Three days later, the basement where Sumire Muroto temporarily resided.
Compared to a few days ago, the environment, which was not exactly a complete mess but not far from it, had undergone a great change. The Gastrea specimens around were not much different, but the several particularly eerie human corpses had all disappeared. The overall feeling was more like a laboratory for various Gastrea research, rather than what one might have previously thought was the lair of some evil cult or terrifying monster.
In front of the central platform in the basement, several appendages as thick as human thighs and several fully sealed storage boxes of various colors were carefully inspected by Sumire Muroto. She even occasionally opened the outer shells to evaluate the contents through the bulletproof glass!
"This is the remains of a Stage [III] Gastrea, right?"
"In the container with infused Varanium metal powder, these flesh tissues and appendage specimens actually maintain a considerable degree of activity. This level of vitality is not something ordinary Gastrea can achieve!"
"Leaving aside these appendages, there are even intact samples of brain and spinal fluid..."
After inspecting the several appendages and the brain, spinal fluid, and flesh tissue specimens left by the giant-clawed snake monster, Sumire Muroto, who had also tidied herself up and looked neat and efficient for some reason, looked at Morin, who had brought Kohina along, with some astonishment and said, "I can't believe you actually got Stage [III] Gastrea specimens so quickly. I thought you would give me some Stage [II] Gastrea specimens or experimental equipment first, and that would have been good enough!"
"Cough cough, actually, the bulk of the specimen was bought by Sima Heavy Industries! I contacted them to recover the corpse of that Gastrea, but I've already agreed with them that some of the other body remains can be sent over, and this batch of experimental equipment has been arranged and will be delivered in the next couple of days..."
Hearing Sumire Muroto's words, Morin coughed awkwardly a couple of times, handing over a folded piece of paper while explaining.
To be precise, after Morin and Kohina killed the giant-clawed snake monster and found that they couldn't transport the very valuable Stage [III] Gastrea corpse, Morin thought for a long time before calling Koike Keiko of Sima Heavy Industries. After some bargaining with her, he sold the Stage [III] Gastrea corpse for a relatively satisfactory price!
"Sima Heavy Industries, they are indeed very powerful... Hmm, this batch of experimental equipment is really needed!"
After Morin mentioned Sima Heavy Industries, Sumire Muroto obviously knew the power of this conglomerate. Then, her attention was drawn to the list of experimental equipment that Morin handed over, and she looked at the list with joy.
"It's good if it helps with the research on the Gastrea Virus!"
Looking at Kohina, who was following beside him, Morin said with some anticipation in response to Sumire Muroto's reaction.
"You can't be so impatient!"
Seeing Morin's posture, Sumire Muroto turned her head to look at Kohina, who was following beside Morin and looking at her with a lollipop in hand, a hint of helplessness in her eyes. She explained to Morin, this layman in medical research, "If the Gastrea Virus were so easy to research, the current situation where various settlement areas are still helpless against the Gastrea Virus wouldn't exist!"
Morin also smiled wryly at Sumire Muroto's blunt truth, indicating that he understood.
How difficult was the research on the Gastrea Virus? Morin certainly hadn't experienced it firsthand, but just looking at the "Black Bullet" world, including the nearly twenty years before and after the Gastrea War where humans hadn't made any groundbreaking progress on the Gastrea Virus, he knew how difficult this work was.
Even Sumire Muroto, one of the "Four Sages," couldn't possibly solve this global problem in just a few days!
"Doctor Sumire, can these Stage [III] Gastrea remains and instruments be used to prepare inhibitors?"
Many thoughts flashed through Morin's mind, but he still looked at Sumire Muroto and asked.
"Yes! With the instruments here and suitable raw materials, small-scale manufacturing of the ordinary inhibitors supplied by IISO is already no problem!"
Sumire Muroto nodded, pointing to the small laboratory that had been tidied up, speaking with confidence. Then, looking at Kohina behind Morin, she asked with a somewhat strange tone, "Is this for your Initiator? I remember IISO regularly distributes corresponding inhibitors to Civil Security officers. Has IISO's policy changed? Or is your Initiator's infection rate too high?"
"That's not it! Brother is for other children... for the children in the Thirty-ninth District..."
Kohina, who had been following behind Morin like a shadow, finally couldn't hold back and retorted somewhat angrily to Sumire Muroto.
"Those Cursed Children? I see!
Sumire Muroto didn't mind Kohina's slightly hostile gaze and nodded in understanding as if she had suddenly realized something.
Although IISO (International Initiator Supervisory Organization) distributed Gastrea Virus inhibitors, it only processed applications for Initiators with registered HP numbers, and even the Promoters who were Civil Security officers had to pay a certain price!
As for those Cursed Children who hadn't become Initiators...
Sorry, IISO wasn't that kind. Those Cursed Children could only resist the erosion of their own Gastrea Virus factors by themselves. They shouldn't even think about inhibitors!
In Sumire Muroto's view, Morin's Initiator, Kohina, had access to a supply channel for Gastrea Virus inhibitors. Being able to kill a Stage [III] Gastrea meant she didn't need to worry about HP rankings and IISO issues. But the content Morin had asked her for wasn't just more effective inhibitors, but also a large quantity of ordinary inhibitors!
Looking at it now, Kohina herself didn't need to be mentioned. The ordinary inhibitors that Morin needed were probably prepared for those Cursed Children!
"Yes, that's right. I think the Cursed Children need these inhibitors... Please wait a moment..."
Feeling Sumire Muroto's gaze soften, Morin looked at Kohina somewhat speechlessly. Just as he was about to continue speaking, the sudden ringing of his mobile phone interrupted him.
"Hello, yes? May I ask what this is about?"
Apologetically gesturing to Sumire Muroto, and seeing her nod without saying anything, Morin took out his phone. Seeing the unfamiliar number on the screen, he asked somewhat strangely.
"Is this Mr. Morin? We are the team commissioned by Sima Heavy Industries. We have arrived at the location you requested for delivery. May we have Doctor Muroto's contact information?"
The information conveyed from the phone made both Morin and Sumire Muroto pause, and then they looked at each other.
Earlier, the delivery team that Morin had commissioned from Sima Heavy Industries had arrived!
