After Rhett inserted a thick silver needle into Matthew's shoulder, the man, who had been unconscious for a day, finally showed signs of fluctuating spiritual power. The tension lasted for half a minute before he awoke, after which a surge of restless emotions filled the entire room, prompting Rhett to take action.

Just as Matthew was about to spring out of bed, a formidable force suppressed his strength from the forehead. He could not move a muscle.

His gaze shifted downward, sweeping across the silver needles all over his body and the people standing by the bed.

A bitter smile adorned his lips. It turned out that everything he had just experienced was nothing more than a dream.

The pain in his dream felt so real as because Rhett was inserting the thick silver needles into him.

Lola, who was cladded in a protective suit, beamed in relief upon noticing his awakening. "Matthew, you're awake! How do you feel?"

Despite losing his sensation because the major acupoints were sealed by the silver needles, he nodded at her concerned eyes.

"I'm fine. By the way, how is the little monk?" He clearly remembered the fact that the little monk was also infected by the virus before he fell into a swoon.

"The little monk is fine. His infection is mild, and the seniors treated him in time. He's getting some rest. I've also contacted Mr. Whitford to inform them that we might return only after the final round."

In the meantime, Alvin entered the room with a stack of documents. He was first stunned by the awakened man before the emotion gave way to joy. "Sir, I have the results. According to the research team, they compared the genes, and it is confirmed that the virus' genetic composition contains three kinds of plants-cuscuta, terra lotus and zombie fungus, in addition to the previously discovered love-vine. The gene base is actually the mutated zombie fungus. The other three parasitic plants are hidden in the gene sequence, acting as auxiliary."

He could not mask his excitement.

The genetic composition of Zombie Virus was peculiar; its gene sequence could not be found in the existing gene library, not even a similar one.

However, there were similarities between its segments. If they compared the existing gene library with its segments separately, it would take aeons before they found something new. However, time was running out.

Everyone in the room was equally surprised by the results, for how amazing Matthew and Paintaker were. How were they able to distinguish the remaining plant genes hidden in the virus?

Of course, this was something only the experts could understand, not laymen.

Matthew appeared inhumane because of the secret technique of Divine Skill, which enhanced one's chemical senses in full swing.

Furthermore, every plant had its unique properties. As long as these properties remained, they could always be traced.

The seniors naturally showed joy upon hearing the news, for it was a huge leap of progress. As long as they could replace out the substances contained in the virus, all they had to do was to focus on researching the corresponding antidote.

Suddenly, Rhett frowned. His first guess was that the virus had been artificially manipulated. To put it more clearly, it is possible that it was a kind of man-made biochemical virus.

Still, that was not his main concern because human nature was more terrifying than viruses.

As an afterthought, he exchanged glances with the other three elderly people. Their brows were tightly knitted. They were clearly plagued by the same idea.

"Give us a moment. I have to talk to Matthew alone."

Everyone left the room accordingly.
