A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 1541 - 1039 Strange Creature

"Whoa!"

Seeing this scene, Naruse Mio screamed in fright, and at the same time, a magic barrier appeared before her, blocking the monster’s attack. Then she was so scared that she fell back onto the ground, while the mutant penguin’s body began to swell, screaming again as it lunged at Naruse Mio.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, a magic beam suddenly flashed, completely piercing through the mutant penguin monster.

Only then did Frieren lower her hand holding the magic wand.

"Too slow to react."

At this point, the others hurried over, staring in disbelief at the fallen mutant penguin on the ground.

"What is this thing?"

"Anyway, it’s definitely not a penguin..."

Mukai Yuuto gritted his teeth. freeweɓnovel-cøm

"Damn it, this is just like a horror movie, I’ve never seen such a monstrous thing before."

"Let me investigate to find out."

Duanmu Huai walked over to the pierced mutant penguin’s corpse, took out the Bird Divination Tool, and forcefully inserted it into the penguin’s corpse. Soon, lines of information emerged from the Bird Divination Tool.

[Detected a large amount of alien genes]

[Warning, contamination level reaches 95%]

[Detected source of alien infection]

[Suggestion: immediate purification]

"Well, it seems we’ve found our target."

Looking at the information displayed on the Bird Divination Tool, Duanmu Huai raised an eyebrow.

"This is the work of alien creatures."

"Alien creatures?"

"In your terms, extraterrestrial life forms? Anyway, for the Tribunal, anything with a skull that doesn’t belong to humans is considered alien creatures. This thing seems pretty formidable. Luckily it’s in Antarctica, um..."

Staring silently at the penguin corpse in front of him, Duanmu Huai paused. Seeing his reaction, Mary asked.

"Mr. Duanmu, what are you planning to do?"

"From the Tribunal’s perspective? I’m considering whether to wipe out the entire Antarctic."

"Huh?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"Is that necessary?"

"Of course, you all saw it, this thing can spread through blood infection, and now its host is a penguin, maybe not just one. The Antarctic may have few creatures, but it’s not devoid of life. Penguins can be eaten by whales, and whales may become infected and mutate, and if this spreads, if they infect humans, everything will be over."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai stood up and silently opened his inventory.

"Given that it’s been over a year, no one can determine the extent of alien infection spread right now, so a thorough purification of Antarctica is the most suitable approach. Of course, the safest solution would be to destroy the entire planet, hoping it won’t come to that."

"No, no, no, please calm down, teacher."

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s answer, Mary said nothing, but the others were already terrified.

"There’s no need to destroy the entire planet, and since Antarctica is so cold, there’s hardly any life there right now. We just need to find those penguins and eliminate them, right?"

"Indulgence is the greatest crime against humanity."

Duanmu Huai silently took out a Thermite Bomb.

"From my perspective, a high-temperature disinfection of the entire Antarctic is the best solution."

"Anyway, Mr. Duanmu, let’s first see to what extent things have developed."

At this moment, Mary hurriedly spoke up.

"If the infection has already spread, then perhaps we have no choice but if it hasn’t, perhaps there are other ways to solve this problem."

"Alright, let’s check the situation first."

As Duanmu Huai said this, he snapped his fingers, and soon, two Servo Skulls flew out from the jet backpack of his Power Armor, quickly rising into the sky. They would record the biological fluctuations of these alien creatures and scan the surroundings, maximizing the location of these aliens.

At this moment, most people held their breath, silently watching the Bird Divination Tool in Duanmu Huai’s hand, as they could understand his reasoning, but... suddenly humans are facing an extinction crisis? Anyone would find it hard to react to that!

Compared to the tense expressions of Yuuto and the others, Frieren remained calm; she even pointed at the mutant penguin’s corpse to provide Naruse Mio with on-the-spot teaching.

"Your reaction was too slow. Although the deployment of the magic barrier was on point, you should not retreat next but counterattack. With your magic abilities, dealing with such a monster shouldn’t be a problem."

"I didn’t expect it to be a monster..."

Looking at the twisted mutant penguin corpse in front of her, Naruse Mio was almost in tears. Perhaps to Frieren, having such strange monsters around was quite normal, but to Naruse Mio, she simply saw it as an animal; who would have thought it would be like this...

She used to like penguins, but now she might end up with a psychological shadow.

"Beep... Beep... Beep..."

Soon, light dots appeared on the Bird Divination Tool, and finally... everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew... fortunately, it seems they haven’t spread across the Antarctic continent yet."
