Chapter 367 No Resistance
After a long silence, Situ Yan said, "I remember your report mentioned that you suspected it was a species from outer space..."
“Yes.” Yan San nodded slowly. He mentioned this in his report, but did not mention that it was Xi Yu who provided the clue.
Not everyone believes this speculation. After all, the giant mantis only appeared for a minute in Xi Yu's assessment video, and to most people it looked more like a genetically mutated insect. In a world where mutated species exist, it's not hard to understand the existence of giant insects.
“If what you say is true… then it is a terrible omen for this world.” Situ Yan’s voice deepened.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, are you saying that this mutated insect wasn't developed by the Bailan Kingdom?" Luo Hongyuan couldn't help but interject. The crucial evidence he almost lost his life to bring back wasn't from the Bailan Kingdom.
“No, that’s not it. I estimate that Bailan Kingdom is indeed researching mutant species, just like Grei Kingdom. It’s just that Bailan Kingdom was lucky enough to obtain a bug that had been infected by the saliva of an insect beast, and then they injected the mutant virus into the bug’s body,” Xi Yu said after thinking for a moment.
"The formation of this mutated worm was accidental. If it hadn't been infected before, I think the original worm wouldn't have been able to withstand the virus's invasion. I'm afraid the research institute in Bailan only has this one mutated worm?"
Luo Hongyuan nodded repeatedly: "We really didn't see any other mutated insects!"
Xi Yu spread out her palms: "So what you should be worried about is not that the Allied Powers can create mutant insects... but whether they have also discovered the secret of the insect beasts."
Insect and beast eggs are appearing in the counties and valleys of the Empire, so how do you know the Allies haven't?
If the Allied powers had killed all the discovered insect eggs and insect beasts, that would have been fine. But if they had spared even one or two and allowed them to hatch, that would have been the beginning of a disaster.
This is such a headache!
Xi Yu wondered to herself how she had transmigrated to this chaotic time, with all sorts of major events happening one after another!
It seems that mecha research really needs to be accelerated. Energy weapons alone are not enough to deal with a large number of insectoid beasts. Without powerful mechas, we might as well give up and go to sleep.
Unfortunately, people of this era had never witnessed the terror of the Zerg, so even if Xi Yu spoke of it in a serious manner, they wouldn't take it too seriously.
“We will send more people to monitor the Allied countries. If they can create a mutated insect, it’s not impossible that they might create a giant insect in the future.” Fu Baili had learned about the terrifying nature of insect beasts from Yan San, so he preferred to be cautious rather than careless.
While everyone continued discussing the mutated insects, Xi Yu's thoughts had already drifted to what kind of metal to choose for nourishment. She was eager to refine the primordial metal to make the skeleton of the mecha.
……
Xi Yu carried a box containing about a hundred metal samples that she had obtained from Dr. Qi back to her dormitory at the research institute.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw an uninvited guest sitting on her bed.
Instinctively, Xi Yu took a step back, glancing at the room number plate outside the door to confirm that this was indeed her room.
"You've come to the wrong room." Xi Yu pointed to the next room and told Yan San to leave.
Yan San smiled and said, "I didn't go to the wrong place. I came to find you. Don't worry, I won't resist."
Who cares if you resist or not!
Xi Yu glared at him angrily, slammed the door shut, and slammed the box down on the table.
