Chapter 361 Deep Virtual Reality 189
Zhan Lin also saw the news announcement on the large screen of the building outside. After turning her gaze away from Xie Ning's back, she saw Zong Ren waiting at the door. "Is the statement taken?"
"Yes, Ms. Xie is very cooperative. If it weren't for her, many examinees would probably have been injured or even died. I didn't expect that Ms. Xie, who was so gentle and weak before, would be so powerful after awakening her superpower."
The black leech was very fast. If she hadn't reacted quickly and frozen all the larvae that had detached from the parasite in such a short time, those larvae would probably have parasitized new hosts.
Such alien creatures are difficult to detect and defend against.
As Zong Ren spoke, he followed Zhan Lin toward the elevator.
"Haha, Ning is not only powerful in terms of superpowers now, but she is also very skilled in martial arts. She can achieve an A rating in the virtual training room test."
Upon hearing this, Zong Ren also showed an expression of admiration, but when it came to the rating, he said, "I remember your rating was S, right?"
Zhan Lin nodded. "How can you compare? I've had specialized training, while Ning is a self-taught practitioner..."
The two chatted along the way, and Zhan Lin asked about the origin of the black blood leeches.
"Found it." Zong Ren's face tightened, his tone somewhat sullen. "Do you know about the biomaterials processing plant in Moonshadow Bay?"
"You know where he lives?"
Zong Ren nodded.
Moonshadow Bay's biomaterials processing plant used to be the largest in the entire Federation, and many companies purchased their materials from them.
However, an accident occurred more than 20 years ago, causing microbial contamination, which led to the area being sealed off until now.
Although it's called a lockdown, there are still people living there. After all, it's such a large factory with very complete facilities, and they can't possibly send people to patrol 24 hours a day and prohibit outsiders from entering.
As a result, some people secretly moved in, and gradually, more and more people moved in, and it became a huge slum.
After the discovery, the authorities turned a blind eye, reasoning that if the rats had a habitat, they wouldn't roam freely in the clean city.
“I’m going there tomorrow to assist with the investigation, and you should be leading a team there too.” Zong Ren lowered his voice as he spoke, “I heard that the higher-ups intend to relocate all the residents there, but there’s been opposition…”
The two exchanged a glance, both understanding why.
Indeed, some officials who genuinely care about the residents have offered suggestions to relocate them to a better place. After all, the pollution in the factory area is too severe; even after so many years, a test by instruments would reveal that it is substandard without even looking at it.
One can only imagine the physical condition of the people living there.
Another group that agreed with this suggestion did so for the sake of public opinion. After all, everyone wants to look good on the surface, and with the incident of a candidate being parasitized by black leeches, who can guarantee that the others in the case are not at fault?
Therefore, for everyone's safety, it's best to conduct a comprehensive check and then send everyone far away.
Others who disagree are motivated by self-interest. Doesn't relocating residents cost money? Examines and treatments for the residents cost money, and funds are needed everywhere. Nobody is willing to spend that money, and no place is willing to accept so many people.
There are tens of thousands of people, not just a dozen or twenty.
