"So you mean—you went through all that trouble to build this dome just to drop neutron bombs inside and completely destroy Manhattan?!"
Alex, who was standing next to Pei Qi as a temporary bodyguard, couldn't help but raise his voice again as he watched the man fiddling with some kind of detonator.
As the perfect host who incorporated all the memories of the top geneticist Alex Mercer, he knew all too well the horror that the words "neutron bomb" meant on a biological level.
That's not some ordinary nuclear weapon like those in Hollywood blockbusters that blow people away with fire and shockwaves.
Neutron bombs are also known as "high-radiation weapons".
Its explosive yield may be small, and the destructive radius of the shock wave and thermal radiation is extremely limited.
However, at the moment of detonation, it releases an extremely terrifying, exponentially explosive stream of high-energy fast neutrons!
These uncharged microscopic particles can easily penetrate half-meter-thick steel plates, thick concrete walls, and even bunkers buried deep underground, just like they can penetrate air!
When these high-energy neutron fluxes penetrate the bodies of carbon-based organisms, they directly destroy the cell nuclei at the microscopic level, like invisible microscopic scissors forcibly cutting and tearing the DNA chains!
For humans, this is an incurable acute radiation sickness.
For the Blacklight Virus, which treats "gene engulfment and telomere recombination" as easily as eating and drinking, the neutron bomb is simply the absolute nemesis of dimensional reduction!
No matter how thick your keratin layer shield becomes, no matter how fast your super-regeneration is.
As long as your essence remains carbon-based biomass, and as long as you still need DNA as a blueprint to reconstruct your physical body, under the baptism of neutron flux, all cells will instantly stop dividing and completely turn into a pool of indescribable dead flesh.
"Why are you looking at me like I'm a war criminal?"
Pei Qi, who was squatting on the ground busy connecting several redstone wires to the detonation controller, answered casually without looking up.
"We generally call this behavior—efficient."
Pei Qi dusted off his hands and stood up.
Looking at the monsters still roaming around inside the glass wall, his tone was full of self-righteousness: "Don't you think this approach is absolutely perfect?"
"Use high-energy neutron beams to completely eliminate all the troublesome carbon-based life forms, while preserving Manhattan’s skyscrapers, streets, infrastructure, and even every blade of grass intact."
"After the floor is cleaned and the room is aired out for a few days, you can move in right away. What a great value!"
Pei Qi turned his head and looked at Alex, whose face was full of complex emotions.
"What? Are you suddenly overflowing with sympathy and starting to feel sorry for those Blacklight virus mutants you've been using as blood transfusions?"
"Since they've grown arms and legs, shouldn't they also be entitled to some kind of wildlife protection law or human rights bill?"
""
"Or do you believe my actions constitute heinous war crimes that violate the Geneva Conventions?"
Pei Qi sneered.
"If this happened in my hometown's social circle, my act of simply dropping a neutron bomb to wipe out the surface population would be considered a merciful act worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize!"
"I didn't use 'Earth Explosion Star' to blast this land into mineral fragments, nor did I use 'Genetic Ascension' to degenerate them into livestock canned food, nor did I use them to transform into giant batteries."
"I merely gave them an extremely satisfying physical release. You should even thank me for my mercy on behalf of those zombies, okay?"
"But there are still living people in this city! Blackwatch has also detained tens of thousands of uninfected civilians!"
Alex gritted his teeth. If he weren't outmatched, he would have loved to punch this madman who treated human lives like data code into the ground.
"And—my sister too!"
"Stop! Stop! Hold on!"
Pei Qi rolled his eyes helplessly and rubbed his temples with his fingers.
"Alex, did the virus assimilate your brain along with your brain? This is the third time you've asked me this same question today!"
Pei Qi glanced at the small, running map in the upper right corner of his view: "Didn't we already spend an extra three hours? Did you think I built that steam airship with the [Mechanical Power] module just to cruise around and enjoy the scenery?"
"I piloted an airship equipped with a full-map scanning radar module and plowed through Manhattan inch by inch, from south to north, from the surface to the basements, three times over!"
"All the yellow and green dots representing neutral and friendly positions on the minimap were forcibly shoved into the airship's absolute defense bay using physical dragging!"
Pei Qi patted his chest: "Including your sister Dana, who was hiding in the safe house and almost got captured by the infected!"
"With my map-seeing ability, I could find not just a few living people, but even a non-mutated husky! Unless these survivors have been bored out of their minds and dug holes to hide in the mantle for the past three hours, they've basically all been found and moved!"
"So, stop looking so miserable and just relax."
"Even if you rescue them—Blackwatch won't let them go."
Alex's expression softened somewhat, but his tone remained heavy.
"Those people saw the truth about Manhattan. To cover up the Blacklight virus leak scandal, the military will definitely kill all tens of thousands of survivors."
"Silence? What is Blackwatch anyway? They dare to talk about silence?"
Pei Qi chuckled, as if he had heard an extremely funny joke.
"Don't worry, Alex."
"I just received a communication from headquarters. Our elite strike team, specifically responsible for handling white blood cells related to the biochemical and memetic plague, has taken full control of the situation on the outskirts of New York."
"Even the high-ranking officials at the Pentagon can only sit obediently in the conference room and listen to our lectures now."
Pei Qi's voice became more serious, carrying an absolute confidence: "Protecting humanity is one of our highest principles."
"Although there will inevitably be a large number of casualties in such an unusual event that has swept through a city."
"But we will still do our best to provide the highest level of protection for all surviving humans and to keep the actual damage to a minimum."
"As for those civilians who have just come into contact with the virus and are still in the incubation period without irreversible mutations—"
Pei Qi glanced disdainfully at the writhing blood vessels on Alex's arm.
"As long as a person's self-awareness and soul have not been completely eroded, our headquarters' medical department can save them."
