Chapter 1177: Chapter 1177

With doubts, Tang Ming dialed the number of Dark Group’s Deputy Director Zhou Xiong.

"Group Leader Tang, why are you calling me so suddenly?"

Zhou Xiong asked in surprise.

"Director Zhou, can you help me check a phone number and a person named Niu Fei to see if he’s one of our Dark Group members?"

Tang Ming bluntly asked while walking out.

"Why are you... Okay, I’ll have someone check it right away."

Despite the doubts in his mind, Zhou Xiong quickly issued a query order.

A few minutes later, Zhou Xiong smiled and said, "Group Leader Tang, the person has been found. Niu Fei is indeed a member of the Dark Group."

"He’s really a member of the Dark Group? What is he doing in Songlan City?"

Tang Ming was surprised and suspicious.

"According to the records, there was a large-scale bizarre poisoning incident in Songlan City before, which has attracted attention from various parties. However, the Ming Group has been blocking the news. Out of curiosity and intelligence gathering, we sent Niu Fei with others to Songlan City to investigate secretly."

Zhou Xiong quickly responded and explained, "Lin Canghai sent them over. On one hand, to monitor the Ming Group’s movements, and on the other, to investigate the cause of the mass poisoning."

"So that’s it. I was wondering why he suddenly called me." Tang Ming suddenly understood.

"Haha, it must be because Lin Canghai knew you were in Songlan City, so he instructed Niu Fei and others to contact you directly if they encountered trouble."

Zhou Xiong laughed heartily, "If they really run into trouble, Group Leader Tang, when it’s convenient, please lend them a hand, after all, you’re now a key figure in the Ming Group."

"Alright, now I know what to do."

Tang Ming nodded and then hung up the phone, immediately taking a cab to the designated location.

In the car, Tang Ming’s phone rang again. When he took it out and looked at it, he frowned. It was an unknown call with no caller ID.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Tang Ming answered the phone.

"Someone is going after you, be careful..."

A pleasant female voice came from the other end, soft, somewhat like a cute girl from a cartoon.

"What? Who’s going after me? Hello, hello?"

But the call was already disconnected. Tang Ming shook his head helplessly. Who would be bored enough to make such a call?

Putting away the phone, Tang Ming didn’t take it too seriously.

In a dark, remote alley in Songlan City, a burly young man in casual clothes knelt on the ground in terror, with a few fresh, bloody corpses lying around him.

"Everyone, I’ve done what you asked, please spare my life."

After putting down his phone, Niu Fei looked pale as he kowtowed and begged the black-clad men blocking the alley, "We are from the Dark Group. If you kill me..."

After the gunshot, a bullet pierced Niu Fei’s forehead, and he quickly lost all signs of life.

"Clean it up, don’t leave any traces."

The man in black who fired the shot coldly ordered.

Immediately, someone came forward and poured a nameless liquid on the corpses.

In the blink of an eye, all the corpses melted away, leaving not even their clothes.

Tang Ming took a cab to the address Niu Fei mentioned, and as soon as he got out of the car, someone approached, "Are you Mr. Tang Ming?"

Tang Ming asked, puzzled, at the bespectacled young man with a crew cut before him.

In a suit and tie, with a common appearance, you couldn’t tell from his looks that he was a staff member of a special department.

The visitor quickly shook his head and awkwardly said, "My name is Zhao Feiyin."

Tang Ming raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"I’m really sorry. Niu Fei just called you, and then he got poisoned himself."

Zhao Feiyin sighed helplessly, saying in dread, "The pathogens up there are terrifying. We already have several people who have been poisoned. Would you like to detoxify first or see the pathogens first?"

"Then I’ll go see the pathogens first."

Tang Ming thought for a moment and decided to deal with the pathogens first. Otherwise, he would save one person, and several more would get poisoned, wearing him out.

Besides, Tang Ming wasn’t sure if his Detoxification Liquid could work, as the Genetic Virus was constantly mutating.

"Alright, I’ll take you to the seventh floor."

Zhao Feiyin quickly nodded and then led the way.

Entering the lobby, Tang Ming saw many staff members in protective suits maintaining order.

With the help of the staff, Zhao Feiyin put on a protective suit and then reminded Tang Ming to put one on as well.

Tang Ming shook his head; his body was the best protective suit. If it couldn’t resist, then these protective suits would be useless.

"No wonder members of the organization call you the Divine Doctor, truly skilled and daring."

Zhao Feiyin praised and immediately took Tang Ming into the elevator.

As the elevator reached the seventh floor, Tang Ming stepped out and immediately sensed something was off!

In front of him were numerous high-tech precision instruments, and the decor and layout were very similar to the biochemical lab base of the Ming Group.

"What is this place?"

Tang Ming asked Zhao Feiyin suspiciously.

"We don’t know either."

Zhao Feiyin shook his head, "When our people found this place, it was already abandoned, appearing to be some organization’s secret base. While inspecting and searching, our people discovered another seriously ill person. They initially wanted to rescue and interrogate him, but anyone who approached fell unconscious, showing symptoms very similar to those earlier poisoned in Songlan City."

Tang Ming narrowed his eyes, showing interest, and said, "Take me to see where the patient is."

"He’s in an isolation room in the middle of this lab."

Zhao Feiyin pointed forward, introducing.

Then Zhao Feiyin led Tang Ming to a silver iron door and introduced, "Mr. Tang, the patient is lying inside, have a look."

Tang Ming looked through the window on the door and saw a bed covered with layers of isolation plastic sheets inside the room, with a figure lying atop it, its appearance unclear.

"Open the door; I want to go in and take a look." Tang Ming squinted and instructed.

Zhao Feiyin seemed troubled and quickly took out a key, "Mr. Tang, the room is not safe now. Even with protective clothing, there is a risk of poisoning. You should go in on your own; I’ll wait for you further away."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Tang Ming took the key speechlessly and was about to open the door.

"Wait, wait until I get further away before you open the door."

Zhao Feiyin ran to a distance while nervously shouting.

Tang Ming rolled his eyes, then opened the door, silently activating his Poison Skill as a precaution.

The moment the door opened, Tang Ming had already activated his Poison Skill to the fullest, only to find that he sensed no toxic components.
