Ronan's line of questioning had completely moved beyond the scope of the Inner World and into a broader, yet more serious domain.
The concept of "dirty people" was not actually complicated. The reason was simply that it had never been a scientific definition. It was merely a description for genetic contamination—more precisely, the phenomenon of "suspected foreign genes embedded in the genomes of human cells."
During the years when the Third War began with nuclear conflict, or when Aberrant Species invasions were at their most devastating, this would not even have counted as a problem.
But as humanity was about to enter the twenty-second century and people's perceptions gradually returned to normal, bluntly speaking, it was still shocking.
Especially when the target in question was so specific.
For the first time, Wen Huilan did not give a direct response. "We are not a scientific research department, nor are we responsible for specific distribution..."
There should have been jeers here, but the discussion site was utterly silent.
Only the gazes cast toward Wen Huilan had become markedly different.
Ronan did not press Wen Huilan over her evasive wording, as though he still accepted that explanation. He continued devoting part of his attention to tinkering with the Exoskeleton Armor, handling both matters at once without conflict.
He even gave Wen Huilan a chance to catch her breath before turning to Bamboo Pole. "Bamboo Pole Bro, I remember that genetic contamination caused by aberrations is also a hot topic in academia. The research results... are fairly positive?"
"Ah, you should ask Octopus about that. But as far as I know, the mainstream academic view is fairly optimistic. It's basically along the lines of, 'The door allowing foreign genes to participate in the natural evolution of cellular genomes was completely closed after the Cambrian
