Maverick asked them to wait for a while and she also sent some video feed directly from her PC to be seen by everyone. Cindy immediately focused. Her ability to remember things clearly can now show its prowess today.

Maverick did some security bypass and virus termination pass for quite a while. She has been doing it for ten minutes until she finally cracked the last ”gate” that traps the info.

”I’m inn! Quick! Scan it! I can’t hold the security for two minutes!” Maverick said, excited on what did she finally got but also somewhat exhausted since she keep her focus on the monitor to fight off the possible closing gate program that made it close.

Cindy immediately read the document. She didn’t flinch even though she have read something outrageous and something that is hard to believe in, she didn’t pause at all. With her fast reading skills accompanied by her photographic memory, her memorization skills are amazing. The document is quite long but Cindy managed to finish the entire file for 1minute and 39 seconds. After finding everything out, Cindy pants and catches her breath. Apparently, using the two abilities of her makes a toll on her concentration and she needs to rest for a while.

”Are you alright?” Miyuki grasped Cindy on her shoulder and helped her lay on the sofa.

”I’m... alright. Just a little bit... tired,” Cindy said as she holds her forehead.

”She needs to rest. Having to use most of her energy mades her too exhausted,” Chie said.

”I see, then, she will rest before she gives us the info,” Kyosei nodded.

Maverick wiped her sweat. She was having trouble keeping the time longer for Cindy but luckily, she finished the entire article. Zhao Fang and Zecker seems amazed by Cindy as she can do finish the long document less than two minutes which even they have trouble on since they are also one of those guys who tried to read the entry but has not got enough good information.

”Wow, Cindy is the best. We can now get to properly read that hard to access document!” Zhao Fang said.

”Be patient, Old Fang. Cindy is tired and she needs to rest. Keeping on pestering her will just make the matters worse,” Zecker kept his composure.

”Hey, that info might be something valuable! I have skim on it before it was shutdown and it seems to be a new experiment and they succeeded doing so which is kind of mysterious since I have not finished reading it due to security. All I can grasp is all about something that they have done these past two days and managed to get successful,” Zhao Fang defended himself.

Kyosei also heard it. It is quite possible that they have managed to finish the experiment and get a very good result. It seems to be similar to those Resident Evil games but he can’t be sure on what kind of success did the scientist made to make the file so full of security.

Kyosei yawned. He is getting tired for all of the back to back scavenging he did. He also did the hard infiltration job not long ago and he also did a scavenging job in the construction site, making him more tired than usual.

”You all do the work, I shall sleep for a while, let me see the finished work later,” Kyosei said waving goodbye. The others nodded. They knew Kyosei had a lot of trouble and if they are in his shoes, they might have collapsed in sleepiness and won’t budge to work.

Kyosei lay down on the bed after taking off his beanie and headphones. He was too tired to move, but he seemed not pleased. After knowing that the cause of the outbreak, he seemed to be more on contemplating on how dark does the humans do to just achieve their goals. The Virus Galea seems to be the work of humans which made it unique. And for some reason, he caught a glance on the file that has a two minute viewing only, and for some reason, he felt alarmed due to the keyword, ”7 years old girl” and ”Project” on it. Moreover, this kind of file seems to be too important and has a more precise information which makes it too valuable. Kyosei kept on thinking on this for quite a while and he didn’t notice himself sleeping after doing the thinking.

...

”Mom! Dad! No!” Kyosei shouted as he saw the burning car that crashed on a big dump truck.

”Go! Run! Don’t look back! Run as far as you can!” his mother cried while she was bleeding inside the burning car.

Kyosei hesitated for a bit but seeing how his mother is tightly hugging his father, Kyosei has no choice.

”I will be back! I will call for help!” Kyosei shouted before running to the opposite direction where the burning car is.

Just as Kyosei was around a few kilometers away from the car, the car exploded and every hopes that Kyosei held for rescuing his mother and father all disappeared along with the wavering life that his parents have that was immediately claimed by death...

...

Kyosei woke up and was sweating profusely.

”That dream again,” Kyosei held his head as it ache for a while.

Kyosei avoided to sleep because he was avoiding to dream it. He never remembered much memory from his parents except that. He have seen a few w photos of them including him but he did not remember much from it. Even when they are buried, he never shed a single tear.

”Kyosei, are you up?” Miyuki’s voice rang outside the door.

”Yeah, just a second,” Kyosei picked up the headphones and his beanie and wore them before going out the room.

...

Kyosei arrived the lounge and saw Nanami, Cindy, Chie and Miyuki who are currently waiting for him.

”Kyosei, the document that Cindy memorized are now here. We have already sent a copy to the other hackers and you can also read it too. We will wait for your judgement on this,” Nanami said to Kyosei.

Kyosei nodded and directly replaces Nanami in front of the laptop and began reading the document.

Log #9999: Project Eve - 03/23/20XX

Status: Success

Researcher: Dr. Slachirkovov

Requires Class SSS+ Security for avoiding the content to be leaked out to all personnel. Restricted information and only the permitted personnels are allowed to view this.

Information cannot be leaked under normal circumstances and once leaked, the personnel who leaked it will get terminated immediately.

Experiment Log:

After countless of trial and error, the research finally comes to a close and the domestication of the Virus Galea is now achieved. Personnel #9999 was meant to be the last research subject. She was a 7 year old girl who didn’t reach her adulthood yet. After being introduced by the Virus Galea via skin contact, no visible changes occurred and no internal changes occurred either. After 12 minutes of observation and seeing Personnel #9999 is still fine, Virus Galea was introduced to her via Oral Intake. Just like the first one, she did not produce any kind of change. She was then introduced once more to the Virus Galea after 12 minutes via injection and this time around, we finally concluded that we cultivated the virus at long last.

Description:

Personnel# 9999 was changed to Project Eve. She will be secured to a cell that is monitored and has an SSS+ security and in the first sign of breach, she will be shot with tranquilizer to incapacitate her and will be prioritized to be evacuated.

Project Eve’s importance is the fact that she can utilize the mutation caused by the Virus Galea freely on her own makes her a biological weapon and can be used in wars and exterminating the dead this way. She will be the first one that will be studied and once the procedure is completed, she can be duplicated by the use of human cloning.

Kyosei went mad and he slammed his handto the table, almost hitting the laptop which Nanami immediately rescued.
