Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Antidote To Zombie Virus

“But why? Why would a part of the antidote to the zombie virus, which is ravaging humanity, be hidden in a world of vampires, which humans can’t easily reach?”

However, Su Jiyai understood why, even though her luck stats were so high, she ended up in the vampire world.

It was because the highest amount of luck a person could have in the apocalypse is to get their hands on the antidote to the zombie virus.

[It’s unclear. However, given the value of the antidote, it could be that powerful entities—perhaps even the vampire royalty—wanted to keep it hidden away from both humans and other dimensions.]

Su Jiyai shook her head.

The system’s answer didn’t feel logical at all, but she decided to not delve into the matter any further.

Hearing the system say that the scroll in her hand was an antidote, Su Jiyai only felt as if she would faint.

Even if it was 1/7th part it can be submitted to the other institutes who are genuinely working on finding the antidote, right?

Once she finds the remaining 6 parts won’t a full solution can be made? Once an antidote is made they can be free from the apocalypse!

Su Jiyai’s eyes brightened.

She could already see the bright future of humanity. However, she celebrated too early.

[Host don’t think of handing it over to someone else. There are two main reasons why you shouldn’t do so. First, if only half of the antidote is submitted to them instead of the full, then instead of an antidote it may act as a strengthening potion to the zombies.]

Su Jiyai was surprised but when she remembered the basics of virology , she understood the system’s words.

Many antidotes, if only completed halfway can actually have adverse effects, sometimes even strengthening the toxins or the virus they are meant to combat. The system’s warning made sense.

Su Jiyai felt her stomach sink. The very thought of accidentally enhancing the enemy she was trying to defeat was terrifying.

“And the second reason?” she asked cautiously, afraid of what she might hear.

[The second reason is more concerning. If the formula falls into the wrong hands, powerful factions or even the zombies themselves could find a way to weaponize it. You cannot trust that everyone seeking the antidote has pure intentions.]

Su Jiyai clenched her fists.

“So, you’re telling me… I have to collect all seven parts on my own?”

[Correct, host. The antidote’s value makes it a dangerous asset. Only someone with your unique abilities can handle the mission.]

Su Jiyai let out a frustrated sigh. Her bright vision of saving humanity dimmed under the weight of the system’s warnings.

“Fine,” she said, “I’ll do it. By the way is there any third reason?”

Su Jiyai was only joking but the system surprised her with its next words.

[Yes host. Even after completing the 7 parts, you will have to research the antidote since the formula is only made up to 70% i.e. it is only 70% complete.]

“Oh… it’s alright. If I can get my hands on the 70%, I can experiment and find the cure before I die. But do you know who made this antidote? It would be better to consult that researcher directly, right?”

[No host. I don’t know who made the antidote in the first place.]

Su Jiyai sighed but it was expected.

“Alright. If I am not wrong the remaining parts of the scrolls are hidden in some other world, right?”

[Yes host.]

“Fine. I will look for them during my dimensional hunting session. For now, I will focus on the base expansion and research on my own.

System is it possible that if I made some progress on my own, I won’t need to find the next parts?”

[Yes host. If you are able to guess the next step of the antidote from the first fragment then you won’t need the second fragment and can directly find the 3rd fragment.]

Su Jiyai heaved a sigh of relief.

After some more questions, Su Jiyai put the topic on hold and asked the system to call Yuan Xin.

“Boss Su, how was your trip?” Yuan Xin asked in a cheerful voice.

Su Jiyai smiled,

“Good. How was your time in the base?”

“Very good!” Yuan Xin smiled.

“If you need anything you can tell me.” Su Jiyai said softly. Though she loved kids, for some reason she particularly liked Yuan Xin.

Maybe it was because of the boy’s dedication or his filial piety, or maybe it was because of his hardworking personality.

“Okay. You can now start to report.” Su Jiyai motioned Yuan Xin to report.

“Boss Su recently the flow of the customer has increased rapidly. Almost all of the rooms are rented but still, many applications for renting the room are pending.

Boss Su, it would be great if you could expand the area.”

“Eh? How so?” Su Jiyai was surprised.

Though her base was amazing and slow it would have grabbed the attention of many citizens but to such an extent…it was truly unbelievable for her.

Maybe they have understood her base is very cheap and affordable?

Su Jiyai was delighted when she thought so.

But Yuan Xin’s next words ruined her entire mood.

“It is because the temperature is rising. It has risen to the point that human skin melts the moment they step out of their house.

When an outsider got to know that we provide fans in each room, it quickly spread to other bases, and in no time, applications started to pile up.”

The temperature was increasing?

It wasn’t like Su Jiyai never thought of that possibility but she was still surprised.

“Boss Su there are also some requests from the tenants. They were asking if you could provide them with a weapon that could save them from the heat?” Yuan Xin said in an embarrassed tone.

Logically speaking it was completely impossible for Su Jiyai to come up with a weapon that could protect humans from heat until and unless she has the power to make weapons.
