Chapter 1841
It was a hot, sunny afternoon when Lily strode into the laboratory building with a hazmat suit on. She
appeared to be in a hurry and looked like she was swamped.
The hallway was silent, with no one in sight, which she had expected. Usually, most working areas
would be packed with people during the day and turned dead silent at night.
However, Lily noticed this place was the opposite after observing it for the last two days. Midnight was
when this place would be full of people and was its busiest time, while no one would be around during
the day.
This place was the institute's rightful property and a legitimate place of business. They could operate
normally, but Lily wondered if they worked late at night because they were accustomed to doing things
at night or could only do the experiments during that period.
Anyhow, this place worked the opposite way as the other working areas. Since that was the case, Lily
had to execute her plan during the day.
Nonetheless, the different working hours made it more convenient for her.

during her regular working hours sufficed.
Besides those working in their solo laboratories, few were taking naps. The hallway was so silent that
one could hear a pin drop.
Lily held her breath and entered the innermost area of the institute. As Mike brought her here before,
her iris and fingerprint scanning went smoothly. Now, she wanted to find the top secrets of this
research.
She had looked through the information given to her the other day and found it incomplete. Lily had
also expected that because the institute was wary of her, even though they needed her talent.
When she saw the giant, mutated wilfordi root the other day, she looked calm outside when she was, in
fact, astonished.
It was not that she had not seen such a thing in movies before. For instance, she would often see it in
movies depicting the end of the world, terrible levels of pollution due to humans, or those revolving
around scientific research, which would then fall upon the human race.
However, she never thought she would see such a thing in real life. Besides the wilfordi root, she
wondered if they had experimented on other poisonous plants, animals, or even humans.
After all, the plague happened previously, while Cameron, Austin, Edward, and maybe even other
innocent people were victims of their experiments. Lily knew she had to eradicate this institute.
Otherwise, they would bring irreversible destruction to the world.
She intended to start by looking into the wilfordi root. First, she had to find out how harmful it was and if
there were any changes to its poisonous properties. Then it would be best if she could hack into their
database and obtain firsthand information about the research.
She had been observing this place and knew where all the surveillance cameras and monitoring
systems were. As for the security system, she was an expert in that. Managing all this was not a
problem for her.
As for the other factors, such as hidden cameras and monitoring systems, she had no way to be sure
about that. However, time was not on her side, and she could no longer delay things. By the time she
gathered that information, the institute might have run out of patience.

It was strange how no one was in this research center now. Only the machines were running,
constantly creating beeping sounds. To be safe, Lily headed to the working space first and pretended to
organize the documents as she scanned her surroundings through her peripheral vision. Some of the
seats had pens and notebooks, which meant people were occupying them before this, and they might
be back soon. She could not miss this golden opportunity. Even if she got caught, she could always just
say she was there to look for some information.
With that, she bent her back and started to type away on the keyboard.
The "boss’' gave her the secret key and login access, but she realized there were minimal things she
could view once she had logged into the system. Besides keying in and checking information, she
could do nothing else.
As for the top secrets, they were not on this computer. Lily tried to key in Mike's credentials, but it
showed that she had entered the wrong details.
Frowning, she turned and headed toward the wilfordi root, deep in thought. The plant was in a giant
glass jar like a living thing. She even felt like the plant was waving at her.
Unable to help herself, she walked overt© it.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Just as she was about to touch it, a voice sounded. It was deep, but it
still frightened her in this silent space.
