"Don't think you're the only ones with brains. Do you think I, Lane, am an idiot? Even if you manage to enter this place today, all
you'll find is a temporary antidote at best! The real cure isn't here," Lane scoffed, raising an eyebrow.
"Of course, you might not believe me! How about we play a game? If you can find the temporary antidote here within an hour, I'll
reveal the location of the real cure."
