Chapter 235: Shut Off From The World
"Could they have mutated from normal kinds of animals? Like that one-eyed white tiger we saw, If that's the case… then…" Someone else in the conference room mumbled in a trembling voice.
"It's too quick to reach a conclusion right now. First, let's exterminate all of those monsters and save the lives of the remaining innocent citizens. After they are saved and the island is clear, we will start searching every corner of that place in order to find what caused this and who's behind it… whether it's some kind of mutation as an after effect of the Mutated HIV or something else entirely, we'll definitely unravel the secrets regarding this matter… since it involves the security of our nation." At this point, the President finally started talking as he articulated a serious of orders and actions.
"Yes, sir." Everyone nodded their heads as they promptly began to act.

The same day, different kinds of videos went viral from the Jeju island as the whole world became aware of the wonderous and terrible incident that had taken place at the Jeju island of South Korea.
Currently, a News Channel was reporting, "Earlier today, tens of strange and gigantic monsters started to appear on an island called Jeju in South Korea. According to the latest information we received, it's estimated that people have died in thousands with the accurate number of casualties still unavailable at this time."
After the short pause, the report proceeded, "The government of South Korea has announced that at this very moment, they are unaware of the real source of these ferocious monsters. However, our reporter who's present at Jeju island has reported that the government of Korea is doing everything they can to both deal with these horrifying monsters and also to understand where these monsters are coming from."
Listening to this particular news which was being screened in various countries of the world in different versions, people began to reach their own personal conclusions one after another.
"Oh my god! Could it be the arrival of Second Acoplaytic Phenomena? The first one just ended and now the second one has already begun? Could it be that God really won't stop till we're all dead?" This was the most popular conclusion that the common people of the world had mostly arrived at. Even some news channels were also directly reporting their news by pointing their fingers in this direction.
Furthermore, the very next day, the front page title of most of the newspapers in the world would be 'Second Apocalyptic Phenomena?'.

In another place, two friends were smoking weed as they watched the television, "Ah… dude… these creatures must be some kind of mutated monsters! It just makes perfect sense right? First comes the Mutated HIV, and now here we go facing mutated animals! Everything's gonna mutate now! Even us… and even this weed we're smoking… ah, I wonder, would that make it stronger?"
"Buddy, don't spout nonsense, who knows what this is? Ahh… maybe it's due to the result of some kind of secret lab's hidden experiments the government of Korea was doing and now it's backlashed on them." Just like that, the other friend also shared his thoughts on the topic.
"Ah… who knows… maybe you're right, or maybe we're both wrong it's the aliens! Hmm… this makes me wonder… do these aliens have some weed? Would their weed be stronger than ours?" The first friend who was absolutely high said further.

In another corner of the world, the conversation ended like this, "I don't care what it is, I just hope that was the end of this all… begone, monsters!"
While the people in the rest of the Earth were just judging the happenings on Jeju Island as a bystander with almost no fear since they were far from Korea, the citizens living inside Korea were dumbfounded as an intense sense of crisis and terror began to bubble up inside them.
Right now, inside a very famous social networking service, it was absolutely chaotic.
"Omo! Unnie, did you see that video? I'm so scared right now! What if those monsters also appear in Seoul? Uwu, I'm really scared…" A user named CrazyFan1 typed in the general chat.
"Don't worry, there is no way it would come anywhere near Seoul since the government is dealing with it as we speak! Didn't you hear the President's speech telling us not to be scared? They won't leave a single one alive." Someone else called CrazyFan2 responded.
"From you two's profile pictures, oppa can see both of you are quite the beauties! Come to oppa and oppa shall protect both of you from those horrible monsters!" Username HandsomeOppa2231 also replied to them.
"Someone needs to protect us from you! You mutated male monster!"
"That's right! You're so shameless, how can you name yourself 'Handsome oppa' with that kind of face!" Both of them began to retort at him in response.

While the world was confused and deeply worried about the terrifying monsters that had shown up in Korea, Virus was currently sitting in the lowest floor of 4 Times Square without any shirts as he proceeded with his practice.
Before sinking into this session of training, he had also warned the golden beauty to not disturb him unless something absolutely urgent happened. So now, completely shut off from the outside world, once again, he restarted his training under the twenty-seven times gravity that of normal.
He understood that he was almost on the verge of reaching the absolute limit of the Corporeal Tempering Stage by reaching the peak of False Sixth Level, Remoulding The Residual Cells. However, he also knew that taking this single step was easier said than done.
Gradually, one day slipped away. A week also went by. Until finally, three weeks had already elapsed.
In these past three weeks, the government of South Korea was at last successful in exterminating all of those monsters.
Among the monsters they had killed, one of them had proven to be an absolute challenge to exterminate and they had to dispatch a few more aircraft to finish them all off.
After there were no more monsters left anymore, the Korean government began to search every corner of the Jeju island in hopes of being able to discover the true source of these dreadful beasts.
Unfortunately though, even after searching every step of the island, their probe was left totally fruitless and disappointing.
So, giving up on that, the government started researching the corpses of the monsters they were able to recover, although there were only a few that had left behind an intact corpse since most of them had already exploded into many horrendous pieces by the aircraft's rockets.
Among these intact corpses, the most eyecatching one was the body of the monster which had been the hardest to kill, the strongest among all those ferocious beasts. And this corpse was the one that the scientists were mostly focusing on in their studies.
That particular carcass was dissected into many parts by the scientists in their governmental labs as they began an experiment on how they had become like that and also to possibly find an answer to the question of where they had originated from.
However, even after days of constant studies under the microscope, they still couldn't find the true reason as to how their bodies had evolved to that shocking point.
Nevertheless, they were able to discover that those monsters' bodies were absolutely amazing. And seeing many of the startling functions of their bodies and innards, the scientists had been fascinated over and over again in the span of these few days as they felt many new doors open in front of them. However, as to the question of how their bodies had evolved to that point or the key to evolve animals like that, they couldn't find any answers at all, not even a bit.
All they could do was to create a hypothesis that there must be some kind of unknown substance that they should've been in direct contact with that had slowly changed them forever.
Another matter worth mentioning was that inside the carcass of the strongest monster, they were able to discover a hard and solid bead which they couldn't even begin to understand what it was at all. To them, it seemed to be a rock, however, its structure was weird and totally confusing.
