Chapter 293: 293. The Others (2)

"You can go now." Uncle Darien rubbed his forehead.

Lucas smiled and then hurriedly ran away from the office. He could sense that Uncle Darien was not very pleased with what he said.

But what could he do?

He was only the messenger, ah!

Uncle Darien read the report that Lucas brought to him, his eyes flashed in surprise from the content that was brought to him.

It seemed that the matter of these mutated animals wouldn’t be so easy to solve.

At the very least, not anytime soon.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in."

The door opened and two middle aged man came inside. Uncle Darien recognized the two of them as Matthias, Mark’s father, and also Kenan, the second uncle of Lucy. The two of them were two of the five leaders in the base who were responsible for the military and security side.

The day when these mutated animals suddenly came was also under their jurisdiction and they were ordered to do investigation and so on. After all, how these mutated animals suddenly came into the base was another question.

While their base was still undergoing expansion to the north in order to cope up with the increase of the population and so on, but these mutated animals shouldn’t have entered so easily.

"Matthias, Kenan, what brought the two of you here?" Uncle Darien asked.

Uncle Matthias glanced at Uncle Darien and rolled his eyes. "Don’t you already know the answer? We’re here for the matter of that mutated animals that came into the base."

"You can just give report for this."

Second Uncle Kenan shook his head. "It’s not enough. Those people have been making trouble because of the appearance of these mutated animals. Not only rats appeared but several other animals also have appeared. Even the poultry animals we kept, some of them turned into mutated animals."

"The cause?"

"The new element those scientists discussed they found from the lake before. They said that this element had already infused into our lives, which is the main cause for the appearance of abilities and also these mutated animals," Uncle Matthias replied as he strode inside and pulled a chair for himself.

The three of them were familiar with each other mostly because of their family relationship before the flood occurred.

But after working together in this base, their relationship had already strengthened.

At the very least, it was more comfortable to talk with each other compared to talk with that cunning man from Davis Family or the unpredictable man from the Mason Family.

Still, they naturally have some reservation about this.

"That element, huh." Uncle Darien sighed.

If not because of the importance of science and research, there was no way these researchers would have the time and energy to research about the new material. How they managed to find it was also something that Uncle Darien didn’t understand.

I mean...

Just take a look at that report filled with various scientific terms that normal people couldn’t understand. Just reading those report already gave Uncle Darien a lot of headache.

He would rather be presented with the report about the business growth compared to these scientific research report.

"Yes. They’re still demanding for more research fund, but as of now, we can’t really give more to them." Uncle Matthias felt headache when he thought about this.

It was good that these people were curious and willing to spend their time researching and all. But asking for more funds and materials were very difficult.

The last time they tried to transport the result of the ’distillation’ from the lake, there were already several targeting towards the truck. Strictly speaking, the word ’distillation’ was not very correct because the process involved consisted of several things and not only one.

But for Uncle Darien and these two, it would be better for them to use this one word.

Because they couldn’t understand the rest...

*cough*

"They’re already making the solution to let humans ingest the new element, right?" Uncle Darien asked.

"They did do that, but they said that the element was still mixed with various other things from the lake. It would make it far less effective," Second Uncle Kenan replied. "Thankfully, they cleaned it up so that it would be drinkable."

If they didn’t clean it up and it was still that dirty lake water... it was really hard to convince people to drink it. They would be worried that other people would get sick because of other things inside that lake water.

The other two coughed.

"Well, they tried to make five solutions first." Uncle Mathias take out a small bottle from his pocket. "The research result hasn’t been announced, so only the five of us are allowed to know about this. Since you’re busy in your office, I brought yours along when I took mine."

"So that’s what the notification to go to the research facility is for." Uncle Darien looked at the bottle in front of him and nodded. "Did you drink it?"

"I can’t drink it yet," Second Uncle Kenan said. "The researchers said that they didn’t know whether the effect will make me directly become an awakened or not. So I plan to take it later under the supervision of the doctor."

Among the five of them, only him and Mr. Davis were not among the first batch of people who awakened their abilities. The other three have abilities.

Uncle Darien have wood related ability.

It was more about control, though and the current progress was still very slow.

On the other hand, Uncle Matthias’s ability was rock or earth element. He was able to make some small rocks and control them.

But of course, their current progress at this time was exceptionally slow.

It seemed to be the norm.

And this new solution that the scientist made should help them to increase their progress.

"How about you?" Uncle Darien nodded and looked at Uncle Matthias.

"I drink it and the result is not bad." Uncle Matthias rubbed his chin. "Well, not a big improvement, but there’s some."
