Me? The director of the Asylum of All Heavens!

Chapter 45: What can I do to save you, Zaun

As the day dawned, the people of Piltover began a new day.

In the laboratory of Piltover University, Victor did not sleep all night. Last night, he successfully used the Hextech core to transform his leg that had been lame for many years, which made him feel the joy of running freely for the first time.

Originally, he was planning to make a concerted effort to further transform his other bodies, but suddenly he learned that Jayce was going to Zaun on a mission.

Jayce was trapped in Zaun and hadn't come back, so Viktor was in no mood to do any more experiments. Besides, he had run out of mutant glimmers.

He waited anxiously in the laboratory for a whole night, carving runes on his body countless times, but gave up the next experiment.

As day was about to dawn and the experimenters were about to go to work, Victor gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

At this time, Skye, a researcher at Piltover University who had a crush on Victor, came to the laboratory early.

"Victor, I have been working on a project privately for several weeks..."

"Oh no, this opening statement is a bit too monotonous." Sky muttered to himself while holding a stack of research materials.

"Victor, I have been working on this topic for a whole year, and I..."

"Victor, I've been wanting to ask you to take a look at this research project I've been working on for a long time..."

"Victor, I was inspired by you..."

Skye walked in the Piltover Research Institute, considering the words to use to chat up Victor, whom she had a crush on. She was looking forward to more opportunities to communicate with Victor.

Finally she arrived at the door of the laboratory.

"Everything you do inspires me." She took a deep breath, smiled, and pushed open the door of the laboratory.

In the laboratory, Victor was getting dressed.

"Vic...Oh, sorry! I didn't know you were changing clothes!" Skye was startled and shyly dropped the information in her hand and covered her face.

With a blushing face, she secretly looked at Victor's body through the gaps between her fingers, and a strange rune flashed under his shirt.

"It's okay, you're just in time. I'll leave the lab to you. I'm going to go find Jace."

Viktor was still restless and unable to concentrate on further experiments. He put on his clothes and prepared to go to the parliament to inquire about Jayce's whereabouts, and by the way, see if there was any channel to go to Zaun to get some mutant glimmers.

"Victor, you stayed up late again? Your body won't be able to take it if you continue like this." Sky said a little worriedly.

"Thank you for your concern, but there is something I have to do." Victor said as he straightened his clothes and walked out.

"Victor..." Skye couldn't help but call him.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Victor stopped and looked at her strangely.

"Um... you forgot to take your cane!" Skye's eyes turned and he picked up Victor's cane on the table.

She still couldn't express her feelings.

"Thank you." Victor was stunned for a moment, then took the cane and thanked her.

I was careless. After my limp healed, I accidentally forgot about the crutch that had been with me for so many years.

His transformation was the result of a very dangerous Hextech experiment. Before the direction of the experiment was perfected, he had to disguise his changes.

Victor limped out of the laboratory using a cane.

Then he ran into Heimerdinger who was bringing Ekko to the laboratory.

"Oh, Victor. Come on, let me introduce you. This is Ike. An inventor from Zaun, the leader of the resistance, and the inventor of the flying skateboard and the time-winder."

After Heimerdinger finished talking to Viktor, he turned to Ekko and said:
"Ike, this is Victor. He used to be my assistant, and now he's Jayce's experimental partner. Together they invented the Hextech Flying Door and other Hextech equipment."

He enthusiastically introduced the two young men he favored to each other.

"Hello." Victor held up his crutches and shook hands with Ike. "Nice to meet you." Ike also shook hands politely.

"You are all from Zaun, so you should have a common language. By the way, Viktor, where are you going?" Heimerdinger noticed that Viktor was about to go out.

"Ah, I want to ask about Jayce's whereabouts, and I also have some academic questions I want to consult him on." Victor hurriedly explained.

"Academics! I love academic exchanges the most! Come on! How about we have a small academic salon? Oh, by the way, you don't have to worry too much about Jayce. Although Jayce is still in Zaun and hasn't returned, he is in a very safe place."

Heimerdinger said, looking at Ekko.

"Ekko's hometown is a very special place, amazing. You really should go see it." Heimerdinger almost exposed Ekko's Wildfire Gang territory.

Ekko quickly coughed a few times to stop Heimerdinger.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes. The hometown I mentioned is of course the place where his soul belongs. It certainly can't be a real place, and it's even more impossible to be hidden in..." The more Heimerdinger explained, the more confused he became, and he almost revealed the address of the Wildfire Gang.

"Heimerdinger, what are you talking about?"

Ike interrupted Heimerdinger helplessly and said, "He is in a secret base in Zaun, which is the territory of our Wildfire Gang. Even Hilco couldn't find him for so many years. It is very safe. I hope you can keep it a secret for me."

"Of course." Victor was relieved to know that Jace was okay.

"Professor, what brings you here this time?" Victor asked curiously.

"You know that there is a very serious biochemical crisis in Bottom City, right? The discussion in the parliament is going around in circles, and they are still playing political tricks. This time we are here mainly to analyze with Ike from a scientific perspective and discuss how to solve the problem of virus leakage in Bottom City and resolve this disaster. Are you interested?"

Heimerdinger extended an olive branch to Viktor.

"Of course I would. It's my honor to do something for my hometown!"

As a Zaun by birth, Victor is naturally willing to contribute to Zaun.

"Unfortunately, we don't have any virus samples. I wonder if Mel can bring back some samples for us to study this time." Heimerdinger said, scratching his head.

……

At this time, on the Zaun airship, Mel's radio recording was still playing repeatedly.

Some Zaun people who were being chased by zombies or werewolves saw the fully armed Noxian soldiers on the airship and thought they saw their saviors. They cheered and wanted the airship to land to save them.

The Noxian soldiers on the airship held their spears and looked straight ahead, while their lieutenant general Rectors loyally guarded Anbesa.

"General, we can't descend anymore. Just now a werewolf pounced on us from the rooftop of a tall building and almost hit our airship."

A Noxian soldier reported to Embesa and her daughter.

"Then maintain the current cruising altitude. If any blind beasts approach, let them see how powerful the Noxians are." Anbesa gave the order casually.

Mel stood by the guardrail and bit her lip as she watched the tragic situation in Zaun. She asked the law enforcement officers she brought with her to shoot at the group of zombies.

The hit rate when shooting at zombies from such a high altitude can be imagined. Even if a few shots hit the zombies, it cannot be 100% lethal.

Of the several monsters rampaging in Zaun, only the clown zombie can be killed by bullets.

"Save the bullets, we can't help them. That's why we need Hextech weapons. With Hextech weapons you can save more people." Mel's mother comforted Mel while brainwashing him.

"I can't bear to watch them die in front of me!"

Mel was annoyed that his mother was talking about Hextech weapons at this time, so he turned around and said to his mother.

"Then don't look at it. Go back to the cabin first. I'll call you out when we get to the factory where Jace and the others disappeared."

Mel's mother forcefully ordered her guard, the bearded Rectors, to take her daughter into the airship cabin.
