After all, they also look forward to seeing how different the offspring of these virus carriers will be.

Only by ensuring everything is safe can they properly use the virus to obtain the energy they need.

Finally, after a long wait, the woman's child was born.

She gave birth all by herself without anyone's help.

However, the newborn child plunged her into silence.

The child is covered in soft fur and looks very much like a brown bear cub.

Although it has human-like features, it looks almost exactly like a wild animal cub.

She knew that such a freak should be put to death immediately, but her maternal instincts made her hesitate.

The great difference between humans and beasts lies precisely in the fact that humans possess intelligence.

As a mother, she immediately realized what she should do.

Despite her weakness after giving birth, the woman left the tribe again, sneaked into the territory of a wild bear, and stole a real bear cub.

At the same time, she told the tribal chief about it, an old man who was very old but still dignified.

It was because the chieftain knelt down and held up an apple that the divine being appeared, which enabled them to develop into such a tribe.

Therefore, even though there were people more powerful than him, no one in the tribe failed to respect him.

The truth was about to be revealed, and she begged the chief not to kill her child, but the tribe’s rules forbade the preservation of such a different species.

The woman pleaded with the chieftain to kill the real bear cub, and that night she would leave the tribe with her own bear child.

This was the last thing she could do as a mother.

Even if they are primitive people who do not yet have the concept of mother.

But at this moment, the rudiments of maternal love have already begun to emerge.

She would certainly die within the tribe, but outside the tribe, with the bear cub by her side, there might be a glimmer of hope.

The clan chief agreed.

They made the incident public, accusing the woman of giving birth to a bear cub and killing the fake bear cub.

However, the real bear cubs were secretly taken out of the tribe by the women under the cover of night.

The researchers, who only learned of this that evening, were completely dumbfounded: a human had given birth to a bear cub?!

What about reproductive isolation? Why isn't there reproductive isolation?

Future science proved ineffective at this point, and researchers were eager to investigate the condition of the bear cub.

Although the tribe claims to have killed the bear cubs born to the woman, nothing in the tribe escapes their surveillance.

Indeed, they did not constantly monitor the tribe's daily life, but they could monitor it whenever necessary.

With their technology, the lives of primitive people had no secrets.

They quickly checked the surveillance cameras that had been set up and learned that the woman was leaving the tribe with a real bear cub in her arms.

Therefore, the researchers planned to retrieve the bear cub for further research.

This is more valuable than studying human children because it contains many mysteries that have not yet been scientifically proven.

They had already installed location devices on virus carriers and equipped them with control measures.

The gene control lock will be activated immediately if there is any sign of resistance.

The researcher casually pressed the control button.

This would force the woman to remain stationary, unable to move.

Until they went there in person to bring it back.

However, at that moment, the alarms on their bodies suddenly went off.

The research institute immediately issued a level-one alert.

A hint of fear flashed across the eyes of every researcher.

An emergency has occurred.

They could no longer focus on the woman and her cub and had to rush back to the research institute immediately.

The research institute was not located near the tribe, but in a more remote area.

It's not that the things in the research institute couldn't be seen by primitive people; after all, even if they saw them, they wouldn't understand them.

Rather, they need to constantly defend against natural disasters outside; they can't wait until natural disasters reach the territory of primitive tribes before they can resist them.

Energy collection is of paramount importance, especially the observation of monstrous creatures that could trigger natural disasters.

But today, the research institute was attacked.

A colossal monster, its body flowing with magma and spewing forth raging flames, discovered their hiding place.

And they launched an attack on them from a distance.

Although the institute activated its energy barrier and cooled the magma with liquid nitrogen in a timely manner, the entire institute did not suffer major damage.

However, due to the frequent attacks from the calamity beasts, the research institute had to invest a lot of resources in defense, putting it in a passive position.

Until the monstrous beast seemed to have gotten tired of playing, stopped exerting its strength, and chose to leave.

This allowed many researchers at the institute to finally take a short break, collapsing onto the institute's cold floor.

Their defense lasted for three days.

Although the operation collected a large amount of energy, the defense itself was also extremely energy-intensive.

When you add it all up, it's not actually that profitable.

The main problem was that the sudden attack by the calamity beast caught them off guard, making it difficult for them to react in time.

But just when many researchers could finally relax a little,

The team leader's face was as gloomy as the dark night sky, his brows furrowed, and his expression full of pressure.

Then, he said in a cold voice:

"How exactly do you do your job?"

"The Hastur virus is lost!"

The Outer God Virus is missing!? How is that possible?

For a moment, everyone looked bewildered and confused upon hearing the news, exchanging bewildered glances.

Stealing from someone in charge? Who would steal this thing?
