Currently, the precision of Chen Chen's Field energy had improved by leaps and bounds compared to three years ago. Once he could only magnify reality up to three hundred times, barely seeing the presence of bacteria, but now, his control over Field's precision had been amplified by more than a thousand times. He could perceive many microbes by Field energy and those bacteria were like ants in his perception. If he wanted to, he could observe them down to every detail.
At this level, Chen Chen could already easily perceive the fine dust and microorganisms all over his body with the help of his Field. When he used Field to scan a person's face, if he wanted to, he could see every hair and pore of the other party.
More than that, in his perception, the mites and various parasites in human pores were as conspicuous as a cockroach lying on one's face…
In the beginning, Chen Chen was a little uncomfortable, but after such a long time, he had gradually adapted to it. In his eyes, the world was completely different from the world in the eyes of ordinary people. Even his aesthetic taste had diverged greatly from normal human beings.
Now, Chen Chen with his eyes closed suddenly frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
At the end of the quiet room, a red light lit up on the intercom next to the door for entering and exiting — this was a sign that Little X had to notify him of something.
As the quiet room should be kept as quiet as possible, Chen Chen would take off the headset, which he used to communicate with Little X, every time he trained. Only in certain emergencies, Little X would call him through the red light on the door.
Now that the light was on, it meant that Little X had something important to tell him.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen slowly stood up. He took a step forward and suddenly, his entire body had crossed a distance of more than fifty meters with a "whoosh" and came to the door.
Then, Chen Chen just glanced at the red light and suddenly, the button next to the red light automatically sank in and turned green.
"Sir Godfather, the conference application initiated by two 'supervisors' has been set in motion. The 'Lilith Assembly' will begin in ten minutes. If you don't participate, you'll automatically be deemed to have abstained."
Little X's voice came from the intercom. "Are you going to participate in this 'Lilith Assembly'?"
"Of course."
Chen Chen nodded. He closed his eyes slightly, tucked away the Field energy in his mind, and immediately opened the door in front of him.
Suddenly, what appeared in front of Chen Chen was a standard teleportation room with a black ball.
Immediately afterward, the black ball emitted a faint blue light shining on Chen Chen's body. From Chen Chen's perspective, he could only feel the blue light flash before his eyes and then the blue light disappeared again without a trace.
However, the instant this blue light flashed past, it represented Chen Chen's displacement in space. At this time, he had already returned to the Spire Experimental Base.
Indeed, the quiet room used for training Field energy was not in the Spire or even within the scope of Namibia. In all of Blacklight Biotechnology, apart from Chen Chen and Little X, no one knew where the quiet room was.
After returning to the Spire, Chen Chen walked directly into a conference room with a huge table. This conference room did not have any decorations and was only painted with white wall paint. It was kept in its most original state. The only symbol indicating that it was a meeting room was the huge round table and the five luxurious chairs.
After sitting on one of the chairs, Chen Chen said, "I'm ready", and then there was a glimmer before his eyes!
The environmental holographic simulator located in the four corners of the room suddenly activated. Chen Chen's vision seemed to turn blurry. When it cleared up again, he realized that he had appeared in a luxurious meeting room.
Furthermore, four people were seated in the other four chairs in the conference room, but these four people were all dark shadows. Not only were their faces obscured, one could not even tell their gender or body size.
The only thing that set each one apart was the number plate on the conference table in front of everyone. From Chen Chen's perspective, the numbers of the four people at the conference table were 01 to 04.
Chen Chen himself was the same. He had been completely transformed into a black humanoid figure, and in front of him, the 05 plate was placed.
"Very well, the last supervisor has arrived. In that case, our conference can begin."
Seeing Chen Chen appearing in his seat, the black shadow sitting opposite Chen Chen immediately spoke, but his voice seemed to have been processed, and there was an electronic buzz to it that made people unable to tell who he was.
"Let's start."
Chen Chen nodded and chuckled lightly. "I heard that two supervisors have jointly initiated this conference. Did they find any important clues?"
"Of course, otherwise we will not initiate this Lilith Assembly."
One of the supervisors replied. There was a 01 number in front of his position. "I believe you should all have noticed. In the past few days, a series of weird videos have appeared on the YouTube channel. I believe everyone has noticed the huge light spot rising above the sea?"
Chen Chen nodded when he heard these words.
"At first, no one cared about it, but then I gradually realized something was wrong, because there were people who have even gone to see the light spot in person, and there were rumors that it was a space wormhole."
01 continued. "So for insurance, I personally sent someone to check it out and they found the weird light spot. As far as I know, the spot has the ability to swallow objects. So I contacted 04 and then communicated with Mauritius through the Earth Federation, sealed off the port there, and interfered with public discussion online, finally suppressing the incident."
"Good job."
Chen Chen clapped his hands. "Then what exactly is that spot, 01, have you found out?"
"Not for now. After all, the incident happened suddenly. 04 and I are now jointly launching this meeting to discuss a countermeasure, not only to study what the light spot is, but also to keep it a secret from the outside world and prevent the information from ever getting out."
Chapter 497: Let the World Experience Pain |
"I agree that we should examine that light spot."
Hearing 01's words, Chen Chen agreed. "This kind of thing doesn't require voting, just let our subordinates execute this. After all, investigating the unknown is indeed our Blacklight Foundation's responsibility and obligation."
"I agree."
02 and 03 on the side expressed their stance as well.
"But the problem now is that we need to cooperate with the Mauritian government, but they didn't join the Blacklight Foundation Agreement."
At this moment, 01 suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Chen. "Our foundation isn't established yet. Many countries and continents haven't yet joined the Blacklight Foundation Agreement. If we send a task force for investigation and Mauritius obstructs us, what do we do? Surely we can't possibly communicate with Mauritius using our original identities, right?"
Chen Chen leaned back in his chair speechlessly.
It must be said that this was one flaw of a power-sharing assembly. To borrow the names of the four continents and at the same time closely unite the four continents, Chen Chen had invested quite a lot.
Now he had indeed borrowed the power of the four continents, but it felt like they were working against a conflict of interests. This new organization would take more than just a day or two to run smoothly.
Without any alternative, Chen Chen had to say, "01, your mindset is wrong."
"Oh?"
01 raised his head somewhat unexpectedly in surprise.
"Our foundation is indeed just in its infancy. Both funds and manpower are seriously inadequate."
Chen Chen spread his hands and said sternly, "Moreover, the Blacklight Foundation is more like an extension
of the authority of the four continents. It's a truly international military organization. I don't think the four continents and Blacklight Biotechnology are completely separate forces. We should be more like a family…"
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.
"I know that your identities are all inextricably linked to the institutions behind you, but have you ever considered that your positions have a time limit? What if that limit is up?"
Chen Chen said patiently and earnestly, "The Blacklight Foundation is different. The positions of us supervisors hold real power. After your presidential term is over, if there's still this layer of real power shrouding you, is it not a kind of more generous political bargaining chip?
"So, I think that the four continents should establish a department that can liaise with the Blacklight Foundation. Even in some countries that haven't signed the Blacklight Foundation Agreement, we can successfully get the Blacklight Foundation to run its mission locally through the procedures of that liaising department. After all, some crises cannot be alleviated."
After saying all this, Chen Chen looked at everyone sincerely.
"Not a bad idea at all…"
After a short silence, 03 suddenly spoke slowly, "Although I'm not the 'person' you think of, I can indeed represent 'his' interest, but on the condition that… The Blacklight Foundation must be truly empowering."
"Yes, it's difficult to increase the number of departments in vain and it's difficult to get our Congress to approve. After all, in the Northern… In our continent, my word isn't the law."
01 also echoed. "But 05's idea is very good and it can be discussed further. As for now, since 05 has said this, then I'm willing to contact the Mauritian government in a public capacity and ask them to authorize and cooperate with the task force of our Blacklight Foundation for now."
"Me too."
"Seconded…"
"Seconded!"
Everyone expressed their stance.
As such, the first operation meeting of the Blacklight Foundation came to an end in such a discussion.
Then, everyone's figures flashed and disappeared in their respective positions.
Chen Chen was the last to leave the venue. After he left the holographic conference, he leaned back on the chair with a gloomy expression, rubbing his temples and pondering silently.
"Sir Godfather, don't worry. After all, this is only the first meeting, the foundation still needs a little practice…"
Little X comforted him. "Please don't take it to heart."
"I understand."
Chen Chen nodded. "I had predicted this situation a long time ago, but I have become accustomed to my autocratic rule in Blacklight Biotechnology, so I'm still a little miffed with this kind of red tape…"
"But you need to assume the name of the four continents."
Little X said helplessly, "Otherwise, it's impossible for the Blacklight Foundation to become a legal military department of the Earth Federation and gain unimpeded access anywhere in the world. Moreover, they haven't experienced any crisis, after all, so they're unlikely to take the Blacklight Foundation seriously."
"So, we must highlight the role of the foundation!"
Chen Chen suddenly chuckled. "Only when you have experienced war can you understand the preciousness of peace; only when you have suffered humiliation can you understand the truth of might; only when you have experienced pain can you be treated with tenderness. This is the root of human weakness…"
As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Chen Chen's eyes. He crossed his hands on the table and muttered in a low voice, "So, it's time for the world to experience pain…"
…
The Indian Ocean nights in June were often calm.
On this day, several patrol boats cruised on the high seas somewhere in the Indian Ocean. This area was calm and without waves, but as the sun went down, a strange large light spot gradually emerged.
If any tourists saw it at this time, they would notice that this huge light spot was the supernatural phenomenon that had been the latest viral topic recently.
However, the video was ultimately said to be falsified by netizens. No one expected that it existed.
However, this sea area had been closed off by the waterways of various countries for various reasons. Over at least one month, no cruise ships or cargo ships would pass through this area.
These patrol boats were also marked with the flag of the African island country — Mauritius.
At this time, on the deck of one of the patrol boats, two coast guards were chatting with cigarettes in their mouths. Firelight gleamed on their faces, illuminating their cheeks, and their rough skin eroded by sea breeze could be vaguely seen.
"Jace, have you heard that a new bar on the Lynn Wharf has recently opened, it's owned by some 'bumpkin'. After our duty, how about going there to unwind?"
"Of course, but I don't know what the expenses of the new bar are like. If the price is too high, I will not go. I still like the atmosphere of the Simpson Bar."
"Come on Jace, it's not like I don't know you. It's not that you like the atmosphere of the Simpson Bar. Rather, you like the dancer Emily there?"
"Hahaha, so you've noticed…"
As the two of them laughed, suddenly, something seemed to flash past the corner of one of their eyes.
He turned his head subconsciously but saw that he was next to the huge light spot. At this time, the ship was parked in front of the light spot, which looked like a second moon, even overshadowing the misty moonlight.
"What are you looking at, Jace, haven't you seen enough of this spot after watching it for a few days?"
"No, I thought I saw something flying into the spot just now."
"Are you sure? Could it be a seabird? If there's an abnormality, we must report it."
"It's possible that my eyes were playing tricks on me…"
Both of them were not too concerned about this.
At this time, on the other side of the Rosen bridge, Chen Chen had already set foot in the land of Resident Evil again, but now, unlike the last time he came, the entire world was empty. Whether it was the wreckage of the Blackwatch Cruise or the distant buildings, all had disappeared without a trace.
Likewise, the Hive laboratory underground had vanished as well.
Chen Chen flew into the sky along the light spot, then circled once. After that, he nodded with satisfaction. After a few days, those nanomites had devoured all man-made traces within a radius of thousands of miles.
Seeing this, Chen Chen thought that it was good enough. He directly pressed the buttons of the two kill switch devices and immediately, the two groups of nanomites that had swallowed countless substances finally died and disappeared into dust on the ground.
However, Chen Chen did more than just this. He flew over the pit where the Hive had once been and suddenly took out a few transparent Petri dishes.
These Petri dishes were only the size of a palm and were transparent throughout, but what was strange was that in each of these Petri dishes, there was a lump of something that looked like meat. These lumps of meat were red all over and they pulsated slowly in the petri dish as if breathing. At the same time, one could even see the dense cloak of tentacles extending around the meat…
This appearance was disgusting. When any normal person saw this mass of flesh and blood, they would experience an inexplicable heart palpitation and even suspect that this must have come from hell.
At this time, Chen Chen used Field to open the lid of the first petri dish and threw the weird lump of meat together with the petri dish, into the big pit left by the Hive.
Even so, this was not the end.
Next, Chen Chen started flying at full speed in mid-air. At this time, his flying speed was no longer inferior to the world's top fighter planes. In less than an hour, he found a vast forest and then Chen Chen threw the second petri dish…
In this way, Chen Chen spent an entire night flying to a dozen positions and even dropped Pe
tri dishes in some urban ruins.
After throwing these things throughout the night, he returned to the light spot with satisfaction and then suddenly turned around and looked at this already desolate world.
During the sowing of the "seeds", he also tried to find survivors, but perhaps because this place was close to ground zero of the outbreak, Chen Chen did not find a single survivor on the map of Northern America. He only found some traces of past survivors but the people themselves were already gone.
In addition, some zombies had been found, but the number of zombies was also very small. After all, decades had passed since the outbreak. Most of the zombies had long since disappeared and the small number of surviving zombies had lain down and entered a deep sleep state in shady areas with slower air currents.
It was only when humans passed by them during their lifetime that these zombies would be awakened again like the living dead, hot on the heels of the survivors.
There was a higher chance they would stay dormant until the last vestiges of nutrients in their body ran out and they died completely.
Long ago, Chen Chen had asked his team to experiment with the effect of T-virus.
They finally came to the conclusion: T-virus was like a program that could restart the human brain whose brain cells had not yet died and place human beings in a state of extremely low energy consumption.
In this state, the zombies could remain active for months or even years, but it depended on the environment. If the nutrition was insufficient for a long time, the zombies would also starve to death and if the zombies were injured, the wound would become inflamed and purulent. Necrosis would also occur but this process was longer than that of a living person.
As for the T-virus brain cells, this was not unscientific because in reality, scientists had carried out similar examples.
They connected a pig head that had been dead for five or six hours to a special blood delivery system. Through this device, artificial blood was pumped into the pig's brain to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the pig's brain cells. The result was —
