“LAZARUS” work information
The year is 2052. The world is in an unprecedented era of peace, and the painkiller Hapuna, developed by neuroscientist Dr. Skinner, has contributed significantly to this. Hapuna is spread all over the world as a “miracle drug” with no side effects, freeing humanity from pain.
However, Skinner, the developer, suddenly disappeared, and no one knew where he was. Three years later, he reappears as a demon that will lead the world to ruin. Hapuna is a drug that causes the user to develop symptoms and die after three years, and it was a trap set. “There are 30 days left. If you can find my location by then, humanity can survive.”
The only way to save humanity is to use Skinner’s only vaccine. And he says that you have to find him if you want this. To counter Skinner’s conspiracy, a team of five agents, known as “Lazarus,” has been assembled worldwide. Can they save humanity? And what is Skinner’s true purpose?
