Chapter 187 Conection
Alex continued watching the video with a strange look in his eyes.
In the video, the first white mouse didn\'t stop biting the newly placed white mouse until it finally lost its breath.
Once it felt that the other white mouse had died, the first white mouse finally let it go and started walking around the glass container with a listless look.
Thinking that this is the end of it, Alex raised his head and looked at Glen.
He was just about to say a few things when he saw that Glen gestured for him to continue watching.
With an unclear look, Alex turned his attention back to the video.
It was then that it happened.
Inside the glass container, the other white mouse that was killed by the zombie suddenly showed signs of movements.
Twitch!
At first its small forelegs twitching.
Then after a while, it opened its eyes.
However, those pairs of eyes are no longer like before.
Just like the first white mouse, its eyes are now pure black as if it was the abyss itself.
It was fierce, as fierce as a wild beast and also full of mania.
The white mouse got up from the ground and soon started acting similar to the first white mouse.
Alex looked at all of this with a frown and seemed to see something even more frightening than the previous virus that caused a lot of casualties.
"A zombie virus…" He muttered.
On the side, Glen heard his word and nodded,
"That\'s right. This scene is very much similar to those zombie movies that we usually watch for entertainment, isn\'t it?"
On Glen\'s face, you can see how serious his expression is.
Then, Glen took back the tablet and faced Alex.
"Alex, as you already saw, the virus from the Corruptor\'s corpse is nothing to disregard."
"In the face of this virus, it\'s not wrong to say that it can pose a threat to our world\'s safety!"
Alex listened to Glen and nodded from time to time.
Then he looked Glen directly in the eyes and solemnly said,
"Then, please tell me how I can help. Please tell me the purpose of you calling me here."
Hearing Alex\'s words, Glen can\'t help but nod in satisfaction.
On the side, the other people in the office also develop some good impressions of Alex because of his attitude.
Maybe it was also because of Alex\'s high charisma that they immediately felt good about him.
Anyway, Glen finally got down to business.
Looking at young man in front of him who seems to be full of heroic spirit, Glen solemnly asked,
"Alex, since you\'re the first one to respond to the Corruptor\'s appearance and also the one who took it down, let me ask you, did that monster come into contact with any other organism?"
Right now, this is what Glen wants to know the most.
Since this is also a crucial aspect that needs to be studied in order for them to learn if there\'s a possibility that the virus is already active in the outside world.
Everyone in this office hopes that the answer that they will hear from Alex is a denial.
With that, they will be able to breathe a sigh of relief and relax their nerves.
Unfortunately, the answer that came out of Alex\'s mouth was the opposite of what they all wanted.
With a guilty face, Alex said, "... Mr. Glen, the Corruptor has indeed come into contact with other organisms yesterday."
Alex is of course talking about the bunch of pests from yesterday that suddenly appeared around the Corruptor\'s corpse.
At that time, Alex didn\'t really care about any of them.
He thought that it was only a natural event and it\'s nothing to worry about.
But now, Alex can\'t help but feel a tinge of regret.
\'If only I didn\'t leave the corpse alone… maybe there would be nothing for us to worry about.\' he silently thought.
On the other hand, when Glen heard the answer from Alex, he became dejected.
It was not him, everyone else in the room also felt the same way.
One of them, a man wearing glasses and a lab coat suddenly spoke up,
"Boss, this is dangerous! What are we going to do now?"
That man is Luke, one of the scientists that is working for the CPS.
From his voice, anyone can hear the distress that he\'s feeling.
Hearing that, Glen also knows that they need to immediately start taking actions.
He turned his eyes towards another person in the office.
A woman with blonde hair, wearing a black sando and camouflage pants, she looks like a strong person.
With a voice full of authority, Glen ordered, "Belle, immediately form a team of people with strong detection skills and start looking for anyone who\'s infected with the virus."
Belle saluted and replied, full of vigor in her voice, "Understood!"
Glen then turned to another one of his subordinates and said,
"Taylor, your task is to immediately evacuate the people of Pearl City to the shelters and make sure to check if any of them are infected or have been in contact with the virus."
A man with a lazy appearance, dressed in full black nodded, "Okay, Boss. I\'ll finish it immediately."
"Good, I\'ll leave that in your hands."
After saying that, Glen looked at everyone in the room and said, "Alright, everyone, immediately go and proceed with your tasks!"
"Yes, Boss!"
One by one, the people in the room left, leaving only Glen and Alex inside.
Seeing Alex still standing, Glen pointed at a nearby chair and said, "Go and take a seat for now, Alex."
Alex nodded and sat down.
Then, Glen suddenly spoke,
"Alex, from your face, I can vaguely guess what you\'re thinking."
Alex raised his head and looked directly at Glen\'s eyes.
Without waiting for him to respond, Glen continued, "I know you might be feeling partly responsible for all this virus from the Corruptor."
Hearing that, Alex could only let out a sigh.
"I didn\'t expect that letting those rats from yesterday leave would end up with the possibility of a zombie virus threat."
. . .
Frey inspect his stats from the "status board" that he created.

_________________
He is filled with disappointment when he saw it. That is because this is not this is not what he imagine, he imagine something like in the games with strength, agility, endurance, etc. stat.
Although he is disappointed, he can think of what the reason of the insufficient information in his status board, and that is, of course the one and only thing that is use to fuel his creations the "magical power" also called in games as "MP".
While creating the status board he stop it because his MP is almost drained and he is on the verge of collapsing.
Now he is thinking if he can still upgrade it. Well even if he think a whole day he will still not find the answer because his MP is still low.
\'Glurrgggg\'
Then Frey heard the sound of his stomach growling.
\'Now that I think of it I still didn\'t have my breakfast and I didn\'t eat dinner too. I just sleep then fall unconscious after waking up *sigh*. What time is it anyway?\'
He look at the time on his phone. It\'s already 12:30 PM.
He go outside his room and to the kitchen to search for food. There\'s food in the table, probably cook by his mom for him. There is sausage, egg, and bacon, then there\'s rice on the rice cooker. He started eating while thinking of many things.
Soon he finish eating and wash the dishes. Now he truly feel fully energize unlike earlier with just resting. Food is really the best source of energy.
Now Frey have nothing more to do. Because today is Saturday he do not have school. He then sat on the sofa in the living room and watch TV.
While watching, he is thinking of things that he want to do and want to have. Using his power he can have anything. He is very excited, he have many things he want to do but he can\'t because of his MP that is too little to create something big.
He need to think of way to improve his MP. He remember that his MP improve a little when he use it for the first time, he probably need to drain his MP to improve again. Thinking of this he find it inefficient.
Then he have a flash of inspiration \' The protagonist in wuxia novels said that they revolve their qi around their body. How about I try that, this MP has similarities to their explanation too.\'
Thinking of this, he put it into play to test if he can do it. Little be little the MP in him started moving then it started gaining speed then it keep going faster. He keep doing for 2 hours, and the only reason he stop is he feel very exhausted.
