t, but he might,” Mike pointed his chin at Austin and said, “I’m okay as long as I don’t die. What matters most is that I can fool the organization.”
Alexander caught on. “You plan to trick them by claiming you can replace Lily as the vessel?”
Mike did not answer, and the other two took it as a yes.
“It won’t work,” Alexander said decisively.
