Chapter 186 Beam
Alex continued watching the video with a strange look in his eyes.
In the video, the first white mouse didn't stop biting the newly placed white mouse until it finally lost its breath.
Once it felt that the other white mouse had died, the first white mouse finally let it go and started walking around the glass container with a listless look.
Thinking that this is the end of it, Alex raised his head and looked at Glen.
He was just about to say a few things when he saw that Glen gestured for him to continue watching.
With an unclear look, Alex turned his attention back to the video.
It was then that it happened.
Inside the glass container, the other white mouse that was killed by the zombie suddenly showed signs of movements.
Twitch!
At first its small forelegs twitching.
Then after a while, it opened its eyes.
However, those pairs of eyes are no longer like before.
Just like the first white mouse, its eyes are now pure black as if it was the abyss itself.
It was fierce, as fierce as a wild beast and also full of mania.
The white mouse got up from the ground and soon started acting similar to the first white mouse.
Alex looked at all of this with a frown and seemed to see something even more frightening than the previous virus that caused a lot of casualties.
"A zombie virus…" He muttered.
On the side, Glen heard his word and nodded,
"That's right. This scene is very much similar to those zombie movies that we usually watch for entertainment, isn't it?"
On Glen's face, you can see how serious his expression is.
Then, Glen took back the tablet and faced Alex.
"Alex, as you already saw, the virus from the Corruptor's corpse is nothing to disregard."
"In the face of this virus, it's not wrong to say that it can pose a threat to our world's safety!"
Alex listened to Glen and nodded from time to time.
Then he looked Glen directly in the eyes and solemnly said,
"Then, please tell me how I can help. Please tell me the purpose of you calling me here."
Hearing Alex's words, Glen can't help but nod in satisfaction.
On the side, the other people in the office also develop some good impressions of Alex because of his attitude.
Maybe it was also because of Alex's high charisma that they immediately felt good about him.
Anyway, Glen finally got down to business.
Looking at young man in front of him who seems to be full of heroic spirit, Glen solemnly asked,
"Alex, since you're the first one to respond to the Corruptor's appearance and also the one who took it down, let me ask you, did that monster come into contact with any other organism?"
Right now, this is what Glen wants to know the most.
Since this is also a crucial aspect that needs to be studied in order for them to learn if there's a possibility that the virus is already active in the outside world.
Everyone in this office hopes that the answer that they will hear from Alex is a denial.
With that, they will be able to breathe a sigh of relief and relax their nerves.
Unfortunately, the answer that came out of Alex's mouth was the opposite of what they all wanted.
With a guilty face, Alex said, "... Mr. Glen, the Corruptor has indeed come into contact with other organisms yesterday."
Alex is of course talking about the bunch of pests from yesterday that suddenly appeared around the Corruptor's corpse.
At that time, Alex didn't really care about any of them.
He thought that it was only a natural event and it's nothing to worry about.
But now, Alex can't help but feel a tinge of regret.
'If only I didn't leave the corpse alone… maybe there would be nothing for us to worry about.' he silently thought.
On the other hand, when Glen heard the answer from Alex, he became dejected.
It was not him, everyone else in the room also felt the same way.
One of them, a man wearing glasses and a lab coat suddenly spoke up,
"Boss, this is dangerous! What are we going to do now?"
That man is Luke, one of the scientists that is working for the CPS.
From his voice, anyone can hear the distress that he's feeling.
Hearing that, Glen also knows that they need to immediately start taking actions.
He turned his eyes towards another person in the office.
A woman with blonde hair, wearing a black sando and a camouflage pants, she looks like a strong person.
With a voice full of authority, Glen ordered, "Belle, immediately form a team of people with strong detection skills and start looking for anyone who's infected with the virus."
. ..
"I am Paula Leonel, daughter of the great general, Borong Leonel!"
Paula spoke in an awe-inspiring way, in hopes that she can amaze Alex.
That way, she can have an advantage later when they start talking.
However, when she took a peek at Alex's reaction, she just saw him staring back at her with a blank look.
Paula staggered, then she said, "Don't you feel amazed or anything?"
"Huh?" Alex tilted his head slightly and confusedly said, "Is there anything amazing about what you just said?"
Paula almost fell down to the ground after hearing Alex's words.
Her father, Borong Leonel, is a great general of the Kyisis Kingdom.
Borong Leonel, a great general who managed to defend the border of Kyisis Kingdom from the invasion of an enemy kingdom, all on his own!
And this is not just a one time thing.
Borong Leonel has done this again and because of that, he even acquired the title, One Man Fortress!
As a general, he had countless achievements and was known throughout the whole Kyisis kingdom.
Even those neighboring kingdoms knew of his name and some even feared it!
Now, seeing Alex's nonchalant attitude, Paula can't help but ask, "You, don't you know anything about my father?"
At her sudden question, Alex frowned, "Your father? You said his name is Borong Leonel, right? What's the matter with it?"
Paula looked at Alex speechlessly.
"I can't believe that there's someone living in Kyisis Kingdom but don't know of my father." She murmured.
Paula digested this shocking information in her for a while before she got rid of it in her mind.
Shaking her head, she decided to forget about getting an advantage and said, "Okay, fine, if you don't know my father, just forget it."
Paula's expression suddenly became serious and said, "Let's talk about the thing that we want to request from you."
Paula snapped her finger and suddenly, a golden cup appeared in her hand with unknown liquid in it.
When that golden cup appeared, Ferri and Blaze outside the hut suddenly felt some pressure pressing upon them.
They looked at each other, confirming that they both felt it before turning their eyes on the hut.
…
When Alex saw the golden appear, he immediately became more curious.
He pricked up his ears and listened intently.
Paula opened her mouth and said, "What we want to ask from you is actually a simple thing that can even bring you benefit."
Hearing that, Alex's curiosity heightened.
Seeing that, Paula raised the cup in her hand slightly and continued, "Inside this cup, there is a very precious material that could only be obtained from the body of dragons."
"However, not every dragon has this in them. Only a few pureblood dragons possess this."
"This is… Pureblood Dragon's Essence Blood."
When she said that, Paula moved the cup closer to Alex to let him see it.
Peeking inside the cup, Alex saw glowing golden blood, full of magnificence that couldn't even be explained with words.
The golden blood possesses brilliance that looks more precious than any gem to exist!
Alex stared at it for a while with fascinated eyes.
After paying their bill, Alex and the kids left the restaurant.
But before they left, Alex made sure to ask Chichi where he could find the owners of Dragon Diner.
Walking out of Riveria restaurant, Alex and the kids headed to the stables where Ferri and Blaze are resting.
By the way, Alex also ordered food for them earlier so while they are eating inside, Ferri and Blaze are also doing the same.
When they arrive at the stable, Ferri and Blaze are also done eating.
Feeling the presence of Alex and the kids approaching, the two monsters already got while looking in the direction where Alex and the kids are coming from.
When Alex saw the two, he waved and said, "Hey, Ferri and Blaze, did you guys like the food?
Ferri nodded humanely and barked, "Woof, woof!"
On the other hand, Blaze looks nonchalant as he nodded indifferently.
"Well, that's good." Alex said, "Then let's get out of here. We still have somewhere we need to go right now.
