The lights in the top-floor lobby were extremely bright, as bright as day.
Furthermore, dozens of lightweight tempered glass jars below are reinforced from the inside, and restraint straps are installed in them. Even the strength of more than a dozen adults cannot break free. Soldiers put the mutated researchers into them, and air holes are left at the bottom of the jars.
The robotic arm on the ceiling drooped down, lifted the arms of each person, and secured them with restraints.
Put the top cover on and untie the original thick rope.
They displayed the mutated parts completely and without any concealment, revealing a shocking sight beneath their tattered clothes.
Tiny scales are all over it.
Behind Jiang Cheng stood countless silent people, looking at the person in the jar with expressions of pity, fear, or complexity.
These people were once of the same kind as them, with healthy limbs, soft skin, and gentle and docile natures.
It's turned out like this now.
Tali's face grew increasingly grim. He had prepared himself mentally, but the situation was far worse than he had imagined.
On the steps downstairs, the first thing he asked Jiang Cheng was, "Do researchers still have a chance to turn back?"
Then Jiang Cheng shook his head, rejecting the possibility.
The lobby on the top floor was crowded, but there wasn't a sound; it was completely silent.
No one knew what to say; everyone was confused and could only place their hopes on the leader.
Jiang Cheng and Tali walked to the side and discussed something in hushed tones. Time passed slowly, and they talked for a long time, clearly discussing a great deal of matters.
Fifteen minutes later.
Jiang Cheng cleared his throat, returned, and stood in front of everyone.
"Okay, there are many things to announce at this emergency meeting, let's take it one step at a time."
"First, I want to talk about our journey to the Arctic. After receiving the data from the Guling observation and discovering that it was falsified, we were very worried about the current situation of Arctic researchers and rushed over. After arriving at the fort, we found the bloodstains of Kloningt, who was delivering supplies. He was a good employee and unfortunately passed away."
"The entire fortress was deserted, so we went to the Death Dimension."
"As we suspected, Cronint was killed by the mutated researchers, and the cause of the mutation is related to dimensions, where a tiny organism that can invade the human body floats. We don't know the whole process of the mutation and it still needs to be studied."
“We did indeed see the Ancient Spirit…” Jiang Cheng paused slightly as he said this, and everyone’s eyes were focused on his face as they listened attentively. “It is enormous and gives people a strong sense of oppression, like an insurmountable mountain.”
"What? The Ancient Spirit has already been revived?" Wan Xingyan asked in shock.
"No, we only saw half of the body, and I had Assistant Gu write down the virtual data. We'll talk about it later."
Jiang Cheng continued, "I have some regrettable news. In my experience, once a gene reverses, the situation cannot be reversed in the short term. It takes hundreds of thousands of years for a gene to evolve and then degenerate again. In other words, the fate of these researchers has come to an end..."
At this point, the executives all looked into the glass jar, their eyes suddenly turning red within seconds, a deep sense of sorrow filling their hearts.
Under the light, the lizardman's scales were so dazzling that they pierced everyone's eyes, and they could no longer bear to look at them.
Tali even turned his head away in annoyance.
You Lixuan was taken aback, his hand, which he habitually reached to adjust his glasses, froze in mid-air.
Jiang Cheng pursed his lips, but at this moment he showed a calmness beyond that of an ordinary person. "Since there has been a problem, we should learn from it. As the deputy commander, I will take the lead. I will issue a statement to inform all members of the Federation, and at the same time, I will personally go to the family of the deceased to apologize this weekend."
Upon hearing this, You Lixuan felt that Jiang Cheng had gone mad.
He is an idol in the hearts of countless people and represents the spiritual pillar of all federal researchers and scientific research enthusiasts around the world.
How much impact will this statement have on his reputation?
Even more critically, as the deputy commander, he took on the responsibility without hesitation. What about the commander-in-chief, Tali? Where would he be placed?
According to the unspoken rules of officialdom, Tali could only respond with a more sincere performance, otherwise he would be condemned by everyone.
The deputy commander is in this state? And you, the commander-in-chief, can still just sit idly by and say it's none of your business?
If it were someone who had been immersed in officialdom for decades, they would definitely harbor resentment and be dissatisfied from every angle.
However, instead of being angry, Tali's gaze towards Jiang Cheng became even more serious. After spending some time together, he understood very well that Jiang Cheng, this god of the scientific research world, was not the kind of person without emotional intelligence. There was only one possibility for his actions.
Jiang Cheng felt genuinely guilty! And in order to make amends and maintain morale, he did everything in his power.
He truly wanted to overcome this difficulty, completely disregarding the opinions of others.
When faced with a greater cause, all those trivial matters are useless!
He no longer cared about reputation, face, or the ways of officialdom!
Good! You're a man!
Tali stood up, his iron-willed face coldly sweeping over everyone. "At that time, I will personally issue a statement with Commander Jiang and apologize to the families of the Arctic researchers!"
This time, it was You Lixuan's turn to be dumbfounded.
He held this position for so many years, rising from a leader in a small city to Kyoto, and then being promoted to the Federation, his status skyrocketing.
It's no exaggeration to say that he's adept at navigating social circles and making friends with everyone.
