The third email—
"We caught him, and when we found him, he was still eating people! My God, the thing we least wanted to happen has finally happened..."
“He has completely degenerated into a monster! His eyes are filled with bloodlust, he has lost his own thoughts, and he is completely inhuman.”
"His eyes were shining, eyes of hunger and longing. He was no longer human!"
"He frantically tore at human bodies and ate their internal organs. We tried everything to subdue him, but he struggled wildly and injured us. We dared not touch him; he had lost his humanity and was a terrifying monster."
“His body has grown larger, his skin has become thicker, and he has become increasingly ugly. We can’t let him stay any longer; we must get rid of him immediately.”
“We have found a solution to his problem. We have found a medicine that can suppress the spread of his virus, but we must bring him back to base immediately.”
"He's completely out of control; his mind is utterly twisted. We must bring him back to base and hand him over to the organization. I think those big shots will definitely be able to help us solve this problem!"
"We're already on our way, and we'll reach that area of the sea soon!"
The fourth email.
"We've safely returned to base, and we've even come up with a special treatment method, but we're not confident we can cure him. His body is filled with extremely potent toxins that would make a person lose their humanity, and he wouldn't feel pain. Our people died during the experiments, and our research has stalled, making no progress whatsoever."
"But we are still unwilling to give up, and we are looking for a better solution. I believe that we will definitely find a solution."
Fifth letter—
"Our scientists have finally succeeded in their research. We have finally discovered that there is a certain connection between humans. Hidden within the human body is a wondrous genetic organization called mutated cells. We have thoroughly studied this bacterium and discovered that it has a cell located in the human brain. A mutated cell is hidden within the human brain! We believe that if we utilize this cell, we can create another kind of mutation in humans, altering their genetic structure. The human genetic structure will split again, creating new humans. However, at the same time, this split will cause fear within humans, driving them insane and even leading to cannibalism!"
"I think this is a genetic defect in humanity. There's a huge flaw in our genes, and this flaw will affect everything about us, including our bodies. I believe this flaw is the mutated cells! The mutated cells will devour their brains and their memories, turning them into mindless monsters. This is a dangerous experiment, and we need to find a solution to nip it in the bud!"
"We need a better solution, which is to inject these mutated cells into the human body so that they resonate with the body, thereby minimizing the potential harm of these mutated cells."
"However, this mutated cell is a very advanced mutated cell. It absorbs other people's blood and converts their blood into its own. In that case, we have no way of controlling this cell."
"The mutated cells absorb nutrients from the host's body, thus growing into a gigantic monster. I guess this is what the monster truly looks like?"
The sixth email—
"The experiment has been forced to stop. Humanity can no longer accept this experiment. The risk level of this experiment is too high, enough to destroy a city, and it is simply out of control. Humanity cannot stay here any longer; we must leave immediately."
There were six emails in total, and that was all the information this computer had.
After reading it, all three fell silent.
After a long silence, Zero spoke:
"Presumably, the monster that appeared here is the kind of human that was mutated due to a genetic virus, as mentioned in the email..."
Jiang Quan and He Dong both nodded upon hearing this. After a long while, He Dong sighed and said:
"I never imagined the monster's origins were so complicated, with so many things happening along the way..."
After a brief silence among the three, Jiang Quan spoke first:
"What should we do now? Should we go out or search further in...? But now that everyone has seen the monster, it's going to be very difficult to deal with..."
He Dong hurriedly nodded in agreement:
"That's right, that monster is not something an ordinary person can handle. Our team members are all spiritual cultivators, and we still couldn't defeat it. We were even torn apart..."
"And...didn't you see what the email said? The monster had clearly been taken to their base, but look what happened...it appeared here...what does that mean?"
"First, the monsters might have escaped, although this is less likely. Second, new monsters might have emerged, and those people might have encountered these new monsters!"
Zero sighed:
"Unfortunately... there are only a few sentences about the gene virus on the computer."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Quan whispered:
"Those must be secrets from their base; they certainly wouldn't just reveal them like that."
He Dong continued:
"Yes, if they were able to leak this information, they certainly wouldn't have done so so easily. Or maybe... the monster our team encountered was actually just an experimental subject they were cultivating."
Upon hearing this, both Ling and Jiang were deeply shaken.
Zero nodded and said:
"This is a very likely guess. The email mentioned that they had conducted research on mutated cells, and those research subjects were humans! They wanted to improve human genes through genetic modification, making them new humans, but they couldn't eradicate the genetic mutations caused by the mutated cells. They could only achieve this goal through some special methods!"
After saying that, Zero suddenly turned his gaze to Jiang Quan. As far as he knew, the organization behind Jiang Quan was actually similar to these organizations that carried out human mutations, or even more terrifying!
On one hand, they are researching genetic viruses, and on the other hand, they are directly experimenting on humans and monsters!
Jiang Quan felt miserable under Ling's gaze.
He knew that the things his organization was doing were extremely harmful to the human world, but he had no choice and was powerless to stop them...
Shaking his head and giving a wry smile, Jiang Quan said:
“Let’s leave here. I’ll send the relevant information to the higher-ups. He Dong, you should go back and rest.”
He Dong nodded and was about to leave when Ling called him back:
"etc!"
Zero interrupted:
“There are still demons up there, so we can’t leave. We used noise to make it leave before, but it has definitely gone back now. And it’s obviously impossible to attract its attention with noise again. So we can’t just go up like this.”
