Chapter 218
#They delete faster than I save#
#Strict investigation recommended#
#Let's take a look at which people have posted angry messages criticizing planets#
#These planets seem to have something to hide#
#Here's the condemnation, you're welcome#
After waiting for a while, Qin Su saw the popularity rise significantly and One-Click Send the text he had edited on countless alternate accounts to the 'Virus' trending topics with a single click.
All the data was completely deleted, and he didn't even keep a backup. Naturally, there's no evidence, and even if there were, he couldn't show it to avoid being seen by malicious individuals. He could only try to mislead people into thinking it was related to Virus.
With the IDs of the students in Class 6), whether it's the planets that have already been attacked by the Living Dead Virus or other planets that may be attacked by the Living Dead in the future, they should all understand that he is paying attention to the Virus. This may delay the reopening of such Virus laboratories, or some planets may voluntarily close them. In short, it is much better than doing nothing.
[As we all know, the most recent event closely related to the Osotalia Empire is the undead virus incident in the town of Lechakanvisana. After Qin Su brought the vaccine and ended this undead war, the Osotalia Empire's data on the virus was immediately deleted. These planets are all posting angry statements accusing the Osotalia Empire of breaching their laboratories and deleting their data... Now you understand, right?]
[Does the original poster mean that Osotaria is urgently looking for a replacement for the previous Doom473 Virus?]
[Do these labs on these planets contain the Virus the Ossotalia Empire needs? Are they also secretly researching that inhumane Virus? (horrified face)]
[In that case, no wonder they were so furious and kept denouncing us. Not a single planet could really explain what data was deleted from the lab; without exception, it was all shrouded in mystery. Now everything makes sense (nods). If it was Virus, then it's something they really can't say and dare not say. But now it doesn't matter whether they say it or not; our netizens' sharp eyes have already discovered the truth.]
[Did we really find them? Are you sure? Look at the rhythm that Class 6) is setting, tsk tsk]
[@Osotalia Ossotalia Empire, is this what happened?]
[Hilarious, they must have gone mad to respond when everyone was calling for their doom.]
The official accounts of various planets that had previously issued vague and angry statements now regret their previous actions and are urgently issuing clarifications after the truth was exposed.
Without any concrete evidence, the official statement strongly denied that the deleted data was related to the Ossotalia Empire Doom473 Living Dead Virus.
Anyway, since they named the Virus something other than Doom473 Virus and claimed it had nothing to do with the Doom473 Virus of the Ossotalia Empire, there's no problem with that.
The important officials of various planets looked at the numerous familiar (Class 6 IDs specially marked on the large screen in front of them during the emergency meeting. They knew that this matter was definitely related to Qin Su. They silently activated the protection mode and decided to rethink the experiment of restarting the Virus that turned humans into weapons or destroyed a place in the simplest way through human-to-human contact and airborne transmission.
Let's stop for now.
"Specifically... whether to continue or not, let's wait and see how things develop."
"I agree. Qin Su's refusal to release evidence, his attempt to definitively link us to the Living Dead Virus, is likely a way of keeping an eye on us..."
"This is bad." Someone suddenly stood up, temporarily seizing control of the meeting, and displayed their personal Optical Brain interface on the Optical Brain chain to everyone. "The Ossotalia Empire has also gotten involved."
On different planets and in different locations, countless people saw the Ossotalia Empire's "debunking" article, published just one minute earlier, which contradicted the previous statement condemning its egregious behavior on various planets.
Under Felix's instructions, he frankly admitted that the army he led raided the laboratories on various planets in order to obtain Virus data similar to Doom 473 as quickly as possible. He also clearly stated that the laboratories on various planets had received advance notice before the raids and had transferred the Virus data in advance, causing them to fail several times. Then, through condemnation, he despicably pinned the blame on the Ossotalia Empire.
[The "For these planets, even the usually indifferent Ossotalia Empire has become enraged" version? It has to be netizens, even those using VPNs, to find the Ossotalia Empire's denial. So, which side is telling the truth?]
[Who cares? I love watching them fight! I just love watching people brawl and slap each other without me having to think.]
[No one admits that the Virus data was taken by the other side, so the question is, who is telling the truth? Of course, it must be one of the two sides, but that's something that can't be admitted, because admitting it would mean being condemned by countless people like the Ossotalia Empire.]
[Only ordinary people like us despise this. Certain special groups absolutely adore those Virus that bring them huge profits. It's so annoying that they created the Virus, but we ordinary people are the ones who suffer, while they reap all the benefits. Maybe this broken world should just be destroyed sooner rather than later. When will we have a planetary collision?]
"They clearly obtained the data; they're not even satisfied with what they got. This is slander!"
At meetings on different planets, similar angry shouts rang out.
Beside the bright, sterile operating table, Felix, dressed in sterile protective clothing and wearing white gloves, hummed an off-key tune as he meticulously unwrapped the soft, white, fish-scale-like package. He admired the newly constructed facial jawbone on the right, made of specially treated gold metal, for a few seconds before using a sharp blade to scrape away the flesh that was still growing along the metal. There was not a trace of pity for the humanoid figure on the operating table in his eyes, only admiration for his new creation.
"Who says no human being in this world can withstand such modifications? If McCarthy were still alive, he'd be amazed and envious of my good fortune."
Qin Su hadn't expected the Ossotalia Empire to get involved, but it didn't significantly affect his desired outcome, so he didn't pay much attention. Based on some of the information he had gathered about the Modified Humans, he had the Military Factory manufacture a batch of targeted weapons.
He cannot reveal the methods used to Modified Humans to the public, but he can create a batch of weapons based on their characteristics and let the students in Class 6 become familiar with them in advance.
--
Another week passed, Class 6) finally saw Qin Su, who had been missing for a long time, during Monday's training session. After looking around, they did not see the instructor in charge of today's training, and their joy was even greater.
'Great! A wonderful day that belongs entirely to Qin Su and their Class 6 is about to begin!'
"Class Monitor!"
"Class Monitor."
(Class 6 surrounded Qin Su one after another. They had not seen Qin Su for nearly a month, and their longing for Qin Su was like a surging river that never stopped!
Qin Su hummed in agreement, avoiding the overly intense gazes of his classmates. He turned to the side, gesturing for them to look at the weapon behind him, which had been transported using three years of his Life Points and was recently completed. His mind involuntarily drifted back to the documents his classmates had compiled and submitted recently, detailing their observations on interacting with Modified Humans.
He had considered observing his classmates carefully from all angles, based on their thought processes, but he hadn't expected that their submitted documents would include even their 'personal reflections,' and that they would meticulously list the various difficulties that the Modified Humans might face in their daily lives.
Throughout the text, the Modified Humans speaks on behalf of the Modified Humans, even knowing that some of them are hostile towards them.
The beautiful and sincere light surrounding them dazzled him, a man accustomed to darkly calculating gains and losses at the slightest disagreement.
In particular, they wanted him to become familiar with weapons that could cause fatal damage to Modified Humans without their knowledge, in preparation for potential future crises.
Qin Su: "..."
'He's really bad.'
But it can't be changed.
'And prepare for something even worse.'
(Class 6 students' attention was immediately focused on Qin Su. Although they noticed out of the corner of their eye that the training ground had changed, they didn't pay much attention because the equipment was often being adjusted. It was only after Qin Su gestured that they turned their attention to it.
They were rows of unopened boxes, varying in size, and all marked with the distinctive letter "S".
"Class Monitor, did you bring all of these?"
"Class Monitor, what's inside?"
Hearing the slightly excited voices of his classmates, Qin Su pulled himself back to reality and nodded in response, "Mm."
"As for what it is..." Qin Su placed his hand on one of the boxes, "Open them all and take a look."
Qin Su withdrew his hand from the box and casually stepped back to make way for the students. "We have half an hour to get acquainted. After half an hour, if you have any questions, you can ask each other or me."
"Don't worry, no ammunition has been provided today. Feel free to use and dismantle it as you see fit."
These weapons were rushed out. During the manufacturing process, he only had time to familiarize himself with each one three times. As for the instructions for use, since he didn't really want the usage methods of these weapons to be widely disseminated, he didn't plan to write them down.
However, since they were all familiar with the weapons, and although there were no instructions, the methods of using most weapons were basically the same, except for some special operations.
"Good!"
Qin Su had not been seen for a long time. When he returned, he brought them new weapons. They thought about it carefully and realized that they were all gifts that Qin Su had brought for them. It was hard for Class 6) not to be excited.
Qin Su stepped back, and the 20 group leaders of Class 6) exchanged glances. In just a few seconds of eye contact, they nodded to each other, confirming which box their group was responsible for opening. They then raised their hands to signal their group members to open the weapon boxes they had been assigned.
It's rare for students at the Military Academy not to like weapons. After the initial gasps of amazement at the new weapons, they glanced at them, and seeing that Qin Su wasn't looking at them, they followed their group leader's instructions and took out the weapons from their assigned boxes, eagerly touching, exploring, and disassembling them...
Ten minutes later, Qin Su was organizing the data of a new batch of Modified Humans when he noticed out of the corner of his eye that many of his classmates were looking in his direction several times, their expressions hesitant and wanting to say something.
They didn't come over or say anything, so Qin Su pretended not to see them.
"Let me make this clear first, it's not that I'm deliberately picking a fight, it's just that the timing of these two events makes it hard not to have some suspicions."
"Well, I was overthinking it too. Do you think it's because the Class Monitor, after reading our report on the Modified Humans, felt we were too soft-hearted? Or too easily moved? So he created weapons specifically for the Modified Humans our useless pity? Hoping we'd become ruthless and cold-blooded?"
"We haven't even seen the ammunition, so it might not be true. Don't speculate."
"The Class Monitor never does anything pointless. Can't we just assume we guessed right for now?"
"Doesn't anyone think that the Class Monitor's knowledge of all this is so astonishing? Even though I knew the Class Monitor was omniscient, now that I truly realize it, I'm still shocked. I can't imagine what expressions the Planetary Military Districts would have if they knew that their secrets were completely transparent to the Class Monitor."
"Let's put those aside for now. The important thing is to determine whether this is specifically targeting Modified Humans. Could it be that a war with Modified Humans is imminent? Modified Humans collectively rebelled because they were treated so unhumanly?"
"Thinking about it won't help; you have to ask."
After whispering amongst themselves for a while, the group leaders, who had gathered together, looked at He Muzhi while their respective group members were busy.
"Brother Mu, no one else can handle this except you."
"Please, Brother Mu, we really want to have a better understanding of the situation."
He Muzhi listened for a long time without speaking. He was too embarrassed to say that when he opened the box and saw the new weapons, his first thought was that they were aimed at Modified Humans. However... compared to the open and trusting discussion among his classmates, he was afraid that his words would become a 'handle' for them, so he hypocritically kept his mouth shut.
Following the suggestion, He Muzhi walked towards Qin Su.
"Class Monitor," He Muzhi called out as he walked behind Qin Su, asking softly, "I wanted to ask, are these weapons designed for Modified Humans?"
After spending time with the Modified Humans left, and now weapons they've never used before have appeared. The time difference between these events is not long. Someone in Class 6 guessed who these weapons were aimed at. Qin Su wasn't surprised, especially since he was the protagonist. The moment he noticed He Muzhi looking at him frequently, Qin Su understood that He Muzhi was suspicious.
He Muzhi was clearly not the only one who had doubts. Many of his classmates, who were originally students at the Fourth Military Academy and had some access to information about Modified Humans, were also casting their gazes at him.
Qin Su didn't offer a direct answer, but instead asked He Muzhi, "So what if it is? What are you planning to do?"
