The Strange Corpses That Were Discovered!

Mata, Kalifa's mother, Laskey's wife, is a beautiful woman with a slender figure, soft blonde hair, and fair skin. She is also Laskey's partner on this mission.

The two moved quickly towards the northwest, not at full speed, but as fast as galloping horses.

The presence of Observation Haki means they don't need to worry about being caught off guard by a target; they can sense the presence of living beings from hundreds of meters away.

They ran for nearly two kilometers but found no strange creatures or anything noteworthy.

"Could this place really be a barbaric world?" Mata stopped and asked, trying to catch her breath.

"Compared to that, I'd rather know whether this is a small island or an entire continent. As for intelligent civilization, isn't it a good thing that there isn't any? It saves a lot of trouble."

Laskey stood aside without batting an eye, surveying his surroundings. He discovered that the area was a typical mountainous and hilly region, with hills ranging from two hundred to five hundred meters in height, and extremely high forest coverage.

[Poluporu, Polluporu]

Suddenly, the tiny Den Den Mushi in his pocket beeped. Laskey took it out and placed it in his palm, then picked up the small receiver to answer the call.

"What's up?"

"This is Star Gate Base No. 0001. Just now, Pulit and Dalian from the third team discovered two strange human corpses with blackish-purple skin, 2.5 kilometers to the north of the base. It is now confirmed that human civilization exists in this world. Please proceed with caution."

After hearing this, Laskey and Mata exchanged a surprised glance. There really was someone!

"Knew."

After ending the call, the former put the Den Den Mushi back in his shirt pocket, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's slow down a bit. I believe we'll encounter humans here soon."

"Okay." Mata nodded.

Meanwhile, the Star Gate Base became bustling with activity because of this major discovery.

"Immediately dispatch a mobile unit to bring the body back!"

"Inform Dr. Fritz to be on standby in the operating room until the cadaver arrives, at which point the Shikai immediately!"

"Yes!"

Soon, a team of twenty Army soldiers rode on individual motorcycles, roaring out of the base gate and kicking up clouds of dust behind them.

The width of the Star Gate is only enough to bring in these motorcycles.

On the Sea Star Homeworld, the Five Elders were overjoyed to receive the news. They were astonished that a civilization truly existed in this world, and judging from the images and pictures sent over, the people were just normal humans!

"But what caused their deaths, and why are they in this state?" Topman Saint Topman Warcury looked at the projected image with a puzzled expression.

The image shows two corpses lying on the ground covered with weeds, one horizontal and one vertical, their eyes wide open. Strangely, their skin appears dark and purplish, especially around their eyes, where there are very obvious Black Eye. Their pupils are also dark, making it almost impossible to see them.

"It looks like poisoning."

As the highest boss of CIPHER POL, Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter Saint expressed his first impression.

Poisoning?

The other four exchanged glances, frowning in deep thought. Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter Saint, arms crossed, continued watching the screen and said, "Although they are shirtless, judging from their loincloths, their clothing style seems to be from Wano Country. Apart from there, people in other places have long since switched to underwear."

At this moment, Marcus Saint Mars, who was mainly in charge of the Propaganda Administration, stroked his long, straight mustache and said, "If it's poisoning, then judging from the condition of these two people, it's clear that they were poisoned by the same kind of poison."

"Then we need to consider whether this poison is contagious, what its transmission routes and characteristics are, and we'll only know these things after Dr. Fritz examines it personally."

Topman Saint Topman Warcury nodded, somewhat relieved, and said, "Fortunately, we have prepared a comprehensive Biochemical Safety Station; otherwise, we really wouldn't dare let those people from the past come back so easily."

"Let's wait and see. I'm sure the other CP9 groups will make new discoveries soon," Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter said with a smile, very confident in the ten people he had chosen.

About two hours later, the dispatched mobile unit returned to the Star Gate Base in the New World with two body bags and handed them over to the researchers from the Biochemical Research Institute who were already waiting.

Meanwhile, Pulit and Dalian from CP9's third team continued their investigation further afield.

"Call----"

In the rather rudimentary operating room, Professor Fritz, already dressed in his surgical hazmat suit, held his arms out in front of him and exhaled a long breath as he looked at the blackened male corpse on the operating table.

Opposite him stood an assistant, waiting for him to make his move.

Not far away, outside the Hari, stood three government officials in black suits, each with the same cold expression, silently watching the situation inside the operating room.

At this moment, Professor Fritz skillfully disemboweled the corpse with a sharp Mes.

"Um?"

Just then, he felt a surge of heat on his hands. Knowing he was wearing gloves, he exclaimed in surprise, "Such a high body temperature!"

Through the hazmat suit, he could clearly see wisps of heat emanating from the corpse's organs, as if they were being steamed. Then his gaze focused on the corpse's left chest.

Location of the heart!

That area was noticeably darker, as if it had been charred by a high temperature, but when he moved the Mes over to examine the heart...

He didn't even need to use much force; the thin, blackened skin on the surface was easily cut through, but just as the blade was about to penetrate further...

Suddenly, a crisp "ding" sounded in the operating room.

The sound was like a sharp blade hitting Hari, but the Hari was clearly very hard. Even though Professor Fritz subconsciously increased his force, he still couldn't cut through the somewhat transparent thin skin!

"How so?"

Professor Fritz's surprise turned into shock; there were even human body parts that couldn't be cut open with Mes. At that moment, a voice came through the earpiece inside the hazmat suit.

"Dean, we found an infectious virus on another corpse, which has been preliminarily identified as an RNA virus."

"Through human experiments on Impel Down prisoners, it has been determined that the transmission route is through blood, saliva, and wounds. Once the virus enters the body, it accumulates in the heart via the aorta, and then continues to spread from the heart to the brain, eventually turning people into mindless but still mobile Living Dead!"

Meanwhile, in a cell within the base, a criminal, shirtless and wearing a zebra-print prison uniform, with dark purple skin, black eyes, but whose pupils and heart glowed with a fiery red light, swayed back and forth with his mouth agape.

In the shadows, several researchers from the Biochemical Research Institute, also dressed in biohazard suits and accompanied by two CP7 men in black, observed his condition while reporting to Professor Fritz through their earpieces.

They had just applied the virus collected from the second corpse to the wound on this prisoner's arm, and then witnessed him transform from a normal person into what he is now—the whole process took less than a minute.

"We are now requesting that it undergo offensive testing."

Professor Fritz was surprised. Living Dead?

But he suppressed his emotions, stared at the dissected corpse in front of him, and said, "Okay, but you need to maintain a safe distance. Leave this to CP7 and the Army."

"Yes!"

Readers who haven't watched the anime don't need to skip around. CP9 will provide you with detailed information. Just imagine yourself as a high-ranking official of the World Government, learning about the New World through intelligence reports from your agents. Isn't that fun?

I think this process is very interesting for a novel about conquering multiple worlds, and the thrill of exploring the unknown world is amazing!

If you haven't read it, then you are actually at the same perspective as the Five Elders in the book. However, your advantage over the Five Elders is that you can always check Baidu.
