Chapter 640 Data on Pollutants

When Lingye heard Meros describe some of the characteristics of this thing so clearly, he clearly felt his spirits lift.

"Then, please tell us what this thing is. It's really too strange. It has no brain at all, but it acts with a certain logic."

He stared wide-eyed at Meros and asked impatiently.

His voice revealed urgency and anticipation, as if he couldn't wait to know the answer.

"This thing must be a contaminant that Fei Bo deliberately left behind, mixed with a little bit of his body fragments, which is why it looks like this."

Meros stated it directly, without any intention of keeping it a secret.

"Pollutants? What kind of pollutants?"

Upon hearing this, Lingluo couldn't help but ask curiously.

Her eyes were filled with confusion and questions.

"Let me show you."

Seeing that everyone present except Earl was curious, Meros stretched out a hand.

He turned his palms up, concentrated his mind, and began to mobilize the energy within his body.

Then, a strangely shaped object emitting a faint light gradually appeared in his palm.

This thing is made entirely of pure energy, and at first glance it looks like a fine work of art.

However, it is known that being able to use energy so precisely to depict such a complex image is an extremely difficult task.

From this perspective, Meros's effortless skill demonstrates his top-tier strength.

Although Lingye and the others knew that Meros was very strong, this was the first time they had felt the gap so directly.

Now, the pollutants that Meros is showing look quite similar to a certain virus pattern in a science video that everyone watched when they were young, but it is even more distorted and bizarre.

Its overall shape is spherical, but countless intricate branches extend from the surface of the sphere, like a spider web covering the entire sphere, and the branches seem to follow a certain rule in their arrangement and combination.

Moreover, these branches are covered with eerie spikes that seem to embed themselves deep into the skin like fishhooks with the slightest touch, sending chills down one's spine.

These spikes cover the entire sphere, making it look even more ferocious and terrifying.

Faced with this strange thing, Ling Ye and Ling Luo exchanged a glance, secretly planning to report it to their superiors later.

Just then, before they could say anything, Meros broke the silence.

"This is the initial form of that pollutant."

He paid no attention to the brief exchange of glances between Ling Ye and Ling Luo, and went straight to his point.

"What is this thing?"

Lin Xiyue looked up with great curiosity, her gaze falling on what was right in front of her, her eyes filled with wonder.

She couldn't help but gently reach out, wanting to touch it.

But the moment the fingertips touched it, they were immediately enveloped by a bone-chilling cold, as if they were touching millennia-old ice.

Immediately afterwards, her fingers passed through like a phantom, without any resistance.

"This is just a form simulated by energy; you can't actually touch it. And remember, if you see it, never try to touch it!"

Meros's deep and firm voice rang out, carrying an undeniable certainty.

After saying that, he quickly grasped Lin Xiyue's small hand tightly with his other large hand, his expression extremely serious.

"This pollutant can easily corrode any organic matter. Once contaminated, it will rapidly penetrate the body like a demon possessing it. At that point, it will be very difficult to eradicate it completely."

Knowing the stakes involved, Melos was afraid that Lin Xiyue might be careless, so he gave her a few extra instructions.

"Hmph! Who doesn't know that! I'm not a three-year-old anymore! This thing looks so scary, I'm not going to be stupid enough to reach out and provoke it!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but pout and mutter softly.

Then, despite her outward bravado, she still felt a great deal of awe towards this pollutant.

Moros glanced at Lin Xiyue, then tossed the model onto the coffee table, gesturing for her to get away from it.

After all, just now, out of curiosity, Lin Xiyue reached out without hesitation and touched the pollutants that Moros had outlined with energy. She had no sense of danger at all, so she couldn't be allowed to get close to them.

"Once this substance comes into contact with organic life forms, it will multiply and proliferate at an astonishing rate."

Initially, the infected person will develop numerous hideous tumors all over their body, just like the dog we saw earlier, accompanied by a series of severe emotional disorders.

As time goes by, the entire body will eventually be completely eroded and devoured by these pollutants, which will then trigger a massive explosion—not very powerful, but widespread, leaving countless fragments.

Moreover, these pollutant fragments possess spore-like properties, enabling them to rapidly spread and spread over long distances using the air as a medium.

Then, with a solemn expression, Meros continued to explain to those present.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, the pollutants you are facing now are actually close to maturity, but because you captured them in time, they are unable to meet the environmental conditions required for their normal spread."

Therefore, these creatures choose to enter a semi-dormant state. As a result, they react and become active as soon as any light shines on them.

After a brief pause, Meros seemed to recall some detail and added.

After hearing Meros's words, the scene fell into a deathly silence. Everyone's face showed a complex expression of shock and fear, and for a moment, no one spoke.

"So... is there really no way to save this dog?"

After a moment of silence, Lingluo finally broke the silence and asked in a slightly trembling voice.

She stared intently at the little dog in front of her, which seemed to be still alive but was actually lifeless, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Meros nodded silently, affirming.

"That's right. Although it appears to be alive on the surface, it is actually brain dead."

The so-called 'signs of life' presented to us at this moment are nothing more than illusions deliberately created by pollutants through some means.

They do this for one purpose only—to find a wide-open, sunny, and pleasant place, and then suddenly burst forth with a large number of spores so that more organisms can be infected by them.

He knew full well what this cruel truth meant for Lingluo, but he still told her the truth.
