Chapter 123 Another Encounter with the Extinction Virus
Chapter 123 Another Encounter with the Extinction Virus
"Could this person have bipolar disorder or something similar?"
Seeing the patient's contorted expression, Agent Ward couldn't help but voice his guess.
And while the patient was talking, he kept moving closer to the female doctor.
The look in his eyes wasn't one of joy at being cured, but something else entirely.
A thirst for power, an expectation of surpassing one's own abilities.
"Doctor, this medicine is working so well, please give me another injection!"
"No, we had an agreement, and you have to follow my arrangements."
The female doctor retreated step by step in fear, almost reaching the corner of the ward, with nowhere to escape.
Agent Fitz and Agent Simon exchanged a glance.
They realized that the "injectable drug" the patients were talking about was the super serum-like substance they had discovered.
At this moment, Qin Wuying was already praying in his heart that this was not a gang crime.
Otherwise, they'll be put through a lot of trouble again.
As they pondered, the patient and the female doctor's faces were almost touching.
But this was no romantic scene; the patient was extremely emotionally unstable and burning with anger.
"Don't worry about anything else, just give me the injection! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
In order to obtain serum, the patient even made a death threat.
Seeing this, in order to save her own life, the female doctor could only nod pitifully.
"I must remind you, such a large dose has never been seen before..."
"Shut up, give me the injection now!"
The female doctor wanted to offer a few more words of advice, but her hand was held down.
It seems the patient was so impatient that they didn't care about the risks at all.
As the needle was gently inserted under the skin, the patient groaned.
"It's finally here, it's finally here...!" the man exclaimed joyfully, feeling the joy.
The doctor began adjusting various parameters at the control panel.
But suddenly, the male patient's entire face began to turn red and hot, and his expression became distorted.
It appears that the energy is concentrated in the forehead and chest area, causing a high-temperature reaction.
Wait a minute, doesn't this situation seem familiar?
"Extremis virus. There's no mistake." Agent Coulson blurted out before Qin Wuying could.
S.H.I.E.L.D. has dealt with this tricky problem before.
Qin Wuying even implanted some modified Extremity Virus into his body.
They had assumed that with Killian dead, no one would continue to study this.
Agents Fitz and Simonster, standing nearby, nodded in agreement with Coulson's assessment.
Immediately afterwards, the holographic image in front of everyone underwent a dramatic change.
The male patient lying in bed began to develop lumps all over his body, with energy beneath his skin and obvious signs of activity.
What's going on? Qin Wuying stared intently, somewhat puzzled.
"Boom—!" In an instant, the male patient lying on the bed exploded!
The holographic image abruptly ended with the female doctor's scream.
Something terrible is going to happen. Qin Wuying looked at Coulson.
The previous extinction virus was selective; those who passed it lived, while those who failed died instantly.
But the virus in this man's body had clearly stabilized—
How could such a serious accident happen?
"It seems that this is how the fire in that building was caused—a tragic experiment," Agent Melinda said.
Just then, the analysis results from the machine next to us also came out.
Agents Simonster and Fitz stepped forward and quickly set up various indicators.
"This is a new variety, but it's defective!" Simmons exclaimed, covering his mouth.
"What does that mean?" Although Qin Wuying didn't understand, she still went over directly.
"This extinction virus enhances the host's abilities in various ways, but it gradually becomes excessive, causing the host to become irritable and emotionally agitated. And then..."
"And then what?"
"Just like before, an explosion was inevitable."
In other words, everyone who is injected with the new version of the Extremis virus will die without exception.
If this happens in a crowded place, it could cause irreparable and enormous casualties.
We must quickly compile a list of those who need to be quarantined.
"The thing on Michael is also this." At this moment, Skye slowly spoke up, "I've cracked his personal information."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
So, it won't be long before Michael also self-destructs.
"This won't do! He has a child! We can't let the child lose both parents at the same time!" Agent Ward shouted out his heartfelt words.
That's true, so the best solution isn't isolation, but rather—
"Agent Fitz, Agent Simonster, you stay here and do your best to develop an antidote or serum."
Qin Wuying quickly issued orders, "Agent Ward, Agent Melinda, you two come with me to capture Michael."
However, no tasks were assigned to Coulson because he now had to keep an eye on Skye.
However, Skye volunteered, raising her hand: "I can help too. I can pinpoint Michael's coordinates."
"That's great! What are your requirements?" Time was of the essence, and Qin Wuying didn't have time to haggle, so she asked directly.
"I want to go back to my little home, to my beloved little truck."
"Deal, Coulson, you take her with you."
After saying that, Qin Wuying led Ward and Melinda away from the base.
They planned to first go to the places where Michael usually frequented and stake out the area.
At this time, he was unaware that many new changes had occurred on Michael's side.
"What did you say? Coulson was knocked unconscious? How is that possible?"
Half an hour later, Qin Wuying received a communication reporting that Coulson had been found lying in the alley.
The three rushed to the scene and rescued him, taking him back to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base.
The mission hadn't even begun when the most crucial link failed.
"It's Michael. He found Skye and wants to delete his personal information."
Coulson, who had just woken up, said breathlessly.
It turns out that right after the last rescue, Michael went to find the female doctor who survived the explosion.
After a heated argument between the two, he was fired from the factory where he had only been working for a few days.
In a fit of rage, Michael killed the assembly line supervisor and became a fugitive.
It was from this moment that Michael decided to become a Robin Hood-like superhero—
That's when he found Skye, who claimed to be a computer genius, and asked him to help him change his appearance.
Qin Wuying could imagine how nervous Skye must be, with her life threatened.
"Warning, warning, unknown information has been illegally populated."
Just then, an error message appeared on the large screen in the research room.
It was a string of numbers and some inexplicable degree.
"Is she helping Michael break through our security system?" Ward said angrily. "I knew I shouldn't have trusted her."
"No, Ward, calm down," Coulson said, getting up from his chair.
"These are the specific coordinates sent to us."
