"Our robots are not for sale to the public, and this is the only one we have for now."
Lin Yu did not want to make any absolute statements. These robots were ultimately intended for the special needs of the people in Nameless City.
"Furthermore, the reason I'm showing you this robot is simply to inform everyone that aliens have indeed come to Blue Star."
"Do these aliens have any communication barriers with humans?"
"No, they are very intelligent. After arriving on Blue Star, they quickly mastered all the languages on Blue Star."
"Are they dangerous?"
Elder Fei looked at the robot. The robot was still demonstrating some of its basic functions to the humans, appearing quite friendly.
"We haven't seen any signs of danger so far."
"Has anyone here contacted those aliens?"
"City Lord Lu has contacted the aliens many times. Of course, the aliens have also given City Lord Lu many items they manufactured."
"Then they should be harmless. After so many encounters, even gifting such high-tech robots, where are they? Can we get to know them as well?"
Someone finally couldn't hold back their curiosity. Since the aliens were not hostile towards humans, they too dared to try and make contact.
"Perhaps not. With your current capabilities, you wouldn't be able to approach the aliens."
"How so? Didn't you just say City Lord Lu contacted the aliens many times?"
"You likely don't understand City Lord Lu's capabilities yet, otherwise, you wouldn't say that."
Lin Yu glanced at the person. Although everyone present was a leader of a base, Lin Yu was not afraid of any of them, given his and Nameless City's current strength.
"Let alone you, even my small team, with all members being sixth-tier ability users, five hundred people were almost wiped out when they encountered the aliens."
"..."
For a moment, everyone in the room wore expressions of disbelief. However, they had all heard about Nameless City's strength. It was said that all officially registered personnel in Nameless City were at least sixth-tier. Of course, Nameless City also had some family members who, due to their age, could not become ability users.
"Furthermore, another reason why contact with aliens is impossible is that these aliens and the items they produce attract zombies. This is why I had this entire room encased in metal before releasing the alien robot."
"Alright, Fugui, stop the demonstration."
Lin Yu recalled the alien robot into his spatial storage. Immediately, the metal wall in the room retracted. Sunlight streamed into the room. This room had been specially modified to introduce alien items to these individuals.
Seeing the alien robot disappear, the people present showed no particular surprise. They knew Nameless City possessed a type of spatial ring that could store items. However, this item had not been widely sold to the public, and many of them had only heard rumors about it.
"Is Nameless City's spatial ring also a gift from the aliens? Does this item attract zombies? And why are zombies attracted to aliens?"
After the robot vanished, someone spoke up again, asking a series of questions that echoed the thoughts of everyone present.
"Let me clarify first. The ring that can store items is called a storage ring. We in Nameless City do not sell it to the public, and it is not an alien item. It is something we developed ourselves."
"Amazing! What kind of genius did Nameless City find? Such a thing was never heard of being researched before the apocalypse."
"That is confidential for now. I imagine if your base had developed this, you would also keep it a secret."
Lin Yu smiled at the person, but his smile didn't reach his eyes. These people were still somewhat greedy.
"Let's talk about the aliens and why their manufactured items attract zombies."
"Regarding why zombies are attracted to aliens, through some research, we discovered that the chromosomes of aliens share some similarities with the chromosomes of zombies. Coupled with the coincidental timing of the aliens' arrival and the zombie outbreak, this leads us to suspect that the initial zombies were caused by the arrival of the aliens. There's also a more crucial point: zombies do not attack aliens. They are all cellular organisms. All living organisms on Blue Star, including mutated animals, attract zombies, causing them to chase and tear at them. Zombies crave the flesh and blood of these living beings, yet even when alien species, which also have blood and flesh, are nearby, zombies do not harm them. Doesn't that seem strange?"
Silence descended upon the room as everyone listened to Lin Yu's explanation, deep in thought.
"Then, this means these aliens are very dangerous."
"Yes, so if we eliminate these aliens, will these zombies also perish?"
"Your idea is quite peculiar. Don't you know that zombies are also evolving? They are currently evolving into a new species."
Lin Yu shot a look at the person who had just spoken. These people had been through the wringer in society for many years; how could they have such an idea? Were they simply frightened by the news of the aliens?
"Then what should we do?"
"This is precisely why I summoned everyone here. Firstly, Nameless City wishes to disclose the matter of aliens arriving on Blue Star to everyone. Secondly, and more importantly, we want to explain that Nameless City is researching and developing human-suitable technological products by integrating alien items. Although our technology has stagnated, in the future, after eliminating the zombies, technology must be restored, and human life must progress in a better direction."
"Indeed, we must now combine all resources. While eliminating zombies, we must find ways to restore technological development. Nameless City is leading the way in this regard, and we must learn from them." Elder Fei, who had been mostly silent, spoke up again.
"But we don't have any alien items, so we can't develop technology."
"Heh, without alien items, you all can't conduct scientific research? Then your researchers are all useless. I suspect even if you were given alien items, you wouldn't be able to figure out much." Elder Fei retorted to that person again.
"Elder Fei, you can't say that. What if we also had alien items? Perhaps we could truly research something."
"You all don't need to get too worked up here. I didn't call you here to argue. As for researching alien items, it's definitely not possible for humans alone."
"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. When you leave, I can give each of you present an alien item. However, whether you can research anything will depend on all of you. Also, carrying this item around will attract zombies. If you are leaving by car, I hope you will refrain from taking it with you."
Lin Yu had said all he needed to say. How they chose to proceed was up to them.
