Chapter 289 - 65: The Rampaging Homicidal Maniac in the Rear Camp_2
By directly taking action, they informed old Morpheus, that confidence didn’t matter; simply act is enough.
A glint of approval flashed across Morpheus’ old eyes.
What he liked the most were subordinates who worked in a swift and decisive manner.
“Temporarily none, pharmacists and potion development specialists aren’t ‘cabbages’, growing randomly in any field,” he said.
However, no matter how much he appreciated them, it didn’t prevent old Morpheus from giving Link a hard time.
“Can’t we use the previous people?”
Link frowned slightly and asked unwillingly, “After all, we should be able to pick out one or two people to atone for past mistakes.”
Old Morpheus shook his head, and said solemnly, “Don’t bother about this issue anymore. Those people have already been taken over by the front-line command post’s counter-intelligence unit, I dare not intervene. Don’t mess around and avoid unnecessary trouble.”
“Yes.”
Link took the advice and dropped the idea, then requested, “At least provide me with a few assistants. How can one person manage everything? In the event of a sudden attack like yesterday, I would need help and wouldn’t be instantly killed by others. At the very least, I could buy some time awaiting help, right?”
“Don’t worry about that, I will handle it for you.”
Old Morpheus made a solemn promise.
“Fine, just remember that.”
Link chose to believe in Old Morpheus, but still took care to remind him once again.
“Get busy if there’s nothing else.”
Morpheus waved his hand; he too had to start rectifying the lax work ethic in the Potion Department.
“Yes!”
Link shouted loudly as he left the director’s office with the task requirements, before quietly swiping a thumb-sized toy that old Morpheus had accidentally dropped.
As he walked outward, Link was reminded of the task requirements.
The front-line medical department discovered that a new abnormal disease had unexpectedly broken out among some of the indigenous people in the fairy world.
The disease was highly contagious, and the symptoms severe.
Infected individuals would undergo physical deformations, lose their senses, and experience heightened aggression.
So far, there have been no instances of the disease spreading to wizards, but one cannot be complacent.
What if the disease undergoes sudden changes after spreading to a certain number of individuals?
We’d better investigate thoroughly just in case.
The medical department has sent a complete mutant corpse and several intact live fairies to the rear camp.
They hope that the rear Potion Department will quickly determine the cause of the mutation and formulate a potion to prevent the disease, to facilitate the legion’s continued assault.
The task requirements were carefully worded so as to not place all the pressure on the Potion Department.
It seemed that with a problem like this delegated to the Potion Department, a solution could be found in a jiffy.
“Has it already begun?”
How much time has passed since Link received Assad Kenneth’s warning?
The “revenge” from the medical department had already arrived.
No, it should be said that Assad Kenneth knew the inside story and that’s why he issued a warning.
Link didn’t mind this method of using business to avenge business quarrels.
He prepared to respond positively.
Firstly, to respond to the other party’s actions and second, because he was genuinely interested in these fairies and their disease.
The mutant corpse and the several intact fairies were all at the port warehouse, requiring Link to pick them up himself.
This was yet another reflection of the “pettiness” of the medical department.
They’re really being difficult!
Fortunately, it wasn’t much of a bother.
Link waved and called over the logistics staff who had led him to the dormitory yesterday.
“Wizard Grande, do you have any orders?”
The logistics staff quickly ran over and inquired respectfully.
“Get a vehicle, take me to the port,” Link commanded directly.
When dealing with staff such as those in logistics, the more polite you are, the more scared they become.
“Okay, please wait a moment.”
The logistics staff nodded hastily and ran off, quickly returning with an off-road vehicle.
He hopped out of the vehicle, opened the backseat door, and respectfully invited Link to get in before he returned to the driver’s seat.
The logistics staff was being extremely cautious because they didn’t want to provoke Link, who was rumored to be fierce.
Even though he had been present the day before and saw that it was new director Morpheus who landed the heavy blow, he still had to tread carefully.
That was because Wizard Grande had resolved the ‘Aphrodisiac’ problem that had been troublesome for all the wizards upon his arrival.
The logistics staff had to be extremely careful, lest they somehow gained Link’s displeasure and ended up reduced to ashes.
“Let’s go.”
Sensing the logistics staff’s fear, Link, not wanting to waste time, issued the order as soon as the man got in the car.
“Yes.”
They left the Potion Department in the off-road vehicle and headed towards the port.
The so-called port was the area around the inter-dimensional teleportation gate.
Link was brought over from the port by Assad Kenneth yesterday.
As a central point for supplying the front-line battlefield, the port had numerous warehouses arrayed in several dozen rows.
Each row contained dozens of warehouses.
The warehouse Link was heading to was in the sixth row, where biological materials were specifically stored and transported.
Not even close to the destination, yet fully alert, Link immediately sensed something was wrong when his off-road vehicle drove into the warehouse area.
Indeed, running to the port was not a problem at all.
This was the real trouble!
“Stop the car.”
As he barked out the order, Link was already prepared for battle.
The logistics staff slammed on the brakes, and the off-road vehicle screeched to a halt.
“Stay hidden, and don’t run around.”
After leaving these words, Link opened the car door and shot out..
