Chapter 561: Tracking the Truth (Part 3)
Another reporter stood up, this time from Russia.
Fro Hernandez, Commander of the Beautiful Country stationed in Japan, picked up the microphone and said calmly, "These claims are pure slander. We have detected that due to prolonged contact with sea monsters, the Japanese in Geshan County have been infected with an unknown virus. If they come out and we fail to control it, it will lead to widespread devastation.
Therefore, reluctantly and out of necessity, our military chose to assist the Japan Self Defense Force in initially locking down Geshan County.
Additionally, nearby Geshan County, several new quarantine camps are under urgent construction. We will regularly air-drop living supplies to Geshan County. The sea monsters in the city are now few in number and pose no threat to the safety of the survivors inside.
Once the quarantine camps are completed, we can relocate the survivors from Geshan County into them. If there are no issues at that time, we will naturally allow them to return to their normal lives."
Upon hearing Fro Hernandez's words, many reporters on site raised a big question mark on their foreheads.
"Quarantine camps? Why does that sound so familiar."
"Have you forgotten, two years ago, the Jieke Group used this tactic against the You Tai."
"Gosh, no wonder it sounds so familiar. The Jieke Group used the Zombie Virus to isolate the You Tai, and the Beautiful Country is using the sea monster virus to isolate the Japanese. The world really is a cycle!"
The reporters beneath the stage whispered among themselves, their expressions quite peculiar.
The tactic once used by the Jieke Group on You Tai Country is now being used by the Beautiful Country on Japan. To be fair, the two entities really have some kind of tacit understanding in this regard.
There were also reporters from the Jieke Group present, looking at Fro Hernandez with speechless expressions.
Darn, the Beautiful Country learned the real trick.
In the past, it was always the Jieke Group learning from the Eagle to cross the river, but today the Eagle learned it.
"I have a question. It's said that the Geshan County incident was caused by your release of nuclear wastewater. Some research institutions have confirmed that excessive nuclear material residues have been detected on sea monster remains. When will Japan stop releasing nuclear wastewater."
A reporter from the Jieke Group held a microphone, asking the question that many were concerned about.
"The release of nuclear wastewater has nothing to do with this incident with the sea monsters. The reasons for the appearance of sea monsters are still under investigation and confirmation. Once specific details are worked out, we will fully disclose them to the public."
Xiyuan Temple Yiteng denied it without thinking. Not to mention that it's still uncertain whether the sea monsters were caused by them, but even if they were, they couldn't admit it. That would make Japan a target of scorn in the international community, and even domestically, there would be condemnation from the public and from him as the Prime Minister. After all, the casualties in Geshan County are there, and admitting it would mean he has to take full responsibility for the sea monster attack in Geshan County.
Seeing Xiyuan Temple Yiteng's shameless demeanor, many reporters in the audience were completely unconvinced, but there was no way to make him admit it.
After the Q&A session ended, the sea monster incident did not conclude there. Various countries around the world began dispatching personnel to explore the truth behind these sea monsters, curious about how these sea monsters came to be.
........
A week later!
In the sea area around the Ryukyu Islands, an oceanographic research ship bearing the Japanese flag was sailing there, accompanied by two military vessels from the Beautiful Country.
On the research ship gathered some of the top biological experts, paleontologists, microbiologists, and even ancient history experts from the Beautiful Country.
These were all world-class experts, most of whom were invited by the Beautiful Country, but naturally, these experts were also highly interested in the matter.
Now, with the Geshan County sea monster incident causing a big stir, this brand-new species of sea monster has completely piqued the curiosity of these experts. Many believe that this is a groundbreaking discovery that can be recorded in history. If the secrets of these sea monsters can be uncovered, human advances in technology and biology might progress by leaps and bounds.
"The locator is still working, decoy fish position 27183.13551."
"Sonar system functioning normally, no unusual signals detected."
"Transmit decoy fish trajectory to headquarters."
Inside the research ship, a large number of personnel were busy and tense.
"Continue following the decoy fish, do not lose the target."
An elderly man with white hair, yet energetic, and whose blue eyes were focused intensely on the sea chart, spoke up.
His name is Viola Bailey, and he is the world's top marine biologist. He has discovered hundreds of new marine species, has knowledge of ocean currents, species, microbiology, geology, and botany, and is also the chief scientist of this team.
Viola Bailey is currently tracking a decoy fish, which is actually a sea monster, a medium-sized sea monster.
After getting control of Geshan County, the Beautiful Country immediately joined the research on the sea monsters.
A large number of sea monster corpses in the city were used by the Beautiful Country for research and dissection, and even many live specimens were captured.
Through research, scientists from the Beautiful Country discovered that these sea monsters were indeed mutated from ordinary marine life. Most of their genes matched marine species characteristics, and a large amount of nuclear material residue was detected within their body tissues.
Most importantly, the blood, flesh, and even genes within these sea monsters contained substances and genomic sequences that were completely unknown and incomprehensible to them.
These peculiar blood substances and genomic sequences seem to be the reason for the emergence of the sea monsters.
