"I didn't understand, but I was deeply shocked," a researcher said earnestly.
"Same here," another agreed.
After the first Oddity charged into the Furnace, more began appearing one after another. Their behavior seemed rather strange. When they first entered the Furnace area, they seemed to retain a tiny bit of reason.
But whether because they were running or because they were gradually approaching the Guidance Circle and the Furnace core, their behavior became increasingly chaotic.
The Furnace core seemed to contain something enormously attractive, making these Oddities race toward it regardless of everything else.
As they ran, those unidentified golden currents passed through their bodies, rapidly breaking their flesh down into flowing blue energy, which followed the energy channels they had originally designed toward the Furnace core.
This process essentially repeated itself, and even more absurdly, the Furnace seemed unchanged as the number of Oddities increased.
Even the speed at which these Oddities died was roughly the same. Whether that was because no wild Level 2 Oddities had appeared yet was unclear.
Xia Libo used his Yellow-Green Ball to sense the situation.
After observing the Oddities dying one by one, Xia Libo clenched his fists. He felt they had already succeeded and ought to share the joy with someone.
Xu Le, for instance?
But he looked at the people around him. They were essentially all those earnest, unassuming researchers from the Zion Progressives.
These people certainly had technical skills and education, and they could build things, but they were not Xu Le. They would not come out with a few classic wisecracks at a time like this the way Xu Le would.
That left Xia Libo feeling somewhat regretful.
"Is Xu Le inside the Furnace core? Should I make a few factory director declarations on his behalf?"
While Xia Libo
