Chapter 245: Rewards
Shane's eyes were drawn to the notes penned by the Researcher whose identity was revealed as a prominent figure within the ranks of the New Government dedicated to halting the spread of the Zombie Virus…
"I am Dr. Marcus Holloway, a devoted servant of the New Government's cause to combat the insidious plague of the Zombie Virus and a dedicated Bio-Weapon Researcher.
I am writing this to get someone to continue our research and let the technologies we've created be known to everyone… I hope that someday, humanity will be strong enough to use these technologies…"
Shane paused for a moment as he read this part… Indeed, Darwin seemed to have given him a very precious map…
In his meticulously penned notes, Dr. Holloway detailed the location of the underground research facility, hidden beneath the decaying facade of an abandoned warehouse in the heart of Sector 20.
The entry point, obscured by the overgrown foliage and crumbling masonry, was marked by a series of symbols etched into the stone, it was a proof to the secrecy and subterfuge that shrouded the facility from prying eyes.
"To breach the facility's defenses, you must undo a series of puzzles and traps designed to test both mind and physical prowess. Only those with enough strength and keen intellect shall overcome these trials and gain access to the inner sanctum where the Bio-Armor, our most prized creation, lies in wait."
Shane's eyes lit up after reading this part…
"Bio-Armor! This is cool!"
His knowledge about the Bio-Armor was actually thanks to the memories he got from the Fairy Realm Collision. From the latest memories that he had, the Shelter where he was assigned was actually filled with Mutant Black Beetles. Well, the setting of the Fairy Realm was actually still on Earth, but it was merging with the Fairy Realm…
Firearms, nuclear weapons, and various things don't work in this apocalypse. It was because of the Fairy Realm's influence that was affecting the Earth…
To be exact, the Fairy Realm was already about 70% in its integration on Earth. Nonetheless, humans slowly adapted to it and were able to use the Fairy Realm's uniqueness to their advantage. New weapons were developed, and one of them was the integration of mutated creatures into humans.
The Mutant Black Beetles, for example, had become a source of their Shelter's most basic armor! If enough essence of the Beetles were looted, it could help the crafters create a Bio-Armor!
If his experience in the Fairy Realm Collision was right, then this would be a game-changer if he obtained it!
'If it can be enhanced with Item Upgrade Crystals, then it would be perfect.' Shane thought.
As Shane delved deeper into the notes, he uncovered a trove of information regarding the other treasures concealed within the research facility's hallowed halls.
The Researcher further explained that the Bio-Armor was actually a fusion of cutting-edge technology and biological enhancements that mirrored the regenerative properties of the Flesh Puker Zombies' armor but in a refined and perfected form.
The Bio-Armor, as described by Dr. Holloway, possessed the ability to enhance its wearer's strength, agility, and resilience to levels far beyond human capabilities, granting them a formidable edge in combat against the mutated zombies that lurked everywhere, especially in the Sector 20.
Of course, Dr. Holloway also further explained the other items Shane could obtain in the facility, and he felt truly excited! He also gave some encouraging words at the end of the notes, hoping that it would help the Survivors decide to risk their lives entering this place…
"I should go there…" Shane muttered as he knew that he had to leave this Shelter soon.
Nonetheless, Shane was still worried that this note was actually written with malicious intent. After all, the Researcher might actually be the one who was evil and was planning to send people to that place to unleash another catastrophe that would engulf the continent.
However, just as he thought of this, the system actually recognized this as some sort of achievement!
It seemed that acquiring the map and the clue related to the hidden Research Facility was part of the main quest to end this Apocalypse!

"Whoa~" Shane couldn't help but feel excited after seeing this. He didn't expect to gain such benefits just by spending Item Upgrade Crystals!
'No… It's not just Item Upgrade Crystals. If I hadn't spent more than ten thousand Zombie Cores, we wouldn't have had this offer to buy the map with notes from this Researcher… If I'm not mistaken, there are already other Shelters visited by the old man.' Shane thought to himself as he realized how difficult this hidden quest was.
It would not be triggered without any wealth at all!
Without his Complete Loot System, he was sure this hidden quest would remain unknown for several months or even years!
After all, the memories he had obtained from his Memory Spheres were already about four years into the two other Apocalypses!
Anyway, now that he knew what he had to do once he left the estate, he should immediately start preparing for his journey…
Before that, however, he realized that there was another message that he had missed!
[ You have leveled up. ]
