Zhu Chaomin seemed somewhat anxious, explaining the situation in as few words as possible.

After hearing his explanation, Liu Kai finally understood that the matter was indeed not as serious as it seemed.

Humans infected with the latest mutated virus will become like raging beasts, losing their minds and becoming extremely aggressive.

There are even instances of cannibalism.

However, they are still human, and the chance of infection from biting is extremely low.

The body will not decompose, it will be anesthetized, it can be knocked down by a stun gun, and it will also die from excessive blood loss.

And once the virus in the body is eliminated, one will return to a healthy person with normal mental state, without any aftereffects.

That's why Zhu Chaomin said it's somewhat similar to zombies in movies, but it will never become a biohazard.

And he made an additional discovery.

It appears that this virus is somehow related to the "Pan Tao" medicine developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

People who have been vaccinated against the virus or have recovered from a viral infection will experience a stronger boost from the "Peach" medicine.

Qin Luofei is a good example.

But he couldn't explain the specific connection.

After all, the "Peach" medicine only contains special compounds and is not the same as a live virus.

"Old Zhu, where were these people found? In a shelter?"

Zhu Chaomin waved his hand: "That's exactly what I was going to say."

"Fortunately, it wasn't found in a shelter, but in the urban area of ​​Rongcheng, near the ruins of the 'Survival of the Fittest Group' building, which has already been destroyed!"

"This machine was also discovered along with them."

Following Zhu Chaomin's finger, Liu Kai's gaze fell on a metal box the size of a computer tower on the experimental table not far away.

"This machine contains a gas cylinder with an electronically controlled automatic valve that can control the rate at which gas is released."

"When I found it, I detected a large amount of residual mutated virus gas inside."

"But don't worry, it's all been cleaned up now."

Liu Kai frowned as he listened to this account; it was that "Survival of the Fittest" group again.

Weren't they wiped out?

As he pondered, Liu Kai carefully scanned the machine on the table.

But upon closer inspection, Liu Kai's eyes widened in astonishment!

Without saying a word, he strode up to the machine, grabbed it with both hands, and with a "crack," tore open its steel casing with his bare hands.

This scene left everyone stunned.

The one who reacted the fastest was the young man in the white coat who had just mocked Liu Kai.

He rushed forward and grabbed Liu Kai's arm tightly with both hands, shouting at him.

"Stop! Liu Kai, what exactly are you trying to do?"

There were many people at the scene, and Liu Kai was too lazy to fight with this person.

She simply stared at him coldly and said, "Let go!"

"I won't let go! Liu Kai, I'm warning you, this is an important research item of ours, you can't destroy it without permission!"

Liu Kai sneered at his words.

The internal structure of this thing is not complicated; it consists of a gas cylinder, motor, valve, battery, and circuit board.

What research value does it have?

He immediately used a hidden force to break free from the white-coated man's hands, causing him to stagger backward.

It slammed into the glass door behind it with a loud bang before finally coming to a stop.

Before the doctor in the white coat could launch another attack, Liu Kai had already removed the palm-sized circuit board from the machine.

He walked up to Shen Shiwei, who looked puzzled, handed him the circuit board, and pointed to a certain area.

"Commander Shen, what do you think this is?"

Shen Shiwei silently took the circuit board and carefully examined the spot where Liu Kai was pointing.

The next moment, his expression was just like Liu Kai's earlier, his eyes widening as if he had seen a ghost.

"What?! How...how is this possible?!"

The sudden sound startled everyone in the laboratory, leaving them completely bewildered.

Even the white-coated man who wanted to rush up and question Liu Kai stopped in his tracks.

There was a small logo, a few millimeters in size, etched on the circuit board.

Green Twin Serpent Staff!

Yang Hongchang and the others who were watching were unaware of the meaning of the symbol.

But Shen Shiwei, who had just learned about the "Destiny" family today, was very clear about it.

This represents the Crassus family, which originated in Europe and possesses healing abilities (giant green crystals).

His expression instantly turned somewhat unpleasant.

Staring intently at Liu Kai, he said, "Although I don't know how you discovered this, it's very important. It might really be related to the origin of the virus."

Liu Kai nodded: "These people are really overreaching."

They both had a guess in their minds at the same time.

It seems that these "destined" families have all sensed the crisis and are constantly causing trouble.

The Sinclair family is developing artificial intelligence called "Qi Ling," while the Feng family has set its sights on China's military power.

The Krassau family is researching viruses, so the "Survival of the Fittest" group must be supported by this family.

It seems that this mysterious group was only destroyed on the surface, but is still operating in secret.

But whatever they're doing, their goal is probably the same:

That is to once again dominate the world and regain a superior position that surpasses all other countries.

After a long silence, Shen Shiwei sighed and said, "Don't worry, I will report to General Secretary Qiu immediately."

This conversation was so cryptic that it left everyone bewildered.

What exactly happened?

Who are the "group of people" that Liu Kai mentioned?

Moreover, even a theater general commander couldn't make up his mind and had to report to the General Secretary.

Only Yang Hongchang seemed lost in thought, perhaps it was all related to today's "top secret" meeting.
