CHAPTER 37: CHAPTER 37: COMMON TRAITS OF MONSTERS

Such a thing, capable of transforming inorganic components into organic components, isn’t that equivalent to creating life in another form?

Shen Yu rubbed his brow.

He’s not a professional scientist and doesn’t have much knowledge in this area, but he’s certain this is another creation completely beyond cognition, with significant research value. Even in the interstellar civilization, it would surely attract attention as a monster.

Besides, there has been research conducted on its edibility.

All organisms used for edibility experiments have died, but the cause of death was not found, meaning no known toxins were identified.

This result is neither particularly good nor bad.

Combining the technology of the interstellar civilization or the methods of the Martial Arts Civilization, if it can be resolved, then this thing is practically a godsend source of food.

There’s no need for the whole body; just a piece cut off, still active, can be cultivated by feeding it inorganic matter.

Real meat that can be "grown"!

This could enable the Martial Arts World to achieve self-sufficiency.

However, the premise for everything is still resolving the issue of edibility safety, which for now can only be set aside.

Shen Yu has considerable concerns about these creatures, which expand chaotically and lurk underground, rarely appearing.

He then turned his gaze to another kind.

The other "creature," the "zombie" crisis occurring in West Country, has exploded over just two days but has undergone some research.

The result is equally astonishing.

This is not the "virus" initially imagined by people, but a unique "bacteria."

Even though Shen Yu has not attended university, he knows the difference between the two.

Bacteria are independent living organisms with complete cellular structures, whereas viruses are merely composed of a nucleic acid molecule and protein in a non-cellular form, unable to survive and reproduce independently, and are much smaller than bacteria.

Meaning, those zombies appear to be independent entities, but in reality, they are composed of countless such bacteria, their cellular tissues having been devoured entirely.

Additionally, these bacteria demonstrate a strong differentiation and linkage effect.

They can differentiate into various organizations necessary for group actions, like bacteria simulating muscle fibers or bacteria that are hard and possess strong penetration capabilities. Moreover, to ensure these bacteria can perform optimally, there must be close links between them and inevitably a unified control center.

Call them bacteria, but actually more akin to ant colony-like insects.

Division of labor is clear, information transmission efficient and orderly.

"These creatures fully transcend previous cognition." Shen Yu removed his gaze from the complex professional terminology, his brow tightly furrowed.

Undeniably, including the eye insect, the three monsters differ at first glance but exhibit two entirely consistent traits.

First, they all possess world-destroying potential!

Second, they all become increasingly terrifying as time progresses!

The eye insects and zombie bacteria pertain to quantity, the devouring worms relate to size.

They all continuously replicate and expand!

Before conditions worsen to an irreparable extent, eradicating these monsters is humanity’s only choice!

"Boss." Ji Mingshu walked in from outside at this moment, "Messengers from the West Country and Northern Alliance have already arrived at the company building."

They still remain in the company not because there’s no better place, but due to Shen Yu’s personal habits.

A familiar environment allows Shen Yu to feel more comfortable.

Moreover, he has ordered the purchase of the entire building.

Even now, other companies in the building have mostly moved out, leaving the entire building to the Shen Group.

Thus, the arrival of the messengers from West Country and Northern Alliance would not attract public attention.

Certainly, this can’t escape the notice of those with intentions, but there’s no need to hide.

The Gray Mist Walker, Association member, need not hide in the shadows!

Salvation is the greatest light!

"Go to the meeting room to wait for me. Keep the number of participants low, just let the critical people come in." Shen Yu instructed.

"Yes." Ji Mingshu responded.

Shen Yu noticed that Ji Mingshu’s expression also carried a touch of unhideable fatigue.

These past few days, he likely hasn’t rested at all.

There are indeed too many things to do.

"Perhaps there should be some welfare for non-staff employees and family members of members." Shen Yu thought.

However, this is not something to do now.

He adjusted his attire slightly and directly walked into the meeting room.

Upon entry, he saw three groups of representatives sitting in three positions in the meeting room.

Including two people from the Eastern Country Meteorite Crisis handling department, one being liaison Chen Ran, and the other being the chubby department leader met in previous meetings, named Qi Shichang, with a very high rank.

West Country and Northern Alliance also had two representatives each, with the West Country representative being particularly familiar to Shen Yu, frequently appearing in international news, apparently with a strong background.

Shen Yu, who often does business abroad, understands that in some regions, powerful family backgrounds have more influence than official power.

The merger of both indeed results in "big figures."

However, such "big figures," upon seeing Shen Yu walk in at this moment, all stood up immediately, with expressions full of cordial smiles.

"It’s a great honor to meet you, Mr. Shen, your presence is like a gift from God to us. Many among us regard you as the embodiment of God..."

As soon as they began, enthusiastic praises poured out as if they were free, even in quite standard Chinese. Especially the assistant brought by West Country, a tall blonde beauty, glued her eyes on Shen Yu at the moment, completely unaware of what restraint means.

Even Qi Shichang’s eye corners twitched.

The intention is really too blatant.

However, to Qi Shichang’s relief, faced with such straightforward indication, Shen Yu’s expression remained completely unchanged.

After all, he’s no longer in the phase when he first acquired ability and status, having experienced eight years of wealthy life, leaving nothing unexplored.

"There’s no need for meaningless words." Shen Yu sat in the main seat directly, his speech rather unpolite, "I’ve finished reading the materials and am surprised by your inefficiency. Could it be that you’ve already built the spaceship to escape the Mother Star? Is there a ticket for you and your family on it, Olinard?"

"..."

West Country representative Olinard’s voice abruptly halted, his expression showing a trace of embarrassment.

The spaceship to escape the Mother Star hasn’t been built yet, but construction is indeed being accelerated.

He naturally has a ticket.
