Chapter 2

What else could Chapter 2 be but a miracle?

Seeing the system notification that suddenly appeared in his mind, Tony knew that his cheat code had arrived.

Tony, who was self-taught, took out the three items he had just obtained from his four-dimensional butt, which was his backpack. Not bad, there was a system explanation.

【Item Name: T-Virus Stock Solution】

[Type: Consumable]

[Special Effect: Untreated T-virus stock solution, extremely infectious and lethal. It can be transmitted directly through the air, remaining effective for 10 hours. During this time, all carbon-based life forms will be infected; those without suitable genetic makeup will experience genetic collapse and become zombies.]

[Note: The origin of everything—shatter it and usher in a new era for this world. Friendly reminder: without enhancement potions, don't even think about becoming Alice; you're not a suitable candidate.]

[Item Name: T-Virus Enhancement Potion]

[Type: Consumable]

[Special Feature: Inject it, and you will become the next Alice, the one before any clones appear, absolutely unique.]

[Note: Although you have been genetically adapted to the host and are immune to the T-virus after injection, and will not turn into a zombie, your blood still contains a certain concentration of the T-virus. This means you are the true pathogen, the source of all evil. However, there is good news: your bodily fluids do not contain the T-virus, so please use a normal tract or ensure proper lubrication.]

【Item Name: T-Virus Serum (10 vials)】

[Type: Consumable]

[Characteristics: Antibodies are generated 24 hours after injection, providing immunity against the T-virus during this period.]

[Note: Although immunity can be achieved, close contact is still not recommended.]

"This nickname seems a bit suggestive."

After making a sarcastic remark, Tony immediately injected the T-virus enhancement agent into his neck. The red liquid quickly entered his blood vessels, and then a burning sensation spread throughout his body along the blood vessels.

Immediately afterwards, Tony felt a series of sharp pains in his brain, and his heart began to pound violently, like a drumbeat.

My chest started to itch, and soon with a "bang," the electromagnet that was originally installed in my chest was squeezed out. At the same time, fragments in my blood vessels were also expelled from my body, and blood spurted out, but it stopped quickly.

"What is this?" Ethan, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded. This was not scientific!

"This feels so good!" As his chest wound healed, Tony felt comfortable and full of energy, as if he could take on ten men.

In addition, he felt that he could see things much more clearly than before, and he also had a vague sense of the things around him, as if he had a new pair of eyes.

Aside from that, no other changes have been found yet, but the increase in strength has directly affected Tony's mentality, giving him the confidence to escape.

"What happened? Your chest!" Ethan asked excitedly.

Tony didn't know how to explain, so he simply made up a story: "Ethan, do you believe in God?"

"I didn't believe it at first, but if you say it's a miracle, I'll believe it," Ethan said hesitantly.

"Let's just call it a miracle then," Tony said casually, while surveying the cave and thinking about how to escape.

"What god's miracle is this?"

"Well, just think of it as Genshin Impact," Tony continued to make things up. After all, it came from a fancy treasure chest, so there was some connection, and it wasn't too much of a lie to Ethan.

Tony looked at the fire burning in the center of the cave and asked doubtfully, "We're in a cave now, with a big iron door at the entrance. With a fire burning inside, is there enough oxygen?"

Ethan explained, "The entire cave is equipped with exhaust fans for ventilation."

"Are all the exhaust ducts connected? What about the floor?" Tony pressed.

After recalling for a moment, Ethan answered definitively, "They're connected. They had me inspect the ventilation ducts. Every room is connected, and the exits on the ground are also inside the camp."

As he spoke, Ethan walked to the wall and pointed out the exhaust fan on the cave ceiling to Tony.

Tony looked at the spinning exhaust fan and made up his mind.

"When will they come back for further questioning, or when will they open the iron gate again?"

Ethan replied, "Tonight, or rather, in about four hours, I told you to tell them the materials needed to make the Jericho missile over dinner."

"Okay, I guess we won't be able to have dinner tonight," Tony said, looking up at the security camera in the corner.

"Are you giving up, or do you have a plan?" Ethan asked, puzzled.

"Of course there's a plan." Tony said, taking out the box of T-virus serum and taking out a vial of serum.

Ethan pressed, "So what do I need to do? How can I cooperate with you?"

Tony waved the syringe in his hand and said, "Let Genshin Impact bless you first."

"What?" Ethan didn't understand.

Tony took a few steps forward, got close, and injected Ethan with a needle, instantly sending the serum into his body.

"What is this?!" Ethan exclaimed in horror as he was suddenly pricked.

"Bless you! You'll find out tonight. Now we need to prepare some tools." Tony walked to the table, laid it down, removed a table leg, swung it around, feeling that it felt good, and then placed the table leg aside, quietly waiting for dinner time.

Seeing this, Ethan sat down as well, looking at Tony's chest. The once grotesque hole had healed, replaced by new, pink flesh.

"Is this also a blessing from the gods?"

I guess so.

"Can I believe that?"

Tony's lips twitched involuntarily, and he explained awkwardly, "Proselytizing is illegal, and I doubt you can believe in this god anymore, so there's nowhere to get 648."

-----------------

Unable to explain the question of the gods to Ethan, the two could only sit awkwardly staring at each other until nightfall.

The Ten Rings soldiers arrived at the cave on time. When Ethan saw the door open, he quickly told Tony to stand up and raise his hands.

Tony obediently did as instructed, but the moment he raised his hand, he clenched the T-virus stock solution in his palm, covered his head with both hands, and hid the test tube behind his head.

The soldier watched the two men's performance with satisfaction, chattered on and on, and then looked at Tony.

Ethan quickly translated, "They're asking you, 'Have you thought it through?'"

Tony looked at the exhaust fan in the corner, which was spinning rapidly, providing fresh air to the entire cave.

"Translate this for me: I've thought it through, I need some time to prepare." As he spoke, the T-virus stock solution at the back of his head slammed to the ground with a "thud," and green smoke diffused from the test tube, quickly turning transparent. Apart from Ethan, who was nearby, no one else noticed.

"Translate it!" Tony urged, noticing Ethan staring behind him.

"Okay, translate." Ethan translated Tony's words to the other party. The Ten Rings soldier asked Ethan to translate: "One week. No matter how long you prepare, we need to see the Jericho missile within a week."

As he said this, the soldier with the gun at the door suddenly began to cough, and his face visibly turned ashen.

"It won't take too long, I think a few minutes will be enough." Tony didn't expect it to work so quickly, in less than a minute.

Ethan didn't need to translate this, since the other person didn't have a chance to hear it. The soldier coughed more violently, even starting to vomit large amounts of blood, and soon lay motionless on the ground.

"This is!" Ethan exclaimed in surprise.

Tony picked up the table leg he had taken apart earlier and said as he walked away, "What else could it be but a miracle?"
