Today we can transplant limbs from insects, but tomorrow could we... arbitrarily take away other people's healthy organs?
They might even choose organs from stronger mutants or evolved beings to replace their aging and diseased parts.
What kind of world would it be if the powerful at the top could easily treat the weak as "parts depots"?
Is his heart failing?
Let's try another one!
Not strong enough arms?
Replace it with a mutated mantis's bladed arm!
If this technology gets out of control, it may not bring about the revival of humanity.
It is a darker and bloodier hell on earth than it is now!
Thinking about all this, Jiang Wu's expression became increasingly serious.
The oppressive aura he unintentionally exuded instantly turned Chen Xiaoya's face pale as she spoke excitedly.
She felt a sudden palpitation, and even breathing became difficult.
This mysterious man in front of me is terrifying!
Jiang Wu didn't look at her, but stared at the insect woman, asking in a cold voice:
"Have you considered the ethical collapse and abuse of power that researching and even promoting this technology might bring?!"
Jiang Wu emphasized the word "drawbacks" very heavily.
After a pause, Jiang Wu continued in a cold voice, "For example, if organ transplants can be performed at will, then in the eyes of those in power, those in lower positions are nothing more than their organ reserve!"
"Under such circumstances, the surviving lower-ranking individuals might be in a worse situation than they are now!"
Chen Xiaoya was stunned by the terrifying pressure, and her face turned even paler.
But she still mustered her courage and shouted, "Sir! Every technology has its advantages and disadvantages!"
"We all know this is dangerous! But if the technology we're researching succeeds, it could truly greatly enhance the overall strength of humanity!"
"Lady Insect Woman has always told us that humanity has reached the brink of life and death! In this catastrophe, zombies, mutated beasts, and mutated insects are all evolving wildly!"
"And what about us humans? Apart from a few awakened ones, most ordinary people are evolving too slowly! We are struggling on the verge of being eliminated!"
She took a deep breath, as if using all her strength, and said loudly, "We can only do our best to seize any possibility and find any way."
Even if it only increases the odds of winning by half a percent or even ten percent, it will allow more people to survive this catastrophe! To live well!
"For this reason, even if we bear the guilt, even if we are misunderstood, we will continue!"
Jiang Wu fell silent.
Chen Xiaoya's words touched him.
It turns out that the Insect Woman and her people were conducting this shocking research with this very idea in mind.
They also saw the crisis facing humanity as a whole.
Therefore, they are trying to use this almost taboo method to forcibly open up a completely different path for humanity.
They were unaware of the strength of China's revival, and even less aware that Jiang Wu possessed a super-powerful bug like the system.
They are simply doing what they believe is right and necessary within the limits of their own knowledge and abilities.
In a sense.
Their initial intentions were no different from his goal of expanding his power and protecting more compatriots.
The methods used were simply too extreme.
And it could ultimately lead to unpredictable consequences.
Jiang Wu looked at the Insect Woman again.
The coldness in his eyes had mostly dissipated, becoming much softer.
Seeing that the insect woman remained indifferent, Jiang Wu couldn't help but ask, "Since you have such ambitions, why don't you cherish your own life? If I hadn't stopped just now, you would be dead."
The insect woman also looked at Jiang Wu.
She gently stroked the glaring bruises on her neck and asked indifferently, "How do you know I don't cherish my own life?"
She paused, then calmly said, "Faced with someone as powerful as you, how could I possibly resist?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wu's lips twitched involuntarily.
What she said...
That makes so much sense!
Faced with an absolute disparity in strength, any scheme or resistance is futile!
Judging from her words, it's not that she doesn't cherish life.
Instead of taking any action against her, she chose the easiest and most suitable way to deal with the situation, which was also in line with her personality.
They coldly endured it, not even bothering to offer a word of explanation.
So be it...
This calm, almost cold rationality left Jiang Wu speechless, but also gave him a deeper understanding of the Insect Woman.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Wu said calmly, "Take me to see your research lab... then."
His tone also softened.
Instead of being as assertive as before.
The insect woman gave Jiang Wu a deep look.
He then turned away indifferently, looking at the white wall on one side of the cave covered with thick cobwebs.
There, four mutated giant spiders, each six or seven meters long, stood silently guarding the area.
They have been guarding that place all along.
Even when the insect women were subdued, they only let out angry hissing at Jiang Wu, but they never moved an inch.
Their shells are darker in color, and their legs are more robust, making them appear exceptionally sharp.
"Come with me."
The insect woman coldly uttered three words, then walked towards the wall.
Jiang Wu followed immediately.
When the guarding spiders saw the insect woman approaching, they all made way for her.
The insect woman walked to the wall and raised her hand.
One of the guard spiders immediately went up.
With its sharp forelimbs, it began to carefully pry open the spider web covering the wall.
Its movements were very skillful, as if it were unwrapping a carefully wrapped gift.
Thick, sticky white spider webs were peeled off, layer after layer.
At least a hundred layers were peeled off.
As the last few layers of spiderweb were cleared away, a passageway about 2.5 meters high and 2 meters wide was fully revealed.
Jiang Wu looked into the passage and his eyes lit up.
This passageway is quite different from the surrounding naturally formed caves; its edges are regular, clearly indicating that it was man-made!
The passage is not long, only five or six meters deep.
On the other side of the passage, there was clearly a large space!
Moreover, the walls of this large space are no longer covered with countless cobwebs.
Instead, it was a dull gray cement wall.
Jiang Wu could even see the exposed, somewhat rusted steel reinforcement structure on these cement walls!
The fortifications here are probably several decades old!
More importantly, it was emitting a stable and familiar white light!
This is an electric light!
Moreover, judging from the reinforced concrete structure and lighting, it is extremely similar to the underground shelters he had visited before, whether built by the government or private authorities!
Moreover, faint voices could be heard coming from inside!
There are quite a few people here!
This is yet another underground shelter!
All of this seemed so jarring deep within the spider nest, filled with mutated spiders and spider webs!
That's so precious!
