Chapter 297: Chapter 68: Epidemic? Mutation? It’s Biochemical Transformation! !
“No problem, go ahead with your work.”
If someone was willing to take care of research logistics, Link wouldn’t turn it down; he accepted immediately.
Now, he could fully devote himself to the research on the fairy disease and deformation.
Old man Morpheus downloaded the comparison report from the public intelligence network onto his personal device and, deep in thought, he left. The matter was huge; once discovered, he couldn’t hide it, he had to report it upwards.
The rear camp was different from the front-line battlefield.
Although its significance was high, there were fewer people of significant skills and power.
If a disturbance were to happen, if it was not handled promptly and appropriately, it could easily shake the morale of the whole military.
Not to mention existing issues like the loss of stability in the front line due to logistical supplies, or even the possibility of becoming an isolated force.
At the thought of this, old man Morpheus quickened his steps involuntarily. Back in his office, he locked the door, checked for any possibility of eavesdropping, activated an anti-eavesdropping device, and set up a rune sound barrier.
After doing all these preparations, Morpheus then took out an encrypted communicator and sent a communication request.
There were many ways to report upwards.
The method Morpheus chose was a non-formal method that served both public and private purposes.
“What’s the matter?”
A hoarse voice came from the other end of the communicator.
“Find a convenient place to talk.”
Morpheus deliberately lowered his voice.
“Wait a moment.”
The voice on the other side said and then cut off the communication.
After a while, there was a communication request from the other side, indicating they had found a secure place to talk.
“What’s the matter? Why such caution?”
The hoarse voice inquired doubtfully.
“What’s the matter?”
Morpheus could no longer suppress his emotions, he raised his voice, cursed openly, “It’s regarding your life! Just how the hell have you been doing your job that you let such a serious mistake happen?”
“Explain.”
The hoarse voice instantaneously became serious.
“All the deformed fairy corpses sent to the rear camp, along with living fairies, went through your inspection team’s hands, and it was confirmed that they did not carry any disease and they would not mutate, right?”
“Right, didn’t you just take some from me today? What, have you discovered a problem?”
The hoarse voice answered the question and then inquired with concern.
“Hmm, discovered a problem?”
Old man Morpheus said with a hint of sarcasm, “The problem discovered is a big one.
The living fairies you sent over are carrying the disease and have already started mutating.
Luckily it was my subordinates who discovered it first, and I informed you the first thing.
If someone else had found out, they would have directly reported it to Wizard Palo, and you would be reprimanded.
If it was even worse, and something happened, you probably wouldn’t even have the chance to be reprimanded, as your ashes would be scattered.” “Damn! Old man Morpheus, don’t scare me.”
The hoarse voice was enormously shocked, somewhat unwilling to believe Morpheus’ words.
But he knew that old man Morpheus wouldn’t joke about such a serious matter.
So, there was indeed a significant mistake.
“Hmm…”
Morpheus simply continued to laugh coldly.
This kind of attitude directly shattered the hoarse voice’ s last glimmer of hope.
The hoarse voice immediately fell silent.
After a while, he still couldn’t help but hold on to a glimmer of hope and asked,
“Is there any evidence? I want to see the evidence.”
Old man Morpheus had known beforehand that the other party would not easily believe him, so he had downloaded the comparison report.
If it were not for the fact that the other party had once saved his life, he would be too lazy to wade into these muddy waters.
He would’ve directly reported to Wizard Palo.
Why would he bother reminding the other person to quickly rectify the situation?
It was such a hassle.
However, old man Morpheus did not directly send the comparison report.
After all, this was the research result of Link Grande.
It was already inappropriate that he’s using it for personal matters.
If he were to disclose it so quickly, then there wouldn’t be any sense of academic integrity left.
They were all professionals, so old man Morpheus took out the comparison report and picked a few points, then verbally relayed a few key findings.
The person on the other side immediately understood that old man Morpheus wasn’t deceiving him.
The work of their team indeed had a significant mistake.
They must recall all the deformed fairy corpses, as well as living fairies that were sent to the rear camp before the matter gets exposed.
They also had to examine the previous testing procedures to determine whether this error was manufactured intentionally or it was due to unreasonable and lax testing procedures.
He could only hope it was the latter, and not the former.
The hoarse voice cut off the communication, hoping hard in his heart.
He immediately set out to handle the situation, decisively and efficiently.
He first suspended all inspections involving the deformed fairy corpses and living fairies, disarmed the personnel, used magic prohibitions on them, and centrally monitored them.
The sudden changes quickly caused a significant stir.
Subsequently, he immediately sent out a notice to recall all deformed fairy corpses and living fairies.
He informed the relevant agencies in the rear camp that they must strictly guard the corpses and living fairies, raise their alert levels, and prevent any accidents from occurring until the retrieval team arrives.
The detection team’s location was in a corner to the east of the front line command post.
However, no matter how cornered, causing such a commotion would attract attention.
The captain in charge of the entire command post security came over and asked, “Koir, what are you guys doing? It’s quite a scene.”
The detection team leader Koir, who had a raspy voice, replied sardonically, “A scene? I don’t want this scene! My subordinates made a mistake, and we’re trying to rectify it. I can only hope it doesn’ t turn into a bigger mess.”
Upon hearing this, the captain furrowed his brow and immediately asked, “Is the problem severe? Do you need help?”
“Currently, it’s not too severe.”
After considering for a moment, Koir said, “If possible, please make sure to guard the teleportation gate.”
