Chapter 171 Alex's Regret, Emergency



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.

12:06

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."

Knowing that his feelings were exposed, 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."

"If I knew, I would have ended them right then and there."

Alex said, shaking his head in regret.

Seeing him acting like that, Glen stood up from his seat and walked to Alex\'s side.

Putting his hand on his shoulder, Glen said, "No one could have thought that such a simple thing would be a great threat, right?"

"Even if it was me that was there, I might have made the same mistake without noticing."

Hearing what he said, Alex felt a little better.

After a moment of silence, Alex looked at Glen and said, "Mr. Glen, if there\'s anything that I can do in order to help, just tell me."

"Just think of it as me wanting to ease the guilt that I\'m feeling."

Glen nodded in satisfaction after seeing Alex\'s willingness to help.

"Don\'t worry, I will contact you immediately if there\'s something."

After that, they continued talking for a while more before Alex thought about going home.

Facing Glen, he asked, "Mr. Glen, it\'s a bit late now, if there\'s nothing else that I can help with here, I will go back first."

Glen only seemed to realize the time now and said, "Oh, you\'re right!"

"I\'m sorry for calling you here this late, Alex. It was an emergency earlier."

Alex waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Don\'t worry about it, Mr. Glen, I understand that it was an urgent matter that needs to be discussed immediately."

"After all, this involves not just mine, but also the life of everyone in our city and maybe, even the whole world!"

Alex\'s words made Glen smile, "I\'m glad that you understand."

"Anyway, be careful on your way back."

Alex nodded at Glen and waved at him as he left.

Alex followed the path that he took with the girl with twintails earlier and soon arrived outside the bookstore.

By the way, to get out from the secret path, Alex just pulled the same book that the girl from before did.

Anyway, with complicated thoughts, Alex left the bookstore and went back home.

Once he got back, Alex was no longer in the mood to do anything and directly headed to bed.

Tonight is destined to be a busy one for certain people in the City of Pearl.

The next morning, Alex woke up while feeling sluggish.

Honestly, Alex wasn\'t able to get a good sleep because his mind was filled with various things last night.

Fortunately, his physique has been strengthened by his high stats so not sleeping for a night is not a problem.
