Bona was very reluctant to mention the reason Bora was confined.
Lu Heng couldn't probe the minds of these aliens, and if they didn't say it, he really had no way.
However, they had just talked about the population problem of the Senal people, and perhaps to change the subject, Bona continued with that topic.
"The Senal people are an ancient race, tracing their history back much further than humanity."
"I can understand that. From your ages, I knew your history must be quite long."
"Moreover, our social development has always been simpler than that of humans."
When the Senal people had not yet developed advanced technology, their planet had only one government.
Similar to parliamentary systems in other countries, although there were regional divisions in distant areas,
they all belonged to the same race, and there was no racial division as severe as that among humans on Blue Star.
Coupled with their relatively long lifespans, in a completely peaceful environment, their world developed very smoothly.
The civilization of the Senal people had a history of tens of thousands of years, all of which were spent in relatively safe, peaceful development.
It wasn't until they ascended into space and began searching for resources everywhere that they also came into contact with creatures from other star systems.
Lu Heng fell silent for a moment after hearing Bona's words.
"So, civilization development still needs a limit. Once you come into contact with too much, there will definitely be creatures from more powerful planets who want to invade your planet."
"Not entirely. Some planetary creatures are simply warmongers; they enjoy the thrill of invading and enslaving other planetary beings."
Bona looked at Lu Heng and said, "Would you like to see what the worlds of other planetary creatures are like?"
"No, it's all much the same.
Besides, for me, it's just a difference in appearance. Many creatures still need to be truly understood through contact.
Just like we are now."
"Heh."
Bona understood Lu Heng's meaning and smiled helplessly.
"Bora was confined by the other members of the management for privately going out and contacting humans."
"What's wrong with contacting humans?"
Lu Heng couldn't understand why they had such a rule.
"She is still underage. Our current population is limited, and there are even fewer females. Therefore, for protective reasons, we do not want the Senal people to leave this space."
Lu Heng understood some of what was being said.
"Is it a bit too few for you dozens of people to repopulate?"
Lu Heng knew that for normal human reproduction, under certain specific conditions, the population needed to reach at least a thousand people.
However, the Senal people generally lived longer, so perhaps they were not affected by this?
"We brought some embryonic tissues with us, so that's not an issue."
Then it was even less surprising.
"Without a mother, with your technology, shouldn't you be able to conceive these embryos and create more people through other means?"
"Ahem, this topic seems to have gone too far."
Bona had already revealed a lot about them and didn't want to continue this topic.
"It was just me speaking casually. I came this time to ask if you have found the answer regarding what attracts the zombies?"
"We have found it, but perhaps you might not want to know."
"Go ahead. There's nothing more troublesome than those zombies outside."
The cytology experts in Nameless City had been studying the zombie virus, looking for the cause of their appearance, and for antibodies against zombies.
But there had been no breakthroughs.
"It's related to us.
We compared the cells of zombies, humans, and ourselves, and we can definitively say that the appearance of zombies is due to our arrival on Blue Star, which caused changes in human genes.
As a result, some humans have problems with their evolutionary process; they seem to want to evolve into a new species."
What was somewhat surprising was that the early stages of zombie evolution would have such a significant impact on the original humans and Blue Star creatures.
"Are there any solutions? Like antibody serums or something?"
"We don't have specialized personnel here. The reason we can analyze that zombies are related to us is that some of our equipment can detect gene sequences."
"So you don't have equipment for antibodies?"
"That's not just about equipment; it also requires professional personnel. On our planet, basic medical care is mostly done by some equipment, so ordinary people don't research medical aspects."
"Mm." Lu Heng fell into deep thought again after listening.
If it was related to the Senal people, could he extract antibodies against zombies by obtaining their blood?
He did have the corpses of Senal people in his hands, but he wasn't sure if the cells of dead corpses could be used.
Lu Heng looked at Bona, wondering if they could provide live blood for human research.
Bona looked at Lu Heng and suddenly felt a strange sensation in his body.
Gradually, Bona numbly got up and walked towards a place, then seemed to be searching for something.
After a while, Bona silently returned, holding a transparent tubular object in his hand.
He handed the tubular object to Lu Heng and then sat back down where he had just stood.
Lu Heng looked at the tubular object; it contained a blue liquid.
He put the blue tube back into his spatial storage and then looked at Bona again.
"Can I go see Bora?"
"What?"
As if just coming to his senses, Bona rubbed his arm. It seemed to hurt a little there, but he wasn't sure why.
"I said, can I go see Bora?"
"No, while she's confined, you'd better not go. If they find out, they'll start talking about Bora again."
"Alright, if that's all, I'll be leaving now."
Lu Heng stood up and then looked at Bona, "You guys really aren't leaving this space, and staying here all the time must be quite boring, right?"
"No, there are still many things to do."
Lu Heng raised an eyebrow and smiled, watching Bona still rubbing his arm.
It was a good thing for humans that these aliens didn't leave this space.
"Then I'll be going."
"Okay, I'll escort you to the boundary."
Lu Heng didn't refuse and walked out of the room with Bona.
"Bora is actually in this building. I'll go talk to her later and tell her you wanted to see her."
"Mm, alright."
Lu Heng and Bona walked out of the room, adjusted their flying devices, and flew towards the boundary of the space.
"I'll escort you this far. Next time you come, please inform me with the communicator."
"Speaking of which, this communicator you gave me, how can I ensure that when I connect, I'm finding you?"
This time, when they connected, the first person who answered wasn't Bona, which made Lu Heng a little unaccustomed to it.
"There's a red button here. Press it twice, and then press this blue one once. That will connect to my communicator."
Lu Heng nodded. It seemed that upon returning, he would still need to talk to Evan. Although their items were useful, he didn't understand some of their functions.
