One Hunter after another stepped forward.
The remaining Hunters also said that once they had cleared out the Contaminants in Zone A, they would head to Zone B and Zone C to help search for people.
Feng Ling silently marveled at Ye Zheng's prestige among the Hunters.
There was a reason for it.
Before the Abomination Safety Supervision Bureau was established, the Xenomorph Biological Research Institute had already been founded.
Aside from researching Xenomorph lifeforms and Cards, the Research Institute's more direct purpose was to provide talent for the Supervision Bureau.
Although everyone now knew that obtaining a Card meant obtaining superpowers, back then everything had been unknown. No one knew what side effects absorbing a Card would produce, how problems should be treated if they arose, or whether humans who used Cards could still be considered human in the conventional sense.
Theory was theory; reality was reality.
Live experiments were unavoidable.
The first group to participate in the experiments consisted of elites selected from the Military Region—ten men and ten women. They all signed voluntary participation agreements and handed the Research Institute full rights over the use of their bodies.
At the time, to encourage this spirit of sacrifice and dedication, the names and photographs of all the experimental participants were publicly promoted as heroes.
In the end, four of the twenty died after their Corruption Values spiraled out of control, while the remaining sixteen became the country's first Inspectors.
The Research Institute also obtained a vast amount of valuable data through the experiments and achieved preliminary results.
For example, humanity's tolerance for Corruption Value was around 22%.
Another example was that Card traits could subtly influence an individual's personality over time.
These research results laid a solid foundation for the Supervision Bureau's later development.
