Chapter 259: Chapter 195 Major Factors, Newborn Chu He
“Whooooa…!”
Once the intercontinental missile on the screen disappeared, the entire classroom of students erupted.
“What happened? The intercontinental missile disappeared?”
“A space-based skill?”
“Who exactly is that alien powerhouse, so formidable? They must at least be an epic level powerhouse…”
Within the classroom, Zheng Cheng’s gaze also held some surprise.
That was an intercontinental missile!
Upon launch, it could destroy an entire city, the ultimate weapon capable of slaughtering tens to hundreds of millions of lives.
And it just simply disappeared?
Bai Bin’s voice continued, “You all saw it, right? This is the true terror of professionists.”
“The alien powerhouse who appeared in the video during the early stages of the Great Cataclysm is known as White Night, an epic-level powerhouse of the Spirit Demon Clan named White Night!”
“White Night?”
“The Spirit Demon Clan?!”
Zheng Cheng’s gaze flickered as he recalled the content of his history class on the day of his professional awakening.
“In AD 2357, the first fragment from another world impacted Blue Star and merged with it.”
“The Spirit Demon Tribe within the fragment from another world burst into Blue Star, massively slaughtering humans, and using human flesh and blood to conduct rituals, transmitted worldwide coordinates within the starry sea to guide their subsequent tribes into Blue Star!”
“That same year, the Eagle Nation launched thirteen nuclear bombs in a row, wiping out most of the Spirit Demon Clan…”
Today, most of the Spirit Demon Clan’s world has already merged with Blue Star, and the Spirit Demon Clan is indeed the great enemy to the Human Race!
They occupy a portion of Blue Star territory, separated by an infinite sea, and warfare often breaks out between the two.
Bai Bin continued, “The original form of the Demon King White Night is the nine-star beast, Fissure Wind, who excels at space-based abilities. During the time of the Great Cataclysm, he was already an epic-level powerhouse, but now his power has already stepped into the legendary level!”
“According to our research and experiments, tri-star professionists with a level above LV69, do not fear most thermal weaponry.”
“Bullets, cannons, bombs, etc. cannot destroy their energy shields in a short period.”
“Only widespread, indiscriminate missile bombing or surprise attacks have the potential to kill them.”
“Therefore, this is also a significant reason we humans were entirely defeated during the period of the Great Cataclysm!”
“All Heavens and Thousands of Tribes, especially professionists, are all singular living beings that gather the mighty powers of heaven and earth. They possess formidable psychic powers and can manipulate the elements and energy of the universe, creating disastrous energy attacks in a short period.”
“Some tribes have powerful bodies, making them immune to cannon fire, and able to survive in any harsh environment.”
Bai Bin continued, “For instance, the Lava Tribe can swim and even live in lava with temperatures reaching thousands of degrees. Could our Human Race do that?”
“There is also the Deep Sea Tribe who can dive to the depths of the sea, reaching thousands or even tens of thousands of meters. How about us humans? Even our most advanced deep-sea probes can only reach a depth of about 10,000 meters and cannot last very long.”
“There’s also the Undead Tribe, who are humanity’s natural enemy…”
Bai Bin’s words caused lively discussions among the students in the classroom.
“Energy shield?”
“So, what Teacher Bai means is that the reason for our human defeat is that the aliens are too strong!”
“That’s right, even though our thermal weapons are formidable, our bodies are too fragile. A single bullet can end our lives!”
“But we still held on! Humanity also has professionists…”
“That’s correct…”
Hearing the discussions of his students, Bai Bin secretly nodded his head.
Indeed.
The fact that the human race has survived over three centuries of assaults from All Heavens and Thousands of Tribes and currently stands off against multiple tribes across over ten battlefield territories undoubtedly illustrates the strength and tenacity of the Human Race.
What they needed now was to continue and to pass on their legacy!
Bai Bin tapped on the desk and continued, “Alright, quiet down, did anyone notice anything else while watching the footage just now?”
“The special tribes Zheng Cheng mentioned earlier, the fact that nuclear weapons cause the spatial cracks to become larger and more numerous, and the strength of the alien professionists that I mentioned, these are just three superficial factors.”
“Another essential factor, or should I say the main factor causing humanity’s thorough defeat, even bringing us on the verge of extinction, is hidden within the footage just seen!”
“The fifth…reason!”
“Did anyone notice it?”
As soon as Bai Bin’s words finished, the over twenty students present looked at each other in puzzlement.
“There’s a fifth reason?”
“Did you notice it?”
“No! Isn’t the video just showing soldiers using guns to obstruct the aliens? What other reason could there be?”
“I don’t know either, let me think carefully…”
In his seat, looking at Bai Bin’s calm face and the surrounding discussion, Zheng Cheng couldn’t help but close his eyes, recalling the images he had just seen.
“The crucial factor that almost wiped out mankind… certainly wasn’t the second video!”
“The second video only shows the strength of the Different Races. It must’ve been the first video.”
“The first video…”
Images began to appear in Zheng Cheng’s mind.
They were scenes from the first video: devastated streets, panicked survivors, smoke and flames rising to the sky, and the Beastmen Tribe indulging in slaughter!
“Streets, survivors, Beastmen… hmm?”
Suddenly, something moved in Zheng Cheng’s heart, and an image from the video froze in his mind.
It was a large group of fleeing survivors, covered in blood, carrying bags, and running frantically without a clear direction.
And on their faces… they were wearing… masks!
Like a bolt of lightning, a surge of realization ignited his eyes.
“I know, it’s…”
“Virus!”
Zheng Cheng’s words were interrupted by another voice.
All students were first silent, then collectively turned their heads towards the corner in the last row of the classroom.
There sat a thin teenager.
His hair was somewhat sparse, he wore black-rimmed glasses, and his appearance was rather ordinary.
Seeing that all the students were looking at him, especially the encouraging gaze from Bai Bin, he nodded sagely and said, “Virus.”
“These Different Races from other worlds, or to be precise, from other races that have descended onto our Blue Star through a space crack, all carry unique viruses from their planets.”
“Once they arrive on Earth, these viruses can be spread through air, blood, and contact, making avoidance practically impossible.”
“Heh~”
He chuckled lightly and said, “More than three hundred years ago on our Blue Star, especially in our Xia Country, a kind of novel about time travel was very popular. These stories often depicted modern humans going back to ancient times due to various reasons, and using their modern knowledge to dominate and kill.”
“But I just want to state that these authors have overlooked the disparity between the physical constitutions of modern people and those from ancient times, especially the common viruses modern people carry. Once transported to ancient times, these viruses could spark a large-scale plague across the country, even around the world!”
“With the fragile physical constitution of ancient people, they simply couldn’t withstand the viruses modern humans carry.”
“We are all part of the human race, so if such a horrific scenario could occur when modern humans time travel back to the ancient times, it’s not hard to imagine the level of devastation caused by the viruses carried by Different Races when they descend upon our Blue Star. It wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for these viruses to infect a few million people.”
“As for the Beastmen illustrated in the recent video, they possess such strength that the viruses they carry probably aren’t any less deadly than the bubonic plague, smallpox, or cholera.”
“Imagine, if a single world’s Different Races were capable of infecting a few million people, and there were hundreds of Different Races entering our Blue Star at the time.”
The teenager didn’t finish his sentence, but every student in the room had their expressions change.
Lowering his head to check the name on the roster, Bai Bin tapped his desk and asked,”You’re… Chu He, right? A new student from the Military Strategy major in the Support Academy?”
Chu He stood, replying, “Yes, Teacher.”
Bai Bin nodded, “Very good. Everything you just said is exactly what I wanted to address.”
He then gestured for Chu He to sit down and continued, “As our classmate Chu He mentioned, the viruses carried by the Different Races that arrived on Blue Star during the Great Catastrophe were one of the primary culprits behind mankind’s near extinction.”
“Viruses like the Blood Madness, Beast Mutation, and Poisonous Fur which are carried by the Beastmen Tribe spread via air and blood, causing infected individuals to go insane, exhibit nervous disorders, and ultimately die in mass killing sprees.”
“The Undead Virus and Ghoul Virus carried by the Undead Race also spread through the air, causing those infected to become rigid, decay, and experience respiratory failure.”
“And there were the Dazzling and Spirit Mutation Viruses carried by the Spirit Demon Clan, the Radiation Virus from The Inferior Tribe, the Fish Scale Virus from the Deep Sea Tribe, and the Innocence Virus from the Giant Tribe; all of which caused millions of deaths.”
“Against an onslaught of countless viruses, we humans were utterly defeated, nearly to the point of extinction.”
“Similarly, the viruses we humans carry did have some effect on the Different Races. However, because their constitutions are far superior to ours, they quickly overcame the diseases.”
“Thankfully, this rampant spread was curbed with the awakening of the first Professionist, the Beast Tamer.”
“Our human scientists also worked tirelessly to develop the majority of the vaccines necessary to combat these viruses from the Different Races and successfully persevered.”
“After more than three hundred years, our modern humans have developed hundreds of different resistances against various viruses.”
Suddenly, he joked, “If any of you sitting here could go back to the time of the Great Catastrophe, without doing anything but merely walking around in a crowded area, you might just cause a worldwide plague!”
Teacher Bai Bin’s words ignited another round of laughter within the classroom.
“Alright, let’s bring the topic back.”
Bai Bin clapped his hands, attracting everyone’s attention.
“The topic of today’s lesson is ‘The Practice and Application of Modern Thermal Weapons on Different Races’ battlefield’. As the world rules are different on Different Races’ battleground, the effectiveness of thermal weapons is greatly reduced.”
“However, using alchemy, formations, and special professions like ‘Gun Masters’, our human race has managed to redesign thermal weapons, allowing them to be effective against different races.”
“For example, Lord Tang Cheng, who is currently stationed outside the Alien Battlefield, is the most powerful Gun Master!”
“And a large proportion of nuclear bombs from our Blue Star are placed within a dozen different races battlegrounds, waiting to resist an invasion by the Different Races…”
