Level 9 — Virus Lab

Video Walkthrough

Objective

Suit up from the changing-room puzzle, pull files off the laptop with the flash drive, canvas the open-air stalls for specimens you cannot spot bare-eyed, then enter the bio-lab. Index every labeled bottle (such as **C-1**, **I-3**, **D-5**, **O-6**, **V-4**) plus each culture dish, match slides under the microscope, spin isolates in the centrifuge, and transcribe the chalkboard reaction tree into a burner sequence that yields first serum and then the upgraded anti-viral dose before you cut the quarantine seal and deploy it back at the market.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Decon locker. Solve the tile or matching puzzle so the rack releases a full hazmat kit—suit, gloves, boots, mask, and goggles—before you are allowed into hot zones later in the episode.
2. Field intel. Grab the removable drive, slot it into the field laptop, and clear both the gesture lock and the stylized “virus” jigsaw; the payout is usually coordinates or ingredient hints for the outdoor scene.
3. Market sweep. Use the magnifying glass on stalls and crates to lift hidden bugs or swipe cards tucked into lettering—anything the HUD highlights with a lens glint should ride in inventory toward microscopy.
4. Bench inventory. Inside the lab, log every numbered vial pair and bacterial plate called out on the label strip (**C-1 / I-3 / D-5 / O-6 / V-4** style IDs may vary with localization) so you do not mis-pour when the board demands a strict order.
5. Prep work. Seat each specimen on the microscope stage for the spot-the-difference or morphology check the UI expects, then load the rotor and run the centrifuge spin that isolates the pellet your notebook references.
6. Chalkboard blueprint. Photograph the wall equations: they spell the acid-base or heating ladder you must follow—add reactants strictly left-to-right (or top-to-bottom) on the bench carrels.
7. First fusion. Execute the glassware choreography on the Bunsen or hot plate until the narrative awards the baseline serum—do not jump to booster steps until that cutscene or checkmark fires.
8. Booster dose. Process the serum per the secondary panel (filtration, adjuvant mix, or timed cooldown) until the HUD names the enhanced vaccine ready for field use.
9. Return and deploy. Snip the twisted tie or wire seal with scissors, exit to the marketplace set piece, and apply the dose on the hotspot that completes the outbreak arc.
