Listening to Lin Yu speak of exchanging items for supplies, those present were not particularly concerned.
While supplies were important, they were far less captivating than what Lin Yu had mentioned before lunch.
"We're not in a hurry for supplies. Regarding the cause of the initial zombie outbreak you mentioned before lunch..."
"Yes, we're more concerned about that. Have you found an antibody for the zombie virus?"
"I've heard about it too. Wuming City has gathered a large number of scientific researchers. You've been researching the zombie virus, and you must have achieved some results, right?
We don't intend to steal your achievements, but these are crucial for all of humanity. We hope Wuming City will consider the safety of all humankind as the priority..."
"..."
For a moment, the leaders of the various bases present kept voicing their guesses and sharing their thoughts.
Although it felt somewhat unethical to directly ask Wuming City to give up its achievements like this, this matter concerned all of humanity.
They hoped that whoever made a breakthrough in the zombie virus issue would share it with all of humankind.
Lin Yu listened for a while, and when no one else had any more to say, he spoke in a deep voice, "We have indeed been researching the cause of the zombie outbreak.
However, it hasn't reached the point you imagine. Antibodies to combat the zombie virus are not something that can be achieved through research alone."
"Then what did you mean earlier?"
"I meant that we have found the reason for the initial zombie formation, but this is still just our hypothesis. It needs to be confirmed through experiments. I believe that by then, we will also have made some breakthroughs in research for an antibody to combat the zombie virus."
The crowd fell silent, no longer interrupting Lin Yu, and all looked at him intently, waiting for him to continue explaining the situation.
"Perhaps you don't know yet, but what you see in science fiction movies has already appeared on Blue Star. Aliens have landed on Blue Star, and there have already been some contacts with Wuming City."
Lin Yu's words sparked another heated discussion among everyone, and they exchanged incredulous remarks.
"How can there really be aliens?"
"Elder Fei, you were a high-ranking general in our country before. Have you heard any news about this?"
"Yes, Elder Fei, among those present, you likely have the most seniority. Have you..."
In the early days of the apocalypse, many people were infected and mutated into zombies.
Furthermore, many people were infected by the mutated initial zombies around them and also turned into zombies.
This kind of thing would no longer be treated differently. Regardless of whether you were a high official or a wealthy person before the apocalypse, you could not avoid the probability of encountering such a situation.
This was why, even though Elder Fei was not an ability user, he still held a certain status and influence among these bases controlled by the former government or military.
People like him knew a lot of classified information from before the apocalypse, and this information could be useful at any time.
Facing the expectant gazes of everyone, Elder Fei shook his head helplessly. "I haven't heard anything. Those are just fabricated by ordinary people to generate some traffic and gain some attention. I haven't heard such news in any occasion."
"Then could there be some classified information that even you don't know about?"
"No. If you say the Public Security department might not know, but our military is supposed to assist the country in handling many classified matters. No military region has ever mentioned anything like this."
"What about overseas news? It's impossible that nothing has happened on the entire Blue Star."
"As far as I know, there hasn't. Let's listen to the news Wuming City has found."
Elder Fei shook his head again, denying this possibility.
Everyone's gaze shifted back to Lin Yu.
"I'll show you something, and then you'll all believe me."
Lin Yu smiled and waved his hand. Instantly, a layer of metal wallpaper appeared in the conference room, wrapping the entire room.
Fortunately, the lighting in the conference room was quite bright, but this sudden change left everyone present somewhat bewildered.
But before they could understand why they were sealed in a metal room, a robot appeared in the conference room.
The alien robot was clearly not a product of Blue Star.
Lin Yu summoned a nanny-type robot. He was afraid that summoning a bodyguard-type robot might attract other troubles.
What if someone among these people had the idea of using these robots to eliminate zombies?
Lin Yu did not want to see them coming to Wuming City to snatch robots.
The robot was summoned. Without Lin Yu's instructions, it simply stood there, motionless.
Even so, everyone present, including Elder Fei, excitedly stood up and gathered towards the robot.
Fortunately, these people still had some reason and did not get too close, maintaining some distance from the robot.
"This is not a product of Blue Star. I believe what City Lord Lin said now."
"Indeed. Not to mention that our current industrial production is almost paralyzed. Even before, we've never seen anywhere that could manufacture such a sophisticated robot."
"This skin looks a bit strange, not like human skin, but far superior to silicone products."
"Yes, the production cost of this thing should be quite high. Not all aliens have them, right?"
"I'm not sure about that. Fugui, why don't you introduce yourself to everyone and demonstrate some of the skills you have?"
Fugui, the nanny-type robot that Lu Heng gave to Lin Yu, was given such a rustic name by Lin Yu.
However, this was the first time the name was revealed to the public during its debut.
Everyone was captivated by the robot at this moment, so no one paid attention to the robot's name.
The alien robot demonstrated its capabilities to everyone present. After a series of operations, everyone's interest in alien technology was greatly piqued.
"Are there more of these robots? What resources are needed to exchange for one?"
A middle-aged man looked at the robot with fervent eyes.
This robot had far surpassed Blue Star's current technological level. He really wanted to get one back to study.
He knew that they could use moral coercion to make Wuming City share the antibody for the zombie virus as a global resource.
But for this kind of high-tech technology, they would have no reason to say the same thing.
To obtain these technologies, anyone would have to pay a certain price.
