Chapter 494: Research (2/2)
”Yes. It's enough for me. I can strengthen my influence with this.” She smiled and pointed at the left picture. ”This one is the inhumane research. In fact, all these three pictures are related to each other, and we can split them into three attacks.
”Due to the deformity appearing on the first research, they are trying to see whether they can turn the monsters into humans again by using human's flesh and blood. I don't understand what's the logic behind it, but all I need to see is that it's inhumane and cruel that needs to be punished.”
Kai agreed with this one. ”Do you have the location of this research?”
”Not at the moment. We've sent all spies to search for them, but they all died mysteriously. The only one we have is our double agent, but all people inside the research facility can't see nor hear anything to enter the facility, so we don't have someone that can give you the location. Though if you see this half-human half-monster, I believe they will tell you about the facility.”
”Then, it means I need to attack the prime minister.” Kai contemplated for a moment. ”You will need to pressure him first.”
”Of course. Before that, let's continue with the topic. The third one is the chemical that turns them into this. As you know, this chemical is mixed with a magical beast's blood and they're planning to release it to the outside, turning the world into chaos. I don't understand why he wants it…”
”You just need to know that someone wants humanity to go extinct.” Kai shrugged, telling her a part of the mermaid's mission.
”Hmm…” Marsha could see the complexity of this movement, but she understood that Kai wouldn't say anything regarding this matter.
”Taking the bad apple out won't solve the problem. It'll just make another one appear… That's why I want a solution that can prevent this kind of research from appearing again.”
”Does this mean the US Base wants the monopoly of this technology?” Marsha smirked as if indirectly mocking him. ”We can reveal to the public that the US Base has one too, you know. I wonder what they will think if their greatest genius is the first subject…”
”It won't affect me, but it will surely make people hate my teacher… No matter how hard I defend her.”
She slightly raised her eyebrows when Kai said it won't affect him. Kai seemed to have another solution to deal with the problem.
”How about this? I would like future cooperation with the zodiac project just like this exchange program. At the same time, we will share the exoskeleton technology…”
”That's not something I can decide. I need to talk with the US Base first.” Kai shook his head.
”Besides, I think no matter how good the effect it will bring to humanity, this Zodiac Project won't be accepted by humanity as a whole. After all, it means that you're abandoning humanity too.”
”That's what amused me. Politics surely do have a way, right?” Kai smirked, knowing that everything could be solved if they played the card right.
”…” The girl closed her eyes and shrugged. She knew there was a way to dilute the information if they had some desired effect. They could simply choose a few elites like their exoskeleton and turn them into elite soldiers.
With the cure that could turn back the people who had been affected, the fatality rate would go down drastically. They might even be able to mitigate the entire fatality rate in the near future. And if they used Kai as the publicity, there would be many people storming the government to become one.
In the end, she let out a long sigh and said, ”It seems both of us need a break.”
